36. "Have you quit it before?" In response to In response to 35 Tue Feb-28-17 10:55 PM by denny
The first week for me....those dreams were so bad I'd have to take a walk outside just to calm down. But I quit alcohol at the same time so it's hard to know what symptoms were for what substance. It was researching the net that made me attribute the dreams to the herb because it's such a common experience with studies done.
In anycase...it's not like I KNEW I wasn't dreaming or having poor sleep for 25 years. It all becomes normalized. It wasn't til I quit everything that I realized how much my sleep was effected. And then like 2 months sober...I started having feelings and memories of way back when I was 11...before I ever took drugs/booze. I realized that I had totally lost a clarity and I had basically spent 25 years in a subtle haze I didn't even know I was in.
