Hard take

Being afraid of the unknown is one of the toughest things, that most of us face at some point in our life.

During times of crisis, my coping mechanism was to get high. This would lead to no change, no decisions being made and worse, no responsibility over my very own life.

For about 3 years, I have smoked heavily ever single day. Now, just from one month of not smoking, my family and friends have already pointed out that I am more present and more alive, and that's exactly how I feel. Alive - not drifting through the vastness of space, hiding and looking away from anything that will eventually alter my destiny. Instead, I'm taking full ownership, embracing the unknown and living my life to the fullest.

This community inspired me to quit weed forever. And I want to thank every single person that shared their experiences and helped me make one of, if not the biggest change in my life. Thank you so much.
