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.
Days Sober - 6
Posted by admin on December 7, 2007
Thanks to all of you who have been posting comments to update me with their progress or keep me on track. Today was a great day, being that it is Friday and I have the weekend in front of me. My entire goal of Friday night is preparing for the weekend and not smoking weed at all. The weekends are usually when I smoke a tonne of weed so it will take a lot of will power and distraction to keep sober over the next 2 days. I also need to make sure I don’t substitute with alcohol - I really don’t want to trade marijuana addiction for alcoholism!
I have some withdrawal mood swings over the last 3 or 4 days. Not exactly depressed, but angry and cynical. I remember a quote “Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm”, so I am getting somewhere :) I am feeling good at the moment and looking forward to accomplishing a lot this weekend.
But hey, 1 day at a time. I have been researching new hobbies and will be putting some time into the website this weekend. I think I am going to wait a little longer before I do a major overhaul on the layout, categories, and navigation.

Hey Folks,
Well, I had a little to smoke again today. I keep finding it and not saying “No”. In the grand scheme of things, this is still improvement. This weekend is going to be very tough because I usually wake and bake, then get stoned all day. I know I need to stop smoking weed, so I will be working hard toward this goal on the weekend - day by day.
Friday’s post will be much more detailed.
Good Night.

Today was a pretty crappy day…I caved again and smoked….Because I repeated the pattern of going out to a pub. I did see some great live music, and meet a potentially awesome business connection, so it hasn’t all been bad….but damn, time to reset that counter back to 0.
