From High to Clear: My Story of Quitting Weed Habit and Taking My Life Back

---

"You’re not weak. You’re just wired for comfort. But you can rewire that."

🧭 When I Moved to Canada, I Didn’t Plan to Get Stuck

When I first arrived in Canada, weed was everywhere. Legal. Casual. Normal. At first, it felt harmless — even helpful. I used it to ease into a new country, a new culture, and a new chapter of life. But slowly, what started as an occasional escape turned into a daily habit I couldn’t control.

It didn’t happen overnight. It crept in while I was “figuring things out.”

The turning point begins with a single decision.

🔁 The Weed Habit That Hijacked My Drive

At first, it was relaxing. A vibe. A way to deal with stress and boredom. But over time, I noticed something was off:

• I stopped finishing things I started.

• I lost track of days, even weeks.

• My focus was trash.

• I had ideas — lots of them — but never took real action.

• I started to forget who I was trying to become.

Weed didn’t destroy my life — but it numbed it. And the worst part? I kept telling myself, “I’ll get serious tomorrow.”

💡 The Moment It Clicked

One day, after another foggy morning, I looked at my journal and realized… I hadn’t written in two years.

I had dreams of building something online. I had books I wanted to read. I had business ideas I never even started. And I was letting all of it drift — for a high that gave me nothing in return.

That was the day I decided: I’m done being stuck. I’m done getting high just to avoid life.

🔨 Quitting Wasn’t Perfect — But It Was Worth It

I wish I could say I quit cold turkey and everything got better. Nope. I had relapses. I got lazy. I doomscrolled. I made excuses.

But over time, I found what worked:

• Replacing the trigger — I used my planner to track habits instead of lighting up.

• Staying physically busy — I walked more, worked out, cleaned.

• Cutting down screen time — especially in the evening (when cravings hit hardest).

• Creating structure — simple routines that made space for clarity.

And most importantly, I built something bigger than the habit.

🚀 I Created Project Escape

This blog isn’t just a brand. It’s a mission. It’s for people who are stuck, not because they’re lazy — but because they’re lost in a loop.

Weed was just part of the loop. So was doomscrolling. So was starting and quitting ideas. Project Escape is my way of breaking that cycle — and helping you break yours.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you’re not too late to change.

You don’t need to become superhuman. You just need to take your power back — one habit, one action, one clear day at a time.

If this resonated with you, stick around. Project Escape is just getting started.

I’ll be sharing:

• Tools that helped me rebuild my focus

• Ways I’m starting to earn online
