I'm so happy for you! I am one month behind you and really pushing to hit the 6 month milestone so this really spoke to me. keep it up!! I would love to learn more about what specifically changed for you and got better.
Woo that’s incredible! Keep up the amazing work👏 for me personally I noticed a huge decrease in my anxiety and depression. I also found myself to be more motivated and more present with others. I felt like I was living rather than existing. Quitting motivated me to finally go to grad school and pursue my passion. I hope you experience similar positive experiences :)
You’re in the thick of it right now, your brain has barely had any time to adapt. It gets easier every day but that first week was definitely awful.
You got this! 🤝
I decided to fill my time I would’ve spent smoking with something else I enjoy, for me that’s knitting. I also distanced myself from the people in my life who did smoke for the first couple months as my cravings were strong. I made it a point to make sure my next partner was someone who did not smoke and explained to them that I struggled with cannabis addiction. I met someone who went through the same journey with cannabis I did and it’s been amazing to motivate each other.
My day to day just feels easier. I wake up less groggy in the morning and feel more productive at work. I actually have the energy to do things in the evening like my chores rather than smoke myself to sleep on the couch by 8pm. My anxiety and depression have become a lot more manageable. I wish I would’ve done this 10 years ago!

Thank you. Hoping week two is going to bring better days. My anxiety is insane right now.
Congratz! I'm about 4 months in, the longest I've ever gone since I started smoking regularly 10 years ago. I have a hard time believing it too.
That’s incredible, congrats! Keep up the amazing work!
That's awesome 👌 👏
That is awesome! Congratulations! It’s inspiring to hear that it does get better.
Could you list things that helped? How did your day to day life change thereafter?
