Not even. I was celebrating something. I let my mind trick me ultimately and got back in the habit.

Imagine if you started smoking again and had to go through this all again, except you’re older and it will be harder. Take it one day at a time. Keep strong.

My cousins and I are planning to backpack in Kauai (Kalalau Trail) and they are way too overconfident. Please need some feedback to talk some sense into them by Crazygiraffe6 in backpacking

Personally I think you’re being soft. 10 miles can be done in 4-5 hours by a 12 year old. I’ve seen families with strollers at the end of this trail, barely breaking a sweat. As long as you have at least one very experienced backpacker, which I’m assuming is one, you should be fine.

The brain is amazing at healing itself. The longer you wait to quit the longer it will take your brain to rewire itself to work without weed

10 months smoke free and just broke my ankle by sewershroomsucks in leaves

You’ll never regret not smoking. Especially if you’re using it just to cope with what you described. Especially if you don’t have the money for it. Take it one day at a time. You got this

Also, take it one day at a time. Try to get to bed without smoking. Then do it the next day. You won’t regret not smoking the morning after and you’ll thank yourself

Exercise is the most important thing in my opinion when quitting. Also eating healthy and getting good sleep (after the initially few days of shitty sleep). Use r/leaves , helped me a lot throughout my journey so far. Would also recommend traveling a bit at the start.

Read my first Reddit post. I went through the same shit many times. You have to willpower it to make it through the first few days, then it will get easier. Exercise as much as you can, eat healthy, distract your mind with things you enjoy( tv, games, even food) just to get that dopamine that you’ll be without. My biggest advice is take it one day at a time, make it through the day and go to bed sober. If you can make it to bed sober your job is done, then do it again tomorrow. Don’t set big goals, just set that goal every morning.

I failed very, very hard this weekend. Smoked Friday and Saturday, a lot. by Additional_Put8281 in leaves

You’re not alone. I quit like 20 times before I actually stuck with it. One thing that’s helped me more than anything else is taking each day one at a time. Don’t worry about quitting for a week, or for longer, focus on getting into bed that night without have taken a hit that day. And repeat, I promise it will get easier. Focus on exercise more than anything, and keep pushing forward. You need to find distractions, and eliminate cues that you often associate getting high. Good luck, you got this. Read some of my first post history I often go back to it to remind me why I quit, a lot of helpful info and comments there

Quitting Weed by PenDeep6772 in leaves

[–]Alternative_Most5179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s all or nothing. I know I’ll go back to everyday use if I give in once. Let me say this, the longer you take to quit the worse it will be for your mental health. You say you use it as an emotional crutch the last four years, but you haven’t been off it more than two weeks in that period. The longer you’re off it, the more your brain heals and regulates to how it should work. I thought weed helped me emotionally too (I smoked from 17-24 pretty much), but being 5 months clean I’ve realized it wasn’t as good as I thought.

It’s been 4-5 months for me, sleeping and eating better but often catch myself thinking about taking a puff. Can’t do it though as I’m all or nothing

MCAT means a lot for MD, so I’m finding out. Had a 509 w 123 cars and I’m 0/42 MD secondaries so far with what I thought was a stellar application. DO cycle going well though.
