People who quit smoking weed, how long did it take you to feel better?
Hello people, I decided to finally stop smoking weed. My plan was to slow down, or potentially stop smoking for weekdays only, and permit myself to just smoke on the weekends. But I realized it's just best if If i completely stop all at once.
My biggest issue is I have 2 job seasonal jobs, 1 summer and 1 in winter, and from early March till around the start of May its really a dead period, no work what so ever from those 2 jobs. And since I have no work, I get bored really quickly and just end up smoking weed through out the day and play video games. I am very financially independent so not working for that time period doesn't really affect me, but yes I could be doing more productive things, sometimes I want to but then decided to just have a little joint in the morning and there goes the productivity for the day.
Now summer is when it gets crazy busy with my work, so it's a lot easier to me to slow down/quit when I'm my mind is busy through out the day. It's only been 3 days so far but I believe I'm in the right path. I still have some weed in my house, a couple of roaches laying around but my mind is focus on my job right now and not smoking. I will be cleaning my house this weekend and getting throwing all my weed in the trash for good.
In the weekdays I would usually smoke 1 or 2 joints after supper and a lot more on the weekends, but part of the reason for quitting is I was obviously thinking about it for the last couple of weeks and I really miss my "old me"
My last good break was about 4 years ago when I did a 40 days backpacking trip in Colombia & Peru, I met some people on my 2nd or 3rd day of the trip, got offered a joint, smoke a couple of puffs and then didn't smoke for the rest of the trip. When I finally got back home, I still had weed in my house but didn't smoke anything for another 4-5 months until I had a breakup in my relationship and starting smoking again.
And I really miss that sober period, I was way more motivated, especially in the morning, more sharp, faster though/thinking process, and WAY more social.
Been having a real hard time sleeping in the last 3 days, go to bed at 10pm, toss and turn till midnight-1am, and wake up at 4:30am-5am. But I'm really dedicated this time.
How long did it take for you guys to "become yourself again" When did you start feeling better overall after smoking?
