u have my prayers

Im like 6 days in feelin fine I don’t think I have had any problems surprisingly

What have been the biggest changes you feel?

keep it goin!

On day 7

thanks dawg

Being able to confront my problems and cope in healthier ways. Sleep is deeper, slightly more productive, and slightly less anxious in social situations but not by much lol

I didn’t smoke much growing up. Post covid I got into it heavy cuz I felt like s*** given my situation in life and used it as a form of escapism. At the time I didn’t think my relationship with smoking or taking edibles to be that deep and just looked at it as something to help me sleep better. Cutting it out was hard at first as the thoughts and anxiety I was tryna get away from hit me like a bus and I was forced to process them.

happy for you g

These night sweats are horrible I wonder how much longer I’ll have them

How long has it been so far?

Just take a break and only smoke socially

Its just weed

whats this supposed to mean? the sweating is terrible when u quit weed

Lol

Damn y'all must be smoking some strong ass s*** to have those withdrawals

everyone reacts differently to everything. it's not necessary to discredit another's lived experience.

today marks 21 days with a clear and delightful mind.

if you are itt and thinking of quitting, take it as a sign that you know you need at least a long break.

always amazed me how differently weed / addiction in general effects ppl. some ppl can drop their addictions with ease over the span of a month. others it is a battle.

the worst part of the withdrawals are the hypertraumatic slow motion vivid nightmares every night. f*** bro!

Chamomile tea with some honey and soak yourself or just your feet in some Epsom salt maybe a few times. It'll be calming as hell

don’t think I’ll ever stop

Sweats weren’t too bad last night hopefully that was the last of it

Still coughing up a ton of mucus when I wake up

Started class yesterday so I don’t really have any desire to smoke

Some thoughts from a former daily stoner:

The key, as others have said itt, is to practice setting a pattern that proves to you you can avoid full dependency. For me, going sober for a full year and a half just before and during the pandemic gave me a much needed foundation to build upon. I do recommend trying to give yourself a period of an indefinite t-break when you can, but absolutes are not helpful.

Today, I’m a weekend edible user and hold myself to a few rules to keep myself from falling into daily use again. Take these as subjective, but they work for me and I hope you can get inspired by them at least:

1. No smoking. This is personal, but I don’t prefer the high and feel much less in control. Plus, it’s worse for you, and the shorter high relative to an edible means I don’t have to plan a full evening around it and can get fast and loose easily knowing I’ll sober up in a few hours.

2. No getting high in daytime unless there’s a very specific event (festivals, camping, etc.) I want to be productive during the day, focusing on music, exercise, cleaning, etc. Speaking of…

3. Get high in a clean habitat. For me, that means literally cleaning the house first. It could also just mean clearing your to-do list. Regardless: set the pattern that getting high doesn’t happen until you finish what you need to do for yourself first.

4. Avoid tying weed to food as much possible. This one’s honestly tough, but it makes a huge difference when you’re abstaining. You’re literally training yourself to only enjoy food while high. It’s a sneaky one, but it’s important. And finally…

5. Be honest and compassionate with yourself. If you’re finding yourself mentally arguing to make an excuse to have a bowl on a day you intended not to the day before, forgive yourself but stay firm. Commit and pat yourself on the back when you stick to it. Build on those successes. Weed should serve you, not control you. If you need to make a change, make it and thank yourself for it. That’s a whole habit in and of itself worth forming.

11 days in clean this year. Still dealing w withdrawals (anxiety and lack of appetite). But damn I'm getting way more done and feel FREE

Finished my last bowl two nights ago, I'm in it with you all I don't think my physical withdrawal symptoms are ever bad when I quit, my dreams do become crazy detailed though
