Exactly. Our monkey mind is non-stop chatter.
I realized long ago that getting high was a break from the cacophony.

Finally a anti-bud smoking support group compared to a "we all hate alcohol" posts.
Best to those who want to quit and do. No problem with people giving up addictions that they no longer want to continue.

For me, caffeine and nicotine seem help to ground my attention deficit (in absence of Marijuana). Maybe it will work for others.
I combine it with L-theanine, high quality fish oil, Alive! one a day, and Curcumin (with piperine).

I smoked for nearly 20years (since my early teens). Zero self control when it comes to weed unlike anything else I do and it was just way too easy to get my hands on it considering most of my social circle revolved around it. Haven't smoked in a lil over 4 months now which is the longest i've been off it. Took for me to move country and just cut all ties with my old circles. My lifestyle has totally changed for the positive. Oddly enough, i've not played a video game since moving either.
I'd like to be one of those occasional tokers but i'd smoke everything I had. got to a stage I was smoking stupid amounts and it was barely even affecting me, just a routine time killer.

a lot of what you said applies to me as well...been smoking multiple times a day every day for years and about to run out for the 1st time in years. Guess I might do what I did last time I "quit" and start back running. Used to be a helluva cross country runner

I finished my stash yesterday and today is Monday so I am going to try and cold turkey this week for the 2362898492834859032485093th time
I only managed to do a week and I slipped all over again. At least all of my debt is paid now! Just this weed monkey doesn't want to get off my back. I agree, it is a time filler for me. I don't feel anything from the affects and I use it to dampen the sound of boredom. It's difficult when your social circle is all pot heads, everyone you met is a pot head or a dealer and everyone is smoking it or do stuff thats related to smoking.
I dont think I'll ever get rid of this monkey off of my back. I signed up with NA but still haven't been to a single meeting. Don't think I'll go either

Addiction is a thinking disorder, where one succumbs to the notion they are powerless and not in control.
Urges come and go. Don't fight them. Let them be. Urge-surfing is how we ride the waves of our urges.
When the pot monkey urges you on, just laugh and reply, "Hi there Pot Monkey! Thanks for saying high!"

Hey, guys, glad to see that this thread is taking off.
Thanks for monitoring JSB.
It's been a while since I decided to take the time off marijuana and I'm feeling great. I've begun a relationship with a beautiful girl for the first time in 4 years. I smoked with her a couple times but it just made my insecurities even more uncontrollable. Without pot, I'm able to take not of my insecurities and not act on them.
Taking the time off of smoking gave me time to realign my perception of marijuana with the reality of how it affects me - as a consequence, I'm no longer that interested in smoking. It feels great. The people around me have picked up on it and a few of my friends have embraced a similar road.
I hope all is well with everyone else. I didn't realize how big of a battle this was for me until I felt the happiness of overcoming it.

Same as you little daddy ,I'm at about 5 months now
Me too I've begun a relationship with a nice bueautiful girl, and it been like 3 years I not had been in a relationship
Sometime I ask my self why did I kept on smoking and make my life harder for nothing for 8 years, all the highschool and college years blown in smoke.
Letting too much space to fear and not enough for love
Feels good to walk without this burden now,

I got high for 25 years. The first time I considered getting stoned caused me to suffer was when I was in bed with a woman.
For the 1st time in a quarter century, I could clearly see that smoking weed inhibited my ability to connect with others.

I've decided to stop smoking weed after years of use , it's been about 3 days and I'm somewhat content. I always had excuses for using .. it was either because I was riddled with heavy anxiety , depression , depersonalisation , self -pitty and hopelessness which have been the story of my life for the last 10 years ... Maybe I just need a girlfriend... But wait I don't know how to hold a conversation or be funny so the cycle continues . I always thought I felt that way because there was something wrong with me but could never figure it out ! I feel somewhat normal why can't I have a normal conversation with people ? .. then about 3 or 4 days ago I got offered a bowl of some of the dankest weed I've smoked in years.... It was too much for me I literally felt retarded , wanted to jump out of my skin type of anxiety and was extremely quiet and disconnected from the group.... Right then and there I realized what was causing my shitty circumstances it was the poor choice of indulging in weed when all it did was make me more of a loner more introverted and the cycle continues. I will never smoke weed again it's easy for me because I turn into a zombie and I get very anti-social with a foggy shit memory . Just started taking SAME-e. And will start working out today , I actually am proud of myself for making this decision I have failed at everything else in life....

L-Theanine is potentiated by caffeine. Good luck with finding it

Smoked once since December of 2010. Never ever dreamed in my most ambitious dreams that I would go this long without. I miss feeling positive. That's something that only coffee gives me, but it leads me to nervously drinking beer later in the day.
I swear no weed is going to kill me! Good thing I mostly toked in my 20's and hardly ever drank. I'm catching up on it now.
Mitigating risk is what I do. Still hoping for legal weed someday.

I've been reintegrating marijuana back into my life. I'm using it in a way that is in tune with myself. I now have the conscious ability to check in with how I'm feeling before I actually smoke. I've noticed what moods cooperate with smoking, and what doesn't. Now I go days on end without smoking because it's something I don't want to.
I'm not advocating smoking to anyone who's trying to quit here and it really took a long time and counseling for me to actually get to this point. When I smoked the other day to cure my nausea, I got a lot of anxiety and could not communicate with the server. It escalated pretty bad, she stopped making eye contact with me, and I began to feel overwhelmed and fell into an anxious loop. I knew going in I wasn't in the right mood and it was a good reminder that I have to be that way if I'm going to do it. Granted I did it with the risk in mind due to how I was feeling.
