Hello everyone, I quit smoking pot.
It has been a long time since my last blog update, although have been dropping in and posting on the forums. It has been close to 1o months since I began my voyage to rid myself of my marijuana addiction, and it has been quite a ride. I haven’t smoked anything in the last 3 months and am beginning to experience a new feeling of freedom and confidence.
I’ll be honest folks, I really struggled when I first tried to quit smoking. I knew that if I persisted, I would be succesfull. I don’t think that I can define success in the long run – just that each day that I choose not to smoke is a positive one.
I have kept myself very busy during the last 3 months – one of the things that I spent a huge amount of time on was researching marijuana addiction, withdrawal, and struggles facing people like you and I. I will continue to update the site with the best knowledge, help and guidance I can find.
When I started, I didn’t really have a map to help me through the quitting process. Each hiccup along the way was unexpected and stressful. I truly believe that making a plan is a key step to the quitting process. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Gary Evans, the Cannabis Coach and his audio series “The Easy Quit Marijuana Audio Program”. This audio set gave me the plan and motivation to follow through with my goal and remain “weed free” for 3 months now. The first day that I quit, I set the day aside to listen to the entire program, and for a week after, I would listen to it in my car, and when walking in the evening (I highly recommend rigorous exercise in the first few days of quitting). I continue to listen to some sections of the program, like the 6 step method, to reinforce my resolve and behavior.

two months no weed, what took me so long? I’m done with the crap, don’t know anyone that has done well in life with weed especially those that are chronics. I pray that they will see the light. Perhaps I can teach by example. It’s not hard just a bad habit. choose life and clean lungs. Live long and laugh more. good luck.
I was an addict for 33 years, I have been straight for 4.5 years now. I was a high-functioning addict, only my other stoner friends knew. I grew my own, very strong pot. When I moved, I had to buy pot again and spent $800/month on it! I needed a hit every 2 hours or so. I got up an hour early just to be able to smoke and get “relaxed” before my day started. I began to wheeze. Make my own oil because pot wasn’t strong enough anymore. I just decided one day enough was enough and quit, cold turkey, probably about the 4th or 5th time in my life. Marijuana addiction is real. thanks for this blog. I still cannot be around it, I still love the smell of it. The weirdest thing I’ve noticed since quitting is that I dream more…..a lot more……and weird dreams at that. I now use other methods to cope with the stress of life……..you can too! Thanks for listening
i love the honesty of this blog. i feel like thanking you for posting everything on here because alot of people are probably afraid to admit they have a weed problem. i hate how other people who smoke think that others who feel they experience issues with their weed use are basically considered pussies or cant handle their shit. everyones different. ive cut down majorly on my smoking, not because i want to quit or anything, but probably more of a money saving tactic. i really feel the depression and anxiety alot when im not smoking and its horrible. ive also been diagnosed with depression in the past too so i definately know what it feels like. i wish it were controllable but its not. it feels like an enormous weight on your shoulders and i feel no reason to smile… ever. discovering this site however makes me feel alot better knowing that others may be in the same boat. (especially reading about the detox symptoms) i was totally in shock when i saw that i experienced every single one of these symptoms. i spent the majority of 2011 high as fuck in the clouds and then i quit cold turkey for only TWO WEEKS suddenly feel super depressed and introverted and honestly a lot more bitchy. i couldnt believe it when it said a withdrawal symptom was night sweats either! i thought i was seriously ill! but anyways, i simply just want to say thanks and i think youre wonderful for creating this site.
