- It took me years and many failures (maybe 1000 of them for me) before I quit weed. Being hard on yourself won’t help you quit weed. It will probably make it worse- Life is tough as it is without you making it tougher on you. Quitting weed is not going to be perfect. I wasn’t able to quit the first time, either. Or the second time or the 900th time. I failed a lot- Take failure as part of the journey. If you relapse with weed, just clear your mind and move on with the day. There is no reason to torment yourself on how you weren’t able to quit weed- Just don’t be hard on yourself. It is not good for your health. You have to treat yourself well. I know this sounds corny, but you have to love yourself
