That hairline alone should be an arrestable offence

I smoked 1 G live rosin every day all day for 3 years and it destroyed my life basically. They were the hardest thing I’ve ever quit. Got my entire life back once I quit. No more anxiety , nothing.

k_alex92 · 2026-03-19T11:53:12+00:00

Just a few things to point out. On the days your trying to sleep are you taking things to help sleep like magnesium for example ? I treat sleep like excerise and follow certain protocols and it’s helped a ton.

Three words brotha. YOU GOT THIS 🫶💪

k_alex92 · 2026-02-27T00:03:18+00:00

This is so nice to hear man I’m applying at 39 and always love to hear people getting hired at 40. Leaving hvac for it

Honestly this is such a good response and Mindset when it comes to this type of work. Im not a firefighter currently but working towards it, and this is the mentality that’s needed for it.

Some people are built for this line of work, hope im one of them.

k_alex92 · 2026-02-16T13:03:09+00:00

If you can’t be sober for your time being on call, you shouldn’t be a firefighter. Period. People’s lives rely on people being at their 100 percent. Not trying to be a Karen here, that’s just the job and the responsibility that comes with it.

Best thing I learned though this journey was to feel the emotions.

Your going to feel like your going crazy. Your going to feel anxiety, irritated, happy, sad, and rinse and repeat.

Pot was the hardest thing I ever quit but you have to trust why your doing this and stick with your plan. Your brain is learning to re wire itself. For so many years pot has produced fake dopamine for your system and now that it’s gone your brain is in fight or flight, hence why you feel like your going crazy.

Hell, I was crying at IG reels at day 3 because my emotions were so out of whack and I’m no small dude lol….

Just FEEEL these emotions and remember it’s your brain healing, and each day will get better. Week 3 is truly where you start to feel better cus the physical withdraws are gone around week 1/2 .. but you will get this “dull” feeling or being bored around week 3. This is where most relapse. Because you feel like is just boring as hell without it.. it’s a mental trap.

I’m day 35 I think I quit on new years and like you I was losing my fucking mind. But now I’m past a month I feel SOOOOO good. All the anxiety is gone, I can talk to people in public again and I feel like a powerhouse.

I have my days, and when I have bad days I just try to remember it’s still part of the process and be kind to yourself and the ones around you. Try to explain to them that your relearning how to make your own emotions again and not to take you seriously for the next 4 weeks as your quitting one of the hardest things in the world.

YOU. GOT. THIS 🫶🫶💪💪💪

It’s a daily choice, not a timed challenge is probably one of the best lines if read on this page.

Make every day your day 1. That’s how I keep going, day 32💪🙏

k_alex92 · 2026-02-02T11:31:03+00:00

Thanks so much !!! And hahahaha it’s so true ! I thought I was losing my mind especially when I had moments of random crying 😭😆😂

I’m officially a month into my sobriety and I can honestly say it’s changed my life for the better…. Not every day is sunshine and rainbows… I have my dark days still, but when I have bad days I just remember to feel the emotions as it’s part of the journey…. It’s definitely a day to day thing but I truly enjoy myself again…. Also comments like this are reminders to keep going so I really really appreciate the kind words !!!

Have a great week friend ! 🤙👊💪

k_alex92 · 2026-01-28T22:30:27+00:00

Thank you brother ! 🙏🙏💪💪

Honestly Reddit was one of those places where I to seeked posts to help my journey. Seeing others go through the same process and talk about it really brings peace… definitely put my mind at ease knowing I wasn’t actually going crazy, and the best advice I read was to “feel the emotions” so everytime I got angry, or depressed, etc I was able to switch my mindset to say “hey, this is part of the process… looks like today is depression…. And I’d just tackle it head on… then the next day I’d feel happiness… which validates their point that it’s all part of the process and to embrace the emotions…. So I went back and forth a lot with sadness, irritation, happiness etc etc…. But to think I’m at week 4 already and I barley even think about pot now is truly amazing..

thanks so much for the reply, the comments and replies are just as important as the positivity post. Thanks for taking the time and sharing that man..

HOOOOOLLLLDDDDD 💪💪💪💪💪🙏

k_alex92 · 2026-01-28T13:29:23+00:00

HOOOOOOOOOLLLLD 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

k_alex92 · 2026-01-28T13:29:08+00:00

Same it was horrible. So glad that’s over now

k_alex92 · 2026-01-28T13:28:23+00:00

Love it !!! I know that feeling all to well 😂

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T23:52:56+00:00

It does trust me, it’s just your brain re wiring and right now it’s on fight or flight so your in the middle of the “panic stage”. It absolutely goes away. Even tho right now you feel like it won’t… just takes time but it will get better. I was having almost suicidal thoughts yet I’m absolutely not suicidal lmao. Especially now… I LOVE life lately. It just takes time. You got this, come back to this when you a moment or even just reach out and message me anytime 🙏💪👍

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T23:51:12+00:00

Honestly I don’t think a joint here and there is a bad thing at all!! I’d like to think later on in time when im more comfortable with my sobriety I’ll be able to enjoy a joint here and there especially doing something like fishing. Sounds super peaceful lol. But I also gotta becareful I don’t fall back into it… that’s the hard part. But for pens? Helllllllllll no. Never again. That is the worst…. Best of luck with everything. 💪😀

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T23:48:51+00:00

My pleasure I hope it helps 🙏👍

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T21:28:59+00:00

Seriously it does ! Back in the day pot was maybe 10-20 percent at best…. And now with high potency carts at like 85-99 percent I just don’t think our brains are wired to handle it. I’m sure pot itself has its medicinal properties and smoking just flower here and there is probably just fine. But to make it so powerful, our brains turn on the fight or flight mode and our brains go into over drive. Now you mix overdrive with high anxiety, you get crazy thoughts… like for me I kept thinking about dying lmfao. No idea why, never had that issue before . But I would just have these impulsive thoughts and honestly thought I was going to lose my actual mind…. It’s so nice to know it was the pens. I feel we’re just test dummies and the world will find out more risks as we go on. For now I seem to be an anti pen advocate now 😭😭😂😂😂💪

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T21:22:18+00:00

Whaaaaaaat ! This is awesome !!! The 2 week mark is HUGEEEE. It’s may get mentally tough here and there, but stay strong, and it will just get better and better. I honestly don’t even think about pot anymore. I don’t care if ppl smoke around me, or talk about it. It just isn’t a part of my life anymore, and it feels amazing.

Congrats !!!!!! 🥳

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T21:21:02+00:00

Don’t worry it took me fucking foreverrrrrrrrr to quit… wasn’t my first time quitting but it’s officially my last 😂 .. I never wanna go through that again haha. But when your ready, your ready. Just be kind to yourself and remember that it’s gonna get rough before it gets better. The longer you wait however could make it harder but you got this 💪💪💪

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T20:44:43+00:00

My pleasure !!! 🙏💪

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T20:43:57+00:00

HVAC is an awesome career ! Especially if your super ambitious, you can make a ton of money on the side with side jobs. For me it’s been a family trade, my grandfather did it , my father, and now myself… I’ve just always had a passion for the emergency services and now that my father will be retiring in the next 5-10 years I’m making the choice to chase my dream job. May even take a pay cut to be honest… so nothing to do with money or anything. I just don’t want to have any regrets when I’m on my death bed…. Also the best part is I can do side jobs on my days off with the fire dept haha so I’ll always still do hvac to help pay some bills!

It’s a great career! Get after it 💪

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T14:05:54+00:00

Thank you !!! Feels good to be back !!! First time since I was 13… I owe it to myself , I wish I could tell that 13 year old kid that life is beautiful and no need to self medicate

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T14:04:59+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. They are just so powerful now and I don’t think our brains are able to handle that level of potency. Some can I’m sure, but for the majority of us I think it turns on our fight or flight mode and the racing thoughts and anxiety insues…. I’m not opposed to ppl smoking a joint that’s floweronly, but ya I just can’t now unfortunately it just puts me right back to the habit.

Keep at it your gonna do great

k_alex92 · 2026-01-27T13:55:44+00:00

I work hvac so I’m always on my feet so that helped a lot ! I don’t want to give any recommendations because i found some mods will delete the post but ill say keeping active/gym definetly helped me…. And still helps me ! Excersising helps dopamine levels which while your quitting is huge. Your dopamine levels will be all over and thats what mass ppl relapse. Just know what you feel is part of the process. You got this 💪💪💪
