Welcome to the First Post on my blog. I have been a marijuana smoker for the last 10 years. I plan to document my personal experience with marijuana addiction and my plan to quit smoking pot for good. This site is about one question How To Stop Smoking Weed?
I will also be sharing what I learn about drug addiction, treatment options, and health related marijuana issues.
It is time for me to change. I am getting sick of being stoned all of time. I don’t feel good about myself because I smoke so much pot. I have about 2 grams left. This will be the last of it. Forever. I know that I will need to make significant changes in my life to make this successful. More to come soon.
Have a great day!

so im trying to help my boyfriend stop smoking weed.. as a supportiv girlfriend what can i do to help him? would like advice from weed smokers that are doing well please
Firstly thank you to everyone who has posted – Loving the spiderman/venom metaphor from DJ. I myself have been smoking daily sine 14 and heavily since 16(after school!)I’m now 24. I have always thought that weed was a good thing to do, it made you one of the cool kids, your dad did it so it must be ok, your Sis gave you your first hit and she couldn’t have been wrong and of corse, rock and roll makes good f-ing sense! I love the smell of weed, the flavour loves my taste buds. I want to quit but I know that I will not be able to get back that which I have thrown away. that breaks me but the cycle must
end. 1 much love to all.
Try 40 years of daily use. I am ashamed to say it. People see me as successful but I know the truth. Deep down I feel helpless and I know de.that the worse part is the effect it has had on my relationships. It has been 4 days without waiting for my connection to supply. I hope he doesn’t text me. The depression is tough but I have to get through this and stop. All of you young people try and give it up so you can live up to your potential. I have done well in my life but I could do so much more. If I can stay away from it for at least 30 days I know there will be another person that will come out the other side.
I have a 3 year old boy, a 6 month old girl and my mom has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. I am 33 and have been smoking since I was 14. This is IT for me. It’s scary, but I am also comforted by 3 HUGE motivators: 1) I want my head and my life back 2) I want to live til I’m 112 for my beautiful kids (you younger stoners might be thinking about that sooner than you think!) 3) Cancer is now suddenly a big part of my life and being high is simply not worth it anymore.
i really want to stop smoking. i’ve been smoking for over 10years and i want to put those years behind me. I really need to stop
Started smoking on the weekends when I was 14, that turned into smoking everyday by 16…came across a lot of dealers and growers so i came across some great shit like haze and kush crosses..have been smoking atleast 3-4 blunts a day for 6-7yrs of some medical weed. I woke up yesterday feeling like there was just something else i’m missing and i needed to move on. Sitting here today I know for no other reason im going to quit because I want to. Nothing is making me do this other than the feeling i have inside and i know i can do it. Today is day number 1
After reading most of these comments I feel like I’m a bit slow in giving up the weed . I started smoking when i was 18,at first it was just on week-ends,but before too long it became everyday, I’m now 56 and smoked every day, week days wernt so bad,but on the week-end I would cut sick and smoke all day, Only wished I’d given up sooner. It has already cost me my first mariage and now my second mariage after 20 years is looking not too good, havent smoked for 14 days now,been tempted a few times.Only hope it lasts,quitting that is ………..
I have been a heavy daily smoker the last 11 years, and havent smoked in 36 hours. I have so much nausea and i feel physically sick. I do not havr trouble sleeping like some people have posted, but i am getting headaches, having trouble staying on my feet for a long period of time without getting sick,cant eat like at all i have no appetite, and i am throwing up even though it is only dry heaves.
tengo 29 años empecé a los 17, fumando muy poco hasta que me gustó y pensé esto es la felicidad!! eso me paso al 2 o 3 faso que fume, despues me meti de lleno a fumanchear todos los dias, tenia problemas en el colegio el ultimo año (aunque no me acuerdo si mis problemas los tenia antes del faso o después) despues tenia problemas con la gente, sentia una insatisfaccion muy grande en todos los aspectos de mi vida, realmente creia que no valia nada, estaba seguro de ser un perdedor y asi me siento ahora…desde el año 2006, año en que deje de fumar tabaco hasta el dia de hoy y la marihauna tambien la dejé en esa epoca. Pero dede finales del 2009, empecé nuevamente con el consumo, primero esporadicamente, fumaba como con miedo de volver a caer en el infierno de la adicción, asi que me controlaba muchisimo y sentia mucho temor a la droga, mientras algunas veces me surgia un impulso incontrolable irracional de volver a fumar marihuana y lo hacia, volvio a ser un vicio hoy noviembre de 2011 pasaron ya 2 años, este ultimo fue el de mayor consumo todo el año me drogué si bien hice algunas actividades las abandone por motivos diversos, gralmente mi disconformidad con la sociedad, mi enojo con todo, estoy enojado con todo pareciera, me pasé el año acá encerrado fumando y masturbandome y haciendo cosas muy improductivas, dejando pasar las fechas de examenes, posponiendo la materia final para recibirme, me pasaba tardes y dias enteros acá en la computadora tirando mensajes al cyberespacio, perdiendome de respirar disfrutar en sociedad, con la gente que me rodea, perdiendo me de disfrutar las pequeñas cosas de la vida…. sitiendome infeliz todos los dias.
Tengo problemas de tiroides y no se si atribuierselo a mis excesos con drogas, porque tambien fui adicto a las pastillas benzodiacepinas y antidepresivos, tomé cocaina o pala o merca, tambien tome LSD, alcohol con pastillas, popper, y hasta me atrevo a confesar que aspire poxiran en una oportunidad. Todo eso habia quedado atrás para mi era cosa del pasado, igualmente recai y ahora quiero dejar definitivamente, ya que la vida se me pasa por al lado y yo acá todo el dia falopeado, descuidando a mi novia que no sabe como hacer para dejarme mi vieja que me molesta con solo verla, las cosas que dejo de hacer, pienso en que dentro de uños mirare atras y me preguntare si “pudiera volver y no hacerlo” si pudiera volver el tiempo atras y no me quiero ver asi cuando sea viejo. Este descargo se termina acá y sigo mañana, prometiendo escribir algo todos los dias a modo de terapia online, estoy leyendo un blog con tips en ingles para dejar de fumar, leere todo lo que pueda y volcare mis ideas aca las compartiré con todos los que quieran dejar de fumar faso
I’m finally quitting.
I started smoking when I was 15, with head shop drugs and other stuff with friends on weekends. Since then I’ve moved towns for college and been smoking weed almost everyday. Would stop for maybe 3-4 on weekends when I couldn’t get any, because most of my dealers are in college. It’s only recently I’ve noticed how weed has been affecting my life. College work is going badly, I’m procrastinating on everything and just thinking about the next time I can smoke weed. I’ll convince myself I’ll work, and I do. Just enough to get by, and the second I’ve got my ass covered, I want to smoke weed. I resonate with everything written here. It’s horrible it really has taken over my life. I’m so glad I’m stopping. To anyone else reading this comment, just fucking do it dude. Goodluck!
Okay so heres my Story, im 13 years Old and smoke weed eveyday. 1-2 Joints, this is because of my genarally light tolerance, but i feel it growing, and this is starting to cost me and because i get an allwance of 80 francs(swiss money) 50 of which goes on weed then 10 in cigs and the other 20 is on my munchies. So im broke and am starting to be a bit dry on weed, ive told my mom and she said that she wont give me money anymore and this is a problem because i HATE the withdrawl symptoms, they fucking hurt so much. I also cant come up with any ideas unless im blazed. I dont know what to do, i heard of this thing called legal bud, which is a “legal” bud. Of course i know theres no thc inside it but apprently it stills produces a “high” and this shit is 4 times cheaper then weed, its not an illegal substance and it might be asubstitute to weed, which could get your addiction off. But i dont know, so for now im still blaziing 2-5 times a day. Peace out
What up this is a streetwear designer.
I need to quit because I have actually achieved my dreams high (starting my own clothing line). But now that I`m here I notice that I need to be sober and super motivated to make this company work and weed has not helped me. I have lost families over drugs I have been deported out of a country cause of drugs. I`ve been smoking weed for over 9 years. And I had a perfect girl and her son as a family and lost it cause of my drug problem. I have my parents in the States while I`m in Mexico because of my drug problems. The thing is weed is a good drug to ease the pain and it makes my 3 times as creative as a designer. But I can`t make this company run like I would like plus a lot of people depend on me. I plan on becoming successful and getting my act together. I missed out on life and I`m 26 and time is running out cause I`m not a healthy person. I want to know that I will make a difference most of all cause I have a girl that is pregnet and she wants nothing to do with me but I want to be there for my kid at least and show his grandparents that I`m not just some drugie. I have ideas but I have no motivation I want out of this cycle and start a new life but one day at a time it`s not going to be easy but I will prevail since I`m going 18 months sober off of alochol after becoming an acoholic at a young age and now with weed it`ll just be a ciggertte here and there. I want to live life and see what is out there I have some time and I want to enjoy this time right and feeling good inside and not like a loser.
Hello,
Tomorrow is going to be my first day starting my new life. I have many reasons, and I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences. I have taken everything you have said into consideration and feel that I am more prepared to quit now.
I have been smoking every day straight for the last 10 years. I find that I am constantly worrying about not having weed or being in a situation where I can’t smoke; I am tired. I have realized that this childish habit of mine is really just a nuisance, and the high isn’t what it used to be. It costs monumental amounts of money, especially with the amount that I consume in a week. These are my main reasons that I am going to quit, but I will spare you the others.
The longest I have went without smoking weed has been at most four days. So I am both excited and nervous to see what the next week will bring for me. I am ready for the withdrawal symptoms, and I feel that I can overcome this, and turn my life around.
Thanks,

Hey,
I am back, almost through day one. This hasn’t been so bad too far, I have had a few cravings to smoke. The cravings are mostly from my triggers like after eating, before watching a movie and first thing in the morning. Other than that no symptoms of withdrawal. I will see how I sleep tonight!
I am going to keep posting here every day until I feel I am strong enough to leave this habit behind me safely. It is the holiday season so I have lots to keep me busy and will be around family and friends. Support is always nice over the holidays, even though no one knows I smoke, it will still be nice to be around sober minded people. Plus it’s Christmas, plenty of booze to go around to keep my mind off it
I wish everyone the best, again would like to extend my thanks out. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays being green free!
Thanks,

Hello,
Well none of my previous comments have passed moderation yet
I’m assuming Joel is one busy dude! Anyways I’m almost through day four, so far so good. I have again been keeping myself busy, to the point where I can’t stop and think about it. This seems to be helping keep the withdrawal symptoms to a minimum. The only major complaint I have thus far is my sleeping is a little off. I seem to wake up once every couple hours, and am a bit restless. This is the worst of my symptoms so far!
I am trying to take it one day at a time, to fight off this addiction. My cravings have been minimal and when they do arrive, I try to dismiss them in my mind with positive thoughts. Telling myself that the cravings are just my body telling me i’m missing something, rather than my mind needing it; seems to help. It is Christmas time as well so friends and family (non-smokers) have been really supportive. My girlfriend is amazing and is really helping keeping me occupied if you know what I mean
Anyways, I will report back, hopefully my comments finally get posted. At least this is a nice outlet for me to write me feelings and experiences to get them off my chest. Even if the posts don’t go through this seems to be helping! Writing about your feelings and thoughts is new to me, and really takes my mind off smoking. Best of luck in the new year everyone.
Thanks,

I just want to start by saying,Im Quiting,TODAY
Plan After Quitting: Joining the Airforce,I scored a 57 out of 60 on my ASVAB,so the only thing standing in my way is the thc in me,but in waiting for that to go away,Im imagining all the blunts I could have smoked,or how it be so cool if the military let me in even though I “blow dro”
im 18 years old,no job,pregnant girlfriend living with me at my moms house,this is not me,I used to be a “distributor”,so smoking lots of weed was ok,but recently I stopped because my girlfriend got pregnant,and if I go to prison,how can I support my seed?
I used to be so ambitious,now Im a lazy pothead,losing the awesome body I toned for military use,it makes no sense,BUT TODAY IS THE DAY,I PROMISE YOU ALL THAT
I’m getting ready. So glad I found you! READy ReAdY rEaDy ready REaDDY. Thank you for your pioneering efforts.
Well here I am day two. 30 hours gone and thats the longest ive gone in over 8 years since my daughter Emma died. She would be proud I think that Im doing this. So far the main issue has been cravings and insomnia. I only slept about 2 hours last nite. I own a pizza place so ive scheduled myself a ton of hours to help pass the detox time. It seems to have helped some. My wife has been great despite me already being moody. I beat a crack habit with her help about 10 years ago but even tho i was a heavy crack user($1000 a week) quitting that was nothing compared to how hard this is. Pot was a facet of every part of my life so i know it will take some time to feel normal again but I am doing it dammit one hour sometimes one minute at a time. I have a myriad of reasons to quit but most important is we promised Emma that we were going to try and adopt. We didnt get to before she died and now its time so i have to clear a test. But i can tell that once i get through this I wont ever go back to pot. Ive smoked since i was 12 years old although it wasnt until Em died that it became constant. Just the shock of being sober again has been weird but i got used to being hi every day i can get used to being sober again. After the pot i have one addiction left,cigarettes. That will be a doozy im sure but im focusing all my energy on quitting the pot first. Then we’ll battle that last demon in due time. Thanks to all of you and be strong you and I CAN do this.
