I quit from Oct 25th 2023 to May 20th of this year, I made it through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's, Super Bowl, St Patty's, 4/20 and Easter...so I must commend myself for all of that.
On May 20th I was a few days shy of being 7 months clean and out of nowhere I just decided to take a tiny teensy puff one afternoon and that little bitty bit shot me to the moon, within a week I was back to a normal smoking routine... although I didn't smoke as much I was still smoking when I woke up...sometimes in the afternoon and always before bed.
Three days ago I decided to just go cold turkey again because I felt like I was slipping back into the old routine and while it was a fun summer of reminiscing with an old pal, I just crave the feeling of feeling normal...the only way to achieve that is through sobriety/tolerance breaks...
Oh day one I felt like crapola, very out of body but I managed, day two (yesterday) was better but not super and today I feel somewhat normal, the sweats and boredom aren't as bad... mornings are the worst with rough bowel movements/sensation of nausea/inability to go back to sleep, I know from experience that this lasts about a week or less and then eventually the ability to dream comes back.
My goal is treat the plant responsibly, the potential for abuse is very strong for myself but I do enjoy the feeling of being clean for an extended period of time and then smoking...just that feeling of feeling how weed is actually supposed to make you feel is amazing, it's the getting used to it part that I am not fond of anymore...maybe I'm getting older and want the most out of life.
Just remember that if you're thinking about quitting then you'll need to drink more than water, you will sweat big time and it is crucial that you drink electrolytes.. Gatorade/propel/Liquid IV.. preferably sugar free, you'll gain back what you lose in sweat and your body will feel more human, this is the reason why so many people end up in the hospital when they quit weed after an extended period of time...they don't stay hydrated, you might not be able to eat much...but you must stay hydrated.

I just edited it to add on that you must drink your electrolytes when you quit, it is crucial to stay hydrated with something more than water because you'll be sweating profusely those first couple days and can last up to a week, I personally find that Gatorade zero sugar helps me feel more human, yesterday was day two for me and last night I ate sloppy joes, green beans and mac n cheese... without the Gatorade I would have felt too weak to eat and I would've been doing my body a lot of harm had I not tried to stay somewhat nourished.
