Shyness and Weed

[bleaknunhappy]

Hello all,

I would like to share that I used to be a chronic smoker of marijuana. I used to blaze a few times daily, for tow years straight. Now that I have quit, I feel that I have a renewed sense of self and a sharper wit. The bad part is now I actually have to deal with my problems - that being my shyness and social ineptness. Some times I just sit back and think about how nice it was when I could just rip some bong loads, watch a movie and not have a care in the world and not be worried by my loneliness and shyness. Anyone have some similar stories with drugs and shyness?

Hey, mainly I just want to say...huge kudos to you for kicking that habit.

I'm not into drugs, but I have something else I do for similar reasons...escaping reality, whatever. :S It's definitely hard to get away from something that you've used to cope for so long.

I'm still struggling with what I'm dealing with, so unfortunately I don't really have any advice for you as to how to deal with reality...but I do totally understand what you're saying. I'm really in the process of figuring out the same thing for myself. Maybe it's a bit different for everyone anyway.
