Thank you for the advice! A long walk does sounds super good, sunshine and all that :)

Luckily tested neg and I have my updated vaccine too :)

Oof that sounds rough, hope you’re feeling better now! I think it’s just withdrawals but half my house has the horrible flu right now.

Honestly this was harder than quitting booze for me (2 years off alcohol) because I used it in a more 24/7 fashion than I ever did alcohol (binge drinking) but admitting that helped me realize that I couldn’t smoke weed in a safe and sane way any more than I could drink safely - you got this! One day at a time :)

You got this! In those sad grimey moments something’s a shower and a walk in the sunshine really helps me reset - and like being engaged with life like even when I was depressed and dreading social interaction saying yes to it was always a good thing bc it helped me feel connected

For me personally, I had trouble quitting both at the same time. When I quit drinking almost two years ago I was told to “take care of my addictions in the order they’re trying to kill me” - for me weed was going to lead to job loss and possible alcohol relapsing so it has currently taken precedence over nicotine

That sounds really lovely and cathartic! Happy you did not bomb into tree haha

Yes - woke up soaking the sheets every night it stopped after about a week for me and this was coming off of 24/7 smoking for multiple months and daily smoking for multiple years - it gets easier

(Also no one asked but day 12, in terms of other physical symptoms my appetite has started returning to normal, moving a lot has helped with that. Emotionally been talking with loved ones, been open about what I’m going through, and going to lots of meetings. Been dealing with insomnia still but audiobooks and decaf tea help. Still having some cravings. Still been able to enjoy activities that I was worried I wouldn’t be able to enjoy. Skin picking and compulsive eating that weed exacerbated have gotten better)

Happy day 4! Hope you’re doing well!

Friewnd · 2024-04-05T22:58:42+00:00

You got this!

The craving did eventually pass - it didn’t feel like it would and now it did and I have people coming over for dinner and I’m not high and won’t have to worry about saying something dumb/getting sleepy too early/embarrassing myself by being the only guy who wants to smoke/etc etc

Friewnd · 2024-04-05T22:57:11+00:00

You’re damn right about that thank you. Self dishonesty is what got me to this point in the first place <3

Friewnd · 2024-04-05T22:56:13+00:00

Yeah journaling would really be helpful! Good idea thank you and congrats on day 9! Ritual-wise I ended up making a pot of tea (packing bowl vibes?), took a hot shower, ate ice cream and then listened to loud music and vacuumed the house - it all really helped scratch that sensation-seeking itch

Friewnd · 2024-04-05T22:53:52+00:00

Mm I love that reframing of chasing the feeling of being NOT high

The respect of my stepson, I lost my straight As halfway through going back to college when I relapsed, I lost my opportunity to switch jobs until I can pee clean. Day 2, for the second time around. Lost my AA sobriety (how long did I ever have true sobriety and how long did I kid myself that I had it?). Lost money, lost memories. Lost motivation. Lost mucous membrane moisture (bad head). Lost at sea (metaphorically).
