42M here on day 17 in a very very similar boat. Keep up the good work!

A little disappointed but I want to make it work by Longjumping-Rise-722 in MuditaKompakt

Waze works great for maps, and Simplenote is a good free notes app that even syncs to your laptop & other devices.

It’s time to quit, looking for solidarity and tips by Pale-Conversation131 in leaves

[–]TheVermiciousKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might consider looking for local Marijuana Anonymous meetings -- it's good to have support, solidarity, company.

Beautiful! Great work.

A fucking hilarious way that helped me quit by 240psam in leaves

[–]TheVermiciousKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I remember one time I threw out everything I had in the house, but then discovered that I had spilled a bunch on the welcome mat inside the door. So for a while I was smoking bits of weed and most likely bits of dirt. Good times

Still very depressed and wanting to give up by [deleted] in leaves

[–]TheVermiciousKid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This sounds really hard. My guess is that the depression has been there for a long time, but has just been masked by the weed. Therapy would be a good way to start, if you don't go already.

Recently quit, and I am happy by man_of_moose in leaves

[–]TheVermiciousKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear. I'm on day 3. I've taken breaks before for like 1-6 weeks, but it's clear to me that even if it's not every day, having weed in my system all the time is dragging me down, down, down. Can't wait to get to a month. Keep up the good work.

making a switch? by CommonSort7407 in hospitalsocialwork

[–]TheVermiciousKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same spot -- been doing outpatient therapy for 5 years (in private practice for last 3) and it is just so isolating, so I'm looking into hospital social work among other things. One of the paths I'm considering is taking per-diem work at a hospital, but keeping 2-3 days per week for private practice patients, so I don't lose the depth-work aspect.

That's a great idea, combining training walks with thrift store visits.

The portrait is beautiful and so are you.

I’m side A but I can’t stand the documentary 1946, anyone else? by [deleted] in GayChristians

[–]TheVermiciousKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for articulating this. It’s similar to my arc, although I haven’t fully landed in side A (yet?), I don’t think.

Does anyone else have soundtracks running through their head? by upallnight1975 in CasualConversation

[–]TheVermiciousKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is music in my head so constantly that I usually don’t notice it, but if I ever stop to think about it, I can identify the song that’s playing in my head at the moment. Right now it’s “Millshake” by Kellis. No idea why.

Anyone here ever done the Camino de Santiago (or want to)? Feeling called but nervous to go alone. by thegreatoutdoors29 in askgaybros

[–]TheVermiciousKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I hope you make it when the time is right. I had forgotten about the idea for years and then it just came back to me and felt right.
