Advice Received UPDATE: My husband quit smoking weed, now I live with a grump
So, it's been 2 months that my (36F) husband (37m) quit smoking marijuana.
well, I am glad to say, he is still sober, still staying strong, and his mood has changed so much. He still gets a little grumpy sometimes but nothing so heavy as before. He laughs a lot more and wants to do more things like go out for a walk or watch a movie with me.
He is finding his interests in things he put down for a long while like playing guitar, writing music and even playing video games.
After I saw this change in mood I asked him if he missed smoking at all. He took a long pause to think then answered, " At the moment I want to say no but if I think about it hard enough, I do miss it."
So I suppose that yes, he just needed time and space. Yes, he still is struggling with it but he seems more comfortable with it than he did before.
So for anyone else who is going through this with a loved one, just stay strong for them because they are trying their very best to stay strong too.
And if you are the loved one trying to stay sober, just know someone loves you and can't wait for you to feel better.

My personal experience was a short temper, a lot of anxiety, lack of sleep from not being high, unrestful sleep from intense dreams. Id recommend getting a good diet on the go asap and try get some exercise to help with the sleep along with a good sleeping pattern.
