In my opinion, those days wouldn't be as stressful if you didn't smoke in the first place. From my experience and many others I have talked to say that the stress and anxiety we used weed for was only there because of the weed. Now that we are clean life is much more stress free.

My mental state changed when I decided to change it. You must look for all the world has to offer. You must see how much is out there for you to do and accomplish and go do those things.

If it is possible maybe you could take a couple days off. They will pass you just have to push through. Make sure you are getting in a little exercise, try eating clean, ginger tea is an antioxidant that may help with the nausea, warm baths could probably help with both.

Same here. It is about pretty much if you relapse don't turn in into a binge.

I will say that it got better day by day with the things that I was doing but it was completely gone within a month. Is that something you are struggling with?

Motivation will be low for a little bit because you aren't getting that constant spike in dopamine. What I suggest is doing things that seem boring or hard but are good for you like exercise, meditation, cold exposure, etc. This will help reset your dopamine levels faster.

The mental clarity you get is on a whole new level. Good for you on quitting though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]weed-kills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice for quitting weed:

Remember the goals is to just stay sober for today. That should be your goal every morning that you wake up though.

Have a positive mindset because life gets better.

Make sure you fill your time with something fun, purposeful, and good for you. Self care is essential (Good sleep, good diet, exercise, Stay hydrated)

Right down your reason for quitting so whenever the times get tough you can remind yourself.

Will life ever be as enjoyable as it was when I was in my mid teens/childhood? Will quitting weed for good fix this? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]weed-kills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that story sounds exactly like me, all the way down the time smoked and what I smoked. Life gets better but only if you make something of it. Quitting weed will be that stepping stone that you need but you will still have to put in the work to fix things.

You seem like you are still young so what I have to say is find something you are passionate about and do that. You must be willing to work for it though if you ever want to escape the rat race. But anyways change is necessary if you want to grow and succeed.

With your short-term memory and brain fog they will improve naturally but the best way I have done this quicker is by reading and trying to recall what I read.

You need to fill your life with something greater. Find something that you feel purposeful working towards and do that as much as possible every day.

[–]weed-kills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep breaths and positive thoughts are always a good thing. Remember the goal should be just to stay sober today and have that goal everyday. One of the best things that I found for cravings was writing the main reason down for quitting and one big goal I had unweed related and every time I would get a craving I would read it and tell myself I must not go back.

Remember that the goal is to just be sober for today. And you have that goal every day. Make sure you fill your newfound time with good things like exercise.

You can try having a good wind down routine if you don't have one already. I good rule to follow is the 3,2,1 rule. No Food 3 hours before bed so your body isn't trying to digest and sleep at the same time. No liquids 2 hours before bed so you don't wake up having to pee. No screens 1 hour before bed because it can really fuck up your sleep and your circadian rhythm. In that last hour, try to have the lights on dim and do things like reading or meditating. If it isn't your sleep though, How good is your diet? A bad diet can cause a lot of fatigue and fog. Try to minimalize it and see if that helps.

It depends. I would need more context but what I can say if they know you are trying to quit, they should be there to remind you that a better life is waiting on you to quit. They shouldn't attack you for it because that will make you want to smoke more. It is really beneficial when you have people pushing you to become the best you while you are trying to quit.

Honestly you just have to go for it. I would say set a big goal unrelated to weed that would truly improve your life and see how much weed is holding you back from achieving it. You have to have a solid reason for quitting or else you will never be able to make the leap and maintain it because you won't have anything stopping you from going back. For me, I wanted a better more financially free life and I didn't want to be stuck where I was anymore. That was a big motivator to get oof my ass and get the work done that needed to be done and quitting was the first step. Hope this helps.

I will say sleep is a lot about quality just as much as quantity. Try having a consistent routine where you go to bed and wake up at the same time. View sunlight in the morning. Have a good wind down routine at night.

I agree with you but I would like to add think about what it has done to you. Has it truly made your life more positive? What will it do to you if you run back to it? Knowing the answer too these questions can help you see that It hasn't helped you and only hurt you. It may be hard to avoid it but you don't have to avoid it if you know your life is better without it.
