Up and down . It ' s not a straight climb out . The first 3 weeks were tough , mood swings , temper issues , sleeplessness etc . Things evened out after a month or so . Hit some low points after that where I started to question the point of quitting but lately it has gotten easier again . I ' ve even been around friends smoking recently and not really been tempted . I ' m able to appreciate how much easier it is to not be a stoner now , really when you think about it takes a lot of effort to be high all day long . It ' s also nice to not feel dependent anymore , I can remember when I used to stress when I had to go for hours without . Best wishes on your own journey , smashing my bong was how I got started too ! Be well , check in w rleaves for support .
