I really admire the good ole pot heads who get clean. With so much being studied and published about the reefer these days, addiction is getting bad for many - but denial is strong since it can be played off as harmless and safe easy fun. Not to mention all the crazy strains and edibles, vapes, oils, and CBD for kids! once they start advertising it on TV and billboards, it will be like booze.

So kudos to you for seeing the problem you have with toking and moving on with your life. Hit me up if you need anything. Good Luck and Keep Posting!

Thanks!

That's a nice piece of advice/heads up about the 90+ days and feeling "I've got this." We also have a red 90 day... Key tag. I'm very proud of it but I can totally understand that I might have a tendency to slack and end up relapsing.

It's interesting to hear also because as I wrote my post last night I thought... Is cutting back from 5 to 2 meetings a week really a good idea? I'm not sure it is. I do have a home group and I make coffee for my home group. The past 2 weeks I chaired a couple meetings. That was really cool. I think I will only cut out 2 meetings a week and go back to the Sunday AA speaker meetings. I really enjoyed them in the past. So that will be 3 NA meetings and 1 AA meeting.

Oh and yeah... Quitting smoking pot now with it becoming more acceptable, legal in some states, is like my worst nightmare. Then I thought, I'm no different than an alcoholic who can't drink even though it is legal.
