I feel cringy counting the days, but it honestly motivates me to stay sober for some reason. I never would have thought I would have made it this far. I credit this community for helping me change my mindset when it comes to marijuana addiction. I honestly think I can abstain from smoking or dabbing for good, but I know it’s probably healthier to think about it one day at a time. Just wanted to shout into the ether that I made it this far because I’m pretty proud of myself.

I was smoking everyday for 16 years (besides 1 six month break 9 years ago), and towards the end I became obsessed with dabbing to the point where I was probably spending $500 per week on concentrates from dispensaries and spent $1500 on a glass piece to dab out of. It was my whole identity. I would cancel many obligations and responsibilities so that I could stay home and dab. And even if I didn’t, all I could ever think about was getting home after I was done to get high. It was like a sacred ritual for me.

My life hasn’t changed all that much besides just not needing to burden myself with ripping my lungs and throat up, and burdening my wallet as well. I guess I have a lot more time to do the things I enjoy in life also. I’m hoping that going on year 3 will be bring even more positive change into my life.

If you’re struggling and think you can’t do it, I’m here to tell you that if I could make it this far, more than likely, you can as well, because I was definitely on the more extreme end of the spectrum of addiction. Message me if any of you ever want to chat or need any help with pushing through the day. Love you all! ❤️
