I haven't smoked marijuana in almost a week but it's only because the unemployment department fucked over 1.4 million California's by suspending their accounts because they hadn't verified their identities. I only have $600 in my account which is basically nothing to me.I don't know when does fucking bastards are going to give me my money but I can't buy marijuana until my unemployment benefits go back to normal. I would love to quit smoking weed if only to save money. To think, all the money I would have if I never spent it on weed. But at the same time I know I definitely would have killed myself by now if it wasn't for marijuana. It keeps me level-headed and keeps me sane. it slows my brain down enough that I can actually think rationally when I am stressed out.It doesn't really affect me like it does most other people. I mean it's been almost a week now so it's not like I'm addicted or anything but at the same time it's very helpful for my mental health. I fell into a depression this week because I just fucking hate the way the planet runs. Some marijuana would be really nice right now.

I quit cold turkey 3 days ago. Honestly, I didn't even want to at the time. I stopped for a drug test and then told myself it would be great for a tolerance reset. But only 3 days in, I already enjoy being removed from it. I had the same compulsive behaviors as others have mentioned. I would buy anywhere from an ounce of flower to a QP of flower at a time. All personal. Then smoke it until completely gone. I didn't want to do any of my favorite things without being high. Many times I would get high and then not even do the things I enjoy. So I want to keep exploring this weedless world for a while. Drug test is in 30 days and I honestly have zero confidence in passing it. It's DOT and observed, so I'm a little more limited on options. But still, I'm going to do the full 30+ days and see where I am.

If I set up a burner/text only number, would anyone be interested in checking in on this and holding me accountable?

Keep it up dude, your life will be more enjoyable without weed. More than anything else you will suffer less when you are older with fewer healthy issues and you will have more vitality and energy.

For sure. And thank you. I'm not too worried about the abstinence part at this point. I'm sleeping and eating again without trouble. I can handle the urges to get high just by being a stubborn prick.

I'm mostly worried about pissing clean at this point. I desperately want to be able to use my own piss. I will have 33-35 days clean by the time I have to take it. I'm doing keto, cardio and I'm drinking a lot of water. I'll probably join a gym. I want to train BJJ, but that's kinda restricted right now.

Cardio is good and jogging is probably the best as you don't need any membership or equipment. Just a pair of shoes. And it is very effective in increasing your metabolism so any THC that is embedded in your fat tissue will be released and flushed away through sweat and urine. I reckon you'll be ok with the drug test.

I myself stopped using weed in early January at my therapist's recommendation. I only used it every few weeks after last October and would mark down the days on my calendar so I'd be able to keep track of how long it'd be until I could next get high by my own rules. I quit altogether to fully commit myself to strict sobriety and mindfulness and have been meditating again in that time. Like you, I was struggling to kick the habit of getting high at first more than the desire to be high, if you know what I mean; I'd grown too accustomed to getting high before my favorite activities, like writing and playing music or watching movies or reading or walking through nature. The good thing is that staying sober gets easier the longer I do it and even the occasions where I feel a strong urge to get high don't last very long. At most, they last a little over an hour. These urges usually come up during deja vu to the types of scenarios where I'd get high, like cozy days in the winter where I stay indoors. I've easily persisted every time by reminding myself that I don't want to give up my sobriety streak just to be high for a few hours ("If I give up now, then in a few hours I won't be high but a day from now, I'll still be someone who gave up").

A little tip: Don't focus on the possibility of getting high at all when you can help it. Don't think about if or when you might get high next and don't even entertain the idea of getting high. When the thought comes up, just ignore it or at least don't take it seriously and do something else. You got this!

13 days in. I'm not having any issues with quitting cold turkey. I just took an at home test, and I'm still VERY dirty at 15, 50, 100, 200 and 300 nanograms. Bummer.

What sorts of exercise are you doing? With cardio you should be going for an hour or more each session.

I work construction anywhere from 10-12 hours. It's physically taxing, but probably not as much cardio as I need. I'm going to have to get on that a little more.

Drink lots of water too. Your body needs it to flush that crap out. Also, eat a fatty meal at least a couple of hours before you have to take the “official” piss test. It will absorb more metabolites that would otherwise make it into your pee.

Used to be an everyday smoker/vaper for years, and would usually take a break for sober-October.

I had some traumatic shit happen with a former childhood friend back in Jan 2020 while I was on a thc break. When I returned to thc after the break, as quickly as you can snap your fingers, I had a panic attack, where I started to question things about myself, and it was debilitating. Over the rest of the year, I would still vape/smoke here and there, and during quarantine, I was more into edibles, but I couldn't take the anxiety anymore. I went July to early Nov without thc which really helped. Moved states in Nov and took a couple of hits off a joint, which sent my anxiety back up, and I felt like I couldn't shake it for like a month. I think it's because I still have the association with that panic attack, my friends shit, and thc.

I do miss weed on occasion and have cravings here and there. One good thing that has come from the panic attack, is that I have really been focusing on my mental health. I believe that I have a mild case of OCD (undiagnosed), which is why I couldn't shake some of the thoughts/questions I had for the better part of a year, but have been practicing mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive based therapies to ease some of my suffering. I'm currently growing some GT for the first time right now, and am looking forward to using the medicine, along with the above mental practices, to help further heal.

Hope everyone is doing well. It's a beautiful day today.

Today is day 30 and I feel pretty good about it for the most part. My dreams are still pretty weird and vivid, but not violent or terrifying. The first couple weeks were really bad in that regard. I have already decided this will not be a permanent thing for me. But I also know I can't go back to the all day every day pothead routine. Especially with my new job. Too many potential consequences. Nights and weekends only.

According to the home tests I've been taking I'm still very dirty all the way up to the 300 nanogram level. Makes me wonder just how much I had built up in my system. My tolerance was through the roof. I'm not very large to begin with and I have very little body fat.

Just burned my last for the foreseeable future. My lungs hurt so bad, I just can't take it anymore. I'm ready for some kind of change.

Today is day one. I woke up around 6am tripping because I wanted to smoke a blunt. Around 8 or 9 I fealt better. Still iffy though. Really worried how I'm going to sleep and how work is going to go. I work nightshift.

I smoked 2oz of high grade reefer a month. I moved down to 1oz a month. Now I've been buying half and quarters but I've been flying through it. It's time to make a stand.

I've quit everything else. I'm prescribed a SSRI and a benzo. I also take vitamins. Drink water and juice. My eating habits suck.

I'm doing this because I dont ever get anything done because I'm so tired and I waste alot of time smoking blunts. Plus the money and better job opportunities.

Stopped smoking a few years ago due to work. Needless to say stopping was the best move for me, I used to be addicted to weed. I still do get ghost cravings every now and then during the hours I used to smoke in my earlier years. To whoever needs some advice to quit, try finding something to do during your time of cravings to help take your mind off of smoking.

It took 50 days to get below the cutoff point. I tested negative for everything. It was a nice little tolerance reset, but I found that I prefer getting high. :shrug:

I usually intermittently quit every year for 1-3 months, just for cleaning and gearing for next smoke sessions.
I guess im here to say that I need to level up in life and weed isn't helping. Feels like ive been stagnant for quite some time. I really want my financial life and social life to improve. I need to undo what years of cannabis has done. Ive always belittled myself when comparing myself with past friends, they have a family life, social life, stable career. 
Sick of this self-denigration. Cannabis contributed to my shit way of viewing myself. psychedelics have taught me lessons and insights but never followed through completely on them, quit the forward motion just when things get better then i fall back into old patterns.
Anyway, Im amping up for a final disconnect from cannabis smoke. I will update this thread down the road.
