Coping with total sobriety
Alcohol & Drug Addiction Support / by CoughingTiger8862

...See more I'm an ex alcoholic/meth/heroin addict. I've been mostly drug free besides marijuana for over 6 years now. Marijuana helps me in a number of ways that I used to take medications before, such as sleeping, depression, pain management etc. I found out last week that in order to start treating my hepatitis c, I have to have a clean ua. Today is the last day I have of smoking. This is kind of a bad time to stop as I have recently lost a few friends to OD/suicide, and I have been generally depressed for the first time in a few years. I know the treatment is important though, and that it's worth quitting weed for a little while. Anybody have any advice for me about coping with my depression while completely sober? I'm thinking about seeing a counselor or therapist, but I live in a small community, and I'm not sure how soon I could get an appointment or whether I can afford it at the moment.
