I agree w/ Old Man Legit. It feels friggin amazing to quit, once you build up the momentum. It's not easy, depending on your level of mental dependency, but I experienced irritability, lack of appetite, hyperactivity, increased senses of taste and smell, mild cravings, and insomnia the first couple days, as well as some freaky ass dreams, usually involving the delusion of me smokin herb and then waking up to the unsatisfactory realization that I really didn't just chief 6 fatty bowls through the bong, shared with an angel that I could swear I had previously seen a statue of on the Latter-Day Saints website. And if drug wasn't in the scene of my dream, I typically had nightmares bout something going wrong at one of the institutes that contributes to the bulk of my stress, such as having an extremely busy day at the Krusty Krab, receiving no help from my dipshitted coworkers, who can't tell the difference between sour dough and wheat bread, contributing to me falling further behind and waking up to feel stressed out.
But anywho! It's not as easy as some people may make it seem like.. Some people, such as myself become extremely dependent on the substance, even if it doesn't provide the most enjoyable experience. I smoked pretty much constantly through high school.. Before school, inbetween classes, at lunch, after school up until I passed out w/ a mountain of food accumulated from all the junk food that I had consumed.
What gave me the drive to quit was a thinking session that I had one night.. I was asking myself all kinds of questions such as "What could I be buying to help out my financially disadvantaged family if I weren't selfishly spending it getting baked?", "Had I not been baked out of my gord, would I have remember to buy my GF a bday present, my bro an anniversary gift, my mother a few flowers for mother's day..", "Would I have been more productive at my previous job had I not been noticeably baked 90% of the time?", "Would I be at an average weight in the present, had I not lost my appetite after kicking Mary Jane to the curb?".
Quittin ain't always easy for us who used the substance just about all day, about every day, using it as a crutch to help us remain entertained, calm, social, whatever. Anywho, it takes lots of self-control. It's not physically addictive though, so you wont be fatally miserable. Suck up the boredom, you were able to handle it when you were baked out of your gord, now you just have the concentration to do something productive. The cravings will pass, guaranfrigginteed. In fact, after awhile, you start to realize how much easier, if not more enjoyable several tasks are w/o a cloud of smoke in front of your face. Your diet will likely get back on a normal rate, you'll have a better sense of concentration, etc.
In conclusion, this goes out to all the habitual, daily, if not constant pot smokers. Life gets so much better w/o it, and you learn an extremely valuable lesson in self-control.
BTW: I don't care if you disagree, can afford to smoke bud constantly, managed to get your PHD while blazed 24/7, etc.. Good for you, I give you props for beating the odds. Peace, I'm out.
) and yes the insomnia sucks, but i just had a small amount of xanax for 2-3 nights and then i was actually ok.
