Thanks for sharing guys. Here's my story:
I'll give you some background as I think it's relevant. So I'm a 26 yo woman who has been smoking since about 20. At first just at night, then night and weekends and then almost all day everyday when I wasn't working. I've always been a bit prone to depression as I'm a high functioning person, very switched on, always asking questions and analysing the world/our capitalist/consumerist society (think a female version of the Mr Robot character minus the social anxiety, morphine addiction and hacking skills - that's me to a T) and i have had the misfortune to have gone through numerous incompetent/a hole bosses and placed much trust and expended much kindness in people unworthy of i (just like many, many people out there - I know I'm not unique in this respect, but ya know background).
So anyway, I don't smoke cigarettes (just mull up in the bong with pot if I don't have natural herbal stuff to use) and hate alcohol. I will begrudgingly drink a bit at a function simply to avoid the judgement from Australian bogans. Despite using tobacco here and there in the pot I am not addicted to it and actually still detest it's taste/smell.
So between 20 and about 24 my weight skyrocketed to 85 kilos. I'm 164cms. I had an epiphany one evening and my mentality shifted. I had to tackle the weight first before I could move onto dealing with the pot. I quite being a fatty cold turkey by exercising at least an hour a day everyday and totally 180'd my lifestyle, eating habits. Few carbs and a plethora of Thai food, home made. So I kept smoking pot during all this, every day still pot, but I waited until I had done all my work for the day. I dropped the weight and now am toned, 53 kilos (just so light as my boobs literally disappeared, now they're empty granny sacks, (too much info lol) but I'm getting new ones soon as a reward for my hard work. i even have a slight six pack, more an outline, but it's there (I don't want anymore muscle definition though as I'm not a fan of muscly chicks. I'm at the height if my fitness now, better even than when I was a kid. But...
After I dropped the weight and could tone down my exercise hours I went back to smoking almost an ounce a week. It was doable as I got it for around the price of a quarter. Also my ahole boss was to blame, gave my promotion which I was going above and beyond for (putting in an unpaid extra 3 or more hours each week while they pay me pennies as an online content writer/marketer) to some noob kid still at university whom I suspect must be related to one of the bosses as the ignoramus gave me a wet fish handshake, couldn't look me in the eyes and was blatantly talking himself up and talking our of his arse. No way he would have made it through an interview with that approach.
Sidetracked again... Ok so that's why I Saud "f it" and started smoking so much again. But as I'm no id**t, I realised this is silly and I'm only shooting myself in the foot. If nothing else, it's just too expensive!!
So now I'm on quit day number 18, almost three weeks off. I'm doing a-ok aside from horrendous night sweats. Takes forever to get to sleep and then I sleep maybe 4-5 hours before waking up drenched in sweat. No dreams yet. My sweat doesn't stink at all. I suspect this is because I've treated my body as a temple (aside from the pot) for the last three years and barely eat anything naughty. Mostly veggies, fruit and a few carbs. When I was fat I sweated a lot and freaked badly, now nothing. No sweats during th day, just the night sweats. I have practically no hunger and am full after a few bites. Still at almost week 3 off. Some days I feel like I can bite a person's head off if they so much as look at me sideways, and others I'm fine.
I should definitely mention that I'm actually on holiday overseas atm. I quit the day I left. I'm in Switzerland for 4 weeks visiting family and took this as the perfect opportunity to quite. Luckily, or unluckily I got knocked down with a cold a few days after arriving so now all my night sweats, lack of appetite, mood swings, bad sleeping patterns etc all look to my relatives as just symptoms part of my cold so that's kinda good for me. As I'm so busy here seeing people I haven't been craving any pot at all and feel fine apart from the aforementioned withdrawals.
I also seem to be toning up more despite not doing any exercise while I'm here. I'm definitely eating less, but at home I exercise a lot and eat less and well and haven't been able to tone my butt and thighs no matter what I do, yet now these parts are toning while I'm doing nothing.
Does anyone know if this has something to do with the tux attached to the fat cells? Could these be the last remants of my obese fatness which had tux attached from years ago and now due to the lack of it they are finally detaching and allowing these areas to tone. Would love an answer if anyone knows.
So that's my story up until now.
THC not Tux - stupid autocorrect
Seriously tho its normal ... shouldnt last more then a month but physical activity definitely shortens the shitty feeling you get after quitting
Smoke it clean and your golden
