@ Tony - so glad to hear that you are doing well. I know too well, it's a daily battle.

Never let your guard down and expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to an addiction. I am super proud of you my friend.
81 days clean today - An obligatory 4/20 Post:I'm not sure if 4/20 is as prevalent worldwide as it has become in the USA. I know from another addiction group I participate in that 4/20 is seen as a huge struggle for those in sobriety. I hope those you of you out there struggling are able to persevere and execute your personal goals and hopes, no matter what the world or calendar is doing.
Today isn't a struggle for me. It's just another day. Just like Valentines Day and all of the other "holidays," 4/20 is a social construct. It's something we invented, not anything actually tangible or measurable. That said, it has become a symbol for the counter-culture lifestyle and now is actually more mainstream than ever. For me as an addict, I already lived 4/20...way too many times.
If you are struggling today, remember, nothing is worth throwing away your progress over. Not friends, a party, and especially not a momentary feeling or state of mind that you are surely to regret. The day will come and go, the smoke will dissipate, the parties will come to a halt. But you...you will still exist tomorrow....and the next day and so on. For me, nothing is worth abandoning my personal goals or desires to live outside the cloud...just not worth it.
If you do relapse, don't let it turn into binge. Pull yourself up on the wagon as quickly as possible. A few moments can easily turn into days, months, years... Don't feel ashamed, falling teaches you how to pick yourself up. I believe in you. I say this because I am a weed degenerate who has (and still is) turning his life around. Blessings to all of you. Keep up the good work!
