Marijuana Addiction Forums Coming Soon

Posted by admin on March 29, 2008

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.

Day 11 - Finally the weekend

Posted by admin on March 28, 2008

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.

Day 9 - Marijuana Dreaming and Weed Nightmares!

Posted by admin on March 26, 2008

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!

Day 8 - Marijuana Detox and Withdrawal

Posted by admin on March 25, 2008

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.
