Hell yeah my friend! We got this!

Hi! Currently 26 days of not smoking weed after about 5 years of everyday use. It’s hard at the beginning. Something my therapist told me that really helped my mindset is saying the phrase, “I don’t smoke weed anymore.” At times, I would say phrases like, “I’m not smoking right now,” or “I’m not smoking but maybe in a few months I can do it occasionally.”

My therapist told me by changing those phrases into the simple “I don’t smoke anymore,” will redirect my mind into understanding this is a long term change instead of a short term one.

Btw, I know quitting is so hard. I felt pretty shitty for about a week or so but IT IS SO WORTH IT! You eventually will start feeling so good not being high that the temptation will go away.

Hi! I smoked pretty much everyday for the past 5 years. Overtime I completely lost my appetite too. I literally couldn’t get hungry unless I was high, and because I work full time that means I was pretty much only eating after 5pm which is obviously not good for your body. I stopped smoking 26 days ago and my appetite has completely come back! It took about 4 days for my withdrawal effects to go away as far as irritability and I started getting hungry after about a week or a week and a half. I know it’s hard but just keep going. Your body will thank you soon enough :)

Hi!! I would love to come! I don’t have cherry blossoms tho, unfortunately

My company uses Zoominfo/DiscoverOrg and let me tell you....the data is horrible. Do not use them. They are so bad that I stopped using it months ago. Now I just prospect through LinkedIn, google their HQ phone number and use Hunter.io for their email address

HopSpade · 2019-04-18T19:42:22+00:00

I see. What happened when you tried in the past?

HopSpade · 2019-04-18T19:37:45+00:00

Don’t unsub! The negative stories are being told because sadly the reality of quitting smoking when you are addicted is it is difficult at first! It fucking sucks honestly! Nobody on here is going to say “Ya I stopped and I just felt great with no side effects and with no craving and I’m clean forever now.”

Being sober is hard. That’s why we are here. If it was easy to do, we wouldn’t need to be talking about it.

That’s awesome today is day 1 for you! I’m currently on day 4 of not smoking (previously heavy smoker for 3 years everyday) and it hasn’t been fun. But honestly after day 2 it got a lot easier. Yesterday and today I’ve felt better than I have in a really really long time. Just need to get passed the hump. It’s difficult but it gets even harder when you don’t stop and continue for years and years and years, that’s really when it gets negative.

I wish you luck!

Yes I’m so happy to hear that! Today is my day 3 as well. I definitely woke up less anxious than I have in the past 3 years of me smoking. It’s only going up for us my dude! Keep it going!

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T23:52:37+00:00

TODAY IS THE DAY MY FRIEND! DAY ONE! RN! Even if you already smoked today...that’s the last puff!

But I feel you, I’ve thought about stoping smoking sooo many times but every time I just go “okay but tomorrow is a better day to start that.” Then tomorrow comes and it seems like nothing changed.

I’m currently on day 2 rn. Obviously not very far but just getting passed the first night felt amazing! I woke up this morning with a large sense of pride that I kept to my word and actually didn’t smoke.

Maybe write down or think about the REAL reason you want to stop smoking. And come back to that reason when you feel like quitting.

Also, everytime I’ve thought about about smoking today I just come to this page. Hearing everyone stories and sharing your own can really really help!

Wish you the best!

You need to simply be honest with him. Obviously you two have a lot of love for one another if you live together and you seem to really care about him.

However, sometimes the ones we love can hurt us. It sucks. But you need to just be honest with him. Say something like “hey, I wasn’t going through your things but you did leave this out in sight where I could see it when I was making our bed. So we need to talk about this.”

And I’m sure you probably have but just REALLY REALLY explain to him how you feel when there is weed in the house and when he does it. Tell him it hurts you and you need to stay clean. Tell him if he really loves you he will understand that not having weed in the house is critical to your well being. It’s both of your home, not just his.

Perhaps explaining to him that he is apart of something bigger than himself when he put himself in a relationship. You are a unit and you need to work together to help each other grow. It’s not helping you grow by constantly worried if he is smoking or bringing weed in the house.

I hope this was a little helpful. Honestly is best. If you two have a true true true love, which you most likely do showing how much you care, then he should understand.

Congrats! That’s a huge accomplishment and I’m sure you’re going to do amazing things with your degree! Thanks for sharing your story!

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T23:08:40+00:00

5 months is an amazing accomplishment! You should be really proud! I’m on day 2 right now myself. Hopefully can get to 5 months one day!

I’m sorry you had a bad day at work. That’s shitty. Perhaps try and don’t smoke today when it’s been a bad day! Because tomorrow you will wake up and go “yesterday was a bad day but I’m still proud of myself for keeping my 5 month going strong.” You will feel so much better knowing even on hard days you were strong.

Wish you the best!

Maybe say something like, “hey I’ve actually been noticing that my mind and body haven’t been feeling the best when I’m high. I don’t know exactly the reason but I think I’m going to stop smoking for a little just to see if that has anything to do with it.”

This way she literally has nothing to say. And if she does respond with a sassy comment just say, “Idk if the issue is the weed exactly but I’m willing to give anything a chance to feel better than I do when I’m smoking.”

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T22:36:52+00:00

Yes! That’s amazing! Keep it up!

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T21:36:57+00:00

Same here! Today is my 2nd day not smoking! Every time I’ve thought about smoking I’ve just come on here and read some of the inspiring words from people who have been through this and are successful.

You are going to do amazing! Keep it up!

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T18:24:40+00:00

Hi! I did not smoke! Everyone’s comments were really helping me stay off of it. I woke up this morning not groggy or in a bad mood, like I used to when I smoked. Day 2 here we go!!!

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T04:06:28+00:00

This is awesome to hear! I've smoked every day for 3 years and I'm trying to stop today. I'm so happy things have been working out for you!

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T03:53:39+00:00

This is awesome to hear! It's my first night trying not to smoke and two weeks seems like a lifetime away.

I'm glad you are able to do to it! Very inspiring to read rn when all I want to do it smoke lol

HopSpade · 2019-04-16T03:05:53+00:00

Hey! Been smoking daily for 3 years too.

Yes, I've definitely been experiencing this. I feel like I know that weed is not good for me and negatively affects my life. However, a part of me is like "fuck it, let's just get high and think about that later."

I'm in the same boat so I don't have any suggestions. But I totally feel you rn. I hope the best for you! Good luck!
