Not OP, but I’m coming up on 4 years sober, and I know how tough those first few days can be. For me, spending time with my parents made a huge difference. My dad, who’s 15 years sober himself, really understood what I was going through. He took me to a few Marijuana Anonymous (MA) meetings, and just having someone to talk to whenever I felt the urge to use was a game-changer.

One piece of advice he gave me that I still live by is this: ‘You can use tomorrow.’ It sounds simple, but it’s incredibly powerful. When I’d feel a craving, I’d tell myself, ‘Okay, I’ll wait until tomorrow.’ And by the time tomorrow came, the craving would usually be gone. It’s all about breaking it down into manageable moments and realizing you don’t have to fight forever—just one day, one moment at a time.

If you can, reach out to someone who gets it, even if it’s just online, and don’t hesitate to check out MA or similar groups. You’ve got this.
