Oh the roller coaster...

[doublehaze]

I was on such a high during the last few days... Today I feel like I would just get smashed. I am so irritable, so on the edge. I feel so tired. During the last few days I felt like I would not touch anything again, today a spliff would be soo good and relaxing. F***!

[Happy to be clean]

not sure where your at in the detox process but after a few weeks your energy levels will lift up to much more normal levels, and the irritability will go away mostly. What helped me most when I had those feelings was to take a shower or a hot Epsom salt bath w/ baking soda as it helps with the detox and gets your mind off the tiredness and irritability. In addition to this you can try working out or just running as it raises your dopamine/ feel good levels naturally and will help your mood become better. Stick with it though those feelings will pass and your rehabilitation will be well on its way and you will feel amazing naturally without the need of substance. If you want a group to talk to about these feelings till they pass they have marijuana anonymous meetings in most communities now where you can discuss these issues with a group that will understand.

It is one hell of a rollercoaster, especially for the first few months, I still have days where I could murder a spliff and I have not smoked for a long time, I probably always will.

Hi doublehaze,

I'm so sorry to hear you're going thru the mill rite now..it sux bigtime...I'm glad u came here and vented instead of going for the spliff..congratulations on doing that cos I know how hard it is!! I'm in the middle of an angry time too...hate it! But as much as it irritates me, I know that pot wouldn't help...and I'd end up being even angrier...with myself mainly! This detoxing thing sux. It gets so frustrating and seems never ending at times....but it will end buddy...things will look better. The ups and downs do your head in but the downs get fewer and further between and the angry thing..will pass tomorrow, or the next day..or the next! It passes..it comes in big thunderous crashing waves but they always recede...I'll keep that in mind if u will! Like needabreak says, we haven't killed anyone, so we're doing pretty well..Peace.

Hang in there man, I know where your coming from I'm there in fact. I think I'm around a month now totally clean and my hope just feels like its gone but I'm still alive eh, the outlook may well turn positive once more but for the past week my heads been crashed. Does not help my anxieties one bit this smoking abstinence and my well-being is so short lived mostly like sparks.
Stay strong.
