I have been working away at getting my backlog of “to be done while not stoned” activities. I will be filing my income tax for the first time in a couple of years 
– should be interesting to see if I get a refund, or if I owe money.
The hard part of having quit marijuana is starting to take hold. Today is an example of a day where I feel like I have accomplished a whole lot, and a reasonable reward would be to have a puff at the end of the night. This *would* be reasonable if I could limit what I smoked, but if I bought a bag, I would smoke through it without control until it was gone.
So I guess the 2 week mark is where the cravings have started to kick in. I have lost steam at around this time period in previous attempts. I have to keep myself busy and my mind focused. It’s helpful to remind myself that I am addicted to marijuana, and can’t control my consumption like most other people. Just because I haven’t had any in two weeks, doesn’t mean I am cured. There is still a long way to go!
Hell Ya. Day 14 and going strong although I did go out to the pub last night and have about 5 beers. I haven’ t done that in a long time, and woke up feeling a little hungover this morning. I think i am a little allergic to beer – I get congested in the morning after drinking more than 2 beer. Normally I don’ t learn my lesson, but I think that I need to put in a 2 beer maximum rule into effect. This will help me save a lot of money to boot.
I have saved about $150 bucks because I quit smoking weed. It feels really good to write that statement. I just wish I could get back the $25,000 I spent over the years. Ugg!
My sleep habits are still way off – I wish I could nap at work during the day.
I seem to have a lot of time on my hands this weekend, because I haven’t been smoking….My new hobby is gorging myself on food. 
I am so full right now that I think I could pass out and hibernate until the middle of April.
Pretty much all I did this weekend was stay at home and work on the site. The forums are functioning properly – so come on in and check them out! Everyone is welcome to create their own journal in the Members Area.
I’m going to be working hard to make this forum a success. If you have any questions, please contact me on the forum or @ admin@marijuan-addict.com.
Hello Everyone!
I am pleased to announce that the Marijuana Support Forum is up and running.
To register as a user on the forums, please visit the Registration Page. Your password will work on both the blog and forums. Existing blog users can login to the forum using their regular blog passwords. Please note: You may receive two confirmation emails. I am working on a fix for this today.
There are 3 forum topics thus far. Marijuana Addiction, Research and News, and Member Journals. The Member Journals area is your place to share your story about quitting marijuana!
I will be making changes over the next couple of weeks to the themes and control panels. Please bear with me during this time.

Hello Everyone,
As stated in my previous posts, I will be starting a Marijuana Addiction Support forum on this site. I have been playing with different pieces of Forum software for a few hours and am almost ready to roll on out for The Marijuana-Addict website. I am trying to get the Blog and Forum to talk to each other so that you only need to login once. Once I have that completed, I will open the forums up for everyone to use.
Hello,
This week has been successful! Things are going well. I will have to keep myself this weekend to avoid temptation. I have had a few beers tonight, and didn’t enjoy it that much. I will be setting up the marijuana addiction forum this weekend, and hope have it running by Sunday afternoon.
Till tomorrow.
Another busy and productive day today, with a good sleep last night. Last night was the first night that I had vivid dreams after quitting marijuana. The majority of the weed addicts that I know don’t recall their dreams, or have fewer dreams than non smokers. I have heard that it is pretty common to have ‘end of the world’ nightmares when quitting weed. In my previous attempts to quit, I have had some crazy nightmares.
This dream was definitely strange – and I got stoned in my dream…This doesn’t count as relapse right . The Dream: So I was outside on the main drag of a town with my colleagues, and a bunch of them were up ahead in a circle. One woman came up to me and said something along the lines of “I smoke, but don’t tell anyone”, and joined the circle. I followed behind her, and next thing I new, I was passed a joint. This was the end of the dream as I remember it. Shitty description, but dreams are hard to describe.
One of the reasons that I wanted to quit is because I didn’t want colleagues to find out about my marijuana habit. I am sure some of them know and don’t say anything to me. Weed made me paranoid so I always wondered if they DID know.
‘Til Tomorrow – which will be double digits sober! Wooohooo!
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.

Hey everyone,
Just a quick update – I am going to sleep like a baby tonight. I only got another 5 hours last night. I am seriously wiped out and looking forward to nodding off immediately after I post this. I have been through this kind of weed withdrawal insomnia before, so I was prepared for it.
The anxiety is still there, but the worst of it was Saturday. I was not prepared for it, and am hoping the worst of it is over. I am going to meditate and stretch before bed to release some of the tension. The marijuana recovery process is stressful!
I will be writing another series of 4 or 5 articles that I will publish before the end of April. Any topic requests?
When I woke up today, I felt great. After quitting marijuana for 6 days, my morning energy and mindset is improving. My mind is much clearer than a week ago! I used to smoke weed primarily at night, and it is almost a guarantee that I would fall asleep stoned or burnt out…..That seems to carry over into a mediocre sleep and a tough wakeup in the morning. My marijuana hangovers rob me of energy and a positive attitude in the morning. Sometimes my eyes looked stony, even if it had been hours.
When I take in a full breath, the top of my lungs hurt a little bit, I don’t know if that is from quitting pot, being more aware of my body, or from the exercise I have been doing in the past couple of days. Maybe they are being cleaned out.
Starting a couple of days ago, I was experiencing significant anxiety and nervousness…This hasn’t happened to me before when trying to end my marijuana addiction. I have had a very stressed out 2 weeks, so I think the marijuana withdrawal played a small role in this overall mental state.
I haven’t had any major cravings yet. In my case, those don’t start for a little while. I have stayed away from the pubs and thus the party. It is a lot easier to quit when you aren’t surrounded by it.
