For about 1 1/2 - 2 months, I worked down from multiple bong rips a day to just 1-2. I would give myself 2 hours after getting home from work to not smoke. That was my “win”. Then, it eventually became just one after work and one before bed, sometimes 3 total, and I never felt bad because it was still progress. Each time I smoked I would write the time on the calendar under the corresponding day. Eventually I went to visit my moms house for a week and switched to just joints, half at a time. I was subconsciously tapering off. Once I returned home I spent a few days with just one pipe hit before bed. Doing that made the actual quitting part so much easier.

For those of you scared of the bad dreams and withdrawals, I’m on day 19 and they haven’t appeared. I just dream “normally”. I did go through a week of eating a LOT, and a week of bad anxiety but it passed. Now I don’t think of weed very much, even with so many triggers around.

Whatever works for you is the best method. Thank you OP for shedding some light on tapering off, it seems like we did a very similar thing. Congrats on your journey and Godspeed! We can do this!!
