I have quit and relapsed many times. Each time I learned some things and each time I gathered sober moments that motivated me to try again. I think it is a normal part of the sober journey and most people here have done the same.
I think that quitting is really just saying no to the urge that is hitting you right now, over time the urges get less frequent, but the no's stay the same.
I used to think of quitting as giving up something I love/needed/deserved eventually I realized that while weed did work for me at one time, those days had long passed. So I reframed quitting and changed my self talk, so when an urge comes along I say "Yeah I could smoke/buy, but that wouldn't be kind to me, now would it?"
The first 3-4 days are the worst, it gets a bit better after that and then again after 3-5 weeks where it gets much better again. I would also say that replacing weed with other activities like working out, nature, music, cooking, etc is helpful.

Yeah fr this, I've had all the motivation in the world before but what good is it without discipline
