and it feels soooo good:) Thank you to those on here who responded to my posts this past year. I am also 2 years sober (as of May 18th) so it is through the Grace of God and working the 12 steps in my life one day at a time that I am living clean and loving it. Do I miss being high? At times to be honest! I think more than being drunk when the thought does cross my mind. But that is the key! Recognzing that they are just thoughts!!!
To the new comers please hang in there. Don't smoke for today and continue to seek outside help. Even if it's professional. I did. I had a wonderful therapist who played a big part in my recovery.
This board is a God send. Bless you all.
Excellent news, pql! Congrats =)
SUPER, SUPER, BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU PQL ON YOUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
Hi Everyone, I have posted her for years and have been back and forth, but I am happy to say that I am straight since November and quite happy about it. I'm a 30 year smoker, and have been off and on Many times, with period of straightness for over one year, only to relapse completely and immediately in breakfast bowls. Nice to know you folks are here.
Welcome back hardcharger and congratulations on your recovery. Quitting pot is not an easy thing although many may think otherwise. I will be celebrating my 18th month free of marijuana tomorrow June 30th. I've never been so happy since I quit smoking it.
Hope to see you here again.
Hope to see you here again.

How are you doing?
How are you doing?
thanks for asking Fluer...this past week I've been a bit squirrely. Mainly around my husband who still smokes weed. He has not had a drink in about 5 months since he realized that he may have a problem controlling it. Instead he has taken up running. Which is good. He's lost a lot of weight and is getting fitter...although I'm sure the marajuana smoke in his lungs can't be to good while he trains for his 5K runs. He is heading home to the UK in a few weeks and I'm worried (yes, I know in fear) of what he will be like when he comes home. I know he will drink. Most of his friends are alkies and big drug users. The other night he failed to mention to me that he stopped at a bar with his boss but didnt' drink he said. I saw the bar bill online. This brought back what it was like living with him 5 months ago when he would lie about his drinking and driving. "I didnt' tell you because i knew you would get crazy about it". This what he used to tell me before.
We've been married for 10 years and i love him dearly but I fear that if he goes back to drinking that I won't be able to stay with him. Life has been better with him not drinking. All that worry and anxiety went away...only come back again as his trip looms closer.
Anway, thanks for cheching in. I know I need to get in some AlAnon meetings as well as my AA meetings. My sponsor is on vacation so posting here is a big help:)

Hi Pql,
I'm sorry to hear how you are feeling. It is not pleasant to live in that kind of fear but try not to worry about your husband and his drinking situation. There is really no point in worrying right now about what he might do when he's on vacation or what it might be like when he returns home. Live one day at a time.
I went to Al-Anon for 12 years and I had a sponsor. Going to Al-Anon was the best thing I ever did. To this day, what I've learned in Al-Anon still helps me cope with life. My hubby also smokes weed although very, very rarely around me. I wished he would quit but I know he won't so I don't even talk to him about it anymore. To each our own.
Be good to youself.
Have a beautiful day.
