I just got a bombshell dropped on me. My partners work is going to start drug testing, so we have to get off the weed. I really had only just stopped feeling guilty about smoking and started to enjoy it. I feel like weed has really opened my eyes and made me a happier person. Im glad that it has helped me achieve mindfulness when I struggled with that for many years. I am thankful for that but I am scared now to go it alone.

I know we are in for a tough few weeks. Im preparing myself and trying to think of plans to put in place. Whos been through the withdrawls and what helped you? Any tips for a couple going through it together?

Overall Im not seeing this as a bad thing, my partner has needed to cut down for a long while and I never imagined myself in this situation 3 years ago. It will be nice to not be worried about people finding out and while I never had issues with spending more than I can afford, my partner has. I know my lungs will be happy!

I don't some weed but at least you're not worried about it and actually seem chill with it. Good for you.

Umm, maybe you and your partner might start a new heath routine together, drinking healthy shakes or smoothies, working out, walking ect and trying to enjoy life without it. A support group might be helpful, but there are other things you can do and I think getting into a health routine, eating healthy ect, would give you some incentive to keep doing it. Also, have a account that you spent your money on the weed and instead use it for your pleasure, like going to a really nice restaurant ect. good luck

Thanks for the suggestions. I am actually having very little trouble with this, I am surprised because I thought it would be harder. I'll tell ya what, I'd take these "withdrawls" over any medication withdrawl!

My partner is having a harder time of it. I feel badly for him, I hate to see him suffer.

I hope your partner can see how well you're doing, maybe then it will show them it can be done, i'm sorry it is so hard for him.
