Jimbo,

Most of the illegal drugs come from plants. Heroin, Cocaine, etc..

Please do not use the plant logic.

You are on the right track about asking God for help. I agree that he is the one that can help and does help a lot of people stop who need to. Not everyone who smokes pot has a problem with it. I am trying to protect and help the ones that do. If it becomes legal it will make it worse for the addicts. I am an addict and will die trying to help other addicts.

• Hey, did you know that Heroin was also legal? In the fact, The Bayer Company started producing it to help people. The first clinical results were absolutely amazing. Of course we all know how nice that turned out. It seems these “Medical Marijuana” doctors have not been prescribing the drug for very long. I wonder how things are going to turn out?

  Here is a good link for you guys to visit:

  Oh, I also know that my website has been targeted by Pro-Marijuana sites. There are a lot of people who see things in a different light and I have a feeling they might start visiting this website. I’ve also been reading some really funny postings from some of you guys. There was a kid that said his grades had improved after he started smoking pot. That is really amazing, because me and my friends were delivering pizzas during our pot smoking days. I can’t believe that we weren’t Doctors or Lawyers. I guess the more you smoke the smarter you get??

• Steve,

  Your 24/7 friends and family posting in an earlier part of the blog confirmed that you have a problem. Why are your friends and family giving you such a hard time about smoking pot? Why would the people who care about you give you such a hard time???

  As I continue to read through all of these postings I can see that not only are people in denial, but they are very angry. Finally someone has provided a place where all the practicing addicts can tell each other how terrible “The people who want to help us” really are.

  This is the insanity of alcohol and drug addiction: You do the same thing over and over always expecting different results.

  This time I will only smoke pot on the weekends instead of everyday. This time I will only smoke pot after work. This time I will only smoke pot every other day. This time I’m going to quit after I finish this bag.

  It never works does it?? If you fall into this category there is a better life and it all starts by asking for help. AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). Find a meeting near you and hang out with some people that can help.

• Kris, It’s nice to meet you! I hope that my story can help you and others. It’s going to take me a while to finish writing it. Honestly, staying sober and recovery is a life-long process, so I’m not sure I will ever finish.

  CommonSense,

  The difference between cigarettes and street drugs is that they don’t get you high. For different mental disorders alcoholics/addicts may find themselves having to take an addictive substance. The addictive substance if taken properly (the person does not get high or feel anything from it) seem to be okay “for some” people.

  K-Stigs,

  Listen my story of recovery that you are reading is from 13 years ago. I got sober on January 4, 1996. I quit smoking cigarettes a couple of years later in April of 1998. So, I have not had a cigarette in over 10 years. Please just remember that I’ve only written the first part of my recovery story. It is a real story. For the people who do not believe me, I suggest you look up the names of the doctors that I’ve mentioned as well as the treatment center I went to. As for others who are complaining about my writing style, keep in mind that I’m not an English teacher.

  Shelly,

  You are not a recovering alcoholic if you are smoking pot. In AA we call that “Marijuana Maintenance” and it is not accepted within the AA community. The next time you go to an AA meeting tell everyone that you’re smoking pot now and see what they have to say. Give your sponsor a call (I doubt you have one) and tell him or her your new way of dealing with your addiction.

• Drug Rehab – Part 6
  I’ve only begun to tell my story. I quit smoking cigarettes 10 years ago. Try not to make too many assumptions. You need some help if you having been smoking pot everyday for a long period of time. You can lie to yourself all you want.

  Sophie,

  I don’t have time to comment on all of the postings. I’m just telling my story. It’s as simple as that. If someone can relate to what happened to me, then it might help him/her. You have no idea what I’m up against. When I approached other people in rehab and told them that I had tried to quit on my own. Their responses were like: “Are you serious? Why?”. This is what this website and I am up against.

  But, I’ll just keep writing. I hope everyone keeps coming back. In AA we have speaker meetings where someone gets up and tells what it was like then and what it’s like now. Here is an example someone famous doing just that:
