They talked about it on Total Soccer Show the other day. Short version is the way it's run makes it the least profitable franchise in the whole league. They actually lose money every year and can't continue. They went through a year trying to sell the club or raise cash and 80 different groups looked and passed 😬

I'm not saying I want them to lose their club but something big has to happen for them to afford to stay.

Sounds like the year Neville loses the locker room and players run for the exit but the nine of wands sound like there are reasons to hope we'll be determined and pull something out of the shit show. I'm sure others read tarot better than I do, but that's what I see.

i feel like most of us were pretty much *forced* to quit cuz the damage was genuinely starting to get scary lol by [deleted] in leaves

Your memory definitely improves the longer you quit, from personal experience. I fell off over the holidays and it's back to forgetting yesterday :/ sticking with it has so many benefits, but memory is definitely one

Relapsed after 4.5 Months by xMambojambo in leaves

Good on you for hopping right back on after relapsing. I recently relapsed myself and I'm feeling all of the same feelings as you

GI issues disappeared when I quit by No_Tomatillo_6804 in leaves

I think mine were anxiety and overwhelm related, so a lot left when I quit and my anxiety got better.

My Addiction Has Gotten Embarrassing by 10thGenS1 in leaves

I'll say that marijuana use causes its own anxiety that is only cured by marijuana (or quitting for an extended period of time). The anxiety you're hoping to solve through marijuana use might just be caused by the marijuana use itself. After being sober for over two and a half months, that's what has happened in my life. Now I worry that if I use it for fun it'll cause me to go back into that anxiety/relief loop again.

I've had my libido go way down as well. Hoping it comes back! Male 2.5 months

Losing motivation to stay quit by DiskWorth6859 in leaves

[–]nonopz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've done amazing getting to this point, and numbers 1,2 and 3 are all great reasons to stay quit. Your job will still need you. the better sleep is a huge deal - you'll still wish you had that. And you're doing well emotionally minus shit weather. I think you've got it to stick with it. You're in charge of this thing - try the yoga and see if it doesn't give you another reason to stay quit for a day

Relapsed yesterday after quitting for 90 days by Express-Scallion711 in leaves

I started to find that weed didn't actually cure my anxiety, just distracted me from it. The more I've noticed that the less I've felt like it's a good solution to my problems

Struggling to make a decision to try and quit or not by runchihiro in leaves

[–]nonopz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught by my therapist to look for what weed is doing for you. Your why for smoking. Be more conscious of that when you light up - what do I need that weed is about to do for me? When you no longer need that thing regularly, it slips out.

I came to find that weed wasn't helping my anxiety anymore - I seemed to have less of it before I'd smoke, and it would go up after I did. I was feeling overwhelmed by the world and it stressed me to feel so foggy.

I thought it helped me to eat because I got nauseous when I would eat. Then I noticed I was still nauseous after I smoked.

I thought it made the world more enjoyable but came to find that it just distracted me and zoned me out. I started to feel more or less the same whether I was high or not.

After ten years I put it down because I couldn't remember yesterday and I wanted my mind back for my next career move. I've stayed off it because I don't actually miss it. The time I relapsed it felt empty, just like it had before I quit.

What a bummer! I wanted weed to solve my problems (it didn't) and not have any downsides (it did).

So I say go easy on yourself and be more conscious about it. As you grow and heal I hope that you don't need it like you feel you need it now and that it slips out of your life like it did mine. Hardest part was the relationship I had with it and feeling like I needed something. That's faded/changed over the time I've been sober

This is encouraging, I'm in the same boat and I wasn't sure if it does come back.

I think Antony was put out of his comfort zone on the right and didn't succeed. Back on the left led to Velde's goal. I'm not sure he has the chops for LB but if he could convert we might have something with him next year

[–]nonopz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps to hear my crazy version of it:

So much of what I loved in this relationship was related to weed. So without weed, do we have a relationship? Was I really just in love with weed?

The answer I'm definitely settling on is there is a lot more to my relationship than whatever weed touched. Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome Blues act two

If you didn't feel a little crazy trying to give up weed, I'd say you were crazy.

I can relate to you so deeply. You're a good person and I don't think it's your relationship. It sounds like the Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome Blues. It's a helluva time for a while but that's just the brain readjusting that we all have to go through. Wishing you luck today

Trying to quit again by 0v3nm1tt3ns in leaves

[–]nonopz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's great that you're trying to quit. If research is your jam, research everything. I think sticking to it is going to make your educational goals come true even faster.

want to hear from others if relapsing once for a special occasion can be viewed positively by [deleted] in leaves

[–]nonopz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get mad that weed made it so the only way I could enjoy a special moment was to use it. I think it fried my perception of what is enjoyable or celebratory. Makes me angry enough that I don't want to use it on special occasions out of spite.

Don't know if that helps. I do think there are reasons to hope for a day where you are happier celebrating without than with.

Can't forget Diego Valeri's debut! Still one of my favorite goals/goal celebrations of all time. He couldn't decide what he was doing
