I smoked my last blunt last night at 8:45 10/30/2019

This is solid advice, wish it applied in legal states too, the hardest thing for me was not cravings to smoke, but impulses to smoke when I see weed shops every 1000 feet.

Once I saw a place I would start romantisize smoking again, then I'd pull up and walk in - all in the span of 30 seconds. Then once inside I would even have thoughts like wtf am I doing I don't want to smoke, but I am way too socially awkward to walk out of a weed store without making a purchase so Id walk out with a joint and a lighter. Even if 5 minutes before I had no intention of smoking and it wasn't even on my mind.

Then I would convince myself that I had already spent $5 on it so I might as well smoke it and it would just be the last one.

Repeated that for about a month until I started feeling awkward about buying new lighters every day and was paranoid the employees knew that I was addicted and couldn't quit. Then I realised I was actually addicted and just lying to myself.

I still see weed shops every 1000 feet, but I just keep driving, because I know pulling in is effectively lighting up.
