Hello there 
I am currently 4.5 weeks pregnant, I found out 3 days ago and I have been weed free for those 3 days. I just see this next year (at very least) being difficult not being able to use my vice. does anyone have any advice for a pregnant woman who has anxiety going without weed? I’ve seen women addicted to alcohol make mock tails, is there anything that has worked for you? I know I need to walk and find distractions but what about the times when I’m allowed to sit on the couch and relax? I’m nauseous so food isn’t an option yet, drinks other than water are too much most of the time. Thank you!

Sorry, I’ve no experience with weed. Just read around the forum or use the search option to look up specific things. Use the daily check-in thread to hold yourself accountable… and keep us updated

Congrats your sober time and congrats on your pregnancy! I don’t have experience with pregnancy and sobriety but I can say there are lots of women here on TS who have been pregnant and who have found their sober legs during and after pregnancy, so it is possible.
Search “pregnant”, “pregnancy”, “motherhood”, “sobriety”, and related terms and you will find posts about it.

Yay, congrats! How exciting!
My situation was a little different, but my goal was the same: to quit!
When the urge comes, I let it come… and go. I let myself feel the feeling, remind myself of my goals, why I quit, why it’s good for me that I quit. This goes for alcohol and weed, tbh.
Sometimes I still like an oral fixation. I really like Trident gum, it has xylitol which is really good for your teeth.
I also really love to color and draw, but these outlets might be different for you. Some people like cross stitching or paint by number. Browse around, you’ll no doubt find some inspiration.
Congratulations again!!!
