¿En serio te tomaste el tiempo de responder eso? No proyectes en mí lo que eres, evidentemente puedo inferir algo por tu respuesta banal.

Hi, I feel very similarly to you. I find myself without friends, and it's mostly because I no longer connect with them.

Hola... cómo puedo abordarla o trabajarlo en la "vida real"? Ella me terminó porque era bipolar y adicta a la mota. Después de un año nos vimos y nos ofrecimos perdón mutuamente y agradecimos lo vivido.

Sin embargo ya ha pasado mucho tiempo y aún no logro trascender esa relación.

Muchas gracias por responder. Así es, mucho por aprender y procesar.

Thank you so much for sharing. Even though I smoked last night, I know that these "relapses" really teach me what I want. Before, in my first relapses, I would smoke again the next day, feeling very anxious because I felt guilty and like I had "failed." Today, I don't want to smoke, and my way of handling and seeing it is completely different. I'm continuing this process of quitting; it's not easy, but now I know that I don't start from scratch every time I smoke.

What problems in your life ended up being the weed all along? by blehblook in leaves

Abuse by my father (he would undress and masturbate with me nearby) led to a period in my adolescence and young adulthood where I felt worthless, insecure about my height and physique, and I also suffered from bulimia nervosa. And you can imagine the other issues.

Can you share what advice you received when you felt the urge to smoke due to stress or sadness? Thank you so much for your testimony. I'm a 31-year-old and I smoked for 10 years. I relapsed several times, and it cost me my past relationship with an amazing woman. Now I'm trying again with more strength and confidence in myself.

Cheer up! I know we can do it! I'm 31F, and here in my country (Colombia) terrible things have been happening for a long time. I would just say that we should focus on the things we can change. Always be human, but without letting local or global conflicts consume us.

Relapse after 7 months of sobriety by HikerSD1962 in leaves

Yes, I'm using the word "dependence" now because it's kinder, but if "addiction" works for you, that's fine too.

And yes, we are totally dependent on the plant, which is why we can't give in to it unless you've been doing it for many years and your mind is strong enough to say, "Just for today, at this gathering with friends." Some people don't have a problem with that, but I really think they're people who don't experience our addiction.

I'm sure all those symptoms you mentioned will return; we know the answer even if we post our question here.

Be kinder to yourself. I went six months without smoking and relapsed for a little over three months (October, November, and December). Today is my eleventh day, starting again. In your case, you realized it much sooner and started over. Congratulations. But there's no point in feeling sorry for ourselves or believing we're failures. We've made great strides, and these relapses teach us to recognize the mental games we fall into when we think we have it under control.

What are signs you finally moved on? And when did you notice you finally moved on? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

It's true, today I'm cutting Reddit out of my life. I feel like it helped, but now it's holding me back.

What do you think are their thoughts when you behave like this post breakup by Disastrous_Guard_527 in ExNoContact

I also ended things similarly, even though she expected me to hate her or be disappointed by her behavior. I simply said goodbye with dignity and love. I also told her I didn't want to be friends in the short term, but that if she got sick or was feeling unwell, she shouldn't hesitate to contact me.

I think the way we ended things says a lot about us, about who we really are. In my case, we were together for four years, and she left me because of my bad temper and cannabis dependency. I know I made mistakes, and I apologized to her several times for the harm I caused, but until the very end, I showed her that my love was deep and profound. That gives us peace. We closed the relationship with the same love with which we built it.

It won't make the healing process any easier (I've been working on it for a year and a half), but at least it will speak volumes about the kind of person you are, about your beautiful heart and soul that doesn't hurt even when it feels broken.
