This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.
We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

One thing at a time, one thing at a time.
I've seen people do the "I'm going to get sober and I'm going to stop smoking and I'm going to start [an unfeasible exercise programme from scratch] and I'm going to lose weight and ..." thing and it never works out as they hoped.
So my advice, which is worth what you paid for it, obviously, is to take it easy. Get a stretch of sobriety under your belt before making any other changes. You may find that your weed use decreases naturally anyway, and you can start the 12-step programme when you're in a different headspace with it.
good insight thankyou, yeah us addicts really wanna change the world in a weekend. one thing at a time.
