30 days today!!
Hey all,
Just wanted to make a thank you post to this incredible community for the love and support over the last 30 days and overall throughout this journey.
I was an all day every day smoker for 15+ years who was about to hit a state of psychosis if I didn’t stop. I truly thought my personality and who I used to be was completely gone at this point. Oh man was I wrong and how long I was locked in this weed prison is crazy!
After 30 days I feel like my life and mood did a complete 180 for the better. Of course the first 2 weeks or so were tough, but now that I’m passed that my sleep has been better than ever, my appetite is back in full force and I’m eating more healthy, I’m out socializing again and meeting new people, and my friends and family noticed a drastic change for the better.
My mom said something that warmed and broke my heart at the same time. She told me about a week ago that it was like talking to me at age 15 again and that she thought that part of me was long gone and she wouldn’t see him again. I’ve gotten similar responses from other family members and friends and truly feel it myself too. When I was stoned all day I was so depressed with horrible self esteem issues and truly felt like an alien on this world. I can’t believe how much weed had a part in that and I’m so thankful I took the leap and quit.
Quitting along with therapy, reading, and picking up some new social hobbies has made a world of difference and I just want to thank this community again for making this all possible and to let anyone know that’s struggling, it does get better, day by day, one day at a time. Love y’all! Here if anyone needs to talk!
