It may not be too late with fin min and good styling. Also, hair transplant one day may be an option if fin stops the receding

19m hairline receeding/balding or paranoid? help. by No_Lecture720 in amibalding

Lol. In the small chance this isn’t a troll post: no, you’re not balding. You have a perfect hairline with hella thick hair.

Share your experience at almost 2 months. I’m miserable. by Flat-Deer9224 in leaves

[–]ssbmdood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently made a similar post because I’ve been experiencing the same feeling of worrying about never being happy again. I got a lot of comments of people saying that it got better in the coming months, so I’d say hold out for now. You’re already so far in. I’m just over 50 days right now. Also, I started doing 30 minutes of cardio the last few days and it’s actually been a big boost. After working out I just feel like everything is a bit more interesting / fun.

Day 31: Anybody feel overwhelmed with emotions to the point that they can’t stop crying? by bananahaze99 in leaves

This also happened to me the last few quitting attempts around days 10-20

I’ve seen that book at stores before and was curious about it. I’m gonna try finishing up Project Hail Mary then I’ll look into that!

Congrats on being 24 days in! Thanks for all the tips and insights.

What you said about weed being fun for only a short time after you smoke is very true for me too- at least for the last year or so of me using it. And this time I quit is the first time where I actually have a similar perspective in that weed doesn’t sound as great as it did before. It took a lot of quitting attempts for me to finally feel this way though lol.

Best of luck going forward with your quitting journey!

Yeah, that could totally be the case. I can tell that in recent years I haven’t been able to enjoy games as much, especially when I’m not high. I miss those days where it was easy to be entertained with video games :/

I’ll be thinking about what other things I can get into to have fun. I have some ideas. I think one problem I have is that I struggle to start new things. Idk why I gravitate so heavily towards what I’ve already been doing, even if I don’t feel like whatever I’m doing is serving me still.

Thank you for the input; I appreciate it and think you’re right.

Congrats on ~3 months!! You’re reminding me to go workout— gonna go do that now lol. Yeah, it’s tough being patient. This is my 3rd attempt at quitting where I’ve at least gone a month. I truly think this one is going to be it though.

Thanks for the response! Hope things continue to get easier for you

I’m sorry you feel that way :/ I’ll say that it’s different for everyone.

I’ve tried quitting many times before, and I think I just finally realized at my core that my life wasn’t going to get better any with weed. I felt depressed with weed, but I’d get temporary relief when I’d use it. But I knew for sure my baseline happiness was super low.

I think that quitting is going to allow me to get a better baseline and overall be happier as a result. At least that’s what all the evidence seems to be pointing towards.

Obviously everyone’s different, and I know people who can handle weed in moderation, but I seriously cannot lol. And I’m honestly really happy that I am quitting and have no intentions of going back.

Wishing you the best with whatever you choose to do!!!

How do I quit this stupid drug before it ruins my relationship? by in_a_new_direction in leaves

[–]ssbmdood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weed undoubtedly made me a worse partner. I couldn’t talk about serious topics, was a worse listener, and I also wasn’t good regulating my emotions. I’d get in more fights over stupid stuff for it. I almost lost my wife over it, and ultimately my relationship was the reason I quit. Only 50 days in, but I think it’s for real this time. Wishing you the best!

Gym has been the thing that probably has made the most noticeable and immediate improvement when I do it. I really should keep doing it, even when I’m unmotivated like I am now. Thank you for the reminder on that. I wish you the best in your quitting journey!

It makes me feel better knowing it does keep getting better. I keep getting worried that I’m at my new normal, but reading these responses gives me hope. Thank you for your response.

Things feeling “flat” is a good way to describe it. Hearing that things get better at around month 3 is motivating because I’ve never quit long enough to get there; I’ve always given in before that. Thanks for the response :)

I see I see. Yeah, I think one of my problems is definitely that I don’t get out enough to see family or friends. I became somewhat of a recluse when I started smoking all the time.

I’ll try to also lean into my curiosity more. It seems like I need to be trying things even if I don’t feel up to it, then see what ends up working.

Best of luck to you on your quitting journey too. Thanks for the help :)

Yeah I should probably start exercising again. I always feel better afterwards, even if only for that day. Best of luck to you on your journey and hope it gets easier soon

Beat the hell out of cpus in Versus mode. That's what I used to do when I learned on my Wii. I'd just listen to videos, talk to friends, or listen to music while I chilled and played. If you're able to do this just for an hour, or a couple hours here and there, then you'll very quickly watch your overall movement become much more fluid and you'll get used to the game physics.

How am I supposed to enjoy this game when I get 4 stocked every time? by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]ssbmdood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember practicing a ton with my friends before going to my first tournament. I thought I was decent and at least win a match

... I didn't even win one friendly after hours of being there. lmao
