Reasons to quit

Hey guys, I made a list of reasons why I’m quitting. Maybe it will help someone here too. I’m on day 7 after a relapse.

Reasons I’m quitting weed:

•	Lower performance and focus at work

•	Choosing travel destinations only based on whether they are weed-friendly

•	Difficulty speaking clearly and expressing thoughts clearly

•	Being high from morning to night just isn’t normal

•	Feeling ashamed of the habit

•	Low energy levels

•	Lack of motivation

•	Constant brain fog

•	Driving under the influence

•	Wasting money

•	Worse mental health

•	Weed is fun only for a short time — after a few months you’re just using it just to function

•	Constant anxiety (for example being scared someone from work will call while you’re high)

•	Inability to focus on things for a longer period of time

•	People losing respect for you

•	Poor sleep and waking up still feeling stoned and groggy in the morning

•	Addiction is progressive — if I keep going it won’t stay “just weed” forever, sooner or later alcohol or other substances will creep in

Day 7 now. Taking it one day at a time. 💪
