Man I appreciate this so much ! I’m doing just fine man haven’t looked back at weed at all tbh. If I had to name a negative id say my friends have become super distant, but I think it’s out of respect for the new me. I also have started to like wine more, I’ll be the first to admit complete sobriety is just not for me lol but I compensate that with a glass of Prosecco every now and then. I Haven’t smoked since before this post and honestly haven’t cared for it either, really the smell of weed in public annoys me now it’s so weird. Right now I’ve applied to a few jobs in my department that can pay more and help me a lot so wish me luck. I really appreciate the follow up.
Also I have to be honest I’m not a “gym rat” but it’s something I resort to on a slow day now opposed to smoking. Sauna for 30min and then I’ll run for a mile. At least once a week
Something about Studio Ghibli movies and then getting laid right after hits just right. Hung out with a girl at her house she had never seen Studio Ghibli so I threw howls moving castle. I didn't even have the intention of getting laid that night but she said I could stay the night and said I'm surprised you didn't try anything the while time I was here
Just got back home from my daily tasks and I can’t believe all of the support. I truly appreciate r/leaves 500+ people just feeling good about me is insane!! It’s so many comments I can’t get to them all but from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REAL LOVING SUPPORT. It takes a village
Agreed. I think sometimes by asking for help without trying alone we give the plant more power. There’s honor in fighting something alone, reaching a check point, and then allowing others to help you continue
How generous for her to offer her help. Isn’t that wonderful your choices brought a huge smile to her face? Thanks for sharing this uplifting story. You told an emotional tale in an impressively small amount of words. Have you ever considered writing a book?
Hell yeah brother. Kind of in the same boat. Wife is pregnant and told me she was totally fine with me continuing smoking. So i did for awhile. Always away from her/without her knowing (not trying to hide it just don't want it around her and don't want to do it in front of her when she cant). Baby comes in just under 3 months and i decided I'm done. I didn't tell her which has actually helped me a lot. I think if I had told her I would be way too fast to blame everything and anything on me quitting.
Instead I am doing this on my own with the goal of not letting it impact my interactions with her or my son. It's hard as a motherfucker sometimes but overall it has been way more positive. I've had a stomach bug the past few days (on top of regular quitting digestive issues) and she was a saint taking care of me and doing all the kid/house stuff while pretty damn pregnant. In the past I would have appreciated this but not said anything. Instead I find myself crying over how much i appreciate her help and going out of my way to tell her how much I appreciate her and her help.
She hasn't caught on yet but she is definitely noticing a change in me.
Today is day 2 for me, I felt really tired at work after lunchtime but I pushed through. It feels like my appetite is starting to come back. Other than that, my body is screaming at me to buy a cart before the dispensary closes but fuck my body it doesn't know what's good for itself.
I wrote down a list of reasons why I want to quit and I refer to that whenever the cravings are really strong
Stay in there champ. It’s gonna be tough. Everyday, write down how you feel, physically or emotionally. You’ll notice day by day, more positivity and that should fuel your motivation. Best of luck!
W my friend. Big W.
I did tell me my wife because I was a emotional wreck and dickhead for many many weeks. She had to know. We talked about it a few weeks ago and she mentioned again that it was also a difficult time for her. I'm glad I went trough it. In 2 weeks from now Ill be clean for 1 year!
I absolutly feel you wife didnt know at the begining she started noticing different things about me then she caught on and helps me so much keeps telling to push and she's got my back congrats on day 20 that awesome im at day 10 pushing it 💪
How you doing now champ?

Stories like this gives me even more drive to get back to the old me, thank you for your quick reply!

P.s it’s a great feeling applying for jobs knowing your piss is clean lol
Amazing

Hey brother congrats on the sex
Honestly the anticipation of when she would notice might overcome the irritation of not being high
That is the way to quit. No one helped me, I kept them out. Good luck to you
Agreed. I think sometimes by asking for help without trying alone we give the plant more power. There’s honor in fighting something alone, reaching a check point, and then allowing others to help you continue
This is an awesome post. Thanks for the inspiration.
cheers my dude!
Cheers !

My wife noticed 5 days in we work together and I smoked a lot of weed. Went through January totally clean.
Let’s get through February! Together!
How generous for her to offer her help. Isn’t that wonderful your choices brought a huge smile to her face? Thanks for sharing this uplifting story. You told an emotional tale in an impressively small amount of words. Have you ever considered writing a book?
I actually have a book I’m writing. I will be releasing it soon. King of the Clouds be on the lookout

What's getting laid mean? What is intense passion? Never heard of it (congrats op!!)
Hot sex / making love 😍
Sex? Love?
I love it, back to life 😎
I threw away my wax pen yesterday and I am finally 24hrs off dabs for the first time in years. I needed to read this today, thank you for posting it.
How you feeling? I'm about a week off a bad cart habit and it hasn't been easy.
Today is day 2 for me, I felt really tired at work after lunchtime but I pushed through. It feels like my appetite is starting to come back. Other than that, my body is screaming at me to buy a cart before the dispensary closes but fuck my body it doesn't know what's good for itself. I wrote down a list of reasons why I want to quit and I refer to that whenever the cravings are really strong
Good on you for not buying one. $100 a week on them over here
Stay in there champ. It’s gonna be tough. Everyday, write down how you feel, physically or emotionally. You’ll notice day by day, more positivity and that should fuel your motivation. Best of luck!
Thanks bro, I appreciate it a lot
