Hi Guys,
What do you think about tha from Friday to Monday every single chanel increase de advertisements on tv and every social networks?
I unfollow any brand of alcohol but is is not enough, pages of food talk about recipes of cocktails, funny about to get drunk, cnn about hangover, etc.
It to hard to accomplish your goal when you are literally surrendered by alcohol, I am so angry about thet.
The same with weed, every body talking about it, I don’t smoke but since i see it everywere I desire it. Do anybody smoke to substitute alcohol? Do you recomend?
Thanks Oliver,
I am in the point of wondering… how can I will enjoy or relax without any substance? It is almost impossible to me to think about it for the rest of my life (have you been there).
My comment about weed is because I was very informed about it when I have been on panic atacks, at this time it doesnt works because I was very deep on my anxiety and alcohol, so it couse one of my worse panic atacks ever.
I read some articles that use weed to calm down insted medicine and some drinkers gets so much better and their lifes changed i a possitive way.
That’s a major part of my recovery. It takes a lot to be completely aware of the temptation yet still not give in. However substituting one substance for another (like weed for alcohol) is debilitating. The point for me is to become completely ok with myself on absolutely no intoxicants what so ever.
By exchanging it would only be a new crutch to lean on when in sobriety you can run free.
For years I traded one vice for the other. rationalizing with myself that if I was abstaining from one thing it was ok to replace it with something else. all I was really doing was fooling myself and when I finally decided enough was enough I gave up everything in order to be clean and sober! it’s tough but the benefits are so worth it!
