Just read about the coke... To be fair, I've been smoking cbd oil for the body high.
CBD.. for when you're feeling sober, yet sociable.
Good Luck with round two!

I will be giving this a go as soon as I can get myself to get off suboxone, minus cannibis and funny tea because those only work to my advantage 
Good luck though. You're not one of those people who talks about this all the time yet never does it are you? don't let me be right about that. (loledit sorry I caught up a bit. i coulda called it tho had it not already happened )

I'm about to lose my mind, I think it'd been about 20 days smack free?
Woke up this morning needing some smack.

Oh I know, I'm already so happy with myself.
My body was literally falling apart and an overdose must've been around the corner.
I just hate how fucking tight of a grip that shit gets over me.

You could say I was-- I literally had to pack up my back pack, leave my camp in the woods in Seattle and move several states away just to get away from the shit, because even without money you best believe I'll still be slamming dope.. I had to leave everything behind, everyone behind.

I'm on the same track, guys. Haven't smoked for 3 weeks, but all of my neighbors smoke weed, ciggs, and drink, and the chick i like smokes both, too. I'm still abstaining, but daaaaamn. Without my weight bench and heavy bag this would be SO much FREAKIN HARDer i swear.
Putting out the good luck feels to everyone trying to change themselves for the better!!

Self improvement is all we have, you gave up weed, booze and cigs? Damn man, you are going hard to the paint, I gave up narcotics and thought I was making a vast improvement, I haven't even thought too much about my THC or Nicotine intake yet, but I'm sure I'll get there sooner or later.

I took a month off weed this same month last year. This time it's easier since I don't have a boyfriend constantly toking up in front of me. I really don't even think about it now and really enjoying my sober life.

I was on the hard shit, weened down to weed, then down to cbd oil to keep the relaxed body feeling while my head was learning to deal with sobriety, Now I just hit that cbd oil in a cheap vape pen once in a blue moon. For me it was all about weening. Every time I got cocky and tried it cold turkey I failed. lol and yeah, quitting feels like work so it's kind of rewarding and thanks for bolstering my confidence. most people just give you shit for not being able to quit like it's supposed to be something that's easy to do

Oh man I can't wait until those words can leave my lips, when I had several months of sobriety together 100% clean I was loving life, and nothing seemed to be out of my grasp, world was my oyster.
And then came along a girl named heroin.

I know how you feel, I wish I was one of those people who can pick up and leave any substance, I am unfortunately not one of those people and a drug-free life is a bit of a challenge, and it definitely feels like work so it is rewarding in that aspect, plus my family and friends seem to enjoy my company when I am not all strung out and pan-handling for 3.50$ for the bus, haha 
Plus talking about it, even over the internet is helpful, knowing you are not alone in the struggle.
Keep it up!

In a nutshell, cbd oil is great. Since I'm trying to get away from drugs, I don't dab huge rips of if, but sometimes a party calls my name. Even then, I can smoke some and... imagine getting a great great couch lock high, with no disorienting head high feeling. You're very much relaxed, but the adhd-style of thinking is gone, and you actually remember the revelations you have. lol Just like people switching from ciggs to vape, you can form a habit with it if you're not paying attention to your consumption rate, just fyi. It comes in vape-pen drops, food products, and shatter for dabbing. Did I mention it doesn't show up on a drug test? The last time I went three weeks without drugs I was literally ready to kill myself and rationalized that risking losing my job to a potential random drug test was better than dying so i got back on the drugs. Now if I feel super down, I can hit this, relax, and not be mentally fucked up, so I can actually rationalize why I'm down and feel better. [sorry if that's getting too personal, but I know some people will read it and it'll help them]

Don't let the first month of sobriety from the hard drugs like meth coke and crack and heroin deceive you. It's after 30 days in where you get the PAWS and that's when you want to go back.
Back when I was a tweaker it was always easy to go a few days or even a week without getting high but after a little bit of normalcy it is easy to go straight back to old habits and even go harder.
