Day Three – Can’t stop crying , mood swings, screaming and shouting, feeling sick, can’t sleep, constant headache, freezing cold no matter what. Had to get a couple of trains earlier and spent the entire time on the verge of a panic attack, the paranoia has got worse than ever before. My boyfriend has said its either him or the weed.
I love him so much but this is too hard.

I’ve been smoking weed for nearly 20 years, on and off. I have one son who regularly smokes it and a 16yr old who is already smoking it. I have had this love/hate relationship with weed for all those years. My extended family do not know about my addiction, they know I smoke weed just not how much. I think this is part of the problem, I work and keep my house clean, how can I be an addict? An addict can’t hold down a job etc. etc. I amaze and shame myself at how sneaky and devious I can be, I’ve even stolen my sons weed. I find myself doing disgusting things if I run out or try to quit. I have done all the things others have said, stolen weed, gone through the bin convinced I had some somewhere. Seriously a middle aged woman pulling the house apart looking for weed!
Anyway, I am inspired by what I’ve been reading, I am not necessarily a bad person but an addict (I know there is a huge debate over cannabis’ addictive qualities, but I am addicted, even if it is all in my head!).
I am going to read more on here about preparing to give up, I am going to beat this. It’s so easy to type those words I hope I have the strength to actually carry them out. I am even procrastinating about setting a date ……. how can I want to stop so badly on the one hand but seem unable to even set a date?

Thank God for this website. It helps to know I am not a freak. Have been smoking for well over 25 years. Just like so many others I was just an occasional smoker for a long time. Didn’t even buy it until I had a crisis in my life. Through that crisis, weed kept me from going off the deep end. But now it’s been years and I don’t like myself anymore. I have become secretive, anti-social. Feel like a fake…
It is my 3rd day without. Definitely feeling the anxiety, depression. My sleep has not been interrupted but have had the dull headache in the morning and an upset stomach after eating. I wouldn’t be eating if my stomach didn’t demand it. Nothing looks good…yuck!
Today will be my first day working without it. It used to give me such enthusiasm and this translated in my work! Afraid I won’t be as effective as I was when stoned. I think I was so afraid someone would know that I covered it up with the enthusiasm. Feeling adrift…

Hey folks, been smoking weed for 15 years every day I need to give it up as I feel it’s stopping me living my life to the full. I have also noticed that my moods are crazy I seem just to be in my own world most of the time. Day 2 of being off weed and all is well, I hope my girlfriend sticks with me through this hard time I know I am going to be hard to deal with until I am clean in body and mind.
