Off-Topic Electric lettuce

I understand that I'm not strong enough to control it.

Kudos to you for having this mindset. Many don't.
Kettlebell Strong right?

Very well said. It's nice to see someone be so self aware and not just give in to something.

I'm one of those that cannot get off the couch. I do it shortly before bed and only after all of the adult stuff for the day is done.

Do I want to partake every night? Yep.

Do I? Far from it.

@offwidth cheers mate. Only took a few decades to get that mindset & yes kettlebell strong. Being able to train everyday without injury gives me something else to focus on, I now look forward to s&s instead of drugs & alcohol. The best part is now my 6yr old son watches his dad train every afternoon rather than drinking & smoking so I'm setting a positive pattern for him aswell which is what I'm most proud of.
@MattM to be honest if I had more self control with it mate I'd be where you are at. I really did see a lot of benefits from occasional use, better sleep (have back injury) & better recovery from training (no scientific evidence just my experience). Ruptured a disc & herniated another 16yrs ago, pot got me off strong painkillers helped appetite when I couldn't eat & aided in a better sleep.

I used to use it too much, and it's helped me really mess up parts of my life on a couple of occasions, so now I keep it at an arm's length.

I have two (semi-redundant) rules for myself: (1) I never smoke alone, and (2) I never buy it.

I have good friends who like to smoke, and I still like it too, so I only ever smoke with those guys when we can. (Always throw them some money or a brew, as I hate being a mooch about anything.)

Edited to say: "Electric lettuce" is the best name I've ever heard for it, so thanks for that @HUNTER1313
