3 days sober, every day is both easier and a challenge

What a crazy roller coaster this has been. I’ll wake up in a panic, and then the next hour I will feel calm, happy, and have somewhat of an appetite. Here’s to hoping more and more hours will feel like that. When the bad feelings hit again, it can be so frustrating and feel like I’ll never be okay again, because I thought I was starting to feel better. I know that eventually, though, I will be fully healthy and happy in my sobriety.

Here’s to taking it day by day and hour by hour. We can do this!

Quit due to possible Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome

I have been a daily user, heavy smoker for four years now. I have not taken a break in 3-4 years and used daily.

The last time I quit, I spent two weeks detoxing with constant nausea, zero appetite, dehydration/severe dry mouth, insomnia, and anxiety. (Back then, I was doing sometimes 200mg+ edibles nightly.) All of a sudden, while still using, I have developed all of these symptoms again. I can only assume this is CHS and my body is now rejecting it.

Therefore, I quit 24 hours ago (haven’t slept since). Has anyone ever experienced this before? I’m sure the symptoms will continue now as withdrawal, like last time.

I was going through about a 1g cart in 5 days on top of occasional ~50 mg edibles. I anticipate another brutal detox, and I am scared. This is the worst feeling in the world and I never wanted to feel it again.

Does anyone have any advice for the physical symptoms? How long will it last? Does anyone have experience with suddenly being “allergic?” I started orientation at a new somewhat physically demanding job this week, and I can’t hardly go in in this state. I could be unemployed if this keeps up. Anything will help. Thank you.
