I haven't even touched a blunt since June 6th and I can honestly say I don't desire weed anymore. I used to smoke literally every day and even when I was high I would smoke for the taste and it was making me lazy. So lazy that if left unchecked it would ruin my life. When I turned 20 this year I made it a mission to better myself in every aspect before it was too late. You see, I had always been self conscious about how my life is going to turn out and for the longest time I tried to do everything right but when I started smoking in high school I had no chill and constantly made bad decisions. In fact, I wouldn't have even graduated if my teachers didn't bless me, but even that wasn't enough of a wake up call. I wasted 2 years of my life doing absolutely nothing and I have nothing to show for it due to my own inaction. When I turned 20 I decided it was time. I knew that in order to better my life I needed to change who I was around and joined Reddit for the sole purpose of self improvement. Around April I took care of everything I needed to so I could get into trade school for the summer. At the same time I slowed down my weed consumption. I swore that I wouldn't buy from anyone by myself because I obviously had no restraint. By may I was only smoking whenever I saw my father and on one morning in June I had an epiphany. I was evaluating my life and I came to the conclusion that I needed to cut two things out of my life. I had to cut out weed and by extension I had to cut off my friends. Even though they are good people and they've looked out for my when I was down they were also an unnecessary attachment and a hindrance. I'll still be there when they need me and I'd slide on anybody for them but, all things must come to an end if life is to go on. I want to thank this subreddit because each one of you has surely assisted in my journey in becoming my best self.
