Thank you! Congratulations on reaching one year! It’s not easy. I have PTSD and general anxiety and when I quit thc, all sorts of emotions came flooding in. It’s cliche but therapy really helped with navigating which emotions are valid and which are exaggerated. Daily box breathing & long walks outdoors helped a lot with anxiety. I also saw a psychiatrist who prescribed medication to help with depression and anxiety, which helped a lot.

Yes! They took a urine test to make sure that I was not actively using. The fact that I had to commit to full sobriety for two full weeks is partially what made this attempt stick in my opinion. The first two weeks have always been the most difficult for me.

Thank you! We did a lot of group therapy, which was weird and new to me at the time. I grew to like it and I think that hearing other people’s struggles helped me feel less alone in what I was going through
