Sorry you didn't sleep well. Hopefully you've finally conked out. I'm enjoying my morning coffee right now. I'll not drink with you today!
I'm happily back at my hobbies, but now that you mention it, time has seemed to go by slower now!
Yeah, I never want to experience withdraw again, that was terrifying.
Back at ya! Those fist couple of days can be the roughest. Stay strong friend!
Now I just have to keep going! Thanks for the support here.
So I messed up on Saturday July 29th and kept drinking most of that week. Friday night Aug 4th was my drink now.
Oh, interesting. I have to claim ignorance on the finer points of the different deltas and laws and what not. Last I thought I had heard about delta-8 (never heard of delta-10) was that what you can buy in most shops in states where it's not all officially legal could be dodgy synthetic stuff?
I'm not sure I'm up for a pound of it across state lines, but maybe I'll get there at some point. Thanks! I'll definitely try dry herb next time.
Yeah, I got some live resin cartridges that work pretty well. I'm just learning about all the different products. I just wonder if dabbing or herb vape will have the very noticeable odor/smell that I need to avoid to stay under the radar.
As someone very new to all this, how is this consumed?
I'm a freshly minted pot-head in my mid 40's! I've had alcohol issues most of my life. Last time I visited a legal state I decided I'd get some goodies and try them out to see if maybe I could substitute for alcohol. I'm finding it very helpful! What I like the most is that it doesn't fuck with my sleep like alcohol does and I don't feel like garbage in the morning. Unfortunately, I can't smoke it properly due to the smell, but I'm really enjoying edibles and vaping. Anyway, just wanted to say hi!
What's funny is how excited Elo was about it, like it was this huge contribution to the site.
Thank you all for your kind words! Now I just need to make it through a Friday without drinking.
I've been drinking quite a bit since I was 21. I'm now in my mid 40's and COVID really pushed me over the edge - lots of day drinking. I've tried to stop drinking a number of times now, but the most I usually ever made it was a couple days or at most a week. I got to the point where I think I was getting on the edge of DT's when I tried to stop sometimes. I made it a few weeks (not consecutively) this summer. I slipped the week before last and was drinking quite a bit from about 10AM/2PM until I passed out later in the evenings. On Monday (July 24) I thought I'd try to stop again. I quit drinking sometime in the early afternoon. I wasn't feeling too bad when I went to bed, but then I started to feel the dread/doom creeping over me. I spent the night not being able to sleep and feeling like I was going to die until about 2AM when I felt I had to break into my "emergency stash" I had gotten in case this were to happen. I drank 3/4 of bottle of wine by 4AM Tuesday morning and felt I'd see what would happen. I was able to fall asleep for a few hours. I woke up later that morning and worked, did my normal routine for Tuesday. That night I had the same experience, but it wasn't quite as bad. I couldn't sleep and still felt the impending doom, but I managed not to drink any. I held strong on Wednesday, and was actually able to get a good night's sleep (thank goodness!). Now it's Thursday. I was feeling pretty good which of course my brain was telling "just a few drinks tonight won't hurt anything". I was able to ward it off though and I'm looking forward to another good night of sleep tonight! Stay strong friends!
I haven't yet decided if I'm going to go watch it or not. My parents went to it on a whim and said it was terrible. lol Although, I don't think they'd like any Wes Anderson movie.
Back in my day we always pee'd with our urethra on fire after we walked to school and back uphill both ways - and we liked it!
It's not hard. You can create one!
