Sup, i’m a 23 year old and decided to stop my addiction on weed. it started when i was in college i was a freshman and i got this friend of mine that told me, if i wanted to try out sumthing, i should tell him. So, i told him wanna try weed and the rest was history lol. so yeah, i got addicted to the feeling , that even tho i got no more money for myself, i still chose to buy and get some green. FF, Recently i realized that i was hurting myself, that weed wasn’t the problem, it was me. i became dependent on it, from the moment i wake up, till i go to bed. i was like an all day everyday type of person. like every move i make, i should smoke weed because i believed that “it’s better to do it while high”. but then i start to realize that it was slowly consuming me, like i thought it would make everything “better” but turned out to be worse than i thought. i was in pain during those days and i wasn’t aware. i was slowly ripping myself apart…
Now, i realized that my future was on the line. my future is bright, i got a lot of opportunties since my family has given me that. if continued my antics , i might end up being a junky or idk man. sometimes i can think straight or even notice if what i’m seeing infront of me is real. i also hid myself from my friends, now i feel that i don’t got any friends. can’t believe that i felt that since i was so friendly when i was in college.

I just wanna get on with my life and be who i want to be, a doctor. i know its a long shot but , we all gotta start from 0 :slight_smile:

PS. English is not my first Language :rofl: i’m still working on it.

Seems like you know exactly what you’re aiming at. You’re young, and have your entire life ahead! Go for your dreams and don’t f€&@ things up! Have you quit already, or are you still working on that? Do you have some kind of support? My DOC is alcohol, so I’m not really of any help when it comes to quitting weed. But you can check for more info by searching through the magnifying glass! :mag:
