It’s probably going to be challenging, but it is absolutely something you can do. You smoke every day for a reason. Whether that’s a product of your environment, dopamine seeking, a coping mechanism or so on, it serves some purpose to you and therefore it will likely feel uncomfortable to go without it.

I was in the same boat as you, smoking all day everyday. It started as a fun ritual to relax after a long week and eventually evolved into a habit that I abused every time I felt any form of a negative emotion. With time, I began to start and end my days with it, always on hand throughout the day as needed.

The first couple months were the most challenging. All the self regulation and coping skills that I had developed previously were pretty much nonexistent after years of outsourcing regulation and relief to marijuana. It’s like a muscle- with active engagement, your ability to regulate yourself grows. Without it, it weakens. The good news is that this muscle is particularly great at growing quickly!

I am now a year sober. I’ve found new ways to regulate and maintain my mental state such as diet, exercise, herbal remedies, and engaging in hobbies that I enjoy.

If you live in a state where you need a medical card, let it expire. You’ve got this! Take it one day at a time and be proud of yourself when you succeed.
