Quitting was…. Easy??
I expected to have a much harder time after 7+ years of HEAVY daily use. I weened off of flower, then the vape, then edibles. I was irritable and had weird dreams for the first 10 days. But overall, off the bat I feel so full of energy, so clear headed, I feel like my eyes are brighter and my mind is sharper. I know it’s not always so easy, but wanted to share a positive experience to encourage anyone who needs to hear it. I lived in fear of the emptiness without the comfort of weed for so long; I’m here to tell you that being sober actually feels so good!
Editing to add that I was so scared of the withdrawals that it put me off of quitting UNTIL I knew I was in the right place physically, mentally and emotionally to be able to handle it. I wouldn’t have been ok trying to quit during darker times in my life and I don’t regret using it as a clutch in those times. It was a good friend to me and I wouldn’t have had such a positive experience quitting if I hadn’t waited.
