I wanna stop drinking. Smoking pot a healthy alternative?

No, you will just relapse and each relapse gets worse.

Get sober or don't. You are not escaping anything but rather digging yourself a chemical hole.

Of course, it has zero calories and is gluten free.

I actually tend to work out a lot more when I'm stoned, so if weight loss is your goal, try getting baked and lifting weights.

Chemicals? All natural, bro.

YES and NO

I quit drinking thanks to cannabis
after a year I thought I could have a beer
that ended up
as me a even worse alcoholic
don't know where I read it
but
its true
if you quit drinking
and start again its even worse
a few months ago I started smoking again
no Booz
and now I go every few days or so with just a 1 hitter
not telling you what to do
but
if your gunna be addicted like I am
at least
go for the cannabis
alcohol is no good

You have to quit drinking my friend. You'll lose weight and you won't destroy your liver anymore than you have.

Weed is legal here and I smoke a little. I like to take a couple of hits and then workout. I'm 47 and got back into shape this past year by dieting and exercise. The weed really helps me get into my "workout zone." Rock music blaring and all that.

Skip breakfast and eat twice a day. There's all sorts of videos on youtube about it. Search "intermittent fasting." No sugar either, cut that poison out now. I use diet tea mix when I want something sweet.

Then start body weight exercising. That's squats, leg lifts, sit ups and push ups. There's all sorts of helpful videos on that too.

It's embarrassing what's happened to us in America with the 3 meals a day bullshit. I'm not trying to brag but I feel like I'm in my 20's again.

Good luck.

Clean >>>>> weed >>> booze

Good luck to you. Lean on others, Jesus to help out, bro

I feel you. Same story but I never go to the gym high or drunk with what I do :p

I cut back on my legal weed with edibles. Huge diff.

Been off for three weeks and clear mind again.

Damn, I’m not an alcoholic.

I know healthy eating and what to do with diet.

It’s just after work I like to mix up a few Manhattans before dinner to try and forget my meaningless life.

I was just wandering If pot is a cool alternative to getting buzzed from alcohol.

You are so full of AA propaganda and lies. [link to www.orange-papers.info (secure)] Each relaps is not worse.


Many people practice a lot until they got a handle agian on their drinking problems. Op however never sad he was an alcoholic. Just that he drank a few after work. Alcohol is very high in calorie, and it takes the liver 3 days to flush it out of your system. While doing that the liver puts processing fat on hold.

The trick to drinking alcohol and losing wieght is not to drink it every night and keep it in the light to moderate zone. Even near Bear, counts as real beer to your liver. So you are just going to have to find an alternative.

You also need to liver detox. You can you tube infor on that. If your liver and gall bladder are not in good shape you wil have a very hard time losing any wieght.

I've seen it help a lot of people, including me. But most of us aren't doctors. If you want to ask about personal experience on it, I'm doing much better since I quit drinking and losing weight is easy now.

I'm an expert on how to quit drinking. Just last week I quit 3 times!

.............

I don't get how people say weed makes them want to workout and all that.

Weed makes me lazy as can be. It totally zaps my motivation AND makes me want to eat like horse.

I'm not saying alcohol is healthier, i'm sure it isn't. But I personally feel regular weed usage is not conducive to maintaining an sort of regimen that requires discipline.

Asked my doc-premed-buddy on liver cleanses:

His advice to patients is lose weight, drink more water, vaccinate for Hep A or B, and stop drinking ---> Regeneration.

He says most cleanses and products are unproven. Losing weight heals liver, not other way around.

Like other poster says, moderate.

drop the booz ASAP

Weed makes you lazy af

That's because you're using Indica herb instead of Sativa. You should know this basic difference before you toke up.

You're doctor is mainstream junk science big pharma trained and clueless...as if "cleanses" are unproven and deadly vaccines are good for you. HILARIOUS.

That is 100% wrong. I've smoked pure sativa's , pure indica's and hybrids of all sorts. It makes no difference after the first 20 minutes, which one you smoke.

maybe being kind to self is start, anything else like substances is a mask over wound

He said he likes the alcohol-induced buzz every night after work. That's how alcoholism starts. For a time it will be functional alcoholism and the OP won't realise he has an alcohol problem. But drinking every day will make his body more resistant and he won't get that buzz as easily so he'll gradually raise his alcohol intake. Then he's a full-blown alcoholic.

No need for "alternatives."

Weed has a completely different physiological effect. Consciously replacing alcohol with it will result in the body just craving the booze, which it needs more.

I would seriously try to abstain from both for three months before thinking of weed. You may be so detoxed by then that you're in great mental and physical shape and desire neither.

Think music, painting, cycling, reading, less electronics. Religious anthropology.

There's something you seek more than altering your mind.

Yes!

Off the booze for nearly a year now, lost a ton of weight. Smoke some green every now and again.

Try some Ryebread, skip white bread entirelly, drop sodas, have a glas of red wine instead of beer, chilli,garlic and beans cooked and fresh is your freind, also go swimming for exersize running will damage your back.
Meat is also your freind, and cabbage, lots of cabbage, apples,carrots, chopped,steamed,cooked, anything goes.
If you eat high carb food like cabbage and mix it with meat, the meat will not make you fat, even if its fatty meat, its all about your burn value, keep the stomac working, thats why rye bread is good.

You mentioned drinking is damaging your diet, and you are right, high sugar alcoholic beverages like beer and liquor will firstly stop your indigestion and then clot it up with all the alcohol sugars.
If you have to drink alcohol, (red wine)

Why are you running from hiding place to hiding place? Step up and face reality. Stop running away. Of course it sucks to make the change into reality. The lack of "fun" from getting high must be replaced with totally different set of values that define "fun" for you. This is not easy.

When I used to drink I would sit around and talk about all the shit I was going to do

When I smoke I actually go do shit


The end

I can't smoke too much or really strong pot, it triggers super wicked paranoid schizoid episodes, where I have to basically shut down and sit in a corner to avoid doing anything stupid and just sit there with my own demons howling at me, it's kind of a buzzkill. One or two hits, and I'm fine.

You'd be better off just doing some moderate exercise and eating less processed foods, and the weight should come off slowly and easily.

Alky free for 16 yrs here. Butch up get your mind right, your heart,liver,kidneys and akin will thank you when your 65 like me. Been smoking pot ever since I quit, I don't care what anyone says man has a need to alter his consciousness, and pot is the safest way to do it.

It's easy to drink booze and stay in shape when you are on da ROIDS!!

So obvious is so obvious!

No the safest way to do it is in the Word of God! Pray in the Spirit. The only way it can be done though is to be born again!!

Next time you're high ask God how you can be born again and taste the riches of His love.
