I’m disappointed in myself but I’m going to a next party this weekend just to prove that I can rise above the influence. I know it sounds silly but I want to be out and be able to not drink around drinkers. I didn’t even enjoy the beer 🥲

Weed interferes with my dream recollection. Alot of my downloads come through my dreams to help me navigate through this false matrix so I don't do weed. Alcohol creates holes in our auric field and allows other entities to penetrate so I don't do alcohol either. I feel mentally sharp without alcohol, weed, etc. I love, love, love making herbal teas and learning their spiritual uses. For instance, garlic is very spiritual and can subdue malevolent entities. Hibiscus tea is good for attracting love. Rosemary, bay leaves, and cloves, protect us from evil, etc. etc.

[@quilluntouchableentity2034]

For real. I agree, i used to dream and i used to dream while being aware of it. When i started smoking i couldnt recall any of my dreams anymore

[@quilluntouchableentity2034]

For these reasons i want to quit smoking. God speaks to me and gives me revelations about myself and my future in dreams, and im blocked by that right now because of weed.

[@tangerinemelody222]

@@quilluntouchableentity2034 You got this! I won't lie, weed and alcohol were never my vices. Sugar is. When I was told in a dream to let it go in order to elevate further in my journey, I took steps to remove it. This was is and is my biggest challenge. Each day gets easier though. Just take baby steps until you get to a place of power. Remember that you are the sole proprietor of your energy. You alone command your energy - not weed or any entity outside of yourself.

[@victoriaj4272]

Allegedly, alcohol IS sugar. At least the body breaks it down into sugar. For folks whose body easily becomes addicted to sugar, alcohol is allegedly THE worst. For some folks they will have to remove sugar from their diets entirely in order to be successful at remaining sober. My POV is anecdotal but I also remember reading a book years ago that alluded to this. I can't remember the title but it was on removing sugar (white, refined) from your diet. Difficult, but a much needed discussion.

[@MSSHARIII]

[@CerseiLannister999]

Rite on. The white sugar is as dangerous as religion to blk folks... Red wine is ok.

[@BrittanyBrown-td3rt]

Alcohol is: 1. A depressant 2. Full of sugar & carbs 3. expensive ( $300 bottles in the club and $20 mixed drinks) Weed is: 1. Unpure (“stepped on”…IKYKY) 2. A depressant

Weed keeps you from becoming the "Master" of self and smoking weed give the weed to control your ability to manage the human experience of emotions ( energy in motions) ....which is the main purpose of our soul experience the human body.

[@Millennialhome]

Interesting. There’s also a theory that expounds on that mechanism explaining why empaths tend to gravitate towards it. It’s because they have an overactive heart chakra and the smoke acts as an artificial barrier.

Yes, I have Damiana in my kitchen cabinet now. I make tea with it. Calms my nerves. I use chamomile too. According to google Damiana is a wild shrub that grows in Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. The leaf and stem are used to make medicine. Historically, it was used mostly to increase sexual desire (as an aphrodisiac). Damiana is used to treat headache, bedwetting, depression, nervous stomach, and constipation; for prevention and treatment of sexual problems; boosting and maintaining mental and physical stamina; and as an aphrodisiac. Some people inhale damiana for a slight "high.”

Instead we need to surround ourselves with nature instead of the club. Instead of food we need water instead of music you need vibration frequency energy you can use weed but not inhale it that's too much intoxication for one brain to tolerate and be stable instead of liquor you need rubbing alcohol to have strong bones I know people ain't going to believe this because I said it's so easily and freely.
