weed vs booze
I did a lot of dope back in the late 60s early 70s. Did pretty much everything apart from smack. Then 50 years ago alcohol became my drug of choice. Apart from the occasional dabbling I've stuck with the drink ever since. Trouble is I'm 70 now and my tolerance is so high it takes a lot of booze to do the trick. Plus I know it's fucking me up physically. I need 8% abv beer and whisky to scratch the itch. So I found this site to see if weed could help me dial the booze down. Hasn't worked for me sadly. I do both and I still want more. Sorry, I'll cut it short now. Realised I don't really know what I'm seeking, I'm just whining. Maybe there is no answer to my particular problem. What do you do when nothing is good enough?

Maybe now is the time to accept that replacing one addiction for another won't cancel each other out?

I'm a true believer in that some people are into drinking, some into smoking, others into both. But regardless of your vice, having that desire to chase a feeling isn't something that'll get better by alternating the chase

Just some food for thought. Sorry you're feeling this way mate. Might be worth seeking out some help

I’ve always been a big drinker and I simply love the bloody stuff. Weed just entices me to drink more. I find it a great combination. Yup, 8% beers- lovely kegs of Belgian brews like Kwak, Leffe & Tripel Karmaleit are my absolute faves! All matched with super premium tequilas and bourbons- bloody lovely!

I used to drink every day of the week but now I take Mon-Thurs off and really enjoy the detox, good sleep etc and then pan it for the rest of the week.

Relax. Stop beating yourself up. Be here for a good time, you’ve already had a long time. ❤️😘

Always enjoy your comments mate. You speak a lot of sense. When my marriage ended like you I used to drink every night. Now through willpower alone I've whittled myself down to three evenings a week. It's not easy but I've kept to it a long while now. Of course on those three evenings I binge drink myself stupid. Last night I passed out around midnight and woke up in the armchair around 6am. Was coasting on Skol Super this evening but got bored so just been round the offie and bought a bottle of Scotch. I just need anything that will shut out the depression, boredom and loneliness for a couple of hours at least. Something to take me to a different place for a short while. Take care mate, I maybe wrong but I like to think you are a kindred spirit.

You may not want to hear this but you need jesus christ. Having faith in something bigger than ourselves can help us improve our lives exponentially by breaking us away from our vices. I've never been much of a drinker more of a class A upper kind of vibe but it got so bad I sold the 3 cars I had, lost my home and I shit you not tried selling the clothes I was wearing for a line. It all started to get better when I sought the lord. Even if you think I'm talking nonsense, you can only know if you try.
Stay blessed bigga

Thank you I appreciate your sentiment. I'm 70 now and have been an atheist all my life and will stay so until the end. That said I respect anyone's belief's and will defend their right to believe whatever they wish even if I don't share their views. Take care my friend.

Donjuanjulio
We each believe what we experience and that is subjective to all of us. Making it to 70 and still finding things to enjoy means you've done something right. I pray you find a happiness true to you and like pollypuff said, dont beat yourself up too much brother.
Have a blessed evening

Have you considered psilocybin (magic mushrooms)?

Many people report that the experience allows them to see their addiction from a "birds-eye view," realising that the substance is no longer a necessary part of who they are.

It can also help individuals confront underlying trauma or depression that may be driving the addiction, rather than just treating the craving itself.

I've been trying microdose capsules from here, just a small, unnoticeable amount of magic mushroom powder added to capsules with other types of mushrooms like Lions Mane & cordyceps and the mood lift is very noticeable after a few days of consistent use.

Also tried a stronger dose over Christmas for the actual trip and that did have positive results long after the trip had worn off.

Have a look at some of the offerings on here, fungal-cate is a good supplier

By the way, I also have chronic tinnitus, the microdose capsules actually reduced the noise significantly, even stops it on occasion (which was utter bliss!)

Good luck 👍

Thanks mate. I've actually contributed to another thread on shrooms. To keep it short I bought a choc bar a few weeks ago with the intention of microdosing. Basically I haven't had the nerve to try it yet. It's 4g a bar divided into 15 squares so works out about 0.26g per square. So a very low dose. Trouble is even though it's so low I'm paranoid in case I have a weird reaction. And as I'm sure you'll agree paranoia is not a good state of mind in which to go experimenting with Psychedelics. So it's still sitting there in its packaging until I get the nerve up to try it.

I think I bought the same one - the Polka dot bar?
I haven't had shrooms for decades and decided to try the chocolate bar when I had a home alone weekend.
I had 6 squares, put some music on, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the positive, mood lifting affects lasted for a couple of weeks, maybe more after taking it, now I'm a regular micro-doser as it helps my tinnitus and the anxiety it causes.
Good luck & don't be afraid to try a decent dose, its really quite fun - music sounds amazing!

I also think I may have replied to you on another thread about the effect on tinnitus? Certainly replied to someone on the topic. In addition to depression I've suffered with screaming tinnitus in both ears for years. If I could find any relief from that it would be so good.

Yes the same one mate! Good to hear about your positive experience. I will go much lower than 6 and work my way up from there. Many thanks for your help

Alcohol=poison

You already made it to the age of 70! How is your health holding up? Do you not feel ill or unwell the next day after drinking?
If I make it to 70 I will only want to do things that I enjoy and being sick from drinking too much is not on the list.

You only drink 3 nights a week that means you can go on without alcohol! Just push it a bit further if you really want to give it up you can!
It's all in your head you either love it or hate it. Try to think of all the bad things that come from it and try to start hating it instead of loving it.

For sleep there are very strong strains that will definatley put you to sleep even during the day. I would recommend my skywalker og for that.

At the end of the day it is all in your head. You just need to make up your mind how you want to spend your remaining years.

Thanks for your comments mate! Regarding my health I've been a heavy drinker for the past 40+ years. I have high tolerance. Plus I've always managed to balance it with a relatively healthy lifestyle. Yes I have mornings after where I feel like shit but I shake it off pretty quickly unless I've really gone overboard and drunk myself unconscious the night before. Even then I get over it ok. As for if I can go only three nights a week then I can go without totally the opposite is true. Drinking three nights a week is the only thing that helps me abstain the other four. I would drink every night rather than give up the three I have. I honestly don't want to come across patronising but I don't expect anyone not addicted to alcohol to understand. It's complicated.

Cannabis Cannibals
That's my point exactly. You love it in your head it's all a done deal. I used to drink a lot in my youth. I used to get half price discount at a distillery where I worked and I did make the most out of it. I know what's the addiction feels like, the constant thought of when is the next smoke/drink. Been there, in my case being sick for weeks not being able to smoke or drink was the way out. After a couple weeks the habits faded and I set my mind to try and not to do it anymore. I picked up smoking again a few years later but not drank any alcohol for a long time. Still to this day I sometimes think about the feeling of having an ice cold beer in the sun and such.
I must admit that if I wasn't forced to stop for those first weeks I probably wouldn't have had the will power to do so.

I think it's a case of spending alot on some wpff hash from the hash collective. Smoke that on a bong and you won't feel the need for any more mate 👍✨ not for a good few hours. You won't leave the house mate. Dopeys sift from the whiskey weed messed me up in a similar way for cheaper. You could get some cheap hash and melt it in with oil and eat it. That wrecks you completely and works with the commercial hash too

The Khasi of Kalabar
Thanks mate. Truth is I just want something that will make me feel happy because nothing does. Beer, whisky, weed, I just feel miserable. I don't think there is an answer for me sadly. I envy people that have found the answer. I really do. Sorry to sound like a whining shit, I hate it, but it's just the way it is for me.

quagmirewrangle
i think that looking for happiness in drugs, however safe/unsafe a particular substance may be, is highly unlikely to work. i'm presuming there's something deeper here that needs to be addressed. also binge drinking wrecks your body and mind, it's perhaps part of the problem at this point.

i hope you can find the answer. perhaps a good therapist could help you?

The Khasi of Kalabar
Thanks mate. Like I said I've tried many different antidepressants. Also had dynamic psychotherapy and CBT plus many sessions with psychiatrists. Nothing has made me feel better and a lot of it has made me feel worse. Personally I think my problem is down to physical trauma. I used to cycle commute to work and had a serious accident. Went over the handlebars at speed and hit the road head first. Had bad concussion. My problems started shortly after. Think frontal lobe damage was the cause. Sadly it's not like the TV where you mention it to the doc and they whip you in and sort you out. In reality they say "yes that's possible, let's try you on this pill you haven't tried yet". Sorry to sound cynical but it's born of hard experience.

I am an alcoholic. I don't drink now. That is the 1st and most important step to get rid of alcohol as it is the cause of all of that unwanted bad feeling. A known depressive that I've seen ruin many lives. If you can get off the booze and have a good strong dose of cannabis when needed then you will enjoy everything a bit better mate.

The Khasi of Kalabar
I can't imagine a world without drink. It's all I have to look forward to. Tried to replace it with weed but the buzz is not the same. I need the hit alcohol provides. Someone told me they add full spectrum oil to alcohol free beer. I've thought about it but have the alcoholic's fear that it won't work. So I stick with the booze.

Quiting booze is the only way forward. Me and a friend both nearly died from it. If you want to remove the devil in your mind then don't drink the devils piss ! I'm with you mate. I take sertraline to block things out and a.mitrazipine at night and it's like being a bit wobbly and sleepy. Both are anti depressants and it works for me. Well that and lots of weed you know 😄✨🤣 i have been at it 28 years trying to find the right combination of meds. So I thought I'd share. You are talking to a man who would drink at every hour of the day 24/7 vodka. I was an absolute mess mate. Hot me up for a chat any time

The Khasi of Kalabar
Cheers mate. I spent four years on Fluoxetine, then four and a half years on Sertraline, then the past ten years on Venlafaxine and Mirtazapine combined. The Mirtazapine with the booze helps me sleep. Well let's face it the combo knocks me out. I couldn't sleep without it. Life is shit. We all need whatever gets us through it.

Personally, at the age of 53, I wouldn’t overstress about these things

When it’s not enough and you clearly know it, that’s your mind building a new pathway for what’s ahead

If you’ve used alcohol to escape stress or personal issues — fine. If cannabis helps in the same way — fine. If, at times, they both do — fine.

Because in the end, it’s not really about the alcohol or the cannabis. It’s about understanding yourself.

What tends to happen is this: as you become more self-aware, you naturally need less of both. The people who struggle are usually the ones who never stop to look inward — so they end up drinking more, smoking more, and going in circles.

So enjoy it. Have a drink. Have a smoke. Just don’t overdo it.

Deep down, you already know what’s right for you — that quiet voice doesn’t lie.

Take things day by day. If you’re on the right path, you’ll move forward. If you’re not, you’ll learn what you need to along the way.

Above all, look after yourself — and enjoy your life ❤️
