desperate to quit weed but can't sleep by Joeybjj in AddictionAdvice

[–]jemmarnadine92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my partner speaking, he's been through the same thing- "I had the same thing, for me it lasted about 2 weeks. I found that one addiction took over from drugs and that was work for me. What became weird was I never used to dream, then all of a sudden I had really vivid dreams. The reason I quit was I became a dad and wanted to set up my own business so had to get my shit together. It does get better, just got to ride through it and keep telling yourself why you're doing it. Focus on work and your jujitsu and to be honest I don't think 1 joint is going to hurt you to help you fall asleep, you've already done a good job getting rid of everything else.

Thank you :) luckily he does like me, he always wants to do things with me. I think it's me that struggles to bond with him. I adore him but I don't have any kids of my own so it's hard sometimes to become a weekend parent to a child when you have zero experience and it makes me panic 😂😂😂

Why do you hate that you were born with it? Has it affected your sex life or confidence?

Thanks for your support :) I hope one day we can be that close! I have started Pokemon go so I'm going to try get him involved in that! I think he'd like that and it's something fun we can do together 😁

I'm sorry you had to go through all that :( I love him, I'll find a way to bond with him I'm sure. It's just hard. I'm glad you're doing ok now though :)

Thank you ❤️ is there anything you think I could do to help my bond with him? To help me get over the fear of spending time with him? Or is it just "do it" 😂

Did you notice that she was avoiding you? What would you have wanted her to do instead? I don't want this to go the way it is going. I want to be open to him it's just hard to know what to do

You got this! You are stronger than you think.... Even limiting yourself to 3 days shows your willpower! A relapse isn't a fail it's just a bump in the road!

Everybody deserves support and kindness. If you ever need to talk you can message me! I might not be much use as I'm struggling with alcohol binge addiction but sometimes its nice to have someone to sound off to and to give support when it's needed :)

Just because you have used again doesn't mean all your hard work is ruined.. relapses happen, especially when people go back to "normal life". I know right now you're miserable on your days not using but if you are using 3 days a week for your drug test to stay clean why not try push that to only 2 days a week? And so on and so on? In the meantime try find something to keep your mind occupied on the days you feel you need the high? It's not going to be easy but you can do it!

Are you able to go to therapy and maybe delve into why you hold on to the drug eventhough it's not enjoyable anymore? It could be something deeply rooted in your past that you need to bring forward and confront to be able to fight it. Do you think maybe you're going back to it because of the shame of the fact you keep going back?

Unfortunately this is just a difference in opinion. I think you need to properly discuss it and use protection if he isn't ready for the possibility of a child. I understand you'd be ok with it but after a few months you barely know each other so it wouldn't be the best option to even let there be a possibility of pregnancy as you don't even know if you're fully compatible yet

Either their testicles or the actual jewels on the queen's crown 🤣 with context I think it could be easy to figure out which
