I only seem to feel like my best self when I’m high on thc as I quit alcohol for the time being. I just feel as happy as a kid when I’m high. I feel very bland when I’m sober. I just can’t see being completely sober from weed too.

I think the most helpful advice I can give you is, paradoxically enough, to cherish those highs, and the only way you truly appreciate them is by moderating yourself and experiencing life without the drug.
