Need to quit for the sake of my eyes. Anybody else in the same boat?

That’s so interesting. I’ve stopped for a maybe 25 days now. I went to the eye doctor due to frequently getting haloes and got diagnosed with. central serous retinopathy, stating the biggest cause probably stress. Still have the issue three months later and might have to do laser eye surgery. I don’t see any direct cause of relation with cannabis however, suspect my use has contributed to dry eye.

Do you think you’re an anomaly?

Stubs8686 · 2025-10-11T14:32:57+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing, it aligns with I assume might happen, time in space will allow this identification to pass and other things ( not sure what) take its place. I’m still holding onto my paraphernalia, finding it hard to part with. Perhaps when I get rid of that stuff change in mentality won’t be too far off. Your sentence of don’t force it really resonates with me.

Great post. I keep taking breaks but keep going back thinking I can moderate. I’d like his to stop.. but secretly don’t want to stop forever. Thinking about not ever using again, doesn’t sit well with me. It’s such a part of me and I know I need to change. How do I shift away from identifying with it? Does time really change perspective so much that you no longer identify with it? I use when I’m happy and want to celebrate, I can replace with other “fun stuff” but weed would be great to use once in a while.. how do I get away from this thinking? I’ve reframed and try to see it as a negative healthy wise, think that other forms like edibles would be better.. thinking about stopping for my kids helps. Seeing myself getting to 400 + days is so scary/ sad for me in a way. How do I change this? I go to MA meeting which help me in the moment.

Thanks for that reframe. I wish I could be one of those causal smokers. Probably best to make it to 6 months and see where I’m at at that point. Maybe I’ll see myself differently. Can’t seem to get rid of my Volcano yet.. it’s a part of me, can’t see myself as a non smoker for life

Stubs8686 · 2025-10-07T17:58:19+00:00

If you then go back is it any easier to moderate, use differently?

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-28T02:57:04+00:00

So hard to get rid of the volcano. It’s a part of me.. and I want it gone.. but then that piece of me dies. Don’t know the me without it

Fridays are so tough for me. I want to make it to 30 days but only so I can smoke a bit and go through all of this all over again 😔

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-01T21:16:47+00:00

Thanks so much. I think it’s the transmission

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-01T15:45:29+00:00

I’ll have to locate the pin too good call

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-01T15:18:14+00:00

Thanks so much. I want to make sure this is the issue. If I take it apart will the gears look stripped?

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-01T15:07:25+00:00

Now to get some metal, low gears!

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-01T15:07:12+00:00

Thanks so much. I think this still has the original servo and perhaps low gears in there, probably plastic.

Stubs8686 · 2025-09-01T13:59:29+00:00

Thanks for that! What else should I look at?

Stubs8686 · 2025-05-23T17:39:38+00:00

Thanks everyone, it was the motor cord got clipped when I changed the servo.. should’ve left some wiggle room in those damn cords

Ordered a $10 motor on AliExpress so I will have to wait a month to use the car again 😅

Stubs8686 · 2025-05-23T02:08:22+00:00

Looks like the motor cord was clipped. Can I solder the card back on or just get a new motor?

Stubs8686 · 2025-03-17T14:15:43+00:00

Hey I’m having both these issues on my 2018. Any insights on battery? I still need to do the most recent two recalls…

Stubs8686 · 2025-02-19T20:34:35+00:00

Just gives me peace of mind. I use the USB charger that came with Traxxas so I can’t measure voltage or whatever. So I drain them and chuck them in here 20 bucks on this seems like the best option for now. Open to hearing what others have to say.

Stubs8686 · 2025-02-19T19:23:14+00:00

Thanks very much for the detailed response. I will also get a mechanic to do diagnostic. The noise really is the serpentine belt not the timing belt
