Yesterday was my 90 days clean time, that is the first time ever in about 7 years or longer if i really think about it other than pregnancies, and then it was for someone else not for me. Anyway just wanted to share, it can be done. If I can do it. I was always the one that people expected to be the most high at the party, to have it at the party or at my house to drop in and get a buzz. there was never a doubt i would be stoned or stocked. i started at age 14 and i am 36 now, and daily about 7 years ago, and by daily i mean several times per day. driving, etc. it is sad the things i have missed out on, and am only now realizing, but at least i am noticing it now. i am thankful for this board. it really helped in the early days to help get me through the tough hours. i still browse and am reminded of those days, and still struggle and know that it is only a slip in judgment or whatever away. or a question of when it might happen again. but i am very thankful for the past 3 months and just wanted to share and hopefully give some comfort to someone that is struggling to know that it is possible. because i never dreamed i could go a day, let alone 3 months.
Great for you! I will someday be able to claim the same. Don't get too comfortable with clean time, i have and it's been awful to lose.

jodiemccagh@aol.comhave been a daily smoker for at least ten years and have been pot free for 7 weeks now cold turkey. finding the transition easier than expected. the difficulty is with relationships that were only pot based and and changeing my social environment not seeing my old friends has left me bored and am tempted again just to alleviate the bordom. just need help doing new things and getting to meet new people.
Congrats on 90 days clean.
Yay good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Well Jamv, it sounds like you made it. I would think you only have to keep on doing what you're doing and keep that chin up!
I'm on day 2 and let me tell you my emotions are up and down more than I even remembered them being, and I remembered them being pretty bad.
Good luck and you are in my thoughts!

thanks july 10th posters!
ernie, in the early days i felt like a nut case. i never remember being that out of sorts ever. just be patient and know it is normal. even now i still have time i want it, i have friends that say that is normal too, but it gets easier as the years pass, and i have to say it gets easier as the days pass too. man it is so worth it. just keep trying.

well done indeed. I myself have just reached my 4th day yehaaa which a biggy for me. In retrospect i never thought id even be able to go a day without weed but man that first day was bloody hard. Im not sure what pushed me to the point of stop using but what ever it was lets hope it last (i think it will). I have been have the usual withdrawals (i.e. shakes, broken sleep etc). I have also found that i have been able to control my temper because when ever i begin to get angry with someone i just tell myself that it is the weed and that i shouldnt be getting angry. Either way i shall stay vigelent and stay frosty LOL. 90 days doesnt seem so unrealistic anymore. In the past i would have thought that it wasnt possible to even last 3 days now i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep cool and keep it up.

Good Morning,
On this day, July 12, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Tuesday! How are you doing this morning? Its a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had a tragedy occur in your family? Someone you loved with all your heart is no longer here with you. The people who said they would never betray you have walked out on you at your lowest point in life. The places you often visited to find relief no longer permit you to enter. Has life ever hit you below the belt? Just when you had both feet planted firmly on the ground, an unforeseen circumstance arose out of nowhere. You thought everything was properly planned but the storms of life came and tore everything down. Have you ever had your lifelong dreams threatened by a bad doctor's report, or a job that decided to downsize, or a spouse who decided (s)he no longer wanted to be married.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, Hold Your Head Up! While it is hard to recover after tragedy has struck, it is possible to recover. You must understand, your ability to get back up and carry on will not come through your flesh. It will not come through the amount of degrees you own. It will not come through your PDA, Blackberry or Palm Pilot. Your ability to hold your head up will come by the power of the Holy Spirit of God. The Bible declares in Psalms 121:1 - I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. The help you stand in need of will only come when you lift your eyes unto the hills and realize God has not forgotten you. Life might have hit you with a severe blow, but God can and will heal the wound.
My brother, my sister, what are you dealing with this morning? What tragedy are you faced with today? Do you feel as if you will not be able to make it? Beloved, Hold Your Head Up! There will be days when you cry and nights when you feel alone, but God has given us the Comforter (the Holy Spirit.) It is during the hurtful days of our life that the Holy Spirit is able to show us His glory. The Bible declares in Psalms 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Child of God, understand, your pain and my pain may be different. But your God and my God are the same. We serve a God who specializes in things, which seem impossible. God loves you. Hold Your Head Up! Remember, earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal! My Prayer for You Today: Father, help my friend through this tragic time in his/her life. Manifest Your presence. Let the Holy Spirit take control. In the name of Jesus ... Amen!
