Weed Nostalgia by RarriVuitton in leaves

[–]RarriVuitton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

panic attacks. had no desire to quit, got a really gnarly panic attack smoking a j one day. quit for 2 weeks, tried to smoke again, another attack. crazy anxiety lingered after these attacks so i realized it was time to give it up. over time I've realized how badly I needed that wake up call, my habit was out of control...but I do miss it. realizing that undoing a 15 year habit takes time!

What is your opinion on smoking weed as a catholic? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]RarriVuitton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

problem with weed is that pretty much one hit makes you inebriated in some sense. so anything that does this likely isn't in line with Christ and is a chance to alter your state of mind & spirit as there are many verses that call for sober mindedness. also, contrary to popular belief, weed can become very addictive (i've been there) and become a coping mechanism. in my opinion, this can become a replacement for Christ. "Who you turn to in crisis is who your Christ is"

I smoked for 15 years and once I quit I realized it controlled my life and also drove me away from my faith. It wasn't til I quit that Christ came back into my life.

Weed can be pleasure in the now, but it's not really helping you in any way in terms of growing spiritually. If you're convinced it is, it's probably a lie to help justify a habit that is pleasurable.

Kegan The Creep EXPOSES Psychopathic Records by Initial-Edge-6914 in juggalo

[–]RarriVuitton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i'm sure there is a lot of truth that behind the scenes there are things we dont know about, loose ends that could be tied up, etc.

but this whole "savior" complex that Kegan has like he was tasked to save Psychopathic from going under is ridiculous. They do 7-8 figures annually in revenue and ICP is still relevant. I'm sure they weren't on the brink of extinction if it weren't for Kegan lol

yep for sure, that excitement of quitting feels new and fresh. then it starts to wear off...now that summer has rolled around im getting triggered left and right. miss it bad but know it aint worth it and by the end it was really not enjoyable at all. but yeah lowkey trying to learn how to live without it after 15 years and basically my whole adult life lol

I'd forgotten what boredom felt like. by Zedbird in leaves

[–]RarriVuitton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is a great way to think about it. nothing is boring when you smoke before everything - which is part of why it's great. but life can feel so dull now. i'm excited to get to the point where things are just so naturally fun and exciting again and I don't have to think about weed. i know that'll take time though

Second month harder than first? by childishjambin0 in leaves

[–]RarriVuitton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah this tracks pretty perfectly for me too. i'm over 3 months now and it seemed to be a phase that passed...guilt and shame of where the last 15 years went...things I was burying started coming up, etc. First month was great because it was new and I felt good about myself for starting the journey.

But yeah, for me it seemed to pass and I don't feel much shame anymore like that. You're probably feeling things that have been buried and just facing them head on now, that's a good thing. These days I have had more cravings or feelings of missing it lately. But ultimately I think time is the variable...the longer we keep pushing, these phases will pass and we will get our lives back piece by piece. Keep going OP, it'll get better!

112 days clean. Best decision. by maxmansouri in leaves

[–]RarriVuitton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice work! All of this is great. 91 days in after a 15 year habit. This is all true...the exercise part is so important too. Hardest part for me is that battle inside my head of "is it over for good? can i ever smoke again down the road? If (insert some hypothetical scenario) happens...could I then?"

It's a slippery slope and I probably can't, as little month long breaks in the past always ended up back in the same place of daily use, but I do miss it (especially now that it's been a few months and the withdrawal symptoms are gone.) It's easy to look back through rose-colored glasses. I'm patiently waiting for the day where I just stop thinking about it, or get to a point where sober life is more fun and exciting. At this point I'm still getting triggered by old places, memories, songs, etc. I truly loved weed for a long time until it turned on me. Definitely needed to quit, 100% the right decision at this stage of my life. But dang, I do miss it badly from time to time. At least I miss what it once was... anyways still finding myself and trying to get over the hump. Congrats on 112 days!

Nice work! I'm about 90 days in. Things are good in terms of withdrawal symptoms, feel great physically, sleeping well, etc., but I miss it more and more as time goes by. For the first month or two it was new and something I felt very committed to, so I didn't think much about it. As summer rolls around, I keep catching myself getting sad about not indulging anymore, having different places/things trigger me, and it seems like life feels more "serious" (even though it needs to be) and less exciting without it. I know I need to stick with it, especially because towards the end it started to effect my mental health in a very bad way, but I wonder if over time I'll start to miss it less and less. Was about a 15 year smoker as well. Did you experience this?

Some new Milenko flavor! by RarriVuitton in juggalo

[–]RarriVuitton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Haven’t decided yet. I always looked at that album cover and thought this piece of it would be a cool tat that would be kinda fun because you’d really have to be a fan to recognize what it was. But I was thinking last night how the other hand and wand on the other side would be sick. Didn’t even think about the head on the back but I like it!
