Trying to rid a habbit

[ThirstyMKthrice]

Well, I've been an everyday smoker of pot for about 5 years. I've wanted to quit in the past but I just gave up. I'm seriously going to do it this time. It's just that all of my friends are heavy smokers, and anytime I hang out with them I feel pressured. If I don't hang out with them, they get their feelings hurt.... I just don't know how to go about this. I know this is kind of like the moment in Half Baked were he is at the rehab place lol. I just need a little support. I'm so damn tired of having real shitty jobs because I can't pass a drug test. I dunno why I feel like sharing all this with you all. I just think if I tell enough people that I'm quiting, I'll feel guilty if I'm about to smoke, and stop myself. Some people can control themselves, I on the other hand....I have a bit of trouble with that lol.

[HommerSimpson]

Well i do understand were you are coming from..
1 yes get new friends or atleast inform them of your situation and that a true real friend will help and suport you....

2 you need to find things to do when you get in mood to fire it up...work on car... take walk... anything.....

3 dont buy any.. ?

4 you need to atleast try to make it for a week without... just say NO

yes hard to do... but go a week then... if ya can make it that far... just dont smoke any more...


Myself i have a eating disorder.. and hiv.... I pray for them to make medical maryjane legal...

there NOT your friends if they hold you back in life. friends help each other be successful and want to better them selves.

i had friends who smoked, i did it a few times, but wtf is the point? i have more fun sober then i can high.

and no offense, but if your friends get mad or arent happy with you becuase you wont hang out with them, you have some pussy ass friends... just work on the supra. im sure it could use a good detail!

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Just distance yourself.

My roomate stoped smoking, and when he did. my free weed went away. so now I don't smoke either.

 

[ThirstyMKthrice]

thanks for the advice everyone. I'll let yall know how its going in a week. I guess the supra will end up getting finished rather soon now also, just waiting on the EGR Cooler and i'll be preoccupied

as much as the other guys say get new friends it's not really that it's more you just need to stay away from the times you know they are getting high. having been in your shoes for a more serious addiction problem it's hard to do it but in the end you really realize what you need to do. just try and hang out with them when they are out in public(so you can't get high) so your happy and you still get to hang out with them

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Throw all your lighters and matches away, so when you do think you need to light up, you can't...

Also mate, good on you for doing this...

Also, think of the amount of goodies you can buy for the Supe if you're holding down a better job

This is the advise I was going to give. But it's not that easy. You are gonna ultimately have to find new friends. One at a time, it will happen. Your current friends will not stay your friends too long after you quit. They will go along with it for a while, but will probably talk behind your back about you being a pussy, and such. But in the end, if they really were your friend, they may even see your way, and quit with you. But the true stoners are gonna stay true to the weed.

You know it, you have to make the break sooner or later. Your friends will catch up later. Until you find new friends, consider these people on here as friends. I view them as family. We are mostly all good people.

his first post says he is an everyday smoker of pot, aka drugs haha.


Anyways, I stopped smoking pot while my friends still kept smoking. It was pretty tough, but you just have to keep with it. You don't necessarily have to find new friends, just 'say no' as they say haha. Tell them you have a drug test coming up and you can't smoke, and you can keep hanging out with the same people.

you need to replace the habit with another...

everytime you feel the urge to smoke, drink water until you're full and your stomach starts hurting a little...

keep this up religiously, pretty soon, thinking about smoking will get the idea of water in your head, and your stomach will feel sick, making you lose the urge to do both...

 

[ThirstyMKthrice]

That works with cigarettes a little.... It's just getting used to my music not sounding like it used to, dealing with stress, trying to eat, and trying to sleep. This is just day one. LOL I'm trying to be an optimist with this though. I know this isn't a crack addiction lol, but it's still a huge change for me. I've dealt with far worse things in the form of powder. But I never did that for 5-6 years. Alls going good thus far, thanks for the support everyone!!

Think about the cost of smoking pot...

1. The cost of buying the pot itself
2. The loss of productiveness while baked
3. The SHITTY jobs you'll be forced to work cuz you can't pass a drug test for shit
4. All the supra-ness you're missing out on
5. All the liveliness you miss out on while smoking

I really dont understand heavy pot smokers. You dont accomplish anything at all and you spend insane amounts of money on something so worthless. I've smoked, but I'd never do it repetitively. If you want a good time, drink a few beers on the weekends instead of lighting up.

Think of the SUPRA!!!


Seriously though... NOBODY likes a pothead except the "friends" who rely on said "pothead" to support their worthless habit.

 

[ThirstyMKthrice]

Thats pretty much it. After doing it for so long it becomes like brushing your teeth though.

 

[dirtlord420]

i quite on and off all the time. just stay busy easyiest way i found to do it. am about to qutie for good am wanting a better job. and if your friends dont understand fuck them. sell off all your pipes will helps alot. most of the time i dont even have time to smoke.

 

[jm0597]

Hey man your habit is a battle that you have to face. Every hour your not baked is a victory for yourself and your loved ones. On step at a time and all things can be accomplished. Good luck.

J/k ..... Although I want marijuana legalized, it is just like many other things in that when used in excess it is detrimental. Do what makes you feel comfortable with yourself and goals, good luck.
