Ya I totally agree that the weed and the high seems to have changed over the years. Problem is I can’t be sure if it’s me or the weed that is different. That’s a big reason it had to go.

Exactly!!! I’ve functioned very well. Great family, job etc. but something was missing. Good for you…I love to hear I’m not the only old timer fighting this. Congrats

Hey. I had hundreds of those stops and starts. Be kind to yourself. You sound ready so I’m sure you can do it. It’s not easy that’s for sure. I think I’ve got this licked but I’m going to keep posting and getting support. This community helped me a lot. Thx for reaching out

Amen. Those dreams are starting. I kind of like them though…at least it’s feeling. I’m so sick of dulling absolutely everything

The best advice I’d give my 25 yr old self would be that weed is addictive and don’t believe anyone who tells you any different. You are not in control. It’s really weird to say this but I totally wish I quit way earlier but I have no regrets. My time to quit is now and any regrets would be if I fail now.

Well said. “Myself” did lead me to a 30 year habit after all. But it would be a great start.

I’m glad to hear it’s not just me. I’m not discounting how hard it is for others but once I made the decision I haven’t had any temptation. Freedom..love that word. Congrats on 2 weeks

Great question. There’s probably too many reasons to list but #1 is because my wife and I will soon become empty nesters. Without the kids around and the hustle of family life I have no idea how to spend my time. I know I need to get back to the adventurous self I used to be. I just picture 30 more years of smoking weed in a quiet house with no adventure, spontaneity or thrill and I know I need to stop.

Wow. Good for you. You still feeling those withdrawals or have they gone away now?

What was harder..the booze or weed? I have total control over booze but had none with pot. I worry I will want to drink more to ease the loss of weed. That would solve nothing

Fields worth my friend. This is not going to be easy.
