my marijuana quiting story
 |
Just stumbled upon this forum,and what a relief it is knowing I`m not the only one going through this ordeal,when i started smoking the drug over a year ago I was very cannabis Pro,I believed there was no hang over,and that it wasn`t addictive.
One joint a week turned into 1 every 4 days,then every 2 days and then 5-10 joints a night,every night for around 11months.I began to see there IS a hang over,or at least I was experiencing some form of hangover(the foggy brain)while I battled depression and severe social anxiety the drug made life so much easier,I didnt have to face the real world I could just be stoned all day listening to music and watching trailer park boys,heh.
But after having to detox smoking normal smokes I gave up the drug and wow was I in for some torture,I suffer from horrible mood swings,extremely happy then all of a sudden im so depressed that I just want to close my eyes for ever,this of course is tying in with my life long depression which I had at least gotten under control while using weed.
Insomnia,lack of apatite,anxiety man it all hit me at once within the first 3 days of quiting,I think if you smoke tobbaco as well as weed(as in smoking without weed) that you are in for a hell of a battle,I know because I`m in the middle of the war.
The night times are the worst,time draaags by and I just want it to hurry up so I can sleep and be relieved of the detox symptoms ,work somewhat takes my mind off it,as does any other activity that wasn`t associated with me smoking weed,exercise etc another useful thing I found was herbal tea,nettle tea/green tea have been working wonders for me.
While the road ahead of you looks dark,scary and painful there is light at the end of the tunnel,your brain begins to get full functioning back and you notice your short term memory returning(nice to be able to put my keys down and remember where I put them,which Id usually forget within 3secs of having put them down)
As for me,I`m in my 3rd week of being THC free,its tough guys but just hold on,the results are worth it.
