No breakfast in morning just backside roll,crisps and can of coke etc,rarely eat lunch then eat at teatime.Past week or so I been getting sdtomach ache not sever...

alcohol damages the gastric mucosa which causes pain and eventually the development of ulcerations and bleeding. improving your diet will help a little but the only the solution is to stop drinking alcohol for a while and allow your mucosa to heal.

one term used for this type of person is "problem drinker". basically, it's not full blown alcoholism because the person is not physically dependent on alcohol but the person still clearly has a drinking problem.

if you feel healthy, chances are you are healthy. that's not true for every drug but i would say its mostly true for the drugs you were using. you can always have your heart and liver tested. i smoked marijuana heavily for years and my liver tested perfectly normal, although my stomach didn't.

yeah i had all the same symptoms but i kept on smoking because "supposedly", everything goes back to normal when you stop. it never did for me though, it's been over 2.5 years since i have smoked marijuana and i still feel lasting effects on my mind, body and perception. don't get heavy in...

just curious, how is it different from AA and NA?

i've been wondering the same thing. when i came to this forum i thought i was going to be in the minority in terms of people trying to recover from marijuana addiction. instead in turns out we make up the majority. in the real world, there are far more alcoholics than marijuana addicts. i have no id...

i found that fresh fruit was one of the few things i could eat. just take a few bites at a time (or however much you can manage) and your apatite should return to normal within 10 days. how much were you smoking for how long and how long have you quit? a couple days without eating much wont kill you.

i feel exactly the same way you do. in fact its very depressing for me to read this forum and see other people recovering from marijuana addiction and finding happiness whereas ever since i quit marijuana, my life has been an utter hell (not that it wasn't when i was smoking, towards the end it was)...

for me it's not so much the length of time i smoked, but the amount i smoked in a relatively short time (roughly 2 years). i think if i had smoked the same amount, only more spread out over a long period, i would be less damaged.

i find your post extremely difficult to read and confusing.

i feel the same way, except instead of spiritually enlightened, i feel dead inside. its very hard for me to get motivated to do anything. it takes me every ounce of energy to get out of bed to go work in the morning and when i get home, i usually just want tv to pass the time til i can go to bed.

i believe it is the opposite, diseases are physical manifestations of psychic phenomena. the mind is in control.

why can't you keep your old friends? is it lack of will power? marijuana destroyed my life and yet my friends still smoke it. when i go over to their place, the smell sickens me and i have no desire to smoke so i just turn it down every time they offer. it's never been an issue. sure, they'd like it...

hash and weed aren't exactly the same. hash is more refined. it should very similar to giving up weed and i cant really comment on the difference.
