🔥 You Made the Right Choice!

Hey, I’m Arian — a 24-year-old programmer, a guy who moves fast, thinks fast, and sometimes burns out just as fast. If you’re reading this, welcome. You’ve just stumbled onto something real — no fluff, no fake motivation, just raw honesty.

This is Day 0 — the day I decided to quit weed.

For the past 4 years, weed was a part of my daily life. At first, it felt harmless. It was a way to chill after coding all day, to quiet the racing thoughts, to escape. And for a while, it felt like it worked. I told myself it made me more creative, more calm, more focused. But deep down, I knew something wasn’t right.

Slowly, I started losing my edge — the drive, the clarity, the hunger. The things I used to love doing started to feel like chores. I’d wake up tired, even when I’d slept 8 hours. I’d plan projects and never finish them. I started feeling stuck in a loop. Smoke, feel okay, crash, repeat.

Until one day… enough. I looked in the mirror and saw someone I didn’t recognize — someone who had potential, but was watching it fade. That’s why this blog exists. It’s not for likes or followers. It’s for me. And it’s for anyone out there who’s going through the same thing and needs a reminder that they’re not alone.

I’m committing to a 360-day journey — a full year of showing up for myself, writing every single day, no matter how I feel. Some days I might feel on top of the world. Some days I might want to give up. And yeah… maybe I’ll slip. Maybe I’ll smoke. But I won’t go back. That’s the promise. This time, I’m not running in circles. I’m moving forward.

💡 Why I’m Sharing This

I know I’m not the only one. There are so many of us — smart, talented, high-energy people — who end up leaning on weed to feel “normal.” But what we really need isn’t escape. It’s connection. It’s structure. It’s purpose. And it’s honesty.

That’s why I’m being brutally honest here. I’ll write about the cravings, the weird dreams, the awkward social stuff, the mood swings — all of it. I’m not here to look perfect. I’m here to be real.

If you're on the same journey — or even thinking about it — I'm genuinely glad you're here. Read along, comment, message me if you want to talk. Or just lurk and follow the story. Whatever works. Just know that quitting isn’t about being strong all the time. It’s about choosing something better — even when it’s hard.

✨ Who I Am (Beyond the Smoke)

I’m a builder. I love creating things — apps, websites, ideas. I think fast and move fast. Sometimes too fast. People say I’ve got “ADHD energy” (and they’re probably right). That’s partly why weed felt like a fix — it slowed everything down. But now I want to slow down on my own terms. Not because I’m numb, but because I’m aware. Present. Alive.

This blog isn’t just about quitting. It’s about rediscovering who I am when I’m not fogged up. It’s about finding fun again, having real joy, laughing with friends without needing a cloud around me. It’s about becoming the clearest, most honest version of myself.

🚀 What to Expect

You don’t need to quit for 360 days. Or even 30. Just start with today. That’s what I’m doing. I don’t have it all figured out. But I know I want more from life — and this is how I’m choosing to get it.

If this speaks to you, I hope you stick around. Let’s grow together.

Thanks for reading. Day 1 starts tomorrow. Let’s make this year count. 💪
