Nice! The gift of sobriety just keeps giving.
I hit 7 years a week ago. Celebrating tonight with my AA friends. I’m still only an arm length away from picking up again, so I work my recovery program daily to avoid complacency.

Eighteen days sober from cannabis. I knew I needed to quit but I didn’t even realize how much I was truly affected. Grumpy still, and so tired. Doing this to be a better mom to my precious boy. But today it was my husband who spent hours cleaning while we napped. Hoping to come out of the fog soon. This is my first post comment; hello everyone.

Welcome @BetterMommy ! I quit weed only 75 days ago so I feel ya. The mood swings are not fun but you should be feeling better soon. 
Your son is a lucky boy to have a mom who wants to be her best for him.

Thank you for this message, it stopped me from talking myself into hitting the dab pen. I appreciate how supportive everyone is in this community. I almost felt silly for “only” having marijuana to get sober from when other substances are so much more acutely damaging. But it’s still a struggle and life is still better without it! So I guess I count here too.

I never planned to quit weed because I didn’t think it was a problem. I mean it was obvious that alcohol was a problem in my life! But once I quit drinking I began to see how much I was depending on weed and knew I needed to quit. To be honest there are days where I still think about it too much but it’s getting easier to let it go. You have landed in a great spot, I always find inspiration here! Again, welcome.

Hell yes you count! Really doesn’t matter the substance (even pixie dust straight from tinker bell) can take our most precious gift from us, our mind.
And, I’m gonna let you know up front & early. The idea of you dabbling in booze, or anything else mind altering, legal or not, won’t ever be a good idea. It’s always waiting in the back of our brains for that opportunity to be center stage again.
Stick around because you deserve a happy & healthy life!

5 days clean. Starting to feel human again. I was able to make it through the day today without needing 16+ hours of sleep and only took a 2 hour nap after work.

28 days today, just finished at the gym, feeling clear headed and focused, ready to trade in my 24 hour chip for 30 days at my Wednesday meeting surrounded by sober friends and my sponsor! One day at a time but I am so excited to hit this milestone. I remember last time I hit 30 days and it was such a morale booster but it’ll be nice to go to meetings and not introduce myself as a newcomer but now as a full time regular

30 days is a big one for sure @Jwfletcher4792! It changed everything for me because I was only going to try a 30 day cleanse from alcohol and then reevaluate. Now here I am at Day 910. Congratulations on your milestone!
