Abusing thc for relief

2 Replies

I'm sober from alcohol. It has never done me any good. However I have been friendly with THC. It doesn't cause me to go into violent moods and insult people. It used to help me wind down. Now I feel like my high potent THC gummies might be making me feel how I feel the past month. I'm considering stopping them altogether if that is the case. I'm struggling with my mental health badly and I don't want them making me worse. My Anxiety and Depression have spiked over the last day. What I think I should do is be more public with people. I wanted to start going to AA. Actually begin the Steps instead of doing the meetings only. I don't know. I took today and yesterday off of work just to try to feel better. My biggest fear is my drunk past transgressions coming back to bite me in the butt. I don't want anyone I wronged hurting my loved ones over something I am responsible for. Did I mention I have a lot of guilt?

My circle calls that "California Sober". I qualify for medical marijuana and wonder about the results for anxiety. Where it may help situational anxiety (want to tune out spouse?) I'm not sure if it's a 24 hour solution. Good luck, only you can know if your life has become " unmanageable ". If you've never found a HP, there are great methods to accepting one. 💜
