Have anyone been addicted to weed and managed to have a healthy relationship with it?

Hi! I have been smoking weed for 12 years and for me its the most addictive substance i´ve ever tried. I had to stop completely because moderation rarely worked for me. I wonder if anyone here have had an addiction to it and managed to develop a healthy relationship with it after a period of abstinence? If so, what worked for you? I know everyone is different. Im not sure if ill ever go back to it, Im just curious.

Just replace it with DMT.

Well for me what worked was reading a book called Atomic habits by James Clear and applying his principles to break habits. 

I made a deal with my brother who also smokes a lot of weed. He would roll a joint for me, but I would have to go to his place to pick it up. Since I don’t have weed in my house and I would have to use his weed to smoke, it made me smoke less since I can’t bother going there everyday to pick it up. 

Also I never smoke in the middle of the day. I only smoked a few hours before going to bed, so I can wake up sober. 

Pro tip: don't have weed in your house, it is too easy to access and be tempted. 

Also if you can’t do moderation by yourself try getting an accountability partner, like the deal I made with my brother. If you have a partner, maybe you can ask her/he to hide the weed from you so they can control your weed use.

I was never able to moderate so I quit completely. 6 months sober from weed and its one of the best decisions I've ever made. Way more stable energy / emotions.

If you do 5-MeO even once then more than likely weed will behave similarly from that point forward. It does for me. Try that. Nothing like cosmic horror to get you put your weed down. Or maybe that'll make you want it more idk. 
I used to only do it at night, enjoy some creativity and be done.
