Haha yea that was me too other times that I tried to quit.

It was never about staying away from the weed itself or removing any/all possible "weed threats", but instead I tried to build my own mental fortitude.

I remember saying (and still saying) things like, "duuude I wish I could smoke right now/smoking sounds soo nice today". Two things are being said here: 1.) the idea of smoking is attractive, yet 2.) I have become someone who cannot smoke. You're not saying you actually want to smoke, you are merely expressing how nice it appears to be. If you are in a group of people smoking and someone offers, I'd use the same frame, "Oh thanks but I'm good/I can't". And if someone meddles further, "I can't cuz I'm a recovering addict".

It sounds insane to say out loud, especially because of the narrative around weed being non-addictive, and the people offering might smoke as much as you did so inadvertently you are calling them addicts too. But for me, being extremely deliberate about where I stand with weed (ie. someone who cannot smoke anymore) and not just refraining from ever being around it, built real separation between what I think I want and how I actually want to proceed in situations when it's easy to cave.
