hi guys, ive been on and off marijuana for around 4 years, started when i was 16, the most I’ve been clean for was a month, and that was the first year. I’ve lost friends, jobs, family members because of it. I hate how it feels, I hate that I cant control myself, that my mind depends on it. i decided to finally get clean for the next year and so far its been fine, tendencies here and there but nothing I’m not used. i guess the reason I’m here is for some advice, does it get better? is it as hard being clean for 1 year as it is for 1 month. i’d love to hear yall’s experiences!

I smoked weed all day, every day when I was your age. My drinking took off at 21, which decreased my smoking, but I still did almost every day. At 26, after 12 years of daily use, I started experiencing breathing problems. My doctor told me I was developing COPD. That’s what made me quit. I had to cut back on drinking in order to do so, and soon after I became pregnant, so that obviously made it easier to abstain. During that time, I realized how much I didn’t like being high. I wasn’t as tired all the time, I remembered alot more, and mostly, I enjoyed life again. I was alot more comfortable with myself bc I wasn’t a quiet awkward weirdo all the time. It gets better. Alot better
