Needless to say I am very proud of myself and ecstatic I got here!

For the past 11 years, since I was 20yo I have been an every day marijuana smoker more often than not. I've been into detox facilities before and have had time off it but it was only ever a few weeks before I was back on it, apart from 9 months off it in 2018. I did well in 2018 and quit cigarettes for the last 3 of those 9 months but eventually fell to both again after struggling a bit and being around friends who are every day smokers.

The past 6 months have been the best 6 months of my life though! It is very different this time compared to quitting previously as I was diagnosed with BPD 2 weeks after quitting marijuana and I've changed so much of my life since. Just the fact of getting off weed and finding suitable full time work has changed my brain chemistry astronomically! Then add regular and healthy eating, regular exercise, finding my hobbies and my happiness, and finding the right therapy, and it's safe to say I feel and AM a completely different person to who I've ever been!

If anyone reading this is struggling just know recovery IS possible! You can do it if you persist! There will be tough times and it will be a journey but you can do it! Happy to answer any questions or offer advice if anyone needs it :)
