| i am trying to quit weed. |
 |
well were to start...... my name is josh and i am 17, i have been smoke weed for the last 5 years but very heavly for the last 3, when i started year 7 i started weed and its all i know realy, i get up i think of smoking a bong, i go out in the garden all i think of is a joint, if i dnt have it i can somtime taste it.... who eva said cannabis is not adictive they were very wrong, menitly and fysicly i want it, i feel i do beta with it and feel more chilled out, but i have resently started to feel abit parinoyed like if i hear police syrens i think there coming for me, my memary is getting very bad and my head feels very cloudy and cant consontrate for very long without thinking about goin for a smoke.
i used to have a great laught getting high with my mates, but now we are stayign in an getting high instead of going out and meeting people.
basicly i feel like a crackhead and i need to stop this habit i have got into before it gets out of hand and i end up locked away or dead, every male in my family whos smoked has died of cancer....... but everytime i have tryed i allways start again after 2 or 3 days of having a break... its like my freind who keeps calling out for me to come home to a nice joint. its that spell that just sends me crazy.
i know i have just rambled on but its made me feel alot betta and c all my problems in one, so i was wondering how did u stop ? and did u need help ?
cuz i feel like i am a 1 man army in a ganja feild...neva to be seen again.

seriously dude, whenever you want a spliff, read and read and read the posts on here..the cravings will pass
the posts here are the single most help that i have ever found in my quest to give up a 24 year addiction to cannabis
not just the ones you see on page 1 either.. go back and you will find enough reasons to give up.. infact you will find thousands of reasons to give up... and only one reason to keep smoking.. that one reason is you!!
dont expect it to be easy in any way, its not supposed to be easy but...
YOU CAN DO IT!
be strong and you will find a way  |

Hey buchan,
Don't worry about rambling dude. It is good to let it all out and coming to a place like this can really help you unload but also learn about how to deal with your addiction.
I have written a number of articles on ways to help quitting weed i hope this one might help a bit

hey dude
you are now in the mid term stage of purging your brain of thc.. you need to make sure you drink water and take fish oil tablets.. these will help you to cleanse your system quicker. The sooner you start with the fish oil, the sooner it will get easier for you. Your doing a really good job just by getting this far.
I know that the only thing on your mind is cannabis, but honestly, when you get to about the 2 week point, your sweats will have stopped and the cravings will have dropped right off.. I think im at about 5 or 6 weeks now and I can truthfully say that I never want another joint again..I dont hate it, I just have indifference to it now.
I can now be around peeps smoking and it doesnt interest me at all.. Im learning now to be comfortable with myself, and I can really relax when its time to relax
You must be strong and be patient with yourself.. your brain has had alot to deal with and you need to wait until the thc is replaced with your normal naturally produced chemicals
I think that the roller coaster emotions that your feeling now is your brain repairing itself and retraining your natural core emotions.. you have to endure the feeling of fear and insecurity and sadness because you havent probably felt these feelings for as long as you have been smoking..
I am still learning to control my slight depressions as i still get the occasional attack every once in a while... but I have to have them to learn to control them.. its getting much easier now, so in a week, you will really notice the difference... you will have learnt to control your sadness and then you can move onto the next emotion your mind has to relearn.. you will have more self confidence by then
hey, I know it seems like such a long way off but you are getting there!!
try and be busy as much as you can.. I took up kick boxing a few months ago and after training, I am really knackered so I am pretty much promised a good nights sleep on the days that I do training.. keeping active really does help you to get a good nights sleep in the early days
Above all, have confidence in yourself that you can do it...just hang in there and before you know it, you will have your wonderful life back
I am falling in love with life again and I want you to know that it feels soooo damn good..such a natural high is what its all about
peace bro |
