quit drugs for baby

Dont comment if you havent been through it yourself/ if your going to judge. I had a problem with drugs before i got pregnant, doesnt matter what it was but it wasnt pot. i quit as soon as i found out but it has been everything but easy when i cant talk to anyone about it.. my boyfriend quit with me once he found out, but i cant talk to him about it because he hates we even went down that path in the first place.. iv been 8 months clean, and its been in my dreams more than a week.. in a lot of the dreams im pregnant while doing it, but it would be smoked as if it were pot when i did it in the dream, but i would know its not pot and feel so guilty, i wake up feeling discusted in myself for even doing it in a dream.. is there any other moms on here dealing with the craving alone?

I was only a ciggarette smoker & a glass of wine with dinner kind of girl but I crave them ALL THE TIME! I dream about them I have to remove myself from situations where people are smoking because I feel like I will have a ciggarette. I can only imagine how much harder it is to give up a dependancy on a drug like pot or otherwise. You've done it for your baby & that's all that matters don't beat yourself up for the dreams. You don't control them. I've had dreams about cheating on my spouse this entire pregnancy & was riddled with guilt. The important thing is we don't act on our dreams :)

Thankyou for commenting all of you, it really does help to know im not alone.. it also ***** because my bf quit it no problem, he still thinks about it but he doesnt truley understand how hard still it is.. i could smoke half the amount he did and litterally still feel it by the third day, i just wish i could talk to him about it without getting so upset, he feels responsible but its not his fault, i wish he would just understand not letting me get it out is just killing me..

I wasn't into anything hard but I was a daily pot smoker. I love it. And I will do it until the day I die. But I quit it for my last trimester because I was concerned that they would find it in my baby's system when born. It's probably nothing compared to what you're going through but I understand how hard it must be. Don't beat yourself up for dreaming stuff like that. It's just a dream. And honestly I can't even tell anyone the dreams I've been having.... Lol. As you go along in your pregnancy your dreams  get crazy but that's normal so don't judge yourself. All that matters now is that you stay clean for you and your little to be. You're very strong person dreams or not :)

I just wanted to say how strong I think you are.  While I haven't been in your shoes, I can only imagine the struggle.  Stay strong and keep your chin up. One day at a time.

I just quit smoking weed and I'm 22 weeks pregnant only 3 days clean so far >< when I found out I was preg I tried stopping but my nausea was so bad it was the only thing that honestly helped and my nausea didn't subside until I was 20 weeks . But I'm glad I've stopped now

I was doing heavy drugs before pregnancy but quit by myself. Rehab wasn't for me so i just buckled down and did it. However, it was very tough and even 3 years later, the cravings will come and go. It was and is very hard. You are doing a great job. There's nothing you can do besides busy the mind during cravings. Keep gum around or take a hot shower. Good luck hunny

Me. I'm 35 weeks and I'll be out there and honest. I had a problem with MDMA which lead to trying meth. I stopped as soon as I took a positive pregnancy test! I also quit smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. I crave it all the time. My boyfriend quit everything too but occasionally takes adderall, which I used to be prescribed and still crave /: drug addictions are crazy and strong! You'll most likely get cravings for quite some time, but as long as you're clean now... That's all that should matter
