Hey there, I personally tried it but detested it. I don’t know why, but I hate how pot makes me feel. Mine was for pain management and I’d rather feel the pain lol. From the sounds of what you would be using it for, it seems like dangerous territory. Sounds like you’re doing well without 
Glad you came on here to ask.

Thank you, yeah, I think I’m okay without it. I kind of miss it, but then again, I only smoked like once in a while, wasn’t a pot head. Took it for sleep mainly.

Have you tried CBD oil for sleep? That might work 
My mom keeps buying it for me. I’m pretty sure it helps me sleep, but can’t say for sure. Still waiting around for all the CBD miracles to happen haha

I should echo what some others already stated. I personally don’t have a problem with cannabid in moderation, but it can cause psychological/behavioural addiction the same way as the fast food joint on the way from home can cause a behavioral addiction.
there will be withdrawal too after heavy use. depending on the person you could have difficulty falling asleep, body sweating while sleeping or having vivid but strange dreams (similar to melatonin effect)
Yes maybe the cold made me grumpy but everyone is different. Weed and alcohol play two very opposite roles in my life. Booze was the party drug. But I can’t stop once I start. Weed makes me introverted, and I don’t dare overdo it because it’s an immediate hell. I don’t depend on it to sleep but it can help. I’m more addicted to caffeine which is given out at AA meetings, even…
I’ve been an alcoholic long before weed ever entered the picture but frankly it’s only helped. I could take up chain smoking like Bill W.

You completely missed my point mate.
Clever anecdotes about the addiction properties of the caffeine in the coffee at AA meetings and bill w the founder of AA,s tobacco addiction just go over my head as I have never been to AA nor will I ever go.
I would really like to point out in a friendly manner the things that stand out glaringly obvious to me from what you say but I fear that it would just come across as a personal attack which is a shame because if you could understand what I mean then it would quite possibly help you out to no end.
I really hope that you get to enjoy the completely alcohol free happy life that you want and from what I have seen you say regarding your relationship with alcohol in old posts of yours it seems to also be the alcohol free, happy, fulfilled life that you need.
None of that was designed to be a bashing.

It wasn’t me m8"
It’s almost as bad as the AA Facebook group I’m on. They are the worst advertisement for AA I’ve ever seen. People clearly needing medical detox or psych evaluation… “Go to a meeting! Start praying!” And I put in one word edgewise about how Bill W smoked (and died from it) and they can’t handle it. And people wonder why I’m not rushing out to join… That’s not my personality. And favoring one drug over another is totally hypocritical.
The egos of some of the veterans on here are out of control.
I realize it wasn’t you but it’s just typical.
I must be thick I don’t know why this got flagged. Sorry.

It wasn’t me neither.
It probably got flagged because you are promoting using weed on a sobriety forum. If you want to post about how you still use drugs you can start a topic in seeking help. I’m not sure how AA is involved as you are the one who keeps bringing it up. Not quite sure what your obsession is with bashing AA or how it fits in to this topic at all but you keep doing you.

If the post wasn’t against community guidelines the mods would unhide it just FYI. So apparently it’s against guidelines.

I got spiritual (not religious), I practice living in gratitude. I got a sponser, and I worked the steps of AA. It really does work.

I work in the cannabis industry. When I stopped drinking I gave up weed too. It felt like I was using one vice to escape the other. I would recommend acknowledging why you want to get high in the first place. When I realized I wanted to get high because I couldn’t get drunk I realized it might be a deeper issue.
However, I never had an issue with weed like I did alcohol. I was more a social user so I don’t feel as much temptation to use.
