Hey Longduck! It’s been awhile. I’m 2 weeks away from 1 year sober. And things have finally started feeling better/back to normal for me. I took a big break from the site and I do think it’s helped a bit. Not having to think about paws, symptoms, anxiety for awhile helped. I do believe a lot of things/symptoms do get triggered by something. Like if I’m stressing about work then I start having SOB, headaches, dizziness etc. like the physical symptoms trigger the mental frenzy and vise versa the anxiety triggers physical symptoms. But the conclusion I’ve come up with is at the end of the day it’s all in my head. Smoking weed for an extended period of time really just f***ed up my brain and my brain is just slowly healing itself. My biggest advice is to slowly take time away from the site/reading stories/posting your story and symptoms. For me when I post about my symptoms part of me goes back to those feelings even a little bit. So by not posting about it, reading about it I’m giving myself time to forget about it. I hope that makes sense! Anyways, don’t smoke again! That will make you feel worst. Try to keep pushing through
