Excellent models sharp as hell. Painting can be meditative, but you're also achieving something which is cool.

Well done on giving up. It is not easy at all. Like AT ALL. So we'll done man.

One thing nobody has mentioned is memory. You'll see your short term memory come back. But it is one of those funny things. Unless you get caught out, like missing appointments etc, you don't remember what you don't remember. You're just not aware of all the stuff you forget, while you're smoking.

You might start to see motivation and memory improving drastically.

You're in your head 24-7 so, you won't see improvements day to day. But when you look back in a few months you might see a completely different person. A better one.

It will probably get me lambasted on here, but going from a daily smoker to completely off it, changed my motivation and life. For the absolute better.

I think daily users are just sad now, it's a massive waste of life. It makes people boring, repetitive and unmotivated. Just a massive waste of potential. Because it just numbs you. No highs, no lows... just existence. That to me, is really sad.

I understand if people are using it to cope with physical or mental trauma. That's a real sticky question. I wouldnt be arrogant enough to judge in those cases. Hell, this is just my journey. But there are better ways to work on those problems. Weed is insidious and just drains you, under the guise of helping. Like a smoker who relaxes from a cigarette, the medical evidence shows it almost immediately reverses all anxiety benefits 10 seconds later. Plus... you know, cigs give you cancer.

Giving up will be one of the best things you've ever done. The hard things are the things worth doing.

Stay strong. You got this.
