1,5 years and relapse

Postby paylxsav » Sat Sep 18, 2021 12:44 am

Hey guys, first of all THANKS everyone for sharing your stories in here it helped me a lot on my worst days. So, I started smoking weed when I was 18 yo, smoked HEAVILY and really high thc hash for 2 long years. When I tell you heavy smoke, I was smoking +10 fat joints a day everyday. In April 2020 I finally felt that this addiction was taking control of my life and decided to quit. The first 3-4 months were BRUTAL, u can name every withdrawal symptom, I had it. I discovered this forum on the 2nd month, and honestly it was almost life saving. The months kept passing by and the symptoms were vanishing really slow. I will do a timeline

1-3 Months: Every single symptom I had it, physically and psicollogicaly.
4-8months: I had hard anxiety and depression, brain fog. And some more which I can’t remember the name right now lol.
8-12: all of the symptoms above but less frequently, I could live my life and do the things, even tho I still had bad days.
1 year- 1 year and 4 months: I’m finally 95% good, I took control of my life and my emotions, and I’m way more grateful to live and enjoy little things.

So today, I didn’t know, but my brother in law, told to me to smoke a cigar with him, and since I smoke cigars I accepted. Little I know that he removed all of tobacco and put weed in there. I took 3 puffs, noticed the smell and instantly stoped, because I don’t want to get involved with weed again and I dont feel the urge.
My problem now is that, if It triggered paws again and if I’m going to go trough paws. I know the majority of the cases, people get paws because they abused drugs for several months / years. But I’m a little afraid now, I was so proud of what I achieved and went through, and I don’t know if this retarded my paws process and I need to do it all over again. Part of me says, paws is when people abuse, in this case, weed and the brain/body needs to readjust so I don’t have to go trough it again because I only took 2-3 puffs. But the other part of me, is a bit scared because I was almost at a year a half and I relapsed when it wasn’t my fault.

Sorry, English isn’t my main language.

If you need help or have any question don’t hesitate,

Ok, now that I’m more relaxed and not so nervous. I can say that I’m sure this won’t affect my streak since I only took 2 small puffs( didn’t even feel high) and I’m not addicted anymore. So my path is still going on and my objective is to reach 2 years. Anyways if you have any questions or need some help I’m right here

Don’t worry about it, some of my friends smoked a few times and still feel on the same journey of PAWS afterwards. Your brother is a real douchebag though.

I've also heard of someone do this and it not affecting their PAWS journey. I think if you did something like this early on it would have had a greater impact than doing it at 16 months when you are 95% cured. Thank you for sharing your story though, I'm at a year now and relate to your timeline completely. I really hope I have a similar 1 year - 1year and 4 months!
