It's alright about what you said a few weeks ago, I was pretty obnoxious there for a little bit, not really sure what got into me for those couple of days or however long it was, and my response was pretty bad too.
Also, for what it's worth, I've decided to try cutting out alcohol and increasing marijuana to compensate, which I know is not ideal or the best solution but it has it's advantages to the situation I'm in now, which follows:
*Well this one's pretty obvious, but I'll list it anyway, marijuana is MUCH less harmful to the body that alcohol. Like extremely. Drink alcohol the way I've been for years and you'll have a shot liver. Smoke marijuana the way I have been for years and you'll have a raspy voice. (also, lung cancer from pot is far less likely than what most people commonly believe.)
*Being under the influence of pot is ALOT easier to conceal and less "impairing" than alcohol.
*Increasing the pot after cutting out the alcohol will make the cutting out of the alcohol itself easier and reduce withdrawals.
*Won't cause stomach problems like the alcohol is and will help with nausea.
*Plus (and this is a big one) quitting alcohol is pretty hard, and not only does pot make it easier, but once I'm used to being off the alcohol, if I decide to quit the pot as well going off pot is waaay easier than going off alcohol, from what I'm given to understand anyway.
I haven't drank any today (it's 3:45 PM where I live) but I've smoked more weed than on a normal day, and actually I feel pretty great. It's nice to not have a headache, not feel like I have the flu, and not have an upset stomach.
Thanks for being forgiving :)
And I agree between the two, I'd rather have you use more pot than alcohol. Funny how one is legal and one is not, when really it should be reversed based on safety. Your points are valid and I believe all true. But I still encourage you to get outside help. Behavioral health cannot and will not report illegal drug usage to police. You can get help without being judged. Your answer may help in the short term, but I hope you will seek long-term help as well. In any case, good luck! Glad you feel better today, and hang in there!
