The rare nightmare was when I was sober
Weed is like being in a warm blanket lol impossible to have a nightmare
Also I’m pretty sure weed is now federally decriminalized in the US

Federally illegal still, but several states have legalized it anyways. For example my job doesn’t allow it and they drug test and if you fail it with any THC in your system they won’t hire you. Only because they go by Federal law on things like that not state, So, still faairly criminalized and several states have said no to medical and recreational

But, even if passed by the house, it can still be blocked and not become law. Still have a lot of war on drugs politicians that are highly against it. I am indifferent either way, but drugs like cocaine, meth, etc. that do serious harm and are highly addictive should stay illegal

Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Hallucinations and seizures are possible.
Group/family therapy is a good start. It is hard to care for someone that doesn’t care about themselves. Try to help understand that. Noone is an island. Explain concern a d show support.

I have flickers of dreams but the fidelity is turned way down, it’s one reason I smoke. I drowned as a kid and it leaves a mark in your dreams, no dreams are better then randomly being trapped in the water again.
It’s time for a intervention
Good on you for getting sober! Not many have the strength to do that!

That’s really good! I would also say depending on how long the alcoholism has been, he should get screened for possible liver damage, just to be safe. (no offense, just a pre-med student)

If he gets surly, don’t take anything he says personally. It’s just withdrawal talking.

Just remember that falling off doesn’t mean failing, if the expectation is that the person’s never going to have a bad day and f****** then they’re more likely to give up. I don’t mean to say they get a day to drink or anything like that.

Moderation is key

Agreed, moderation is key. I’ve never gotten drunk, most likely due to my parents teaching me that moderation is key and incidents with my aunt.
