How am I going to Stop Smoking Weed?

by admin on November 18, 2007

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!

My boyfriend and I want to have a baby, he smokes mostly because I always have pot and I smoke around him, so in a way I´m affecting his life negatively and yet he loves me so much, he subconsciously looks past that fact. I am pretty selfish, but this boy.. I have never loved someone so much in my life. And it is depressing to see how weak I am in regards to quitting pot. I´ve always wanted to be a mother and I fear I am messing up my chances of getting pregnant, marihuana affects womens hormones, ovulation and menstrual cycles. This makes getting prego dificult, not to mention if affect mens sperm count ( sorry for mentioning this ) but its so damn informative. i have been moking for about 8 or 9 years. i am 24 and pot while great when younger, its out of controlnow and i have no one to blame but myself. its frustrating and i am determined to turn this around, I am 24 years old. I dont want to get to 34 and have 20 years of marihuana abuse on my sholders. i really dont. my first post. thanks

But secretly I’m so addicted to weed and I seriously can’t stop its fucked!!! I love the high but I know I need to stop!!! HELPPPP!!!!

I have been an almost constant stoner for around 19 years – Im 31!!! I decided to stop smoking mainly because my friends hate me being stoned and I can barely remember conversations that happened the previous day, I hardly ever phone my family or friends (I live overseas). I stopped smoking 11 days ago and I am not missing it one bit but I am struggling to not cry about, well most things but mainly about the years I have wasted. I feel lucky that I havent lost jobs but I have certainly lost relationships due to it – some of them were probably better to have ended but some…. who knows!? it would have been nice to have seen how they would have panned out.
I do know that Im 31, single and feeling pretty lonely right now!! I have lots of friends, who are mainly non-stoners, which is great although right now I wish someone could just understand how sad and lonely I feel – my friends are just happy Im not smoking anymore and just kind of feel that Im alright now – which Im not!
I know I will be and that keeps me going but Im kind of losing it, quietly – my mind that is, not my ability to keep off the weed.
I know I will never smoke again and I feel so great about that but like I say, right now I feel so very down! I feel so sad for myself, looking back at a 12 year old little girl who thought she was just doing something harmless and fun – I couldnt have been further from the truth!!!!! I really want to reconnect with my friends and family back home but I just feel so pathetic for letting my life get to this point, that I dont know how to start. Also for the friends that do know me as a stoner – will it just be another time of me saying Ive stopped AGAIN?! which it is not. I have stopped before for a few weeks and months over the years but never like this – I suppose its really hit me that I should be a little more settled down, maybe even with kids and that Ive just wasted so many opportunities to do this! I know that all this is due to some form of drug induced depression but that does not make these feelings any less real and painful right now – any tips on how to get over this quicker would be much appreciated!! I just stopped by the way – cold turkey, no cutting down or medication and Im really feeling it.
On a brighter note – I am NOT a stoner anymore :D
Good luck to you all – please stop wasting this one and only life you have x

Fellow quitters,
Im almost 18 and have been smoking weed (heavily) for about 2 years, from looking at this website i am stopping smoking weed tomorrow. Obviously i have been thinking about it for a while but i think now is the right time, i dont want to be clogged up anymore. I also feel as if i have lost alot of emotion since i started, i also think others have noticed that in me too.
Any other advice or tips to help me stop? …as im planning on going cold turkey!

cyrene September 19, 2011

my earliest memories are sitting with my parents at the age of 4 getting a contact high! I started smoking weed once I graduated high school. I am 33 now and I have a 13 year old daughter. I have decided to quit smoking weed for alot of reasons. She is my number one. When she was little I could hide it, now she looks down on me because I am a pot head. I love being stoned but at waht cost? the loss of respect from my daughter. It is going to be really hard. I constantly want it. One day at a time!

ash1 October 10, 2011

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 :)

Charl October 19, 2011

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.

Mike November 2, 2011

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. :grin:

tee boy November 15, 2011

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

Mike November 18, 2011

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

Mick November 20, 2011

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 ………..

big rudy November 22, 2011

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

James November 23, 2011

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!

Philip December 8, 2011

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.

One Day At A Time December 23, 2011

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,

One Day At A Time December 24, 2011

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,

One Day At A Time December 27, 2011

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” :grin:
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

Blythe January 6, 2012

I’m getting ready. So glad I found you! READy ReAdY rEaDy ready REaDDY. Thank you for your pioneering efforts.

Nick January 24, 2012

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.

Connor January 30, 2012

hey, im a 17 year old kid and have been smoking for about 2 years but only daily for one year. it feels like i always have to be high no matter what even if im tired, mad, happy, going to school, or whatever. sometimes i know i wont enjoy my high but i smoke just because i love it. i know its wrong and have had the problem where i say “This is my last time smoking” but it never works. Its hard because weed is always around me being in a pretty rough high school where many kids smoke. I need some advice to help quit with moods being very bad, grades dropping, and money issues.

Kelly March 24, 2012

Hello out there I’ve smoked for years, twenty two to b exact. Every day. Been through countless relationships loosing them thinking that it was them nd not me. How on earth could it b me right I’ve got a job nd a car nd well that’s all ive got. due to the fact that I’ve burnt every nickel that I’ve made I have no house no nest egg nd about to lose another girlfriend. I’ve lied waaaaaaay to much about the weed I’ve smoked to the girlfriends that I’ve had. Saying that I’m not smoking or I’m going to quit. I’ll tell you right now that if u r lying to anyone about it u r lying to yourself! I’ve lied to myself for far to long now. lately I’ve been giving a ride to a coworker nd we’ve been smoking on the way to work doin the old wake nd bake. meanwhile building trust between my girlfriend nd I saying that I haven’t been smoking. She was getting close to believing in me then she finds out that I’ve just been lying to her about it again. I swear she should’ve been a judge. She is hurt nd feels manipulated about what has been going on with my morning smoking nd the rollercoster that I’ve put us on telling her that I don’t want to b a pothead (I really don’t) but wave a joint in my face nd I’ll puff on it till I can’t even breathe. I really don’t want to b an everyday smoker to b able to control it nd not have it control me is my objective. As it HAS controlled me. everyday i wonder when id b able to go get blasted. Nd if i dont get to smoke im a jerk to the loved ones that ive surrounded myself with. They dont deserve that at all when i am clear headed nd not thinking about weed i am actually a good guy, not sleeping all night when i should b awake spending time with my beautiful family not passed out on the couch. Socially might b alright but now upon reflection when I do smoke most of the time I just lay around nd crash out! so socially that doesn’t make a very coveted guest now does it? I have a very addictive personality nd have managed to pull away from the harsh drugs that take way less time to destroy lives. telling those people that do use cocaine crack nd meth that they’re silly for using it. Weed doesn’t do that lmao am I ever wrong about that one! People who say weed isn’t addictive are wrong I am proof of that! It’s not like narcotics by any means but it does, however, change you usually for the worse. It consumes ones thoughts makes a person think that they need it. It makes food taste better, u think, it makes doing crappy jobs fun, u think, it makes life tolerable, u think. Truth is the foods taste is masked by weed taste buds are screwy due to smoking. Crappy jobs take longer to do so your stuck doing what you don’t enjoy doing longer. Life is wonderful without weed more energy more positive thoughts faster job completion clear thinking. The ability to hold conversations is a whole world that for many has been clouded with brain numbing weed conversations about useless bubblegum. There is a whole world out there that many people, myself included, have let slip by unnoticed in their smoke induced haze. I am moving in a direction away from it controlling me and my life! I do not need it in the mornings I do not Need it to sleep I do not need it to eat! The first week I know the food is going to taste completely different but I’m Going to eat it anyways nd in a week I will enjoy it more then when I was stoned! starting today is the beginning of the rest of my new life!

winner loser March 29, 2012

hi,
i’m 26.
i am so relieved that i read all this here. some of you sound exactly like my thoughts.
where i live, a gram costs 30USD.
i had my first joint when i was 17 and i really didn’t enjoy it and always kept a distance. later on during my last year of uni [age 23] i started haning out with friends/acquiantances who were regular smokers. i used to take a puff and pass out this went on for about a year until i fully started smoking/buying on my own. the next two years [until now] i’ve been smoking EVERYDAY. i have 1-2 joints a day [approx 0.3-0.5g per joint] and other days i smoke more than 2 grams and at the same time it’s very expensive and ‘dangerous’ to get weed here . my life is fucking up big time, even if it doesn’t seem so to others, i know that if people knew what was going on inside my head they would really freak out. i feel like i am creating a few identities and wearing them each time i go to a certain place. i.e. character #1 for location#1

a lot of people depend on me and ‘look’ for me. i was a really cool guy. people i met two years ago have a much better interaction with me than people who i have met recently. i’m a loser now.
i know how to act and how to deal with things because of accumulated knowledge/experiences but right now, i’m smoking and find my escape there therefore i deal with my problems with existing knowledge, i don’t look for new solutions, im at a standstill while life is moiving on and everyone is doing things, shaping their future etc.
all im doing is getting comfortably numb and reminding myself how successful i felt/WAS. i really feel sorry for myslef
on another note, at some point i was convinced that if i had a cheaper, greater supply, i wouldn’t be smoking daily, or for example, i wouldn’t smoke the bag at once.
“smoke it before it runs out” – that’s the most fucked up loop i cant get myself out of. if i had a greater supply i wouldn’t look for it as much. i wouldn’t crave it. i’d know that i have an ounce at home and that i can have a joint whenever i want.

anyway, i believe that marijuana FOR ME is not addictive but soothing my brain is.

whatever we do we must do it with measure

therefore i am now trying to reschedule/reprogram my life to smoke when APPROPRIATE [certain acitivities like going to the beach] or when the setting is right or when i have no other obligations to society after. instead of smoking to get through the day.

[i'm having a hard time writing this cause i'm not stoned]

John April 1, 2012

I am at the end of my rope….. I smoked weed because i thought my life couldent get any worst. grade 10 no friends, never had a girl friend, failing school, no job. Then i smoked weed and got some friends, it even helped to reduce my stress about school, girls, and getting a job.
Then i moved to a farm in the middle of no where. I am now 19 years old. I have no friends now, still no job, still no girl friend (virgin), STILL in school in a learning center, i weight 120 pounds (19 year old male) my 17 year old sister weights more then me. And now i spend my days scraping my bong and pipe just for a fix. Then i spend the rest of the day playing league of legends till i dont feel the slightest bit high, then i watch movies till i pass out.
I know am just ranting on about my pathetic life, but i really dont know what i should be doing…. I am so depressed latley that if i quit my bad habbits i might just kill myself, not because of quiting pot, but because of the embarrassment i have become, i dont know if i can stand to be around myself unless am high……….
Am my worst enemy.
I just want anyone whos reading this to not make the same mistakes as me. Right when you think things cant get any worst ……They can.

:shock: CAN’T SLEEP

Posted first time just a few hours ago, Its now 3am and can’t sleep . My brain is usually stoned so usually content doing nuffin. Tonite tho it is not and therefore my cranium is doing acrobatics at olympic standards.
I can remember from previous failed attemps at cold turkey that the boredom combined with my brain hurtin were a killah but this time I’ve lost that little voice in my head that tells me I will b smokin again tomora, So hopefully she’s (mary jane) got the message that I’m fa real this tim and packed her bag. Writing this post on my blackberrys tiny screen is making my eyes heavy so hopefully may be asleep soon. Soz guys if talkin rubbish now it just helps take edge off fings. Gona go now, try catch some much needed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzZZZZZ

I’m 68 years old and have been smoking pot for at least 40 of those years, and on top of that I’ve had type 1 diabetes since I was 10(insulin) dependent.
I control my diabetes very well but I smoke everyday, I need help.

Tomorrow is going to be my first day off, I’ve decided that I simply can’t keep living like this. For the fist time I’m willing do admit that I am an addict (at least when it comes to pot), and I simply can never smoke it again. God I’m scared…

Today is my first day. I haven’t smoked weed for about 20 hours. There have been no withdrawal symptoms as of yet. I feel great. I know the pain is coming though. Quitting is easy, Ive done it numerous times. Staying quit is the challenge I face. Wish me luck. I am not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight. It is going to be a challenge. I have been smoking pretty much everyday for the last seven years. I am tired of the life though. Weed dominates me. Not anymore though, today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am not going to give up this time. Nothing can stop me.

Today is day 2. Withdrawal symptoms are beginning to set in such as irritability. I am not happy. However, I did some hot yoga this morning to try an ease the pain. This isn’t going to be easy but I must stay the course. I was talking to a friend this morning about quitting and it almost made it worse. I was talking and thinking about weed. Holidays are here so I will do some drinking to take the edge off. However, when I drink all I can do is think about weed. Making matters worse, my inhibitions are greatly decreased bc Im drunk. I feel like I prolly should stay away from alcohol at this point but it is awfully hard. Wish me luck on Day 2.
