Hi all,

I’m looking to make a positive change in my life by quitting weed. I can’t find any Lemmy communities though- does anyone know if one exists?

Thanks!

    Why do you want to stop?

      There are a lot of reasons but it just boils down to “when I’ve quit, life gets better, when I smoke, life gets worse.”

      I’ve done that entire “maybe if I solve X mental issue I can smoke again” strategy, and when I quit, that issue gets solved, and when I start up again because the issue was solved, the issue comes back.

      Some issues have been:

      I’m not comfortable with myself

      I feel isolated

      I’m bad with money

      I don’t like my job

      I feel depressed

      Maybe there’s some deep underlying issues I could try to therapy my way out of, but the obvious common denominator seems to be weed.

      It’s hard to explain it, but those are my observations.

        That are a lot of reasons to stop and not start again. I wish you all the best in reaching your goal.

        Kinda a lot to pile on the herb but there not doubt can affect all these things but still.

        I think issue is deeper. Got to fix that but quiting is likely part of the fix.

        If you ain’t having good time smoking, you shouldn’t be smoking period

          Oh there is absolutely something deeper, but whatever that thing is seems to not bother me when I’m off the stuff.

          I think this is the classic joke of

          Patient: “doctor, my arm hurts when I do this”

          Doctor: “then don’t do that”

            Wrong strain can be the real issue. Some people get anxiety triggered by it.

            So something to consider if you haven’t tried islolating.

            But at the end of the day, if you ain’t having a good time fuck it. Spend your time and money on shit that provides joy!

      Fair question, but just wanting to should be enough.

        Of course, but always good to hear why people feel things. Amazing that such a simple question gets downvoted.

          Words on the Internet lack inflection, I’d say that’s most of it.
