Fuzzy-headed madness
Hello, all....about 53 days ago I quit both marijuana and alcohol, cold turkey, after nearly 40 years of pretty consistent use. Not a blackout drinker or an all-day smoker, but definitely a regular over-indulger. I had HORRIBLE anxiety attacks for the first 6 weeks but they're not as extreme right now.
What's most bothersome at this point is my head - it feels....thick...fuzzy. I feel pressure. I'm starting to think more clearly again, but I can't shake this weird feeling in my head. Am wondering if this is symptomatic of withdrawal - has anyone had this experience? In general, I just don't quite feel like myself. Would love to hear from some of you folks - about how you felt during your early months of recovery.
I started going to AA meetings a few weeks ago - it's the only thing that seems to make me feel better. I rather enjoy them. I've got a sponsor and I am starting on Step One this week. It's all good - I just feel like a bit of a basket case.
Cheers!
