Hi all,

I’m looking to make a positive change in my life by quitting weed. I can’t find any Lemmy communities though- does anyone know if one exists?

Thanks!

      There are a lot of reasons but it just boils down to “when I’ve quit, life gets better, when I smoke, life gets worse.”

      I’ve done that entire “maybe if I solve X mental issue I can smoke again” strategy, and when I quit, that issue gets solved, and when I start up again because the issue was solved, the issue comes back.

      Some issues have been:

      I’m not comfortable with myself

      I feel isolated

      I’m bad with money

      I don’t like my job

      I feel depressed

      Maybe there’s some deep underlying issues I could try to therapy my way out of, but the obvious common denominator seems to be weed.

      It’s hard to explain it, but those are my observations.

        That are a lot of reasons to stop and not start again. I wish you all the best in reaching your goal.

        Of course, but always good to hear why people feel things. Amazing that such a simple question gets downvoted.
