out of sight out of mind i have a gift for cutting ties it’s not that I’m cold though that is true or that I’m cruel though that’s true too

I’m just tired you see of pretending to be nice and sweet when I’m a fire raging A river roaring An avatar soaring I am anything, everything, darling all except boring

❌addiction rant❌

One thing I struggle with a lot is addiction and substance abuse. I started smoking 🍃 daily during quarantine and it got to the point I needed to smoke multiple times a day every day and without it I'd completely meltdown.

I finally quit in July 2022, and even though its been several months I still struggle. The cravings are worst during times of stress or pain. I recognize I have an addictive personality, and that swapping one addiction for another isn't going to help me.

I have to learn to sit with the pain and discomfort and thats probably the hardest part of all. The therapy I've done over the last year has made it possible for me to function sober.

I guess I just feel confused sometimes, and I'm sure a lot of people feel this way when they give up their drug of choice too. Missing it, and constantly craving it during times of upset, trying to justify using one more time, bargaining with themselves that they can handle it this time and rationalizing how it would do more good than harm.

Honestly, I think it the cost of it wasn't so high I'd probably still be smoking to this day. It's especially hard when the people around me are still doing it regularly, because the smell and knowing its around makes me want it more.

I know that I needed to quit in order to grow as a person, I just wish that it wasn't so fucking difficult.

Day 2

It is actually amazing to me how much control smoking pot had over my life. It is the beginning of day 2 and I feel totally weird, discombobulated and way out of my element.... which is what I expected, but dang it’s unnerving!

I feel like these first few weeks will be very difficult at work - no one else around me is going to know that inside I feel totally off. I think this is probably why it’s so hard to stick with it.

Already noticed a bit of a difference in my dreams...i.e. I actually had some! 

Super looking forward until it’s day 365 and these cravings and feelings start to go away!

Decision day!

Today, i decided i was fed up and had enough of being a stoner. I woke up and the first thing that was on my mind was a spliff .. and so i went and had one that was around 8:30am, I'm off work because i had surgery last Thursday and i should be recovering, easing myself back into day to day life, but i have just abused being able to be stoned. I normally smoke when i finish work and then throughout my time not working, whilst I'm with my partner with my family before i go out. It is literally part of my life, 

I love weed and don’t believe it is poisoning, i understand how people like me abuse and suffer from addiction to things, may it be anything. I would love to have a relationship with weed where if i fancied doing it one evening i could, and not have to make sure its there so basically eliminating the addiction. 

I have been smoking weed on and off for the last 10 years, but 5 very heavy years of smoking probably 60-80 £ a week. I am a functioning stoner which i mean by going on with my day to day life but not to my most productive and most certainly not my happiest. 

I have experienced mental health problems since entering adulthood, depression and anxiety .. both due to cannabis. Granted many things have happened during my time to add to my depression but cannabis has just been used to suppress these feelings making them even worse. 

I have put on a lot of weight, become very unhappy with life and just hoping that this month of pure detox will kick me into the right direction. I think by me using a one-month goal is me being realistic lol, it really helps my mum is a stoner too and is joining me on this hell of a journey!

Marijuana is a much bigger part of the American addiction problem than most people - teens or adults - realize.

reasons i’m abstaining from smoking weed:

-laziness: -not cleaning up after myself; apartment gets really messy; items get broken or lost -not exercising; body/mind feels unhealthy; don't look as good as i would like to -not actively working on my creative pursuits / or working on transitioning into being "my own boss" -not a great partner to my boyfriend; not at my best -too sleepy all the time / unable to focus / very low motivation

-confusion: -general life directional confusion -confusion about my boyfriend’s intentions / angry and confused/circular arguments -eating too much / munchies

-covering up my emotional issues & problems with smoking rather than addressing them -"needing" weed to "balance out" -using it as a reward system, rather than putting in the effort to achieve great things, which are their own reward

-dreams are more interesting and vivid / informative when i haven’t been using <this list isn't exhaustive or complete / it's a start>

basically i think that using weed dumbs me down. i feel like i'm missing out on life / walking around in a haze. it didn't used to be this way AT ALL. years ago, smoking seemed to unleash creative energy, encourage my focus and flow of intelligent thoughts, foster connections between separate ideas... it isn't that way anymore. i'm hoping that taking it one day at a time and writing out my thoughts/feelings as i go through this process will be helpful. i've quit countless times in the past, for as much as a month at a time. going back to weed after these breaks has been frustrating, so... here i am.
