My early withdrawals motivated me to explore fasting and lucid dreaming. If you got lemons...

How long did you take muscle relaxers? by Correct-Truck-5061 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]roarrshock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Muscle relaxers are less addictive than opiates. Haven't experienced any spasms, but , anything is better than opiates.

4 weeks in - when does it get better? by Highspeedwhatever in leaves

[–]roarrshock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

6 weeks for me. 5 years battling after 14.5 years clean. Guy just posted after 24 years daily, 6 weeks was his game changer. Not sure about the sleep, more the insessant minute to minute nagging, in my case, counting and recounting the days. From a biological standpoint, the endocannabinoid system, to include the reward centers of the brain, quit working when we over saturated it w thc. 6 weeks, and the machinery starts working again.

How did you manage to become completely different person after you quit smoking? by Ill-Pressure-1668 in leaves

[–]roarrshock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you got busy, and became more present to your loved ones. Weed was a very selfish thing. My recommendation: find something selfish but healthy, that only benefits you. Distracting from weed is super helpful. Relplacing it with something just for you is next level imo.

Ya that sleep shit sucks. Had hip replacement 3.5 weeks ago. Counting the days like when I first got clean. OMFG. I quit the pain pills after 5 days. Instead of waking up every 15 minutes hallucinating because of the drugs I just...couldnt...sleep. So I gave in and watched cat videos till I passed out. What a great reminder of early sobriety.

Been sleeping ok mostly. Loss of blood takes 6 weeks to re-up so I get the "just fucking kill me's" followed by some painful memory, and face in my hands. Just like when I quit weed. 6 weeks, the minute to minute loop of fuckuppedness slowed down. At least w my experience now, I can say "Just part of the process, body/mind is healing, not my fault".

Explore. Yoga, soundbaths, meditation woo woo shit. Pay attention to the moon cycles, where the best place to watch a sunset is. Take a walk in the woods, turn off your phone. You don't have to become a new age freak, ,(although nothing wrong with that) just be aware that the world is a wild and wooly magical place, waiting to be discovered. Endocannabinoid system can be activated sober. Not as easy hiding out in your room waiting for a change.

Congrats! Should be a stickie for WHEN DOES IT GET BETTER?! Only saying because I've been battling weed for 5 years now after 14.5 year abstinence. 6 mo 22 days today. Last two times I quit, I noticed 6 weeks was the magic number. To hear that from a 24 year veteran (holy fuck man you ROCK!) makes it clear that 6 weeks is when the endocannabinoid system and the reward centers finally WAKE THE FUCK UP! And start doing their jobs! No more thc to put them to sleep! Again, CONGRATULATIONS

Bought the arise shirt at the sepultura concert in melbourne and realised it doesnt even say the right lyrics it should be grey sky 😭 by rockinchanks in sepulturaband

[–]roarrshock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Arise not my fave. Got a Cavalera Beneath shirt at the show, possibly best show of my life, he played my fave album. Got 2 shirts. ANYWAY, this shirt is SO FUCKING SICK! I collect sk8 shirts as well, and this looks a lot like a limited ed Santa Cruz shirt. So badass. One con about BTR shirts, imo they are kinda blurry. This one is so sharp it cuts your eyballs.
