I think I'm going to go to a MA meeting on Monday.
Honestly, I feel so weak and pathetic and stupid that I can't keep this marijuana usage under control. Now I'm teetering on the brink of losing my place to live if I don't stop and STILL I can't seem to put it away.

I just don't feel like I can say, "Oh it's just pot." anymore.

So despite my reservations, I'll give the 12 step thing a shot and hope I can somehow make it work for me.

I sure could use some hugs to get me through the weekend though.

Thanks for listening.

-Joe

3. You've got it, Mojambo!
You are NOT weak, pathetic and stupid!

Lack of control is our dilemma- We are addicts/alcoholics.

Something different occurs when we drink or use.
Our wiring sets us up for the all consuming compulsion
to get that next drink/hit/snort/joint ASAP.

That shit doesn't happen to Normies.
They can take it or leave it.

It's One Day at a Time,
break it down to one hour at a time.

( I know, I know- I repeat this constantly, but when
you're going out of your mind, this REALLY helps!)

Welcome to our little group.
Check in often, we are a great source of help and support.

Please let us know how you're doing.
