Quitting marijuana, music

[Cainite]

Do it at your pace. Less smoking is better than stopping for a window of time and then getting back on and going "eh well it was never going to work out for me anyway." Another thing I do is take just one day off here or there to clear my head and keep my tolerance at the same level. It's constant heavy daily use that really starts to steer the negative symptoms into your life. Don't feel ashamed of yourself, just take measures to improve at a rate that you can personally achieve. If you stop smoking joints and blunts, or decrease your daily intake, that's still a win. You're still bettering yourself.

You're doing great.



The one thing I still remain confused about is–you're not quitting music too, are you? Because that seems a sad thing.

That's what I'm doing.. slowly but surely. and no I'm not letting music go. even though I'm not as driven as I should be I still try to pick up the paper and edit or add to compositions. I also tried to finish one of the unfinished drawings. everyone should paint or draw. :idea:

A lot of people though, seem to just hit a point where they decide "ah weed is no longer for me" and then they quit, no problem, so it is possible to cold turkey it if your brain is oriented right.

When I became mentally ill for a while, I couldn't touch weed.
Thoughts like the people in the street having personalities of their own was very scary for me for example..
Too scary maybe. so weed would make these things worse. in the last eight or nine years that I've had a relationship with pot, those two years were the only period in which I didn't use.

how are you Cainite?
how're you travelling?

I'm good.. thank you.
Last night was hard enough though.

But you don't need to worry about me.. I'll be taking things slow as others recommended.
