Since the pandemic started, I felt I really needed a vice to get through my week. I noticed I was drinking and/or smoking pot more regularly and I had the motto of "Hey as long it's not harmful to others or myself then do whatever you need to get through this thing". 1/7
Since the pandemic started, I felt I really needed a vice to get through my week. I noticed I was drinking and/or smoking pot more regularly and I had the motto of "Hey as long it's not harmful to others or myself then do whatever you need to get through this thing". 1/7
But the more this stupid pandemic started to stretch out, the more I started to throw away money at these vices and really rely on them to get through my day to the point of just feeling shitty. 2/7
All that to say, I did one of those "dry months" to prove a point to myself and health wise I feel so much better mentally and physically. 3/7
The journey was surprisingly easy (for me anyways) to quit cold turkey and it looks like my need to partake in my vices were a product of boredom rather than addiction, which is another problem unto itself. 4/7
I should say this isn't the one of those "I am never drinking or smoking pot again" posts (I love a good beer and a nice joint too much to do that so sue me), but it's more of a post to talk about self moderation and control. 5/7
So anyways if you are in a similar spot, maybe this post will inspire you to take a break too (I'll be rooting for you)! For me, I have come back to a place where I can enjoy these things in moderation rather then "needing" these things and it feels real good.

PS After my entire life of bashing it, I have come around on sparkling water and have found a brand new appreciation for it. 7/7
