Benefits of quitting cannabis

I've quit for 4 weeks now after smoking various forms for 13 years (last 10 being skunk type weed). I seem to of hit a wall where it's quite hard to cope. To be honest I can't say I noticed many symptons up until now, I regularly went unable to source any for a week or sometimes two so was used to periods of not smoking any. I do smoke cigarettes too.

However, now I'm 4 weeks in it's feeling hard but I'm determined to get to that magical 6 week THC banish point.

It seems it's also uncovered I suffer from despression and the weed was acting as an anti-depresent. So that makes it even tougher.

Has anyone else out there had trouble at 4 weeks as most of what I'm reading say the first week is the worst?

Finding this site has been great especially the link in the sig to http://www.droginfo.com/pdf/guideuk.pdf

Thanks all!

Hi Barry, look mate youve done 4 weeks and you should be massivley proud of that. Im starting my journey tomorrow and to b e honest im dreading it andf I know im going to have many hard and challenging times ahead. Juist look back over these last 4 weeks and look how far youve come. I cant wait to post on here in 4 weeks time that im still weed free (I hope). Like you I still am going to smoke cigarettes as I feel giving up the both is too much of a mountain to climb however omnce ive kicked the weed then ill tackle the cigarettes. One thing at a time. Like you ive felt depressed for a long time and although weed gave me something to look forward to ultimatley it never made me feel better long term in fact it just made me feel worse. You should be proud youve gone this long. I wish I could say id fdoe 4 weeks. I thnk personally youve done great and should just reassure yourself with that and continue to stay strong, Hope you battle thrpough. I know im going to be on a long and lonely path in days/weeks/months to come but reading all the success stories on here just motivates me even more. I hope one day I can post on here as to how great I feel and hiw much this site helped me. Just rememeber youve got this far so dont throw it away now. Keep battling.

Cheers, funny, we both replied to each other at the same time. Let's keep in touch. Be strong, try not to think about it too much, looking back over the past 4 weeks I think that was one of the good things I did.
