Hi. I’m 22 and I’ve been smoking weed probably almost every day since I was 16. I don’t even want to think about the long term health impacts yet, but it’s clearly destroyed my life. My brain doesn’t work the same at all anymore, I struggle to have conversations and form coherent sentences, and even the smallest tasks require hours of laying in bed and mentally preparing myself to do them. As a college student, it’s impossibly hard to live this way, I’m always extra tired, always burnt out, always cutting corners in my work and procrastinating to the last minute. I’ve taken breaks to be sober before and my life is usually so much better. The days move slower, I can actually do stuff without feeling like it’s impossible to move my body, I don’t struggle with motivation, I can breathe easier, it’s amazing. The only problem is I’ve only ever been able to reach sobriety when I’m forced to (i.e. timeframes when it’s not physically possible to acquire weed). It’s extremely difficult for me to quit because I will just get weed from my friends or the store and it’s because I’ve been using it as a coping mechanism to help with my ptsd from traumatic events since as long as I had access to drugs, and before I started smoking I was extremely suicidal. I really really want to quit but every time i try I end up in a really bad place desperate for help and weed is the only thing i know that helps. I’m hoping this app can replace it. Ive been so miserable for so long and I know if I could just stay sober I would be so much happier, but I literally can’t fight the urges by myself. Maybe this app will be the difference this time. If anyone read this, please wish me luck…
