I'm now 4 months clean.

My benefit of being off weed is sanity - I was insane whenever I was high. In fact, it exacerbated schizophrenia for me. You'd think I would stop after my diagnosis, but I never could for the longest time.

It's nice to be sane for 4 months now.

DAY 0 Hello, Since cannabis stores have opened in my hometown, I've found it very difficult to resist. They have things like pre-rolled joints and THC capsules and oils. I'm slowly losing my sanity and I have had bad repercussions at work. I need to get back on the wagon and off the weed. I will be ...

Hi, As someone who has cut back smoking weed considerably, I question whether I can be considered an addict and be posting in this forum. However, I still struggle with cutting it out of my life completely. Right now I am smoking about once a month. I just smoked 2 days ago after 26 days without. Ev...

Thanks Anxious_mary for the reply and encouragement... Day 30 Made it back to a month today. I feel good about this. Like I could go forever without weed. I know, I know: take one day at a time. Had an appointment with my shrink the other day. He was impressed by my accomplishments and agreed to red...

Day 23 Making progress. My biggest hurdle for recovery in the past has been cravings. Thanks to an assortment of supplements and vitamins I’ve been taking, the cravings have been almost non-existent. It has also helped to keep my days planned and busy. Being alone and off from work is a trigger for ...

Day 10 Unfortunately, I smoked on day 41 of my last stretch, but I am now back on track and feeling confident that I can beat this thing. I hear it takes multiple attempts for some people which is the case for me. In fact, it’s been hundreds of attempts. I always lose my focus and conviction after a...

Day 30 Made it to 30 days for the first time in a long time. I feel free. I’m convinced that taking Omega 3-6-9 and Lecithin are making a difference. They have made the process so smooth and easy so far. I had one day where I almost slipped a couple weeks ago, but other than that I’ve been doing rea...

Thanks for the reply, Freedomhfx. I’m currently on Day 12. I’ve found a trick to keep my recovery easy-going and smooth: Omega 3-6-9 and Lecithin. I started taking Omega (2 1200 mg capsules 3 times a day) and find that it has made a real difference in my level of cravings and has almost ceased the d...

Day 5 Things are going well; better than before anyway. Over the past couple days I’ve been feeling uneasy, an underlying discomfort and anxiety about life in general. Today, however, after working a long shift at work, it has lifted a bit and I feel more hope in my recovery. The key, for me, is wor...

Day 2 I’ve had a rough couple of weeks in terms of abstinence. I’m at the end of my rope, feeling like I’m powerless over my addiction. My mind is split in two (my “schizophrenia diagnosis” may play a role in this): one that desperately wants to end my nearly 18 year affair with weed; the other want...

Reynolds and Ed, Thanks so much for your replies. I can see how much we all have in common and this makes me feel less alone. Day 6 For the last two days, I have gone to gym and did an hour on the elliptical and arc trainer. This I need and this helps so much. Not only do I sweat out the lingering t...

Asgoodasitgets, I can identify with you as far as Valentine’s Day goes. My relationships in life have been few and far between and perhaps weed has been a replacement “Girlfriend” for me. I’m an introvert and have been alone most of my life. Fortunately, I’ve got a supportive family or I’d have no o...

Asgoodasitgets and Ed, Thanks for your replies and encouragement. It’s what I need and it helps so much to hear your stories and advice. Day 3 Struggling with the aftereffects of smoking 3 days ago: total sloth and lethargy. I came home from class in the morning and slept for an additional 3.5 hours...

Hi EdiBee, Thanks for replying all these many months after the original post. I identify with a lot of what you wrote. Yes, I did not continue with this journal. I have struggled still to this day. In fact I just lapsed and am back on day 1. Maybe your reply is a sign to turn my life around for good...
