Today was a pretty good day. I ended up having a puff, which is not good, but I have identified the pattern that leads to these relapses and will close off that opportunity. I have some friends coming in to town this weekend, so I will be busy with them and be able to get a couple of days under my belt.
Next week, I am not allowed to go and hang out at the local pub. I may extend this all the way through to Christmas. Each time I have messed up, it has been from meeting up with folks there. This is clearly an old habit and way of thinking that I need to change.
I did, however, sleep like a baby last night. In my first week, I went from smoking about 25 times to only 3. This is progress. Progress is all I am looking for, perfection comes later.

ok admin, what i read from u is like youre reading my mind, no need to say much i havent been able to or even really tried hard to quit, i am at a point where it just does not give me a good high, it´s an obstacle in my life and i´ve been doing it 4 20 years straight, mi mind feels tired, my soul needs a change, so i will try to make my clean date on dec 1st, today and tomorrow will be transition, but i will begin sharing my expereince here cause i´ve had enough.
Right on Cholo-Barco. We will get through this. If you are interested in writing a piece or article on here, you are welcome to. I think its important for people to know they are not alone, so the more stories we can share, the better.
sure man, i´ll be sending u one, i think u should talk of how the media sells us an image or pot where its ok to like addictes, bob marley, coffe shops, the whole hippie culture, rastafarians, i mean when i was a 15 year old punk i thought being like bob marle was awesome, like a fucking role model, when one is a punk kid at 15 we have no responsability or we have no notion of anything and smoke pot like stupid, thats really bad, i think the media sucks, it has a lot of responsability also, in the way marihuana is portrayed, cool to be fucking rasta!!!, yeah, bob marle can kiss my butt, and most rastafarians are thiefs, in poverty and addicted, to me being a rasta is a lie.
i also think u shuld talk on a spiritual way how it harms us, or i can write it down, how our energy channels are all fucked up cause of the addiction
also of the narcotrafick, when we buy pot we make the criminal organizations richer, and they become richer cause of our addiction, and thats being a part of the shitstem also, we are their lambs cause of our addiction.
happy day

u going from 25 times/week to 3 times/week should show you that this is not an “addicting” “drug.” It’s all in your head. Tell yourself you don’t need it and you won’t.
Personally, i think everything with moderation is a good thing, or an improvement to everyday life.
Junk food, for example, is very bad for you when over-comsumed, we all know that. But a dq blizzard once a month isnt a bad thing, and can be a nice treat. Just like weed, do anything too much and the negative side effects will obviously outweigh the benefits.
Know your limits, and stay inside them.
It can be very hard at first, not falling into the same routine of smoking another 10 bowls or joints or w/e after you’ve finishised off the first one, Or staying sober after you wake up.
Its all about how you want to live your life, whether you want weed to be a part of your life, like everything else, or something that completley controls you.
Everything gets easier to do once it becomes routine.

I quit smoking weed 6 months ago, and it has really been a bumpy ride with lots of ups and downs. (currently on a down, i was 100% back to normal at two points)
I smoked for approx 2 months quite regularly, then quit cold turkey.
It was truly horrific in the beginning, and for some reason you tend do bump in alot with your old smoking buddies which makes quitting permanently so much more difficult.
Also a strange phenomenon, i seem to have become very sensitive to “catching” peoples high while out in town, and people think im high when im not.
its pretty strange, everybody noticed when i quit smoking but nobody noticed anything when i was high.
this is such a bizarre experience
Bizarre
