I have been clean from pot for 5 days! At first it was easier than now. I had a night full of nightmare and non-sleep. I am coughing up cr*p like crazy, I had night sweats and depression! ACK! What a way to live huh?
The good news is I know it means I am recovering...my body is getting rid of the bad and now I have to find what good will replace it.
I will try to stay on the positive and away from self-pity to make it through the weekend.
You're doing great! We are uncomfortable in the beginning, and it does kind of come and go... You're right, self pity leads to nothing good! Grateful addicts don't use! I'm really proud of you Emily!
