quiting

So I'm quiting smoking pot for a while. I want to stop because portions of my life aren't going as good as I'd like them to. Its going on day two now and I know that that is not long at all but I'm already noticing rather negative results. I get really angry easy, walking around the house kicking and hitting things. And my reasoning for getting that angry isn't good aether i.e. accidentally pressing multiple undesired keys on the computer(such as trying to press the g key and hitting h and b), having to deal with animals in my way, not having what I want.
I've never really had anger problems before this but that's due to my complete neglect of feeling anger what so ever. I mean some times, while I still smoked, I would notice that in situations that would cause severe anger in most people I wouldn't feel any anger at all. That seems like a good thing but I really don't think so and its hard to explain why.
As for positive effects I haven't noticed anything, it's really making me want to start back up. I'd like to last at least a week but I don't know if I would like some of the things I would do or say to those close to me. Are these signs of addiction that I should bury and continue to a better tomorrow, or are these signs that pot IS for me and that I shouldn't stop?

i smoked pot every day for YEARS, until april 29, 2006. so ive been 17-18 days sober now, things are alright bro. ive definitely saved up some cash. my mind is beginning to clear up now. i was just tired of not being so sharp all the time. but i definitely feel GREAT about myself for stopping this. the first week can be rough, but it blows over. hang in there buddy, its not the end of the world. just think.. if the drug is stronger than you, than what kind of person are ya?

I'm trying to quit too... It's the hardest thing I have ever tried in my life. I don't even know why I started smoking that much in the first place. Marijuana is okay from time to time, but gets really in the way after abusive usage.
I like quitting stories better than tips, so that I can relate to them. I want to tell my quitting story to a person trying to quit weed abuse someday, too.

We do know it's just weed, but our brains won't cooperate.

I don't think pot can be accurately described as "addictive", but if you're experiencing all kinds of hardship when you stop, that's a problem. Not feeling anger when you should is just as bad as being overly angry. Feeling no emotion is bad. I don't think pot is to take all the blame for this, but I don't think it's helping.
Your goal is to not smoke for a week. Keep that goal. But you need to challenge yourself further. Okay, so you're not smoking for a week. Well, saying you're not going to do something isn't as helpful as saying you are going to do something else instead. Find something to do that keeps you sober and keeps your mind off pot. Do this for a week, because you owe yourself that. See how you are then.
If you don't keep your promise to yourself, you will regret it until you step up and do it. So you might as well do it now.
I don't mean to sound like an anti-drug ad or anything, but I've never found taking a break from pot to be a bad idea.

i have, it was much harder, whats your point? this thread is about weed not heroin. when you have 3 plants growing upstairs its a hard thing to stop. some people have some bad problems with weed. ever been to a rehab? i have, not for weed, but a lot of people brought themselves there for it, seems like the person who started this thread has an issue.
for me i wanted to quit badly. and that makes it easier. usually i cant get past the 10 day mark but i dont see myself smoking for awhile.

Iv been sober for over 4 months now and In that time I decided school wasnt for me, good bad choice I dont know but from others point of view bad. I am now ticking a lot, were when you get an emotion you do something with your hands or body without you even noticeing till you catch your self. Everyone says durring one wc3 game I do it about 30-50 times. As when a stoner I did not do it. I get pissed off a lot lately. I get stoned if I walk into someones house that has had weed smoked in it within the last 30 minutes. Wich has only happened once. Wich was just the other day. All in all quiteing sucked in more ways than one and I have to not smoke bud cause I don't want to lose my GF cause of weed. I am slowly molding her into pro drug but it is fing hard.

its always a good idea, taking a 1 week break would help me out so much in the past. just remember, anything in excess is bad. i know theres a LOT of people here who think pot is ultimately good in every aspect, but too much is no fun at all. you get dull and all you do is sit, eat, and watch tv.... potheads, the true face of america

don't even begin to tell me that weed is tougher to quit than heroin.
if you don't want to quit smoking you won't quit smoking.

You need to be able to hear the word and be able to see it and get offered it and turn it down befor you can function normaly, in my opinion.

I'm impatient too. After waiting ten minutes and seeing one negative reply I started this exact thread in the "physical a mental well being" forum.
I've tried quitting before and I always start back up, I know that pot is'nt that addictave but it is/was a big part of my life. Compare it to a relation ship with the best person youve ever known, not even a girl freind, one of those people that just maters to you being taken away from you. After writing that I noticed that I've read others saying the same thing about pot and passing it off as that person is thinking way too deeply into it. But now that I myself am trying to quit I can see.
I don't want to stop smoking, I just want to be able to control it. I read around these forums about people going on and off a routine period of non-use like its nothing while I can say that I'm done with it and half an hour later be packing a bowl. That pisses me off so much.
But then again I'm a fucked up person in general. All my problems aren't actual problems, there inconveniences at most. The only problem I have is my personality, or, I don't know. I which my life were more original, I'm preparing to read the same replies that were given to the thousands of others that have gone through this very thing. I know what I need to do to fix my personality but I don't know where to find these, events. My circle of friends dislike mingling with other circles, but I don't want to blame this on my friends.
Fuck well I seem to have gotten off subject here and I'll never finish writing this post if i want to write everything that's on my mind so....whatever.
