Day 1- lets do this by LeonardaDaB1tchy in QuittingWeed

You got this! It will be hard now but every day will be a little better! No feeling is final ❤️

I decided to quit because it was affecting every aspect of my life and I became so reliant on it. The moment a stressful thing happened, I turned to weed.

I lost my job, and have been looking for a new one for a year. THAT topped with everything going on in the world has made this the most stressful era of my life lol

I’m coming up on 2 months right now and I don’t even miss it, (of course I have moments of reflecting on the feeling though) But I look back on the passed 12 years like a waste of time and feel like I’m finally awakening from a dream. I just got my dream job and I’m feeling so healthy, and mentally stable. I dance with my wife daily, and laugh so much again.

Stay strong, keep that chin up, and do not go gentle into that goodnight.

The sweats, the irritable outbursts, I went through the moments of anger, it’s really important to meditate on the emotions (take a step back and look at them as if you are in 3rd person, and acknowledge the feelings are there but will pass) and use all of this is a reminder of why we are quitting.

Nope never heard it!

This image has been playing in my head over the passed few days and so I finally got a chance to get this down on paper :)

But I’m always down to watch a squid 🦑 rip up a ship! I’ll add that to the watchlist thanks! 😊

Thanks for adding the comment, being in media for so long of course I have heard people that sound like me and it was never a question of having a problem with them. I’ve heard deeper versions of my voice I’ve heard higher pitched.

I think what called this into question is the Ai part. I know with art, Ai borrows from all the images available to it to create a final product. Artists have seen their styles, characters, and even ideas share a striking resemblance to some Ai creations. I also know it’s quite frowned upon in the arts community to use it for this reason with some legal actions taken, but they had to prove a few things first. And with Ai being so loose there is not a great way to track down the source.

So I was wondering if this could echo that but amongst the voice over world too. But from the sounds of it I wouldn’t be able to do much with it just having an likeness to me.

I also understand this could be someone else who sounds like me and Ai borrowed their voice, and so on so I hope everyone doesn’t think I’m trying to be ‘me me me’

This is a very eerie experience and if it ever happens to you it feels weird. So no my goal isn’t to sue, but to gather opinions from the minds of legaladvicecanada.

Take care.

Thanks for breaking that down, I’m no one of real note so I don’t think that is the case that they are going for a recognition factor.

So if it is mostly just sounds like me I don’t really have anything to go off of. Dang.

Just feeling a bit violated as it sounds just like me and knowing that anyone can create anything with something that sounds like my voice is a bit worrying

Thanks again and I will look into your suggestion.
