Marijuana and Recovery

[NoOtherHeart]

On one hand, I feel like smoking marijuana is helpful because it calms me down and makes me a little horny. It's also natural. On the other hand, I wonder if it is impeding progress in recovery. What are your opinions on using weed during our recoveries?

weed is well known to lower testosterone. I don't think occasional use would matter though

Stay as far as humanly possible away from it. I know people who smoked weed while trying to recover and it completely ruined their progress. It was awful to watch.

Wow, I'm honestly very surprised to hear that. Well time to ditch the grass, then!

Perhaps it's been messing with me too and I just have no idea. Its effects on me may be very subtle. Or perhaps there are no effects on me. Either way, the best route will be to ditch the pot. I'll probably be more clearheaded and will save $20 a week!

Pot is the lesser of the intoxicant evils, but it still has negative effects on hormone levels, which at your stage of the game is something you want to avoid at all costs.

Just out of curiosity, have you read the website?

Yes I have. I didn't see anything about pot on there and in the past it has given me morning erections so I was curious.

It says to avoid ALL intoxicants.

When you're a little further along in your recovery it's fine once in awhile and is actually easier on your system than alcohol is. But at this stage of the game sober is the way to go, unfortunately. lol

I would be interested in trying CBD oil. Has anyone tried it? doesn't get you high
