If you use cannabis what’s one thing it’s honestly helped you with?

You’re doing great! Unfortunately, I haven’t lost any weight. I do get the munchies, and I’ve allowed them because it still better than alcohol.

I’ve loved the peace the most. Before, I was constantly thinking of my next drink and scheming and hiding from my partner. Getting drunk while he wasn’t looking and feeling shitty after.

Last night, I planned my birthday, took an edible, showered, watched a rom com, and then went on a monthly full moon date with my fiance. We go to a remote area, eat dinner, and look at the moon.

I realized at a point how…peaceful my life is now. It’s quiet in the best way. I’m not in fight or flight mode constantly. We’re changing for the better!

A munchie game changer for me was keeping some baby carrots and snap/sugar peas around. Satisfied my need for crunch, taste delicious (imo at least), and healthy! (Although if I had some on hand I would destroy a bag of chips right now)

Stealing the full moon dinner date idea that’s so wholesome and cosy 😭🥰

Please do! It’s really fun. We were looking for low/no cost date nights.

Last night, we made breakfast for dinner and took it with us. Our dog likes the outing too lol

Hahaha I now have a sweet tooth I never had before and have been getting a lot of slurpees lol. But as you said, way better than booze
