Sorry to hear… I have conflicting feelings about weed, based on my personal experiences. Thanks for reading, Robert.

Actually I never did drugs. Not judging: I only go by the sort of damage I see done on people as I walk downtown etc. Sometimes, like a lot of people, I suppose, I have crazy dreams, don't know where they're coming from. Still, I am so glad don't have such dependancy. PS: I used to drink a lot, still consider that I am an alcoholic but I haven't had a drop in decades. Regards, Robert.

I can understand that based on your observations, although I by no means classify weed quite the same as other more addictive forms of drugs.
One of the main reasons I’ve had a hard time quitting weed in the past is specifically due to PTSD nightmares. Weed just shuts that shit right down! I’m several weeks weed-free atm, and since changing my medications I am also sleeping more peacefully. I’ve been psychologically dependent on weed for pretty much a decade, but I’m feeling hopeful that this may be my ‘final quit.’
I’m glad to hear that you’ve been sober for so long, that is no easy feat. I know the same is true for me as well: I will be in ‘recovery’ for the all my life and will always battle my addictions, no matter how much time passes between relapses. Promised myself a long time ago that I will never give up though.
