1 day, 10 hours, 47 minutes

I didn’t realize how heavily I was using weed, until I stopped.

It’s been 1 day, 10 hours and 47 minutes. My body feels awful, but my mind is a bit clearer most of the time. In terms of withdrawal symptoms, it’s not great, but I’m doing it.

A lot of different factors went into my decision to do this.

First of all, I recognize that I have an extremely addictive personality – I can honestly get addicted to pretty much anything. Because of this, I usually stay away from addictive things. But weed isn’t addictive, right?

Wrong.

I’ve also noticed more behaviours of mine lately that tend to speak to overuse, and it’s starting to impact things in my life that it didn’t before. At first, I only used in the evenings to help me get to sleep. Then in the middle of the night to help me get back to sleep. And suddenly vaping was something that I did pretty well all day, every day.

Also, vaping isn’t exactly healthy, and my lungs will thank me for the reprieve after 7 years.

I had more to say, but I also kind of feel like I’m going to be sick, so I think I’ll go deal with that now.
