3 days after 12 years

Recovery

Hi everyone. :sun_with_face:
I stopped smoking marijuana 3 days ago, threw my gravity bong in the trash [where it belongs]. Weed just wasn’t working for me anymore. It was sapping my life force, every single day since I was 18 years old. I’m 30 now and it’s time to move on.
And I have to say, It feels amazing to breathe deeply again without coughing.

As I said in my profile, it’s not how long you’ve been sober that counts for everything; it’s your level of determination to stay sober. And btw I’m so happy to be alive today.

Happy Friday everyone 🫶🏽🤠

Welcome Sally. I had the similar results and experiences with smoking marijuana. It slowly sucked the life out of me. It grounded my life to a halt many years ago. I quit for 27 years. Once I started back up again (just to help me fall asleep lol), it slowly became my escape from reality over the next 5 years. It controls me. I can’t control it. Good that you see what it’s doing to you. You will others say they can use it, and it helps them with their anxiety. I’m open to believing that to be truer for them. However, for me it’s gotta be a hard no.
