I have fully quit weed now, after having smoked 1, max 2 joints per day for the last 10 years. In the final months, it did not give me the expected positive outputs: that little moment for yourself at the end of a day, fully content, chill, giving a little edge to the normal routine, eating/dancing/sex/music/sun bathing/nature/cooking was always just a little more vibey with cannabis. In the end, it only made me anxious, so there was no reason to keep doing it. Like my weed time was over. Happy to have quite finally though, it had to happen eventually.
My question is however, to other people who have quit too, how do you fill this... small but present void/gap? This little wink to/with life? It's not that I am not content now, more than happy, but I miss what weed used to be able to give me. The closest thing to a ritual that works is a nice herbal tea (as a nighttime joint substitute), or the very occasional ciggie (as hedonistic joint substitute). But I'm very curious if you recognise this urge for a substitute, and if you have suggestions?? Thank you guys!
