Another day without smoking pot. Today was a better day. I was extremely busy today, and did not experience any intense cannabis withdrawal symptoms. The anxiety and dread that I was feeling is definitely in recession. I know that I am only 8 days in, but I feel like the worst part of the psychological detox is past me. Now I will need to deal with sobriety on a daily basis. The physical detox will take up to 3 months for all of the fat-soluble thc to be free from my system. Only after 3 months will I consider myself ‘clean’ from weed. Clean is not the same thing as recovered!
Sleep was also better last night – I got 7 hours and only woke up once. When smoking weed, I seemed to wake up a lot more during the night. Sometimes I would even awake, smoke a roach, then head straight back to bed. It appears that marijuana makes sleep come easy, but the quality of sleep is worse than a sober sleep would be. Anyone find the same thing happening to them.
Bucking Faked requested the ability to blog on their progress. I will be configuring and opening a Marijuana Addiction Support Forum this weekend. I don’t know if it will be on this site, or on another domain…I still need to work out the logistics.

Hi everyone,
My partner and I have smoked together almost DAILY for the past 5 years. It got to a point where we would take it with us everywhere we went with the exception of work. We were addicted. So many reasons why we stopped but we are now on day 84 and things are much different. This is the longest we have gone without it and are now trying to live life without it. It is hard, don’t let anyone fool you- let’s not forget that marijuana is not the same as it used to be- its more potent and everyone smokes different stuff. You really have to WANT to quit and have valid reasons why to quit and stick to it. So far, I am having problems “finding myself” again. I really have no friends and very limited family, but I do have 3 cats- who are great companions. Keep yourself busy for sure! That is the honest to God truth- be true to yourself and you might surprise yourself! Now, I just need to find things I used to enjoy prior to weed taking over my life 5 years ago. I am done with it. It was a point in time and the negatives really do outweigh the positive euphoria, which that was even gone after awhile…
