One year today

[Head in loud]

Today marks the first year weed free, what a year and what a struggle. Still have all the symptoms and more. Tinnitus never went away so the depression. Sometimes I feel I’m damage for life. Next goal 18 months. I honestly don’t crave smoking every again. I had such a bad PAW that will never ever do weed again.

I'm a couple of weeks from 18 months sober and my tinnitus was much worse at 1 year. I get waves of it now and it nearly disappears between the waves. One thing I've noticed is that my jaw muscles right beneath my ears are very sore when the ringing is at its worse, and they tend to not be sore when the ringing is gone or quiet. I'm beginning to think that the mechanism causing tinnitus is connected to the stiff aching muscles symptom that is common in PAWS. I've also read from other accounts that the tinnitus eases up and disappears once the muscle stiffness is gone.

I've been vegan for years, and I make sure to exercise daily. I also wear blue light clip on lenses at night starting a few hours before I go to bed, the lenses aggressively filter all blue light and help with natural melatonin production... aside from that, it's just been time and genetics
