My journal in quitting weed after 20 years

Postby Definitequiter » Sun Feb 13, 2022 12:42 pm

So here goes i have smoked non stop from the age of 15years old to 35years old roughly a gram a day without a single days abstinence. Now the time has come to quit. Reasons for quitting include anxiety ,1 previous panic attack and frequent issues with heart palpitations even more so recently. Always smoked bud with cigaretes and with the recent health scare i have had with high heart rates has totaly put me off wanting to continue with getting stoned. so i decided as of feb 1st 2022 im quiting cold turkey. I am currently day 12 sober from smoking and boy is it tuff ! I hope to reguarly update my progress here in the hope of gaining support while helping others. I have decided to ditch caffiene, cigaretes, thc and any forms of smoking what so ever.

Day 1-7 was no more than sweaty hands
Cravings and irritable behaviour. I took my mood swings out on my family and i thought things were tuff little did i know this was the easy part.
Day 7-12 was the hard part. Insomnia really bad smelling gas accompanied with diahreha and sore painfull stomach beetween day 8-12. I also experienced de personalisation for 20mins this morning which was horrible and hard to deal with. I no longer crave smoking or ever returning to thc because the pain and discomfort im experiencing quitting has out weighed the enjoyment of getting high by a very long shot. Only one way to go now and thats weed free but i pray my body can start to cope better with the withdrawls as its currently torture. Massive respect to anyone who has experienced this please feel frew to chip in on this thread.

Pretty much the same length of time. Similar symptoms to myself. Insomnia and lack of appetite is what gets me as it sets the next day up to be tough.
Push through one day at a time and get to bed early.

Yes I agree with your outlook of taking each day at a time. I have found myself enjoying plain foods so crisps, soup white toast etc had really kept me going although weighed myself this morning and I've clearly lost half a stone over the course of a week. Guess with regards to insomnia trying to exercise and have relaxing baths before bed can help to an extent. Wish you the very best in managing a good sleep tonight !
