Welcome to the community Scott and congrats on your 3 weeks of sobriety from weed!
I know that the anxiety can be overwhelming but know that going back to smoking weed to numb yourself is not the answer. Your body has done the physical detox and now is working through the emotional and mental detox as it detaches its need for weed for self soothing.
For terrible anxiety you may want to consider working with a therapist (if you are not already) to get to the root cause. If you know what you are anxious about in the moment you can have a conversation with yourself to help you sort through it and relieve that anxious hold.
Your body and mind need time and patience to heal. Keep showing up for yourself and working on your recovery.

In my experience in putting all form of weed down sence September 12 2024, i find life better. And as im sober during my own journey forward, i hear more and more , from different pot users, that they decide to try to quit because they get angry and server anxiety
In my case
I got both angry and server anxiety from smoking it and withdrawal from it including cravings that would lead to smoking it or withdrawing from it.
Higher power willing, in 4 days ill be 22 months free from this past powerfully gripped backstabber of a substance
I was a heavy heavy nicotine smoker and vaper and user; i quit pot last out of- hard drugs, alcohol, and nicotine products. Pot was the last to go
Pot is super tricky because its a light, trippy buzz that potentially harmless and accepted by many, completely opposite of ciggs which are addictive very much and very bad for your body
So its easy to say ok im going to pick up some weed
What happened to me on sept 11th 2024 was i got cut off, by my wife, with my 7month old child in our other room and i wigged out .. out of control because
…im a addict,
and if i choose to get up right now and smoke weed i will until im forced to stop due to the action I, MYSELF, make which would cost me everything personally
…
…on the other side, right now, can choose to try to stay sober at all cost.
Simplified down
Live life forcing myself to smoke weed
Or
Live life forcing myself to stay sober
If you look at the simplified option, choosing to stay sober not only looks easier, its better, healthier, happier, motavational…everything backstabbing weed promised
The withdrawal sucks and will last until the habbit is forced out of your body and MIND and this will only happen in staying sober
If i quit when i put it down the 1st time, i would have saved a lot of money and even more time for me
I know this sounds like a lot but the pot was going to be the gateway to my end. The cbd, flower, thc pens, gummies, tinctures… all of it was just me wanting more

I set my counter to midnight the very next calender day 12am in the morning or 00:00 in the morning on September 12th 2024
