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.

Drinking, Women and Smoking Weed.

I went out tonight, around 9:00 to a local pub to have a couple pints, well this girl tells me her friend digs me, then her friend and I chat for a while. They both leave after getting my number and calling my phone. I headed home around 1:00 am, and I turned on my oven to hot knife the last of my pot (the 2 roaches). I was about to stick the knives in the oven, when I hear a knock on the door. So I answer it, and its a guy telling me the third floor is on fire (no joke). We head up to check it out, and its the apartment of a girl I had met a couple weeks ago. I knock on the door and she answers, she says she has burned some steak, because she fell asleep as it was cooking. We talked and then hooked up for a bit, but I didn’t want to stay because of the weed that I had to smoke and the oven element I had left on! On the back of my mind was the thought that I wasn’t stoned and could be. Just goes to show how my marijuana addiction interferes with my daily operations.

So I went home and smoked the two roaches. I also found a tiny piece in the microwave on top of my old container.

I hear another knock on the door.  But this time I am stoned and paranoid, I creep up and its the girl from upstairs, I had left my glasses.  She could smell the pot on me and didn’t look impressed.  Weed has has been a problem in many of my relationships.   All too often, I have chosen the comfort of mary jane rather than a real woman.

Looks like quit day is tomorrow. I still believe I am on the right track…Just getting rid of the last of it. Regardless, tonight was fun.
