California Sober chasing more

Hi all,

I am now 20 months sober from alcohol after having significant problems with it throughout my early twenties and into my mid 20’s. My life has improved in many ways- physically, mentally, emotionally.

Unfortunately- I am still using marijuana which subconsciously has been eating away at me. It’s like internally I know that using MJ as a crutch is holding me back from continuing to level up. I have been a nightly user since getting off the booze- it’s a lesser of two evils in my opinion but I am ready to get rid of this crutch.

Starting tomorrow 4/21- complete sobriety. Any tips for keeping myself productive and focused in the short term while getting used to not having that crutch?

Also- not sure if I will have any sort of physical withdrawal (have gone week + without recently and was fine) but anything to combat cravings would also be appreciated!

I will follow-up in this sub as I progress. Upward and onward!
