2 weeks done!
Daily smoker for 5 years, started out as maybe a joint in the evening, quickly turned into a lot more, I started smoking to help with some MH Issues, and honestly it was sensational, I don’t know how but it just helped me out of some dark spots!
It then became the only thing I cared about, robbed me of all motivation and drive, all I wanted to do was get home, burn a joint and sit about doom scrolling / watching TV etc.
I fully acknowledge that I was misusing and I paid the price! A couple of weeks ago I had a moment of clarity, I smoked my last joint and that was that!
Best decision I ever made, I’m back training, eating better foods and not just binge eating after smoke, mentally I feel more like me again! Weed really changed my life but I’m glad I stopped abusing it!
I failed quitting so many times in last 6 months, and I’m not sure if I’ll abstain forever, but for now I’m glad I’ve stopped! For anyone on the fence go for it, it sucks those first few days but I found throwing myself into fitness burned me out so I was too tired to care! I don’t really have anyone that I can share this with and I’m pretty fucking proud, thought you guys might appreciate it!

Glad to hear! I was pretty much in the same situation. Got 2 weeks done. Withdraw was not too bad actually. I feel much better. I'm also not sure if I'll abstain forever, but I aim for at least one year. Stay strong!
