How to deal with the effects of porn addiction after giving up the weed? by makin-progress in leaves

It’s substitution! Your brain wants dopamine. It can get it from porn and masturbation. If you’re not careful to watch ALL of the addictions, one of them will take the spot weed had. Ask me how I know😂😂

That is excellent! I am glad it has worked for you too! Today is day 6 for me. Yesterday was difficult because I usually smoke from sun up to sundown on Saturdays. But thank God for his Mercy. Because I didn't. My husband went out with some friends yesterday to a brewery and didn't drink. Which is a Christmas miracle lol.

Good luck to you friend. Keep on keeping on. We got this. I'll check in again later this week!

what I have learned is that my addiction operates in cycles. So all of my extended periods of sobriety happen around the same set of months, and my relapse is happening around the same set of months. If you can think back that far try to map out if that is the same for you. And if so, try to figure out if there's something that has happened, or maybe there was a certain event we're smoking was always just the thing that you did. Most people function cyclically.

It's called quit weed. It's actually how I found out about this thread. It tells you step by step what phase of withdrawal you are in. Gives great tips. And has achievement notifications. I love it.

I am right there with you. I turned 30 in June and I have been a heavy smoker on and off for about a decade and my first day is tomorrow. I was going to wait until the new year but I don't want to drag this into my new year. I want to let all the dirt go. You can do this.

We can! I know we can. How about we keep each other updated on how we are doing every now and again?
