im new to this thread, i need help
so i struggled with a cutting addiction in the past but am over it now (last relapse was in summer 2021) but i've recently been exposed to weed and afraid of what could happen if i become too relient on it.
i'm going through a bad depressive episode right now. what do you do when you want a hit but know you can't? what should i do instead of smoking?
@zadieluna Hi! I hope you are doing well. First, I am really proud of you for overcoming your self-harm! That's amazing!
I think when it comes to smoking, it's important to try and distract yourself as you would with any urges. Anything you like to do could be a good distraction, like drawing, movies, exercise, etc. This website is really great and gives more information on how to stop smoking. They also have a chatline where you can reach out to them! The website can be found here: https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/help-and-advice/advice-you/stop-smoking-cannabis-weed/#:~:text=Use%20'delay%20and%20distract'%20if,of%20tea%20or%20tidy%20up. I hope this helps! You got this!!
