perhaps it's inconsequential which particular substance is our issue. but in any case, if there are any recovering potheads out there who would like to be connected, here is a group for that.

It's too ironic; every time I was on here I was thinking, "Why the hell is there a Group called Weed, that's not cool."! I was assuming it had nothing to do with sobriety. Glad I looked, now I know better and am happy to find others who are recove...

Well hey hellopeople. Your lost in a haze? Make the choice, your addiciton doesnt control you (although it feels like it), choose NOT to partake, choose a more balanced outlook, choose happiness in its purest form, as it comes straight and not int...

DRAGGING ME DOWN

i wonder if my life
will always be like this
with weed dragging me down
and the world looking like
i can't make it
even though
i have the cushiest life i could imagine.

even the simplest things
seem like such a drag

my drive deflated.
my ego worn out.
my perspective warped by the haze
of green smoke.
low self-esteem
laziness
a pathetic outlook.
help.

the benefits of not smoking

joy
interest in my projects
healthy feeling in my chest and body
connectedness to the people i care about
motivation to do a good job in school
liberated from obsessive thinking
waking up wanting to start my day
getting to appreciate/maximize the whole month/year/life
feeling my feelings
being in touch
feeling grounded but not weighed down
filling my time with creative fulfilling activities
motivation to push my exercise routine

the costs of smoking

acting like friends with people i don't feel meaningfully connected to
losing the momentum towards doing my work well
needing people who don't have any obligation to me (needing them to get me weed)
spending whole evenings or half-days doing nothing
watching the months speed by without even appreciating this precious time (with littleoleme)
constant preoccupation with getting high
feeling down, tired, groggy, from a few hours after i smoke until the next day at least
losing the traction i have w… Continue

whew

and this morning, it is a relief that weed is difficult to procure.

cause i didn't get any yesterday. even though i tried.

and i just want to remember why that's good. and hold on to why that's good. to get clear on why that's good. because it is so difficult to *get that*, to remember that, to get present to those reasons that i have *not* to get stoned, when I *want* to get stoned. it's just hard to know which way's up, you know...

i'm not being very articulate, and its not surprising since… Continue

a deeper, quieter internal dialogue

i can't get stoned. i don't wanna get stoned. i wanna keep my life moving forward. i want to keep up this pace. life has been EXCELLENT! fun. FILLED WITH JOY. i wanna be IN MY LIFE. i wanna do life right. i want to hang tight. i want to hold tight to the traction. i don't want to lose the traction. i want to stay in my life. i want to be present with the love of my life. i want to stay connected to her. i want to enjoy her. i want to be open to her. i want to be WITH her.

i want to do good work… Continue
