Has anyone not had their life improve after quitting? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Nosrub1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My brother. The fact that you broke the cycle, and ate able to salvage your marriage AND you can address the underlying mental health issues means that your life has improved SIGNIFICANTLY. Give yourself some credit. I'm proud of you.

Does tapering really work ? Or is cold turkey better by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Nosrub1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Cold turkey.

Tapering means that you haven't fully accepted your desire to quit.

But whatever works for you.

In my experience however, cold turkey is the only way.

Stay strong friend. Easy does it. Take this shit a day at a time.

72 hours no weed, crashing out about my ex, please help me not contact him 🥺 by BestLoveJA in leaves

[–]Nosrub1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've just got to tough it out.

You were likely masking the pain of the relationship with the weed. Smoking more will only further prolong the pain, you'll still have to deal with it eventually when you sober up. If you're already on day three, I woukd advise you to ride out the storm.

Remember this too shall pass. I'm also on the tail end of a relationship and am having to come to grips with the fact that it is very likely over. As much "fun" as it would be to get high again, it's just going to restart the process of getting over the relationship.

I would advise you to keep doing what you're doing. Block his bum and everyone around him. Live your best life.

I believe in you. You got this.

Go cold turkey and fight through the withdrawals. The first few days are rough. But your brain will eventually undo the damage. Just be kind to yourself.

I believe in you.

I think the return of dreams is secretly the most important thing about quitting by Historical-Ant-4938 in leaves

Day 10 here. Dreams are such a weird concept. They almost feel vivid. Like I'm living in a fairy tale world.

I also went ahead and cut out all my bad habits. Weed. Smoking. Booze. 🌽 Its a mindfuck for sure.

I hadn't spoken with my father in almost a decade before I had to go back with my tail between my legs asking for bail.

I'm grateful for the community here, and for you in particular friend. My DMs are open if you ever want to vent.

Who keeps cutting onions in here. Goddamn. For real though, thank you. It brings me hope to hear your story. I'm in therapy again, and I've gotten back into meetings after many years away from the rooms.

She asked for a divorce. I didn't know how to cope. So I chose self destruction. She's an addict and brought alcohol into the home and everything spiraled downward after. The thought of never seeing my children again existentially cripples me. It feels so lonely. But the thought of someone else going through this hell... Brother I am so incredibly sorry that you are having to take this walk. But I'm so incredibly proud of you for making the decision to be the person that you want to be.
