I began when I was 19, and I'm 35 now. I'm on day 3, and it sucks. I always say "Never again" and then if I give in once, it's back to square one. I've been wanting to quit for awhile, but I was afraid of the withdrawal symptoms. This time around, I smoked daily for about 1.5 years. I take zoloft for clinical depression, which, thankfully works quite well so I really have no business messing around with weed. Anyway, I cleared out all of my stuff, and everything to do with pot. I'm drinking water like a fish, and I found that taking GABA supplements. http://naturalmedicine.suite101.com/article.cfm/natural_anxiety_relief_ltheanine_vs_gaba . Not an advertisement, just something I want to pass on as immensely helpful. Also, stretching or yoga, hot baths, and something for your hands like drawing or crochet (Can't tell you how many scarves I have made while withdrawing. Good luck to everyone here. It sucks, but it will end. I’ve been an on and off smoker -mostly on for the past 16 years. I began when I was 19, and I’m 35 now. I’m on day 3, and it sucks.

For the last 4 years, I have smoked multiple times a day, and it has gotten to the point where I would sneak weed and smoke alone and then smoke a blunt or two with my husband when he got home from work. I had been trying to quit for a year or two, but each time I would say OK this is my last hit, but every morning (as I smoked a bowl) I would say well how about one more day. Which turned into one more bag, one more ounce, one more year. Then my whole department was let go, and I lost my job. Now I had to quit because I obvously need a paycheck more than a high and most companies will drug test. I am at day 24 without weed ( or job lol).. It's better now than week 1, but it still sucks. I'm not worried that I will actually smoke, but still everyday I thing about it and want it and can't even bear to be in the same room with it. Plus the withdrawl is horrible... No sleep, always cranky, depressed, bored now that staring at bad tv is no longer fun. Strangely, losing my job is probably the only thing that would have made me stop. I feel very alone in this crazy head of mine, but reading these posts has helped and made me realize I'm not alone, ( and hopefully not going crazy either). I like the idea of it being the green devil. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest, and next hopeully getting this green devil off my shoulder :) For those of you battling weeks one and two, hang in there, I know it's like that green devil is eating steroids for dinner with muscle milk for desert, but trust me, stick with quitting and it should get better.
