Q: losing sleep quitting pot
asked by: Smartdummy on July 16th, 2008

Hi everyone!
Quit pot after 25 years of daily use.
It's now been 30 days, anxiety is going away, I feel good, going for walks and punching bag seem to work. The only thing that is not going away is
weird and very vivid dreams that keep me from getting sleep.
Anybody experience anything similar? How long will it last?
Please help!
Thank you!

Any drug has to have time to leave the system. For weed it is 30 days. You could experience just about anything untill it completely out of your system. Hang in there, it gets better. And GUIT smoking!

Weird and vivid dreams ...
Thank you for reply!
It should be close then, it's this site that's been great supporter.
It's always good to now there are other people on the same boat.
I quit smoking cigars at the same time( the two seem to go hand in hand )
When I tried to quit only one or the other it never worked.
I'm on the patch and it works great! ( it tapers the physical addiction away)
I know dark times will come, I'll try to remember why I quit in the first place! (to be my own Master in life)

Another day pot free!!! -not to mention my savings account that keeps growing since I quit. I opened it the day I quit and every Friday I automatically transfer from checking to saving exactly the amount that I would normally spend for weed and cigars every week $270. In a year I should have over $7,000. Gee I wonder what I can do with that?
Thanx for your support CarolDiane and everyone!
Keep going everyone! YOU ARE worth it!
