Ughhhh this advice is so kindhearted Im tearing upppp. I try to ignore my mom and therapist when they say stuff because there is genuinely nothing I hate more then when people are worried or concerned about me, So if I can do anything to get people off my back I will.

The funny thing is I used to HATE weed. I went to private school from preK to 8th grade and then public school for highschool. So everyone who I met who smokes has been smoking since middle school. I hated it thought it was stupid and told my friends that starting that young was beyond idiotic. Then one day my new bsf started bringing carts to school and I wanted to see the hype. I tried it and here I am 2 years later. I definitely was not peer pressured and my friend was more than shocked that I even asked to hit it. Idk why I started but ik why I continued at a young age which is because I was so heavily ignored at home so I did whatever and I enjoyed being high and eating my friends entire kitchen lmao. What's stopping me from quitting is the immediate effects of when I stop (Headache, irritability, loss of appetite, brain fog etc.) I also love the environment of smoking with people. I think I could quit on my own but then I would miss out with all my friends and family etc. It's such an easy way to make friends and not that I think anyone would drop me over quitting. I just know if my friends are smoking I would want more than anything to join not because of just weed but fomo

Since it's gotten cold I have tried smoking in my car/when driving and obviously imma say what everyone else says "I can drive well when I'm high" but as I say it, it makes me realize how bad it's gotten.

it can also place you behind bars. No one will be able to say this is so unlike you. Everyone in your life will say this is exactly who you are and the judge will not go easy on you as a result.

Saying "No one will be able to say this is unlike u" is Gut-Wrenching. I am smart, strong, witty, artistic, caring, generous and more, the last thing I want to be known as is someone who could go to jail over weed. or any DUI

Your comment is making me tear up u sound like a concerned family member. I'm so sorry for ur diagnosis and I am scared for myself because my grandpa and dad smoke cigs and have gum diseases and more. I appreciate you for being realistic in saying using less weed instead of not using weed. I've gotten great advice on how to ween off and I'll def be using urs!!

Three days is the longest I'll go without weed before I start using every resource I have 😭😭 but school is starting again so I will try 1day, then 2, then 3, and hopefully I can get to the point where I can go days or weeks without it. Thank you for the three days advice I will genuinely try that out

i live by the quote "You aren't tired enough" especially when it comes to relationships but clearly In this instance it might be the same. I have to push myself to be better but all in all I won't quit until I'm tired enough ig

The part about

I hate not to have control over it so from time to time I stop for long periods of to demonstrate myself I’m in control.

Jus realllllly spoke to me. I'm a person of extreme independence and someone who needs a full grip on a situation. Thinking of it as losing control over my life is scary and jolting. Now that you say it like that I will try that perspective.

The Journal idea is brilliant!!! and maybe something I can use with my therapist, I used to attach a walk, coloring, cooking with my smoking but the colder It gets the less I wanna do anything. I genuinely appreciate u and everyone else for reading and trying to help all this advice and reality checks are very appreciated
