If first tried pot at the age of 24. It really isn’t even the same thing to me as what it was when I first tried it. By the time I was 26 it was an every evening activity, and all day on the weekends. I am 34 now and it doesn’t really get me high, I just do it because I can. Ideally I would just do it once in a blue moon, like at an outdoor rock concert, but I can’t do that. If I have weed, I smoke it. I am dissatisfied with where this has gotten me. I have tried quitting in the past but not the right way. I stopped from June to November of 2006, but started smoking cigarettes in that time as kind of a substitute, and now I need to quit both. I am on day 2 and I have a long way to go.

One thing I read about how to quit any addiction is to pray and ask for strength. Do it first thing every day, as soon as you wake up. Even if you are not religious I recommend giving this a try. It can’t hurt your chances. Good luck to all those who want to quit.
