sobriety

No weed for over a week.

And yes, Cannabis Withdrawal Syndrome is a thing.  A thing in the DSM-5.

Fortunately, my withdrawal symptoms are almost all physical rather than mental and have been moderately well-managed by the gabapentin.  The restless leg has been more annoying than the nausea but I can feel it gradually getting less jumpy. Last night I slept through till 4:00 am. I don't seem to be any more depressed or anxious.

So, I'm feeling better. I'm reading articles about weed's dangers (strong connection to heart disease and loss of certain brain functionality) to further encourage my transition.

In the meantime, I'm also doing some odd exercises for my tinnitus self-treatment. The weed helped me ignore the sound so now it's louder and more annoying but I'll adapt. After all, it's just my blood telling me I'm still alive.

The bottom line is, because I am enough, I'm finally ready to do more stuff.  And like Ken, I want to become "great" at it.
