Hey guys,

It's crazy I just came on here to make my fist thread on this forum and then I immediately saw this thread which is basically exactly what I was going to make.  Anyways, I'm 19 years old going on 20 and I have been smoking daily for around 3 years now and I am ready to slowly quit/heavily reduce my habit. 

For me what I have noticed is very similar to many of your stories.  Like many of you, I love weed.  I love it so much that I smoke it every day before I do any task usually, simply because I enjoy the headspace and feel no harm in doing it because I am able to be productive and get things done still.  At the same time in the back of my mind I often think about how without weed I would find so many other things to do, and how maybe it isn't the best thing for me to be smoking all the time. 

While I only smoke around an eighth a week, I still smoke multiple times a day and get fairly high each time.  Around a year ago I got a pretty bad concussion which somewhat catalyzed this idea around weed possibly not being the best thing, as it often made my head hurt after the injury and I still get very high from a small amount since the concussion.

Anyways, while I love weed, I feel like at going on 20 years old I am ultimately going to hold myself back from my full potential if I sit around in college and just smoke weed at a heavy rate.  For a while I have gone through a cycle of smoking until I feel I become semi-dependent on it, which at this point I admit I am, and while it isn't the worst dependency it is indeed one and I am beginning to feel that clouds my head and thoughts. Through the cycle I often take 2 week to month long breaks when I feel I have  been smoking too much, and while the first few days always suck, I begin to feel great after just a week of not smoking.  Sitting around and not thinking about the things that are wrong in my life (often pertaining to my health which I have been working on for a while, won't get into it), go away and I find myself being more active and especially meditating very often as well as doing yoga, which are two activities I often stray away from when I am smoking, an interesting thing to note.

Anyways, if anyone read this I hope it helped you in some way as I'm sure you're on this thread for a reason and probably have had some similar feelings.  I'm not sure completely where I'm at with weed yet because I do still love it and so many of my friendships are "tied" to it and while it sounds sad, it will be weird to hang with some of my friends when sober.  At the same time I plan to reduce my smoking habit greatly and start that with a hiatus of 1 month to 3 months.  I would love to be able to just smoke once or twice a week but I've tried that many times and it always goes back to daily.  I'm shooting for that this time but if I fail again it will soon be time to quit for good as I am done with the cycle that the sweet Mary is putting me through.

Peace and love

glad you were able to go through with making an account and ur first post

once you start you'll find a hard time to stop posting!

anyways i read thru what you wrote and it was very similar to our experiences here

the first step in controlling your cannabis consumption is recognition that it can have a negative impact on your life despite what other posters have chimed in.

*cough*

if completely stopping cold turkey is too difficult, then try to slow down your consumption!

maybe don't get baked as soon as you wake up and try to hold out for as long as you can... even if thats only 2'o clock in the afternoon :shrug:

another thing that helped me was finding other passions in life that give me as much enjoyment as cannabis. I found what I was looking for, you just can not be afraid to try something new! dancing and singing was just one of those things for me, brah

...but whatever floats ur boat, im not going to say this will work exactly for you but you catch my drift.

anyways welcome to the fam and i hope you find the support you are looking for!

:snowman:

Hello, im Ryan

I used to be a part of those who didnt believe weed could ever be addicting only to find out its just not physically addicting but still is addicitive.

I have been smoking pretty much daily since i was 15 and im now 21 the longest ive gone without was a little over a month for a job and quitting was easy because i had a job and a girlfriend to keepe occupied.

I started back up telling myself i would only smoke 1 time a month but ended up falling back into the habit heavy again.

I have altogether probably gone 2 months not smoking of you add up all the times i had to take breaks.

I feel very addicted and it bothers me alot that i feel so uncomfortable without weed and like i cant focus on anything until i get weed.

I love cannabis and im not against nor will i ever be but i just want control back of my life.

When i quit for a month there was a time where i though maybe i can grow past it but then after a little over a month and after i passed my drug test i had cravings to do it again.

When i did it was much stronger of a high since i had zero tolerance and it was incredibly psychedelic in ways and i kept chasing that state of mind until it just turned into smoking for pleasure which is not all that pleasurable when you spend all pf your money on it.

I dont have my job anymore and am in the middle of trying to get one but i feel so depressed and THAT is what keeps me unmotivated and i smoke to make up for that and get my mind off it and it digs me deeper and deeper.

Im asking for any advice on how to get past this intense desire to smoke weed or some example on some free hobbies or past times, or things that can hrlp get me motivated and just get moving in life.

I hope i made sense

Weed is briging you deeper in a hole wich you wont be able to come out so fast if you continue so.
Do some exercising/meditate instead of smoking/yoga/est well/socialise/go outside.

I stopped weed because it doesnt get me anymore to the point i want it as before.

Just pass on to alcohol a time and then your craving will get less and less. You get addicted mentally and physically and your brain is now on the stop of thinking i guess because you could only have a clear head on weed.

Let time pass by do the things i suggested and you will get better and you can achieve a life with less consume.
Smoke once a month and get yourself as a present some goodies and smoke all the night out as reward :smile:


Thats my advice keep on

Peace

Thank you

I try drinking beer every so often and i kinda like the stimulation from it but it doesnt last long and im not big on alcohol at all.

I want to be at a point where i only smoke every great once in awhile or just holidays or parties what have you.

But i know i need a good long break like really long break in order to rid myself of this desire.

Thank you i have an excercise plan i neglect to do anymore all the time

Just that first step is the hardest yknow

Wish me luck ill probably report back woth how its going in a month or so

Lisamasllama, glad you reached out homie. A hiatus seems like an idea worth trying. I, unfortunately, have tried hiatuses too, and, like you said, resort to going back to daily smoking typically. Maybe in the future that will change.

It seems like everything you're saying parallels what happens to me... I meditate more, stop worrying so much, am more stoked about other natural highs in life. Maybe when you keep gaining more control over your life you can extend that to marijuana, but it seems like its beneficial for you to give it up altogether for a while.

How do you plan on doing so?

I personally don't advocate replacing drugs with another as that doesn't address the issue of craving for the drug, it just addresses the superficial manifestation of the craving. Exercise is a great alternative. Many here find help in meditation, but if that isn't doing it for you there are plenty of other activities you can get involved in.

Pot made me really anxious before I ceased, so that motivated me quite a bit to stop as it interfered with flirting and other relationships. Now that I've quit, I've started seeing a girl somewhat seriously for the first time in years and I've made a bunch of new friends. Communicating deeply with other people is a feeling that beats out being high anyday and leaves a more extensive satisfaction.
