Hello, I have only quit smoking pot as of 10 days ago after virtually 20 years of smoking it all day every day. The anxiety and depression it was causing me had been tormenting me from the start and it finally got so bad that I just couldn't handle it anymore. I miss the awe and wonder it inspired dearly, as I just don't find the same satisfaction the little things in life offer as when I was stoned, but the anxiety and depression have slightly gotten better.

Physical side effects I've noticed include not sleeping good at all now, I'm easily irritated, I've lost any motivation and caring about most things and I generally feel like nothing matters anymore because I don't have that little buzz helping me find the thrill of most things, I would call it numb to every thought and emotion, but I am grateful that the anxiety has calmed down significantly, so it's worth it in the end. This is my experience with quitting, and I hope I can return to some relatively "normal" existence, even if it's more boring.
