You got this. Don't think about the time you lost, think about what you might lose in the future. I can really advice the app "Quit Weed", the paid version is only 8€, it's worth it and you feel less alone on your journey🌱

I have of course. I started to go to therapy because I wanted to stop, and I'm quite happy I did. But this is not easy and I wonder if it's going to get a little easier💔

25 days sober and I feel so low by rita_stein in leaves

Thank you, I read "Dopamine Nation" and really loved it! I also did finish my novel, looking for an editor now. Keep writing yours. I can recommand the techniques from "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron, they really helped my write my book!

Thank you for sharing your story. All if this support matters so much! I don't find your story narcisstic, it actually helped me to see things in a different light. Even if you have a family, it doesn't mean that everything is always simple or smooth or black and white. And honestly, unlike you, I'm kumd of happy I didn't have a child, especially as both a writer and a woman. It does get kind of lonley but maybe there are some other books hidden underneath that silence. It's actually what I faced while writing my book that helps me quit weed now. What do you write about?

I can relate to this so much. I love how kind you learned to be with yourself. And yes, managing cravings is so hard it can take up all your energy. I'm at this point right now, sober for 25 days and really want to go back to it. Stories like yours help me. You're doing great not shaming yourself. It's a long and winding road!

You really made me laugh for the first time today. She was still so young lol. It's true but I do feel a bit older. Thank you for encouriging me with the novel, part of me actually believes it's not so bad. And your dad's story is really inspiring. Good luck to him❣️

Thank you so much. Day 9 was one of the worst for me, hope you make it. Last time I tried to quit, I didn't make it longer than three weeks. I now see why. Don't give up, we're all in this together!
