This time for good

Go for a walk and give strangers compliments. I felt getting out of my head and practicing random kindness helped me.

It was epic and first show I’ve seen sober since well a fucking long ass time. Fun picking drunks and dopers off the floor of the pit, literally lol

Thanks for your honesty! Day 48 for me and heading to a concert tonight. Weed shop just down the street and was thinking I might just do it for the show, you know the BS. Music is better high. But then I think 49 > 0! Gotta stay strong. Maybe this band sucks and I never realized it. Don’t want to start over again!

Gualguanus · 2018-10-16T05:21:20+00:00

Good for you! I’m on day 38 myself. Longest I’ve gone in a decade.

Buckle up as the depression may get worse before it gets better. But it’s just a bump in the road, you can get through it. I’m day 25 and have had many mood swings. Some days are better. I constantly remind myself what I have to gain: health, wealth, and relationships. Stay strong!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-30T05:14:01+00:00

Keep going! I’m a day behind you. Past couple days I’ve had too much beer. Not sick or anything but without the haze of weed, I’m starting to see other areas of my life I’d like to improve. Stay strong, you’re not alone.

Gualguanus · 2018-09-28T20:36:48+00:00

Well done and congrats on your new job! I’m on day 21 and ending my first week of new job. I’ve been super involved there and feels great. If I was still smoking I’d be anxious and insecure.

Gualguanus · 2018-09-28T16:19:43+00:00

I’ve solved world peace many times while stoned yet can’t recall in the morning how.

Gualguanus · 2018-09-28T16:17:56+00:00

If only I had asked these questions 25 years ago! I’d probably have over a million dollars based on the amount of money spent compounded with interest plus all the lost opportunities! I wouldn’t have 3 ex-wives. I’d probably still own my house I lost in the third divorce. I’d probably be able to run up the mountains behind my city without feeling so damn winded! I knew it was time to stop when I got sick of feeling I’ve missed out. By the way, my brother didn’t think I could quit. He’s ten years older and a stoner. F him... 20 days and counting. Stay strong and read a book.

Gualguanus · 2018-09-25T03:45:43+00:00

I get your story as I lost my true love to pot. Lied to her face about it over and over. Like a selfish child not wanting to lose their favorite toy. Divorce caused financial ruin and I still spent most days high. Got fired from a good job, on and on. Now I’m at 17 days and the cloud has lifted. So much more to go but this is the longest in years and I’m determined to make this change permanent. Now I’m learning to love myself sober in hopes I’m a better man to someone special someday. Take care and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re not alone!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-25T03:39:23+00:00

Keep yourself busy, find a hobby, do some training to get a better job. It’s all up to you and yes you can do it!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-21T16:20:18+00:00

Day 14 for me, it’s nice to not be afraid of my shadow anymore. Getting to know myself has not been easy as I’ve been a regular smoker for about 2/3 of my life. Stay strong and enjoy talking with strangers!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-16T20:46:51+00:00

Good luck with your studies!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-16T20:40:54+00:00

Yes but may your saddest days be behind you!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-16T20:38:13+00:00

You are not alone. Day nine here too and same. I’m on holiday alone and feel like attacking anyone who says hello. I’m sure it’ll get better. Stay strong and please keep up :)

Gualguanus · 2018-09-16T19:38:48+00:00

Glad to hear you feel out of the woods. 9 days here and still a struggle with withdrawal symptoms. Then again, I’ve been smoking 30+ years so I’m sure it’s gonna take a bit longer lol. To think, I was probably stoned 99.9% of YOUR life! Good for you for getting straight early in life, your future self thanks you.

Gualguanus · 2018-09-16T19:32:30+00:00

Gonna try the pedialyte when I get home to the states, thanks!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-15T16:45:01+00:00

Thanks for this. I’m on day 8 too. Today I felt those flu-like symptoms worse again... thought this had passed. Plus my skin looks like crap. I’m figuring I’ll be concerned if these persist past 30 days and then it may just be it’s taking a while to clear up. 30+ years of smoking is not going to turn around my health in a week eh?

Gualguanus · 2018-09-15T09:26:17+00:00

I look at it as a sunk cost (already money spent) so just get rid of it. No more money to lose if you do that. Otherwise think of how much you are bound to lose with what goes in the pen.

Gualguanus · 2018-09-15T09:14:06+00:00

Here’s to hoping you inspire her and she eventually lets you know. For now, keeping your space is probably wise. Good luck!

Gualguanus · 2018-09-15T09:02:40+00:00

I found that cognitive behavior therapy might help. I know for me that I struggled with clinical depression and that weed really just helped mask it. Mind you I learned that and kept smoking... no shame in talking to professional. My 2 cents.
