    Default raw food and alcohol/ciggarettes/drugs

    i am wondering if any one has gone raw but continued to drink or smoke or do drugs.
    did you still notice a difference with eating raw foods? did the drugs/alocohol affect you more or less ?

    I did continue to occasionally take alcohol long after I went raw but found that I could take less as time went by and even on less the day after was a wasted day.
    I can not afford to waste any more days.
    There is sufficient in the world for man's need, but not for his greed.

    i continued to smoke for almost a year after i went raw . it really did effect me . i was always getting sick . i caught bronchittis while raw b/c of smoking . and drinking was slowly adding the weight back on . it also caused a lot of cravings to surface and it was very hard to ignore them . i ended up falling back to vegan and my body said heck no and refuse to allow me to have anything cooked inside of me . meaning if it wasnt raw , i threw it up . dont do it . i dont recommend it . quiting and detoxing all of that stuff is so much better for u . good luck to u .
