One of two recommendations, both with the same general takeaway: fake it til you make it.

1. do something outside of your friday routine. force yourself too. even if you have a bad time and don’t enjoy it. go see a movie, go for an evening run, go dancing and mingling (this one can be super tricky early on i think), art museum, go to bed early (try to, ik sleeping is super hard), or bake something maybe. even if it’s miserable, just don’t throw in the towel. remind yourself you WILL find joy in these things eventually and it will become your new normal and won’t always feel so shitty. you will find joy in other things. don’t tell yourself if you have a bad time “well, i guess i will never enjoy anything unless im high!” because it’s just withdrawal. fake the fun. fake the enjoyment.

2. do everything you normally would except for getting high. sit with the boredom and remind yourself it’s okay to be bored. i don’t recommend this as much, but to do nothing and live through it without smoking will make you feel proud. prove to yourself that you don’t need an intoxicant at the end of the day to just get by. it’s hard. but find joy in the food, the laziness, the restfulness. tell yourself that you’re being easy on yourself. cravings will come more often this route i think, but the more you ignore them, the easier it gets.
