10 Years Clean and Sober

Congratulations RC. Shaking a habit is a big deal!

I hope this thread doesn't turn into a vaping debate.

BLF had one of those recently, and it didn't turn out well.

...

By the way, I found out that if I do a Google search for

marijuana vaporization

that I get some relevant hits, so it's not impossible to learn about old school vaping like I originally thought.

Good for you, RC! :+1:

Being clean for almost 27 yrs ā€”- I was one of the worse type ā€”- I made plenty moneyā€” Drank / Smoked / Snorted anything I could get my hands onā€” That Glass Pipe got a hold of me so bad I had to change or Elseā€”ā€” My only advise I give people is to not convince yourself you can be a rational user ā€”- Just donā€™t Drink ā€” Just donā€™t Smoke ā€” Go buy stuff you donā€™t need LOL ā€”- Lights

Here is to another 10 clean and healthy yeaars! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :confounded: oops.

Celebrate! Have a root beer float! :smiley:

In our metro area, there is a vape shop calledā€¦ and I kid you notā€¦ ā€œYOU SUCK VAPES.ā€ I donā€™t know how they stay in business. :stuck_out_tongue:

I do like root beer when I'm avoiding caffeine.

(Otherwise I prefer Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew.)

Deluminator Addict,

FIRST I wanna say ā€œNICEā€ RACOON CITY and Congrates. A decade clean and sober is an accomplishment that a good chunk of people never make to. Iā€™m definitely glad that you found yourself before you completely lost yourself!

Being an NA member myself. I can truly appreciate you sharing this part of yourself. And in no way trying to steal your thunder! I just wanted to identify that youā€™re not alone on this platform.

Sometimes I wonder if Iā€™ve traded one obsession for another with flashlights.

Sorry, I shouldn't have done that on your thread. I was in a mood this morning. Want me to delete/edit? I have no problem doing it.

congrats again!

Yes maybe ā€” But this kind of Addiction doesnā€™t hurt anybody else or yourself for that matter ā€”- You might not have much money in the end though :smiley:

Congratulations

Raccoon, very nice accomplishment!

What is ā€œold school vapingā€?

Iā€™ve been clean and sober for 18 years. I was recently in your area at the http://www.fourtwentybank.com/ great lounge.
Can I consider myself clean and sober since Cannabis is legal in Cali? :smiley:

Congrats RC !!

ā€”ā€”So a minor ā€œcongratsā€ to me. ā€”-

we disagree.
it is a MAJOR congrats to you.

RC, I have the same question about vapesā€¦ what is the difference between old and new school? I have never felt the need for anything more than papers and a zippo for the 4 or 5 times a year I partake. I guess, at least I mostly know what is in it that way.

Hello RC,

I am glad that you were able to stop in time on your own, before you placed your self beyond any and all human aid. When that happens, there is a solution, but it involves taking action to get connected to a power greater than ourselves that will solve the problem of lack of willpower.

27 yearsā€¦. that is indeed an accomplishment!! Congratulations & thanks for sharing your story my friend.
Your advice is stellar also. :white_check_mark:

Amen to both statementsā€¦ especially the money one. :smiley: :smiley:

You are doing the right thing, keep your friends close, but understand who is a real friend. :wink:
A real friend will never expect you to follow them into using any drug or doing anything illegal. :wink:
