30 day challenge

I think I'm actually going to try to go 30 days with out smoking mj starting Monday. Its been years and years... I don't know if I will succeed or not.
It's part of a healthy-living challenge. Yoga every day, no alcohol, no recreational drugs, no coffee, no cigarettes, no meat, no dairy.
Everything seems so easy except the weed part.
Has anyone done a "weed cleanse"? Any tips?

 

ive had to do it for jobs and what not.
Dont associate yourself with people who will be partaking in that kinda stuff.
All about self control
Im rooting for you!

 

I've gone over a week now!
The first few days were hard, it was on my mind, I had habits of smoking right before showering. I became moody, being straight was boring. Every time I read a thread about being stoned I became disappointed. After 4 days it wasn't a problem any more. I don't even care now.

 

Yeah i do it every 3 months or so, weeds is pretty easy to quit...no withdraw symptoms expect for your head. I agree with stoned, just don't be around the toke else it my draw you in, Good luck

 

lol

 

Do it man, tell me how you feel please. I hope you feel lifted and your life gets better.

Just try and focus on something you really want and get it, it'll help you forget about the weeds.

 

Thanks for the support! I'm hoping my short-term memory will come back and I'll be more organized/motivated. Not sure what to expect, but I'll have to get more done at least while I'm not smoking, right?!

Beware of the moody depressed feelings you'll probably get from being without.... try to find something that keeps you occupied. Hopefully it's something that didn't keep you occupied when you were smoking or that's just going to make it worse. Good luck :2thumbsup:

 

I think it's a great thing to do. But I also think that quitting everything all at once can make the 'taking a break' process a good deal harder. Dropping all of those things listed may really throw your body for a loop (maybe not, depends on the body) but don't be surprized if this doesn't give you the 'energy lift' you're expecting until week three.

 

Honestly, that doesn't sound very healthy to me.
The only healthy thing in your challenge is the 'no coffee' part.

 

i kinda agree with ^^ this.. no coffee, no cigs, no alc, no weed might be a good choice, so might the veg/vegan thing, but all at the same time is going to feel like a hell of a challenge. if you choose to do all of them at once, one big tip id give you is:

dont throw your hands up in the air and quit if you slip up once.

i was a vegan for a month, it was really really hard and expensive. i lost a lot of weight and had a feeling between being "cleansed" from not eating as much meat, and just being light headed from being hungry. i managed to be a vegan as long as i planed though and remained a vegetarian for over a year by keeping my bolded information in mind.

i think giving up dairy is an interesting experience and will make you more mindful of dependence on animal products, but it feels unhealthy imo/ime. i would also get some (whey protein/protein shakes) to keep your protein level normal, it will make you feel more energetic. make sure you fill your stomach and get enough all types of nutrition.

 

I think if being vegan is expensive, you're doing it wrong. beans, grains, and vegetables are cheap!

 

I guess I probably should have mentioned that I've been a vegetarian since I was 6, and a vegan for the past 3 years, so that part will be simple.
I am a bit of a health nut, so I drink alcohol about once every month or two, don't smoke, don't drink coffee, and already do yoga almost every day... Thats easy!
The only part that will be challenging will be the no weed thing. I might cut out sugar or go on a juice fast to make it a bit harder, but my main concern is the lack of weed.... Which is why I posted it here.

Only 3 days of weed left before it starts!! I won't be surprised if my friends take bets on when I cave.

 

It's day #4

I won't lie... the first day I smoked 2 joints before bed, but since then I've been completely marijuana-free!
I also decided to cut out sugar and gluten.

I am having a really hard time sticking to it. I didnt realize how many triggers I have for weed (waking up, lunch break, getting angry, friends come over, boredom, firefox not responding, stress, doing dishes, working out, waiting for food to cook, getting off work, putting groceries away, pre-meal time, bedtime, etc). So, pretty much constant temptation. I didn't realize why everyone thought I smoked so much more than they did until now.

At least I know it's all mental, but this morning I swear I could taste ganja in my mouth. I'm at work now... My back hurts, and all I want to do is go home and smoke a big dubie.

My man smokes it while sitting right next to me. That is difficult. I was pretty bitchy last night.

My memory is a bit sharper already, and I am sleeping less but I have more energy. I went from 9-12 hours of sleep per night to about 6 and I don't feel deprived.

Day #2 I was so nauseous that after drinking a bottle of water I threw up. Weed helps me with my tummy issues a lot. Also, I've been light headed and have headaches in the morning. Not sure if this is weed or sugar withdrawal.

Worst withdrawal symptom so far is me being a bitch.

Have an awesome day, everyone!

 

should be pretty easy

 

Keep with it, wont be too long before you're back to norm. Though I'm just wondering, how long have you been smoking weed daily? You said earlier that you smoked 2 joints before bed, so im guessing your tolerance is pretty high. If that's the case your side effects (bitchiness) could take a bit more time than usual to subside.

 

I am thinking about doing the same Zephyr. I tend to go on breaks from MJ and well i think its finally time i break the habit (at least for the time being)

It really does go back to who you hang out with. Whenever i am around my buddy, the Buddha is always present. A hobby will most likely help with your situation. I might pick up chess and see what happens

 

I've been smoking daily for the past 7.5 years. Daily means 2-10 times daily depending on what I'm doing that day. So yeah, the bitchiness is pretty bad. I'm noticing I didn't develop any anger management skills other than "smoke a bowl" growing up, so it's interesting now.

I caved last night and smoked a couple before bed because I was feeling stressed out. I went 6 days I think without it, so I am going to try and go the rest of the 30 days with none.

This is way harder than anticipated.

 

Having a target is always a good thing for it gives a sense of satisfaction if/when achieved - even if it is "one day at a time"
