kicking the weed

i have a 4 year smoking habit, both weed and cigarettes.
i need to kick weed. then cigarettes.
i made the descision today in a dream before i woke up that i need to stop being a pothead.
what has worked for you or anyone you may know?
it is not an option for me to distance myself from smoking friends and family.
i really think it has been blocking me from doing many things. i want it to not be somethihng i do very often at all.
i think maybe i will start programming monthly trips to help me do this.

i havent smoked pot in a little over 2 weeks now. i started smoking when i was about 13 and in between now and then the only other time i quit was for about 2 months when i was on probation. im enjoying the sober life. the reason i stopped this time is because i am job searching and i really cannot afford to fail. however i have a feeling that once i do get a job and its safe to smoke again, i will not. im sure i will smoke occasionally. but i think this is the beginning of a new phase in my life. i am looking forward to it.
i smoked cigs from the age of 13 as well, and i finally kicked those about 3 years ago.

i had been smoking for 4 years
i stopped my daily habit a little before new years, and have made a few exceptions over the last month (birthday, new years, close friends i haven't seen in a while)
but honestly, all the motivation you should need to quit is how amazing your mind and body will feel afterwards. just remember, it's going to take some time for your chemistry to adjust to not having thc in your system...and sleep may be difficult for the first week or so
i never thought i'd be one who turned my back on such a wonderful chemical and beautiful plant but...

I'm going on a break for about a month. Got a court date that I may or may not have to be drug tested, but I'm not going to risk that shit. Quitting pot shouldn't be hard as long as you're still in control, rather than handing the power over to the pot.
As for cigarettes, good luck with that one. Unlike pot, cigarettes physically alters your brain function and it produces withdrawal symptoms when you stop smoking. One thing that may help that is reducing the frequency you smoke. I highly recommend a hookah. While it will pretty much deliver the same amount of nicotine as a pack or 2, if you only do it once or twice a week, you'll be breaking the habit of smoking. Then you can cut back your dependency.

i just feel that being high is way less inconvenient that being that pseudosober after high that weed gives.
im just going to make it a friday night saturday type thing from now on and see if shit gets better.
i dont want to not smoke weed ever, but i have realized i cant be doing it on days where i have shit to do.

that is horrible fucking advice
pong: don't stop one habit and pick up another. if you start using alcohol (even only one beer or a shot) to go to sleep, soon you will need it to go to sleep just like with cannabis.
ride it out, man. it sucks not sleeping well for a week and will affect your performance, but it'll be better for your body and mind

I quit smoking weed a few years ago, and doing so had a real positive effect on my life.
