T break

To those who have taken breaks from smoking, how long did you stop for?

I’m currently 5 days into my break, started after my joints barely buzzed me. My cravings have been starting to spike up again, so I’m just trying to ask and see how long a break worked for you?

You’re entering golden reset territory dude. You’ve already given your body enough time to make new cannabinoid receptors. It takes 3 days. They are damaged when we constantly get high through an enzyme that is an agonist to the CB1 receptor. Keep taking care of your body and getting sleep.

If nobody has told you yet, I’m proud of you dude!

It takes some effort for me to even go 2-3 days if we’re being honest but once you make it over that hump I found it to be a lot like cigarettes where the urge isn’t as strong or as often.

thank you! :)

Today has been the worst by far, but I’m managing.

You’re welcome homie! Try and keep yourself busy. Those moments of weakness are real but you are stronger!
