I want to thank you for sharing this story. I've struggled with my own THC addiction, using it as a crutch for trauma and anxiety, but your comment helped me realize that, like your roommate, the addiction has wrecked my ability to (responsibly and maturely) process negative situations. Enduring those situations is one thing, but seeing how they're connected to other parts of a more complete life is different.

Sometimes it helps to see it described by someone else before you really see what you, yourself are in.

Thanks again for helping a stranger connect some dots. You've given me more to think about in my approach to kick this habit.
