Ok...
On the 4th of july i tripped balls, ended up getting lost driving alone on the interstate, and went through this climax of emotions...
anyways, I had been an abundant pot-smoker before that, and I just came to accept that it was indeed having a negative effect on me
so i made the decision to just stop. after the shroom afterglow wore off I almost started to not take the decision seriously anymore, but I planted my foot down hard and said NO, and I didn't toke once for 30 days after that which is a very good record.
BUT i did have a toke a few days ago out of plain curiousity to see how I would feel... I got pretty toasted, but overall my body and mind rejected the experience. it was no good... I'm done with weed for a good while.
Meph, I agree with what someone up there said.. cutting down will most definately not work... it might for a week or so... I dunno, for something like this you really need to discipline yourself hardcore.
its hard because weed really doesn't "ruin" your life per se, like other drugs do... so it's harder to remain adamant about quiting or cutting down because its just such a downright friendly happy drug 
ive been fuckin ecstatic ever since i've reunited with my sober mind. i love having a clear head.

I smoked all day/night for many years. I got to the same spot as alot of you have. The high is never good enough for long enough and all the problems that come with addiciton. I decided that weed had to be a part of my life as well. So quiting all the way was out of the question.
I spent at least 1 whole year trying new methods of managing my habit.
Some would work and some fail. And sometimes life just got hard and I didnt give a fuck. I got very creative. I set how much, when, where, who with. I gave my stash to a supporter to dish it out to me slowly. I took many breaks of 1-3 weeks. Tried to create more meaning and connection with the marijuana, rather than just get fucked up to escape or so I could zone out on games..ect. I binged regressed many times that year. But in the end I was able to find a balance. I set boundries, limits and rules. I learned which I could follow and which I failed at. I adapted to this slowly. Tried very hard to establish a rythm, or pattern of smoking that I only deviated from on special occasions. I feel that I pretty much Trained Self control into me as if I was a child. It was as if I became an adult again. Those changes have brought positive results in my life in many ways. I am still an addict. I always will be. (NA talking) But I have brought order and stability to my life like never before. I have weed to thank for this.
God Bless MJ.

I'm back from camping.
Before I left, I walked to my stash and wondered how much weed I should bring. I didn't open it. All I brought with me was a baggie with a small leftover bud in it, maybe 0.1g or 0.2g max.
I smoked once a day, maybe only two or three small hits, just enough to feel it. I'm feeling better already. My motivation is rocketing.
I finally found a job, after a month of fruitless search. I'm going to start working this week. I'm going to quit my tobacco habit, which won't be easy. I'm probably going to get into growing mushrooms. I might start working out once in a while.
Change is in the air. I'll keep a diary. There's a turning point ahead. I'm single, free and life is exciting again.
I'm looking forward to a drastic transformation of my lifestyle. You've all been of much help. I'll keep you all posted.
