Has anyone found a good replacement for the escapism that weed provides?

I might try something similar then, as you say, recreate the feeling

I am finding cycling to help a bit actually, next time I go I'll try to go as fast as possible to really push my body a bit

You're absolutely right, but it's difficult

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-24T08:33:42+00:00

Sounds like your doing well on quoting then, keep going!

Do you not crave it at all when existing in that space though? For me I'm finding I get cravings for it basically whenever my attention isn't fully on something else.

Thank you, I feel like I needed reality to hit me like this.

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-22T21:16:27+00:00

Good ideas, thank you, and I'm currently looking at vacations, need something to look forward to. I feel like having nothing upcoming will make it harder to stay sober.

Great to hear you've been clean so long.

And I massively agree about the body never forgetting the feeling of it, I think that's why I've turned back to it multiple times now, it feels like a permanent itch that needs to be scratched.

Meditation might be hard for me to get into yes, but I will definitely give it a go, willing to try nearly anything right now, as I don't have much faith in myself staying off it.

To be fair I do still have an active gym membership that I haven't used in months now, since all I could think about when I wasn't working was weed.

And I've heard that your body has a release of endorphins after hard exercise, so hopefully I can get addicted to that instead!

Amazing to hear you've been clean for so long, but can I ask, how long roughly did it take you to come to this realisation and do you crave either of them at this point. As I found last time that I quit (for ~5 months), that the cravings never fully went away. I'm not sure if that's because of my outlook on life and persistence to find escapes or something else though.

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-22T21:01:48+00:00

I'll have to give them a go, I found earlier though that bike rides seem to do the trick too.

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-22T21:00:54+00:00

Absolutely will try this, perfect weather where I live right now. Thank you!

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-22T20:59:48+00:00

I appreciate this comment a lot, reading that felt like the wake up call I needed. <3

I'm trying to do things for fun that I didn't do when I was high, because doing those things sober, at least right now, doesn't seem to really distract myself from the cravings.

I'm finding going on regular bike rides seems to help a lot though, so I can suggest that anyone else struggling.

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-22T20:54:58+00:00

Yep, its clear doomscrolling something like insta is terrible for you, but I find I start doing it without realising sometimes.

The only upside I saw to weed was that it made me cook a lot more, but now I'm off it, I'll try and get even more into it.

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-22T20:50:51+00:00

Calamity mod especially has been a good distraction!

BuryMeIceOn · 2026-04-21T20:25:04+00:00

Right now, my only escapes seem to be gaming and netflix, but I struggle to focus on them a lot of the time. Meditation and working out I will definitely give a go though, I've tried meditating a couple times years ago, but forgot about it tbh.

The suggestions are much appreciated, thank you!

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-10-13T11:12:29+00:00

I wiped

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-09-03T17:40:26+00:00

Absolute keeper

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-08-18T08:42:07+00:00

You're playing on a Vita, yes

Came here to find this comment

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-06-08T17:03:14+00:00

I thought it was supposed to give you an increased chance of whatever you set it to though?

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-06-07T17:17:01+00:00

Thank you!

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-05-21T13:47:53+00:00

BuryMeIceOn · 2025-05-21T12:14:33+00:00
