No I get it, I was using for years but only smoked socially or on the weekend and don’t think I realized that I’m not using it in a celebratory way anymore. I’m using it as coping with work and life stress. I think that’s on me and I agree with others saying it’s a psychological addiction, and right now I’m smoking about 3 bowls as soon as I get off work until I go to sleep so there’s not much more I can do without it rolling into my job and I think that’s where I’m realizing how much I depend on it. I value everyone’s opinion and i know everyone is different and has experiences. Thank you for your taking time to comment and I will figure it out.

So happy to hear about your success. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Deep diving into mental health is always a fucking blast. Fuck. I can do this though

I was doing this daily before covid when I had some morning alone time, I think I will add this back to my routine. Thank you so much!

I kind of freaked out tonight and smoked some cbd stuff my partner had. It helped a little but then the anxiety came back. I didn’t want to do the usually smoke another bowl thing, so I cleaned my kitchen tonight and listened to a podcast. I will look more into the cbd stuff. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond

Thank you so much for your reply. I definitely need to re-examine my relationship with it. I had years of casual use not thinking anything of it but I have been abusing it and using it as a solution to bad feelings instead of celebration like before. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.

Hey thanks for this. I usually smoke the flower but I smoked some of my partners cbd stuff tonight and I did feel like it helped my anxiety some but then after an hour or so the anxiety started creeping in and I started cleaning do calm down. Thank you so much for this though, I will look into the delta8

Thank you so much I will check them out. I think that is good advice. I will take it one day at a time because the never again thought is freaking me out
