re-posting from the bottom of last thread because this is giving me pause:

I am currently trying to avoid this outcome. I stopped smoking weed last spring after ten years of almost daily use, I started reading again, played less videogames.

Now I have this fixation with clearing my backlogs so that every moment can be an honest assessment of how the time should be spent, instead of reverting to something just because it's there. It's made me realize how many videogames and tv shows were just something to do instead of an actual worthwhile experience, resulting in me giving away nearly half of my physical media. I want to be more selective in the future, because if even the escapism starts giving me anxiety there's no point. I'm still struggling with anhedonia sometimes, because the weed isn't coating everything in vague comfort, but I enjoy the sobriety and clarity. I know on some level it's kicking the can down the street a bit, but I wanted to excise the numbing over-stimulation before tackling the harder stuff.

Should stop smoking soon. Books are nice. Have a fine day anons.
