Weed/Booze Depedency

Has anyone here managed to elevate themselves from being dopamine slaves?
I've gone a month without it but I still have very strong urges to drink/smoke whenever I'm bored at night but I just hate spending money on this crap.
I don't have a girlfriend or any real friends so these substances are the only way I'm managed to cope with life but now it's seem impossible.
Help me Zig Forums, I started working out which is helping a bit but I'm still a dopamine slave.

try LSD

i've done LSD and mushrooms before, their just gimmicks and don't have lasting effects outside of your trip.

i just smoke weed all day everyday and im still bored as fuck all the time.

i would quit the booze, its gonna have a negative impact in the longrun. weed is whatever

Dopamine is nice, ive fucked on meth a few times, and there's no higher amount of dopamine you can get than that. My addiction was benzos for years, took me like 7 months to taper off of them. Life is shit now because I have to actually deal with anxiety.

Pay money, see a psychologist, take 6 months to get your shit right

Just gonna be some kike who's gonna diagnose me with depression and give me pills that will turn my brain into mush.

Weed is a massive waste of money though, usually costs me around $150 a month which is higher than any of my bills.

try microdosing so you're sort of tripping all the time.

i wish i had some real advice but i'm mostly in the same boat. one thing that's helped me a lot is taking adderall. Now I just work all the time which helps me forget about how much of a mess my personal life is.

And you have to be patient. I was like you and went sober for a year. Face your demons, it’s going to hurt but relish in the pain leaving your body.
Meditate. Seriously. And learn to enjoy tea and kombucha or any healthy treat.
Therapy helps, especially a psych who won’t medicate you and has experience with addicts.

Chew gum when you wanna smoke. Try to only drink in social situations and not buy any to bring home. This path is a slow one. You need some type of vice, hopefully a healthy one, or you will relapse. Taking a multi vitamin helps a ton to regulate your impulses believe it or not. Most people ignore that.
Pretty much everybody is a dopamine slave in one way or another anyway

I'm currently cutting out the booze but I'm smoking dabs drinking coffee while cleaning
my house tonight.
I let myself go and gained 20lbs and lost braincells drinking nightly for a couple months.

I think it takes a long time to adjust.
A friend who quit drinking after 7 years daily has never been the same. It's like he faded in the last couple years of drinking and even stopping the drink he never recovered his mental capacity.

Not true. Put in an ounce of effort and in your intro email let them know your stance. There are good ones out there.
Psychologists not psychiatrists

Have done both, first one with 6 months of anti depressants which just sucked. Second time round paid more got a great one highly recommended and focused on the areas I wanted to address. Its not a '1 month 4 sessions and I'm cured' takes time work and effort on your part too. I still want drugs a lot, the difference is now 2 years down the line I don't think of them every day, and when I think of them, I dont buy them/do them.

I dont drink but smoked weed every day for the past five years. I'm on day 11 now completely sober and doing ok...but still have nothing to live for except my crypto stack. Dont even have a job, just cashed out some link at the top and living off that right now. Living in an airbnb until end of October because I wanted to get sober. Also dropped out of teachers school. Cant do much else with my philosophy BA. Probably going to be homeless in november living in my car. Stay strong bro

I want to quit these substances mainly for financial reasons, a psychologist is gonna charge me out the ass.

A girlfriend will help user or at least hooking up and going on dates. You’re working out so should be able to use it..get on tinder and find some slam pigs.

Quit both. If you want to indulge a couple times a year for special occasions that's fine. If you invested all the money you waste on this crap you'll be way ahead of most people on this board in 10 years.

Alcohol is the real demon. Weed makes you stupid and lazy, but it's not nearly as addictive.

Alcohol kills about 8% of all men, worldwide, each year.

>get on tinder and find some slam pigs.
Fat people are disgusting and have terrible hygiene, no thank you.

Ngmi user but I wish you and your double dubs the best of luck, really.

Lmao, how the fuck is alcoholism a thing? Like just close the bottle, nigga.

Then don’t fuck fat ones it’s your choice ...

try art

Imagine having this little willpower. You don't need help or gimmicks, you need to grow a fucking pair of testicles.

testes and something to do instead of reading your bullshit

Start meditating everyday and delving into spirituality user. Slowly but surely you can start to conquer your vices when you begin to conquer your mind.

I get my dopamine fix from watching green numbers.
You just need to find your next dopamine fix.
Getting your dopamine fix from the gym is the best route desu.

I masturbate instead. Not proud of it, whenever I have a vacation from work I stop fapping, but when I'm stressed and tired, nothing like a good cum to calm the nerves. Cheaper than booze at least, debatable about whether or not it's less harmful I suppose.

What worked for me recently was I drank for 36 hours and smoked so much that I got sick and was able to stop for long enough to make it easy to quit. I wouldn't recommend it.

Ive been smoking weed every day since I was 14. How fucked am I? Ive gone year long sessions without smoking too had no issues. But being sober is boring so I just end up smoking (actually vaping i stopped smoking long ago, herbal vape is much healthier)

In that case dont be weak and make better choices. Do some reading on financial literacy and budgeting. Lock away your disposable cash in a savings account you cant touch each time you get paid. If you dont want to get drunk and you aren't addicted then dont buy booze. Find a cheap hobby to replace it. Do something better with your life. Be better. Dont ask Zig Forums to fix your bad choices, make better ones. Learn about mindfulness and exercise it

Classic pothead rationale. "I like weed so theres nothing wrong with it"
