Found some positivity in my withdrawals, thought I’d share.

My Wife and I just had our Daughter 10 days ago. I’m now going on 13 days sober myself. I decided to quit cold turkey since I didn’t want to go through the shame of being around my baby daughter blitzed out of my mind.

I was taking upwards of 100mg of edibles a day sometimes twice a day for the last 7 years of my life.

The first few days were terrible, sweating non stop, no sleep, anxiety was through the roof. Luckily the sweats have stopped at this point and now I’m just having trouble sleeping more than 2 hours a night. Now due to this terrible withdrawals I can stay up all night and watch our baby giving my Wife plenty of time to rest up and recover from birth.

There’s something about holding your child in your arms that make all the irritability go away and distracts my mind from all the awful withdrawal symptoms.

I’m proud to say that I will continue on this journey and will never touch the stuff again. I have to do it for my Daughter and my Wife.
