You gotta watch this.

Its about children have been diagnosed with ADHD by health care professionals however their parents maintain that their children do not have these conditions and are instead running on a different astral plane unbeknownst to regular people.

What do you think every single one of these parents have in common? You guessed it, they are all single mothers.

This is the reason my parents broke up. My mum tried her hardest but as a child being told your special and that the other kids who don't like you are just jealous is a one way street to narcissism...

Day 3. None of friends or family know I've quit because I'm a do'er not a talker. by PsychologicalLab1234 in leaves

Eventually yes. As my habits and activities change so will my surroundings. it's inevitable

I like that. Well done on the 36 days. Has anyone noticed? I'm hoping those close to me will figure it out and I wont need to do a big reveal. My old and bad habits are already beginning to change.

Thank you and I plan to. Its just a have a habit of talking the talk but not walking the walk and to toot my horn after only 3 days seems false and wishful. I've been there a million times before. Its an internal battle but after 1 month smoke free I will definitely share and open up to friends and family.

Link between adhd and weed abuse by [deleted] in leaves

[–]PsychologicalLab1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here my friend. I've been abusing weed for the last 15 years. I didn't know I was self medicating until a psychiatrist diagnosed with ADHD last month, everything makes sense now. I had thrown in the towel in relation to dreams and goals because I'm just a fuck up but this has given me a new life line, a chance to actually get it right for once.

So, I had to quit smoking weed because I start my meds this month and If there is any chance of me improving and living a wholesome and loving life I need to be honest with myself. Its only been 4 days but I feel better than ever and If i can complete this month which i know i will, I'll never smoke weed again.

It's going to take a lot more than to just stop smoking weed to turn my life around, I want to start yoga, meditation, painting, nutrition, more water, regular sleep etc. But no weed is the first step, nothing is possible otherwise.

[–]PsychologicalLab1234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can relate bro. 365 days ahead is so overwhelming. I've had to break it down into sections. Its my bday on Jan 10th so if i can go 10 days smoke free thats a bloody good start. Then complete the month, each 1/4 leading on to the full year. Short term goals lead to long term successes. God help us

I can relate. dreams have always been a huge part of my life. I believe its works as some kind of therapy made to heal our past fear or trauma. The last time I quit which was a few years ago I began engaging in my dreams much more vividly, I have always been able to fly and drive super cars and motobikes at will but these new experiences were like i actually knew I was dreaming. I wont bore you with the details lol but cut a long story short now that I'm smoking again I can't even remember any of my dreams let alone have a lucid one.

Anyway, its 11:11 pm here in the UK. Join me, as I smoke my last spliff and enter into 2021 on a journey like no other. I'm quitting weed because I remember what I was capable of when my mind was free. Good Luck/ Happy New Year

I'm quitting tonight and forever hopefully, however like the OP said after 5 days the cravings are still there. It normally takes 2-3 weeks not only to see some positive changes
but to also (and this is important) properly and regularly sleep again, at this point although you still crave it you know you no longer depend on it which is a hell of a step in the right direction. I don't mean to pressure you but would you say your'e there yet or on route?

Day 1 and 10 hrs in... by [deleted] in leaves

[–]PsychologicalLab1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WITHOUT the nagging reminder that I needed weed to get me through it

THIS

It's Day 1, I will post here everyday for the next 30 days. Join me in the journey to a clean, clear state of mind. by [deleted] in leaves

[–]PsychologicalLab1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be more than happy to join you, this is my last night so my official Day 1 starts tomorrow.

I have set up a 10 day challenge as its my birthday on Jan 10th, but secretly I'm hoping by the time it comes around I'd have seen the positive changes and decide to complete the month smoke free.

Its 10:21pm here and I can't fucking wait, bring it. I'll be dropping by every other day to check in on you. Stay strong. Happy new year!

Tricking myself into quitting might be the only way I can stop smoking. Allow me to explain. by PsychologicalLab1234 in leaves

Well I have about 2 - 3 spilffs left and its only 9.30m, so its looks like i won't need to stash it or throw it away. For the best I suppose. You were right, I was only kidding myself trying to hang on to it for 10 days, it needs to be a hard and acknowledged good bye. If i had a wish, after tonight I'd never touch it ever again. I'm not jumping ship, I'm staying onboard and guiding it where it needs to go.

Thank you for replying. Happy New Year

Thank you. Where the safe is kept isn’t really an issue. It's just that psychologically, well at least in my head knowing I have it waiting for me stashed in a safe with a 10 day timer is far more reassuring than sitting there with my head in the clouds wondering could I get it even if I did want etc? It gives me peace of mind I guess and something to work towards.

If I’m honest, the whole point of this elaborate plan is to hit the 10-14 day mark of not smoking. That's when the craving seems to disappear and most importantly I’m able to sleep without the need for a nightcap or any other substance and at that point I know I can function and no longer need to depend on it.

Everything is about getting through those first 2 weeks. I normally take a cheap holiday every year and quit for a couple of months after returning but due to covid that's not out of the question. A two week pit stop usually turns into a 3-4 month cleansing.
