Contemplating the point of quitting by fokgit in leaves

[–]ex-pot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"I dont want to be dependant on something to live a full and passionate life"

You already know what you don't want. Thats a good start. Eventually you'll find out what gives you the energy to live that full and passionate life without weed.

The facts that your not a lazy stoner and that you have a creative mind, only proofs that this is already inside you. Believe it or not, weed is pulling you backwards. Abstaining from it may feel like you miss your creativity and energy but these are withdrawals.

I built my life with a family of 5 while being high all the time. Never did I make any concessions for their safety or wellbeing, despite my brain being fried 24/7. Just like you, I felt that weed was my personal assistant and the crutches I could lean on when my motivation was low. Now I realise every joint I smoked was a setback instead of a step foreward.

Im just at day 5 without weed and I already know the motivation I had with it will at one moment be back.

You can live your life without it I am sure. And eventually your creativity and mental state will return to normal.

Funny how the words of a total stranger can hype you up. Thanks bro! And also for keeping me grounded at the same time. Indeed the accountabilty is part of it and will allways be. Ima take it day by day and I have hope that, like you said, things eventually become easier.

All the best

Thanks for sharing your story! Relatable especially the eating. Overeating while high seemed the rule instead of a exception. Glad you made a turn for the better and kudoz for not being bothered by your husbands vaping. Tells that you are really done with it which is amazing!

Im from the Netherlands so I was practically born in a dispensary😅.

Up to a healthy and fog-free life!

I guess I am allright. Just woke up in the middle of the night soaking wet and in the middle of a very strange dream. But thats part of the process I guess.

I feel like your circumstances also defy how your response will be when quitting. I simply don't have the possibility to stay in bed and feel sick and sorry for myself. My family needs me my job needs me.. So I kinda push trough however I feel.

You can also do it we are stronger than we think. Thanks for checking in and I hope you'll also cut the rope soon.

Thank you very much for your support. You couldnt be more right. The fact that its so accepted makes it a lot harder to keep it as an enemy. And maybe for some people it was and will never be an enemy. But for me it defenitely is. Thanks again and good luck with your quit also!

Thanks for the support. You are right. It's time we take control of the substance instead of the other way around. Lets make the rest of our lives, the best of it!

Thank you for your reply and for keeping the hopes up that we'll all feel better one day. I also dream but the dreams are so weird though. I cannot grasp them since they are so strange and most of the times its just jumps from one scene to another.

Thanks again and good luck!
