A bit late but I'm so happy you made it to one year, that's so great! I've been thinking about cannabis a lot more lately, but this thread always gives me the extra kick up the backside I need to stay away from it.
Congrats!

Well, I am a couple weeks past 15 months. I am still staying strong with this. I am so glad that I gave up the weed. It was a struggle for me in the beginning, but I feel so much more emotionally stable.
I was reading back a bit in the early parts of this thread. And I can see how I've changed in a lot of ways.
I can remember when I first read this, I felt offended at the implication that everything I thought was BS since I was still smoking. Now I totally agree with it. I look back on it and see how much being clean and sober has changed my perspective.
Recently, I've been struggling with a few things in my personal life. I just wanted to remind myself today about how far I have really come. I have experienced so much growth and change in my life since I quit drinking and smoking weed. Quitting all that stuff was the best thing I possibly could have done for myself.

The only way for me that worked for me is that get 100% sober.
After three months or so I started to feel more grounded and I had enough mental capacity to start to work on the damaged areas in my life that weed and my addicted-behaviour had created.
I thought a lot of things about myself and my life, while smoking and drinking and this and that. 99% of it was bull$%^&.

Most excellent. Unlike you I found that it was when I quit drinking that the old weed became it's own nasty addiction. I had never smoked all day, or even everyday, or even in the morning; but then I did. It became the thing I did rather than drinking alcohol. I was absolutely floored that I could become addicted to this benign substance (so I thought). I've been off of it and the drink for 6 glorious months and can report that my brain has turned back on - I'm REMEMBERING things. Actually I'm remembering everything. AND when I run, I can run and not breath hard - I love to run. I'm so glad to hear that you have plugged into the fact that you want to be healthier too. Good job - you're very smart.
