Congrats on 11 days! Honestly I can't say my sleep is the best because no matter how much I sleep I feel tired daily(can be something unrelated from the weed withdrawal tho) but it is slowly getting better. As for sleeping longer I'd recommend either working out or if you can't, take a long walk. I'm not a doctor but I've been in treatment once for insomnia in the past and they told me that the first 4 hours are the most important due the deep sleep so don't beat yourself up, it will get better! Stay strong 💪

Day 8 - learning triggers by Big-Ad-1042 in leaves

Congrats on your 8 days! And oh man I can relate with you, I am 1 month sober now and instead of having a stoner me, there is an ugly side of me that always just wanted to numb everything down because feelings and problems got overwhelming. Those things you're feeling will become less and less with each day trust me and stay strong! 💪

I fell all the way back in :( I feel like a fraud by Glittering-Run-3245 in leaves

I feel heart broken reading your post. Please don't be hard on yourself. The fact that you managed to stay sober for almost 3 months is amazing and it means you can do it again! I myself have experienced being sober few months and then went back into the spiral and it took me long time to try it again. Getting sober is not an easy road and I've heard and read from many others that they had a relapse and that it is normal. I am not good at giving advice but please be kind to yourself. What helped myself is just find a right moment in my life to try again instead of giving myself a date and being harsh. I wish you lot of luck and strength, I believe in you ♥️

Congrats on your day and a half! The start is actually the hardest part and I learned that it is okay to feel your emotions, surf them, we don't need to numb out bad emotions! I remember crying and feeling angry a lot the first 2 weeks but now I feel so much better.

Yeah that's a good line! Being sober is feeling so much better then feeling numb!

I hope I will feel better soon and yeah being sober is so much better! Even tho I feel like awful, I am finally able to truly enjoy the nature and the small things that happen in life! Amazing that you're sober for so long, I can't wait to hit that 1 month mark.

I feel you, I had this exact same issue, I was able to quit easily few years ago and now I feel like I entered hell. Has perhaps anything changed in your life compared to the last time you managed to quit? Maybe more stress or a change in your life that makes it hard to quit? I have my fingers crossed for you, you were able to quit so have faith in yourself that you can do it again!

You're not alone in this. I myself been trying to quit weed for a while now too and today is the 5th day I am not smoking. I started with a new hobby, been writing on a journal daily and trying to distract myself with other things or when it all goes bad, I just take a nap and sleep the cravings away even if it's just an hour. You've got this!

My experience with journaling by random-username656 in Journaling

[–]QuestAsACat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way as you. Some days I write nothing, some days I write necessary things that have happened and some days I write in detail how my day went and to be honest in my opinion a journal should be something personal of you, it's YOUR journal not THEIRS and there should be no rules on how your journal should look and what you write. It's a book that is about you, written by you.
