I would always think, “oh I’ve been sober X amount of days, so that means I deserve a treat” lol

I indulged in some weed gummies for that exact reason, it was enjoyable but I feel guilty. And like that clean time i put together is null and void.

Marijuana hasn't ever really caused damage to my life so idk
 
marijuana can be really habit forming for some people if you don't want something like that in your life.

some people can partake in it infrequently, but it's always a daily thing for me... idk. would be kind of nice to not have any vices.... definitely healthier to use weed than most drugs though and most casual users can function in society.

i would say just cause you used some gummies your sober time isn't null and void like you said. that's still time with the other drugs leaving your body. i would say that's a positive adjustment... if you want to know the clarity of being sober, definitely don't use weed, but if your breaking what was an even more detrimental addiction, i wouldn't beat yourself up about it... i didn't read this whole thread, but maybe treat yourself to some gummies every now and then if life is torture for you until you can get on some type of schedule with a job or something where you are less prone to use. idk, maybe this advice doesn't fit your life. just a thought.... marijuana can definitely be habit forming, but unless you have sleep issues it's not really a physical thing.

I wouldn’t worry yourself with feeling guilty about some weed gummies. There’s no harm done with anything to do with marijuana. I spent so much time beating myself up over stuff like that, and for relapsing on harder stuff. Wish I didn’t. How you doing by the way?
 
Shit not a meth guy so know that -- grain of salt.

But Meth is a tough one --- really does a # on your dopamine. So combat that -- my mind goes straight to smoke pot to get through it, OH isn't legal though is it? Drive up to MI and just make sure to switch out of the dispo bag into a sandwhich bag and you always bought it in the state you are currently in.
Actually dont do that, that would be a felony. They could only charge you with possession worst case if you follow that advice ... but still 'dont' its umm bad.

You dont need a pot charge -- alcohol and meth are like the worst two choices damn! alcohol almost has got me so I feel ya there -- You ever experiment with psychedelics?

If not a good trip may actually alter your life perspective in a way you do not want to use meth or drink anymore. The key is to remember that feeling and trust it.

Sleep and exercise are always good. Sauna's. Vitamins........CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE as much as possible and don't get pinched trying to quit. (The latter sounds unlikely but you are likely to change patterns, meet new people -- dont trust them either they still ppl lol)
 
Anything can be "Habit Forming" -- literally like anything.

Exercise can be habit forming. I would almost argue that some people are "Addicted" to sobriety -- it is like they whole identity. "Im sober now" cool and what else is up. "God that is whats up!" -- Okay im gunna talk to someone else you just as bad as the "Hey man can you find me some meth" Nah dont do meth but whats up with you? "Trying to get some money together for a meth run" --- Okay i going to talk to someone else. lol.

That is my last piece of advice -- Dont be the "holier than thou" my whole identity is my sobriety guy. It just rings of bullshit (Does anyone disagree? I feel like noone says it but it is a silent majority)
 
I just had a thought, reach out to me or anyone you feel comfortable with, make arrangements with that BL member the possibility of DM them. I'm happy to be here for you if needed and I'm certain there are others here who feel the same.

When did you say you are graduating from rehab?

If you have access to a doctor ask him for naltrexone, it pretty much killed my cravings for meth within 30 minutes of taking my first pill (it did'nt stop me from relapsing when my dealer showed up on his own to get me to relapse). Even if you are'nt one of the lucky few who's cravings are fully eliminated by naltrexone, it should still make it easier and if you relapse it's gonna make meth feel idk how to describe it but it was just flat, i felt stimulated but the "happy" part was missing.
