I'm planning on taking a sober January this year, abstaining from both booze and weed. Alcohol I don't have any particular problem with; I'm a fairly infrequent drinker. But marijuana and I have a strange relationship. I've been a habitual user for the last decade plus, and have found over the last few years that smoking either makes me anxious to the point of discomfort or just doesn't really do anything.
I continually tell myself, every time the anxiety thing happens, that I should just quit the stuff. But it's a very strong habit and I often find myself lighting up for seemingly no reason. I took about a month long break a year or so ago and didn't particularly miss it.
Anyway, I've now been off it for two days, and plan to just lay off for a while.
I suspect, with some sadness, that I've just hit the point where it's not fun for me anymore. I've seen many people voice similar experiences online and have a friend who quit permanently a few years ago with a similar case (although theirs seemed much more acute than mine).
Anyway, a reset is in order, so that's what I'll attempt. Not hoping for any miracles, but I think it will be a nice change of pace if nothing else.
