Today was a long, busy day. One of the keys for me as I learn how to quit marijuana is to keep yourself busy. This is especially true in the first 3 to 5 days. During these first days, I have a bit of a marijuana hangover, and the only cure is more pot! Getting past what I call the ‘fuzzy’ stage is really hard work….because your head is still kind of fuzzy, and would rather be stoned, or completely sober….choose sober, it just takes a few more days to get there….and a lot longer to maintain!
I plan on having a nice, calm weekend. My goal is to eat healthy, self-made meals!
Happy Friday everyone!
Days Sober: 7
Hey everyone, I am back and still dedicated as ever to Quit Smoking Weed!
Guess I better fill everyone in on the last month or so. Looks like my last post was on December 8th. Yikes.
It is a New Year and a fresh start. Many of us want to quit smoking pot in the new year! Good for us! I am going to make 2008 a great year.
I got pretty depressed, and heavily medicated, aka super stoned, from about December 8th through the 20th. I was smoking a lot of weed, keeping weird hours, and sleeping or at least laying down more that 12 hours a day. I felt really guilty about letting myself down – especially because it was the first time I really put a huge amount of effort into ending my marijuana addiction. I got a really bad cold at the time, and was smoking, then coughing, and had super bad mucus and phlegm from all the smoke I was inhaling. A normal person doesn’t smoke or drink when they are sick, and addict does!
I didn’t smoke weed for about 10 days over the holiday Dec 19-28, but smoked on the 29th of December through the 4th of January. I haven’t smoked since the 4th which officially puts me on Day 6 of sober. This is awesome. I have had some great comments while I was away and am still dedicated to this goal. I had some minor relapses and my first major one, but I also accomplished a new record since I began this blog of 10 days sober.
I will be posting some new articles this week on foods helpful for detoxing from addiction. I am sure you will enjoy the. If you would like me to write on a specific topic, please let me know by posting a comment.
