Hi RaiseAnchor!
Welcome to the forum. This place is amazing, but I don't have to tell you that.
I was a drinker and toker for a LONG time and I quit booze long before I quit pot. Pot has that insidious quality, especially with so many areas of the world legalizing it. But if you're an addict, you're an addict and it doesn't matter if it's legal or not.
I joined SR when I was 3 months off alcohol. PAWS was hitting me hard and I needed some education. Then later, I was able to quit pot and stay stopped with the help from this site.
I celebrated 2 years off dope yesterday. (Yay!) I never thought it was possible. But it is.
Sounds like you are taking the right steps. I would also read all the threads you can on this forum. Live here if you have to.
Change up your routine. During those times when you'd pick up, go out for a walk. Sounds cliche, but take up a new hobby. Joins some groups, seek out sober connections. Join NA or AA if you need to.
But most all, keep posting here. If you fall, post here. If you succeed, post here.
Hang in there. You can do it.
