My pot smoking story

[itt]

I am 44 years old I began smoking pot at 15 and by the age of 18 I was smoking every day. By my early 20s I was smoking from the time I woke till the time I went to sleep. In my mid 20s I had started several very sucessful business and had progressed to smoking about 2 ounces a week. This continued until my mid 30s and realised this had now become a real problem. I have spent the last 10 years struggling to give up with varing sucess. I havent smoked pot for 9 months now and feel very positive and strong.

9 months is a lot. What can we expect in month 2 3 and so on? I just passed me 5th week and am feeling pretty confident but also scared of the months ahead.

Well done itt 9 months is great, it’s great to hear you are doing so well, well done Tonka you are doing great too, the first 5 weeks can be the toughest. How’s it going I wanna be normal? Have you been managing to cut down yet?

Thanks for sharing guys, take care.

hi Cannabis Rehab Admin ,
i havent tried yet,but have to admit its been playing on my mind for the last few weeks,so i am gonna try believe me,i hope this time around the detox symptoms aint that bad,because last time i didnt know what hit me,but this time i feel more educated about the whole thing so maybe it might be easier,even though it shouldnt be that hard considering i dont smoke that much,i really hope it makes a difference this time,because ive tried everything and nothing seems to work,i seem to get frightend for no reason and it goes and comes all day long,even simple things frighten me but i dont have any physical symptoms,everybody thinks im ok but inside im completely f'cked,this is a hidden illness...ill keep you posted but on my posting "please read my story"
thanks bfb

Hi I wanna be normal.

I really feel for you, I know how awful extreme anxiety can be, but like you say at least now you are better educated about the nature of your situation, the more you know about it the more power you will have over it. You will give up if and when you feel ready to do so. Until then hang in there mate and feel free to lean on us for support.

Take care and please keep us posted on how you are doing.
