Gyday all,
I've just had abit of a read thru some recents messages and am pleased to see you guys are still helping each other and welcoming in new people to this support network.
I'm now @ day 65, that 9 weeks without a puff, we had a little celebration dinner last week to mark 8 weeks, its great to have a supportive partner when dealing with the recovery process. Some of my old smoking buddys cant beleive i've been able to go this long! Bumped into my old dealer the other day and it was sad to see him in a such wasted state, with his kid at the supermarket, heard all about his recent motorbike accident and how lucky he is to be alive. If only he knew how good it feels to be straight.
It sure feels good to wake up in the morning with a clear head, get up and feel motivated to go to work and not think all morning about that lunchtime smoke. I hardly think about weed at all, more often than not its other people who bring the subject up, its not that i'm avoiding it, more that i just dont think about it anymore!
Those earlier side affects of anger, bad dreams etc have all settled down now and i'm able to function very well on a day to day basis. I know my partner, my kids and my employer are all benefiting from me being straight.
It feels so good to feel ALIVE again.
All the very best to all of you out there who are getting straighter everyday.

good to hear from you again. congrats on your sobriety.glad to hear things are going well for you. it is amazing how fast all the withdrawl symptoms go away. i think people new to recovery really need to hear how fast things really do get better. i know when i quit, thats what kept me going. i couldnt see the light, but everyone said to just hang in there and things would be better before i knew it. and they were right. good luck to ya. keep us posted.
