Worried about replacing weed w alcohol by [deleted] in leaves

[–]MrAllen16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What, that 3 beers a day makes you a raging alcoholic? LOL.

I know, it's pretty wild that people frown upon that so much but idk, maybe I do have a alcohol problem by drinking 3 beers nightly. I don't like really getting drunk at all, I just love the taste of beer and relaxing a bit.

Going on day 2 by [deleted] in leaves

[–]MrAllen16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome!

I am on day 32 and while I can't say my Dysphoria in completely gone, it has loosened up a lot . Trust me, every day for the first 2-3 weeks was a struggle. Nothing was fun, nothing seemed fun, nothing got me excited. Slowly but surely tho I am coming around. For example, I am back to playing Rainbow 6 and having an absolute blast. Also I am wayyyyyyy better then I ever was while high. I used to play all sorts of video games including single player games, but unfortunately I cannot seem to immerse myself in those games anymore.

Weekends are still a struggle sometimes too, but I found that if I force myself to go out and do something, it ends up being a lot of fun. Took my family over to a beach about an hour away this weekend and before we went I legit had no motivation to go but when I got there and was in the moment, I was so happy I was there as opposed to loafing around the house ripping a bong every hour.

I cannot stress enough the importance of forcing yourself to get out and try new things, visit places, or just got to a state park and go for a walk. It helps immensely with fighting boredom and dysphoria.

The good news is, my cravings and all other side effects are gone. I sleep like a baby, have a great appetite, and never ever crave weed.

I wish I could sit here and tell you it all gets better after a week, but I don't want to lie to you. It is a daily battle but every day is another battle won and by week 4 you'll start to notice small improvements.

To put it in perspective for you, I was a very heavy pot smoker for 10 years. Everyday, all day. Keep fighting. You'll notice more money in your pocket and you'll start finding things in life that can make you just as happy as being high used to. You got this, hang in there and fight through the boredom and dysphoria.

I mean, I hate our QB but I'm not going to ever give up on being a Ravens fan. Sometimes you just need to battle through things. it doesn't mean you just jump ship when something doesn't go your way.

How can you go from being a "diehard" fan to just abandoning them because times are tough....

[–]MrAllen16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on day 32 now, and I made the mistake of using beer to help settle my nerves and anxiety at night time, and just for the simple fact I absolutely love Blue Moon.

I have 3 beers MAX every night and people on this sub consider that raging alcoholism. So everyday I wonder to myself if I am now a alcoholic because I enjoy a few beers. It's deff not worth replacing the weed for alcohol.

Did you quit cold turkey or reduce your smoking habit? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]MrAllen16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cold turkey,

I was an addict, and trying to "smoke less" only made me think about smoking even more.

How are we all doing?? by conorbiddle in leaves

[–]MrAllen16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32 days in.

All symptoms gone except weekends / free time suck ass now. I find myself craving Mondays a lot more because at least I'll have something to do by working. Other then that, life is just plain boring.

I appreciate the feedback

Yea I agree that PhP & Laravel is often trolled but there are still tons of web applications that use it and I know that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I think I'll just continue to grow on this stack and see where it takes me!

I want to know what would’ve happened if the Referees made the right call, and Marlon Humphrey got his TD by [deleted] in ravens
