For years, it's been a daily, all day long habit. To the point where my tolerance was so high I couldn't even get high anymore. With the exception of one puff of an oil pen to get to sleep, I'm beyond proud of myself for taking this new path. I feel more like myself, in my own skin. I'm having some withdrawal but it's not leading me back to it. Once I set my mind to it, I'm pretty stuck on it being in my past and staying there.
I've quit cigarettes and alcohol this way, for years now. I did have a gnarly relapse with hard drugs that got me to start attending NA. Positive transformation is possible. NA meetings are also helping me meet people with these goals, living clean and sober. All of my friends drink, smoke, and use. Finding people that don't is needed in my life.
Congratulations on making the decision to change your life! If you smoked a lot daily, your brain is most likely going through some chemical changes. It may take a few months for the brain and body to recalibrate, so keep that in mind. Try to eat healthy and drink lots of water. Post if you have bad withdrawals or you need help. It gets better every day. Hang in there, it is soooooo worth it!
Thanks Lisa! I'm dreaming again too, and that has been pretty wild!! I have healthy eating habits, and am focused on fitness as well. I just want to do whatever i can to change my life since my vices never had me at a fulfilling place to be.
When I finally got sober, pot was the last substance I gave up.
I am so grateful today I am over 5 years sober, but I was coughing up tar for well over a year after I quit. It takes a while for your body to detox from it. But for me it was a visible sign of the toxins I had been ingesting for so long.
Stay strong
