    This addiction is real, and incredibly difficult to kick. I lost a decade of my life convincing myself it wasn’t that bad, basically being high whenever I was conscious and not working.

    Today I’m 110 days sober and the cravings are still there, but my mental capacity has also improved dramatically.

      my mental capacity has also improved dramatically.

      Could you elaborate? I wonder because I got 92% on my trade exam that included math and things and have been smoking concentrates daily for years.

      Could i become the most smarterest insulator ever?

        Absolutely, I feel like I was still smart, inquisitive, mindful and all that… but it felt like my ability to access that information and effectively communicate it out loud wasn’t very easy. I would always forget the names of things in the middle of a sentence, I’d take longer to respond to questions at work… stuff like that.
