2 months clean after almost 2 decades.
Firstly I wanted to say I know cannabis & tobacco are not considered hard drugs so I hope this is ok to post here.
Today marks two months without smoking weed or tobacco for me. I started smoking cigarettes when I was 13 years old. I began smoking weed when I was 14. Soon I was smoking both every day. This carried on for almost two decades. I'm now 32 and for a number of reasons I decided it was finally time to say enough is enough and get clean this year.
I'd usually smoke between 1 to 6 joints every day depending on which day of the week it was and usually around 10 cigarettes as well. I have never really enjoyed alcohol so weed was always my go to choice. I think the fact i began smoking it at such a young age has played a big part in why it's taken me so long to quit. I really couldn't remember a time without it. Everything I did included weed. Going out with friends, going on walks or bike rides, reading books, watching movies, going out for food, Christmas, New Years, Birthdays... weed was always present. I guess I kind of felt like I wouldn't find joy in those things anymore if I quit. Which I'm happy to admit I was wrong about.
It hasn't been easy. I've had huge cravings, especially for tobacco, but I've held tough until now. I've not really spoken to anybody about this in length and probably won't in future. I'm quite a reserved guy. I just felt like posting today because it's another small personal milestone for me and I'm quietly proud of myself. Anyways, that's my little anecdote about getting clean.
