Hey guys. Was a daily smoker for around 5 years, only stopped once for 2 months because of CHS 3 years back.
Recently went on a trip to Dominican Republic and I used it as leverage to quit smoking weed daily. Planned originally to take 3 weeks completely off from it and I would've started smoking socially afterwards.
Yesterday was day 11 and I relapsed but it didn't feel good at all. Weed didn't work like before and couldn't give me free dopamine: everything was still boring. It actually made me super depressed for a moment and I had to chat with Claude to clear my mind LMAO, actually amazed at how well it pulls philosophy lessons to help treat depression symptoms.
Good thing I bad tripped on my relapse. Now writing this post not having any cravings whatsoever and I feel like I kinda ascended ? Like I realized that weed doesn't truly make me feel good about what matters truly. I was highly functional while smoking (job, side hustle, GF, okay-ish social life) so I feel weird about not wanting to do it anymore, nothing has changed or improved.
Anybody relapsed and it has helped them ?
