I was sober from Oct. 25th 2023 until May 20th of this year and oddly enough, on day 5 (today) I feel like I'm back in the headspace I was in when sober the first time...just 5 days ago I was waiting up with diarrhea and nausea...could be the extreme heat and lack of rain we've had as well, either way...the pot wasn't helping me cool down, beat the the heat, sleep or feel good in any kind of way, as much as a fun summer it's been with Mary Jane...I recognize that it isn't a cure all, luckily my symptoms have been minimal ..those first couple days I just had to drink gatorate and eat only what I could, day three I was eating a burger at Denny's and had swiss streak last night...

Back in May when I decided to hesitantly smoke after nearly seven months I was shot to the moon...it was like the first time all over again, the tiniest little pinch got me so stoned...lately I've been taking my pen with me places and getting stoned before important functions so I feel it's good to step back so I can continue to feel good in my own skin.
