Just wanted to share that I'm nearly 3 days sober from smoking weed after smoking every day for around 3–4 years. One thing I've realised already is that keeping busy and distracted is really important. I've been working a lot and trying not to sit around doing nothing because boredom was one of my biggest triggers. The biggest thing, though, is that you have to genuinely want to stop. Nobody can do it for you. For a long time I told myself I couldn't sleep without smoking, and that became an excuse to keep doing it. Now, nearly 3 days in, I've actually managed to sleep without smoking, which proves that a lot of what I believed was in my head. When I first started smoking, it was only to help me get to sleep. Over time, though, it turned into smoking whenever I was bored, before every meal, and basically any chance I got. It slowly became part of my daily routine without me even noticing how dependent I was becoming on it. I'm still at the very beginning of this journey, but I'm already seeing that a lot of the barriers I thought were stopping me from quitting were excuses I'd convinced myself were true. If anyone else is struggling, just know that it is possible, but you have to make the decision for yourself and keep pushing through the uncomfortable first few days. One day at a time 💪
