Chapter 23 - Just One Little Puff

Having "just one puff" often unravels marijuana quitters using sheer willpower. They'll make it 3-4 days clean then have a hit, thinking it will give relief. But this small relapse devastates their progress and morale.

Understand - enjoyment of being high isn't why you're quitting weed. If euphoria was the sole motivator, marijuana users would have one tiny toke per day, not want to do it as often as possible. The reason you kept smoking was feeding the dopamine-hungry monster in your brain.

Now after starving that monster for days, imagine how precious just one hit seems. Your conscious mind doesn't fully realize it, but your body gets its fix, and subtly undermines your work so far. A little voice says that despite all the reasons you quit, you still desire marijuana.

That one puff has two detrimental effects:

It keeps the addiction monster alive in your body. Worse, it keeps it alive in your MIND. One hit makes the next easier to justify. Marijuana addiction is like a mousetrap without cheese, only poison. Willpower makes you wrestle with temptation. But "How To Quit Weed The Easy Way" shows the trap holds no real cheese - just poison. You don't need to struggle with temptation when you see marijuana clearly.

Above all, remember:

It only takes one hit to spiral back downward. Avoiding "just one puff" is how you escape addiction in the first place.
