I made a couple posts before here and have been reading for a bit. Tried to cut back a few times and make some efforts to quit but nothing stuck; unfortunately I'm going through a breakup so that and some other stuff made me even increase my use recently. At the very least, I'm very aware of what caffeine does to me (and sugar, I think my sugar intake is pretty bad too), especially being someone with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). I'm trying to think a bit outside the box and understand what other options may be available for me to leverage - getting into meditation, weed is legal in my state so perhaps microdosing edibles as I cut back on caffeine/ sugar intake, etc. I often read here and see people's success stories and their journeys and it makes me feel both happy for them but bad about how it's still such a struggle for me. I know I will get there one day I just don't know what it looks like right now.

Thank you for reading. <3
