I had a slip up earlier so I had to reset the clock. Hell I even got a rubber band on my arm I snap myself with to take my mind off it. Technically I'm over 24 hours but I'm counting earlier as a relapse so it's hour one. I'll try and provide updates daily with how I feel. Hopefully posting on here will give me a sense of responsibility.

It takes guts to commit to quitting anything but don't let this post and affirmation give you too many of the brain chemicals and let you slip up. Good luck comrade. I don't have the same problem but I can relate as quitting weed seems impossible

ty! I quit drinking. I got over that. The next most addictive thing I do almost daily that's easiest to quit is porn. I'm working my way up to quitting smoking as my final goal.

The smoking is tough. I quit a whole bunch of times. I've got just over a year nicotine free now. Hoping I can really make it stick this time

Nice! A year is real good time.

Thanks, comrade

I find not smoking is a lot like being on a diet, if it's not in the house it's much easier to abstain from cravings.

But, similarly to how i handle diets, how do you stop yourself from seeing all the signs for weed stores and just popping in for a sec? Like how does one build up the baseline of willpower that most people seem to have where they don't just immediately give in? I luckily never started smoking cigarettes or i guarantee I'd be smoking packs a day by now lol
