I’ve been a perpetual stoner for like 2 years now meaning that I was high literally every waking moment. I’ve tried quitting/reducing before but with little to no results

I gave all weed that I had to my gf and it’s my 7th day being sober. I guess I see some benefits, since after I became a chronic addict it started having more and more detrimental effects on me

On the other hand, dysphoria became so bad. I don’t know how any of you can do this shit sober. Unfortunately, I relapsed and cut myself breaking an also 2 year streak of no self harm. The urge to do it is insane, and I’m convinced I’d do it again today if my mom wasn’t around for easter

idk if it’s a cope but I’m wondering if it’s even worth it being sober like this. I’d smoke a blunt so much rn holy shit

    it’s hard to call some of this shit sober honestly. ask the people here who drown themselves in media distractions and internet feedback loops and the mental masturbation of the digital frontier. it’s no different from being high, really. look at me for example.

    WAIT, IT’S ANOTHER ANNA OMG

    And yeah being sober worth long term tbh, I didn’t smoke weed that much but even w cigs I can tell u that my mind is cleared up a bit, I imagine w weed it’s gonna be the same and yeah that will mean that u need to cope w pain in some other way unfortunately

      WE GROW IN NUMBERS!!! (although tbh Annie is short for Anastasia in my case)

      yeah if I manage to find a healthier coping mechanism it might be worth it. I miss doing more creative things, although idk if weed is the culprit here. at this point I think it’s worth at least trying. I need to come back to playing guitar
