    Today is day one no cannabis. Cannabis has served me well. Helps me keep my head on straight and even to avoid PMO. It makes me disinterested in PMO. I become the person I want to be and it gives me a better perspective.

    The problem is that I'm 17 and I've gotten carried away with it. I've been using daily for about 3 weeks with only a couple days where I haven't consumed any. I use small dosages of about 0.05 g in a dry herb vaporizer and before I did even less as a little microdose. I had some CBD flower which I used instead of regular bud, but I lost it so I started using regular bud more often.

    So I'm going to be taking a break and making sure I don't use any days consecutively when I start again. It's starting to take over my life and I'm waiting for time alone so I can use and thinking about it too much.

    Right now I'm on day 3 no PMO. PMO hasn't really been too much of a problem for me lately, or maybe I've just slipped into mediocrity. Only problem is I want to stop and I can't. I've used so many blocking softwares, but I always end up going on the social media site reddit. I end up looking at images and gifs. The attraction is that it's realer than other porn because it's user posted. Also it's usually girls just posting naked pictures of themselves so I don't have to see any male body parts.

    I want to stop, but I always slip up. Today I didn't relapse, but I started looking on there for a minute, before I realized I needed to stop.

    Also I've kind of started a relationship because of Coronavirus. I've seen her before, but we never really talked, and she dmed me something about the show friends. After that we started messaging and facetiming. She's so into me it's kinda crazy. If anyone can give me conversation tips or ways to keep the conversation going and started that'd be great.

    Hey man,

    Good on you for taking some time off cannabis. I think cannabis helps a lot of people, but it's good to give yourself a break so you can get your head clear for quitting porn. Also, you're 17, you need to give your brain some time to develop and experience life before you smoke yourself silly lol.

    I used to smoke but quit a long time ago because like you, I felt it was taking over my life. Recently though I've been experimenting with CBD and THC oil to relax and recover. It's cool because I can control my doses better, whereas with smoking I'd always get way too high.

    As for the dating stuff, I'd say if she's "crazy" into you, you really don't have to put that much effort into it. Keep the texting short, and to the point while being playful. You shouldn't spend more than 5 minutes thinking about what to message back, be that busy guy that's got a lot going on. A big mistake guys make is becoming "texting buddies" with girls they're trying to date. The end goal of texting is to meet in person, not to write essays back and forth to each other.

    Hope that helps.

    CBD helped me to put a focus on my problems a bit. Even tho I used it a little. Won't recommend weed/cbd anyways. Those things are not bad and if someone wants to try them - go ahead. But the thing is - you have to live your life in your own body and skin. Your mind has to be sober.
    Not saying weed makes you like drunk or something, but it's not a clean place, there's so much you focus on, then again you're zoning out and it's not that good for you if you want to accomplish things.
    I'm glad I didn't buy a bong or bag of weed. I like smoking a joint once in a while, but I'm afraid of laziness, so it's a no for me.

    Tips on convos? Well, let's just say be confident. Sounds cliche, I know, but it's the best way to express yourself - not being afraid of expressing your real self a.k.a being confident. Push her, pull her. Play around. Show emotions but don't force things. Have attitude, etiquette but remain yourself also.
    Good luck, buddy.
