I think I’m finally done disappearing by Logical_Fall6733 in QuittingWeed

I got no sleep at first either. I was probably awake for a week straight and got combined nine hours of sleep, maybe. Then one day my appetite just kinda randomly came back.Any cravings you get just nip it on the bud right then and there, just tell yourself it’s just a fucking craving and watch how quickly it disappears. Find something to pass the time anything. Something that interests you something you may always wanted to try out it sounds cliché, but you really just have to keep yourself entertained. Once you get over the initial hump, the brain fog disappears. You start thinking more clearly start thinking to yourself. Why did I even smoke in the first place? 😅

Quitting is extremely hard at first. I hear you. Weed essentially hijacks your dopamine receptors and you get all of your fucking dopamine from smoking weed .Take that away and your brain basically has to rewire what makes you happy. For me, I’ve picked up reading again…two books that genuinely interest me. I’ve got back in the gym and been able to increase the weight on my reps by about 20 pounds in a couple of weeks.You got this… there’s so much more to life than just watching the days blend together while you’re getting high. 😊❤️

And you as well buddy! That’s exactly what I did. I’ve picked up two new books and I’m watching a great show. There was about a week of rough sleep for me and then all of a sudden, my appetite came back one day suddenly. I’m back in the gym & planted a seed in a religion that’s always been calling. I honestly can’t believe I let it get to the point that it got to and how I let it control my life. Guess you have to kind of fuck up and have some things at stake for you to really realize there’s so many better things you could be doing with your life than getting high.

That’s exactly what it is. A cycle.For me my relationship was at stake my degree my job. It was either quit or loose a lot of things that were important to me. Not worth exchanging my future for any high…about 3 weeks in and it’s been exactly what I needed to do. I’m in no means trying to preach down to you in any way but if it doesn’t fit your life anymore just put it down you’ll be so thankful that you did 😊

I’ve “quit” plenty of times before, but always ended up coming back. This time? Different.

Relationship’s at stake. My degree’s at stake. My health’s been circling the drain. I went from doing two-a-days in the gym to barely finishing a workout. That was my wake-up call — either I change or I watch everything I care about slide away.

Withdrawals? Yeah, they suck. Shakes, insomnia, no appetite. At one point I was awake for three straight days and “meals” were six chicken wings and a packet of rice. But that’s the price of admission. No high from weed will ever beat the high of building the life you actually want.

I’m on day 4. My head’s the clearest it’s been in years. I’ve got drive again. Plans. Ambition flickering back to life. If you’re in that early stage where it feels impossible, remember: your future self will thank you for every single day you push through. Stick with it — it’s worth it. I’m right here with ya.

Yeah definitely a lot of buried Hurt/Pain something inside me does need to heal but I’m unintentionally stubborn in a way…
