I dreamed for the first time last night. First time in over 7 years! Great fun! :lol: (lol). I had been a pothead for over 30 years, then quit for five when I left state. I started up again with old "friends" when I cam back. I remember, it was Valentines day 2005. One toke, and back on the smoke. It took 7 years, and I got so sick of being out of control and out of money, trying to figure out how to live my life. Then I found this site with a google search. I knew there would be health benefits. I've quit coughing up that black flecked mucous, and I'm feeling pretty good ..... But dreams! I forgot how fun they can be. I was able to dream that my dumbass ex-son in law who abused my daughter for over 10 years, got arrested right in front of my house after he broke in. In the dream, he got jumped then pinned down by an undercover cop dressed like an aging rock star. :twisted: (my alter ego?) Anyway, I look forward to some more dreams tonight. Better than any movie. :grin: Sweet dreams, to all you, who are quitting. You'll get out all your frustrations & fears and anger and crap without doing something stupid. Yeah! Thanks, John, for all your efforts. I am praying also that we will be able to help as many people as possible quit smoking marijuana in 2012. i'm starting by setting a good example. :lol: ;-) Wow!

Every day that I don't smoke I feel a little more proud of myself. The cravings get intense at times, but they do pass. I hope I can keep going without slipping up. This weekend coming up will be hard because I will be spending time with a relative that I usually smoke with. I hope I can be strong. I want to know what it feels like to NOT give in. I already know what giving in feels like - it makes you feel weak and beaten. If I give in, I have to start all over again. Coming to this site helps a lot. Reading the posts of other people help me to realize I am not alone in this struggle. Be strong everyone - don't give in. J I’m on day TEN and so far so good….I still think about getting high a lot.

]]> Comment on Reasons to Quit Marijuana #4 – Financial by Emily http://www.marijuana-addict.com/2007/11/quitting-marijuana/withdrawal/reasons-to-quit-marijuana-4-financial/comment-page-3/#comment-33698 Emily Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:48:42 +0000 http://www.marijuana-addict.com/2007/11/addiction/reasons-to-quit-marijuana-4-financial/#comment-33698 So I have a question that hopefully someone can answer. I married my husband 17 years ago, before we met, we both has alcohol problems and we'd both quit. About 10 years ago he started smoking pot, he said it helped his shoulder pain. Now he smokes constantly. He sneaks it into work, he gets up a couple of times a night to smoke... he tells me he's quitting, but he's just trying harder to hide it from me. My dilemma? I love him, but I hate the pot. I hate walking into the bathroom only to smell that he was in there with the window open, smoking... I hate when he kisses me and smells like weed. I hate traveling with him as I know he's carrying it through airports... It's hurting our relationship. I'm 50, he's 54... I don't want to leave him, I don't want to start over again but it's getting harder to love him and hate what he does. At times I feel like I'm being unreasonable and selfish as he says this is the only thing he has that gives him relief. He doesn't miss work, he's careful about getting into trouble and other than *knowing* that he's doing it all the time and disliking it, it doesn't seem to cause him any problems. He's functional. Is there something wrong with me that I cannot accept this at face value? Why does his smoking bother me soooo much? So I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.

]]> Comment on Marijuana Side Effects – When to Stop Smoking Weed by bizzle http://www.marijuana-addict.com/2009/08/articles/marijuana-side-effects-when-to-stop-smoking-weed/comment-page-11/#comment-33697 bizzle Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:41:54 +0000 http://www.marijuana-addict.com/2009/08/articles/marijuana-side-effects-when-to-stop-smoking-weed/#comment-33697 I am 22, graduating college in a month, and have been smoking almost every day since I was 16. While I have been able to graduate from a good university and get a job offer before graduating, I still ponder the idea of whether or not I smoke too much. I do not smoke in the mornings, only when I get all of my tasks done for the day - this makes smoking weed more enjoyable and ultimately can lead to having less anxiety. I smoke around a gram per day, usually smoking more on the weekends. In my opinion smoking can be what/how you make it to be. I may be too young to speak over those who have been smoking longer than me, however I feel that with a positive mindset smoking isn't the worst thing. Just get your shit done before you smoke and stay motivated. I am 22, graduating college in a month, and have been smoking almost every day since I was 16.
