Quitting Marijuana

Not a bit surprising that a few days without dope has me jacked!  How you doing?  

One foot in front of the other

Just gettin' it on, can't be afraid to tackle the good stuff.   Quitting marijuana is a one day at a time process!  If you've got some words of inspiration/wisdom you read or listen to, send it to me?  [email protected] 

It's the day before the stoner national holiday!  Had time this morning to podcast since yesterday was a big lift day, today at the gym will be yoga and back PT.   Trying to gain more self-control via meditation, did 2 hours on Sunday, 2 hours Monday, and an hour this morning.   1 session in the morning from 4am-5am, and 1 session in the evening ~8:15pm - 9:15pm.  Shoot me an email [email protected] with a story of something good or bad related to weed and how it's impacting your life and I will definitely share.  

Peter and Solomon have more wisdom and strength than I do you guys, hopefully their story and wisdom help keep you straight.  It's been a struggle for me, cracked on Friday night after getting super drunk (I drink about once every 3 months) and then Saturday burned again after not meditating that morning.  I'm headed into spring break now so I won't be dropping another episode until Monday April 18th.  

Every day is another opportunity to grow.  Jordan Peterson has said don't compare yourself to others, only to who you were yesterday.  If you've had some positive experiences from quitting (even if you've since fallen off the horse) I'd love to hear them, shoot me an email at [email protected].  

Temptation is everywhere.  

Man the whole world is wild about weed!  Family, friends....   So funny because the challenge of quitting just keeps getting harder, but I'll tell you what the benefits just keep rolling in.  I'm more articulate, higher quality sleep (dreams haven't been nightmares any more tg) and day 4 or 5 based on my own experiences as well as what you listeners have sent me are the worst in terms of attitude/being grouchy.  Thankfully it was day 3/4 this time around because today I was pretty chipper even without meditating.  Listened to Les Brown, and just honestly felt better about myself for staying true to what I believe and actually putting some work into those things.  Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you have any weed related insights to share, maybe a crazy experience you had while smoking (or trying to get high) or the first positive thing you noticed after quitting.  Hang in there, you are not alone!!! 

I'm quitting marijuana because I want great things for myself and those I love.  Temporary highs are simply a distraction and impediment.  Sober self pre-weed couldn't possibly imagine/respect the idea of smoking a plant every day that retards your natural abilities.  Mine are coming back, but with great power comes great responsibility (to self, in order to manage them).   

Quitting marijuana ain't easy but you gotta seize the momentum when it is available!  Sober Sunday, sober Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday.
