No wake and bake this morning. I've got no appetite and didn't sleep for shit. After research on the net, which I have to take with a grain of salt, I figured out that those are the results of weed "withdrawals". Ahh hell. I got this but anyone who wants to send some good vibes my way, I'll take them. Have a good day y'all.

Yea weed can do that, but it won't last for more than a handful of days. You'll be fine, just gotta keep doin' things and have a little patience.

Day 4. I'm ready to strangle stupid people. My sugar cravings have been amplified exponentially. Has anyone else experienced this after quitting? I can't sleep for shit either. Tossing and turning all night is a bitch.

Those are common symptoms of "withdrawal". If you're able you should try taking some CBD. It'll help lessen all of them and make quitting that much easier. Then once you've put some time between you and smoking, stop the CBD. Or don't because it gives you the health benefits of weed without the "high". I've been taking it daily, as if it were a vitamin, for a a little over 2 months now and it's very nice.

The other day my new boss literally told me he bonds better with people when he smokes with them. I couldn't say no. I told him that it was the only time I'm going to. I felt like shit for doing that. I felt dirty after and went for a real long run. Damn I was baked.
I am disappointed in myself but I'm not craving it or thinking about buying more. Back to day 2 but I'm not having those "withdrawal" feelings. I've read from some that they felt irritable for at least a month after. My sleeping is a lot better as well. Now I'm trying to quit alcohol. I'm ready to be healthy again. I'm feeling very optimistic. I hope everyone has a good day.

Isn't it fascinating the "logic" that encourages the intoxication of self and others.
I know the insanity well. I've jumped on this warped train of thought many times before.
"I feel closer to you when I'm stoned" . . . "I have more fun when I'm high."

I can understand honestly. When I am baked, I do feel very honest and relaxed. I'm not going to say it is the real me when I'm high, but I really do understand where he is coming from. I've known a lot of dealers who won't sell to people until they sit down and smoke with them first. To each their own I guess.

When I really quit weed the first time it was hard. Every time I quit since then is easy and I barely think about it.

I really just want to be over this process. I crave it mayne. I can't understand how a plant can be so powerful in my mind. No excuses or whining, just a statement I assure you. I'm making it happen, just not easily/happily.

Channel that craving you have into physical exercise and the craving will go away. Your body wants to get those brain chemicals going again, and it's waiting for weed, since it's used to it. Give your brain what it wants by exercising and gettin' the chemicals flowin' without a drug to induce.

I definitely have been. I smoked heavily for a while and it's like every other day is a bitch with a vengeance.

The object of desire is not necessarily "powerful" (gambling, porn, shopping, ice-cream, pot, etc.)
Repeated behaviors rewire the brain. It takes a period of abstinence to reprogram the circuitry.
Remember, desire is just a thought. The more you resist the thoughts, the stronger they get.
Try giving a name to the voice in your head, maybe Stoner Sammy...
Stoner Sammy, who frequently asks (sometimes begs) you to get high.
Have fun with it. They are just thoughts. Don't take them seriously.

It's definitely gotten better. Remembering my dreams is very unusual. It really doesn't bother me that my woman still smokes I don't even care anymore. I enjoy the smell but I'm not dying for a hit. I think I'm still going through some of the irritability but it's much more manageable. Is this what patience is haha? I'm feeling more motivated and it's great it's only going to get better.

I like that approach! I know I'm going to have to give up smoking soon and I have other... uh.. addictions to handle at the moment, so I'll try that method of giving the voice a name. Hell it might even work for reinforcing other good behaviors.
Wilson likes to exercise. He's strong. I will listen to Wilson, not lazy, self-indulgent Wiiiilson.

So I don't know if this has to do with quitting but I've been doing a lot better but yesterday I got set the fuck off. It's like I quit all over again. I got super tired, could barely eat and was not clear headed. The day before I was fine. Can the "withdrawals" fluctuate day by day? I smoked pretty good for years and I've heard that the "withdraws" can last as long as a month. My dreaming is back full force though. Craziness. Three days in a row of remembering dreams.

So I decided to abstain from marijuana for a while. I get seasonal depression during the winter months, and my physician asked me to try a "master reset" on my system before winter hits. No pot, no alcohol, no caffiene, no nicotine. Eat a super clean diet. Kinda makes sense as I am sensitive to chemicals it turns out. Coffee and cigarettes keep me up super late, and makes me sleep like shit. So does booze. Pot makes me cloudy and makes it really hard to get out of bed. Shitty sleep and a flurry of chemicals running through my veins 24/7 is a recipe for imbalances in the brain (at least for me). It kind of affects me year-round, but I get hit really hard come the end of December.
After 3 - 4 months, I can smoke a bowl, or have a couple of beers, or enjoy a cup of coffee. As long as it's not a daily thing. Oh, getting older sucks ass.
Oh well, I'm ready for a change. A new chapter. I entitle this one...the more sober years.

Sounds like a great choice. I love that term "master reset." I am going to use it if that's cool.
My brother just got sent to rehab for the first time. I am thinking of stopping all my drug use for a while for when he gets out because I want to show him the path he needs to be on.
