Fantastic FDM! Situations always change if given time.
And congrats on the six weeks! What a nice chunk of time and a feather in your cap.
Every time I've quit any mood/mind altering substance, I've had horrendous mood swings and downright depression/anxiety. I've always thought about it in the sense that I've been suppressing emotion with substances and when those substances are no longer being used, my mind and body are going make up for that suppression. Like a rubber band being pulled tight and then let go. You will heal, given the time to heal.

I'm doing great on the sobriety side of things. No thoughts of starting again, in fact, quite the opposite. Whenever I smell pot, I am very repelled by it. Never in a million years did I ever think I would get to this point, and I am overjoyed!

Keep up the good work, stay vigilant. stay present in the moment and try not to stress about the past or the future.
