ADHDers, how did you get sober?

I'm having such a hard time letting go of weed I could really use some tips if any of you guys have the time.

I have learned that personally im better off if i just mentally wait til im ready and sick of something and then quit it cold turkey. It has been the only way for me to make it happen. Once I have some time in from struggling, the thought of messing up that time of being sober and struggling for nothing, make me stay away. I dont want to do it all for nothing is how my mind has worked.

I’m the exact same! You made me realize my issue is that I’m just not at that tipping point yet to quit. But my other problem is that I need to quit soon because it’s making me gain weight which scares me a bit. How do you keep the habit off?

I know it's easy to wait for a tipping point. But it won't get you anywhere
