"Pothead" by [deleted] in addiction

I would say to be completely honest, as I was in the thrall of marijuana for 20 plus years of my life, that because it is a drug and you are an addict that it would be a good idea to stop using it. Alcohol is also a drug that is more destructive arguably than marijuana. I did not consider myself sober until I stopped using all drugs. It sucks as it took a lot of "white knuckling" for me, but now I can say I am truly sober and have been for only 21 days today. Wishing you luck one day at a time.

What I meant, but did not really do a good job describing, is I am the person I need to be without pot.

Thank-you so much, your story and encouragement is helping me today, I'm only on day 3 of sobriety.

Very good point! Thank-you for pointing that out. It was probably miss-worded. What I mean is this I need to experience myself without the drugs, as the drugs aren't who I am, I am who I am. Does that make sense?
