How do you deal with loss? I am sad a lot right now. I am dealing with grief on an minute by minute basis. I lost so much when I quit weed, but I know it was the right thing to do. I gained so much, but it doesn't make me happy right now. I am still dealing with how weed made me FEEL. Those feelings are romanticized and I am grieving the loss of a thing that I associated with happy times.

Everyone has a path that has taken you to the present. The present that you are in may or may not be where you want to be in life, but if you are reading this you likely are looking for a new present. Whether it is a present state of mind, a present situation or a present place you are living. Addiction can lead you down a road to destructive behavior that can often times place you in a present situation that may lead to self harm, loneliness, loss of friends and family, joblessness, homelessness or even death.
