August 8th – Six Months Clean
“Do not be discouraged, none of us are saints. Our program is not easy, but it is simple. We strive for progress, not perfection. Our experiences, before and after we entered recovery, teach us three important ideas: That we are marijuana addicts and cannot manage our own lives; That probably no human power can relieve our addiction; and That our Higher Power can and will, if sought.”
– How It Works, Life with Hope, third edition, page 193
Today, I am six months clean of marijuana. I never thought I’d make it here. I am thankful for my recovery and appreciative of my own work, but I also acknowledge that it wouldn’t be possible without this program and this fellowship. Six months clean; this seemed entirely unbelievable to me less than six months ago. The transformative power of Marijuana Anonymous, of the Twelve Steps, and of the fellowship are what made it possible. It makes the unbelievable possible; that’s why I keep coming back.
Final thought: Today, recovery means being surrounded by people who love me, shelter, employment, and my sanity.

By Ras M. of District 27 I used to smoke to stop time. I just needed a pause – from the oncoming crazy, and my subsequent flooding of anxiety. Of course, there would be the crazy again, 5 hours later. When I stopped smoking, I found it challenging to fill large chunks of time in…
