10 Years Clean and Sober

Celebrate! Have a root beer float! :smiley:

In our metro area, there is a vape shop called… and I kid you not… “YOU SUCK VAPES.” I don’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 “NICE” RACOON CITY and Congrates. A decade clean and sober is an accomplishment that a good chunk of people never make to. I’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 you’re not alone on this platform.

Sometimes I wonder if I’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 — But this kind of Addiction doesn’t hurt anybody else or yourself for that matter —- You might not have much money in the end though :smiley:

Congratulations

Raccoon, very nice accomplishment!

What is “old school vaping”?

I’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 !!

——So a minor “congrats” to me. —-

we disagree.
it is a MAJOR congrats to you.

RC, I have the same question about vapes… 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 years…. that is indeed an accomplishment!! Congratulations & thanks for sharing your story my friend.
Your advice is stellar also. :white_check_mark:

Amen to both statements… especially the money one. :smiley: :smiley:

raccoon city :+1:
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:

Friends — Hah — They’re highly over rated in the Partying scene

Congrats!

Have you thought of entering the priesthood?

No one has been "inspired" to start a debate on vaping so I think your post is okay.

I don't consider mental health meds as even remotely brainwashing, and I've been taking them since 1995, so even when I consumed alcohol and marijuana.

I understand where you're coming from as there is a massive amount of stigma surrounding mental health medication and treatment.

(I used to be grossly misinformed on the topic as well.

Don't worry--most people that are misinformed are completely unaware of their situation.)

Well, "old school" and "new school" are terms that I made up.

Old school vaping of marijuana is when you only vape marijuana, and it's one of the safest ways to consume marijuana.

New school vaping is when you vape marijuana and a bunch of other things that are potentially very dangerous.

New school vaping of marijuana is very similar to the vaping of nicotine.
