Hi all, going through some heavy depression still and feeling a lot of fear and hopelessness.
Im currently 13 months clean from Cannabis and Alcohol (wasn't a big drinker)
I still smoke about 10 rollups a day and is my only crutch but trying to quit that too but feel i need to be in a better, stronger place to do that.

Im now starting to wonder if 20 years of Cannabis use has really done a number on me and fearing i may actually never get better.

The depression gets so heavy sometimes i can't stop feeling the suicidal way out of this mess.

I really need to hear from those who have recovered from Cannabis PAWS and that I can recover too as im losing hope and strength.
Im even on a high strength antidepressant which use to work amazing but don't seem to do much now which is scary as they're brutal to come off too.
I know i have to be strong but this is so hard some days and struggle to see light at the end of the tunnel if there is any at all.

To everyone going through Cannabis paws i feel for you and wish you success in getting happy and healthy again.

I do remember seeing a post about someone whose PAWS finally went away at 30 months. I don’t remember the username, though. I believe he posted threads about his recovery process. If I can find them I will let you know the username so you can look them up. His posts really helped me. I have also read quite a few people say that it takes two years to heal from PAWS. Actually, I have read about the two-year timeline many times. I am at 8 1/2 months now and have been having absolutely horrific constant anxiety mixed with panic attacks for the last four days. Today is day five of trembling with anxiety. So, I think I also still have a long way to go, although I have had definite improvements. Have you had any improvements that you could focus on? Sometimes it helps me to focus on how much I have improved, maybe that would help you. I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time, but I really do believe we all will heal as long as we don’t use.

Please have a look at the thread near the top of the front page titled “3 months after last cannabis use.” The username Brokethehabit has some very good posts in that thread. I just saw that thread right after I replied to you. He has some very good information in there. Hope this helps.

Just found it but I can’t figure out how to link it. Very sorry- I’m brand new to forums and not good with the technology. The username is “thegreatdane “ and his post is called “paws ended at month 30.” I hope his posts will help you as much as they helped me.

@PowerOfMyMind
I am sorry to hear that you’re struggling with PAWS. Just like you I smoked weed for a little longer than 20 years. Month 13 was a decisive point in my recovery. I had one final big wave then and following that all symptoms diminished to either minimal or non-existent. Now I’m just over 24 months clean with practically zero issues with PAWS. So don’t despair, things will improve, and no, you have done no permanent damage to your brain, relax! Hopefully you’re approaching a similar milestone too. Good luck with your journey!
