Much kudos to you for tackling this.

It is going to be difficult for you. I do hope you can avoid having the SI escalate while you give up weed. Both things should be at most a temporary coping mechanism. It's scary to think of doing without them, but you sound like you have the motivation and the support around you.
It's going to be a difficult time. It's good you can come here and talk about it. Be proud of yourself for this.
Love Laura

Thanks for posting and good luck for the time ahead. I've just started to smoke weed as a replacement for s/i and also i've started to drink.!? I'm scared doing this but somehow i can't control it? I needed to read or hear from someone the other end. I keep telling myself the dangers etc. but am getting swept away. please post again to let us know how it's going and get support. I'm wishing you strength and care and thinking of you. I'll keep reminding myself of your struggle when i'm tempted..

i really didnt work out but im gonna try again, i havent smoked today, so thats a good start.
to Zani:
I think its a bad idea to smoke and drink instead of si?, you can get addicted to theese things, and that is bad, imo, i think you need to see someone prof, i dont know if you are , you havent said.
another thing, if you have any questions or just wanna talk, feel free to pm me or add me to messenger, im not gonna be on messenger till around tuesday lates, but feel free to contact me if you want something, ok?, i hope that things turn out good for you.
*gentle hugs*

Good on you. For trying again not letting it defeat you, and giving yourself credit for what you've managed today.

Hey well done, if at first you don't succeed try and try again! I haven't had a drink for 3 days or smoked weed for 4 days. It's all cos i bumped into a friend i worked with 9 years ago. I've seen her in the street a couple of times over the years but just nodded etc. Well on thursday we stopped and talked. She told me she was 2yrs into recovery from drink and drugs and was REALLY pasionate about an alcoholics support group she went to. I phoned up the group and have been to 3 meetings in 4 days. It has helped SO much. The great thing is everyone feels or has felt the same as me and they work on the soul and person not just the coping mechanism. Good luck. Take one day at a time. If you can resist the 1st drink or smoke the rest aren't a problem. Today i will not drink, i will be ok and i will make it.
