It felt good to lay all of the craziness out like this. I'm glad that you too were able to get something from all of this.
Congrats to you for finally managing to give up alcohol! I have found that these days when it comes to mind it is only because I am bored. Finding another way to be entertained is very easy to do and a must to stay sober.
I won't say that I've QUIT smoking weed, because I'd definitely still do it if offered by a friend... But I have only smoked once or twice in the past year and have a love for edibles now that fills my need. Let's be honest, smoking is terrible for our lungs. Vaping perhaps too, just not as bad maybe. I do agree that cannabis has numerous benefits though, so gotta get it somehow. Smoking is far better than drowning your liver though!
Proud of you man 🤝
You've definitely inspired me to lay out my shit like this. It has to be healing to be able to open up like this and get it all off your chest!
And I get that completely, and that's why I try to stay so busy now..between work, the kids, the garden, and the new puppy I got my hands full. Now I got this going on in the little spare time I do have just have something of my own to do and work on!
We did just get some rather discomforting news yesterday, and while I am official 5 months sober today, I have to say this is the first time I've really felt the urge to drink. But I feel like that is a story for another time.
However, I fully agree smoking is terrible on your lungs! I still smoke cigerettes unfortunately, and haven't quite managed to cut back on those either, but I know it's all mental at this point, because I've been through the physical withdrawals during the few stints I've done in jail previously.
But yes, I do need to find a healthier vice for my smoking habit! I've heard good things about thc oil and infusing food and drinks, however, I've never personally tried any.
Thanks bro! I am so thankful to have been fortunate enough to meet you, and I hope one day we will be able to meet in person! Maybe you and @flowerbaby can show me and my girl some of those beautiful spots you keep posting about!
