Hi guys

Anthony/happydaze I can relate to your problems with alcohol, I'm struggling with it myself and have been for some years. If I could just limit myself to one or two drinks it might be OK but I simply can't. Once I start I can't stop. Even if I can limit myself I find it does me no good, even a small amount can make me very depressed. Large amounts often make me suicidal. I've admitted to myself and other people that I have a problem but it's so hard to stop. I need to stop as I have pain coming from my liver area after drinking, surely not a good sign. I have got into the habit of coming home from work and opening a beer, a habit that's very hard to break. For me the only good amount of alcohol is no alcohol.

Cannabis on the other hand, I find a small amount can be helpful. As someone else mentioned, small amounts can help me to concentrate on one thing. Too much is a bad thing, it leaves me paranoid and feeling isolated.
