I have been a heavy smoker for the last 8 years. And for a very long time I'm thinking to quit and I've tried many times and have had my relapses. So getting to why i finally decided to quit, I met a few school friends a while and all of a sudden I had a nostalgia of how different I was back in school than how I am today. I was the king of the castle if you call it, I was very lively, active and social. I was friends with everyone in school, even the teachers adored me, and I was good at sports, studies and other activities. But since I started smoking pot (when a high school girlfriend left me). I gradually distanced myself from everyone and everything and everything in life started to built around smoking pot. It's been a long time since, I am in another relationship which is way serious and I want to achieve for her and myself. I have realized that I have become antisocial, paranoid and unproductive. I quit everything I used to do in school: sports, guitar, writing, reading. I left all my good habits. I graduated on time but not really looking for the job i wanted. I want to get out of all the bad stuff that I have got myself into because of my habit. My teachers, parents and girlfriend all had and still have great expectations from me (because I was one to raise them in the first place) and I have disappointed them and myself for quite some time. I want to change. I don't hate pot, I just love it, but I hate what it has done to me. This is my first day and I hope never to smoke again. I wish you great luck and thanks for reading.
