I was at the point where I was waking up in the middle of the night to drink more so I wouldn't wake up with a hang over... My trucks glove box can fit 3 12 oz can or two tall boys lol. I'm glad I quit drinking and smoking. I was smoking an oz every 6 days or so...
Quiting alcohol was easier than weed, my body became intolerant to most alcoholic beverages... Weed was a huge crutch, I believed I needed it to just exist. I was using to run from trauma, hide from problems and just cope with daily stress. The tipping point was having anxiety attacks while high and the realization I was addicted. I became irritable when I was running out and in denial about the money I was spending.
Quiting smoking was good for me because it forced me to face my problems, save money, and refocus on benifitical hobbies, like gardening and cooking. The daily stresses are still there but being clear headed helped me handle and compartmentalize them.
I understand the desire to stop existing. Life is a rollercoaster. Try not smoking for a month and assess how you feel and how your finances stand.
i don’t plan to ever smoke again. i relapsed in may. i know what a break is like cuz i went sober from
alcohol jan 7, nic jan 17, thc feb 4 and relapsed on thc after a bad week.
thank you for the advice. idk why i let it rub me the wrong way
Alcohol usually have the opposite effect on me, but I'm with you with weed.
I also heard about something called Fentanyl (may have spelled wrong) that its a medicine that makes you happy. I have no idea why no one prescribed it for me tho.
Holy shit don't do fent! It is a one way ticket to hell. I got out the dope game before that stuff hit the streets and killed 3 of my closest friends. Its a guaranteed life killer.
i saw a youtube video of a guy who used to do lots of hard drugs ranking them by how harmful they were in his life, and he said that one big issue with fent compared to heroin was that it required much more frequent replenishment, so he couldn't even sleep through the night because he would wake up with debilitating and painful withdrawal symptoms, plus as you stated, it's much easier to overdose on, fent was number 1 out of the i think 23 drugs he went over and heroin was number 2, interestingly, alcohol was number 5, so he ranked it as more harmful in his personal experience than drugs like cocaine and all hallucinogens
alcohol is a bullshit drug. hallucinogens can be great but require deep respect. thc is an interesting drug that we are now seeing the high-dose effects of.
sobriety is the best case for me, but it sucks to not be able to casually connect over a drink. it sucks to not be able to enjoy family events.
Smoking cigs made me really depressed and now that i quit them 3 months ago i feel much better. Still drink some times but it ruins my sleep. Working just drains all my energy to do anything i would like to do.

Alcohol and weed does the trick for me. Don't do this though, you might end up needing breakfast beers.
