Thanks for the attention to my post, Richard! :) I agree that there is a chance that the same will happen again. But I am optimistic right now and have a feeling that both of us made some improvements. I surely would be annoyed if the new boss (whom I also met and seem like a great guy) would turn o...

Hi there, Thanks to everyone for the replies and comments! Quick update - we are still together and now happy. Since my post there were some very pleasant improvements in our relationship. She also changed her job to a similar one, but with a boss, whom she knows already and working only in 6 hours ...

Hey Guys! I am experiencing The Wave in recurring cycles and can't decide if I want to end the relationship or stick by it. When the bad wave comes, I see the negative qualities of my girlfriend. She didn't really find herself in terms of career, currently works in hospitality sphere. In the last ye...

Hey slick_willy! By the time I wrote my answer, I noticed that this thread is actually from 2018 and not 2019.. hopefully you in a better state right now! :) Anyway, I won't let it be lost in the void I was reading some posts from 2016 and we were in a common thread about quitting weed. We had a ver...

Hey cynthialeighton, Livetowin! Thanks so much for your advices. Just logged on two years later to make some "time-travel" and wondering... Just a quick update! I integrated your thoughts into my life and had some success! I feel quite confident most of the time, independently of other's a...

Hey everybody! The case is that I feel I my self-confidence is decreasing. Long story "short": I used to be a short (173cm), skinny guy with glasses, who was not really good with women, but at least I am pretty social and was getting along well with people. I managed to attract a cute, nic...

Hey guys! I guess many of us know the quote is that insanity is making the same thing and expecting a different result. Yet, I feel ridiculous and frustrated to act the same way so many times. I was mostly unsatisfied with my weed consumption, but also dissatisfied and have a feeling of regret 50% o...

Hey Bro! I don't think a hit would make you relapse and reset your paws time. It might take you back a bit, but not much. So don't worry, learn what triggered you to relapse and develope a strategy to handle the situation next time. About the booze, I would say stay away from it if possible. My pers...

Hey to all the quitter-colleagues out there! I have almost reached the 3 months and would like to share something. After quitting weed most of us feel quite bad and by time it is getting better. It seem a paradox, but when I am feeling shitty in the beginning period of withdrawal - it is much easier...

I am not sure what do you mean by psychosis and delusions. For me it was mostly anxiety, irritability, pessimism. But anyway, I believe you are better prepared for this turn. Unfortunately it is quiet common to relapse once or few times. Try to analyse the situation when you decided to smoke. What w...

Yes, keep it up, guys! This forum is a great support! It helps a lot to see that other people have similar experience, so at least nobody feel alone. The PAWS is really tricky - I had a quite good amount of time feeling really good that even forgot that I could suffer again. It was around 30 days......

Thanks, Pisuanakin. I have checked the videos and got some good insights from them! It reinforced my thoughts about the "dopamine-chase".. So what is your status now ? As I understood you do not take anything at the moment, but suffering from some PAWS-like symptoms ? What are your long te...

Are you a smoker ? If yes, going out to drink without smoking cigarettes will be a nightmare for you! either you will having a constant battle to fight your urges, either you will relapse and beat up yourself for it afterwards.. It's cool that you shared your thought about compensating with cigs for...

Since the hangover should be on the next day, I was expecting to have worse times on Sunday (nextday) and feel well on Monday. However, I woke up with low energy and not really in the mood to do something. I forced myself to do some breakfast and cleaning, and was walking to work on fresh air felt a...

The PAWS seems to a be a tricky thing. After some time of quitting and replapses, here is my attempt again. I am 1+ months clear. Generally feeling good, but today was in a strange mood - low energy, no optimism, "victim" feeling. I got drunk on Saturday on a birthday party, and had a good...
