		<description>Hi everyone,

Em from London here. have to make it quick as I'm at work - but I will write again... It's good to meet you all. Thanks to  you especially Admin.. I have been smoking hash/skunk on and off for years but most recently in the last few years.. I suffer from depression (possibly as a result of smoking it) so that's my reason for staying away from it.. In order to cope with depressive feelings - after a period of trying to give up for about 3 months I started again at Xmas and was smoking every day sometimes before and always after work.... Just to get comfortably numb really.. After using it for years, it no longer gave me the same good feelings - general enhancement to senses, feeling horny, music sounded great, films more intense etc.. it just made me numb, tired and hungry but better than nothing

I decided for my mental health that I should quit it, but I only get as far as 10 days before giving in and buying some... I usually throw the rest away the next day as I feel guilt and not being strong enough to quit, and this has happened about 7 times now.. I KNOW I'll get there in the end, just not sure how.. I don't even really like it anymore... and I get TERRIBLE munchies. Ordered a takeout the other day AFTER my dinner and ate a whole tup of Ben and Jerry's amongst other stuff - what a pig eh!

Am out of the habit of getting stoned daily, and go out much more with friends, do more exercise, it's just something happens where I have to start all over again

Any tips for getting over the early days people??

Best,

Em :?:</description>

		<description>My problem is if I have weed, then I feel like I should smoke it. If it isn't around, I can go for months without smoking anything. For the first few days of having a bag of weed I can usually get things done before I light up, but after a few days I find that I fall behind because I'll get high before accomplishing my tasks. When I am high I drift off in my own little world and have a hell of time interacting with people (even if it's superficial stuff like e-mails). Anyway, One way that I cope with my cravings is by using a technique called biofeedback. Biofeedback is simply understanding what is happening physically.  When we feel the desire to tok up, our brain is releasing the neuro-peptides associated with pleasure but at 10 times the normal levels, which is why us addicts find it difficult to resist the urge. So I simply tell myself what I am experiencing at the moment is a bio-chemical response in the brain, and that it is a glitch and that I should ignore it. I guess in essence I analyze my cravings to death... It works for me, maybe it would work for you..?</description>
