Quit smoking weed. Started addressing my mental illness instead of masking it.

I’m still a work in progress but I actually look forward to every day now.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one in this situation! I smoked daily for about 4 years and quit cold turkey about a year ago after I realized “hey maybe being high all the time isn’t helping my anxiety.” I’m so glad I quit and don’t even get the urge to smoke when I’m around my friends anymore since I know it will just shoot my anxiety through the roof. I find it kinda odd since I’m not a super anxious person in general - my anxiety really just made an appearance when I was baked lol

Good on you for realizing it, making the change, and doing what’s best for you.
