My introduction!

Hi! I'm 23 and a heavy cannabis user, I've been using it from between 15 to presently, but I'm starting to plan my quitting. I know I'm gonna need quite a bit of support, motivation and kind words at the time as I can be my own worst enemy sometimes :') I'm intending on also kind of detoxing my body at the same time so any tips there would also be much appreciated looked long and hard for an active support forum of this type and look forward to my recovery!

Welcome AnimalPerson!

I think you are making a great decision. I was my own worst enemy, too, and if I had not been able to find a little kindness, I would not be here today. You can be assured of finding kindness and compassion here. We do understand how hard this is.

H and welcome animalperson

I smoked more or less dai;y gfot nearly 30 years so I understand how easy it is to get hooked and how hard it is to break away again.

You'll find a lot of help here, both in this forum and our Marijuana Addiction forum:

Hi AP! I was also a heavy pot user, celebrated 1 month clean yesterday. And I too, wanted to detox. Healthy food, lots of water and sweat was what I did. Lots of physical activity and perspiring. Saunas work too. Sleep can be a big problem and nightmares can be problematic.
Stick close to here and post often. We are here to support you!

Thankyou everyone for such a lovely response! Only in the planning phase but feel positive this is the time! I've had other addictions previous but cannabis has been the only one I've not quit yet!

Just don't make the planning phase too long - why put off starting your new life?
