Just got to keep focussed and honest with yourself about how weed was really making you feel, not remembering all the really good times from weed but remembering some of the lowest points from the years of abusing weed. I've smoked everyday for over 20+ years but recently decided to quit. Went 11 months first time but had a relapse and smoked a ounce over three weeks but now I'm 6 months weed free. It does get easier with time though,be truly honest about the fact that weed isn't beneficial anymore really helps aswell. With me it just stopped working and wasn't even making me feel happy or good smoking anymore. Keep going it takes time but time is all we have.
Thanks for the advice, I think an addict’s brain has a tricky way of only remembering the super great parts of our addictions. That’s a great reminder whenever we have those creeping thoughts of going back but “regulating” this time
Thank you so much for sharing your story! That really is great advice. Congratulations on six months and 11 months! I’m really proud of you. Continue to check in and fill me in on your journey
hell yeah man, im currently at 1 month and 18 days and feel absolutely great. this is one of the longest times i have gone in sooo long. i love to hear you're still going strong. also, the production quality in your videos is getting so good! i can tell you're gonna go far.
My grandma never smoked weed but did heroine once. She told me when I was a teenager. Her sister was addicted to heroine and she did it with her once. My grandma fortunately didn't liked it, got her sick she said.
Day 5!! Stomach issues were awful yesterday, it was a splitting headache today but feeling so good mentally already, its insane. I had to get a sleeping aid from the doctor so sleep isnt a issue thus far.
Also, eating. I managed two cheese triangles on day 2, day 3 I had 2 boiled eggs but already getting the appetite back. I also woke up not groggy this morning. Thank you for what you're doing. ❤
One day at a time! Just remember, you are currently in the most difficult stage, and it will only get easier from here! I’m incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to hear more of your story. The people around you will be so grateful! Keep up the good work!
To be honest it's helped my relationships with my family as I could never interact with them while i was using weed as they are strictly against it, but it's also brought out some underlying issues in my relationship with them that are not weed related. My productivity hasn't gone up necessarily and I am still struggling with mental health issues so I would say I am disappointed that quitting has not been a fix all solution in that area. I am happy that I no longer need a substance to have a good day, and that my family no longer perceive me as a criminal, but I still do find myself craving something in the evening to escape my mental health difficulties and internal discomfort. All in all, I'm happy I am no longer a prisoner to weed, but I am disappointed sometimes that my life has not seen a drastic or sudden improvement, and I am coming to terms with the fact that it is perhaps more of a gradual less noticeable improvement that comes with giving up any substance.@@Quittingtogether
