My biggest vice and how I battle it
I've been smoking weed since I was 12, and since about 15 I have been challenging my relationship with it. All my friends have seen me go on and off T-breaks (T for tolerance) and it is always a shitty feeling when I catch myself not in control of my relationship to Mary Jane. Weed opposes my goals in proper adhd management. I realized that using this as “self medication” has not been working, and has really been a excuse to stay stagnant and complacent. This year I commit myself to making a lasting change. I commit to gaining complete control over my relationship with weed, and that starts with abstinence and replacing the habit. I have a new approach this year, on Jan 1st I challenged about 10 of my close friends who smoke to a t-break challenge. I made a group chat and dropped the rules, and so far it has been a great source of motivation and guidance. My goal is to have a community to help each other gain control, and so far it has kept me accountable for my use. Another new approach for me this year is having a replacement. Most people go for something breathwork related like meditation, but traditional meditation has always been extremely difficult for me to do consistently due to the overactive mind. So no I found my answer- THE DRONE FLUTE. Its a form of musical meditation and is actually fun and keeps my mind busy while giving me the sweet reward of amazing sounds to stimulate my mind. Another pro is that the attention it brings me is positive! Attached is my rules for the tolerance break gc i made on insta and a video i made on the first of the year playing my flute at the park.
