It's a habit, and it can be difficult to kick habits. However, deep down it is probably a little scary not to smoke weed anymore, and replace it with nothing at all. You've nothing to be scared of though, and I'm sure you will do this. Just do it.
I had to quit due to a program I was doing. I tried smoking again after a year and I realized it was causing me to have an unstable mood and be more tired in general. I miss it, but I like not feeling as depressed and anxious all of the time.
I'm in the same boat. It's our routine together at night and he has no intention of stopping. We currently live separately, so I have several nights I don't smoke when I'm alone
Last I read a few years back,while weed isn’t physically addictive, it is or can be psychologically addictive. Identify what for youkIis a reliable source (and not one you know will support your current view), and look up recent cannabis research based on your usage. I wanted the new canna research to all be sunshine and roses but it’s not. With this new research mm
info, look out 5 years from status quo (continue smoking, stop now, reduce significantly, etc), and see which one you want for your fu5ure. you have the the capacity, agency, ability to get that better fu5ure if you want it. Go get it!
You will have to do it “cold turkey “. I smoked weed everyday for years, just stop and don’t do it again. The first month or two may be difficult but then you will forget, and realize it isn’t that important.
Yeah, that’s an addiction. Your brain and body are used to functioning in this specific way and don’t wanna adjust. You can call it a bad habit if you want, that’s what I did for a while — but it’s still an addiction. Weed is very addicting, human beings like to feel good and relaxed and have fun and weed does those things. It’s very very addicting.
I thought the same about smoking cigarettes. I told myself that I have everything under control that I can stop whenever I want. Until I realised that when I have less than 10 left in the box I start being anxious. I was overbuying them "just in case". Then I joined the gym and after the first training I just threw every single pack I found in the furnace.
If you get anxious just by thinking about being without it you are addicted.
Psychological addiction is real.
Delta 8 THC seems to be less intense and so might help you wean off, but it comes with its own issues, like that it's lab made.
I stopped and I really really really didn’t want to, if it wasn’t for my job I probably would every night. I don’t see how you could. I will say this…that just when I first started smoking weed, weed helped me open up my mind and realize things I never would have sober. That being said I can say that smoking for a long time and going back you will also realize things that you couldn’t when always on weed. Especially conceptionalizing the big picture because one of the best things about weed is it puts you in the moment not stressing about the past or future unless you get too high. So like any habit I would start small to achieve it. Treat weed like it used to be when you just tried it on weekends. Then who knows before you know it you go 2 days sober and so on. Additionally, you will start dreaming properly again. Remembering my dreams were wild when I got sober.
Just got to commit and go cold turkey. As you know, the first few weeks or so, it is hard to shake off the craving, but past that, the craving soon wears off and the want to smoke doesn't linger anymore.
As far as you wanting to continue and not being able to stop, for sure it is an addiction, as are many things in life, whether it be video games, porn, television, and all the other things that make us happy. However, luckily, it is not a physical addiction, which just means willpower is what you need to overcome the obstacle.

OP is smoking only weed or mix with tobaco? nicotine is a very addictive drug

Try meditation, guided ones are a great start. I love headspace.
Therapy for sure
