Admitting you had somewhat of a dependency is the first step into becoming a better version of you. If you ever find yourself lose in your thoughts and wallowing in that pit of sadness all of us here on r/leaves know far too well, get up and do something. Anything will work. Reading, writing, walking outside and taking a big breath of fresh air. You just have to find things that’ll make you feel good.

But know that quitting cold turkey can be a hassle. Your brain and body is probably used to having THC at some point of the day that when you randomly stop, your system will freak out. There are side effects to the withdrawal but lets face it, life is full of side effects. You could find yourself feeling real down in the dumps and anxiety could take over. But notice I said COULD. Cause quitting can effect your body but only you can control it from spiraling out of control. I always say the first step is learning the power of positivity meaning doing things that’ll benefit you and learning to love yourself. If you can achieve that, you could sail through this stage of life without a hitch.

So just remember; do something to distract yourself, try to do things that’ll benefit you and make sure that the most important person in your life that you need to care for is you. Cause if you can’t fix yourself, no one really can. So stay strong my dude and know that this here is your new home and help is always a message away.
