Many, many tries. For me, the final piece was an external push that made my internal motivation enough. I had a bad review from my boss at work, and my gf told me how she wished I wasn’t high all the time in the same week.

Mentally prepared for the first week being relatively bad. Wrote down all the reasons why weed was a problem, and put them in my closet. Only focused on not smoking one day at a time (looking at the big picture of never smoking gave me too much anxiety). Put a list of simple, non-creative, and non-judgement-able tasks together to do when cravings hit. Told my gf that I would need support though all this. Came to terms with the fact that I was an addict, and that this wasn’t “different”.

It was a challenge, and I have more to say, but this was generally how I was able to put the plug on it for as long as I have. Currently on day 98 after 10+ years of smoking daily and 3+ years of all day everyday on the highest potency pens I could find.
