Mostly working on drinking as part of my recovery program but they also want me to quit thc as well. I use it mostly to wind down at night time and be locked in on my journaling and reading. Eventually I'd like to stop. Currently doing edible gummies so atleast my lungs get a break from the vaping. One day at a time I'd say is the motto

yeah friend I have the personality type that makes it devilishly difficult to quit. I got off finally last year, got back on it over the holiday break and it took me 6+ months to get off again. My friend who had been suffering some extremely painful surgery stuff told me it got so bad she was eating 200mg of thc in gummies a day and internally i'm thinking 'that is like, just what i eat to not be grumpy!'.

Especially with all the terrible crap going on in the world and if you have personal crap on top it's just, so difficult.

For me the first 3 days are a nightmare, the first week is hell and the first month is B L A H. After 30 days it's not so bad. I turn into such a mega asshole those first 3 days i try to schedule a camping trip or something so im not near folks and even then my ass will be out there angry at the forest.

Staying away people having it, finding other distractions and finding other healthy dopamine sources are all that helpful.
