Vielen Dank, I really only shared that because I wondered if it would resonate with others here.
Another BIG thing that made me stop, at least for the foreseeable future: I was having spasms in my neck, basically on my carotid artery, every time I used. I felt like I was about to have a stroke half the time, and I also felt a little powerless to stop it.
I am really happy that you are in control of your usage. It's a scary place to be when you can't control your own life.
- herbst 5y agoI am sure it resonates with people here, this thread gathered more interest than I assumed. That spasm sounds horrifying. Glad you stopped, sounds like your body really wanted you to. Also i would not say I have good control, I am maybe just lucky of having a not very addictive personality.
- bpiche 5y agoThe very fact that you made this post and are willing to be vulnerable enough with yourself to ask these questions is a awesome. Keep examining yourself. Nobody is perfect. Just know that people will love you and support you 100% of the way if you ever decide to stop using for a while, and it is way easier than you might think.. but you can't do it alone. You are a very smart person. I wonder how smart the parallel universe version of yourself who never tokes is. They're probably a real force of nature. At least, that's what I wonder about myself sometimes. Truly, a highdea.
- herbst 5y agoI love your mental image of our parallel selfs. No worries I have all the support I could get whatever I go for! My partner is doing a break, so I thought I try too so I am sober for a few days now actually. Sure miss it, but mostly because I relax on the couch all day because the weather is really bad, otherwise it's not too hard (for me) Today I just wondered why and figured I'll get some inputs from a crowd i value.
