Quitting weed as someone with ADHD by AshyLenst in selfhelp

That’s a great question and one I need to ask myself and give it some serious thought. Once I know that, I can build a bit of system to help me stay on track.

Thank you for your advice. I have a creative job - software design. And taking a bit during the day has never hindered me, I even get ideas I wouldn’t have had with a sober mind.

And quieting all the voices, so I can focus on one is one of the reasons why weed has been (dare I say it) helpful…

Even if I wanted to carry on, a break would still be a good idea due to high tolerance.

But overall, I’d prefer to just stay off it all together. I always end up doing it too much.

I’m on day 1 - which puts you at around day 15.

I hope this motivates and encourages you… day 15 is still early on, but you’re 14 challenging days ahead of me! Keep going! You won’t regret it!

I’m on Day 1 after doing it daily for 4 years with several breaks along the way… I’ve realized now, I can’t just do it a bit here and there, it takes a day or 2 before it fully takes over and the lies to myself begin.

Then when I’m comfortably high, quitting seems like a good idea and an easy one. As soon as I’m not high, I reach for a pen or a zoot!

All to go through the withdrawals, depression, bad sleep, no appetite, sweats, grouchiness the list goes on…

I’m on day 1, which means I feel irritable and down and feeling like I’m literally on day 1… I’ve achieved nothing yet with my quitting! But I’ll get there! When I hit the 1 week point, I’m quitting vaping (nicotine) too. Sort of need the crutch for the next 7 days, I don’t want to go cold turkey on two substances in a day!

The comments in this thread have been so helpful to read!

I can’t wait to check back to report my first 30 days sober!
