I can't believe it's only day 8 since I gave up the evil hooter. Feels like an eternity ago, but I have improved my life so much since I've given it up, lost more weight, energy, clear mindedness, everything is positive, I dont have depression or mood swings like I used to...still can't understand why it took me so long to give this crap up when I think about all the energy, money, emotional issues I have spent on it over the years.

I'm also an asthmatic, and I have noticed a considerable difference in my breathing, so, so good to not wake up feeling like I'm going to choke to death.

I'm still getting all the black crap coming up off my chest, which is a good thing I figure, better out than in lol.

I'm still having trouble going to sleep at night, thinking I might pick up some valerian root to help with that. I hope everyone is being successful with their journey!!! xx

Thanks so much! I am succeeding, and feeling great for it, I hope everything is going well in your departure (love that expression). All I can say is that I definetely wasted a big chunk of my life smoking mj, and I don't intend on letting it happen again, life is great, give us an update when you get the chance, love to know how your doing. :-)

I am almost through day one. So far not so bad, but I expect the worst in the next couple days here. I have had a few cravings to smoke, mostly from my triggers, but I am coping. I have quit smoking cigarettes before so I have a bit of experience dealing with quitting addiction. 

I have been trying my best to keep busy, was running around all day! I think I got more accomplished today than I did in the last month hah. Im feeling good, and to be honest I still kind of feel baked! I'm sure this will subside as the days go one, but one day at a time for me is the way to go!

Hopefully everyone else quitting is still staying strong. It is the holidays, so having a lot of time off will be difficult. I will need to keep myself busy somehow! So far no painful symptoms, we will see how I sleep tonight. Anyways, I wish everyone the best of luck!

One day at a time.

Well guys, it was a month on the 28th December, but Leeshy had a bucko yesterday through all the christmas spirit, so I guess back to day one. Although does it count if you're really drunk and can't remember feeling stoned?? lol, silly me. OneDayAtATime, I totally remember first quitting, and that was me in a nutshell, the triggers were the worst, when the kids were giving me the shits etc, but keeping my mind off of it, and distractions were a godsent, but I do remember I used to think about it a lot in the first couple of days, keep it up though, the long term rewards are totally worth it.

Congrats on the one month, 

I am on to day four! So far the withdrawals havn't been too bad actually. It might be becuase I was such a heavy user and the potentcy of my bud was very strong. I'm just thinking that my body hasn't realized that it isn't getting anymore yet! But I can tell you I feel great!

Best of luck!
