Yoooo so check this out. 30 yr old girl from Manchester. Smoking daily for years. Ups and downs but something like ten joints per day most weekends with pals but one or two normally by night during the week. Boyfriend HATES it so that helps cool it down a bit when im with him. Finding recently that work and energy has been suffering. Lost a job. Decided to move to Copenhagen with the hubby for a new life and to start a business. Decided on day one of the move - no more ganja in the weeks.
Been here three weeks (Copenhagen has an open ganja market about ten mins away from our new place). Incredibly tempting. Been there (Christiania) on two weekends since ariving and smoked about 5 Js total. Also bought a PAX 3 vape. Decided to not destroy my relationship with weed but to change my relationship with it. Now im feeling more energetic, get more done and feel more alive. Biggest change for me; the mornings - getting up is a breeze. Waking up earlier is easier.
Sleep at night in the weekdays is tough. We go to sleep together around 11pm and I lay there until about 2/3am before dozing off. Wake up in a pool of sweat sometimes. Lucid dreams.
I will continue to smoke some at the weekend though the vape and the occasional burn - the vape is a totally different high. More amazing. Then come Monday morning - no more for the week. I will keep it like this. Unless of course I have to go through this weekly hell withdrawal! I just want to be a normal person who can have a toke on the weekends (BF fine with this). So far though feels like Im doing rehab all over again every monday morning. Weekends, toke up. Monday night, cant sleep and so on.
Today is Wednesday and I feel great. Last vape chamber was Sunday night with a pizza. This week - its all work.
I will keep it like this. I will win.
Weed is great. I love weed. I will always use the plant - you just gotta tune it up and make it work for you. Lets see how I get on. Gone are the days of the everyday smoke though.
Good luck! x
Hello all!
Thought I would add my experiences here to give you a little motivation (not sure it will).
I am a professional living in London, smoked daily since University, which is about 10 years now (sh*t that is all a haze). I am up and down with quitting weed, but, I have realised it does make me moody, sleepy, stupid and just generally lazy. In addition, I smoke joints with tobacco and my chest is KILLING lately. I worry about tumours....
Anyway I have quit and started again multiple times. Every time I quit it is DIFFICULT to sleep, I barely sleep, I wake up sweating, weird dreams. BUT TRUST ME it gets better!
Just exercise in the morning, eat better. Trust me you will feel so good.
Once you have quit for a long time, A LONG TIME, then reintroduce it back into your life. My issues was I only quit for a few months and went back to smoking and it just slips right back into a daily thing...
You need to realise yourself that you are a confident person, that it does not matter you are not stoned, you are strong and will get through it.
Im gonna leave it soon....i use edibles and they are very strong...i've been doin this for around 1.5 years. I have never tried to quit it but now i think it has effected my personal life very much...some things were good some were bad....and now i think that its time to say goodbye to it...hoping for the best
