Weed addiction

Hi all, I don't really no what to say about this but after 11 years of smoking from cheese to gelato a lot has changed in the weed game, stronger strains a vast array of flavours and with all the reviews it would seem there was a strain for anything, well let me tell you, there's not!. I'm at the point where I feel I'm done with weed (hopefully) it has caused me nothing but grief since I started, I have no real friends not much experience in any kind of work background, failed in all past relationships and no longer have anything left to loose all from bud! I sound and feel pathetic right now just talking about it i mean hey it's only a plant!! I smoked everyday for literally 11 years but in the past two months cut down drastically. I now feel it's time to just do my rip no matter the ups and downs it can't be worse.then feeling like this all the time. So to mark my day one I fought id post on here, I've read a lot of forums about this and seen quite the quit rate, I know there must be a lot of people going threw the exact same problems so maybe we can all help each other out abit! I would love to here other people's past experiences with quitting,

Hey its tough

Just dont give up. You feel like crap for the moment but everyday is a new day you wil start to see the change you wish for. Get to an NA and grt a sponsor asap. Making the change to want to quit is a big first step.

Welcome aboard

I finally quit pot over a decade ago, after nearly 30 years so it's very possible,
One of the best decisions I ever made

I quit weed about a year and a half ago. I used to mix it with beer. Alcohol was harder to give up. But giving up weed can be done. Good luck to you.

I have never abused pot. My issue has always been with alcohol. But I totally support you in your sobriety and glad you are here. I’m sure many here have experienced what you are going through. I hope you will keep reading and posting here. This is a great community. By the way, I did go back to pot about a year ago. I had been sober from alcohol for several months and pot became recreationally legal here. So for a brief while I justified using and thought it would help with anxiety. But that didn’t last long. It never felt right to me because I realized I want to be sober from all substances and addictive forces. I realized I was still searching outside myself for happiness. True happiness can only come from within, and requires a spiritual existence. Anyway, thought I’d share that. Good luck in your journey.
