I'm only on day 3 , so I'm going to scrape the benefits I have experienced .
- not waking up tired
- not eating til I'm so full I feel I could explode
- Not being paranoid everyone is staring at me when I walk down the street
- Cleaned my teeth every day of the quit , once in the morning , once before bed , gross that I didn't before I know, but I'm sure a lot of you can relate
- Worn clean clothes every day of my quit and given a shit about my appearance outside of the house
- Connected better with my family while I've spoken to them on the phone , though I have not seen them yet in person since the quit , I'm still very fragile , I can already sense a difference in our connection even over the telephone , the weed really numbed me out of my relationships
- Circles around my eyes fading a little as a result of getting proper sleep , although much less sleep that what I was having while smoking cannabis, it's now more like a real sleep
- Can breath deeply without my lungs tickling my chest
- I don't wake up in the morning wondering where the first joint is going to come from
- I don't wake up in the morning with a feeling of guilt that it's going to be another groundhog day all over again , I acutally wake up feeling like I've acchieved something by staying clean
- I don't feel scared walking around the town , knowing that I have to hide my stash from police if I get searched
- I can drive knowing that I don't have to feel guilty that I might harm myself or someone else on the road as a result of being stoned, something that I know would ruin my life , the guilt would eat me up .
That's all I can think of for now , the negatives of giving up the ganj , so far :
- Can't nod off to sleep so quickly
- Short tempter
- Anxiety
- Hot flushes
- Nausea
- Head fog
As you can see , so far on my quit , even just 3 days in , the benefits outweigh the negatives, and what's more important for me to remember is ,the benefits are forever , where as the negatives are shortlived.
Hope everyone is still hanging in there .... Grandma, James, Both Lees , You are all in my thoughts.
