I completely agree even though I don't watch television.

Don't feel bad when you mess up. Congratualate yourself for cutting back as well. Guard against black and white thinking though quitting is a great goal!  |
Yes I have lyrica, olanzapine and propanolol for anxiety. It's a personal decision to stay away from benzos. You're right re black and white thinking. The main thing for me is to be free of any addiction or dependence. MJ was in a grey category since it has been prescribed in the past. However, I just decided to see if I feel better when I am not dependent on it anymore. Having to toke first thing in the morning is dependence.

Good job resisting! You can do this!

Good for you for sticking with your quit and I understand your concern. I wonder if I would have ever been psychotic if I weren't on MJ. One way to find out is just to stop consuming and see what happens.

Thank you WC for showing you care once again. Once I get through the morning there's just a little patch in the evening that is rough otherwise it is not too difficult. I wouldn't compare it to quitting cigs. That was much harder. i had started consuming again hoping it would lift my mood but that didn't happen. Now I'm hoping wellbutrin will do that instead.
