I smoked heavily, every day since i was 16, but first toked when i was 12. I had no choice but to quit so i could keep working. it took 3 weeks to get the clean drug test, but decided to keep going and have been smoke free for over 3 months. I wish i could say it was getting easier, but the fact is i'm finding it very difficult to remain clean. My boyfriend continues to puff, but he cut way back, and won't come around me until he's washed his hands, brushed his teeth and changed his clothes. The physical symptoms were pretty harsh, including major mood swings, insomnia, cold sweats, and CRAZY dreams. Those have pretty much gone away, but i'm finding my mood hasn't improved like i thought it would. It's very frustrating to be around my friends who smoke pot. i have to remove myself and end up by myself in my bedroom because it's too hard to be around the pot. I thought it would be easier but it's not. its still a struggle. the hardest part is that after i passed my test, i could smoke again.... so now i'm choosing not to, not being forced not to. it's hard to remain firm in my choice when it would be easeir to light up. many of my friends and family have said things like 'why not smoke on weekends or when you drink' 'if it's that hard, why don't you light up?' 'wanna go smoke a joint?' anyone who says pot is not addictive is ignorant. if shopping can be addictive, so can pot. I had to quit smoking pot so i could pass a drug test, and continue to work.

My boyfriend currently smokes weed but is trying to cut down as he knows how much i HATE it. I want to help him however I can. All his mates do it & he's been doing it a long time so it isn't easy, especially since he's surrounded by it all the time, but I think I've picked up a few tips from here :smile: Just thought I’d leave a comment to say all this has helped a lot.

I have been a very heavy smoker for 15 + years now. I didnt touch it all through high school but one day(1996) a freind was put on probation handed me his bag and bowl and i have been in a battle ever since. i never thought it could of gotten like this. I have tried quitting once before Jan 1 2010. it lasted 2 weeks then my birthday came and i said i have been doing good so ill treat my self for my Bday. It seems now i smoke even more than before . Im tired of making excuses and being broke i can easily spend $100-$150 a week and freak out when my bag gets low. I will push everything aside to get the next bag. I have lost all freinds,motivation and feel i am not fullfilling my relationship with my wife ( non smoker) I smoked cigarettes for 16 years and was so easy to quit but weed i just cant seem to do. Its amzing reading all the comments that many of us are going through the same struggles. I really hope i can stick to it this time. reading these comments has kept me in the mindset of quitting if i can get past the weekend i think i will be OK Soo glad i found this site.

I would just like to add that I only smoke pure so do not have any issues with the nicotine from tobacco which is very addictive and I only smoke what I have grown myself so I know exactly what is in my smoke.
