Congrats Alex for your 80+ days. I'm at almost 5 months here, still fighting the good fight. I am feeling
good almost all of the time, but still have a lot of anxiety. My sleep is slowly getting better, though. I still
alcohol sober too. But it's a fragile thing, we must keep strong! Cheers man, Ed.

Glad to hear good news from you Alex!

Indeed, these last days I was thinking if everything was ok for you. Your posts are very inspirational my friend, and well written. So let's keep this good fight. Have a good day Alex and all others!

Happy to read these good news JC! It must be a good feeling to meet some potential romantic partner that is on the same path of sobriety as you. Personally, it has never happened to me neither, and I'd like to. It's like we are some extraterrestrial or something. But this sobriety, with all its true...

Good morning guys. Thanks Alex for your kind words. Indeed, this forum has helped me a lot because I feel that we are a lot of people living this situation, and we are all trying to be the best person we can by being free of addictions and gaining freedom. This is wonderful to say the least and it g...

Hey JC how are you man? Still in the sobriety path? It is not easy. I am sober myself but
there are some days when I feel the crave for alcohol and drug but I am not falling there again.
I am so grateful to live this time of freedom, even if it comes with a cost of loneliness. Cheers,
Ed

So true. Yesterday I woke up at 3:30 am (instead of 7 am), could not fall asleep again, and I was feeling literally crazy in the afternoon because of the anxiety. Very sick thing. My whole body was itching, all humans, myself included, were absurd and monstruous. Was happy to get back at home and si...

Great post man. I am in a similar situation, had to quit seeing an old smoking buddy. It is not easy, because I am more alone than ever, but I am sober, dealing with all the problems through the magnificent power of sobriety. Keep on, you can do this, we all can. We’ll be stronger each day.

Happy to hear that, man. I will eventually attend one of these meetings too. I am feeling so good overall with this new life, discovering what I am really, that I am not willing to go back to my weed smoking life. Have a good one.

I'll be 100 days pot free in two days and still have sleep issues. Actually I'm on sleeping pills, so yes, it's normal.

Hang on there man.

Hi Alex,

So how was the MA meeting? Did you meet some interesting people out there?

Have a nice day.

So true, guys.
Cheers.

@ Alex Thanks man. MA meetings is a good idea, I'll check it out in my city as well. But as you say, loneliness it's the price of progress at this moment. I am staying away too of people who smoke, not only because I would surely be tempted, but because I find this lifestyle to be a little bit depre...

Thanks for your kind words JC. I am sure you are a good man too, by the way you think and write. I was walking today in downtown and could smell weed. It was somehow enchanting as you said --even if some other days I can find the smell repulsive--. I had to tell to myself that this was part of the &...

Yes I know it's not easy. Addiction is a tough thing. Keep on your independence journey. This past week I was tented too, briefly. My mind was telling me that I wanted to be stone. But sobriety is far better, even if it takes courage some times, when you have been addicted. I am 3 months free of wee...

Yes sir it gets better. Keep on the fight. This freedom is the best time of life. Today I am 3 months weed free and 1 month alcohol free. I never thought I'd be writing this. I feel grateful but I need to be careful and don't get too complacent. It is a never ending fight but it gives a lot of rewar...
