Quitting alcohol for health and fitness and using cannabis instead + easiest edibles to make?

[MonsterMouth]

I've used THC to get through alcohol withdrawals so it does work. Make some edibles for sleep and keep a cart or some bud handy for cravings. It's harm reduction because alcoholism sucks. I eat too much on it but I also don't miss waking up in my own feces not remembering what the fuck I did the night before. Good luck on your journey

you will need to hit rock bottom since you dont have the will power to quit drinking.
maybe get arrested. possibly do some time. get raped a few times. and maybe that would be what you need. maybe or maybe not change your mind about drinking.

what got me to finally stop was being absolutely completely drunk several times in quick succession, with police involved on 2 occasions...in my early 60s

"is there concrete all around or is it in my head"

Prison is easily escaped. What decides it is how much money you can spend. If you have plenty you won't serve a day.

ha, yes!, but it was still going strong when i was a kid...it was a bit racist but not too bad

Thankyou bro, how long have you stopped drinking for? And do you like edibles? I have things I need to do before I kick the bucket too, alcohol gets in the way of those things😩
Cannabis is great but I agree, when I'm stoned I'm actually less social but I'm okay with that😅

Sorry took me a while to get back to this thread. I have not stopped drinking but have gone from every day to about 2-3 days a month. Have lost so much weight and actually have solid shits vs constant spraying out my ass. My skin is better, I'm not groggy in the mornings, my appetite is back and I hate myself much less. I'd love to get to 100% sober but am unsure if it's all that a realistic goal at this point in my life (late 30s). I still want to stop completely but haven't had a ton of success getting much further than 100 days in the past.

Take your pick

And @GenericMale, best of luck!

Alcohol is shit but I can't seem to stop drinking the stuff, some people like it and can enjoy it responsibly but I don't know when to stop.
Weight gain, decrease in fitness, wasting money, not sticking to plans and goals and making bad decisions are just some of the consequences of my alcohol abuse.
I've tried quitting before but I always seem to fall back into old habits, I drank last night so would this be day 1 of no drinking or day 0?🤣 I'm going to post an update here once a week. I'll do a weigh in too. Might even post before and after pictures when I lose the weight.
I'm thinking instead of drinking I'll just make weed edibles instead so I just picked up a fat ounce to last me the month.
Anybody know the easiest edibles I can make? Or any you'd recommend? I don't even want to smoke anymore, I want to improve my health.
Currently I'm a muscular but fat fuck who's 5 foot 8 and 19 stone😭
Any comments are appreciated, whether or not they are helpful or abusive doesn't matter to me 🤣

Stop to smoke that shit in your car

Every day you don't drink is a step in the right direction. I managed to stop a couple months ago and you can to just don't give up. Keep trying 💪. Stay strong my friend. Your head and heart are in the right place....

Thankyou so much, I'm back to day four.. but feeling good and hopeful!

try try again and you will succeed

even after months of sobriety, if you have a bad night, it doesn't mean you're a lush again...just reset the clock and you'll eventually succeed

i'm at the end of the first week of my 21 day MJ tolerance break...i very much like the way i feel and have no plan to resume the daily habit afterwards, although i will certainly enjoy loosies with friends and family (occasionally, but no longer by myself)

ps -- if smoking MJ felt the same as the first time, i'd never quit, but tolerance is a bitch...in other words, it's a bad habit

Tysm brother! I remember those days when I was a teenager! Tolerance is a bitch indeed when it comes to MJ. Taking breaks every so often is a must unless you're a multi millionaire😅

Hey what helps getting to sleep when trying to quit drinking??? Don’t want to resort to weed or sleeping pills ??? Any advice???

I've been an alcoholic since I was 16,smoking cannabis since 12,and any other drug I have done,but if you get really nice hash,going it into your favourite yoghurt,it's healthy and does the job mate👍🏻
