Its all good, smoking weed all the time gets expensive and you get dependent on it to help you relax, cope, sleep...etc..
try a beer or two if you have a hard time sleeping, relaxing.
Start exercising, it gives you a natural high and you can relax naturally better and you dont stress as much.
I am starting to exercise more and lift weights..i smoke enough and drink beer enough. I can't be the one to talk, i have a hard time staying away from substances to get through life.

i never realized that the majority of my laid back attitude was due to the weed.

I toked nearly every day for 10 years.

I chose to quit in order to learn how to lucid dream.

It's been 7 months since I quit, and I'm just now noticing how simple things like food and music alter my consciousness.

It's true one can get just as high from certain breathing exercises as cannabis, only I come down immediately after I stop.

Look into Holotropic breathing and Pranayama...

It doesn't get any easier unless you replace it with something like meditation or exercise.

I smoke Salvia sometimes because it doesn't interfere with dream recall like cannabis, but it's just not the same.

Low dose mushrooms work as a good replacement, but then my dreams get too erratic.

I'm this close ][ to a relapse...

Know what's weird? The other night I was really stoned, went to bed, and had an extremely vivid and exciting dream which I recalled fully in the morning. I forget it now, of course, but if I'd written it down................

Low dosing kicks ass. ive always enjoyed it more then over doing it. And if i wanted to join the army i'd just go ahead and kill myself with an ied. and what is it about meditation that makes it a good replacement.

Tips for better sleep:

-Stop eating and drinking after 7 pm. Don't snack throughout the night. If you're near the end of the digestion process by the time you're in bed, your body is more relaxed and using less energy.

-Sit in meditation before bed, even if only for a few minutes.

-Get an exhausting exercise during the day, preferably between mid-morning and early afternoon.

-Stretch regularly throughout the day.

-Abstain from caffeine and sugar.

the motorcycle really isn't such a bad idea

going 150mph is the most natural high there is
it's better than xtc >.>

now do the math, if you're as bad as i
stopping tokin is going to make your wallet swell
start putting how much money you'd spend on weed everytime you wanna smoke in a little box

you'll have quite a bank soon :-P

I went from smoking the minute I woke to the last minute before I slept to smoking nothing.

To occupy my time I started jogging everyday.
I learnt to play the guitar.
I got xbox live and play on-line games.
I took up more days at work.

Theres always plenty to do. Its just breaking free of those old thought loops.

Makes me wanna quit too, I been a heavy smoker for 7 years now, and I think its kind of an addiction. Most my friends blaze all day and that makes it hard for me, I almost need new friends to make it easier, but I would never ditch my friends because I quit, but still it just makes it harder.

Anyway, quitting is a good idea, I would be so much better off without it, it's just that weed reality is more interesting then sober reality.

I mean I love weed, but for me its holding me back in alot of ways, some people can live life normally while smoking tons of weed, but I'm just not one of those people.
