Entering rehab soon...really nervous..

Hi everyone, I've battled alcohol & marijuana addiction for last 16 yrs...binge drinking 3/4 times a week & for the last 8/9 years I have smoked weed daily..  well, I quit drinking alcohol 85/86 days ago.

But now I've made the decision to quit weed! Tomorrow morning I'm booked in for a 2 hour assessment at the drug & alcohol dependance center.. there they will book me into a drug rehab clinic for 7 days..hopefully I can quit this drug that has ruled my life for 8 years!! The usual waiting time is 2 or 3 weeks.. I'm really nervous about the whole thing.. this is definately going to be the biggest battle I've had in my life!! If I can overcome this then I can conquer anything put infront of me!! 

There is 2 pieces left in my life that I feel are contributing to anxiety & depression & all them awful things..that's my marijuana habit & my high pressure job..I'm looking at changing jobs in the new year & hopefully quit the weed for good!! At the end of all this, I'm hoping that beating my demons I can finally find my inner peace & escape the strange hold that is anxiety & depression!!

Wish me luck for a healhier & longer life!

Danny

dear Danny, I'm not too sure whether you you are still in rehab but certainly would love to hear from you, would it be possible to google this 'how to cope with withdrawal from weed', and perhaps you could do as what Cbk has said.

I only found your reply by checking page 2 but please reply back when you can. Geoff.
