A habit she wants to leave behind

Stacy's admission offers a glimpse into a personal struggle that she has now chosen to discuss publicly.
Rather than presenting quitting as something she has already achieved, she acknowledged that she has tried to stop but has repeatedly found herself returning to smoking.
The decision to seek advice from former smokers suggests that she is now looking for practical ways to make the change stick.

She has not publicly detailed how long she has been smoking or how frequently she currently uses marijuana.
She has also not disclosed whether she has sought professional help as part of her efforts to quit.
For now, her focus appears to be on finding people who have gone through a similar experience and learning from what worked for them.

Why December 31 matters

Stacy's choice of December 31 gives her a clear target as she attempts to leave the habit behind.
Rather than waiting for the new year to resolve, she wants to begin the year having already made the change.
Her goal is to reach January 1 without weed and start the year with what she describes as a clean slate.

The post has also opened the conversation to people who have successfully stopped smoking and can share their experiences with her.
For Stacy, the next few months will therefore be about finding an approach that allows her to stop returning to a habit she says she wants to leave behind.
The media personality's decision to speak openly about the struggle also highlights that quitting can be an ongoing process rather than a single decision.
For now, Stacy has made her intention clear: December 31 is the deadline she has set for herself to stop smoking weed and begin the new year without it.
