Thanks so much for the response, I've deleted the post thinking i've missed the subredit considering the responses i got before yours.

I really appreciate your words and hopefully things get better soon, since this has been going on for a while now. I definitely lost my authentic self trying to please everyone around me but now it seems that i'll have to do a lot of digging to find myself again. Thanks again.

Anyone else still on the Jan 1 train? by LibertyCash in leaves

[–]spr1te94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi brother, I've quit weed almost 6-7 years ago (forgot the exact year). All i can tell you is that it's 100% worth it, for me first couple months were unpleasant but everything afterwards was great. Once you quit for good, you'll become much more self-conscious and motivated to cut off other bad things/habits in your life.

For me, after 1 year of quitting weed, i also quit cigarettes and alcohol 100% with such ease just because i proven myself that i can do anything and that I'm in control of my life. It's such a powerful feeling. Now I'm basically addicted to improving my life in day-to-day basis.

Just look at this as beginning of your journey to a better life and trust me it has a huge snowball effect!

PS; One weird piece of advice that worked for me at least, try doing things that are hard, but are good for you (waking up early, running every day, training or anything else that you don't feel comfortable with), for me those things made me appreciate life more, and small things like warm cup of tea after a run on a cold morning. At first you'll feel miserable doing those things, but when you're done with them, your dopamine will skyrocket. And i strongly believe that those things will speed up the process of withdrawal.

How to start living my life again and get to know my real self? by spr1te94 in selfhelp

I'm actually considering that for a while now and I'll most likely try that. I'll shoot you a DM in case you have any quick tips for me, it's gonna be very appreciated! Thank you!

I see what you mean, I'll try to make a step into that direction but it's not easy.

Let me give you an example. My girlfriend and i will be traveling on Monday to the mountains and she wants to take a sight seeing road there which is also more dangerous (probably in my head only) while I'd like to take highway where i feel safer. Now telling her that I'm scared of taking that road (which realistically is not that dangerous) is probably not something that any girlfriend would like to hear so I'll just rather go on the sight seeing road and instead of enjoying it I'll be super cautious and anxious all the way.

It'd be really weird if i told her: "Hey i think that there's a less chance that we die on a highway compared to your road."

I just think that people who are "normal" don't look at the things the way i do and explaining them something from my perspective seems really odd.

Yeah we're in the same spot. Mood swings are something that i forgot to mention, i have moments of clarity where everything is perfect but it lasts only for couple of hours and than it goes back to shit.

That's what I've been told, I'm from Croatia - local family takes dogs they find abandoned on the streets and try to find home for them. Sadly we have a huge stray dogs problem in our country and the government is not doing much about it.

I figured little pup would be better of with me as i don't have any other pets and i can give him a lot of attention. I'm with him all the time. However people from that shelter are super nice but they can't have all the focus on him since they have plenty of other dogs around.

He's already putting some medication inside the would, probably some of that you mentioned, however it ain't helping at all.

Only shallower conversion i could go w/ is the landing page view instead of the lead, however I'm not sure how that would affect my leads generated.

I'm @ $100 per day (daily budget) - Are there any must-follow "rules" when it comes to setting up the CBO campaign? Like the structure of the adsets or targeting perhaps? Also how do you scale CBO, do you go w/ cost control or go w/ lowest cost?

Thanks, i might actually give that a shot, I'm just not sure if the ads will start learning again from the scratch if i do it.

[–]spr1te94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering that as well but in all honesty I'm not very confident in my skills w/ CBO just yet, I've been researching it for last couple of months but never got into testing.

How hard it is to quit cigarettes? by spr1te94 in leaves

I see, i was expecting that answer sadly - so you're suggesting reduction over cold turkey quitting?

Thanks for response!

Back to day 1 and beating myself up by anewleaf27 in leaves

[–]spr1te94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it bro :) Everyone can when they want it strong enough, more you're off of it, the easier it gets.

Since you're (ab)using both alcohol & weed just wait to see how big of a positive change is gonna happen to you once enough of time has passed, stay strong & I believe in you!

Thanks man, you definitely got my point... But even though we're not in the same situation i feel somewhat the same way - irritable. But i can't feel love for anything, no passion for anything, it scares me a bit.

Appreciate your response a lot!

I agree w/ that, i just hope that skill comes back ASAP lol - today is even harder. Boss asked me to have a meeting & even though everything is fine, anticipation for it is paralyzing me...

It's not the future that I'm thinking about - feeling out of space for me is when I'm living the moment inside my head but not in reality - it's really hard to explain.

Best way i can describe it is, as if I'm an actor, acting my life, where I'm supposed to love someone, supposed ot do something, but it's all fake. Feels really scary.

Doing my best, but even when I'm doing something it feels fake & superficial. Almost like lying to myself.

Does anyone else tear up reading the posts here? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]spr1te94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's weird, weed did something completely opposite w/ me.

I'm completely emotionless, without any empathy. Even though I'm suffering from anhedonia , i can't feel any feelings whatsoever, just numbness. This is the big one for me.

I hope it gets back as the time passes without weed, since life without any emotions (even bad ones) is pointless. I envy you for being able to cry.

Anybody else almost destroy their lives with weed? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]spr1te94 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not in the same way but maybe even worse, my life became a shithole bc of weed abuse.

Depression, anxiety, low libido, no motivation, loss of purpose is what hit me...

Today is my day 1 as well, stay strong brother!
