HI i have been sober for 5 days from pot and i have been very angry and crying and sick. i know that i have an addiction problem because i have been trying to quit for a long time and drink heavy or chain smoke in place of pot. now i quit cigarettes and pot and drink only a little. i have a therapist but need more support. its been harder than i thought. i have been smoking everyday for about 7 years. now im 29 and i really want to be sober. im scared to go to the meeting. not a religious persoon. does anyone have advice. i dont know what to do when i feel like tearing my boyfriends head off or feel helpless.
I just read your post, are you still sober? If you have made it this far, that's great. I'd suggest maybe seeing a doctor, perhaps you have a chemical imbalance, it can happen a lot more if you've been smoking for yrs and now you stop. I was on prozac for 5 yrs, to help me through a hard time and it worked great. I wouldn't suggest going that long, but I can tell you that it sure makes it easier to cope and puts things into perspective. Then, once you have licked the pot thing, you can get off the anti-depressants as well. Prozac isn't just used as an antidepressant, it helped me remain calm and I was able to sleep a lot better. I've now been off of it for 7 mos and my brain is now back to normal. Just a thought.....
