Well, for me marijuana addictiin is real. It has a plan for me even as i write this. A ridiculous plan, but a plan nonetheless. I came to this group because if the central idea of AA works for alcohol, it should work for weed too. One addict helping another stay clean. This group isnt very active so part of my 12 step work will be to check in often in case someone shows up here looking for support.

Thank you for keeping this group going!

My partner has taken up smoking again in the last 6 months, and is now at a point where he smokes every evening, and I hate it...

I too will keeping checking in on this group as I'm hoping to learn more about this as an addiction

I'm just past 90 days. Been about the 6th go around in the last 20 years for me. Addiction takes over one's mind. It is a mental disease. Addicts get disconnected from reality when it comes to their drug of choice. We think we can do it again and this time it will be different. We forget about the last time or only remember the fun parts.

The first step of most twelve step programs state that an addiction has taken over their lives and has made life unmanageable. If it keeps him from taking care of the basics, gets him in trouble, causes him to do things he wouldn't do sober, or put it ahead of things he finds important, that would count as unmanageable. The trouble is you won't be able to get him to see that. He has to see it himself.

You're absolutely right, the want to make changes has got to come from him. I'll do what I can to support and encourage him, but all I can really do it hope that it doesn't go from bad to worse.

Good luck to you on your path, and congratulations on your 90+ days!

Do yourself a favor and check in when the time counts...people actually come to these forums to read useful info on people struggling...not to read about somebody posting checkins every 10 minutes because they fell into the NA/MA/AA trap...

seriously man there is life outside of all that A stuff out there....wake up man and start posting useful info.

I'll make you a deal JC...you take off all the pointless one liner posts that have nothing to do with Weed addiction and I'll take off everything I've said negatively about you before off as well. Then we can start fresh and start with what matters most....recovery from Marijuana...not alcohol, not crack or heroine, or pills etc.....one thing that pisses me off the most when I did go to MA meetings were all the NA and AA people in it talking about their hard drug use and drinking.....I'd leave having a sick feeling in my stomach because weed was always my drug and nothing else...keep it naturally fucked up lol you know...kidding...

seriously lets start fresh...sorry to be such a mean person before but just seeing all that random stuff that had nothing to do with weed just made me upset and I felt like I wasted my time having to scroll down to the evil weed posts.

I remember being in recovery over one shroom incident I had...everyone else was na or aa and I was like I'm MA and they just looked at me like wtf are you talking about...that's not even a bad drug....little did they know. that was random sorry

do we have a deal? we can keep these forums fresh with our struggle off of weed and not go into wild thoughts about how we woke up and had breakfast etc.
