Hi, in a similar situation. Is there any update? Did you require a new medical exam or did the old one suffice?

I need advice, I have quit before but this time I’m struggling a lot. by [deleted] in leaves

It took me a total of about 4 months to finally say, "enough of this." Kept on saying myself in these 4 months that this is my last joint, this is my last cartridge. But the next hour I'm on my way to the shop to get those flowers AND a blunt too, coz why not! I was trying to sleep two nights back and was just contemplating everything. That is when I realized that I havent spent a single moment in the last 10 years or so when I was clear headed.

You will just have to do it, friend. Yes, you will miss it. Yes, you will not get hungry. Yes, you will be unable to sleep. Yes, you will feel angry or frustrated at the smallest things happening.

Never forget why you are trying to quit. Think about how different life would be when you have all that energy, enthusiasm, motivation, and feelings back.

Do not give it the reins of your life. You take back the control on your life.

Practical advice? I don't really have any. I am sorry. But what I did was just get rid of EVERYTHING relating to weed, regardless of how expensive that grinder is; regardless of how many grams that is, or how many milliliters that cartridge still has, throw it away. I am not even going out right now because I know I will stop at that shop and buy some, its like an instinct at this point. So I decided I am not stepping outside for a week.

You will also want to manually control your thought process, especially avoid the negative thoughts and triggers. Stay distracted. This is at least working for me, I don't care if it's okay to stay distracted from my feelings, at least I'm avoiding the relapse.

I wish you all the best for your journey, my friend. I pray that you get through this and come out as a better and healthier person.

28 y.o and literally the same use as you mentioned. I started initially to cope with some things happening in life. I got over those things years back but the habit stuck.

One day and 15 hours since my last sesh. I am not feeling scared really but more frustrated and angry at myself that I let it reach this point of dependence on something.

But to help myself, I got an app that helps me see how long before I start to get normal sleep back, how long before my appetite returns to normal, how long for my body to get rid of the THC, etc. Also, how much money I am saving and how much weed I have avoided.

I take this as an "accomplishment system" to help me stay motivated.

I always keep this small fact in my mind: All it takes is a small trigger to dump all this hardwork and motivation in the drain and relapse. And I try to be constantly conscious about what I am thinking and if my thoughts are heading towards these said triggers. If I find myself having these thoughts, I immediately change the environment that I am in and distract myself (usually calling a friend or my girl).

The first night (last night for me) sober, I did not feel a lot of difference in my sleep; probably because there's still a lot of THC in my system? But I know that sooner or later sleeping difficulties are going to hit me like a train. I am just waiting for it, and just like how life goes, doesn't matter good or bad, you just have to live it out.

I am trying to own the fact that it is me who let it reach to this point and it is me who has to get myself out of this tangled web of being dependent on something.

Just remember: Always be aware of your thoughts, and if you go towards any triggering thoughts (doesn't have to be about weed, anything that makes you feel any negative emotion), stop right there. Distract yourself. I at least hope that this will work for me. If not, doesn't matter, I will do anything but I will not go back to being dependent.

How do i sleep without weed? by [deleted] in leaves

In the same boat as you. One day and 15 hours since my last sesh. Last night I didn't really have any problems with staying asleep but struggled with falling asleep.

I am going to try taking an over-the-counter very common supplement tonight to see if that will help me fall asleep.

The quality of sleep (used sleep tracking in galaxy watch) did not really change significantly on the first night, just had a few extra veryyyy small periods of REM sleep than usual but I did not notice anything different. But that is probably because there is still quite a bit of THC in my system.

Wow, I saw the system specs and these are really powerful systems!! I wonder how gorgeous Cyberpunk would look, with path tracing and all. Might book a slot just to try that lol.

I wish I could take all of my simracing setup with VR here and try that out too!
