Advice on ‘Normalized’ Consumption after T-Break

Hello all,

Love this sub! Has provided me with lots of support over the years as I’ve went back and forth on my weed consumption.

I’m on day 19 of my planned January t-break. Its had its challenges, some days harder than others, but overall holding strong. While it didn’t interfere with my work (finance professional) and like how it allowed me to unwind after a long day, I originally decided to take a break as I found my habit and tolerance creeping up over the last few months, especially during the holidays where it became a multiple times per day habit. I am a very anxious person and found while weed originally helped me to calm down and shut off my brain after a long day, it started to affect me differently where it was actually accentuating my anxieties.

I want to get back to it in February but worried about it creeping back up to daily usage like it has in the past after I have taken t-breaks. I work long hours in a stressful job and find a joint after a long day sometimes the carrot I need to reward myself for a job well done. I’d prefer to keep it as a weekend only habit but have struggled mightily with this in the past.

Looking for any advice or tips from anyone who has experienced the same challenges. Thanks for reading my soliloquy 😆
