Marijuana Withdrawal

[turtledurtle]

just wondering if anybody has any tips to relieve the uncomfort of suddenly stopping toking
i have smoked steady everyday for quite a few years and now have to abstain for awhile
its been 5 days now, and it really sucks.
been really irritable and tired all the time
been having some crazy ass dreams also
i will be so happy when this is over and i can puff again
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
its so messed up that i have to stop taking my meds, it really feels cruel and unusual to me

Just gotta stick it out bro, I get that too. I hate to use one crutch to get off another, but a .5 xanax works wonders.

hopefully this is the turning point

stay busy!! anything time you would normally reservce for blazing, find something to do instead... anything. if you own a house clean! do some yard work. if you live with parents, offer to help more. and using one crutch to support another is about the dumbest thing ive heard. thats no self discipline.

Dont play golf coming off reefer
its day 6 and i just got back from my regular saturday money game
it almost turned into a royal rumble out there
my attitude is shit, my game has turned to shit
now im embarrassed

I always get stoned whenever I get irritated. But that's just me.

OK. That didn't help.

The temper flareups/lack of patience is gonna last about a month, especially if you were a sedentary smoker/big dude.

THC suppresses/reduces the production of testosterone. You're gonna get acne, wanna fight men, and screw any woman that smiles pretty at you for the next month or so, until your body adjusts.

yeah man im gonna screw the next door neighbor tonight
shes been after me for over a year now
before i just wanted to puff and not be bothered

absolutely, it can. I've missed a few great opportunities myself from being too stoned. lol.

Make the first move with a clear head, THEN celebrate.

day 7
i nailed the neighbor
well, nailed may be a bit extreme
it was more like a couple thrusts then an uncomfortable feeling of inadequacy
she convinced me to snort a few lines of adderall to relax
not my cup of tea
stayed up till 5am and woke 4 hours later with a ripper of a head ache
been stuck in this quazi state of exhaustion all day
clearly another bad decision
strangely though, it makes me feel a little better being able to write about this

how long u gotta stay sober

 

[vradd]

only the weak minded have no self control. i know it sucks to not smoke dude but really your not helping yourself. just tell us how bad it sucks to not smoke butdont act on it. you'll thank yourself later on when your finally able to smoke again and look back and are proud that you were able to have self control for these xx amount of days.

1st symptom of weed withdrawel... you want more weed. hahah

lol doesn't look like quitting weed did you much good, shitty lay with your neighbor + adderall......lmfao


on the upside your tolerance is probably 10x lower to cannabis so have fun next time you blaze

Yeah that will be nice


the last time I tried to abstain for a day I had a mental breakdown... i actually wasn't in the 'mood' to smoke


shits my medication

I just don't go off it anymore

Even just a hit, not enough to get high, calms my screaming subconscious

Drink a ton of water and work out - this does it for me every time. Cuts down the withdrawal length by at least half if not more depending on how much you push yourself.

there are ways to calm your conscious mind without weed. I strongly recommend you get into meditation on deep levels to help maintain an inner zen.

I know someone exactly like you, and I used to be like that aswell. its not fun, and it's not like it's impossible for you to maintain stability without it, you've just got yourself into a rut and now you haven't tried getting out, the longer you wait the harder it'll be.

I just think it's better to be able to enjoy cannabis if its not something you can't change. something like this is all a matter of will power, but the right power and will in the right direction....

in the end it's all up to you, every day you choose to blaze instead of break through the shitstorm of a bad mood and break through into zen you're prepretuating this cycle.

as someone who gives the slightest shit, I thought it was important you hear this.

ive had to quit on several occasions, the best method for me is to stay extra busy alll day and evening, and be so tired that 5 min in bed and im out. when you dont sit there and think, "damn id like to be high right now" because your out doing something, its alot easier

i know some people take drinabinol (is that right?) as a substitute for weed, i think it might only be by prescription though
