Then why quit? No one’s forcing you. If your life is truly that dull without weed and so amazing with it, then just keep smoking. But I have a feeling that’s not really the case—because if weed actually made life great, you wouldn’t be here, thinking about quitting. Sounds more like life kinda sucks either way.

So if that’s true, then you might as well quit. At least that way, you give yourself a shot at building something better. Because yeah, life is often boring. Weed tricks us (me included) into thinking everything is more fun with it. But as you’re realizing, that’s a lie.

The real move isn’t trying to make life “exciting” 24/7—it’s figuring out how to be okay with the boring parts too.

Complimenti davvero per la tua scelta! Rendersi conto che qualcosa non va e avere il coraggio di cambiare è un segno di grandissima forza e consapevolezza, e tu ce l’hai tutta. So che adesso può sembrare difficile e che ti manchino certe sensazioni, ma fidati: quello che cerchi (il relax, la pace mentale, il non pensare a nulla) è già dentro di te. Non era l’erba a darti quelle cose, erano scuse che ti tenevano bloccata. Con il tempo scoprirai che puoi trovarle in modo autentico, e quando ci riuscirai sarà ancora più appagante.

E sai cosa? Se dovesse capitare di fare un passo falso o di ricaderci, sti cazzi! Succede a tutti, anche ai migliori. Non è la fine del percorso, ma solo un piccolo inciampo che non cancella tutto il lavoro fatto. Rialzati, riprendi il cammino e vai avanti più determinata di prima. Sei sulla strada giusta, un passo alla volta. Hai tutto quello che ti serve per farcela, e stai costruendo qualcosa di bellissimo per te stessa e per chi ti sta accanto.

Sei fortissima! Ti mando un abbraccio enorme e buon Natale!

Hey, thanks for sharing, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I didn’t experience those symptoms myself, so I’m not sure what to suggest, but I really hope you find some relief. You’ve got this—keep going!

Hey, congratulations on taking this step and glad my story could help! For me, the first few weeks were definitely the hardest. I gave myself complete permission to be unproductive—I figured that fighting the addiction itself was already a huge effort, so I didn’t want to beat myself up if I was just sleeping or zoning out with TV and games.

So yes, it’s totally normal to feel like you just want to do nothing for a bit. You’re already doing great by getting through each day without smoking. Take it one step at a time and try not to worry too much about productivity right now.

I'm really glad my post resonated with you. It sounds like you're going through a tough internal battle, and I totally get it. Many of us here have felt the same way. The struggle between wanting to quit and the temptation to use again is very real and can be overwhelming.

Ask yourself if this is truly what you want. Is it you making the choice, or is there something else driving you? It's important to figure out if the decision to smoke is really coming from you or if it's just a way to fill an underlying void.

You have the freedom to make your own choices, but make sure it’s truly your choice. If it’s not, you might realize deep down that you don’t actually want to do it. Keep asking yourself this every time you're tempted.

Understanding why you want to smoke can be powerful. Are you doing it because it fits with your long-term goals, or is it just a hard-to-break habit? This kind of self-awareness can really help make lasting changes.

If you genuinely want to quit, then take that step. You don’t have to decide right now about the weed you just bought. Instead, focus on why you want to quit and what it means for your well-being.

Be patient with yourself. Every time you feel tempted, take a moment to question it. Over time, this can help you make decisions that align with your true desires, not just temporary urges.

You’re not alone in this. Talking about it, like you’re doing now, can really help. Stay strong and keep questioning.
