It goes away. The first week without pot is definitely rough if you've been a daily smoker for a while.. I always get this depressed "What have I been doing with myself?" feeling when I quit.. but then that fades and I learn to enjoy life sober. :heart:

I've gone through this process about 4 times. :tongue:




I'm right with you guys.

I'm on day 11, I think. Honestly, I feel so much better about myself when it comes to self-esteem... 11 days sounds so pathetic in numbers, but it feels so signifigant to me.  :heart:

I'm on day 14. It all started for a drug test, and that was on day 11. Now they've called me out and I have to re-take it tomorrow for diluting myself, but then it's back to being a pothead for a weekend.


Taking a drug-test on St. Patrick's Day... :nonono:


Jacques, I'm glad you're starting to feel a bit better. Keep on' strong with that job search.

4 1/2 days. It feels like it's been...like... 40 and 1/2. I keep thinking, "is it time to get high yet?"

Nope.

Well I also think that an addiction tends to be a pretty depressing thing to go through. I don't know cuz I have no experience, but I can imagine that if I was addicted to pot, i.e. I felt like shit if I couldn't get any, than I'd get pretty derpressed about my life.

LOL,

I don't feel bad about smoking pot at all. I feel that I need to moderate a bit better (every other day instead of every day), but otherwise I hope I never quit.

Oh well, to each his own.

Wierd. I find pot to be the perfect way to relax and unwind after a stressful day.

I'm the opposite these days. It used to relax me, but after like 7 years of using it - slowly the effects reversed and it made me more anxious than anything. It would increase heart rate, cause paranoia, and pretty much amplified anything negative. The effect turned to terrifying. Nothing pleasant about it at all.
I had to give it up.. it's been a long time since I've smoked - but even after going a bunch of years without using it, it still is too intense for me to handle. I never thought that would happen because during the years that I enjoyed it, I couldn't get enough :shrug:

if i go straight from a crappy day to a bowl, i get the same thing. it just enhances the bad feelings i'm having.

but, if i meditate for 30min before i smoke, it makes all the difference in the world. and there's no better feeling for me than to turn around a bad day into a good one.

I agree, I always go into pot with a good mindset "This is going to be a lot of fun!" and I always have a good time. We control our own reality, its that simple.

I've smoked daily for a number of years and I've been depressed most of those years as well... I've had times that things were looking up for me but not really that much...

I wouldn't say that it helps the depression but it does help me to enjoy a nice day out in the woods with my friends. I've had days where I would blaze with my friends in the woods and those are days that I'll never forget!

It's more a thing for me to stop me from thinking of anything and enjoy the company and the buzz that I feel at the moment...

Watch out though with daily usage...
