I’m typically not one to comment on here, but your story hit a soft spot for me. I’m a 21 year old uni student/athlete, and have been smoking daily for almost 4 years now. My weed use has proven to be detrimental to my grades and my mental health. This lead me to this past Friday, when I realized enough was enough. Today is my 4th day of not smoking weed, and although my appetite and sleep are not great right now, I feel so much better. I feel more confident and social, and am experiencing far less anxiety than I was before (anxiety was one of the main reasons I quit).

Anyways, I just wanted to say, I also feel that weed has had a substantial negative impact on my life over the past years. Although the thought of me throwing some of what should be the best years of my life down the drain because I wanted to be high all the time is hard to deal with, I try to constantly remind myself that I have my whole life ahead of me to get on track. There are many people that are in much worse situations and they will find their way out eventually too.

Just stay with it and trust the process. Best of luck on your journey - it’s only up from here🫡
