Jokeshopbeard, thank you for preventing the derailing of this thread.

As mentioned before, this isn't a thread for whether or not marijuana is good or bad as a whole - this a thread for those who have the aspiration to abstain from marijuana because they believe it is detrimental to themselves.

So I haven't reported in for awhile, mainly because I'm disappointed in myself. I was going strong, and then my girlfriend peer pressured me into doing it. She says that we're a better couple on it, and she's right. Our chemistry and attitude towards each other is so positive and amplified, but I decided that I don't want that. I don't want a relationship that depends on a substance.

I've noticed that I'm pretty moody when I'm abstained as well. Every little thing pisses me off. I think it's time that I seek professional help. I've never wanted to go on meds or talk to a therapist, but I think it's time. My depression and anxiety is getting worse everyday, and I'm just tired of it. I've been battling this for five years. I can't stand being sad anymore...

I smoked weed for about 25 years on a daily basis.

Although I knew it made me dull, anxious, and disconnected, I desired it every day (and often still do)

Weed was functional in 2 ways for me . . .

It kept me in a detached trance-like state all day long, as I anticipated a bong hit after work.
No matter what happened during the day, I was able to remain detached to a degree, as
I looked forward to smoking. I was, in a sense, loaded all day, as I waited to get high.

(Anyone who has been hooked on drugs knows this phenomenon)

Also, it dulled my inner emotional world and allowed me to ignore my emotional needs and
also the abuse I experienced as a child. My emotional needs didn't matter when I was stoned.

I've just had a very traumatising weekend where we smoked pot all day. Literally, my friends were like zombies, one of them slept the entire day and could barely muster a word, his house is a mess, people constantly kept coming in and out of his apartment and I slept on a really old mattress only to be woken up 2 hours later with like 10people in the room some whom I didn't even know and everyone is just smoking up. It felt very junky-ish and made realise that I need to kick my own ass

For some this might sound like an average weekend but it made me realise on how much of a fucking loser I made myself become from excessive smoking.

Marijuana is destroying me, is putting me in places which I don't want to be, made me broke, made everything else second priority and because of that I lost someone very special to me which I'm still grieving over even though it's been months.

I told my friends I'm not smoking anymore so I'm out of friends now

Anyway

Day 2 of not smoking complete. I went all out cold turkey, it was the only way. No pain no gain I suppose

Here's to more and hopefully the climb of a better future

If friends shun you for not smoking pot, they aren't your friends.

Friendships based only on pot are superficial and not very meaningful.

Great job to see this is a harmful element in your life.

It takes 2 or 3 weeks to feel well after stopping...
When the brain starts to make it's own pleasure producing chemicals again.

Best wishes. Remember to have compassion for yourself.

Great input RJ. I'm still smoking for now, and whilst I'm not dealing with cravings to any kind of extent as you mention in your prior post, past experience has taught me that if I drop the weed I'm just gonna find myself attached to something harder. With a big life change on the way it's on the back burner for now, but I'm looking forward to having a crack at dropping it again when I swap my concrete surroundings for wilderness..

Good luck to all in this thread.

They did not shun me. They respected my decision.

What I meant by that is that I have less reason to meet up with them. In fact I haven't talked to them or even met up with them once since, and I don't expect them to either. I've had some good talks with them, we shared stories, our hobbies...etc Pot was just a major influence. I am not sure if that means it's based on pot. I've had many meaningless friendships, and honestly I just let them happen cause I have no choice. I was never a people person.

Thank you for your kind words and critism, this is something that I need to evaluate myself :biggrin:

For now I am focusing on other things, like today I attended Archery for the first time after a year haitus. I started to find joy in, normal things :lol:

BTW, all human interactions are meaningful. I think I came off as an ass there.

If you look deep into the notion, "I'm not a people person" you'll discover fear (AKA anxiety). 

I considered myself a loner and an introvert for several decades until I dealt with my anxiety.
Once I got past that, I became the extrovert I am today. My anxiety kept me from connecting with people.

I have had my share of anxiety and I have over come it.

The only fear I have is rejection from women hence why I don't put efforts into chatting them up. But after years of constant bullying, people betraying me, getting me in trouble with the police, sending me to hospital, not understanding my plight, eventually leaving me in my time of need....etc yea.... people are not for me. I've passed through all my trauma, operations and pain on my own and I am used to it. My family wasn't there much for me, mostly due to the domestic abuse happening at the time. I don't blame them and I try to connect with them, they are all I have. I also am the only one from the family that still visits my abusive father, out of pity cause he's just alone in the world now

Not sure what QFT means JSB

Anyway I came here to report that I just finished my first week of not smoking pot, well, not entirely true. Yesterday I had a small joint, the same size of a rollie cigarette. I was on my way home, met an aquitance whom I haven't seen in a while, she offered me to smoke so I did cause I was over worked, sleep deprived, depressed, it's the weekend. I wasn't proud of myself cause as soon as I arrived home I slept and the effect immediately went.

still, I pat myself on the back cause it's a lot of progress from the 3grams I used to smoke every day

Glad you are doing better.

It fascinates me the reasons my mind creates to rationalize intoxication.

Here are a few of the excuses . . .

I deserve a treat.
I feel so sad.
It was a long day.
I need to feel better.
It's a beautiful day.
I need a break from my stress.
I don't want to be rude and turn it down.
I feel happy. Time to celebrate.
Mom and Dad were shit for parents. Fuck them.
It's been a while since I got loaded.
It's nasty weather outside.
I'm in the mood.
I hate my ex-girlfriend.
It's Friday.
I need to calm my nerves.
I have a few days off.
I'd enjoy the concert/movie/party even more if I was high
I need to relax.
I'm bored. I need some excitement.
My life is fucked up.
It's Saturday.
I got fired from my job today.
Sober people annoy me.
I'm so tired.
It's Monday.
I feel edgy. I need to chill out.
My best friend is here!
Loaded people annoy me.
My boss is a dick.
It's Wednesday.
I got a new job. Time to celebrate.
I don't feel normal.
Life is short. Enjoy it to it's fullest.

Oh man. Fucking great post RJ, I don't know how you managed to get them all in writing but I know all those reasons so well.

We're absolutely amazing a creating good reasons for doing what we want to do but know we shouldn't aren't we?

wow you hit the nail right on the head with that one :lol: I think I've used all of those excuses to help me justify my use, except for the ''I hate my ex girlfriend'' part considering it's mostly ''I love her. she doesn't love me. Time to use and ignore this shit''

Hell this weekend I have a party and I already have my excuses ''its summer, I haven't done much partying, roll up'' :wow:

I think that is just the human experience though. We always find some way to rationalise and justify what we do, be it drugs, sex, betrayal, relationships, music, the whole notion of morality, religion....etc There is always some stupid excuse to support what we do. I find it hard, for example, to come up with excuses when I know I am wrong. I am usually the type that owns up.

I think at this point, for me at least, it is absolutely crucial to not buy anymore pot and not being constantly high from dawn till dusk. I see nothing wrong with a balanced smoke session but the problem with me is that I go from normal to extreme in a few hours so I really gotta watch out on that

There's a distinction (if we decide to be aware of it), of an urge that comes from the head or from the heart.

An urge to get high is not equivalent to an urge to be kind to someone.

For me, my craving to get loaded always comes from my head.

For me, self-care, self-compassion, and an open heart, are never part of becoming intoxicated.

I mix the two a lot or used to. I used to get so loaded that I didn't know which one was which. I feel like both of my decisions, to use and stop the use, all come from my head. I follow my heart when it comes to doing the right thing and I am naturally kind to people and am the type of person that wears his heart on his sleeve but even the heart can makes us selfish and irrational and there is always something to back up our decisions

I just don't want to hurt people and myself anymore and my gut tells me that this is the right thing to do. My mission is always the same, to find balance in the things I do, having BPD makes this very difficult

Drugs make it difficult or impossible to notice the difference.

It's one reason I crave getting high sometimes. To hide from my heart.
