On vacation to another country is the best way because you’ve got a lot to do and be busy about so it will make it easier.
I quit cold turkey but I’m has been an on and off habit for me. My longest and most consumption was 2 years straight at 5g per day. When you’re desensitized you can get a lot done, my friends couldn’t believe how I was still energetic and hyperactive throughout the day. It just calmed me down and my thoughts didn’t race as much. Having it at night before sleep is the best because it made me reflect on my day. It will be in my life again some day but for now it is gone. I did go through withdrawal for about a week, I was angry and sweating getting anxious and couldn’t sleep but it’s soft compared to other drugs I’ve done daily for months on end including IV administration of various substances. It’s a mind over matter thing just suck it up and keep busy. I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for many years as well. You can cold turkey that shit too but it’s worse than weed. What I did realize with tobacco is that if you have natural unprocessed tobacco that’s a bit moist and you roll that with a cellulose filter, it definitely does not make you spit phlegm in the morning and you can quit any day without withdrawals. I use it with tea when I need to get shit done and quit it for weeks.
I know
@Novitec (who by the way said good stuff about overeating junk and estrogen that I agree with) said stuff about weed not having many effects on body functions, I have personal data about my test levels going from 8 to 15 nmol/L when I stopped my chronic use (pun intended lol) and this happened in 2 months where I still didn’t exercise but just quit eating sugars and junk food. Nothing else changed. The research is there too and it was what convinced me to stop. My natural test 3 years prior to testing low was 37 nmol/L and being above the range did not matter said the doctor I was seeing as I was scared I would go sterile. The ages of 28-31 shouldn’t have you plummet that low. You’re not going from 40-50. So I bet in two more months I’ll be in the 20s for my test production. But this time exercise will be introduced. I was going to keep my habit of consuming 5g daily and just go on trt but I decided it was time. It’s good to take time off. I feel like I was running around a track with water up to my waist and now it feels like there’s no resistance. Like that dog that’s on a leash that’s trying to run and dragging his owner behind that’s providing resistance. That’s how I felt. I have adhd and it certainly helped me so much in life but when you over do anything, it will start having negative effects. The most time I took off was 4.5 years (I was busy with learning science & engineering) and learning is very easy/fun when you’re sober. It’s also very fun when you’re high, I ain’t gonna lie. The most I’ve been on consistently daily was around 4 years. So I cannot compare myself to you but I can say that the break will do you good.
I recommend coffee and if you smoke, get yourself some of the cheaper Cuban cigars ($10-$16) ones that take 45 mins to smoke. It helped me for the first 3-4 days.
Smoking weed multiple times a day helped me quit cigarettes.
Over doing stimulants have helped me quit weed before as well because the initial 3 days was hard before. Being with women during those times help.
Sleeping aids have helped.
My extremist attitude helped. You gotta snap for real and be mad. And know what you want and tell yourself to go fuck yourself everytime you feel like giving up.
Music has helped sooooo much.
Food helped me as well but you can easily put on 10lbs in a couple of weeks if you don’t watch it.
Just staying busy all day helped the most. Because you’re seeing the difference between sober performance and highness. I mean physically. Can’t say mentally because I’ve smoked small 0.3-0.4g joints before exams, reeking like dank and have people look at me with disbelief because they know I’m gonna kill it no matter how high, drunk, or doped up on sleeping pills from the night before. I have horrible anxiety and get panic attacks before exams so weed helped sometimes. My mind sober is dangerous because I could either score 100% or as low as a 17% because words start to move and look differently and I read something completely different. I think I’m fine now, got a 90.97% recently but I get the pressure I didn’t feel in a long time. Weed made me not give a fuck and that’s what helped I think.
So in conclusion, you can achieve anything you want with or without weed. It’s a matter of how you want to go about things. I chose to take the red pill because the blue pill makes you think all the time you spent was just a dream (the matrix reference) and that’s how you feel if you smoke retarded amounts all day. No one here has high natural test levels AND is massive at 8% bodyfat AND has a job that requires physical and mental capacity AND smokes SEVERAL GRAMS of cannabis daily. I can bet my bald shiny head on that.
