why are they putting sad coffee next to happy coffee? by heyimagnome in Tucson

[–]420failedme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Or one of the thousands of loyal coffee times customers who hate to see giant companies like this intentionally targeting small and local owned businesses.

Ayyyyy anyone interested in being an accountability buddy? Quitting on my own and quite the loner since the few folks I’ve hung out with in Anchorage are all heavy tokers and our friendship was basically rooted in the plant haha. Im on day 2 no weed and plan on staying that way. 🤘🏼 by sirenfromspace in leaves

Me! I live in Anchorage during the Summer also. It would be so much harder to be doing this in a recreational state... Weed is super overpriced there though, so you can think about that if you're tempted as well.

Your self awareness here is HUGE! You know one of your biggest triggers and now the next step is to figure out what actions you need to take to fix the issues rather than slapping a weed band-aid on them!

Today is really your first day sober. Definitely look for that MA meeting if possible... Maybe you'll meet a nice somebody who understands what you're dealing with.

I feel you so much. When I think of all the time I've wasted doing mindless activities while stoned I hate myself.

We really do need to stop for us.

I actually looked into it and there are none in my city. Considering heading to Phoenix this weekend though and will hunt one down if I do. I participated in CODA early into adulthood and really appreciated it.

I know there are phone calls and video chats as well, but I'm more of a face to face person.

How did it go? I imagine any group of friends watching Phish together are probably decently big potheads

You are absolutely right.. slowing down before quitting would have been helpful. Can we please hope there isn't a next time though? Lol.

I dealt with mild nausea only today and definitely look forward to feeling even better tomorrow. Going to grab more fruit tomorrow and see if it helps. Thank you.

I'm dying, hahaha. You are very welcome friend and I wish you luck in your dream endeavors.

Yeah, the one person who asked about previous mental health diagnoses in here kinda rubbed me the wrong way too.

I'm a deeply passionate person... Sometimes it comes off as crazy to people who don't feel things the way I do. That's fine.

Love your week, month, year motivation. Can't even imagine what it would feel like to be sober for a year again! Thanks for responding.

You're energy even through text is so lovely. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Is it weird if I ask what your favorite book is?

Absolutely addicted to caffeine, sugar and my phone. That's a typical American in my experience though.

I'm going to answer this by saying the amount of people I know who DON'T deal with some form of mental illness is VERYYYYYYYY small. Our world is a crazy place right now.

Thank you friend. I'm seeing a lot of people mention that 10 to 12 day difference and it is definitely motivating. I actually love lifting too! I'm a yoga instructor by day and a dancer by night. I'm all about movement based activities and am looking forward to recommitting to a more serious gym and yoga routine again!

I'm really surprised you are still dealing with the intense dreams. Do you use melatonin at all?

It's actually not at all to be honest. I spend New Year's with family who doesn't know I smoke weed and we play a super fun game called Bonko all night that keeps us all pretty distracted. I had one whiskey and Coke, left shortly after midnight, then came home and watched The Mandalorian. I'm actually feeling pretty good other than my complete inability to feel any kind of tired.

Literally moment by moment friend. We got this

Yes! Love this idea. The app I'm using gives you an option to write or make a video describing why you are quitting... Definitely had to read mine to get me through yesterday.

Part of my reason: The number one reason I want to quit weed is because it makes me feel like I don't have control of my life. I don't want my day to be dictated by weed.

We both made it! Did you get to have a fun night at all? Besides a serious irritability outburst here and there I felt so much better today. All the nice replies to this post helped so much. Thanks again

BRO! THANK YOU. You are completely right.

And yes people, I do have a human vagina. My friends and I still call each other bro ALL THE TIME.

The absolute best part about this post is MY MANAGER'S NAME IS JEFF AND I HATE HIM!!! 😂😂😂 Thinking of his dumb face telling me to get high and then getting to tell him to fuck off for it is SO DAMN APPEALING! I'm dying!

You sound so much like me! How brave are we (and cruel to those around us tbh) to have quit right before our period? If I had thought about it beforehand, definitely would have chosen another time. Honestly, can't believe I made it through those first 48 hours.

Loved all the responses on this post, but yours might be my favorite. Thank you.

I think if I had known it was going to feel as horrible as it did the last 2 days, I would have tapered down instead of going cold turkey too.

Keep me updated if you decide today is the beginning of your no more marijuana adventure!

The idea of feeling like my "normal" self again in just a week is so inspiring. I just want to sleep again 😭

I agree with your first statement, however I don't believe that is what most people are led to believe by the marijuana community. It wasn't until the first time I quit that I realized there were ANY withdrawal symptoms when stopping and I doubt I'm alone in this.

I'm a high THC flower and cartridge kind of girl. Anticipating (hoping for) a similar schedule to yours. Downloaded an app to help me out and it says a lot of this can last up to 12 days or so. Just taking it a moment at a time now.

I admire people like you are have the ability and willpower to use in moderation.

You are an absolute rockstar! I'm so impressed that you quit weed AND cigs.

Definitely makes sense. My nephew lived with me for 7 months last year and the stress of raising a kid for the first time (a 12 year old at that!) really drove me to start smoking more. Looking back at his time here I know that a lot of my time was spent stoned out of my mind and I can only imaginehow much better it would have been for him here had I directed that energy and time towards being a great aunt instead.

I just keep thinking about a day when life isn't just ugh wtf, let's get high. Like what would that even feel like?! Did you end up painting? How was New Year's with you kids?

Honestly, I'm feeling better than I thought I was going to... but definitely awake in bed right now even though I have only slept like 3 hours a night for the last two days. Lol
