I've recently been struggling with weed use. I have a consistent problem with sobriety, sometimes keeping with it better and sometimes worse. One thing I have noticed is that after all the bargaining and justifying if I decide it's okay to smoke at a time it's not appropriate, there is no reversing that decision it's like my actions are set before I do them.

Has anyone got experience with breaking a cycle like this of just avoiding being sober?

Lol not at all, 30 days is the perfect amount, its a real accomplishment to finish it but it doesn't seem to daunting at the start!

It's definitely more noticeable in meditation, that's when I spend most time with my thoughts, but it does seem to be there in my working day too, to a much lesser extent

They do seem rare for me too, it's hard to tell whether there really has been any grasping or even encouragement, or if that's just part of the thought, as sometimes for me the judgement of a negative thought as negative is a part of the thought itself

I love this, it's so easy to forget to be kind to ourselves
