Hey guys, I wanted to share my success story because I know there is multiple people recovering from weed at this very moment and I would love to take my time to plant a seed of hope in you. It's cruel that the internet praises weed like its the holy grail, when in fact it's ruining people lives everyday. Who knows weed might actually be good but as we all know, it's definitely not for some people. I was one of them. My friends still smoke to this day and they are totally fine. I, on the other hand, am still struggling. No where near to the level I was struggling the first year I quit though. I smoked weed for 1 year in my freshmen year. At the peak of it I was smoking probably 4 times a week. I remember me getting anxiety for the first time and researching about it. I used to get occasional anxiety about tests and stuff but this was different. Way different. The guys on the internet said that you just had to enjoy the high rather than fight it and the anxiety will go away. I despise them for saying this to this day. This led me to use weed for 1 year of unpleasant highs. 2 years later, I love life. I get girls now. Each year it seems that I'm turning into a different, better person. This is crucial for people recovering. The first year recovering was the saddest year of my life though. I used to fail classes but I get all As and Bs now. The things that still nag me to this day and still probably will is the little things weed has left for me. I used to be able to not care about my sleep schedule and always be happy and full of energy. That's a no no now. I used to not get acne. I still struggle with it to this day even though it has improved drastically. My motor is not what it used to be. Life has lots of ups and downs now. I'm nowhere as consistent. I have to put in twice as much effort as I used to. The biggest thing is these mental things that tigger my anxiety where my minds tells me I can't do something or I will get anxiety. Life is on an up though. In 2 years I feel like I will be better than I used to be. Keep going on, solider.
