Hey guys,
This is my third real quit attempt. The others failed because overconfidence. Thought I could take the one toke and still be okay. It's been easier this time around cuz I've known what to expect and also the withdrawals don't seme to be as bad. I'm finally starting to understand a lot better and realize what an escape it was. The emotions are coming back strong, but I no longer want to hide from them. Weed has just been so bad for me. An escape from emotions, laziness, irrational negativity, lack of compassion, lack of feeling, etc. All the illusions of grandeur that made me think I gained some great insight. It was just me hiding and using it to deal with failures. I dont want to say I can beat it this time because it was overconfidence that did me in the first two times. But I know that for me personally how bad it is. I have to own up to my issues and past. Yeah a lot of it has been out of my control but if I dont face them now it's no one's fault but my own.
Good luck everyone, here's to life straight with no chaser.
