Trying to get motivated to develop a more productive lifestyle. Used since age 15 and have been pretty successful for following 25 years with no serious problems. I have hit some challenging walls though recently and need to be better in several ways to get past it. Chronic pain has caused me to rely on relief too much to get through the day and changed recreation to necessity which sucks.

I'm now going on one week sober. I'm climbing the walls, feeling depressed, angry, desperate,edgy, and just not "normal". Funny how over time being stoned out of my mind all day is "normal", and now being sober and having non-dulled feelings is the weird thing. The only thing I keep myself moving forward with is thinking about is many of the things you have outlined here. Loss of money, damaged relationships, bad health (I've gained nearly 80 pounds since the day I started smoking and now have type-2 diabetes), and I'm one failed drug test away from losing my well-paying job. It's just that marijuana has been such a huge part of my life, half of my entire life to be exact, that I can't imagine living without it. I can't imagine living without some sort of buzz. Coming home from work every day isn't nearly the same because I don't have the rewarding smoke to look forward to. I feel like doing the things I enjoy doing won't feel the same because I used to always do them high. I can only hope that some of these feelings will subside over time and I'll start feeling a little bit more human (lol). But as of right now this is the hardest goddamned thing I've ever done. Thanks for this site, as many of the other sites I've looked at in regards to quitting are from a perspective of a medical professional/rehab person offering suggestions to quit. This site is more personal because it's essentially one addict to another. Not everything here is a victory over weed addiction, you share your failures as well as any good progression you make. It's an example of real life, not some site full of namby-pamby platitudes and unrealistic goals. I'll be sure to keep up with your struggle and feel free to contact me any time via email.

It seems to help to lock yourself away from the places and people your associate with who smoke. It is hard to miss your friends, but your real friends will still be there when you are feeling better. I understand your despair, as I have been through it many times.
