Weed smoking habits
in Health ·
Hey everyone, I wanted to share my own "struggle" with marijuana just to get the conversation moving. I’ve been smoking since I was 17, and I’m 23 now. Up until I turned 18, it was strictly a weekend thing. After that, it turned into a daily habit fueled by the ego-driven belief that I could quit whenever I felt like it. Then reality hit. Around age 20 or 21, I realized I actually couldn't stop. I tried once, and I barely made it seven days. Now, it's a constant cycle: the moment I light up, I feel terrible for doing it, but if I don't, I'm dying to do it. I feel completely "weak" when I'm high, and it's starting to mess with my work and my general day-to-day life. Looking at my group of friends who have all quit, I only hear positive things—they describe it as a "waking up" process. So, I'm trying to stop. I just need some good old-fashioned support. Over and out.
