75 Days clean(Weight Gain question?)
I’m 38 year old male, first smoked weed in summer of grade 9 so I was 13 years old I became a daily smoker and abused it everyday once I was 18 years old till 38 So that’s a solid 20+ abuser
I tried to quit many times before this with no success, withdrawal symptoms were intense, dreams were crazy, night sweats, Boredom, etc
This time I made it a mission to do this for myself and finally let my parents see a sober son for first time since I was a teenager I will say the withdrawal symptoms were intense for the first 2 weeks, boredom and wanting to smoke my bong was tough, crazy vivid dreams but night sweats were not bad this time around thankfully
I’m now 100% never looking back, the energy is amazing, no brain fog is such a good feeling, I’m way sharper mentally Anxiety is gone now too, weed can make you anti-social and just sit in your room ripping bong after bong and not eating I don’t dread social events or going out to see family and friends, I actually look forward to it
My question is though, because I did Poppers as well, so mixing nicotine with my weed that was a huge appetite suppressor, never smoked cigs by themselves btw, just poppers When will the weight gain subdue LOL
For reference, I was only like 6’4-165-170lbs max while being a daily smoker In 75+ days sober, I’m now 6’4-215lbs LOL My eating is insane and appetite I prolly eat at least every 3-4 hours now and enjoy being able to crush foods now
I’m just wondering if you guys had to adjust your intake of calories and stuff I eat a lot of eggs, hamburger, steak, fish, etc Not big on veggies, I’m more of a carnivore LOL
Now I do plan on hitting the gym soon but even then, I want to be 6’4-225lbs anyway So I plan to just turn some of this added weight into muscle So just asking if I will plateau here eventually
My brother and dad are big boys though for reference Pops 6’2-240lbs in his prime, prolly about 215/220lbs now at 65 years old My bro is 6’0-270lbs at his peak, down to 250lbs now Both sober and never touched weed in their life
Thanks for reading and keep up the sobriety life, it feels amazing boys and girls 👊
