Why does quitting weed feel harder than I expected?
Most people underestimate how much weed becomes part of daily routine. It links to evenings, stress, boredom, sleep, finishing work, weekends, and even mornings. When you stop, those habits still fire off for a while.

This page helps you handle it without overthinking:
Why do afternoons feel flat?
A lot of people get a dip in the afternoon, especially if weed was part of the day or part of the reward system. This usually improves as you build a new routine.
Use this page if this is your weak spot:
Is it normal to feel irritable, low, or anxious?
Yes, it can be. Mood swings usually settle as the routine settles. The key is to stop treating every bad day as a sign you are failing. It is often just a normal dip.

- Feeling normal again
- Keeping things simple long term
- Long-term change without pressure
