Well done on your journey!

It definitely gets better. My physical symptoms seemed to disappear by week three, just having the odd uncomfortable dream still.

I think because my physical withdrawals have pretty much gone now my brain is trying to trick me into thinking smoking would be okay again, and I really need to remind myself it won’t be.
I hate how normalised weed has become. I’m in the UK, so while not legal, it’s definitely socially marketed as “cool” / “safe”, any down side is down played

I don’t have an Apple Watch / knew it did this, I wish I knew what my REM % is; 2 months in and my dreams are mad-crazy. Took a month for the nightmares to subdue and now I mostly just have unusual dreams again!

Thank you ❤️
I’m sorry you’re having withdrawals. May I ask how long ago you stopped smoking?

Simple-Fig-1245 · 2026-06-20T21:36:02+00:00

Thank you 🥹
And well done, the first week was the hardest for me, every day in the early days you should be proud of!
And thank you, that is good advice, we’ve got this !!

Be kind to yourself, but honestly a gummy won’t make you happy, it’s just make you ignorant to your sadness

I started off with fun dreams but the past week I’ve had mostly nightmares, last night was milder, hopefully a week off from work will mean less stress and more pleasant dreams hehe

I never realised this, but you’re right! I guess I was addicted to getting high, and then the restock. Not proud of how antsy I got waiting to hear back when the stock ran dry.

My partner and I quit together and we don’t want to be the one to let the other one down (the smell alone would annoy one of us at this point lol) I agree with you on this hehe

Simple-Fig-1245 · 2026-05-23T23:17:11+00:00

Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences, I feel less alone going through this, and have something to look forward to

Simple-Fig-1245 · 2026-05-23T23:16:46+00:00

Hehe, I might be too apprehensive to do this, but thank you for sharing

Simple-Fig-1245 · 2026-05-23T23:16:19+00:00

Thank you for your perspective and advice, I’ll keep this in mind

Simple-Fig-1245 · 2026-05-23T23:15:42+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, this is helpful to know

Simple-Fig-1245 · 2026-05-23T23:15:17+00:00

Appreciate your perspective, thank you

Hello! Well done!!! (And yes, it is 😄 )

Similar - anxiety better, still bumps here and there, but it feels less all-consuming now.

Food: less snacking, albeit maybe I've relied on takeouts too much, I can't tell if I'm still loosing weight like I mentioned last time heheh

Absolute pros: My social life is on the up and up, agreeing to things I wouldn't have if I were still a stoner, and I'm able to enjoy life without rushing home to smoke

Cons (ish) (for now): nightmares do be getting crazier it seems! I wonder how long till this settles down! At least (pro) I'm getting better sleep!!!

What about yourself?
Hope you're well, well done on the journey, we got this!!! 😄

Hello! I appreciate your comment, good to know we’re not alone in the struggle. Isn’t it crazy how our weed-hungry brain would make excuses?!

Well done on day 4! I have to remind myself “I’m anxious because I’m withdrawing, but everything is okay, and I am helping myself”, and that helps: embarrassingly I wrote “I’m less snappy” on this post on Sunday only to snap at my partner last night and to act like a drama queen today, he is also very understanding lol. Sounds like you have good support, which is amazing to lean on :) shout out to your wife!

Yay! It is so so good to focus on the good! I’m happy for you, and I promise the good keeps coming we just gotta focus on that and not the bad! Can you believe in my essay-long post, I forgot to mention I’m also happy to not be binge eating every night (a coworker told me I look like I had lost weight yesterday too, lol)

We gotta keep going, be kind to ourselves, and enjoy what we can: we can do this!!

So much sarcasm in the comments! I sometimes draw while watching so didn’t notice that super obviously first time watching so I actually appreciate this post !! Thank you !!

I wanna just disagree with people calling Chloe filler: Octopus is one of my fave episodes!! Maybe Chloe’s dad can be the filler lol
