Fatigue was an issue for me Vino. I had to make sure I ate well and wisely, got enough rest, and started a little exercise - hard to do when you're tired but it helped me.

Now at 6 pm everything is normal.

I am trying to "reset" myself, which means: exercise, meditation, cold showers, studying, no fap and good nutrition.

Vino 2.0 hehehe

I'm new here. What does "AV" mean?

Hello everybody,

I forgot to check in here.

Vino88 - yeah, fatigue it's quite common, just give it some time, good eating, rest, exercise and maybe some supplements and you'll be rocking.

It's around 2 months for me now. Generally I feel better. I like the freedom I have now, not having to think about it all the time and etc. For example I've been to this event that, first of all if I was smoking probably wouldn't have gone to and secondly, it would have been so hard to attend it and take the most of it if I had to think about and/or use pot.

Yes, I do have the occasional thoughts to smoke some, but I just remind myself that I'm better without it. Still, I have not made a commitment to never ever again, which for me seems to be the better way. It's just that I feel better without it for the moment and I like to keep it that way. After all, I could do it if I wanted to, it's just that I prefer not to.

So I'm happy I did it, there are a lot of benefits to not being an addict to pot - freedom, energy, health, money, prosperity, self confidence and many more.

Thank you for being here and being so awesome! Helping people is amazing!

Good luck and all the best wishes!

I'm on day 16. The craving to go get some, especially when it is so readily available really sucks.

congrats on day 16 spunout
I think being in a sober house is a great argument against any thoughts of smoking again.

If you can stay clean/sober now you'll be in a good place when you leave the sober house,.

Thank you, Dee!

Spunout, the first 2-3 weeks are usually the hardest for cravings and etc. You're on the verge man, don't give up and it will get much better! Good luck!

3 years today

I have become a happy and healthy person during this time. It was a complex journey, with a very rough beginning.
I have lost a lot of weight, worked on my habits, quit alcohol too. My friends drifted away, I don't miss them though.
I don't miss anything really. I did not crave even once during this last year. I love my new life. I'm thankful.

That's why I say to anyone who is suffering from addiction: just quit, at whatever cost. It's worth it.

Hey, team.
Just wanted to say I'm not doing that well.
Stress is high, covid is bad around here, really hardcore stuff.
I managed 2020 quite well, but 2021 just got me. I began craving again.
I had not experience cravings in a long time.
Like I said many times, I did even not allow myself to think about relapsing.
But recently I realized I was begining to allow that thought again, and that's a red flag.
I won't relapse, I don't have oportunities to do it, and I don't have the "courage" nor the "nerve" to do it.
I would be to ashamed to look in my wife's eyes.
But I feel vulnerable, after quite some time feeling so steady.
Just venting I guess. Thanks for reading.
