Can't believe how many others out there are dealing with the same things and symptoms as me. Smoking for years just to be able to cope with life it's self. Weather it be money, work, relationships. Or just for the fun. I have been hiding under this rock for long enough. It's time that I look into what I am really covering up. I'm so glad to see the info and stories of how others have been able to kick it as well. I have been sober for 4 days and it's been a roller coaster. The mood swings the sweats the unclear thoughts. I can say I have been clearly lost. Can't eat more then a few bites. Feel like I'm going to explode on some one at any given time. I know that it's just a matter of time before it all passes but it's truly a up hill battle. But with the GOOD LORDS comfort I know I'm on the right path. Marijuana has took so much out of me that I have forgotten all the good things in life. I'm now back to seeing where I need to be in life. I have spent so much money it's unbelievable. Thousands and thousands of dollars smoked up. And nothing to show from it other then a sheltered life. Blinding me from what really matters. I have a wife and two amazing kids that deserve SO MUCH MORE!!!. CANT BELIVE IT TOOK ME THINS LONG TO SEE IT. But I'm running all the good things in life away from me just to get that temporary high. I have become a complete failure to my mother and grandmother that I had promised years ago to not walk down this road. An I am truly sorry for any harm or heartaches that I may have cause them. So with this all being Said my friends. It can be done. It's just going to be hard and even questionable. But if you truly have the desire and the heart to do it. The Lord will provide a should to lean on. Just have to belive. Looking to better myself and my family. Once I'm clean I plan to look for a new career. Because the one I ha email may have been driving me to smoke more. Look around there is always a reason to stop. Just have to figure out what you are trying to forget while smoking. Thanks my friends for the comments and help. I ha email a long road ahead. Take care and keep your heads up.

Day 2 of cold turkey for me and hubby. We have smoked on and off for 17 years.. much more on than off, we have given up several times but always gone back. We aren't the type of people who can just have a cone here or there... That one turns in three then five.. then mornings and during the day as well as at night. It quickly turns into an oz a week.We had our first toke on september 1st 2014 after being off it for over 2 years. I knew we couldnt just leave it at one night... four and half months on its always "just one more"Sick of putting our money in dead sh*t dealers pockets we bit the bullet, bought our last gram and smoked it all then threw everything out..pipes cones.. everything.I feel good mentally as I want to stop but my body is going haywire already. The sweaty hands and feet are torture ( especially when walking on tiles lol)Im hoping its short lived as we've only been back on it for 4 months, compared to the other times we quit, we were coming off years of smoking, not months.Good luck to you all, I know I will need it!

Does anyone have experience with easing off it, are the sweats as bad?


For instance if I smoked 3-5 bowls a day. Ease off by doing 1 bowl a day for a week, half a bowl a day for a week,  1/4 bowl a day for a week then done?

yea ive been easing off it. I was smoking more than 3 grams a day of hydro but now just been having a few bowls of natural weed at night for a few nights and ciggerettes in the day to calm my nerves and I seem to coping alright but still feel like a mess. gonna try and go without any weed and then stop ciggerettes after a few weeks. Quitting everything at once is hard and dangerous. You dont want to go through a really bad painful experience quitting because you can become almost traumatised by a bad event and makes the whole recovery process harder to deal with.

Thanks for reply, I quit cigarettes first cold turkey. I was smoking for 10 years about half a pack to a pack a day. That seemed like it had less withdrawal symptoms than trying to quit weed cold turkey. Maybe because I just smoked weed through it. Quitting weed, I feel more nervous, anxious, always have sweaty palms and feet during the day. I'm going to do some long cardio workouts with a long bath/shower afterwords for the next few days/weeks. Trying Drinking tons of water and eat healthy. I remember the last time I tried quitting weed the nightmares were nuts for the first few days. Best Wishes to everyone, this site is great because before this I thought I was the only crazy having these supposedly non existent physical withdrawals from weed addiction.

Yeah bro.. I quit a couple weeks ago was burning pretty heavy.. My armpits and feet have been sweating like crazy and it's really the most uncomfortable feeling. Sorry I don't know how long it will last for but at least you know that you are not the only one.

It's not a physical addiction you are right ... It's a chemical addiction..

I set my goal to give my lungs a break this year, and have been only doing edibles. I stopped even the edibles 3 days ago. The first night, I didn't sleep a single hour. And since then till now, I think I slept about 6 hours total. The sweating is intense. I have weak appetite and bursts of rage and mood swings. The craziest part of this is that I went from 177 to 165lbs. 12 pounds of total weight loss in 3 days. I'm chugging water, and starting tomorrow I'm just gonna start running to expedite the detox process.

I've smoked 4-5 bowls a day for the last 8 years and quit cold turkey 8 days ago...my hands and feet are constantly clammy..thank god for baby powder and old spice lol

Been a smoker for 20 years, the last 10 especially heavy. Been off it about 8 days now. Appetite was sh*t, but it's coming back. Sleep is still fitful, and the dreams have been disconcerting. Some night sweats, but more during the days my armpits are like faucets. I've been working out a ton, so I think that's helped with the mood, bringing back the appetite, and making sleep a little easier to come by. For the most part I feel happier and more with it. My energy is much better.

Once the pits clear up, I'll be glad I've done this. Marijuana is great for some, but I abuse it when I have it. I'm not the type that can ration bud. When I possess it, I'm smoking it constantly. It's too bad, because it's the only substance I have an abuse issue with (no issues with booze or harder drugs). But it is what it is.
