This is an amazing thread! I hope more people read it. Jalakee, you really touched on a lot of important topics. Like how everyone goes through paws differently and the biggest one that I’ve also noticed after 1 year sober is that our brain is/was damaged through the use of THC and it needs to heal ...

Hey Longduck! It’s been awhile. I’m 2 weeks away from 1 year sober. And things have finally started feeling better/back to normal for me. I took a big break from the site and I do think it’s helped a bit. Not having to think about paws, symptoms, anxiety for awhile helped. I do believe a lot of thin...

I’m 2 weeks shy of 1 year sober and I’ve also experienced waves throughout my recovery process. I thought I was crazy for awhile and would actually make a note on my calendar when each wave would start and end. They lasted anywhere from 2-4 weeks. In the beginning I was only going 1-2 weeks in betwe...

Hey Wewilldothis! Just checking in to see how you’re doing? I’m a few days shy of 7 months sober and feeling indifferent about the situation. I’m thankful I’m able to function and go weeks without a symptom/anxiety attack but also frustrated anytime I feel the slightest anxiety. This entire process ...

I’ve been 6.5 months sober and here are my symptoms: for some context I smoked on and off for 6+ years. Every day for the last 2 years. Smoked high potency weed, DAB and edibles. 1-2 months: Major anxiety, depression. I just wanted to sleep all day. I didn’t know how to feel happy anymore. I just fe...

Hey! So sorry to hear about the anxiety even with the medication. I’m sure you will feel some relief soon. Please keep us updating on your journey. Just take everything day by day.

Hi! Glad to hear from you. Also glad to hear you’re having some good days. No experience with the specific meditation but my doctor did prescribe a really low dose anxiety pill which I took a total of 5 times. It didn’t do much for me expect help with nausea. If you feel like you suffer from anxiety...

Hi there! Congrats on 4.5 months! I’m currently going on 3.5 and have similar symptoms. I think once the physical symptom subside it’s truly a mental game. I struggle just getting out of the house. Thankfully I work from home right now but I have to go back into the office in the next few months whi...

Hey there! Congrats on making it this far. Similar to you I was using it to help with stress. I was smoking every day after work to relax. After quitting my worst symptom has been anxiety. I’ve always had some form of anxiety but always very manageable. Now I get these waves of just doom, that turns...

Sorry I meant congrats on 73 days and I’m 72 days sober. Hahaha Just keep pushing through. I know it’s hard when you’re in it but know it will end and things will be manageable and eventually you’ll get to a point where paws doesn’t even happen to you anymore. No way! What are the coincidence??! I t...

Congrats on 72 days! I’m going on 73 days. Smoked on and off for 10+ years. Smoked every day almost all day for 2 years straight prior to quitting. From what I’ve read PAWS comes in waves once you hit the turning point. Sometimes it might last a single minute/panic attack or days. But what I hope an...

That’s so crazy you mentioned healthy anxiety because I’m in the same boat! I gained a ton of weight when I started smoking and was considered overweight at one point. I honestly enjoyed eating high. Everything taste soo goood! A few months before I quit cold turkey I was really feeling it physicall...

I’m going on day 65 and have had very similar symptom. Headaches, straight up anxiety attacks/panic attacks. I also can’t leave the house due to the fear of passing out or having something wrong happen in public. I couldn’t even go to the grocery store for a few weeks. I’ve had on and off nausea, li...

Hey! Congrats on 3.5 months. I started experiencing jaw pain about 2 weeks ago. I have been told by my dentist that I grind my teeth, but I don’t recall doing it during the day and I’ve never woken up with a headache/ jaw pain or anything. But about 2 weeks ago my jaw was soooo achy. After a couple ...

Hi All Like many people here, I’m going through marijuana withdrawals. I’m going on 2 months sober (yay) a little background: I’ve been smoking since my teens on and off. I’ve never had a problem quitting until this go around. I started smoking consistently about 2 years ago. Before Covid I was smok...
