i am really struggling to stop vaping weed so much. any advice/encouragement?
I don’t smoke so I couldn’t be much help on such a question, best I’d suggest is that when you’re trying to cut back you aught find a healthy, productive, or enjoyably distracting to do whenever you feel the urge to vape and slowly work on making it a habit that replaces vaping
maybe gum or something with my mouth, i think i have a bit of a oral fixation lol. thanks!
I usually floss my teeth when I get an urge to stuff something in my mouth.
ooh thats a good habit!
Yeah I usually use these critters because I can bite the end and hold them in my teeth like a pipe and sorts larp around the house like I’m a crusty old revolutionary
I hate to admit it but that 2 week T break I took was so fulfilling. I learned a lot about my habits and made some adjustments now so I can have a healthier relationship with the devils lettuce. Even if it’s 5 days or 1 day, a T break can teach you a lot. Also what helped my break was knowing it wasn’t forever, so there was something to look forward to at the end of it : ).
Thanks comrade I’ll keep that in mind!
procrastinate it
lol yeah probably
I really struggle to take t breaks, since I sadly rely on it quite a lot for my day to day emotional regulation, but I’ve had great success reducing my tolerance by switching to edibles. Due to the edible high taking a couple hours to come in, it doesn’t fullfil that addictive need for instant gratification as much, which stops me from using it during anxiety flare-ups and other stressful situations. Additionally, the edible high can last for hours and feel quite intense compared to a smoking high, so I tend to become naturally more careful with my dosage to avoid being completely knocked out for half a day. Over the course of a couple of weeks my usage tends to reduce by at least half. I also keep a little graph I update every day with my usage, which motivates me to make the line trend downwards.
The biggest downside is that if you aren’t able to buy pre-made edibles, infusing butter from the flower is an hours long process that is super exhausting (at least to me as a disabled person), so I tend to slip back into smoking once my current batch runs out. Also it won’t help much with the oral fixation part of it, so you might have to find a way to deal with that part as well.
ill give it a try! At the very least it will be good for my throat, I think my friends are concerned with my coughing lol.
Oh yeah, definitely. My lungs thank me every day
