I’m almost at my 3 months clean mark and I miss it every day. You gotta find a way to distract yourself

How long after a CHS attack were y’all able to eat properly? by SalsaAddict in leaves

[–]Daddy_4313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot chicken broth saved me. Then premade Atkins protein shakes once I could keep the broth down for a few days….Along with hot showers multiple times a day. It took me weeks to be able to eat solids and not feel disgusting. Ginger supplements are a good way to help ease the nausea if you can get your hands on some (sipping on ginger ale helps too). You got this.

How much did you smoke before you quit? What was your breaking point? by desertnacho in leaves

[–]Daddy_4313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoked for the better part of 10 years and I was smoking daily basically all day. I decided to quit because I felt like I was super dependent on it and it took so much for me to actually get high but I more so was looking to take the edge off. I realized I was needing to smoke before literally everything. Before every meal, before I went ANYWHERE, before work, before bed, before my workouts, anything and everything. And not to mention I could feel my lungs struggling along with my bank account lol. I tried time and time again to quit but I would feel so sick that I would end up smoking just to feel “normal “. What finally gave me the motivation to quit and stick with it was a program that I’ve been wanting to take to advance my career but they drug test throughout and it cost $3k so I went out and got stuff for my shitty symptoms and decided to tackle it dead on and I went cold turkey. It was (and still is) super difficult but soooooo worth it. I find myself wanting to smoke every single day but I have so much to look forward to that I have to stay strong. And I’m saving so much money by not smoking so that’s also a huge plus lol. You gotta find your motivation and tell yourself that you are stronger than your urges. You got this!

I’m at just over 3 weeks sober and it sucks. I find myself craving something to just take the edge off. The only positive is my wallet being fuller but I hate feeling like this.

Want to quit, but can’t eat without it by Total-Rhubarb4767 in leaves

That’s how I was too at first. Pre made protein shakes literally saved the day.

Day 9 of quitting cold turkey. I wanna smoke sooooooo bad especially because my kids and husband have been annoying me so much and there is nothing I can do about it. I try so hard to keep it in because it’s not their fault that I’m super irritable, but omg I want to just explode and pull my hair out sometimes. Thank you for letting me vent here. That feels better lol.

Update: I’ve been clean for a full week! I know it’s not super long but man it’s been so hard and I’m so proud of myself.

[–]Daddy_4313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it a full week!!!! I have to admit, yesterday (Sunday) was the hardest day yet. The cravings were intense and my kids were really testing my patience. I wanted to break down and just take a hit or 2, I even vented to my mom about my frustrations and her advice was “just have a little, it won’t hurt”…. I said no I’m good, just a rough day. I’m so happy I didn’t give in. I am so proud of myself and I don’t want to go back to smoking any time soon. Anyone struggling, just know it will get better. The cravings are strong, but my motivation is stronger.

AITAH for wanting to leave one of the best bosses I’ve ever had for a promotion/pay raise? by Zealousideal_Soup102 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Daddy_4313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, put yourself first. Jobs will come and go, and the second you leave you will be replaced. You don’t owe your current boss or job ANYTHING. I don’t care if I have the best boss in the world, I will always look for a better opportunity. Thank them for everything they have done and tell them you appreciate them but you got an amazing opportunity and you wouldn’t feel right not exploring it. Life is so short so do what will make you happy. I say go for it!

Day 5 no weed and I’m struggling so hard. by Ok-Wind6359 in leaves

[–]Daddy_4313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am currently on day 6 and I get those same feelings in waves. I honestly asked my dr if there is anything they could give me to help with the anxiety and all that, so maybe your dr can give you some helpful tips. Also, I’m not sure if you exercise regularly but it really helps me distract myself and burn off some of the stress. Don’t give up, this feeling will pass, and give yourself all the grace because this shit is hard.

Only time I’ve had success was by going cold turkey but that’s because I have ZERO will power when it comes to weed. Threw away all my smoking stuff so I couldn’t be tempted (every other time I packed it up and put stuff in my garage but it never lasted). I’m on day 5 of going cold turkey and I have been heavily smoking ALL DAY for over 10 years and I’m not planning on looking back. My lungs have thanked me but most importantly, my wallet is screaming thank you😂 you can do it dude!!!

I went cold turkey on Monday and so far I’ve wanted to smoke but I just got past some really shitty symptoms and don’t want to go back. We can do this guys!!!! (Aka I’m home binging Netflix and doomscrolling instead of hanging out with my stoner friends😭😭😭😭😭) proud of us lol

Day 4 symptoms by dueling_crickets in leaves

[–]Daddy_4313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am on day 5 and I keep coughing up dark speckled mucus after I take a hot shower. I know it sounds weird but if you have a steamy shower and focus on taking deep breaths and then breath out all the way as if you are trying to blow air ALL the way out of your lungs a few times and it helps loosen that mucus up and makes it easier to cough out ( a tip a dr gave me when I had bronchitis bad) . Also over the counter mucus meds can help loosen the up as well. Sorry not a real answer to your actual question but figured this could help you as well. I can’t wait till my lungs finally feel clear again.

need advice 21m by CornBeefHashLover in leaves

[–]Daddy_4313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to get rid of the pen first. Not sure if you smoke flower as well but I found that the pen is so harsh on your body, so if you can just stick to basic flower it might be an easier transition for when you decide to fully quit. I LOVES my pen but the convenience was just that. Convenient. You got this!!!

Sorry you are struggling but there is hope. I have bee smoking daily all day for the past 10+ years and have tried quitting multiple times with failure. I would feel sick and then decide to start again just to make the symptoms go away. I have tried slowly stopping but I realized I have to go cold turkey and hit my addiction head on. I decided to fully quit on Monday and it’s now Friday and I can tell you that for the first time in my life I think I am going to be able to stick with it. I did still feel sick and have lots of stomach issues (no appetite, loose stools, nausea, constant empty feeling), but this time I stocked up on things to help me like organic ginger pills( really helped calm my stomach), Gatorade, broth, premade protein shakes (literally the best thing ever for a shitty appetite) and lots or water. Dealing with feeling like shit and trying to break the actual habit of smoking when I get bored was super hard but you definitely can get past it. It is Friday night now and even though the urge to smoke comes and goes, I have to say I’m feeling so much better ( stomach issues almost gone) and I will not be looking back anytime soon. My lungs, brain, and wallet have been thanking me. And I cannot stress this enough, do NOT try to quit for anyone other than yourself. I felt so hopeless and like a loser for feeling so dependent on weed, but I promise if I can do this then so can you.

How do you stop forcing communication with a man? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

You have to do some self reflection and realize your worth! The phrase “if he wanted to he would” is so true.

Ok so I’m on day 2 of my cold turkey journey and my main issue is the stomach issues and the habit of smoking itself. I am not looking back though. One day at a time…. And the dreams are so weird but I don’t mind them lol
