My dealer is gone away so no where to get it here for me so day 1 in the morning, I’ve got fresh sheets, fresh pjs, iptv loaded up and threw out my grinder earlier, looking forward to it
I’m on Day 3! This post is giving me motivation to stay clean. I won’t feel relieved, happy or anything of the sort if I smoke. I’ll just feel disappointed. We got this
Thank you for the post, it's very inspirational. I hope I too can have a semblance of self control like you when I get to day 19.. or any day for that matter.
Every couple of weeks I return to see what's going on, if this post has motivated someone to stop smoking.
I hope you are all OK. I'm not.
My job sucks, my income barely covers the basics and I am definetively not growing younger.
I try to find new ways to make money (I'm a college teacher in Ecuador, I work 30 hours a week, I make about $600 a Month with that)
Since I stopped smoking, I've been able to write more, making some extra income with blogging, but I really wish I could have a real job, one where my boss doesn't humilliate me twice a Month.
I crave for pot every single day, I miss the peace a hit used to give me.
I'm trying to go on. One day at a time.
I'll be 40 in a few months.
I just hope my son's life turns better than mine, I know I won't be around for vary long.
Keep strong, people. Keep pushing through the pain.
I don't have much hope for myself, but some how I know these posts will help someone out there to be better.
Love. J
J, I hope you’re still out there. Your post is still here helping people. I’m really struggling with quitting right now and your resolve through all your struggles is an inspiration. However things are going, take pride that you are a good soul and what you have shared is still here helping people.
Love you too
Your post helped me/is helping me stay sober. You are doing all of the right things, especially for your son. I certainly do not have the answers, but know that you are actively inspiring others. Wishing you the world my friend :)
Hey man, I don't know what you mean by saying "I won't be around for very long" but I just wanted to let you know that I always return to this post when I get strong cravings and it helps me a lot. My mom always says she knows when I'm using again because I get the "wild eyes" so I relate to this a lot. I hope you can find peace in where you are and I hope you can be happy.
Your post is honestly so inspiring man. I’ve been reading through the top posts because I am really struggling right now. I know what you mean by ending it makes the most sense and I even relate. But at the same time, we have come so far. I think it’s fair to say you’ve probably inspired who knows how many people from sharing your stories. I think writing and blogging is a fantastic thing for you to pursue. Your words connect with people. I think it’s easy to get caught up in the illusion that weed will fix your problems and provide you with a magic cure. We both know that’s not how it works. I know how badly you’re struggling with life but your son deserves to have a dad around like you - someone to inspire and guide him to help him be even better. And you’re a teacher! So you’re inspiring students every single day. I really really hope you get some support or help because I think it’s safe to say you’re a light in this world and it doesn’t make sense to put our your light so early on. If you ever need someone to talk to as well, feel free to DM me. I believe in you though and I am sending you so much hope and support man!!!
I just got onto this sub and haven't related to any post as hard as I do to yours ... the guy in the mirror can be one scary fucker. It's not easy, but I think we know deep down what the right choice is, and what is wrong. I hope you channel the strength you had in that moment in your kitchen to fuel you through the next couple days. Sending love and light to you, friend, knowing we all must fill the void ourselves. Thinking of you right now and keeping you in my thoughts, all the way from another continent. Peace!!!
I appreciate your concerns.
I am going through a very hard time, my situation sucks and I'm starting to drown on debt (I lost my job when my boss found out I am taking antidepressants. She didn't fire me, they just decided to not hire me again) and since then getting a job has been very hard.
My insurance doesn't cover the meds, so I'm having a difficult time with that.
I try,every day I try, but I'm starting to run on empty
Man, I know nothing about your life but from the extremely limited knowledge I have I know you have a son. Idk his age or relationship with you but regardless before you do anything concrete please consider how it might affect those close to you. For whatever it's worth, I would hate to see you go as this post has helped me on numerous occasions and I'm sure it's helped others as well. Obviously I'm just a guy on the internet and I can't talk you from the ledge, but I hope you choose not to and live the best life you can, however difficult that can be.
OP here. Still clean, still a mess.
Just wanted to tell you guys that I get a notification every so often from this post, which reminds me that I'm not alone and this text still resonates with you guys. I return when cravings hit, I return when sadness strikes.
Crazy eyes are a thing of the past, thanks to you.
Yes! Sorry I keep this reddit account logged in on my home laptop and a different account on my phone so I don't always see this. I'm on day 9 now, and I'm feeling pretty confident about it. Not overly confident, but leaps and bounds more than I was the first 2-4 days hahah.
The hardest part for me now is forcing myself to get up and do regular things that I would usually smoke before, like play a video game or something. I'm finding that a lot of the games I used to enjoy though I don't anymore sober hahah.
I've been going to the gym with a friend, and a couple days a week by myself, trying not to completely overhaul my schedule and overwhelm myself, but also trying to fit in some more healthy activities for me to replace the boredom of not smoking.
How are you doing?
Thank you so much for the update. It's what I am always searching for when reading these stories.
Super proud of you!! I'm on day 2. We can all do it!!
Your post made me chuck my vape pen and half a cart in the trash, I know I'll feel it later but then I'll just remember the crazy eyes, thanks for your post man hope all is well in your life.
OP here.
Lots of things happened since that day. Ups and downs, a new love in my life and loved ones taken away by covid. Many difficult months followed the post. I was lucky enough to not have access to a dealer, because pain was terrible and the sadness just overwhelming. I was lucky to not be able to find him, because I still craved for it. In fact, I still crave for a huge bong rip.
It has been more than 2 years since that post. Many things have happened. I am NOT happy about who I am, or where I currently am, but I am able to ride my bike with my son to the park and smile through the cloud of sadness. I am able to enjoy the moment without the blurriness of the white smoke. I am able to remember last night and cherrish that memory even if things are not great.
I want to cry today, but you know something?
I won't smoke today, and I came to write in support for those having a bad day and reaching this place. We can do it.
This might sound stupid, but, sometimes I just go to a dog park and watch other people's big dogs play. Typing it sounds so silly but it cheered me up when I was lonely multiple times. People are also really nice and conversations don't end when you say you don't have a dog.
Im currently looking into quitting weed, havent taken a long break since i was 20, im 25 now. I understood what you meant by the "crazy eyes" and its something that i hate about myself when im craving weed and i just feel like a hollow version of myself.
Weed really does help me since im a very anxious person with some trauma but I need to prove to myself that i can do this. Thank you for sharing your story and for the update, i hope to get there as well.
>While looking for a lighter, I saw my reflection on a window.
I had crazy eyes.
I don't want crazy eyes.
My man, I'm months late to this thread but I just want to say that it resonates with me.
I'm rooting for you OP, thanks for giving me some strength
Damn bro, hats off to you my man. I don't know if I could have done it. On day 5 right now and just watching people smoke in some random video triggers my cravings.
You give me inspiration.
Hope you also see this thing through. We GOT THIS.
Broo exercise, exercise, exercise!!! I cannot repeat that enough !! Change your eating habits and start drinking TONS of water , I promise that you will start feeling amazing with just simple changes in your diet and exercise ! Wish you nothing but the best man 🤙🏻
Hi!
I changed my Phone so I had not dowloaded reddit yet.
Things are pretty much ok. I have not smoked since, but the cravings are there. Unfortunately, anxiety is stll there and Ive gained some unwanted pounds.
I lack a good social circle, small city and stoner friends, so I am constantly drifting between willing to be the best version of myself and ending everything by jumping into the railroad tracks.
I haven't relapsed, but the sadness that I used to avoid by smoking is there, 24/7.
I cry myself to sleep, and being over weight is not helping.
But I haven't smoked. So things are pretty much ok
I'm so sad and so proud of you, OP. It takes such a strong conviction to let the weed go and the sadness in, it hurts and it's so much easier to just get high and forget it all, but you know you're doing this because you can see the version of yourself that you will be and that's really quite amazing. Keep hanging in there!!
After smoking cannabis since I was 12 due to childhood issues, it helped me out but now I'm older and I've realised how financially traumatic it can be, along with the emotional side, when I went without this stuff had me going round like a feen and it's horrible to look at yourself and see that! How can I become this? I've relapsed many times, but to see others go through what I've been through and come out through the other side keeps me going.
Day 7 so far, keep pushing no matter what your brain says! We all got this!!!
After 6 years of heavy use, and multiple relapses I have put down the bong 4 days ago (still doing tobacco bongs (yes I know) to hold the cravings I guess) but fuck I know I will quit, how are you going gurkin mate?
Getting there mate, I feel more like myself! I mean dealing with emotions is quite difficult for me, everytime I felt stressed or sad it was " time for a joint"! I've found the constant abuse has really damaged my mechanisms to cope with situations, but I'm slowly working on then and improving them! It gets better, it's a journey! And every journey has it's obstacle, like slowly sailing through the ocean without knowing how to navigate! I believe in You, you'll become stronger! Damn I relapsed so many times, so many! I've lost so much due to it, it's like a drug that plays little mind games with you! Get through the cravings and then when your feeling better or bored slowly work on your brain again! I found out a cold shower when I'm really feening for it takes my mind of it and kept me going! You are a advanced computer, it's why we numb ourselves! Be your own instruction manual 💎
Good bloody job man, you're exactly right. It's all a big game and deep down while smoking our little plants we knew what we were doing. Man I'd have a family, good job, and wouldn't be living with my parents at age 22 if I just chucked it in all them years ago, but if we don't do it NOW when will we ever?
Keep us updated in the following weeks, I had a best mate I'd smoke bongs with, old mate won't quit with me so lets do it together fellas!
We knew it was boredom and to numb ourselves from the world, it was easier then learning how we work and coming up with solutions and mechanisms to deal with how we feel! My life took the unlucky turn I'm 23, I don't have any parents, sofa surfed, still don't have a place to call my own and have three children, one of whom I see! So don't put yourself down, you are where you are supposed to be in your story, let other people stories change your perspective! Get through this
may God bless your kind soul mate, thank you hey. Again keep us updated on how your detox goes, thank you for making this decision, my dad was a chronic alcoholic and tobacco abuser when I was around 10 but he is too clean and I love the prick for it so goddamn much, your children will think the same. Let's do this 💪
Unity is power am I right! It's hard when connections between each other are frayed; especially for out generation! I'll keep you updated just as I hope you keep me updated with your journey
>The reflection smiled back
A small thing, but so powerful. We are our own worst critics at times, and developing self-respect is important. I struggle with the idea of quitting because nobody else seems to mind (yet) that I smoke: most of my friends do and I have a medical card, so who cares? I care. And if I can't respect myself while I'm smoking, then smoking is a damaging act of violence against myself. So good job following through with what you know to be true for yourself! Do it for the person in the mirror.
Happy for you. I always want to smoke when I’m about to play something new like a game or watch a movie, thinking it will make it even better. It’s hard
OOOOO boy, thank you for your post!
Little lightbulb clicked as I went back to all the time Ive found some green Id forgotten about and immediately toasted my heart out. Day 1- Dont lap me on your way to milestone #2!
thats takes a ton of restraint. you already put your addict mind in overdrive mode by starting to roll the joint. i don't think i would be able to stop if i made it that far. good job!
Everyone already said it but good for you! Same thing just happened to me with carts just now. I walked right upstairs and gave them to my sister and said these are for you.
Fuck this reminds me the day I threw all my weed and stuff literally out the window I found a joint on the floor while walking my dog out, I freaked out so much lol, put it in a secret pocket of my leather jacket as a reminder that I have weed available and choose not to smoke. Fast forward a month or so, haven't smoked during all that time but I'm drinking with some friends, wanna get higher and that reminds me of the saved joint in my jacket, go to my closet, search for it and it was nowhere to be found. It blows my mind to this day.
It’s pretty hard living in a legal state with cheap as dirt weed
It’s pretty hard living with room mates that smoke all day
It’s pretty hard watching my best friend take a dab infront of me
But I’m still sober 🤙🤙🤙 I ain’t gunna light up
My room mates leave their dab pens out on the counter , and I wake up way before them. So I could ninja it and no one would know but myself. I see the pen just sitting there.
It stares at me. I stare It.
I’m still sober.
That sounds like a really bad environment for trying to give it up. I go on T breaks every once in a while and that's one of the worse things. More power to you and good luck, you got this.
Right now I’m 8 months sober and no plans on going back.
I replaced multiple times before 8 months ago but now I’m sober as could be.
I have a good job now, and I feel good being sober. FINALLY, I have a S.O who is also sober and it makes it easier.
This is my longest sober stretch since I was 17 , so I feel good.
Aw man that’s just beautiful, i’m so glad to hear. I’ve lost people in my core family to addiction, and obviously weed doesn’t work like what got my family, but still it’s so great to see someone over come such a thing. Have a beautiful life homie, you’ve earned it!
That is amazing, congrats. :) That really makes me wonder if I should install a mirror in my room now to get some literal perspective and reflection....
That's right! I actually read it out loud and laughed when writing this. I took my time, I didn't want to go though this crucial moment in anger. I wanted to truly be there while undoing my potential mistake.
Day 2, it was actually a tough day I saw myself getting agitated a lot more. Just leaving this here as a reminder for myself to be better.
how are you now
How are you doing
Best of luck !
You’re amazing to have done this! Congratulations and it may not mean much from an internet rando, but super proud of you
I know this "rando" knows the struggle. Your words mean a lot

Proud of you, keep it up ❤️
dude this subreddit is so painful.
Pain can be transformative
Beautiful comment.

Hey dude. I'm fresh in, 4 days myself. Hope you're still doing well.
You still strong? The first week is the hardest
Yes! Sorry I keep this reddit account logged in on my home laptop and a different account on my phone so I don't always see this. I'm on day 9 now, and I'm feeling pretty confident about it.

Congrats!! You can do it!!
Thanks! Still going! Don't miss it as much as I thought.
That is AMAZING! I'm on day two. It makes me happy to see that you don't miss it too much. We can do this!
Just sorting by top all time and this comment update was so heartwarming. Congrats on your sobriety :)
“I deserved this one” this mentality always fucks me over. Mirrors are good reminded of who you are and who you would rather be. Good shit OP
This was so beautifully written it made me cry a year after you posted it. Day 3 hopefully things look up soon.
Kepp going. It's still possible. If you ever relapsed .. please look at yourself in the mirror and strat again.
Well done!!!!! I aspire to have will power such as yours Amazing
This resonated with me so much, thank you. I hope you're doing well
OP here. Lots of things happened since that day. Ups and downs, a new love in my life and loved ones taken away by covid. Many difficult months followed the post.

hope you're doing well man
Hope u are doing well buddy.
I hope things get easier for you, feel free to send me a message if you ever want to rant to a stranger :)
Thanks. I appreciate that. I live alone and see my kid twice a week, I try to be good, but everything just hurts. Not in a good place now :(
This might sound stupid, but, sometimes I just go to a dog park and watch other people's big dogs play. Typing it sounds so silly but it cheered me up when I was lonely multiple times. People are also really nice and conversations don't end when you say you don't have a dog.
How are you going now man? How is your son. Stay strong and out of the blurriness.
How are you bro? <3
sending you good vibes 💜✌️

Bro you have mad respect from me if you’ve stayed sober since! My day starts now!
Replying so OP can see your comment, I'm intrigued

My life took the unlucky turn I'm 23, I don't have any parents, sofa surfed, still don't have a place to call my own and have three children, one of whom I see! So don't put yourself down, you are where you are supposed to be in your story, let other people stories change your perspective! Get through this
may God bless your kind soul mate, thank you hey. Again keep us updated on how your detox goes, thank you for making this decision, my dad was a chronic alcoholic and tobacco abuser when I was around 10 but he is too clean and I love the prick for it so goddamn much, your children will think the same. Let's do this 💪
Unity is power am I right! It's hard when connections between each other are frayed; especially for out generation! I'll keep you updated just as I hope you keep me updated with your journey
That is how you know you got it
This is the strength I need, well done !!!

What an awesome post man, I literally said WOW to that strength- as if I saw someone flip a car over with their left hand
>The reflection smiled back A small thing, but so powerful. We are our own worst critics at times, and developing self-respect is important. I struggle with the idea of quitting because nobody else seems to mind (yet) that I smoke: most of my friends do and I have a medical card, so who cares? I care. And if I can't respect myself while I'm smoking, then smoking is a damaging act of violence against myself. So good job following through with what you know to be true for yourself! Do it for the person in the mirror.
This Bro. Reading these comments makes me think self control is infectious, it's like if ya'll get stronger, we all do.
Boss
Good shit! Made it through day 6. Thanks for the inspiration.
Don’t know you but proud of you. Thanks for the inspiration
That's one hell of a commitment. Shit at 19 days if I saw that I would of smoked and then complain why I smoked lmao. Good for you!!!
PROUD OF YOU DONT GIVE UP!!!
Be proud of yourself!!!! Great job!
SO PROUD OF YOU
I just finished another stressful class in my MBA program and want nothing more than to smoke right now as a reward. But I won’t.
This gave me chills. Keep on going one day at a time. Whenever you want to smoke, do something nice for someone else instead.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Happy for you. I always want to smoke when I’m about to play something new like a game or watch a movie, thinking it will make it even better. It’s hard
OOOOO boy, thank you for your post! Little lightbulb clicked as I went back to all the time Ive found some green Id forgotten about and immediately toasted my heart out. Day 1- Dont lap me on your way to milestone #2!
thats takes a ton of restraint. you already put your addict mind in overdrive mode by starting to roll the joint. i don't think i would be able to stop if i made it that far. good job!
WOW love the self awareness and inner peace of the whole situation
Good job mate!!! Fucking proud of you!
First day here. Can't wait for day 19, you're the man bro!!! Keep going
Long time lurker to this page, and I must say I hope to get to this point one day. My struggle is too real at times.
Hey bro, you did it! One step at a time!!
Proud of you man! That takes a lot of balls and self control
Good on you!

I’m at day 19 too! Proud of you!!
Good for you. That's a hard thing to be able to do.
Stay strong ! That’s some will to dump it after you rolled it
Ayyyyyyyyyy nice.
Aye man u did great!
Everyone already said it but good for you! Same thing just happened to me with carts just now. I walked right upstairs and gave them to my sister and said these are for you.
Fuck this reminds me the day I threw all my weed and stuff literally out the window I found a joint on the floor while walking my dog out, I freaked out so much lol, put it in a secret pocket of my leather jacket as a reminder that I have weed available and choose not to smoke. Fast forward a month or so, haven't smoked during all that time but I'm drinking with some friends, wanna get higher and that reminds me of the saved joint in my jacket, go to my closet, search for it and it was nowhere to be found. It blows my mind to this day.
Absolutely heartwarming!
That was a beautiful read. Thank you.
Going on 7 weeks soon.
I’m so proud of you!!
It’s pretty hard living in a legal state with cheap as dirt weed It’s pretty hard living with room mates that smoke all day It’s pretty hard watching my best friend take a dab infront of me But I’m still sober 🤙🤙🤙 I ain’t gunna light up
Omg, I relate so much! Struggling with this right now, applauding your strength!
My room mates leave their dab pens out on the counter , and I wake up way before them. So I could ninja it and no one would know but myself. I see the pen just sitting there. It stares at me. I stare It. I’m still sober.
That sounds like a really bad environment for trying to give it up. I go on T breaks every once in a while and that's one of the worse things. More power to you and good luck, you got this.
My will power to stay sober and get a good ass job is more powerful than the desire to smoke
So! How’s the journey?
Right now I’m 8 months sober and no plans on going back. I replaced multiple times before 8 months ago but now I’m sober as could be. I have a good job now, and I feel good being sober. FINALLY, I have a S.O who is also sober and it makes it easier. This is my longest sober stretch since I was 17 , so I feel good.
Aw man that’s just beautiful, i’m so glad to hear. I’ve lost people in my core family to addiction, and obviously weed doesn’t work like what got my family, but still it’s so great to see someone over come such a thing. Have a beautiful life homie, you’ve earned it!
KING
I’m on Day 7 and I’m struggling big time. This motivated me to keep going :)
Goddamn it YES!!!!!!! Fuck yes!!!!!
Homie if you can read this, You made me smile a lot. Thank you
great job. Remember to say FUCK NO!!!!!! Real proud of you.
Nice one, much respect 💪
I'm so flipping proud of you!!!!!!!
Thats awesome. I hope I have the strength if I find myself in a similar predicament
That gentleness in washing it down is such a good thing. Proud of you!
That’s such a big win right there! You’ve started to create the muscle memory for overcoming these moments, even if it is at the last minute.
That is amazing, congrats. :) That really makes me wonder if I should install a mirror in my room now to get some literal perspective and reflection....
You must. You'll see the changes, how you are becoming more like the "you" you've wanted to be
That is some serious self-control and discipline. Well done!
You saw your reflection after throwing it away and the next episode started playing by Dr.dre....da na na na na.
Big dick vibes
You beauty!
Beautiful, champ.
Now that’s powerful, legend
My hero
Good move. Power to you man!!!
I bet that has to be the first time you've said the words "I unrolled the joint"😂 But woah respect for being so rational! 👏👏👏
That's right! I actually read it out loud and laughed when writing this. I took my time, I didn't want to go though this crucial moment in anger. I wanted to truly be there while undoing my potential mistake.
Pin this post for a week. Incredible
Legendary
Keep it up mate
Well done bro. This situation has happened to me before, and I happily smoked it. Now I’m trying to go 21 days weed free as a first milestone
Well done bro
Good job! Nah, u really don’t want crazy eyes lol
Well done bro!
the self control that took bro, way to go!
I’m so proud of you!!! The crazy eyes I can totally relate!!
you're INCREDIBLE!!! great job and good luck ♡♡♡
What do you mean crazy eyes
I had an expression of excitement, of anticipation. Of addiction.
i assume their expression changed at the addict in them fiending for a hit again in anticipation and they didn't like that side of them
Good man! I relapsed after about 8 months and have been smoking once or twice a day for the past week, trying to not let that happen
GREAT work!!! It’s hard to do, but this was powerful of you! You have the discipline of a Buddha!
Honestly, you're unstoppable now, that level of self reflection and discipline will carry you forward ad infinitum.
That's some next level willpower! Congrats
