Nice to hear from you WWDT, paws really is a brutally gruelling experience but we all continue to fight through each day. Im glad you're improving and can 100% confirm time is the healing factor. Im at 15 months and although much better im still dealing with the morning dread and pit of my stomach ...
Hi All-Just wanted to check back in on my journey to recovery. I'm nearly at 10 months sober from Marijuana and things continue to improve, albeit slowly and not very linearly. I continue to have good days/bad days, although the bad days are more of an annoyance now then a complete train wreck. My b...
6 Month Update I just wanted to check-in with the community and provide a 6 month update. I hope you all are doing well, especially those that have checked in...Luna, PowerofMyMind, etc... I've been having better days the last few weeks, my anxiety is subsiding, my emotions/depression is stabilizing...
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...
Thanks John-I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. I'm just at 4 months post quit and the anxiety/depression and associated backpain are the only real complaints I have, but when they peak its really hard to do anything. The mornings are the worst for sure, just hoping to continue to heal an...
Hi All-Checking back in to update on how things have been going. I appreciate people checking in and providing well wishes, it really means a lot. To this day, I've noted marginal improvements overall but improvements non the less. My anxiety has improved after 3-4 weeks on 10mg of Lexapro, but I st...
Hi Luna-Happy to hear from you and glad to hear you're still doing well and recovering nicely. I had symptoms of anxiety and depression while smoking and now that I've quit, they've really began to peak. My therapist (addiction/abuse specialist) thinks that I may have been mildly depressed/anxious f...
Hi All Just wanted to check back in to see how everyone else is fairing in their fight. I'm currently at 10 weeks quit, and still having issues w/ brain fog, anxiety and depression. I've been lucky to avoid any panic attacks although had a close call when on the boardwalk w/ my family on vacation :o...
This is amazing, you've given me a re-instilment of hope! I've been struggling with severe depression/anxiety since I quit 3 months ago and my doctor and therapist keep wanting me to try an SSRI to help me through but it sounds like I just need to hang tough and beat this. God Bless and congratulati...
Forgot to mention-if you haven’t, lay-off alcohol and caffeine too. My tolerance is very low for either, I had two beers with my brother when he came to visit after a couple of weeks and felt depressed, especially the next day. Caffeine seems to pick me up but then makes my anxiety worse. Again-I’d ...
