Will i always feel this way?
Question by AnewMan: Will i always feel this way?
Hi all..
i was addicted to marijuana for 4.5 years smoking every single day without even missing 1 day…at all. Ill admit i have a very addictive personality. I was oblivious to my addiction until probably 4 months ago… well i think i knew, i just didn’tt want to admit. I have finally stopped smoking, there were many factors that contributed to this, the threat of losing my apprenticeship(im 4th yr), the threat of losing an overseas job opportunity, and family and my employer telling me i could NOT do it alone, that i needed rehab… that statistics prove that someone who has been using as heavily as i have for as long as i have could NOT do it by themselves. That is all i needed to drive me to prove them wrong,more so my employer who doesn’t know me from a bar of soap.
i have been clean for just over 2 months, and i do feel a hell of a lot better in so many ways, but since ive been clean, i have really noticed how much it has stuffed me up in the head…
I was just wondering if anyone can recommend anything to me, i feel dumb and like i have really held myself back (which i know i have). And if anyone knows how long it will take until i can think more rationally and feel more “normal”. Or should i go get myself checked out?

You should probably go get yourself checked out on this matter, for it’s always good to talk to some professional who knows about this. You should be proud of yourself for being able to stop on your own and for staying clean, it must be a tough battle. You can really do anything you really set your mind to and keep your motivation up. The damaged that you caused your brain can’t be taken back though undoubtedly you killed brain cells. I would look up any information online or in different books, in this day and age you can really find some good information. If you feel like you might relapse go to a group, who cares what the people around you think, as long as you help yourself and stay on a straight path that’s all that matters. Good luck!
