Ep. 139: I Ditched Weed - My First Year Completely Sober

33 minutes

This week, I’m opening up about something I’ve kept close to the chest: my journey to becoming one year weed-free. 🍃🚫

For years, I celebrated living alcohol-free while still using weed as a way to “take the edge off.” At first, it felt like harm reduction. A softer landing after quitting drinking. But over time, I realized it was keeping me stuck, sneaking around, and not fully free.

In this episode, I share:

Why I decided “Cali sober” didn’t feel aligned for me.

The messy truth of quitting weed (and how it was harder than quitting alcohol).

The failed attempts, restarts, and what finally made it stick.

How community, affirmations, and mindset shifts helped me reach one year.

The identity shift that came with saying, “I’m sober! Alcohol and THC free.”

The real benefits I’ve noticed, even when it didn’t feel easy.

This is a vulnerable episode, but I know I’m not alone. Many people in alcohol-free spaces also wrestle with weed, and I hope my story gives you encouragement, clarity, and permission to keep going even if it takes multiple tries.
