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. 💪
