Kicking Addiction to the Curb

Daily writing prompt
What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?

One of the biggest promises that I have kept not just to myself, but to God is that I would no longer smoke or ingest weed products.

I am not going to lie, I was struggling with addiction to the stuff for many years. It was getting to the point where I would have anxiety if I did not know if we were going to be able to afford another couple of grams, or if our supplier was running behind schedule.

I had not experienced an addiction to that extent before so for the longest time, I was gaslighting myself. Of course its not an addiction! Everyone says you cannot get addicted to weed!

It was just a whole toxic mess for me. I had to reach that point where I was just in a constant state of having anxiety even when I was high. I began praying profusely to have the strength and motivation to kick it to the curb and eventually I did. I am over a year clean on the vapes and over half a year clean on all things CBD.

The cravings have lessened much more than I thought they would. I think I take extra motivation since I see people everyday who cannot leave the house without their vapes and are sneaking in puffs like clockwork. I am glad I am not like that for sure. It just makes me sad that people feel the need to be shackled to something like that.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
