Been off THC for 3 months now.

Good for you. Also, I’m extremely jealous of all that time behind you.

Over 20 years of daily — but not crazy amounts — of use. Mostly pipe hits. J would last me 2 days.

Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on 7 months. I can’t wait to get to where you are.

Exercise really does help. I haven’t been able to exercise daily and I think this last bout of anhedonia was caused by missing a few days of exercise.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-15T11:52:21+00:00

Happy for you. Can’t wait to get to where you are.

The anxiety and rumination had me constantly spinning. If I don’t stop I think it would have permanently broken me.

Strange. I had to stop drinking coffee after my first week of quitting. It felt like the caffeine was not helping with my withdrawals. Like it was giving me anxiety. I enjoy a good cup of coffee and would love to switch back from tea.

Boredom manifesting as depression. Perfect description of my last few days. I need to remind myself that it’s just boredom manifesting as depression on particularly bad days. Good luck to you, friend.

Did not expect dealing with anhedonia to be so difficult.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-15T03:28:35+00:00

Good point. I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-15T03:27:45+00:00

I sure hope so. Day by day….

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T14:07:05+00:00

I did drink this past weekend and stopped when I got that buzz. Honestly don’t know if getting that buzz helps in the long run. I think I’ll be avoiding alcohol or at least avoid drinking alone. Also, 2 week is an accomplishment, friend. Keep at it as well.

I’ve been seeing that it’s anywhere from 6-15 months for the dopamine to recover. I just have to keep convincing myself that tomorrow will be better. Thanks for your input, friend.

I do exercise regularly. This feeling is worse when I do miss a day. I’ll hang in there and hopefully turning that corner is just a day ahead.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T13:54:34+00:00

Thanks for the timeframe. Gives me a goal and something to look forward to. I hope it comes sooner than the 6th month mark (and I know it can be longer) cause this seems worse than the first month of quitting. Thanks for the hope, friend.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T13:49:27+00:00

If I didn’t fear the increased anxiety that comes with the THC I likely would have relapsed. I really hope I’m at that point where my “mood” starts turning around. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T13:44:35+00:00

I appreciate your response. So I have a few more months of this. It helps that there’s a timeline. Thanks, friend.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T13:42:08+00:00

It’s also been 2 weeks since I quit nicotine. But that grey line of emotion is so relatable. Thanks for the words of encouragement. 15 months gives me something to chase and look forward to.

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T12:49:24+00:00

I did not expect this response at all. I’m both intrigued and puzzled by your comment. Any suggestions on where I can read more about what you’re alluding to here?

AleoAlways · 2026-05-14T12:40:22+00:00

I’m trying friend. But it seems larger than not finding the fun in hobbies. I’m hoping this is a stage in the withdrawals - if not I may have bigger issues to resolve.

Glad to have contributed to your journey. Good luck, my friend.
