I finally did it. I finally lasted 3 days straight without smoking weed. I’ve been trying to quit since the beginning of this month. Friends invited

Me to smoke tonight, but I was finally able to say no. My understanding is that the first three days are the hardest after that it’s easier to abstain. Every time I smoke enough to hear the voices they tell me I need to stop, that it’s not worth it.

Yes I am diagnosed as schizoaffective and am at risk by smoking. At one point a female voice in my head said we’ll leave you alone, we like you now, that was a few months ago. I think the condition was from being isolated from other people for so long that my brain just started demanding I get out into the world. 7.5 years of living with my parents sheltered from others is bound to screw you up. Humans are social creatures. Every episode I had, the voices told me I needed to meet people and talk. I’m finally listening to my brain and hoping I made the right decision to stop, for now.
I’m stopping so I can apply for a labor union. I don’t know if I’ll be accepted or not, but time will tell. This is the first time I’ve been able to quit weed with out serious withdrawals and being controlled by weed. The simple answer is not to smoke all day long. Go out have your day at work or whatever a your day is then come home and smoke 1-4 bowls.

That's how I did it. I drank more water as well and worked out too. Helped sweat out the thc still in the body. Good for you.

@PatKirby I’m walking from work every day, for now that’s my exercise. I refuse to wait an hour for the buses to pick me up.

Fantastic achievement for you.
Keep it up and after a while there will be no desire to partake.

@Gusman maybe, but I spent 7.5 years wishing I had it so it’s hard to say no, but I will smoke again

Well done. Any addiction is so hard. The physical/chemical addiction as you say is incredibly tough. The mental withdrawal, through association, takes time and is the one to keep in check. Good luck my friend. If you're here writing about it you can do it.

@Ironicman thank you, last week I just couldn’t say no, now I can. I smoked considerably less though. I guess it was a weaning off period

My brother used to be like that too. Good for you!⭐ I sure hope you get in the labor union. I hope the voices get quieter until you don't hear them anymore. 😌 Best of luck to you.

Good. Do what's best for you. I was addicted for eleven years to hard drugs. Fuck peer pressure to. Good work 👍

@Perry1968 my friends offer it but there’s no pressure to smoke, I just smoke a cigarette while they’re getting high.
