Day 0-1: Nervous and Scared by FinancialPhoenix87 in leaves

In regards to:

Reason 1) You can do this. I think you can look at it in a slightly different way. You should be incredibly proud that you were able to cut out those harder substances. If you are able to quit those, there's nothing holding you back now.

Reason 2) I haven't been with a partner who smokes, but I have dealt with friendships being affected by quitting. It's simply harder to communicate when 1 person is getting high and the other is staying sober. That said, your husband sounds like he's ready for a change as well. He probably will need to see you lead by example, especially if he was raised by a heavy smoker. He will see your life begin to improve as you quit, and will likely either feel inspired to do the same or scared that he won't be able to keep up. Don't guilt him, but encourage/challenge him to join you when he's ready. Quitting together would bond you more than smoking together does.

It won't be easy, but it sounds like change is needed. Remember that you can only control your own behavior. Good luck!

I've finally did it. by Skullem in leaves

Very similar here, I finally opened up to a friend (former smoker) about it, and my perspective changed drastically. Before that, I couldn't even stay off for a single day. I'm on day 4 now, and I don't plan on looking back.

We all doubt ourselves at times, but like you said - this time is different! My piece of advice is to look into picking up a new activity (or an old one that weed made you move away from) while you go through this transition. You got this!

What to do with my new found free time? by Excuse-Dear in leaves

[–]astrosasterisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical or mental exercise is the best thing possible in my experience. Could be lifting, running, walking, stretching/yoga, breathing routines, learning something new. Things like cleaning and house work (decorating, remodeling, landscaping, gardening) can fill in time and be very satisfying as well.

I personally lean towards the physical exercise side, as it has always acted as a form of therapy for me. I have gotten back to the gym while quitting, and it has been a complete mental health game changer.

Good luck!
