i'm going to talk about weed in a more positive light at times so i don't know if that would be bad since this group is for overcoming marijuana addiction. but idk who else to talk to.
so my parents recently snooped through my brother's phone and found out that we've both been smoking weed. (he's 16 i'm 19). my mom made all these insane assumptions that i'm a drug dealer now and that i'm selling weed to him and our younger brother. (newsflash, i'm not.) my dad dgaf but he's just afraid that i'm going to crash in my car from being high and he doesn't want to be held liable, so he's making me buy my own insurance, which is fair. (even though i never, EVER would drive high. i only smoke at home or at my friend's house and so if i'm out we just wait it out until we're not high anymore. never going to drive high.)
anyway, my mom hates me now and has been telling me all this stuff. like how i'm so stupid, how i'm going to get addicted to worse drugs now (because she's convinced that weed is a gateway drug in every single case), how i "had" the perfect life and i just threw it away for drugs. like, mom... i've literally smoked maybe 10 times. maybe. i don't feel addicted to it and i don't even like it that much to be quite honest. recently i stopped smoking alone because it freaked me out too much and made me feel like i was going to have a heart attack.
but now, everything i do i'm so worried that it seems like i'm stupid. like every time i make a mistake in front of my mom it hits me really hard because i feel like she thinks i'm just eternally unintelligent now because "weed kills brain cells". (and i know my typing and grammar and everything isn't very good right now but i'm rushing to type this, it's not because i'm stupid.)
i think it's really hard to not believe something your parents feel so strongly about, so the things she said definitely make me doubt myself all the time now. i wonder if i really did screw up my life forever or if i'm going to be "damaged" in some way from now on. i have a huge midterm coming up soon, and i want to think i'm smart enough to pass it and that i know the material and have studied. but i keep hearing my mom's voice in my head telling me what a stupid idiot i am and how i threw my life and all my potential away just from smoking.

Dick Van Dyke’s path to sobriety was a turning point in his life and career. Here’s what happened:How He Got SoberStruggles and Realization: Van Dyke began drinking as a teenager, largely to cope with shyness and social anxiety. Alcohol made him feel more comfortable in social settings, but over time, his drinking spiraled out of control. By his mid-40s, he recognized that he had an addictive...
Why not try to work on positive thoughts. Thoughts like I’m going to rock the test. I’m worth staying clean today.
Good luck and it IS a slippery slope. Stay on the right path

I share with you something I recently sent to my son for you to keep in mind:
I am deserving. I deserve all good. Not some, not a little bit, but all good. I now move past all negative, restricting thoughts. I release and let go of the limitations of my parents. I love them, and I go beyond them. I am not their negative opinions or their limiting beliefs. I am not bound by any of the fears or prejudices of the current society I live in. I no longer identify with limitations of any kind.
In my mind, I have total freedom. I now move into a new space of consciousness, where I am willing to see myself differently. I’m willing to create new thoughts about myself and about my life. My new thinking becomes new experiences.
I now know and affirm that I am at one with the power of the universe. As such, I prosper in a number of ways. The totality of possibilities lies before me. I deserve life, a good life. I deserve love, an abundance of love. I deserve good health. I deserve to live comfortably and prosper. I deserve joy and happiness. I deserve freedom to be all that I can be. I deserve more than that. I deserve all good.
The universe is more than willing to manifest my new beliefs. And I accept this abundant life with joy, pleasure, and gratitude. For I am deserving. I accept it and I know it to be true.
