Your body is dependent on it now.

Your best bet will be to slowly ween yourself off of it. Drink less and less each day, and if that doesnt help you will need to go to a detox place. It really sucks but its going to be the only way to get rid of the alcohol dependency.

Good luck.

I don’t know, but I don’t recommend the rooms of recovery. I don’t know about you, but I’m immediately attracted to those who are sicker than me.

Question by : Can you be in different stages of recovery based on different drugs used?
If you stop drinking alcohol, but continue to smoke marijuana; can you be considered to be in the action stage in terms of your recovery from alcohol, but only in the pre-contemplation stage in terms of your recovery with your drug (marijuana) use?

Very deep question. The problem is that since alcohol is legal the records and statistics are all based on facts. With weed the opposite is true except within those states where it’s legal for medicinal use. The few outweigh the many and so does the answer. When smoking both together, common sense tells you that giving up the alcohol is going to be a driving board into the answer to the contemplation of giving up the weed too. There can’t be any answers, just guesses to this. Sense the addictive nicotine isn’t found in in it are we even certain that it is addictive? Good luck and God Bless

Question by lkps: Should I have sex with my husband while he is in alcohol recovery?
I have just recently left my husband to give him space to deal with his alcoholism. He is on the right path, and we have a good goal, for him to stay at our old house, sober and in treatment for 6 months, when he can move in with me and our kids if he is still sober and in treatment of course. My question is, should we be “dating” and having sex and hanging out even thought we are in separate homes and are leading separate lives at this point?
I ask because we are on the same page, we have the same goal and he is willingly admitting and working on his problem – so I want to keep the connection between us alive and healthy while he is in treatment… is that right or wrong?

Why not, it will distract him from wanting to drink.
