Hope This Helps

So here we go

I use to post on this forum a while ago but left. So I thought I'd share this to help others going through what I went through.

About 1.5 years ago after 4 years of heavy smoking I quit weed cold turkey.

The effects of quitting was quite intense to put it lightly. I had serious issues with all the regular things like DP/DR, extreme anxiety, depression, overwhelming thoughts of the "what ifs" thought I developed Schizophrenia, I was afraid of being alone because I thought I'd kill myself and I might have done at that time. The whole thing was just so intense.

First 3 months was the absolute worst. Up to 6 months came in waves still hard. Up to a year became manageable and a bit easier. 1.5 years now and it comes in drips but over almost immediately.

During the whole drama of PAWS I tried so hard to get past it and at certain points I was giving up.

I pushed through it all with help from friends, Family and religion.

A year and a half later I feel like it's all behind me now.

We all have the same story of what we go through when quitting weed with the PAWS and everyone's timeline is different.

But it does end, no longer have the issues I faced when I started. No do/dr or extreme anxiety, no longer think I have schizophrenia, it's all in my past now like a bad dream.

You just have to keep pushing through and make healthy choices in your life to help ease it (diet, exercise etc)

If you're going through this pain on PAWS, keep strong it does end one day.

Good luck to you all I know you can do it
