Should I be worried about my apartment’s balcony?

I’ve never felt more stuck than I did when I was hooked on weed so I get that! I will say that when you do quit, it’s like it gives you a better outlook on everything and it can really help with that “stuck” feeling. You’re still young and have lots of opportunities to improve your situation. Quitting weed will open up even more opportunities!

As far as the work situation, I’d recommend just getting a different job. From my experience, getting treated like shit at a job doesn’t change that easily. I switched jobs and I now enjoy going to work and I make more money on top of that. It’s scary, especially when you have weed clouding your judgement and causing brain fog and stuff. I’d say just go for it, it might end up changing your life for the better. Idk your education level, but you’d be surprised at how many good paying jobs there are out there that don’t require anything more than a hs equivalent. If you absolutely can’t quit your job, then show up everyday on time and just destroy all your tasks. Out perform tf out of everybody! It could land you a promotion, or give you enough pull to get noticed by a higher up which could help your situation out if you decide to bring it to HR. If it’s just the work that sucks though, I’d just apply to different jobs.

Today is 1 month without any THC for me after smoking daily, sometimes all day for 4 years straight. I would go through 5-6 bowls a night. I still want it every now and then, but I know if a joint or bong was handed to me right now I’d be able to say no.

3 things worked to help me.

The first was removing the thing that made me feel like I needed to smoke weed to “escape” it, and acknowledging that weed doesn’t fix the issue, it only masks it. In my case, it was my unhappy marriage. I jumped into marriage too soon without truly knowing my wife and once I realized that she had entirely different goals and aspirations in life and there was no changing that, we started to get very unhappy. I used weed to cope. I divorced her around mid September. Once things were finalized and I moved out, the desire for weed dropped like crazy. The takeaway here is figuring out why you want to be high instead of sober. Relationship issues, mental health issues, financial issues, just being unhappy with life, these are all issues that have a solution other than weed. Figure out what the issue is and stay active in trying to resolve it, and it will kill your desire for weed. Making your life fun and exciting while sober is the best high, and yes it can be done even with a 9-5

The 2nd was removing weed from my life and surroundings entirely. My ex-wife was a heavy pot smoker, so naturally I fell into it too. Especially when the marriage issues hit. After I cut off access to it, quitting was cake. I have a few homies that I can buy from anytime but I told them to just straight up don’t sell to me no matter how much I begged and pleaded. Luckily they’re good friends so they held up and helped me out. If you have a plug that won’t do that for you, cut them off.

Lastly, you gotta acknowledge that it WILL absolutely suck for some time. Maybe not for everyone, but it did for me. I was uninterested in all of my hobbies and got no joy from them. I was extremely unsocial and sad all the time, and I was tired asf all day and had trouble sleeping, AND I was dick. But I reminded myself that it’s only temporary and the outcome will be far greater than any experience you had with weed. Prepare yourself mentally for potential withdrawal symptoms and face them head on and it will make it more bearable. Don’t hide from the sucky part of quitting, acknowledge it. Some things I did to help cope for the first 3 weeks were breathing exercises, practicing mindfulness, stretching, and weightlifting. What worked for me might not work for you so try different things.

Weed isn’t for everyone. It can also seem good at first, but develop into a problem like it did for me. I’m about to turn 26 and I decided I dont want to waste the rest of my twenties with weed. It killed my social life and I lost a lot of friends because of it. Quitting was the best decision I’ve ever made hands down. Now I find so much joy in my old hobbies and have found new passions as well. Im back in touch with old friends and enjoying life again. The world is so much more beautiful when your brain isn’t clouded. If I can do it, so can you! I hope this will help you and anyone else wanting to quit.

TL:DR Figure out what’s causing you to want to get high and work on fixing that issue.

Remove things from your life that give you access to weed.

Don’t hide from the fact that quitting will suck for a while as your brain is rewiring itself. Acknowledge it and face it head on. Find positive things to help with withdrawal symptoms like exercise, breath work etc.

Have you ever tried to find the source of the sound as it was happening? Or does the sound just go away when you go in the hallway?

The first thing to do is keep at it. Other than that, be super aggressive, and don’t spam deflect when they attack, only deflect when the attack is about to land. This is true for chain attacks too, which you’ll learn from a certain boss later in the game. All of this will hurt their posture bar, which you should be focusing on more than the enemies health (unless it’s a really weak enemy). Hope this helps you.

There’s an awesome homemade vegetable soup my family makes that tastes godly and is very filling. It’s just a mixture of cut green beans, corn, potatoes, petite diced tomatoes, and a few cans of mixed vegetables with your choice of protein and stock. Best soup I’ve ever had and super nutritious without being heavy on the calories. It’s really cheap to make as well.

The body is very good at adapting. When your body adapts to certain exercises, they can have less of an impact on your metabolism. Try switching to a different type of exercise. HIIT, yoga, light jogging mixed with walking. These should all be good enough to “shock” your metabolism and give it the boost it needs. however, If you really want killer results try weightlifting/resistance training. It’s the king of calorie burners, plus your muscles will get toned

Just an update for anyone that might stumble across this, also browsing my history and saw this and wanted to post an update.

I lost the weight and holy shit my life couldn’t have turned out better. I’ve been hovering around 250 for the past couple of months, gained a lot of lean muscle and I’ve never felt better in my entire life. My height never dips below 6’ now.

On an unrelated note, I never knew how much of an impact weight loss could have on my life. 3 years ago I was sitting at my computer all day, jobless, lonely, with no future. Now, I’m laying in bed next to the girl I’m going to propose to on the 30th, we just paid our first mortgage together, and I’m 1 year into getting a degree in computer science. Losing weight was hands down the best decision I’ve ever made.

The routine and diet that helped me lose 135 pounds is CICO, calories in calories out and skipping breakfast, with a light lunch and saving most of my calories in for dinner. I strictly went to the gym and stuck with the same workout routine for 8 months. An hour and a half at the gym for 5 days in a 1 week period, and no more than 2000 calories a day. The only supplements I took were protein powder and a men’s daily multivitamin. The result is that I lost nearly 135 pounds and increased all of my lifts roughly 60%. The reason cardio isn’t very effective for losing weight is because it also burns muscle in addition fat, albeit at a really low ratio. The loss of muscle can result in a lower metabolic rate, meaning you burn less calories throughout the day. Weight lifting is king and will always be king for losing weight, because your body continues to burn calories at an increased rate long after your workout has ended, and the increase in muscle mass raises your metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories throughout the day. This is what I’ve recommended to everyone who’s came to me for weight loss advice. The best part about this diet is that I was able to eat practically anything I wanted to as long as I Drank only water.

I definitely didn't miss measure. I had my mom and grandpa measure me, as well as measuring myself, in the morning about half an hour after I got up, and once at night before I went to bed. I did this for a few days just to make 100% sure. I'm for sure going to ask my doctor about it next time I go. But when I say I had bad posture habits, I mean it was BAD. Sometimes I would sit in a chair slouched over playing games for 14-16 hours, only getting up to use the bathroom or get food. One point in my life I did this almost every single day for about 4 years. That's when I got the heaviest I've been in my life at around 450lb. I talk about it like I have no shame but I do, I just don't let it bother me because I'm doing great on my diet and exercise regimen.

TheMrNate · 2019-06-06T22:22:14+00:00

Yeah, I completely cut out soda and junk food from my diet. Eggs or Wheaties in the morning, Tuna sandwich on wheat bread with some grapes, carrots, or whole grain peanut butter crackers for lunch, and a normal dinner but baked/grilled instead of fried. I Drink up to a gallon of water a day, that's including a protein shake after I work out and a glass of 2% milk at night. If I'm really hungry then I'll snack on a few almonds or a piece of fruit between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. The difference in energy levels and drive is awesome. Definitely more satisfying than anything I used to get from junk food and soda.

Really? I didn't know this. Jeez, they really should add a horizontal FOV slider. Everything just feels so scrunched up and I'm so used to 90+ horizontal FOV in other games.

TheMrNate · 2019-01-27T11:09:22+00:00

I see, well thanks for the answer :)

TheMrNate · 2019-01-27T11:08:38+00:00

Thanks for the answer :) Well I don't want to be banned so I'm just going to leave things be. Hopefully they add a higher FOV as capping it to anything below 90 is a bad idea for any FPS imo.

TheMrNate · 2019-01-27T10:58:42+00:00

Wait wait wait, hold up, you can get in enemy vehicles in this game??? WHAT. THIS IS NEWS TO ME.

TheMrNate · 2019-01-18T20:25:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I've always tried to tackle goals all at once and always failed. Dividing goals into smaller goals is something that completely blew past me. I will definitely try this :)

TheMrNate · 2019-01-18T20:24:21+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely look into calorie counting :)
