Relapesed Last Night

[Guest Leigh]

so, i've had some problems with binge drinking and mixing drugs with alcohol since i was in high school... it was a really big problem last summer, and so i cut back on my drinking a lot. and haven't be using any drugs for a while (except pot, which i do fine with, if i'm just smoking pot...). anyway, i started drinking again, but it was just a little for a while. i wasn't even getting drunk. but then last night i had some drinks with my co-workers after we got off, and i was fairly wasted. then we decided to go smoke some weed, and i got the spins really bad.. anyway, i vomited, and had a nasty headache. so i guess i have to give up alcohol again. which is fine, but it's kind of frustrating becasue i thought i was ok.

just thought i'd put this out here.

peace&love

Noble, Sweetie,

I think that you might just want to put the alcohol away again and I'm not altogether sure that youa re realy helping yourself with the pot either.

I haven't researched its effects on transitioning but I do seem to remember that consistant users (bio males) tend to develop feminine breasts (Looked at any recent pictures of Willie Nelson?)

take care of your self or you won't be healthy enough to transition.

Love ya,

Momma Sally

Hon, the fact that you think you have a substance abuse problem, indicates that you might have one. I am not going to tell you what to do, you are your own person. I simply suggest that you consider your goals and how substance abuse (illegal substances too) can hinder your progress towards your goals. Sweetie, it is OK to have a good time with some friends and let off some steam, but when it starts to get chronic or excessive, you may want to consider some assistance.

Always thinking of you

Exactly right!!! Have had problems in the past with an occasional Night On The Town...but the key word is occasional and that is fine...put away the pot it screws up you linear thought process and logical thought comes in so handy in daily life...keep your night out on the town or binging to twice a year some believe that it is a strees buster and good for the soul,,but moderation, moderation my dear NobleLight love to you Mia

Good advice from all. Moderation is okay.

BUT let me add - alcohol interfers with your liver in processing hormones. So you out there on T or estorogen - not the best idea to drink in excess!

And alcohol can age your skin. Especially if you smoke cigarettes at the same time.

Just a few points.

I went through a period of alcohol and drugs. I don't do any of it now. The drinking and being high dulled my instincts and I couldn't read people...I felt vulnerable around others. Cigarettes are bad news if you're on HRT. And my surgeon said smoking would interfere with my healing and especially the scars wouldn't heal as well. That was it for me! No way was I going to spend all that money only to ruin it because I smoked. Maybe pot is different than cigarettes, but one of my best friends turned chronic and she turned into a big flake. She also gained a bunch of weight.

Weed makes you grow breasts? Never heard that one before.

It'll be weird for me to give you an advice on this obviously lol so I'll just say that you are in my prayers. I hope you are feeling better now, Noblelight.

Maybee she gained weight from having the munchies when she was high!!
