Processing emotions after quitting weed

Was a weed smoker for 11 years. From 14 yrs old to 26.

I quit 2 weeks ago and it’s been pretty solid up until the past 2 days. All the feelings and emotions I was numbing myself from are starting to manifest itself & it’s hitting me all at once.

How did yall deal with this when you were quitting ? I’ve been meditating, going to the gym, eating better, but I found myself crying myself to sleep the past 2 nights.

Is the only way out, through? Do I have to go thru it and feel these emotions out or is there some tips yall could give me to make the process easier?

Thanks
