Hi there fellow quitters. I too am trying to stop smoking hash. I am 16 days in now and it is a bit heavy going. In saying that I have not had any. I also am going off the fags at the same time so I am extra grumpy.
I am 42 and have been smoking since about 17 years old. The last 2 years in particular my usage became more heavy. Near enough when I was awake I smoked. I still managed to function reasonably well, job, wife, kids and other hobbies but I felt a bit detached from everything. I had a cunning plan to stop and took myself off to Amsterdam for a last hurrah on the smoke then stopped the day I came back. I had wanted to stop for ages and almost every time I was coming to the end of my lump I said I wouldn't get anymore but always did. I too felt anxious as my lump got smaller and I was demented if ever there was a dry up. I found myself doing things I said I never would like searching about for 'friends' for 'a bit for a joint', smoking the minute I got up, at work, in the car, at non smokers houses, in front of my kids, parents, colleagues etc etc.
I am beginning to rabble on now, sorry. Anyhow when I stopped I checked out this cannabis rehab site and I find it helpful. I like to read the posts and find them supportive. I don't consider myself a non smoker yet but I am seriously trying to stop. I am also seriously demented trying to stop but I am keeping myself busy. My family, friends and colleagues know I am trying to detox so are more able to put up with me.
My sincere thanks for allowing me to post here and chin up to everyone else trying to quit.
Alan.
