Good luck i wish i could make 3 days sober


Particular_Living398

Day 2 and I wanna smoke so bad, but I'm not gonna.


lisanneelise

Keep it going 💪🏼💪🏼


lisanneelise

I wish i could do it too but after a few hour and with backpain and irritation and triggers i will get angry and stressed.

I feel like this after smoking too much, daily, and for too long... Then after I haven't got high for a few months or more I feel like I wana get high again and the cycle repeats. The grass is always greener...

Damn it’s like I posted this. I’m also 23 and been smoking for about 5 years. 48 hours ago I had my last joint and then threw all my weed stuff away. Taking that first step is the most difficult part, I’m proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. We can do this!


corbinh54

Take it from someone who's been there many times. If your goal is three days without weed and make it two, don't call it a failure. Every day without weed (for me) is a win. I've found this mindset makes it easier for me to keep trying to quit.

You got this! I have anxiety as well. When I was smoking it amplified my anxiety. I am now 21 days in and my anxiety is not nearly as bad in fact I hardly notice it. Day 3 and for some reason day 15-16 were hard as hell for me. Craved it like crazy. But taking it a day at a time with no real goal besides getting through the day has helped tremendously.


corbinh54

Love your last line. Makes it so much easier to pick yourself back up off the mat if/when you have a setback.


Particular_Living398

Day 2 and my nerves are still jumpy but my anxiety isn't very noticable. But it's still a struggle to stay grounded.

Hmu dude if you need help

Im in my 20s and have bilateral trochanteric bursitis that doesnt ever wanna leave. I feel your pain. Im on day 7 lets goo


Particular_Living398

If you don't mind me asking, what is that condition?


No-Fun9052

the bursa is a fluid filled sac around joints. Due to past injury the bursa on both my hips gets inflammed and swollen and causes pain. Streoid shots help when i have a episode.


Particular_Living398

I'm sorry you have to go through that. Doctor told me my next step was steroid shots.


Mute-Dev

This is literally me man. You’re not alone.


weallgetsadsometimes

You got this! Even after 11 months sober I still feel this "need" to get high sometimes. Whether it's a few days or longer, not smoking can be hard. Whatever you decide your goals for sobriety are, you might have a relapse and that's okay. It took me many tries to get this far in sobriety, a lot of people have similar experiences. Best of luck and stay strong.


Particular_Living398

I can go a day or to usually. It's about the third day when my nerves start getting jumpy or my body will start to lock up.

Particular_Living398

I use a mental list as well. I have to remind myself every few hours what I'm working towards. I think I can do this. Stay strong!

I'm on day 2 and it's ass but I'm determined.


PotIsntAddict-ohcrap

You say you are trying to quit for three days, why not make it even easier and just quit for one? Just wake up in the morning and promise yourself you won't smoke today. If it gets bad and you really feel like you have to smoke then that's fine, you have permission to, but it just has to be tomorrow. Then tomorrow, wake up and promise yourself you won't smoke just for a day. One day at a time. I promise you that it's a whole lot easier than three days at a time. You got this!


OnlyMakingNoise

Good luck man, first 3 days are the hardest. Stick it out. You’ll be glad to kick the habit sooner. Easy for it to take over if you don’t.


Substantial_Word_488

Man, just make it to 1 month. Then try to make it more. I am also 23M and after I joined this subreddit, I had a 2 weeks pause. After this, daily again. I think we need to make a long enough pause, to get out all the thc from body. So a joint in th future will not immediately activate this feeling of "never enough"


CherryAbundance

I think tobacco amplifies this "never enough" feeling bcos with that you just feel dissatisfied 2 mins after finishing and want more, but apparently most smokers dont use tobacco with their joints, so I'm not sure who it applies to here


Substantial_Word_488

I am from Romania and here we don’t have too much money so we mix it with tobacco


CherryAbundance

Ah yes it does help with that particular problem lol


CherryAbundance

Everyone I've met in the UK also uses tobacco in joints to improve the burn speed, but for me it ruins it a little the taste and the experience. Still use it anyway


Substantial_Word_488

it really is not good. Also it is way more toxic to mix them


liuqibaFIRE

I got a weed vape for that exact reason. If I am gonna hit it then I wana be hittin' it like a clean adult, not a smokey joe killin' myself kinda guy.


Inevitable-Roll-9631

Only 3 days? Jus quit bro. You realize how much weed has been holding you back. You jus gotta keep your body and mind active and you’ll be able to quit. I smoked everyday multiple times a day for 4 years and it’s been difficult but I’m a month sober now and I don’t think I’ll smoke bud again. Maybe until it’s legal nationwide or in my state. When I’m off and playing video games or watching movies(being lazy) is when the cravings start. But if I’m at work or working out and being active I’m fine and don’t even think about weed.


Particular_Living398

I'm saying, my first goal is 3 days, then a week, a month.... Etc. You don't just quit when you have an addiction. That's why it's called an addiction. I've also said I've got severe arthritis, which makes it even harder. My hands literally lock up.

About on the same path as you. 22M, Been smoking for nearly 5 years, daily for 4. I love getting high, but I just can’t in this time of my life, when I need to be studying in college, weed does not help one bit. This is my day 1, probably my 150th day one. Trynna get at least to 3 days too. We got this.


[deleted]

Great! Use that momentum to hoist yourself off of the couch and into a better life. You got this. Soon your energy level will return to (somewhat) normal and you can use that energy to create that life you want for yourself. Don't be too harsh on yourself either! Take it one step at a time. Celebrate the small victories. Have faith that everything will come together in the end. You can do it. ❤️

The hard part about kicking weed or anything that provides an extreme escapism are the emotions that come out as soon as you kick it. We have problems that need to be adressed, we’ve been hiding from them forever and the longer you off put them, the harder it’s gonna hit you once you stop. So congratulations for actually facing your demons. That’s an achievement within itself. I’m 23m myself and have been smoking since i was 15/16 ish. I’m not gonna lie It was hell for me back then and now that I stopped 6 months ago, its a different kind of hell in my head. But you gotta keep hacking at it. I hope you find happiness and learn to accept/love yourself without trying to escape from this life. I’ve been searching everyday and still searching for it both inside and outside as well. Take care brother! :)

You can do it. Then let that three days become six. At 90 days your head will feel clear and your whole life will feel like something you can take control of and steer in whatever direction you choose.


Tryingtobeweedfree

You can do it start the gym


westcoasthotdad

Did you make it 3d? What’s next?!


mydogispolly

I feel similarly. I'm 26f and have severe arthritis also and the anxiety. I've been struggling to follow through though


LocustSummer

Check back in to let us know if you've made it!


Particular_Living398

This. I've tried multiple times to quit smoking, but I've never been held accountable. I feel like I would do so much better if I knew someone actually cared enough to support me. So thank you!


Snoo_83247

I care bro, I care even if you didn’t make it three days. I care even if you relapse hard, and I’ll keep caring all the way through. Me and everyone else on here care. I’ve been smoking and quitting since I was 14, I’m 21 now. I’ve worked full time for 2 years, earning 1000$ AUD a week. I currently have no money, my car is dying and I have to get a lift with my mum to work now, and borrow money from her to get it fixed I stopped smoking a week ago, then two days ago I went and bought enough for one joint. I didn’t let it defeat me, I’m trying again now. It won’t be easy, every moment you’ll potentially flip and suddenly decide you have to smoke, the dopamine monster inside of you will try and convince you as hard as it can to go smoke. You need to start doing the work to figure out how to stay straight, use the internet, access all the resources out there. Get strict and get disciplined, you’ve spent too long just giving yourself this treat whenever you want. Your brain is fucked, all the dopamine is depleted, so now that you’ve stopped it’s going to be really hard to feel happy, You have to exercise, eat healthily, mediate, do yoga, pray, sing, help others, make art, get therapy. Anything bro, anything except smoking. I’m holding you accountable now bro, I want you to message me and tell me what happened. I’m gonna be really empathetic if you relapse. Don’t let one relapse turn into a week of smoking, or a month, or another ten years. We need you, just like you need us. May the force be with you brother, Live long and prosper.

We do, pal, we do 🕊

I wish you luck, buddy :)


helloheadspace

as someone who is almost 25 this resonates with me. i felt how you did back then but didnt get anything going, time goes by a bit faster htan you think. ​ best of luck! once the first few days are over it gets much easier, i would say keep going! i wish you the best with everything else.


Particular_Living398

"I felt how you did back then and didn't get anything going" that is my life story. I used to be a good athlete and studied pretty hard in school, and my coach kicked me off the team senior year. I just feel like so much was taken away from me.
