Well… I understand how you feel. You don’t really want to quit, do you? You are having fun with it, right? I know how it is. Been there. Actually what made me quit was the realization that I was ruining my girlfriend’s life with it.

See, she’s not a smoker, so she couldn’t “enjoy” it with me, which actually turned out to be good, because she didn’t have to go through detox. So what happened was when I first started smoking, everything was swell. I was happy, laughing, excited and absorbing my new experiences. It never occurred to me that I should actually quit smoking pot until the day I couldn’t control myself and got into a major argument with someone I love.

I realized then, that smoking pot will not get me anywhere. I knew that if I don’t do something about that, I’d lose her and I’d end up a miserable man.

What did I do then? I decided to quit smoking pot.

I went to the doctor that showed me exactly what I had to do. He said I should go and follow a program that he suggested, which I gladly did. Of course I missed pot at that time. I was really easily irritated and just got mad very quickly at about anyone and anything, but I knew that if I try, I’ll manage to overcome the urge to smoke.

The program I was following was not very easy to get through. The crazy thing was that the things they tought in there were not really revolutionary. I mean, the guys on that tape got me jumping, running, drinking gallons of water and orange juice and eating lots of fresh vegetables. Not too bad for someone who would skip breakfast and have a joint for dinner.

I almost forgot about the withdrawal. Let me tell you, it was pretty nasty. I mean, I was shaking all the time, I was feeling dizzy, I was getting really light headed at times and I would wake up covered in cold sweat a few nights in a row. Not necessarily a good thing, is it?

I guess what I am trying to say is that it did work in the end. It definitely was not easy, but it was more than worth it. Don’t get me wrong, deciding to quit smoking pot was hard, but actually quitting it was even harder.

In the end, I am clean and happy. My girlfriend is doing ok as well and we’re actually thinking about getting married. I still remember the times when I smoked and miss the experiences I had then, but what I have now is much more valuable.

It’s really good to quit. Good luck!

Stop Smoking Weed Tips

Many people who decided they want to stop smoking weed have no idea where to begin.   I want to share with you some of the techniques and tricks that helped me when I got really serious about quitting marijuana.    I’ll be honest with you, it can take some work, and some mental strength, but the end result is totally worth it.   You may have seen this advice elsewhere on the net….people keep copying the stuff I write on my blog….but this is from the horses mouth!

Set a Date to Stop Smoking Pot.

You need to set a quit date.  This is to allow yourself to get totally prepared to quit smoking marijuana. Your quit date should be an actual date. It should not be when your stash runs out, or roughly a week before the next semester of school starts, or next month. It is important to nail down the date. In my personal experience, before I learned to set a date that I would stop, I used to smoke my stash as quickly as possible. I did this because I convinced myself that each bag was my last bag. When my bag ran out, I would buy another one, and smoke it just as quickly, convincing myself that it was also the last bag. Does this sound familiar? I recommend setting your quit date, within one month of the current date. If you wait any longer, you are less likely to follow through with your goal. It is a great idea to set your quit date just before a vacation begins, or other major event. Quitting Marijuana is a lifestyle change. If you attach it to another lifestyle change, you are more likely to be successful.

Understand Why You Are Addicted.

Marijuana addiction is a controversial topic because people fail to differentiate between a physical addiction and a psychological addiction. While marijuana has physical withdrawal symptoms similar to that of cigarettes, it is the psychological aspect of the addiction but most users struggle with. Long-term marijuana smokers are in the habit of smoking pot every day and are used to being in a stoned mindset. While you do not have a physical need for marijuana, you do have a mental need to get high. that’s the tricky thing about it. It’s not that you’re addicted to marijuana, it’s that your mentally addicted to being high. the more we smoke, the more our brains get used to being high, and the more we crave that state of mind. he will go through a mental battle when you stop smoking weed. You need to prepare for battle.

Stop Smoking Weed by Getting Rid of Your Gear

Marijuana smokers have lots of great gadgets. You may want to give all of your supplies to friends, or you may wish to throw them away or break them as a symbol of your resolve to stop smoking weed. Whatever you do, clean your environment so that there is no trace of marijuana or of marijuana related equipment. Cravings are easier to resist when there is nothing immediately in front of you. People will do some strange things to get stoned, including smoking pipe resin, checking the cushions for weed crumbs and roaches, or even digging through the trash to find the last scraps they threw away. I will admit, I have done all of these things in the past.

Be prepared for withdrawal.

Not being prepared for marijuana withdrawal is the number one reason that people fail to quit smoking. If you’ve got a quit date set, you’re already ahead of the game, because you know when you will be going through withdrawal, and you’ll be prepared. Anxiety is very common in the first stages of withdrawal. For example, you have probably been through a time when you just run out of pot and have made plans to get more but it didn’t work out. You are on edge and jittery until you can secure a new supply, or at least get stoned. Multiply this by 10 times, you will have an idea of what the anxiety can be like if you are unprepared to quit for good. Insomnia and loss of appetite are also common in the first week of quitting. Do your research on what withdrawal will be like so that you can be mentally prepared to face these problems when they arise after you quit smoking weed.
