Hi all. This place spontaneously popped up in my mind, and thought I'd post an update for any random strugglers who've come across my posts. I haven't smoked weed since quitting. It must be 6-7 years now? Same goes for nicotine. Caffeine addiction continued, as did depression and anxiety. Eventually...

I just want to let you know that this is extremely common with porn abuse. The good thing is, these thoughts are not a reflection of you. Your brain is trying to produce the same dopamine high it did when you first started, but due to your abuse, you've created tolerance. So now you seek more extrem...

Just realised, I was 1.8 months off when I originally posted. 2 years 6 months now!

25 months off weed here. Since quitting, there have been many things that have been brought to my attention, with the main realisation being; your problems do not stop with weed. We become so fixated on our addiction to weed, we consolidate all our problems towards it as the sole reason for their ex...

You are attracted to them. It's just that your anxiety levels are so high, that you feel that you feel that you're not. I've been through something similar (I don't suppose you've ever smoked weed before?) I advise you accept it as HOCD and not to give it any power. Acknowledge the thoughts and do n...

If the idea of being with a woman revolts you and is not something you want, then it's most certainly HOCD. If you feel that it is something you're comfortable with and to a degree, would feel natural to you. Then perhaps there's room that you are.

and i've made a miraculous difference in terms of outlook/emotional control/general output of everything in life. But I've had a little stint of bad dreams! For the past 5 nights, I've been dreaming that I'm smoking weed extremely heavily. It was like I was going through the motions of being an addi...

No I'm not 100% fine. I still have a long road ahead of me (I'm thinking 2.5 - 3 years I'll be at 100%). Just taking it a day by day. But like I said in my previous post, I have faith it'll all get better. 7 years of weed abuse, 3 years of abstinence to reach "100%" sounds like a good trad...

1 year 8 months in, feeling the same as you BVL. I have faith in what oldskoolru is saying and expect improved results in the months to come. At the moment, I'm mainly experiencing bouts of anxiety. I'm also still spaced out most of the time. I have faith it'll improve

Hi all, I've been quit for 1 year and 6 months and damn, life has improved substantially. Things really do take a turn for the better... BUT today I experienced a random strong urge to drink alcohol? I don't really drink alcohol at all. Normally on occasions only and I don't really enjoy it! But, to...

This question is perhaps more for the long term quitters to answer. I'm curious, how has your relationship with your partner changed since quitting? I've noticed my relationship has become worse and we peactically argue everyday. She hate me smoking and always encouraged me to quit... But since I ha...

lovelightandkittens --- That's exactly right. Please do not feel discouraged with those posts you mentioned. A lot of people quit weed, thinking that weed is the only wrong they have in their life. So when they go through the motions of withdrawal waiting for something to suddenly change one day, no...

The problem isn't just weed. You seem to be abusing many drugs. What do you expect when you're drinking every weekend? Doing ecstasy? The point of being weed free is to be completely (as completely free as once can be) free from ALL mind altering drugs. Your brain is trying to recover from the abuse...

Now 1 year, 1 month. It does get easier by the day. It seems once you rid yourself of one problem, you then notice a host of others. Time to change my diet now. Cutting out all processed sh**!

Hey ftorres, It all comes with time. The longer it becomes, lesser the hold weed has on you. Those thoughts of finding a way or trying to find solace in reaccepting weed in your life at a later point soon dissipate. You eventually realise how much better you're and how much your life has changed, th...
