You're listening to your primal brain, the part that links to survival and the belief you need to use weed. You have convinced yourself that you can't stop and therefore lack belief that you can. The rational brain is the bit that makes decisions and actions. You need to listen and focus on that part.
Scenario:
Primal says smoke weed. It'll be ok, it's just weed and you've been stressed/down/bored etc etc... you deserve it. Primal brain makes you crave or think you have to smoke weed.
It can't make you roll a joint or score or any other action.
Rational brain gets the message and decides to action it... this is where you can choose to listen to primal and do it, or you can decide to ignore it, distract yourself, hook up with non smoking support, go somewhere you can't smoke and feel empowered by your decision. The primal will try to convince you many times but the more you ignore, the more in control you become.
Stop listening to your anxieties because you said yourself, weed just makes it worse and reinforces your belief you have no control. You won't die if you choose not to smoke and your anxiety is a symptom of your lack of self belief.
