This isn’t really a resolution kind of a question, it’s more like a question about what you’re looking to do once certain events kick in.

As I’ve been alluding to some people I know, I will be politically mute to the best of my ability once the Inauguration of commander shithead of chief is sworn in. Every news outlet I know, will be blocked and muted. Because I know they’re going to be back to following every breath of Trump and his cronies and I’d like to never hear it again as much as possible.

From there I’m going to be living in an entirely different world, parallel to the real one. Basically saying autopilot is going to manage the real world things and I’m just going to be grasping to escapism.

Anything you have in mind?

    Gonna quit weed. Cold turkey. If I don’t have control over my consumption now, I think that’s a sign I need to stop until I do have that ability again, if ever.

      That’s cool, but cold turkey is just making it harder on yourself for little to no gain. U less you just have no self control, tapering would be better for you and your body. As others have said, CT can actually just be setting yourself up for failure.

      Or not, weed is one of the easiest to cut out so it’s not a big deal compared to benzos or opioids of course.

      COVID gave me a weed allergy that made me quit cold turkey. I haven’t had any in a few months. I do miss it, there have been many times (like the start of November) when I would’ve appreciated it, but I’m scared to trigger symptoms again.

      If nothing else, my tolerance has reset

      Why not quit now? Like, today, right here, right now. If you can’t quit now, why would it be easier in few days?

      Honestly dude, you set this artificial boundary because today’s you just wants to throw off this responsibility onto next year’s you. Don’t be a dick for yourself!
