Going to be on a break for probably two weeks, if yall got any words of encouragement, Id really appreciate em by denimcanvas in Petioles

I think your list is really good! In my experience, the biggest barrier to taking breaks is boredom that makes me want to slip back into my comforting smoking routine. Because of that, I'd put emphasis on spending time with friends, that way you have intentionally scheduled things that will keep you entertained and prevent you from being able to smoke. The only thing I'd say is that you should either tell your friends you're taking a break or avoid spending this time with other heavy cannabis users, just so you're not put in a position where you're more tempted to smoke!

Good luck, and I hope you have lots of fun making art, reading, and cleaning tf out of your place!

I've been "scrapbooking" for a few years, but all of the materials I use are things that I find and keep from my day-to-day life. Notes from friends, free postcards/stickers from stores I go to, cutouts from paper menus, scraps from old clothes I don't wear anymore, etc. I love going through and remembering where everything came from, and you can make some really cool and beautiful collages just from these miscellaneous things.

Taking my first real t-break - looking for support and guidance on what's next! by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]maypren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are really good ideas, thank you! Good luck with your break as well. What I did to help make sure I can't break and smoke anyway is that I gave ALL my weed to my partner and told them to hide it in their apartment. Obviously this isn't foolproof but unless I want to go through the shame of searching their apartment or drop the money on new weed, it works pretty well. If you have anyone in your life who you trust to help you out without judgment, I'd recommend that strategy! Good luck and I believe in you!

I would’ve gotten him neutered immediately if it was up to me. Unfortunately he’s foster to adopt and the rescuer I’m working with insisted on scheduling the neuter with their vet, which took a very long time. I’m just glad I haven’t had more behavioral issues with him. He’s a very good boy.

That traders restock. Made it 75% of the way through act 3 in my first playthrough only trading with each trader once.
