We quit on sunday 17/12. My hubby and i didnt sleep well for 2 nights so far, and weve been sweating big time.
I quit because i cannot afford it. I dont know if that is a good reason. Would i go back to it if i won the lottery. Good question. I know we could have had so much more, eg. Holidays, saving for a house and moneyin the bank. Instead we have nothing with only ourselves to blame.
I know its not too late. Its okay to be frugal. Im goning to change my life.
I will keep you posted.

1. EAT HEALTHY - It maybe hard at first to choke down food even if it isn't agreeing with you and eat at regular intervals. It does not last long the desire to not eat once you force yourself over that hump.
2. Exercise - For me it was and is Hot Yoga, to sweat the toxins out.
3. drink lots of electrolytes and sauna.once again sweat!. Drop caffien for awhile so you aren't wired at night. Did I say drink water?!
this is key!
4. Stay busy keep your mind occupied. Anxious feelings will come and go through out detox, everyday gets better :)
5. Do not smoke, its obvious if you smoke, you will have to start the whole process over
:( if you are truly serious about quitting.
For me it was a state of mind, I wanted to quit , I was tired of non clarity you just have to find your reason once you do, power is taken back and you arw back in the drivers seat.
Love yourself - Peace brothers and sisters.
I’m looking forward to see how I’m feeling after 2 weeks with no weed, and for everybody who’s struggling with weed you need to believe you can do it and stay strong, distance yourself from the people that influence you to smoke, and spend more time with those who will support you to cut the habit.
Good luck with your recovery.
I figured I'd share my experience, seeing as there are so many similarities to what others have posted. I've been smoking for about a year now, gradually increased my daily intake over time, up to about 1/2 oz in 2 weeks most recently. Since I was starting to have trouble actually getting buzzed, I figured I'd take a week off to help bring my tolerance back down. So Sunday I quit cold turkey, and here's how it's been so far:
Day 1: Felt fine, just clearer.
Day 2: Night sweats and had some trouble sleeping, no appetite, bit of anxiety.
Day 3: Hands/feet constantly sweaty, still trouble sleeping and no appetite, now anxiety and irritability
Day 4: Pretty much no change from Day 3
Day 5: Today. No improvement, only more anxiety/irritability, some depression. Lack of focus.
Fortunately only had one bout of night sweats, but the worst parts are the constantly sweaty hands and feet. Makes typing on a keyboard or using a smart phone a real pain in the ass. Only upside is I've lost like 5-10 lbs because of not eating as much or often, but it's not a diet I'd recommend to anyone. I can't focus on work or anything, constantly bored and stressed. And it only stresses me out more, which makes it worse. It's a vicious cycle. I feel like I'm on edge, about to snap. Everything pisses me off and I feel like lashing out..
But it is comforting to know others have had the same symptoms and that it'll pass. Gonna try to get more exercise and drink more water. I just want this to end.
