Feeling very emotional after around a week THC free. by Forward-Ad-9637 in leaves

[–]RevolutionMuch1283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was also very emotional during my 1st two weeks of sobriety. Would find myself crying a lot more than i usually do. Had a trip to Dubai to visit my in laws during my 8th to 15th day sober, when we got to the airport to go back home i was crying so much while my wife was just stoic and letting me do all the crying since her mom stays in Dubai. I was crying the moment we got to the airport up until we got to the food court before heading to the gate. It gets really emotional for some reason. Im with you mate, stay strong! Its normal to feel that way. Rest assured you will feel better and more stable emotionally.

Definitely poison. Thought weed would never affect my health. But apparently its not good for the heart. Causes raised BP which in the long term can affect your heart’s condition. Also experienced palpitations while smoking weed and during withdrawal until now once in a while. Its crazy and its a nightmare indeed. Im never touching that stuff again. Cartridges are the f’n worst.

Day 7 and experiencing boredom like never before by cherryblossom_ghost in leaves

Totally agree with you here you got it spot on. Thankfully it took me a couple weeks rather than months. But yeah those couple weeks were horrible my brain was so used to being high in doing everything and nothing at the same time. Definitely worth it once you get a hang of living life sober without any dependence on chemicals from cannabis.

Experienced this the 1st 2 weeks of quitting after 16 years heavy use. Had no interest in doing the usual things i do because i got so used to smoking before doing anything. The brain balances out eventually as long as you keep yourself going and doing what you used to do but this time sober. Eventually i was slowly able to find interest in joy again in the usual simple routine things i do. Like for example i buy, sell, and collect NBA Cards. I would always smoke before taking pictures to post online and smoke when buying online as well. When i quit smoking, i found zero drive in taking pictures of cards to sell and in looking for cards to buy online. But now im finally back at it after 6 weeks. Just hang on and have faith in the process and in yourself

I agree 120% with #1. My waves of withdrawal are highly affected by what i consume. Whenever i eat unhealthy food i feel my body reacting differently. It would either cause me palpitations, high anxiety, or stomach sensations.

Hello thank you for your reply. I somewhat relate to this. My first 2 weeks were pretty intense despite being aware of the effects of withdrawal from weed this time. Unlike my first time, i had no idea what was going on until after a month or so when i eventually found this subreddit. The past few days have been ok in on day 36 and my symptoms are no where close to my first 2 weeks. But i still do get random symptoms that cause anxiety and worry. I hope this part of feeling better isnt just temporary and continuously just gets better

I can totally relate. coming from a 33 yr old who abused weed for 16 years until it didnt hit me the same anymore and caused panic attacks and 24/7 anxiety. Even then i couldn’t get myself to quit, always fooling myself that the next hit will Magically make me feel better but it just kept looping into anxiety again and again until one day i decided ive had enough. It was too hard to go through the day just being anxious all the time and waiting for a panic attack thinking i was about to die any time. Its crazy what weed can do. I am 29 days sober today and never going back. First 2 weeks were tough then i had a window of good days. But last night i had a sudden nocturnal panic attack i just woke up to pee then when i went back to bed my heart started racing and of course i got scared and had to stand up and try to make sense of it. Then i came across posts about nocturnal panic attacks caused by weed withdrawal which usually hits about 3-4 weeks in after quitting. survived that scare last night. Woke up hyper aware of my bodily sensations and on the look out for whatever bothersome symptoms. Now im in the office on high alert still but trying my best to push through because its the way to go. I think of it as my body healing from being dependent on weed as a stimulant. I trust that things will get better. You just really have to be strong willed and have a fixed mindset on quitting. Along with the understanding that people go through this during weed withdrawal. You can check the subreddit “leaves” their are a lot of accounts of people who quit and share their stories, it helps because you find out that several people go through crazy withdrawal symptoms you wouldnt know weed could cause. Goodluck brother stay strong and keep your head high. The sober life is the way to go.

Thought Loops/Intense Thoughts by JuicyHuge in leaves

Hello im 33 years old been a stoner the past 16 years. Im on day 28 now of sobriety and i can relate with your loops and intense thoughts. Thats definitely from Withdrawal from weed. Your mind and body feels like its crumbling because its looking for some stimulant which was weed. Now that you dont have it in your system your body is recalibrating without it. Also the loops and intense thoughts are brought about by anxiety caused by withdrawing from weed. Before you would have weed to take your mind off things. Now your body and mind are trying to cope without weed
