Day 4 - weed withdrawal induced insomnia!

Posted by admin on March 21, 2008

Today was a pretty good day. When I was attempting to quit smoking weed last time, I was spending a fair bit of my ‘new’ extra time at the pub, which lead to a lot of relapses. I haven’t been drinking in the last couple of weeks - and have had little to drink in 2 months. This feels really good, and waking up in the morning is way easier when you don’t go to sleep with a couple of beers in you.

Weed has always made me sleep well, so the last couple of days have seen little sleep. I got up around 3 pm yesterday, and had a slight nap between 4-6 AM, and just powered through the day. So I have been up for 30 hours with a 2 hour nap in between. I am definitely tired, and should sleep well tonight. I haven’t had any of the crazy dreams yet. I will be sure to let you know about them.

I am taking a lot of vitamin C and drinking lots of water to keep my immune system up. I haven’t been very hungry in the last couple days either. I have been eating a better diet than I normally do though. It will be a busy Easter weekend and I am sure I will have an appetite when I sit down for Easter dinner!

I have been online and reading a lot about psychology, addiction, and all that fun stuff - I am kind of able analyze my own actions and learn from them. This takes a lot of introspection. My mind is starting to clear and I have pretty good energy when considering my lack of appetite and crazy sleeping schedule.

Lucky we get adrenalin to keep us going - although it only lasts so long.
Cheers again!

Actually, GL Collins, eating better has caused me to have less bullshit in me than normal. I think it is the higher fiber content of the vegetables I am eating.

This is true, and I have experienced these things before…usually takes 5 days for the really bad insomnia and appetite stuff to go away for me.
