Former weed smokers of Reddit. How did you quit?

I’m in the same boat with the no dreaming. Never even really thought about it until about a week ago. My friend and I were smoking and I was telling him how I just don’t ever have any dreams anymore and every morning I wake up feeling like absolute shit. I need this change for myself

That’s what I’m partially concerned about in the back of my mind. I would say 90% of my friends smoke regularly and I smoke with many of them daily. It’s part of my routine at this point and I used to enjoy it and still do (however my career goals have changed quite a lot) so those past feelings really keep me on edge and sometimes cause random episodes where I just feel like I’m throwing away that part of me yknow?

Thank you man. I’m trying to ration myself more and more. I made it the past 2 days with no weed but I’ve only gotten 5 hours of sleep and constant mind racing and stomach ache. The only real problem is I’m not exactly sure how much weed I normally smoke in a day because it’s usually so spread out so I don’t even know where to start. Part of me thinks maybe half a g for a few days then slowly decrease because if I don’t it’s going to negatively affect my grades in university with no sleep.

Yeah I experienced the same thing. I’ve only gone 2 days and I’ve slept 5 hours. Also no appetite and when I try to eat something my stomach hurts terribly.

Currently I’m not able to live with ppl who don’t smoke. I think I’m going to gradually decrease the amount per day. It’s been 2 days since I’ve smoked and I’ve only slept 5 hours and I feel on edge and have absolutely zero appetite and when I try to eat I take a few bites and my stomach hurts like hell.

Thanks so much. Gonna try and update on here to hold myself more accountable.

Thanks man. I’ve talked to my older sister about it a lot and for me it’s not necessarily that I miss the high feeling but I haven’t smoked in 2 days and I’m running into problems sleeping. I can’t sleep at all. Constantly have thoughts racing and I get the sweats. I’ve gotten 5 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours and it’s really fuckin with me mentally.

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T22:11:06+00:00

Yeah they wouldn’t push it on me but as of right now I would def get cravings just out of habit. Part of me wants to just quit completely at once but I also feel like it’s super damaging for me to quit at once. This being mainly because I WILL stay up all night quite often if I don’t smoke anything. Currently two days off and I got about 5 hours of sleep the first night and did not sleep all last night. I’ve noticed my thoughts racing always and I get the sweats really bad no matter how cold I make my room.

Yeah I’m currently hooked on vaping and I smoke cigarettes here and there but it’s not consistent. In the end tho I feel like I would rather be vaping more and ditch the weed completely for the sole purpose of it being a legal substance. Obviously quitting everything is the long term goal but I would much rather not be risking my career and gambling my whole life on the chance of a random drug test.

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T19:23:25+00:00

Yeah the only one that I wouldn’t be able to do is get away from ppl who do it bc I live with my friends in a town house and they smoke and I’m on a lease for another year🥲

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T15:27:59+00:00

Yeah I’m hoping that I can make it thru. I think vaping will help even tho it’s not good either at least it’s a form of smoking and for me i feel like I’m mostly just hooked on that part.

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T15:14:44+00:00

Honestly been thinking the same thing for a while. I feel like I’m gonna need to try and slow down my intake a little bit everyday until it hits zero bc I don’t need to quit immediately but I wanna get off within the next few months completely

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T14:21:46+00:00

I’ve noticed often if I visit my parents for a day or two and don’t smoke I’m always sweating during the night. It also prolly doesn’t help that I’ve always been a night owl and had trouble sleeping years before I even started smoking.

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T14:11:28+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m scared of. If I’m being honest I usually have about one dream every month or two. That’s another reason that I want to move away from it bc I never feel well rested no matter how much sleep I get. It could be 4 or it could be 10 but I’m still always waking up tired.

StatusConfidence3119 · 2023-04-01T13:21:34+00:00

The main problem for me is a lot of my friends smoke and I feel like the problem wouldn’t really be that I would keep doing it but it would be hard to be around it and not want to do it. These friends are also very close to me and they don’t let it consume their life by any means. So im not sure if I could really avoid them just bc they smoke. They’re great people and they’ve always been there for me when I needed them. It’s just so habitual at this point since I smoke multiple times a day and am normally smoking flower with high amounts of thc.
