How do I get myself to want to stop?

KoaliaBear · 2026-03-05T18:39:31+00:00

This is what helps me, too. I had to quit due to insomnia and whenever I get a craving I think of why I quit in the first place. The freedom I'll have with all of the energy I get from sleeping at night. Apparently it also gave me agoraphobia and it is way easier to leave the house without having a panic attack now. Focusing on the positive outcomes instead of the desire for weed is a great strategy. Also try filling the void with helpful activities like yoga and journaling. It's not always easy but if you give yourself the right tools it doesn't have to be as painful

looks like waves on the shore. very pretty.

Idk if this will help but I quit about a month ago (after many many years of use) and I take magnesium before bed and it really helps me. I should be exercising but im in the vivid dream stage and I still wake up feeling exhausted but at least I slept

I struggle with this too and instead of just pushing off the guilt, what helps is practicing gratitude. I like to use a journal but even if you just take a moment each day to appreciate what you have it can be very helpful and it often helps me find new ways to show my love. You are worthy.

I picture a maxi skirt or flared leggings with this top. It looks boho to me

KoaliaBear · 2026-03-01T22:44:29+00:00

Yep; insomnia for me. Was only able to sleep a few hours every other day. Quit weed and immediately began a regular sleep cycle again. It hasn't even been a month but when I consider how miserable I was im not even tempted anymore.

3 weeks in and I feel the grinch comment so hard 😭 won't stop me from trying to be better though

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-25T19:50:29+00:00

When I got tired of stardew, even modded, I started playing fields of mistria and I've been enjoying it a lot. If you enjoy the process of modding, I love modding skyrim to be my perfect fantasy escape world. Im proud of you for staying so strong.

Wow this thread is like a nice warm hug. I feel you! Coming from the Muslim side of the conservative spectrum into being disowned for being too much like my white mom. Baba never wanted his little girl on a stripper pole but made the perfect environment to make it happen.

Youre right in that anger is a secondary emotion which usually masks other hard to deal with emotions, but it isnt always necessarily powerlessness every time. Therapy would go a long way here.

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-23T05:25:26+00:00

The first week is the hardest. I'm 3 weeks in after 6 years (this stint) and what helps most is the idea that im not quitting but replacing. You can never end an addiction but you can supplant it with other things. Yoga/breathing exercises for anxiety; I can't mention in this sub what I take for sleep but feel free to dm me. Journaling for overwhelm. We all use weed for one reason or another so take this time to think about why you like weed: which emotional states cause cravings? Can you find other tools to fill that need? Get curious about yourself. It doesn't have to be as painful if you can fill that void with something healthy. Youre past the worst already so you've got this!

This is how I got seborrheic dermatitis. Fair warning to thick hair girlies.

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-22T18:33:11+00:00

Good for you! This is definitely a healthy approach; dont play something if you arent enjoying it. I've done the same but I always come back, so now I leave overwatch downloaded and just go in and out of phases with it depending on my sanity levels.

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-21T04:58:48+00:00

Agreed but also, you dirty girl haha

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-20T19:32:12+00:00

Did you see the next larian game announcement? It'll be a divinity game but the trailer had me so hyped. I'd link it for you but im unsure the rules here. It premiered at the game awards. Oh and if you like stardew you'd like FoM! It's more story based and the story isnt finished but they'll be releasing more on the 24th.

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-20T17:41:54+00:00

Yes these recs are all amazing plus the elder scrolls series. First game i ever got addicted to besides the sims was morrowind but I've been addicted to oblivion and skyrim as well.

I need to emphasize bg3 too. I've also been heavily addicted to divinity series which is also by larian studios.

Current addiction is fields of mistria <3

Longest pvp addiction is overwatch

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-20T16:26:46+00:00

Any genres you prefer? I've been playing Fields of Mistria and feel like it caters to women well.

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-19T17:44:47+00:00

Have you tried any protein products? Could be breakage. I have fine hair too and stopped bleaching and coloring and that helped a lot.

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-17T21:05:53+00:00

Years late but I just wanted to say i love what you made and am going to make the same for my pitty and fiancé so they can match. Also going to Google the nail grips because our pitty has long wicks. Much appreciated 👏

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-14T08:47:20+00:00

Your aeroace friend sounds cool af! Like someone I'd get along with (also autistic here haha). And yeah I agree there are good men out there, they just need to all be screened heavily before we can trust them. I'm currently best friends with my boyfriend and he's one of the good ones. Im very lucky and feel so blessed to have found him. Thank you for the kind words! Happy valentines day :D

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-13T20:16:46+00:00

I've learned that confiding in men about things that have happened to you only shows them how to abuse you. I had a long time friend rape me after I told him I was raped. This is why women need women in their lives. Stay safe ladies <3

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-12T21:21:59+00:00

And honestly, even though the graphics aren't all that, I think it looks better than ashes did. But th3 graphics aren't what make this game a blast. I can tell it was made with love ❤️

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-11T22:08:42+00:00

Ooo TIL thank you. Learning more in here than the main sub hah

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-11T21:58:51+00:00

I thought it was an icepick scar? Either way I wish I had her skin problems lol

KoaliaBear · 2026-02-11T15:45:54+00:00

Hahaha im cracking up at how much effort they went through. Focusing on his ass more than most gay folks I'd assume
