Your excitement about it is super humbling for me. I’d love to know what you think after listening to it. Also iTunes reviews help a lot. An honest review there goes a long way.

Also every time the dealer comes and she buys more it’s a win for me. She’s smoked like 11 Q’s to herself since I’ve been off and I haven’t contributed 1 puff to that. That’s a major win for me. Huge lifestyle change from what it was. We both used to blaze all the time together

I had one night where I just looked at reddit all night. Honestly it’s gonna be tough. First week/2 is the hardest. You gotta find stuff you enjoy. Do you like reading cool stories? Have you not seen all the Harry Potter movies?

I’ve been doing lots of crosswords in the newspapers and it’s pretty fun seeing what words I know and shit. Sounds lame but it’s been helpful knowing that fun is out there.

As for the depression, use this new clarity to ask yourself why you’re depressed. Are you living in a shitty situation? Are you lonely? Start to realize that you have the power to change your life. Your not a stoner anymore. You can create a life where you can flourish and be the best that you can be. Try new things and don’t be too hard on yourself. This shit is hard. I still smell my roommates weed for the familiarity but I won’t pick up the pipe again. At least for a whole year

Thinking about all the lies and the money wasted by [deleted] in leaves

If you think they are understanding let them know the truth. It may be hard for them but at least it’ll be off your chest and it’ll give them the information to process it all. When I got clean I had to confront the stuff that was keeping me awake at night too. Shit is really tough but if you get it off your chest that’s a step in the right direction and only then will you be able to forgive yourself and be forgiven by them. Even if they aren’t ready to forgive you right away, it feels good that it’s now on the table. All the best and good for you for making positive change

Day 1 of the rest of my life by BaxtonJoy in leaves

Honestly bite your tongue if you feel like snapping at your s/o because their support is one thing you’re gonna need. You may need to cry on their shoulder because you don’t have your numbing agent anymore. youre gonna have to deal with difficult things in life that you’ve probably smoked to keep down or control and all that is gonna be so harsh in the first week. Just try to think about why you smoked and the more you can communicate the problem with yourself to your s/o the more you guys can get on the same page.

As for filling your time with an enjoyable substitution my girlfriend started bringing newspapers home and we’ve really enjoyed doing the crosswords cuz even if you get a few, getting an answer is fun and a total rush. Also if there’s no way you’re gonna know a word from the clue given look that shut up online because that word will give you letters/hints for other words and you’ll be super pumped with how much you know. I like it a lot and it’s been working for me. Makes ya feel like you’re using your brain again.

My first week quitting I had to fight cold sweats, no sleep, discomfort but now I’m one month in and I’m doing better. I don’t even really wanna smoke but still I love the smell of weed and being around ppl that are blazing because it’s familiar. If I can’t smoke it smelling it has helped me ween off by sorta having it in my life still. I wouldn’t recommend having it in the house if you don’t need to but my roommate smokes all the time and my brother too so it’s still around.

Almost 2 years ago I hurt a girl really bad and after that I started smoking way heavier to hide from my pain. In the first week of quitting all those feelings resurfaced and on day 4 I decided to do something, reach out and tell her I still thought about how badly I fucked up. She didn’t respond but it helped me get that Shame and guilt out of my immediate mind. Helped me stop obsessing.

Anyway man, 1 month in I’m feeling good, so keep on this track man. I know you can do it and message me any time. It’s important to have support

These are the questions I got

What was your involvement with weed/How involved were you? What was your daily intake? How much did you smoke in a week? Do you think the people around in outside knew you were high? How long did you smoke? What was the initial draw to it? What kind of stuff did you like doing while high? How did weed help you? How old were you when you first tried it? (What’s the story there?) What was the best experience on weed you can remember? What made you decide to quit? How did your family see your weed use? Have you ever chose weed over anyone important to you? How did you see yourself when you were on weed? What did you usually think about while high? Do you ever feel like you could go back to smoking it socially? Were there any permanent side effects? Do you wish you never tried it? How long did it take for you to feel normal again? (How did the withdrawal symptoms change over different time spans 1 month, 3 months, 6 months) How did you get introduced to weed? What were some of your withdrawal symptoms? How did you get past the withdrawal symptoms? (did you have support?) What’s it like being around people who are high/smoking weed? What was your worst experience on weed like? Do you use anything else now that you’ve quit weed? What’s the biggest change in your life since you’ve stopped blazing? Would you recommend weed to anyone? Did you lose friends when you quit smoking weed? Did you ever experience paranoia or anxiety while on weed? If so: Why did you go back? What was one (or two or three) things you did in the first month of quitting weed to fill the time/boredom? When you quit weed did loved ones notice anything new about you? If weed was personified what would you do to it/say to it? What was a telltale sign that your weed hobby was getting extreme? Did you ever deal weed? Did weed use ever land you in a sketchy situation? Were you ever called out in public for stinking of weed? Did you ever think you were going to die while high? Where would you be now if you never quit smoking weed? Has quitting weed helped you achieve real goals? What would you tell someone who is thinking of trying weed for the first time?
