The No More Wasted Days Podcast

Show Notes

I quit drinking in 2019. I kept smoking weed. Now I’m one year and five months fully sober. In this episode, I’m answering your real questions about ditching weed, using cannabis as harm reduction, brain fog after quitting, and how to know when it’s time to let it go In This Episode: 🔹 Why I used weed after quitting alcohol 🔹 What changed when it became daily again 🔹 “Weed is medicine” – the nuance behind that statement 🔹 Cannabis use disorder and withdrawal symptoms 🔹 Brain fog, dopamine, and healing after THC 🔹 How harm reduction helped… and where it delayed growth 🔹 The signs it was time for me to quit 🔹 Exactly how I did it (practical tools that worked) 🔹 The identity shift from “stoner” to fully sober One of the hardest parts was not the substance. It was letting go of who I thought I was. If you’re alcohol-free but still leaning on weed, this episode is for you.
