One week sobriety trip

Not sure where else to put this, but here we go.

First off, I absolutely despise alcohol. The negative effects far outweigh the positive ones, if there are any at all. I think alcohol is the devil. I’ve seen so many lives ruined, and so much stupidity come from it. However this is a conversation for another time...

I've been smoking weed, multiple times daily, for the last 3 years. I'm a huge connesuir of marijuana. I've been privileged enough to have smoked some of the best weed out of Cali. Strawberry Cough, Grand Daddy Purp, and Master Kush are some of my favorites. I've also smoked some of the best Sour Diesel straight outa NYC, although it’s hard to come by real sour for me now a days. Sour has this really, really, skunky pungent odor that I've yet to experience in any Cali bud...really something special.

I've smoked out of everything imaginable. Vapes, bongs, pipes, bubs, papers, and all sorts of edibles from cannabis clubs to my own home cooking. However my personal favorite, my go to, is a Dutch Master Palma blunt. It isn't out of the ordinary for me to smoke 4-8 blunts a day. Now you must be saying to yourself, how do I function through out the day, that stoned? Well, I love it. I'm exactly the opposite of every stoner you've ever met. I smoke before class, before tests, before I work out, before playing basketball, before anything! My eyes never get red, I never get burnt out. Infact, I love doing anything active while I'm high. Getting stoned and sitting on your couch is a waste IMO; I guess that's the point I'm trying to convey. Weed doesn't seem to debilitate me like it does others...

Now I'm not exaggerating at all when I say I've smoked multiple times a day for the last 3 years. Even when I came down with swine flu last November I smoked my ass off. I was only bed ridden for ONE DAY. I saw a doctor who tested me for swine flu (came back positive a few days later) and left the office prescribed all sorts of cough syrup, and anti-virals. I decided to not use ANY of the medication prescribed and continued to smoke out of my vaporizer. The very next day, I was feeling almost back to normal! The weed took away all of my symptoms for that time I was sick. It kept the nausea away, the chills away, and it helped me sleep. I thought to myself, no way I had the swine flu, I was better the next day. Hell, it took 3 days for the flu test to come back positive and by then I was completely better. Maybe I'm crazy, or not, but I know that the marijuana was what helped me get better so quick.

Anyway, for the last 5 days I've been away in another state. Normally when I travel I have the hook up waiting for me. Its really never to hard to find weed, even when you think everyone is dry, some how, some way, I find weed. However this time I wasn't so lucky. With no connects, and even asking around with the locals I haven't been able to find any bud at all. So here is a little journal off what it's been like with no weed...

Day 1 was all right, until my high from the previous day started to wear off. I decided I needed to eat a lot while I still could, in case not smoking might affect my appetite. I was craving to smoke really bad before I went to sleep, but that's normal for me.

Day 2 got worse. I woke up from a terrible nights sleep. I was cranky (like every morning) and just wanted to smoke. As the day went on, I had to keep my mind busy. I ran, I swam, I went for a walk, and I went fishing. However, I still wasn't sober. I could still feel the effects of the THC in my head. I was starting to get very verbally irritable, and just in a bad mood all-together. I ate all right, but not like I normally would. I really, really wanted to smoke. I slept awful, again.

Day 3 was the worst. I woke up in a terrible mood, and with an upset stomach. I wanted to smoke, but the craving wasn't too terrible. I really just wanted a hit or two to settle my stomach. My terrible mood lasted all day, and I was very, very, verbally irritable. Anytime someone said something to me, I responded very fresh. It was a knee-jerk reaction because I was in such a bad mood. It occurred to me I was being very verbally angry, and I had to take a breath and think about what I really wanted to say, instead of just letting my mouth fly. My appetite was lower than usual, but not terrible. Again, I kept busy. I ran, I swam, I played basketball... In hopes of keeping my appetite up, and so I would sleep better at night. I still slept awful. I tossed and turned the whole night, never really fell asleep.

Day 4 there's hope in sight. All morning I was in a bad mood, but the cravings weren't strong at all. I know I can't smoke, so I try not to think about it. Still verbally abusive to others, but not too bad, cause I realized there is really no need for it. My appetite seems to be back, however I've noticed I've been eating much smaller portions. I can’t seem to gorge myself like I used too. However in an hour two I'm ready to eat again. My bad mood is going away, and it’s been getting easier and easier to not think about rolling a blunt and smoking it to my face. I keep busy again, going on walks, running, fishing, music. Couldn't sleep well at all however. Tossing and turning all night again.

Day 5 (Today) Woke up in a baaad mood. However, it went away pretty quickly. I still want to smoke, but it’s gotten pretty easy to put it out of my mind. My appetite is back to normal, and I wasn't verbally abusive. Today was my best day so far, and I've realized I can go no problem without smoking (maybe its because I have no choice).
Again running and keeping active helps a lot. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to sleep better.

Two more days to go. I want to use this week off of smoking to help me start to slow down on how often I smoke. I don't want to stop smoking at all. I love it. I've just realized there is no need to be smoking as often as I did. I should be able to at least wait till the sun goes down to toke up! Although there is nothing better than a good wake and bake:roll::mrgreen: haha

Well, this took me about an hour to get off my chest. Great way to kill time. Hopefully someone finds this useful. I really had no idea what it was going to be like to stop smoking, but it's doable. I would have much rather gone the week at home, and not on in another state where I cant do my normal daily stuff. However, it would be much harder to stop for a week at home.. when I can roll up a doobie at anytime!

Take it easy fellas, smoke a bowl for me.

i was in the same boat until yesterday been blazin at least a gram or two day for 3 years, was looking for a new job and didn't want to fake my test since i was trying to get a professional job and quit for 35 days. Shit is hard man but definitely worth it i looove blazing and love have my card but the break was good. I smoked last night for the first time in 34 days and it was INTENSE! i haven't tripped like that since like high school, almost too intense but what im tryin to say is if your on a break and can smoke at the end it will be way worth it! i feel the bud way more and am tryin to just blaze at night, stay up man!

One day at a time. Myself I went 3 years with no smoke and on the same day I quit drinking ( imported beer ) I am now sober for 10 years. Not one sip. It has not been easy, and I still have a hard time every once in awhile. I stay away from it like the plague.

Yeah , its not so bad.I regularly go dry for 4 to 6 weeks at a time and its not bothered me , i miss having a toke at my usual times but like KizPhilly says after a little while its not a big deal.Its only as big a deal as you let it be,dont dwell on it and you might even find you get a lot more done in your personal life than perhaps you might have stoned.
To combat this i bought a 400w hps/mh setup yesterday so this dry spell should be my last.

Think im finally past most of the negative effects. Still havent slept too well. I still feel a little stoned to be honest..my head doesnt feel clear. But its not a headache, or debilitating in anyway. How long does it take for the thc in your system to not effect you? Or is it that as long as its still in your system it effects you? Cause i know i sure as hell wouldnt pass a piss test.. I bet it would come back at the highest measurable level haha.

Tomorrow night Im facing a blunt of sour, to take full advantage of my low tolerance! Hahaha

That's great. There is nothing better than waking up sober in your own house.

i have to quit smoking all the time..i smoke right after i see my p/o for 3 days then i clean up for the rest of the month. it aint hard at all..all you gotta do is stay busy, and try not to get bored..one thing ive noticed when i smoke, im perfectly content with being bored, when im sober i go nuts, and i always have to be doing something. but i like sobering up, i notice a big difference in how i get things done. no procrastination!

I love this damn thread, I hate being Sober, I call it, "being High is my Sobriety", I do everything high, and the times without money, or a good connect are the times where i don't smoke, But I never loose tolerance, with all the weed i've smoked over the past 5 years. The longest i went was when I visited my uncle in Maine back in 2006 i quit for 2 and a half weeks, when i came home i thought i could quit forever.....but then my connect called and said he had some great pot, so i gave in, and I was so high i don't remember smoking anything at all, i just woke up wit a burn hole on my sheet, and a huge bag of pot next to me :-)
Talking about a tolerance Drop!
