I have 6 months of no nothing. On Jan 1 I quit smoking weed and drinking. I was a chronic pot smoker - more than 4 times a day. I drank a t least a six pack of beer or a bottle of wine 5 to 6 times a week.

I now wake up early and walk to work (5 miles) and I left when I get home. I go to bed before 9pm and wake up at 5.

I feel great bro!

I've been free of weed for about a year now after being a daily moderate smoker for over 3 years.
>pros
I can breathe deeply and clearly
I no longer feel the actual need to smoke when I'm upset or stressed or bored
Saved money, at one point I was smoking 100 dollars of pot a week
Not as lethargic as I was, i actually exercise and take care of chores now instead of ignoring all of it because stoned
I dont smell like weed and neither does my apartment anymore
Not worried about drug tests at work or if I go for new employment somewhere
>cons
Do still have cravings for substances which I fill with booze typically
I also tend to smoke cigarettes when I get drunk but that's unrelated really
Sometimes miss being high but not very often

Cant think of anything else that's relevant

Trying to cut back coffee. I'm allowed to drink only 4 cups a day, and only before 15:30.
Yes, I know 4 is a decent amount, but I used to drink much more, usually between 8-12 cups a day.

I've quit heroin, crack, benzos, weed and alcohol. I was heavily addicted to all off them on seperate times. After quitting them I felt a huge emptiness which I filled with working and becoming sucfesfull. It's been three years now and I only relapsed 2 times. Both times I fell in love and when it was over I binged for 2 weeks, got sober and focused on work again. I learned that I should pick my partners more carefully but now I'm afraid to love again, if it goes south I might relapse again. The only times I was happy was during those relationships.

Atleast I have money and a career, right?

killed all social gains
great for all other life gains

USed to drink and smoke daily for years. I quit it all once i got my life on tracks and even tho i still drink from time to time i don't smoke and i don't drink coffey. I watch my food and waterintake carefully.

I've never felt better and at the same time, i've never been so bored.

I'm 28 years old I've never done drugs or alcohol. I feel pretty good overall.

Haven't smoked pot in years, gave up drinking a few weeks ago. Famous in my area as the guy that can outdrink anyone. Glad to be slowly losing the reputation of being a fighting drunk.

Followup, I think both were inhibiting my intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social growth as a human being. I am trying to improve myself and I've come to learn that all of the excess in my life was making all of my other character flaws even worse. This is coming from a guy who has a house, and a girlfriend I've been with 6 years, 2 cars, all that nonsense. When you have it all and you're not happy, it may be because you're still hurting yourself and don't realize it.

Cut heroin just shy of two years ago.
I don't drink or anything nor care to. I feel good but I also feel feels now

Working on it currently. This is the 4th day of working out in a row that I've managed for over 2 years. I'm a full on alcoholic, so cutting back has been the hard part. The weekends are usually when I lapse because it feels like it drags on and on

I am trying to quit cigarettes, 1 week streak so far and I am having a huge crave. Also no porn, which I am completely failing...
I really admire people able to quit heroin or other hardcore drugs. You are tough people, I am afraid to ever try something stronger than weed because I know I couldnt quit easily. You guys are real fighters.

Fuck no getting high is totally bitchin.
I do everything except H. Don't hold back my gains at all.
>not wanting thotties to do lines off your cock

>8-12 cups

Ive been there user this time last year i was drinking bout that much now im down to like 4 and i drink a liter of water per cup of coffee

this

I’ll never quit drinking because I have a way too high stress of a job and family life. It’s my only cruche in life. Although I’m not an alchoholic and have gone many times without drinking.

>I go to bed before 9pm and wake up at 5.
Fuck why?

Been cutting back alcohol a lot plus eating right. Loss 60 pounds since .

Cutting back on coffee to help my digestion, I suspect I have IBS and coffee doesn't help when caffeine makes me piss out my ass.

having your weekends planned and waking up earlier through the week so you are too tried to drink in the evening is what helped me. Try to pick up a new skill like learning to play an instrument will help distract yourself.

keep doing this forever user. you'll have a happy life.... lmao

There is nothing wrong with drinking heavily so long as you lower your calories on days when you do so and don't skip the gym the day after even if you have a hangover.

shhhhhhhhhhhh
pls

Today's my 5 month sober anniversary. Feels fucking great. Can't believe I was stupid enough to get drunk every fucking day


I've relapsed on tobacco a couple times, mostly out of boredom which is why I try to stay super busy now.

On alcohol ive had more in the past.
Have more energy the less I drink, don't have to skip meals to make up calories consumed so less hungry. No hangovers etc.
I still drink though. It's really not a huge change
This but I dont lift anymore immdoing daily cardio to help burn more calories and also because I like walking/jogging as a way to unfuck myself psychologically.

I've been getting into the habit of taking 1 to 2 shots a night after work to help chill out and relax.

Progress hasn't taken any negative turns so I dont think it's that bad but I still think I'm gonna try to cut it out completely after this weekend for a while. See how a week or 3 of no booze affects me.
