REMINDER: kick off is tonight at midnight so if you aren't doing dry january but are doing dryfeb get your drinking in now!!! remember that the rules only aplpy to consumption during this period so you may be able to sneak in some last minute alcoholism. you have 7.75-12.25 hours remaining (dryfeb takes place in NST-PST timezones obviously)

good luck to everyone :cheers::guinness:

Did a dry Jan and am gunning for a dry Feb and March. Body composition is already changing as my drink of choice is high ABV IPA.

Sleep has improved dramatically as has my skin.

A couple tokes from the weed bowl and an NA beer seem to be scratching the itch on Friday afternoon for the time being.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
I don't do gimmick stuff like this, if I want to stop I just stop regardless of the month. However, I did decide recently to stop drinking during the work week. Honestly it wasn't as hard as I expected, even for someone who has been drinking beer pretty much every day for over decade. I lowered usage for a couple weeks then stopped.

I'm going through some life transitions, trying to change careers and decided that it's something that needed to happen. Although I'll be honest, I expected a bit more improvement in terms of my overall well being and how I feel. But I'll stick with it.

Also, I have a little bit of extra weight in the midsection and I'm expecting to lose about ten pounds from this, considering that my intake of beer was over a thousand calories a day generally. Definitely not fat but I could stand to lose a few.

Mostly sober 2023 goon checking in :

I've had 2 weed gummies (5 mg each) in the last 30 days. I gave up drinking 4 years ago but my weed consumption grew to about 20-30 a week for all of 2022. I had weed 4-5 days a week most weeks which truly hosed me up sleep wise. Sleep quality was hot garbage. I lost interest in so many things, it was a problem.

After 4 weeks , I can't believe how much better my quality of life is. The first week of abstinence was awful : hot/cold spells, nausea, exhaustion and insomnia : like 4-5 hours of broken sleep a night. Oh and anger! gently caress!

By week 2 the majority of the worst symptoms were on the decline but it still sucked. By week 3-4, the worst wd symptoms were mostly gone with truly restful sleep returning. I was finally starting to normalize.

And the dreams, Jesus Christ the DREAMS! Some nights it's like watching a movie or hearing a symphony. I dream just about every night now, sometimes it's disturbing but it's better than the nothing when I was going to bed high all the time.

Not only sleep but EVERYTHING is far more enjoyable now. Aside from being more outgoing and friendly, I can't believe how much calmer I feel. My god, I wake up energized and happy! I still feel like poo poo sometimes ... but that's ok given everything else.

Weed goons : if smoke more days than not, give yourself a tolerance break! Trust me, it will suck rear end but once you get on the other side you'll marvel at how much better things are ..... including the occasional indulgence.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

yeah man. it was years ago that i stopped smoking regularly but i remember the dreams were crazy. sleep definitely improves coming off of substances, even if you didn't use much or whatever. sometimes it takes a while but it definitely improves. and big time agreed about enthusiasm for life, hobbies, socializing etc. at first weed can improve that stuff but if you fall into a habitual hole with it, it definitely kills any motivation you may have had to improve yourself. glad to see you bettering yourself bro

Weed turned my brain to complete mush for years. My short term memory was so bad that I'd forget what I was saying as I was saying it. Also I turned into a fat piece of poo poo since I'd eat probably 5000 calories a day between massive meals and munchies snacking. I quit smoking regularly about 2.5 years ago and the few times I've tried it since, didn't even enjoy. Sleep feels amazing now and I still have constant crazy dreams from micro-dreams that are a few seconds (these usually happen when I'm falling asleep or coming out of sleep cycle before waking up) to full blown long dreams. Lost the weight as well and workout 4 days a week now.
