People who aren’t addicts don’t know. It’s just impossible to know what it is and how it feels without first hand knowledge. That’s why we are together here. And yes, weed also brings its own particular stigmas, like it’s not as harmful, or not as addictive as other drugs. I know better and most people here do too. Anyway, let me give you some links to useful threads here, and finish with one where you can find many of us on a daily basis. Hugs.
Hello
There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources.
Please note: I created this thread with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman (SassyRocks), it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey.

How many days sober are you and what is your #1 tip for people if you could only give 1. I’ll go first.
I have 1,832 days sober today and my best tip is work on your sobriety every single day. If that’s spending time here, going to meetings, reading sobriety literature, listening to sobriety podcasts whatever it is do it every day.
If you hang out on Talking Sober long enough, you will undoubtedly see someone, usually one returning from a relapse, being asked, “What’s your plan (to staying sober)?”. While this question may often be rhetorical, it is an important one to answer for yourself.
I feel that sobriety has 4 distinct phases that you should plan for.
The Pre-quit phase (days/weeks leading up to quitting)
The Withdrawal Phase (Day 1 to Day 30)
The Post-Withdrawal Phase (Day 30 to Day 90)
The Sustain/Recovery Phase…
