Hey everyone,

I have been using marijuana for a long time to treat my depression but I have reached a point where I cannot function without it each day. I enjoyed the feeling initially but I have reached a point where I immediately regret smoking, after I already do so. But it is even harder to stop myself from not smoking it. I also wake up really tired in the mornings and feel that I am not productive at all. How do I get better and fix this?

Thank you for opening this discussion. Marijuana addiction is a real and serious problem. It is estimated that at least 9% of people who use marijuana will become addicted to it.

I struggled for years before I finally got some structure and support by joining an outpatient rehab Orange County program. It helped me stay accountable without having to check into a full-time facility, which was perfect for me since I had work and family stuff. They gave me tools to cope and stay consistent, and I met others going through the same thing, which made me feel less alone.
