Hi @Anonriety123 and welcome here. You absolutely can quit. I know because we all were where you are now at some point.
What I gather from your posts is that you’re really concerned about other ppl. You put not discomforting them above your need to get sober and in between you and what you NEED to do to get there. Cos there are things you have to do, it doesn’t just fall into your lap. It needs commitment.
To a certain extent you’re hiding behind these other ppls perceived needs. But sobriety is selfish. Put yourself first, don’t use other ppl as excuses for what you can and cannot do. This is your life, your addiction, your job to take care of it. And you can. Give yourself permission.
We simply keep trying. Many people relapse. Many people start over many times until one day they don’t have to start over again. We will keep supporting you as long as you have a desire to stop and keep talking about it.
Quitting weed was harder on me than accepting I have a problem with alcohol. The withdrawals were terrible as far as anxiety and distorted thoughts. Good on you for having a desire to quit. It seems like such a mild substance but it can get its hooks in you just like anything else. Keep strong friend you got this.
Yeah bro they really suck right now but I’m managing.I’ve been on a medicine for general anxiety and it’s helping but I hope it doesnt prolong the withdrawal symptoms.
It can be difficult when surrounded by other users but the will power to say no is inside of you.
If your boss and coworkers are influencing you, maybe it’s time to find another job? This isn’t some sort of futurama episode where they install a career chip in you and that’s all you can do for the rest of your life.
If your coworkers think your some sort of drag cause you don’t want to smoke pot, fuck’em it’s not their choice to make and apparently they aren’t all that grown up if they still rely on high school peer pressure to have someone smoke that would prefer not to.
As far as your parents, would they rather have a child who went to rehab for a 2nd round, or a child who died or was arrested because of their drug use.
Thanks a lot my man.Na they never make me smoke or think any different of me it’s just when I’m presented with it it’s hard to say no so that’s all on me.I actually told my parents about not being sober ever since they thought I quit, and how I’m 4 days sober and they’re supportive of me because I admitted that I was addicted.I’m gonna go to a NA meeting with my dad as he used to have a gambling addiction and the anonymous meetings helped him.
Addiction is addiction, while his addiction might be gambling the mental obsession is the same, let him share some insight he might help you more than you believe
