I’m totally a weed addict and I wonder what kind of person I would be if I wasn’t. I keep thinking someday it will click and I won’t rely on it anymore to make me happy. I just don’t know when I’ll be ready to quit. Being ready and willing is the number one step when you want to distance yourself from a substance.

Alcohol’s not really a problem for me but it bothers me how alcohol is involved with every single friend hang outside of my one sober friend. Every single one. I know so many casual alcoholics, it’s wild.

Reminds me of guy who realized he was addicted to weed. He pretty much said the same exact thing as you.

He was like there’s a problem when I think and spend most of the day baked. He wonders how much of time he’s wasted and what he could doing instead.

I get his sentiment. I try hard not to see it as wasted time but as a way of coping, which isn’t healthy either, but no use in spending your life thinking you wasted it imo!

i was about to make the same kind of comment lol im definitely addicted to weed and it only really shows when i dont have any. i will constantly think about it and that desire of ~needing it is real annoying. im lucky that weed doesnt make me lazy or less productive, actually it makes me more motivated lol like alright lets get this done! but then that dependency grows.. i use it for my severe anxiety as it keeps me concentrated on something rather than having my thoughts going a million miles an hour etc. like you said about being willing, and im just not, sorry to my brain

like imo while ik im addicted i also know im addicted to caffeine so ill pick/choose my battles. the only real downside i feel is spending $$ on weed smdh

It's hard to quit anything. At least you want to. I've seen a lot of friends back home just... Stop developing. Everything seemed to just be filler between sessions.

i would def say i had a weed addiction back in college. i smoked at least a quarter a day but i had to quit cold turkey for a federal job and didn't smoke at all for 3 years. now i smoke a bowl or two in the evenings, i don't need it but it helps calm my anxiety. maybe try slowly reducing your intake until you get to the point where you can take a day off, then two days off, etc.
