Sleepless in Maine

Hi guys, I wanted to thank you for your responses. I got so wired yesterday I
was afraid I would crash and crash hard. So, I called my friend up and went over
to see her. I smoked a joint with her and then she gave me a joint to smoke at
bedtime. Well, between the 2, I slept thru the night last night. 8-) I woke up
this morning feeling rested and calm. I’m not proud of the fact that I caved in
but I felt like I needed to avert a potential crash. I take both my Lex. and
Wellbutrin in the morning so I don’t think that’s what is keeping me awake. I do
need to not drink coffee in the afternoon, at least until I return to a more
normal sleeping pattern. I guess I was afraid of being judged for smoking pot so
I held off saying anything about it here. I’ve only told a couple of people that
I am going thru this. My doc has been very supportive and acknowledges the
difficulty and the courage I have to do this. I’m also a recovering alcoholic
and I swear this is much more
difficult than quitting alcohol. Thanks for your support and encouragement. Sue

    You have my support too and I won’t judge you! I was never big on pot (it
    always made me tired and that was all I got out of it) but had friends that
    were hooked. I guess I was more of a pain pill junkie and since I can’t get
    ahold of those I’m hooked on nothing. LOL
    Take care and hang in there!
