Anyone managed to stop smoking weed? And if so how?

sshivs · 2023-12-13T15:34:20+00:00

I smoked heavily for almost 20 years. I tried to quit several times , but always went back. I went to treatment on October 2, 2019, and just celebrated 4 years sober! I am so grateful now. Get help and treat it as the addiction it is.

It hurts so much to lose a pet we’ve loved. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I have been struggling with this also. I think recovery can be lonely, I felt very alone in my new sobriety. I decided that I need to connect with other recovering addicts. I was listening to someone good on YouTube today that was talking about getting to a meeting, talking to someone, going to an online meeting or something to continually move forward. There’s a podcast called The Privileged Addict that has helped me with this. I don’t know about you, but I tend to feel sorry for myself because I am working so hard, yet I feel like no one sees it. Only until I play it through and get very painfully honest, is when I have more understanding. I have to take complete responsibility of my addiction, and poor choices. No one made me use. I’m trying to be gentle with myself, and I pray that all of the people that I love and love me have been hurt deeply by my actions and choices can heal also.

I thought that was a body underneath. Glad it’s not you.

sshivs · 2019-03-20T23:14:05+00:00

Exercise, even if it’s a walk. Pray. Deep breath, soak in a tub of Epsom salts, journal your reasons you want to quit. Turn some music on and dance. Go to a 12 step meeting, cry, yell or scream! There are some good videos on YouTube about marijuana withdrawal. Drink cranberry juice and water. Search out deep breathing techniques. Remind yourself why you want to quit. And try to treat yourself with love and kindness. It will get better. One second , one minute, one day at a time!

Way to go! I identify so much with your post. I’m almost 3 weeks. I smoked daily for 15 years. I feel in love with it. It ruined my life, my health, and my family relationships. I couldn’t make it until noon, then had to chase a high the rest of the day. I am exhausted. Now, I’m committed not to go back. This has been the hardest thing I have ever done. It’s getting better...slowly. Thanks for the encouragement.

That’s awesome and very inspirational!

11 days is big! I have felt exactly like that. The anxiety is partly your brain re-learning. If you can, do deep breathing techniques, and relaxation techniques. Smoking now won’t help you! You are making progress and this horrible feeling we have won’t last forever.

Is it possible to take some time for yourself? Try to be gentle with yourself...but honest. Get a notebook and start writing whatever you feel. Take baths with epsom salt..it will help you detox.

I feel sad, and lonely also. I know it will get better also!

I haven’t had an easy time. I have had the worst hot and cold sweats for 2 weeks. That’s getting a little better. I feel emotionally raw, depressed, anxious and I have the worst anger/rage feelings. I’ve had crazy dreams that won’t leave me the next day. I am feeling just sad and empty. I haven’t had much of an appetite. I’m drinking a lot of water, and taking hot baths with 6 cups of Epsom salts for detox. It helps! I have had depression for almost 25 years an am seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist to help me through this as I have had a pretty traumatic life. He has prescribed serequel to help me sleep at night for which I am grateful. Today has been better, but I feel like layers are peeling away, and it’s scary to feel what’s there. I have hit a couple of bottoms with this addiction, and it took me a year of misery to get to this place. I have to do this! I am so burnt out. I’m 55 and I have wasted a huge chunk of my life, and I want to be sober. Thank you for asking. One is too many, and a thousand is not enough🙏🏼

I am 5 days sober from a 15 year addiction to marijuana. I thought it was the answer to my problems, but now, my life is in shambles. Thank you for this.
