beating MY weed addiction.

Old B said:

Keep going dude. you're doing amazingly well. I smoked for ten years and now I've been sober for 2 and a half years and the benefits just keep on rolling in.
Even know I find myself getting back in touch with different things more deeply, like fitness and relationships and it makes life much more rewardingly.

What I remember most of all in my days as a smoker was that the first j was the peak of my day and every one after wasn't as good; each one making me sluggish and slower chasing the same feeling.
Now sober, my good moods last longer and mean more and I've learned to deal with the inevitable low moods more productively, not just smoking them away.
Life is good, definitely better. Good luck friend.

congrats on your success on quitting weed.
I totally want to see where this is taking me and hearing from a guy who went through it - it gives me the extra push and drive, thanks!

Are you working? If not, get a job. Your time will be limited. Thats how I dealt with it. When I got a job , I had no time to even think about weed. My life was work from 9 to 5, gym after work and home. I only smoked twice at the weekends, before I was smoking all day everyday...

Glad to see you're on the right track and making so much progress! Just a reminder that even if you fall back you can start again and don't have to beat yourself over it and give up altogether. I can't tell you how many times I've started working on something and failed to make that a habit, but still saw it as a work in progress and picked it up again.

Good luck on your journey!

Thanks.
nonono, i dont want to fall back and start from day 1 again, nononono I'm doing great atm, hope that nothing bad will happen that can trigger the need of smoking.

Update.

Today im super excited I can celebrate 1 month clean from weed.

won't make a long post, but just checked in for an update.

Hey guys, been busy at my work, working for long hours, and in working days im pretty exhausted, because before I was not used to working this kind of work (industrial construction), it takes a lot from me, but gives a great return for the time I spend there + I work for my business and dream.
So, I wanted to write some things that may help others to quit weed if they are in the same position where I was 5 weeks ago.
Quitting the MJ at first may seem really hard and it is - the first 2-3 weeks are the hardest ones, if you have been a heavy smoker you will face sleepless nights, cold sweat, and even mental things as far as a nonstop fight with yourself.
What I did:
I started running like every fuking day as a punishment for myself (If you're not used to running every day might be too much), but I went all in, it was not easy, but this made me stronger as an individual and rewards are worth it. (Yes i go running after my tiring work too)
Push-ups. I lost the count how much I did them but somedays even a couple of hundreds, I don't have any particular strategy or something I just do as much as I can as many times I can.
Going to gym at least 3 days per week for 2 hours.
So basically doing sports worked for me, I know the sport is not very tempting, but when you start doing it it gets more and more like a daily routine and you will start to enjoy it.
Now when im clean for almost 5 weeks I feel very good and I don't think about smoking weed, my mind is not going that way, I have a new life with new habits and routines, never been more excited about the future.
If some of you also want to stop smoking weed, you can do it, get over the 3-week mark and you should be good. You also can PM and I will try to help you if I can.
That's it.
I won't make any new updates on this thread as Im sober and I don't have to fight with my addiction anymore and there's nothing left to say.
1 thing I would like to ask moderators if they can let me change the title of the threat and turn this in to journey thread, that would be pretty cool.

Have a great weekend everybody. Stay healthy!

Bu saf cehalettir. Esrar bir "uyuşturucu" değildir, bir ilaçtır ve tıpkı dünyadaki herhangi bir madde gibi birisi bağımlı hale gelebilir. 2 Tuğla ve Harç işletmesine sahibim ve geçen yıl üst 6 rakamı aştım ve tanıdığım çoğu insandan daha çok çalışıyorum. Esrar kullanmak, Kemoterapi ve ardından iyileşme yoluyla başardığım TEK yoldu. İfadeniz "zayıf insanlar her şeyden olumsuz sonuçlar alabilir" olmalıdır. "İyi" veya "kötü" uyuşturucu diye bir şey yoktur. Sadece uyuşturucu vardır, insanlar onları iyi ya da kötü yönde kullanmayı seçerler. Her Esrar kullanıcısında "uyuşturucu" veya "tembel" olarak bir araya gelmek, bir süredir gördüğüm en cahil şey. 97 yaşındaki büyükbabam her gün sigara içiyor ve çalışması için herhangi bir "ilaç" a güvenmesi gerekmiyor.

Bazı insanlar Esrarı kaldıramaz, bazı insanlar yiyecek veya alkolü kaldıramaz, ancak tembel olan insanlar hakkındaki genel ifadeniz tamamen yanlıştır.
