you people are weird. Any idiot can stop smoking pot, it’s not addictive at all. You just stop smoking it, that’s all. I smoked every day for 10 years. I still ate right, lots of fruits and veggies, grains, beans, nuts, seeds, vitamins, herbs, carrot celery juice, little fowl and fish, maybe a burger once a month. Never ate junk food. Slept well. Decided to quit for one year, so I just stopped buying it. No prob. I’ll start again in 2011.

I’ve been smoking pot 4-5 times a day for the last 4 years to treat Crohn’s Disease. I’ve recently quit, and am on day 2. When I was younger I was a recreational user, and I quit smoking marijuana for almost 7 years, so I know what to expect. Anxiety, loss of appetite, constant short lived mood swings, and the feeling that time is moving very slowly from one day to the next. I’m finding that the best thing is a balance between exercise and video games. Anxiety causes excess energy to build up, and it’s good to burn some of it off. I’ve just been going for walks, but it makes a big difference, and a good game can really take your mind off of how completely shitty you feel. So far no insomnia, so at least things could be worse.

I don’t even know if the writer of this will even see this post, but is there a typical time frame for the appetite loss? I’m pretty sure it’s the only one you didn’t mention, and it’s the one I’m most worried about.

Hey Everyone,
Just found this site today and it has been helpful. Thanks admin! I am/was a 20yr everyday pot smoker. Plus a pack a day of cigs. Well, I’ve got 8 days under my belt today and it has been quite hard. I feel like I keep going now because I’ve come this far, and to screw it up and have to start over again would suck. It’s so strange quitting cigs and pot at the same time. Sometimes I crave the cigs and sometimes I crave the weed. Too very different cravings. I’ve had some sleep issues but mine are in the morning. I wake up a lot earlier than I used to. My alarm doesn’t even go off yet and I’m awake. This is something that never happened to me when I was “on the pot”. Am I a morning person now? I find I’m in a great mood in the mornings now. Then as the day wares on I get more and more distressed and pissy. The hardest part for me is when I get home from work. I used to come home and “fire up” then workout. Though I have continued to workout to try to keep my mind occupied. I know I’ve had some strange dreams lately but, I can’t really remember them much past my eating breakfast. I find that I am eating much more than I used to but only at night. During the day I’m not overeating at all. I’m guessing that is because whenever I feel like smoking (at least at night) I fill the craving with food. I’ve been doing pretty good with the cigs though. Not many craving there anymore. The weed cravings seem to be intensifying though. I probably should throw the rest of my weed away but just can’t bring myself to do so. I have about a Z left just sitting there. Can’t even bring myself to look at it cause if I do I feel like I’ll just go ahead and have a couple puffs. I think I’ll just let it sit where it is for now. Oh, the whole reason for me quitting was that I got bronchitis and kept getting it like 3 or 4 times a year. I am so tired of coughing and coughing. I’m starting to get better now after this most resent bout of it. I’m a little worried also that when I do fully recover from it that I will want to smoke again. It’s kinda easier to quit when you can’t breathe anyway. I’m really hoping that this gets eaisier soon.
