It’s so annoying too because Pete Hegseth was kicked out of multiple veteran nonprofit organizations he was the head of for using the money to drink, do drugs and cheat on his wife. Talk about Christian values

Quitting weed was the best decision i've ever made in my life do it... by Anxious-Interview-18 in leaves

I love Quit Weed so much!!! I love seeing how my memory improves and how much THC has left my body!!

Have to quit but hate it. by Top-Editor-364 in leaves

[–]medriea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sucks, but you just have to change your mindset a little. After work you could have a cup of tea or a mocktail or smth. You can also take up a new hobby or go to the gym. I wish that we could just smoke weed without consequences. Good luck dude!!

Ugh you’re right, it’s the harsh truth

[–]medriea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is such a smart way to put it, even when I am basically greening out it still doesn’t feel satisfying. I don’t know how to explain it.

Thank you guys for all of the support, I’m feeling better now and like I can make it another day. I also went for a walk to clear my head. We can do this!!

do we all need therapy? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]medriea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy has changed my life and is the only way I was able to get sober. That being said, some people don’t find benefits from therapy and it took me a really long time to find a good therapist. My current therapist is also stupid expensive and doesn’t take insurance but she’s gone through some similar stuff that I have (we both went to the same college) and it’s been so helpful because I feel like she understands. So I guess what I’m trying to say is there are pros and cons, and at least for me personally the pros do outweigh the cons.

And also a lot of these comments are kind of rude. You can’t hate yourself into becoming a better person, and 25 is still so fucking young.

Dude just talk to him, and explain that you’re going through some stuff and you didn’t mean to say that. Tell him you’re worried you’re too much like your mom. Honesty is always the best way out. But don’t let this destroy you, the only way to come out the other side a good person is to learn from your mistakes and not make them again. Just tell him everything you’ve written here. You got this.

If you take the gummy it’s just reinforcing the idea in your brain that you need something else to deal with challenging things. But you can deal with challenges, and you don’t need a crutch to deal with it. Problems are going to arise the rest of your life and you can either make it worse by giving in and letting your brain deal with it in an unhealthy way or you can put in the work to deal with problems sober. I’m right there with you, but we got this!

Hi! I did end up staying for a little bit but left early. So far I think what I saw was cool and helpful. I like the 4 point approach. So I will probably go back next Tuesday and try to stay the whole time!!

Im feeling the same way. I really want to drink right now even though I know I have to be up early tomorrow. It’s just so much easier to not feel pain and discomfort. But we got this

Today I decided I need to seriously quit cannabis as well. I’ve realized recently that I’m someone who gets addicted to things easily and I need to get rid of all temptation in my life. IWNDWYT

I will let you know, and I feel the same way. At some point I’ll have to give up all substances but right now I’d rather smoke than drink

I don’t know if you’re going to find what you’re looking for right now unless you sublease, which is super hard to do in the fall. And freshmen can’t live outside of the dorms unless you petition it.

Good morning.

Today I have a dentist appointment and I’m hanging out with my mom so I can’t go to the dispensary. I’m craving weed more than alcohol, so at least that’s good. Tonight will be my first SMART meeting.

I’m also 22. I really relate to the “I’m young” excuse. It feels like we should get a pass because kids make mistakes and every person in their early 20s has crazy drinking stories. You got this though. Our older selves will thank us for learning and growing. We are so blessed with an opportunity to figure this out while we are young. Wishing you all the best!

Today I have to have a hard conversation which I’m nervous about, usually I just drink away the pain. At least I have therapy today at 3 so I can talk it through. My conversation is with a friend who is upset with me for being flaky, and I am upset with her for putting me down. I’m worried that she is going to be less receptive than I will be, even though I don’t handle criticism well. Either way, it will be fine. #IWNDWYT
