I stopped drinking and took up smoking, but now I question if this is actually healthier for me or not. I'm just at a very low spot in my life emotionally and don't have a support network that can help me through it so I find myself choosing one of these as a temporary solution. Thoughts? No, I'm not going to be totally sober or at least not until I get into a relationship (assuming she wants that from me) I'm not an angry drunk or stonerI'm not irresponsible like a booze crusier or a high rider. I just get really sad. Im alone and I want to decompress in the evening when there are no responsibilities.
>>34390162your a weak pathetic manI haven't spoken to anyone besides my mom on the phone and my manager at work via zoom for 4 monthsget your ass to the gym loser
>>34390162alcohol is pretty fucking bad, probably worse than weedweed in the long run will fuck you up too, though>Thoughts? No, I'm not going to be totally sober or at least not until I get into a relationship (assuming she wants that from me)you've already given up?>I just get really sad. Im alone and I want to decompress in the evening when there are no responsibilities.u should find things to do besides substances, have some self-respect
find things to do in order to make your life good/bearable, is what i meannot JUST because of self-respectyou'll be alright
>>34390435You're I workout intensively, as well as partake in physically engaging hobbies like climbing and motorcycle riding. >>34390441>find things to doI actually do too much and over exert my body. I partake as a means to reset, a cooldown in gamer terms.>Given upI don't know to be honest. Part of me wants to be honest and say yeah but another part of me believes I'm only like this because I am just not in an enviornment that rewards sobriety. I am carrying a lot of weight, my internal engine RPMs run high for extended periods of time. Sometimes I just need to lower my RPM and a helpful solution has been a good night cap before bed.>>34390445I think I need to do activities that are fulfilling AND relaxing. Maybe a bathhouse or sauna?
>>34390162If I remember correctly Lincoln himself basically had no vices
>>34390984Also, the quote doesn't sound like something he would say
>>34390509You don’t have a bike.
I have noticed a positive change in my mental and physical health when I substitute alcohol for weed. I am/was a heavy user of both but not at the same time, just either or. There is no way I would go to the gym every other day or meditate and try to be more mindful of my thoughts and feelings while ravaging my liver with alcohol, for example.
>>34391120I have 3 kek all sport bikes try again
>>34391468With that said it is not for everyone, I am lucky in that I have no mental illness or history of them in the family, aside from being a mild sperg.
>>34390162Personal opinion? Booze is without a doubt worse.I can't give myself an ulcer with weed.
Alcohol no question. You can smoke weed for decades, be a stoner burnout, and then quit and be a normal person. Alcohol will cumulatively damage you the whole time you do it and change you permanently
>>34390162Both are bad for you in their own waysSmoking weed would be worse in terms of the route of administration(since we all know smoking is le bad for lungs)Yet for total impairment alcohol would be worse.I've known acquaintances/neighbors who developed schizophrenia as a result of weed. Especially since its legal in my country(yes im a leaflaggot)Alcohol's wide acceptance would make it worse.
>>34390162neither are healthy, are you retarded? if you want a vice, just choose caffeine. its the least destructive.
>>34391759Healthi-er =/= healthy >>34391533Don't have a family history of schizophrenia so that doesn't apply to me.
>>34390162depends on how much you drink, how you do on weed, and how cheap you can find what you likesome drinking(not a bender) once a week or during holidays is fine anything more than that is usually bad news that can sneak up on youif you can function on weed you can smoke as much as you please but if it fucks you up too much to enjoy anything else you're wasting your time and money
>>34391837It doesn't matter whether or not you have a history.>>34391759Even caffeine can have health effects like anxiety, constipation & insomnia , rare cases involve psychosis. Not to mention it is a diuretic.
>>34390162the thing that makes weed bad is not the weed, it's what you do on it. if you smoke weed, clean your apartment, take care of errands, go to the gym, etc, then weed is not a problem. if you smoke weed, sit on the couch, eat doritos, and goon for 3 hours, then weed is bad for you.
>>34391884I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that only happens to very young people who smoke extremely strong weed. Not adults with mild stuff.>>34391870Good post, thank you.I would say a couple beers before bed / a small grinders worth of bowls. I can function but I get a sense of contentment which I feel like could be a double edged sword.>>34391947I do not drive when intoxicated. I clean and do house work / work on cars/bikes but won't venture out when smoked. I would like to gently remind you all that the key bit of context is me settling down at the end of the day. I do not wake and bake, I try not to smoke in the afternoons just incase responsibilities or opportunities come knocking. I think I'm leaning to the weed just from what has been said here, but I don't want it to be a confirmation bias.
