Now the question on everybody's mind is, are you going to change your user name now that you aren't the "digitydankman" anymore? :grin:  Glad to see that it is working out for you, and it just means there's more for me now. :cool:

The name will remain the same, but underneath I am no longer a "cannabis connoiseur." I am feeling better and better as the days go by and find myself doing more. Quite strange I managed to get sick after quitting, as I would normally think that mj would lower my immune system. The interesting thing is that I was around this sickness for months while smoking and within a week after quitting, I find myself with a respiratory infection.

I would also like to say to everyone that tells themselves "One more day, just one more day," you are almost to your breaking point and sooner or later, if you are serious about quitting, you will wake up and be done. I went for two weeks telling myself "one more day" and finally that last day came around. You will feel better when you quit, it just takes time to realize.

I haven't read every reply but this is what I did about addiction - I gave up.
I stopped with all the antiquated "No you musn't! Oh you'll die! Oh my! Oh my! You can never touch it again! Oh my!" (Let me rub yo boody...) it was passe and ridiculous. So now I have addicts health group. This is easy to do:
Forget all that pop psychology dr. phil crap that, in my opinion has very limited value and isn't even real healing - just sugar crap and hell, I can have a paper that's better than dr. phil for $20...it will last longer than his cures too if it's any good!
Just gather resources and samples in simple formats about wellness of persons who use a lot of dope. Hydration, vitamin and electrolyte replacement, nutrition, avoiding disease - like junkies wanna hear this? Yup - because you get higher better and have a better ability to score - that's step one. Now at least you begin to adopt habits that actually help you even before your personal goals change, and you might actually live to change your mind.
Don't make your group a childish, hippocritical shame-in - Nobody gets better that way in my opinion. Just have good, non judgemental stuff and have faith that if people keep coming their own ideas, coping skills and other things will develop (like their own immune system you see) I don't think there should be much time wasted on all the old time "This is ma terrible story and all the mess I done" - because why? Let your conversation develop about real things that people actually face and feel, however common or unspectacuar they may seem at face value. People often learn to better care for themselves after they have come to care for others. Seeing the validity in others they award at least as much to themselves - and we have another incidence of self healing behavior replacing self defeating behavior without resistence. That's step 2.
Lots of addicts I have known end up getting isolated and there's more to "quitting" than detox....by creating attractive as possible open resource and sharing environments and minimizing the "pressure" - (God it's hard to be a junk with all those non-junk well meaners gonna save ya, and then you gotta listen to yourself on top of it - who wouldn't want a bump?) and casually facilitating a greater re-integration (realization?)with the rest of us in the caste and character that each comes to dwell in - after the long run - when we can live with it.
Don't fight that monkey - you can't win. Carry him if you have to while you move towards more. Eventually, he dies because you don't love him anymore - you've grown apart. You love more -
Take care addict people, may you find shalom in your own soul tonight.

Well after getting scared shitless by the po, I decided I needed a way to beat the probation tests I would be taking.  I have now passed two using substitution and I guess I could go on with my habits, but after my last mushroom trip I broke down my mental addiction to marijuana and the lifestyle I lived for far to long.  I have been a multi-daily (4-5x) smoker for years and I really feel that I need a brake.  Unfortunatley for me my addiction will not let go.  It has been a week since I decided I was goin to quit.  I can not do it.  Every day since I have smoked.  It is not because I do not think of marijuana as a problem, I fully realize I am addicted to it and how it has changed my life ($, relationships, probation).  I would like to be able to quit and never even consider using again, everyday I tell myself one last day.  It is becoming rediculous, and my life is crashing before my eyes and the weed is my solution everyday.  Wow, now the circle is complete and I can see it.  Weed = my failure which = more smokin weed. I guess babbling your brains out can help.  Any support will be gladly appreciated and welcome, and I woud love to hear some positve stories of your cessation to give me some more inspiration.
