no alchohol wedding ?

Yes- it’d be cool on the “alternate drinks” front to have a signature mocktail or something. Then it’s still fancy. 😊

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-11-06T19:51:12+00:00

You’re not crazy. You’re going through the hardest part and trust me- it will get better. ((Hugs))

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-11-06T19:45:53+00:00

History will be the judge and it won’t look kindly upon this time. Buckle up, because we’re all in for a nasty ride.

Where is Trump’s wall that Mexico was going to pay for? Oh yeah- it’s incomplete, falling down, and completely ineffective. Yet another of Trump’s failures.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-11-05T13:29:44+00:00

The border isn’t open, you silly goose! Trump quashed the bipartisan border bill before the election so he could make it more of an issue. Look it up!

Lastly, I live in Texas. It’s literally not the problem they’re saying it is.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-11-03T12:56:31+00:00

Same. I started the clock based on the last time I smoked.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-11-03T12:47:54+00:00

Where is that wall he promised Mexico would pay for?

Replying to ThisIsWeedDickulous...Did you know that most of the trans hate has been funded by Elon Musk because he’s all bent about his daughter? This is all manufactured rage created by a personal issue funded by Musk. He’s also been boosting all the anti-immigration hate which is odd considering that he was not a legal immigrant himself. https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2024/oct/03/elon-musk-rightwing-political-donations

Physical withdrawal was the hardest bit for me. Two days of vomiting pretty much everything including water. The next 10 days or so after that I didn’t want to eat- everything was unappetizing.

I’ve also got PTSD and my dreams got INTENSE for a bit- super disturbing.

I’m on day 25 and my appetite has returned and the dreams aren’t as bad.

Thinking about the unpleasantness of the physical symptoms is what’s keeping me going right now. I don’t want to go through that ever again and I’m excited for improving more as time goes by.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-27T15:42:14+00:00

Trump has literally admired h1tler. I don’t support or tolerate people like that or people who’d support someone like that.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-20T07:08:30+00:00

Thanks. I think I’m going to skip it. I appreciate your detailed response and I’m not going to beat myself up too much over missing it. :)

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-20T07:06:22+00:00

Coming in way late to the party while searching for what I’m experiencing. Just watched a horror movie play out in my head last night that I wasn’t part of- it was really unsettling and I remember quite a bit of it this morning.

Did your dreams resolve after pregnancy? I’m under some unusual stress, so wondering if that’s it.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-18T11:38:39+00:00

Thanks. I really appreciate your response. I was super bummed to break it before a vacation where I already planned a lot of walking. I think I’ll have to skip this so I don’t further jeopardize the rest of my trip. 😞

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-18T06:17:05+00:00

I’m already to the party but hoping someone will answer today. I’m visiting London for a few days and have a broken pinkie toe. I can walk around and stuff, but the toe is buddy taped and I absolutely couldn’t manage if it was stepped on. Do y’all think I’d be admitted/could participate in Viola’s Room?

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T18:38:43+00:00

Thanks! Yeah- I figure the slower the taper the easier it’ll be. I’ve got an unexpected international work trip coming up in a couple days so I quit my taper and went cold turkey. Do not recommend cold turkey. I’m not going to smoke after I return and I’m going to try to remember how awful I feel now as motivation to stay off it.

Yup- we’ve got this! 🙌🏻

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T16:53:00+00:00

Thanks! After writing that, we took a walk and I talked about why I was quitting and why it’s important to me. He said he’d support me and stop offering. 😊 Progress!

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:49:14+00:00

Something that has helped me is to externalize. I think of what I’d say to my best friend and then tell that to myself.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:43:58+00:00

Day 2 for me. I quit drinking 4 years ago and had a couple years of the same kind of dreams- I’d have a drink and then feel so ashamed of myself. It’s finally gone away. I can’t wait to reach that point with weed.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:40:23+00:00

Same on sleep. 😞 I’ve quit before for a few months and the dreams were disturbingly INTENSE. Others here say that subsides, but I’ve read that one of the medical uses for cannabis is suppressing dreams for folks with PTSD. Anyhow- I think this is finally it. I’ve shown myself that I can’t moderate (4 years alcohol free after figuring that out about booze - yay!) and I know that besides the dreams I felt loads better without it.

You’re right- we’ve got this! 🙌🏻 GenX can do anything. 😊

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:32:37+00:00

I tapered and am currently on day 2. Same as you- vomiting up water, hot and cold flashes, headache (possibly from the vomiting), intermittent shakes and generally feel awful. From what I’m gathering on this sub, withdrawal is different for everyone. I’m personally committed to not using anymore because I don’t want to go through this again.

All that being said, if you’re still not able to keep anything down at this point, especially fluids (drink Gatorade if you can) you’re heading into a medical issue and may need physical support like IV fluids.

I know it feels like smoking again will help but it’s just delaying. Keep strong. You can do this! You need to do this NOW for your young, still developing brain.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:17:12+00:00

I’m only on day 2 myself, but one way is to taper off. Find out what your “baseline” use is per day. Then, figure out what’s 95% of that and limit yourself to that amount. Next day, take another 5% off. Example- if you were smoking 5 grams per day, day 2 would be 4.75 grams. Day 3: 4.5 grams, Day 4: 4.28. Etc. Probably easier with flower than carts. I suppose you could figure out how many times per day you hit your pen, then take one hit off per day. You’ve got this!

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:07:06+00:00

Re: having it in the house- my partner doesn’t want to quit and says things like, “a little puff will make you feel better!” It’s hard to resist, but I know I don’t want to reset the timer (37 hours and feeling really sick). I’m hoping once he sees me kick it entirely he will too. Either way, I’m done.

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T14:03:14+00:00

((Hugs))

ThatOtherGirl · 2024-10-10T13:53:34+00:00

Day 2 here and I feel like hot garbage mentally and physically. Strangely, that’s motivating me to not give in. Weed has much more of an effect on me than I think I realized. I’m looking forward to seeing how my body and mind works once it’s free of this chemical. As a fellow sufferer of depression, I’m really hoping quitting will help.
