Damn... I can relate to this topic.. I'm in the 30-40yr old range. Been trying to kick booze for maybe 15 years now. Been a functioning alcoholic since I was about 21-22 but my life is probably only a small fraction of what it could be.
3 days sober and almost out of green and fighting the urge not to drink. Had to re-up on some bud as if I give into drinking and have no pot, I'll drink non-stop. Weed acts as a referee to let me know I'm drunk enough.
As stated when it comes to keeping sobriety, I also believe you have to have something to look forward to. Something daily to take care of, like growing plants or mushrooms. I was sober most of the time I was learning and growing mushrooms, but now I have more than I need so I've stopped for now and the boredom set back in and I started drinking daily for weeks.
Trying to have things to look forward to and planning them out I think is going to be my best effort. I can't be trusted in a group. I feel as though I lie and judge and find a reason to drink after every AA meetings. I have to stay busy tho.

It’s really dumb how available alcohol is. I don’t believe we should tell anyone what they can and can’t put in there own body but drug laws are not like me. How do they justify something that has killed so many people and not just those who drank it think about the drunk drivers killing people. I think mushrooms are much more safer and healthy than alcohol and I feel a benefit from taking them with alcohol it’s just the moment on mushrooms I contemplated my entire life in minutes. But I can’t just go to the local store and buy shrooms like I can liquor. Why is all the really harmful stuff legal? Think of alcohol tobacco inhalants RC chemicals and seeds there all more dangerous than the illegal things. The government doesn’t care about its people’s best interest.

As the OG Terence Mckenna is known to have said “Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
Alcohol keeps you dumb and better to be violent and dumb than threaten the norms with coherent ideas.

It's doable guys. If you was able to stay sober for 3 days or even just 24 hours, that means the power is within you.

the danger isnt the alcohol. the danger is being irresponsible.
like you said, drunk drivers kill.. well its not the alcohol that killed innocent people, its the fuckup who decided it was safe to drive while intoxicated

29 days no weed. I gave it up for the month so I could use some in 2 days if I wanted to, but the only thing I have left is cartridges which I'm not a fan of. I might wait longer to get some better material.

I do plan to do that eventually but that's a bit longer of a lag time than I was hoping for ha. Doesn't it take at least 3 months? Longer than it takes to grow cubes.
But I do really like the idea of only using what I grow myself.

Today I am 1 week sober not normally worth mentioning but I have been feeling great. Although my lungs have been hurting past couple days that was my covid defense. I feel like my body is a little ukraine waiting for covid to invade it at this point. Sometimes youve been stoned for so many years that being sober is like a whole new drug. Youtubes dakota of earth said that and he was right. I think they put too much pesticides in my local mmj it was affecting me in negative ways...either that or smoked so much my body was like wtf. Thats what happened with alcohol i drank so much it turned into something else from what it was. Hard to believe with weed but everyone is different. I havent been sober most of my adult life its time to turn over a new leaf.

Did you have any physical withdrawals? I never had any but the longest I drank everyday was about 2 months. I’m going to stop using alcohol but it’s so easy to get and I crave the effects. I’m going to save up money for 1P-LSD. I bet it would help me out and I would be sober 14 days between trips. I’m really struggling with my addiction mostly nicotine THC and alcohol though. I don’t want to be sober but I don’t want to die at an early age. It’s hard because I keep thinking I’ll quit and want to but never commit to it.

yes, but it was very mild. i did not quit cold turkey. i tapered down to about one 50mL shot of whiskey a day and that lasted for one week. and when i stopped i also drank a bunch of kombucha, which has like 0.5%ABV just to be safe
i would also make tea from valerian root and that helped with the cravings for the first few days.

Tea from chamomile or lemon balm should serve the same purpose.
Those herbs really can help with the withdrawal although you can't count on them to prevent serious delirium tremens.

the valerian root has more of a sedating effect and i would use it to help me with anxiety at the end of the day/before bed (when i needed a drink the most)
no way would it prevent DT, but i wasnt expecting any because i was able to ween off of alcohol rather than stop abruptly

When I quit to go on active duty a few decades ago, I had the most incredible weed dreams, even woke up feeling high and thinking that my brother and cousins were blowing shotguns in my face while I slept. Smoked some of the best weed ever in those dreams!!

40 days sober from weed 33 days sober from alcohol 
Ya know what guys? I think I'm drinking tonight, what the fuck.
It's been a month since I started that new job. I was gonna hang with 4 coworkers (2 guys 2 girls) this saturday and was gonna drink and possibly smoke anyway, but I've decided that I dont think I wanna hang with them and will probably make some excuse to not go.
This job environment, even though it's 100% remote, reminds me of when I was a waiter. Supervisor loses her shit on a regular and is always cursing everything and everyone out and everybody seems to think that this is normal.
sorry guys

To be honest I’m drunk and high and fighting nausea it’s not super good 100% I think I smoked to much I don’t think drugs are the answer I feel trapped in a cycle. Do what you want though it’s a free country.
