1 year today.
Wow. Never thought I could do it. Can't imagine going back.
No, that's not true. I imagine how things would be every time the temptation came up.
Having pot on my mind ALL the time.
Worrying when my stash got low.
Scheduling my life around smoking.
Forgetting important things and letting stuff slide.
Isolating myself.
The self loathing, that was the worst.
And I reinforce my sobriety by enjoying what it has provided.
So much money saved.
Social interaction without awkwardness and worry.
Improved health; better eating habits, no cough, increased mental clarity and attitude, more energy and stamina.
Is there anything I miss about pot? No.
I wish I had done this earlier in my life, but I can't change what has happened.
What I can do is cherish and hold onto my sobriety like the precious thing it is.
My message for those who are struggling:
Never give up. No matter how long you've smoked or how heavy your use is, keep trying.
You can do it.
