Today I had a day where I felt depressed but not foggy headed and detached, so this was a more familiar sort of a day and feeling for me, for which I was grateful. I did yoga and it got better. It really does come and go though the bad days can seem really long.
OSR, you are very right that it is a good idea to look for progress points because surely there is progress from the fact alone of not using cannabis anymore. I am functioning and able to focus on one thing at a time a lot better and am able to reason through my emotions better and not overreact in my head so that I do or say something stupid that I will regret later as much as I used to.
I feel more conscious about who I want to include in my life now and what and who is probably best to let go of. This caused me a lot of anxiety at first and now I feel better for not being in touch as much and sort of drifting away from old cannabis abusing friends. It just seems to be a more normal and healthy thing to me now. There was so much b.s. dysfunction and imbalance in those relationships for me. My ex still calls me but I think once he figured out I was not coming back to Colorado so he could try and do whatever he was going to pull on me, he backed off. This is fine, though it hurt me a bit. But he has not changed and I see that. I am changing and still moving on.
I am also finding myself naturally reaching out more to the folks I know are not addicts of one thing or another. I figure this will also save me a lot of grief from dealing with the weird antics of cannabis-head flakes in the long run....As they say, "More will be revealed." And as someone else said, changes will happen sometimes very naturally as a course of being on the no cannabis path of life.
