Alcohol, pot, help?

Question

I just want to know what you guys think ... I come home everyday and I just run to my bong, when Im out of weed I run to my beer ... alcoholism runs in my family and I have noticed that if I smoke pot rather than drink beer than I didn't need any alcohol at all for months at a time, as long as I smoked a few sessions every day. I think I have a really bad problem, as for the past year that I've been living outside of my parents house I have pretty much been intoxicated by the time I go to bed every night. I don't know what to do, could I get a real response, rather than some mean prick response telling me I'm stupid and nothing more than a no good nobody. I don't want to be a nobody. I want help. I want to be somebody. What can I do?

Answer 1

I have a similar situation, except it sounds like I smoke more pot and drink less than you. I'm 21 and have been smoking weed and drinking since I was very young. I never seemed to get addicted to booze, but I can barely go a day without smoking weed. If alcoholism runs in your family I would definitely try to stay away from booze as much as possible. I don't know of anyone who has died from being a pot head, but booze kills people all the time. If all you have to do to stay away from booze is smoke a little herb, I'd say go for it. If you want to try and quit smoking weed maybe smoke a little less each day, gradually weening yourself off of it. Tons of successful people smoke a little weed behind closed doors; don't be fooled by the propaganda. Cannabis is not totally harmless and like all good things should be used in moderation.

Answer 2

You're asking for the easy way out, there is no easy way out, it takes hard work to break an addiction and if you are unwilling to get help, possibly in a 12 step program, you will probably not be sucessful in letting it go.  Good luck

Answer 3

i dont smoke weed cause i think it's kinda stupid and pointless (but that's cause i havent done it, so i dont feel as if i'm missing out on it) but since you've already started it'll be really hard to stop, knowing how much fun it is to be high. i have a bunch of friends like you and my boyfriend smokes just like you. you really need to get some serious help cause weed addiction is one of the hardest things to recover from. i'd call someone about rehab.

good luck.
