Hello SFGayMan30s: It is truly a blessing to hear from you. I am elated to hear about your new relationship and that you are doing well. Relapse is definitely a part of the journey, so don't be too hard on yourself. I am sorry to hear that you hit a personal low but, again, it's great to hear things...

You are right. Love the line from Batman: "why do we fall? So we learn to pick ourselves up." You got this! It's all part of the process. Glad to hear you're back on the wagon. Blessings to you!

@ Tony - so glad to hear that you are doing well. I know too well, it's a daily battle. :) Never let your guard down and expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to an addiction. I am super proud of you my friend. 81 days clean today - An obligatory 4/20 Post: I'm not sure if 4/20 is as preva...

Hell yea! Congratulations. Keep up the good work

42 days is definitely a huge start, especially since the first several weeks/months tend to be the hardest. Just keep your eyes on the prize and stay motivated and pretty soon you won't even remember what day you are on anymore. Also, it helps me to acknowledge the anxiety instead of denying it. I'm...

@TonyTheCat - thank you kindly for your words of encouragement. I've found that anxiety comes and goes in waves but overall I've seen HUGE and DRASTIC improvements in terms of my overall anxiety since quitting. I do have GAD, but a lot of my weed-related anxiety revolved around social situations and...

10 Weeks Today - 70 days Hey All - just a quick update. Today is 70 days for me, or 10 weeks for those of you who choose not to partake in division ;) I don't have the energy to go on my typical rant, suffice it to say I'm holding strong and you should too. I don't even remember what it's like to b...

@ Natmar89 - Hello and welcome to the party. My particular app is called "Sober Time" but there are a handful of them out there for you to choose from. I wish you the best of success in your endeavors and if you ever need a sounding board all of the people here are @mazing!

JC - I'm so happy to hear you are doing well my friend I'll shoot you a longer reply here shortly when I'm not on my phone but know that you've been on my mind and it thrills me to know that you're doing well

2 Solid Months Off Herb - 60 Long Days/Nights Exactly... And I am loving life. Yes, I've been quiet my friends because I've focused much time and energy into trying to improve my life and clean up some of the mess I had left in the wake of my addiction. I gotta say, I love each and every single one...

I do pity the people who are even now blazing every day with no idea what may lie in store for them. I do too my man! When I went to my first MA meeting they had a moment of silence at the end, which was basically for the people out there still suffering. I practically burst into tears. I can't bel...

JC - I am absolutely delighted to hear that you are staying strong. It sounds like you had an excellent morning of solitude and got to enjoy some of San Fran's amazing views, if I was closer I would have joined you for a walk :) I have friends in San Fran and have really enjoyed visiting from time t...

BUMP... JC I've also been thinking of you! I hope you are doing well, my friend. Today is Day 47 for me and I am NEVER LOOKING BACK. The clarity, confidence, hope, and strength I have built by facing my own demons is absolutely worth it. And like ED said, it comes at a price. I'm a young man in my 3...

It takes time...I did it once before and lasted for a few years before somehow relapsing. I remember at 6 months I felt "great" and at a full year I felt "normal." And this is from a very compulsive, heavy smoker. The key is time, patience, endurance, and hard-work. I like to thi...

@ Reckoning - I totally understand what it's like to write a beautifully-crafted response only to hit the wrong key and watch it disappear in a cloud of smoke (pun intended, haha). That's too bad that you are still experiencing sleeping issues, my sleep is still hit and miss but so much better than ...
