3 months off Fentanyl for me. It started with weed at 10 years old and escalated slowly over my life. You are incredibly self aware and very intelligent but you can't think your way out of addiction. Go to a few different local AA or NA meetings. The way you describe your experience I can tell right away your an addict. But remember using drugs or alcohol is just our way of self medicating the underlying issues we have. Drugs are just a band aid solution and the real problems continue to get worse while other problems manifest along the way. Therapy is necessary to work through these issues along with a good support system of people looking out for your best interest and/or AA or NA

The problem with smoking a lot is it puts you in a content state. You smoke every day, look forward to just chilling and smoking. Next thing you know years fly by and you’re stuck in the same place.

Self discipline, and you will enjoy this. Helps too if you're financially in a good place.

Honestly, I'm in the same place. I haven't smoked for a week, but I've been craving it everyday. It's hard as hell, because I've also gone months without it, and life truly felt better for a while than just smoking everyday. My mentality has always been I don't want to quit because this stuff helps with my PTSD, but it doesn't help for daily functioning. When I've used it in purely that medical aspect, I found it was a good balance for me. But, that balance always turns into a dependency again. It's a constant cycle that perpetuates itself into something I don't want to become. I know I have the ability go without it through sheer willpower, but that willpower can easily diminish when my stressors come into play. Weed genuinely helps me avoid a panic attack, it allows me to keep my breath in that state, but it always comes back to bite me. You're a pretty introspective and self aware person, I don't see many people coming forward and sharing these thoughts. This video was extremely relatable, and it meant a lot to me as I have been smoking almost daily aside from a few breaks for around 5 years. I really listened to what you had to say, and applied it to my own thought process, and realized that maybe this isn't the best thing for me. I wish you the best on your journey, as I understand how difficult this is to go through, especially all the side effects like my derealization worsening, feeling irritable, cravings, the list goes on. You got this man, we can break free from the substances that we realize are damaging to our lives.
