Does anyone have any advice for supporting and coping with someone going through withdrawal? My husband is trying to quit his weed addiction and he has been irritable and mean since he quit. His mood is erratic and he is constantly annoyed w me. I don't even know how to bring this up without setting him off. Just feel like I'm walking on eggshells and I'm emotionally exhausted at this point. Is there anything I can do to help him? Is there anything I can do to help myself cope?

I am in the process of quitting weed too. And while I don’t have cravings at all like I did when quitting booze, I am def more irritable. I noticed also my blood pressure went up quite a bit like it was 135/100. The 2 go hand in hand…blood pressure and irritability. Maybe kindly suggest he check is BP and if it’s high he can get meds to lower it. He can do this at a walk-in clinic and not even have to mention the weed. I upped my BP meds and felt worlds better.

Not sure if this helps but maybe he needs to change his mindset a bit…. See Man On Fire male connection. There are some videos there that may help him relook at what’s important and how to change his mindset on this.

Are you suggesting that blood pressure meds are healthier that cannabis? Perhaps moderation could work, or using it mindfully without smoking/vaping.

Yes plus having high blood pressure is dangerous it is a precursor to heart attack

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts.

It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.
