Question: Smoking weed for awhile & now trying to quit?
Answers:
I've got a friend that's been that way for 20 years. Our lives used to revolve around it and I know exacly.what youre talking about with the negative thoughts when i was high and the guilty or depressed feeling when it was over. Thats what made me quit. It happened on its own a short while after I started noticing those things you mentioned. I got a job and ended up meeting new friends. My buddy is still stoned all the time and after 20 years he's still like a brother to me. The guys I met at my various jobs, drinking buddies after work for the most part, never replaced the guys I grew up with but we had to go our separate ways so I could make more of.my life than they wanted to make of theirs. It's really about what's important to you. You could easily end up like my friend in 20 years or like me and make something.of yourself.
Get a hobby. Maybe start doing a sport? Athletes usually aren't really in to drugs. Also ,throw yourself into your schoolwork. Start reading, feed your brain with information. Just keep yourself occupied and don't put yourself in situations where you know weed will be offered.
Workout more!
Sounds like you are seriously thinking of quitting. Just like any other addiction, you will have to remove ALL temptation. Set goals. Look at a calander, and set a "quit date". Build yourself up for it. Tell your "friends" about it. Also tell them that if they do not support you, then they dont need to come around. Don't buy anymore. Spend your weed money on something you like. (besides drugs.) Think positive thoughts: how much more money u will have, how much better u will feel,etc. Gain some more non smoking friends and let them encourage you. Good luck!!
