I smoke weed all day, err day. I also dip all the time. I used to have a daily drinking habit, but kicked that last year.

I went cold turkey on dip and weed this past weekend. It was easy the first couple days, but now I feel almost as crazy as I did when I quit drinking.

Exercising helps, and I already have a lift routine. I went to the gym this morning. I hit a couple PR's which is nice and all, but wtf am I supposed to do with myself now?

Why do I have these habits? Ever since I was a teenager, I've always had to be edgy; doing stuff like smoking cigarettes for fun.

I'm over 30 now, and I can count on one hand the days I've been substance-free since 17yrs old. Why do I feel the need to do this to myself?

Give me words of strength, brothers.

you should have a lot more money now that you're not smoking weed or cigarettes. invest in some home gym equipment. when the cravings hit, go work out hard. eventually, the cravings will subside.

Pray to God. Laugh all you want people, Jesus Christ is real and He is the only thing that can deliver you from these types of addictions. If you pray for freedom from these things, I'm confident God will supply the grace you need and one day you'll just be free of it and it won't even bother you. Then you'll probably rationalise your recovery and take credit for God's grace... I'll pray for you about this.

People are addicts because they are trying to fill the hole inside them that can only be filled by God. Whether it's money, drugs, success, consumerism, sport etc... We're all looking for happiness in the wrong place, our yearning is for one thing; a reconciliation with God.

That's enough preaching lol. Good luck with everything.

Substitute it with something. I substituted mine with learning how to cook/working out. If you want to be "edgy", then you can begin looking intimidating by working out. You aren't going to be "edgy" while being 130 lbs soaking wet, you'll just look laughable.

op here

I'm not huge, but I hit two plates on bench today, can deadlift 300lbs, squat 300ish lbs. I'm lean and mean and I go to a commercial gym, so I'm basically a rock star there.

I appreciate all of the religious advice and prayers, but that stuff is not for me. I can't even force myself to believe in supernatural things.

Am I cursed to be a degenerate for the rest of my life? Will I always feel this empty unless I force myself to follow a religion?

smoke weed and lift stop crying
you are afforded an existence where you GET to smoke weed every day, do you not understand how amazing this is

General rule of habit kicking is only focus on one thing at a time. I'm going to go against the grain and focus on totally kicking one of the two, then after a month of being clean focus on the other. If you're about to claw your eyes out that will be hard to sustain.

I don't think forcing yourself to follow a religion is the right way to think about it. Maybe just ponder these things from time to time? I mean, how could this universe and all that is in it simply create itself out of nothing, by accident? Why do we have logic, morality, the capacity for abstract reasoning? Why does everything seem to perform a specific function, all these variables depending on one another? Like bee's, they do their job, they pollinate flowers... If they didn't exist we couldn't exist. This is the same for basically all of life. Tiny changes or omissions would bring these delicate and precise ecosystems tumbling town. Are we meant to believe these systems evolved one tiny stage at a time when they are so utterly dependant on one another?

We have a "hole" inside us because we were torn from the loving embrace of God in the garden of Eden. Forcing yourself to adopt a religion won't do anything, but recognising the truth of it all will.

Come to think of it, drug addicts and adrenalin junkies often use the term "God sized hole" to describe what they are pursuing.

Not trying to beat you over the head with a bible, just giving a different opinion you might not normally get.

God bless

I would overtrain if I worked out hard every time I was gonna smoke weed lol. I guess cardio could be a time filler.

theres literally nothing wrong with smoking weed anon its all about how you handle it
if your life is in balance and you're making strides at the gym, holding a career and at least existing socially i say fuckin toke it
if its getting in your way though just smoke in moderation

I honestly had to kick my weed habit in my 30s because I stopped dreaming. Now I have powerful as fuck dreams and it is great.

The dip habit is gonna be tougher. I smoked for 15 years and quit and it was the hardest thing I ever did. Also quitting was the best thing I ever did.

Fuck chemicals man. Just smoke weed like every couple weeks.

Try saying this prayer once a day. See if you notice any change. A homeless addict turned priest swears saying one Hail Mary a day saved his life

Join Scientology. This one guy I know used to suck five dicks a day back in the 80s and now he is a major movie star and can handle any mission no matter how impossible.
