Had to give it up. Been a few weeks now and hasn't been a big problem. Although, if I had a premium sativa around I'd be torching up about a foot long spliff. : )
I really had to stop to see exactly where I was emotionally with the bipolar stuff. I'm also back in therapy and didn't want to go through all that work then come home and hit the bong.
I quit drinking many years ago when I started meds. I also had the benefit of seeing what alcohol is capable of doing to a person who has hit bottom. I never wanted to go there so booze wasn't that tough for me to kick. I was close enough to the line and I knew the hazards of stepping over that line. I basically scared myself sober.
Pot has always been my drug of choice. I wouldn't say I was a heavy user unless one considers daily consumption for 10 years heavy. I've used pot for 34 years but the last ten were a little over the top.
So...we'll see where this road leads. I'm really a big fan of pot(nooooo!!!) so I'm not here to send a message. I'm just here to talk.
So far it feels okay to not be smoking while sitting naked on a bean bag eating Cheetos.
(I borrowed that line-thanks Tater)
If you aren't at the same place as me, fire one up and enjoy.Sincerely,
Roland Numbers~~~
