Knowing i purposefully missed out on things for the sake of weed is a big driver.
I don’t want to miss anything, I want to be able to enjoy life as is 🥲

Funnily enough that’s how I’ve been doing it, I quit cigarettes at the beginning of the year, that sort of mild NLP/ easyway thinking really helps me push through the cravings.

Also being real, the shame, the smell outing you to your non partaking friends.

Actually looking forward to that feeling of never wanting to go back so bad 🥺
Right now I just keep telling myself the symptoms start all over again if I smoke now.
Thanks man, hope I can make it as far as you have 🫶

Day 3 of quitting weed, day 1 of bluesky 🥲
Very comforting weirdness as it makes me think my weirdness will return, hoping in droves 💅🏻

Unbelievably comforting to see on day 3

The overwhelming dread that it might only get worse for a while is, quite literally, a sobering thought.

I was either too high to do something or needed to get high before I did something-weed became a built in excuse for my PDA lacking the creativity of my previous excuses🥲
However the physical symptoms of withdrawal are WILD and as someone who barely copes with feeling well feeling ill is a nightmare

On the one hand not being high is making it easier for me to use coping mechanisms I was taught in CBT. It’s also made me realise how my heavy chronic use of the last two years really affected how I cope with demands. Once my usage became heavy it just made demands easier to avoid-

I’m quitting weed.
It’s been 3 days and I’ve signed up to bluesky to give me something to do.
Appetite- who’s she?
Sleep- I don’t know her
Sweats- Jesus Christ I’ve never sweat so much from so little
In terms of how it’s effecting the demand avoidance- very odd.
