What I NEED Instead of WEED
Channel: Life After Weed
Date: 2019-07-13

Why was I using alcohol, ecstasy and weed? What was I lacking that made me turn to these substances? 

As you may be intimately aware, life is extremely challenging to say the least. It keeps coming at you without end. It just doesn’t let up. How do you fight this? Should you be fighting it? How can you keep up with it? How do you deal with it?

For twenty years I tried to deal with it by drowning life with substances. This is my (partial) story on how I broke free.

Please share your thoughts on your addiction in the comments below. Where do you find compassion and hope in your life? What are your strengths? What is your pain? Are you able to have an intellectual curiosity of that pain instead of a judgement of it and an attempt to smoother it? How do you deal with that urge to use? How do you deal with lack of focus and drive and hope?
