My partner has been smoking since he was 14. (20 years of smoking weed). He quit 2 weeks ago and has been an as****e - pacing, jumpy, irritable, aggressive and has turned into a complete impatient cop with our 7 year old who thinks he's just giving up the fags. It was only a few days before he stopped thinking about fags (15-20 pday). But still craves the joints.
Ive been smoking for 10 years - just 3 - 5 joints every night. Started to self medicate Bi Polar, but I'm all sorted with meds now and want to give up the pot. I have tried numerous times but cant handle it. Mostly because my irritability, anxiety, mood swings, aggression and depression terrifies me.
We tried to give up at the same time but I couldnt handle the viciousness and my exact same symptoms was too much to subject our son to, so I am protecting him (emotionally) from him until its my turn. We have fought like cat and dog because of it. He went to the doc who gave him some valium to calm him down, which seemed to help a little, but then he started to drink a few cans of bourbon to help him sleep but he admited he just wanted to get smashed, because he missed that feeling. I asked him to ease up on the grog and valium because he was starting to depend on it (after only a week). He's back to an as****e (scary one).
I'm scared that we wont like the new person. Im scared he wont like us. He doesnt know a world without pot and with the upbringing he had, he may have been masking a lot of trauma. Maybe Im worrying too much about what will happen next, but I just want to hear how long others have gone through this for. Some of these posts have some great ideas, which I'll give a go.
Thanks guys.

******Have him take B-COMPLEX and foods high in magnesium for irritation and valerian to sleep. Lots of h20 is good.
Chamomile/passion flower teas helps immediately. Gaba works like valium too. It will get better soon.

I am 34 years old and i have been smoking pot since i was 13, i desperatly want to get off it, i have tried ao many times but always go back, i know i smoke it to block out the mental trauma i have which i am now in counselling for, i also have asthma and the beginings of C.O.P.D and it still doesn't shock me into giving up. I feel mental, it's my old friend who' killing me slowly and because i smoked it from such a young age i think it's prevented my brain from growing natruelly, I'm a bright gal but would of been so much more if i hadn't spent most of my life stoned. It doesn't even make me giggle anymore and these days it's so strong, there should be many MANY more health warnings about this drug, it i,s without a doubt addictive
ALL my friends smoke it and i can't cut myself from everyone???

Well, here I am. 18 years, 9 months old. been smoking for almost exactly 6 years now. When I started it was only weekends ... Then it was only once a day .. then it was only 3 bong rips a day ... then more ... now I'm just spending all my money on it and have a huge tollerance... I've tried quitting and cutting back ... too many times to wish to count ... So now I realize that the only way to solve this problem is to quit forever. I don't need weed to be happy and successful in life, and I don't want it around anymore. I'm going to ween myself down to a toke a day for the next few days; then be done forever!!!
I realize how hard it's going to be to sleep, and how much pain i'm going to have to go through, but it's going to be worth it in the end, no matter how long it takes to start feeling good without weed again.
I will come back to tell you all how i'm doing; and if I don't, be sure weed withdrawl killed me.

Hi,
First of all thankyou everything on these pages has really helped me realise i am not going mad!I have smoked everyday with very few days off since i was 21 i am now 37 and it is exactly four weeks today since i quit.The withdrawel symptoms have been horrendous but my sleep pattern is now back to normal,i'm eating and enjoying food again but my anxiety is still hard to live with.i am so proud of myself but also a little dissapointed that i still feel so anxious everyday. Can anyone who has maybe quit for longer than me tell me if the anxiety does get any easier and perhaps even go away all together with time,i am terrified i will be left in this anxious state for the rest of my life which i frankly could not live with so might aswell go back to my old habits. i am still so full of anxiety i am starting to think whats the point in what i am putting myself through.but the sensible part of me knows that when you have had this stuff in your system as long as i have it will not just go back to normal strait away .
Any advice would be really appreciated.
