after 11 years, I am 24 hours free of cannabis...
I have used cannabis everyday since I have been 16 years old. I don't even want to imagine the money spent. I decided yesterday to cut it out. I am at a point in my life that I recognize the need for clarity.
Aside from daily cannabis use for 11 years, I have spent the last year smoking 4 grams of live resin every 2 weeks. Cognitive function was trash, all spare cash went towards this, my memory was fading, days/weeks/months just rushed by. I thought I liked this, because, well.... it's all I've ever really known.
I want genuine happiness, genuine stability, and genuine connection.
I am happy to have found this group. It is truly wild how many others are in the same boat.
I put a stop to my borderline alcohol dependency last year. I have seen so many positives since doing so. I hope that abstaining from cannabis can do the same for me.
It took 27 years to realize that maybe, just maybe, I DO want to remember all of this.
Anyways – thank you guys for the motivation and community.
