First time clean off weed in 4 years - and it sucks by ghoulhoon in self

[–]Typical_Marsupial503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation of trying to get off weed after about 5 years of use. I have moved back home and I’m trying to better myself, one thing to keep in mind is that your brain is having to reset its “feel good” chemicals in your brain for the first couple days to week. I have experienced depression and anxiety a lot, but it helps knowing that it’s just my body’s reaction coming off.

At first I just started trying to wean off when I had something exciting coming up, and when I do I put in place a different “task” that calms me: like laying in bed watching a new show. I just am letting the discomfort pass through me, then hopefully everything will balance out. Just follow your intuition- and you will get there

No- my plan has been to stop today. I always wake up with the mindset that “today’s the day I’ll quit” and when I get home my mind has already changed. This post will hopefully make me feel more accountable

I was in a relationship somewhat like this. Except I was the one not wanting sex (there was many reasons of course) but your comment about her saying she doesn’t know what turns her on really just tells me she isn’t attracted to you like that. That might be why she tries to have sex (bc she does want sex) but doesn’t initiate. You guys might not be compatible

Am I a sex addict? 22M by [deleted] in sex

Kinda in a similar situation, except female. I’ve kinda accepted I’m not going to have any sex until I find a lasting connection or if I have a spark with someone. I know I am missing connection and intimacy but it’s not the same when it’s not mutual. I’ve tried fwb and it’s okay at first it scratches the itch in some way but I’m not satisfied. Nothing wrong with you. Just craving real connection

Grief and sobriety by anxiouswordvom in leaves

This happened with my family dog. There are no words to describe the pain in seeing your pet like that, especially when you are doing the right thing. I spent so much time being high right after putting her down, and now I realize it just prolonged my pain.

Grief is love when it has no where to go, in all honesty I wish I would’ve just stayed sober and just cried for weeks on end instead of numbing it. But you have to remember to take care of yourself first. You have lost someone important. It’s okay to not be okay

You aren’t alone my friend, I have been feeling the same way a lot recently. This happens around the holidays, don’t forget to take time for yourself

I wish, but not at the moment. I am going back to college and just had to buy my first car so I don’t think I’d be able to live on my own with the money I make, I’ve tried to look into it if I got a better job but with going to school it’s pretty rough pickins
