I stopped alcohol(not completely) thc and vaping. I drank daily in 2018 and I started drinking less through 2020. I got it down to once a week or less. I was drinking 100proof vodka. I started having to drink so much id either blackout or get angry. The whole reason I was drinking was to feel better. I now know that was a mistake. But that defeated the purpose so at that point I was ready to quit anyway and thankfully that was easy. I drink beer occasionally and I feel buzzed but nothing else.t… read more
Yes. Breaking long habits takes a day by day, moment by moment effort. I'm reading a book called "Atomic Habits" by James Clear which is helping in my understanding to abandon bad habits and reinforce or create good habits each day, 1% at a time. You should get it and read it. It also has a workbook by Jimmy Spears. You didn't get where you are in a day so moving away from it will not take a day either.
The 70s 80s were the worst with drugs alcohol shooting snorting green chartreuse knock ya out with just couple shots mag. Lots money spent. Had good jobs. Weekend warrior.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member it seems like smoking at a young age was pretty common back in the day
I'm not saying your old but my family members started smoking at a very young age. I started at 15 and smoked till I was 19 I think it was because it waa something i wasnt supposed to do. I was only smoking two cigarettes a day so it waa pretry easy for me to quit. Have you asked your doctor for something to ease cravings? I imagine you have. I'm stuck nicotine pouches. Ugh I wish i never used those. Thank u for ur reply
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I know what you mean about vodka but mine was only Friday - Sunday and maybe a little through the week now I really can’t do shots or really drink it at all and I think it’s because of all meds. Now my addiction that has been with me since I started at 10 yo and grabbed me and holds me tight now is cigarettes, I can’t quit and I have tried many and would get down to 5-6 a day but then start back smoking more than I had before and even my, he has never smoked, would the amount. I am old and COPD SS pays for lung X-rays every year now to see if I have cancer but so far it is emphysema and my dad did have lung cancer also father in law but I still can’t quit.
I understand addictions very well and feel for anyone that one of any kind
Hugs and sunshine coming your way
