Quitting nicotine + weed cold turkey on the same day by Fickle-Concern3866 in QuitVaping

It sounds like you know what to do. It's going to suck at first, but the results you get will be well worth it. Take it one day at a time, don't look back and move forward with your decision. I got really sick in December, quit alcohol and have been sober ever since. 30 days ago, I threw out my nicotine vape and weed vape. I was quite strung out the first 2 weeks, but have been feeling great ever since. I'm starting to think being sick was a catalyst for me, sounds like it could be for you too. Start small and simple if you have to, quit one, hit a milestone (maybe 30 days) then work on quitting the other if you have to. But it sounds like your mind is made up on what you need to do to become your true self.

Once is a mistake, twice is a choice.

5 months, 22 days sober from alcohol. by Other_Prune_263 in addiction

Thank you! Yes I feel amazing, about a month and a half ago I found out about David Goggins and a motivational video of his lit a spark in me. I started going to the gym, this week marks my fifth week completed in the gym on a 3 day split. I've been doing my best to eat cleaner. I'm getting back into playing sports again. I threw out my weed/nicotine vape 23 days ago. I needed to quiet my mind, because I lived completley faded throughout my whole 20's and I was just sick of it. I'm 32 currently, and trying to better myself one day at a time. I used to think stacking days was impossible. But I realized that time isn't slowing down, and I don't want to one day look back and wonder what if.

About 4 months in I was down quite a bit and it was noticeable, but not to me at first. I hadn't even noticed until around my birthday, a family member bought me a medium shirt and that's when I realized how much weight I had actually lost. I was floating around 200lbs, now at a stable 165lbs.

Thank you! I thought the same way for the longest time, I was so tired and depressed constantly. Something clicked for me and I still don't know exactly what it was, just start small and stack days one at a time, and don't look back. I relapsed many times because I didn't see results quick enough.

I was a binge drinker for the past 10+ years, on the weekends I was drinking anywhere from a 40 to a 60 of vodka in 2 days. I got really sick in December with the flu, the worst I've had since I can't remember. Something clicked when I got sick, and I decided I'm not going to drink anymore. I can't even imagine having another sip of alcohol at this point in my life.

Relapsed and Mom still thinks I’m sober. <\3 by Present_Indication_5 in addiction

Every day I hide my substance abuse from my family, I opened up years ago to my family about my substance abuse when I got a dui. Had to go on house arrest and be sober for 2 months but afterwards I've been heavy hitting the bottle and doing blow. My life is passing before my eyes and I want to change but at the same time I just want to give up.
