My bf promised he would get off the weed and last night he had some and wondered!


Question:

My bf promised he would get off the weed and last night he had some and wondered why i was disappointed...?

how can i help him get off it? he has been smoking it for several years now and hes findin it very hard. hes done well until now but i want to help him cos hes sed he doesnt wanna do it anymore but is more addicted to the high than he first thought. this is not the 1st time he has tried to quit and is alright until 1 of his friends intervenes. this friend will go to any lengths to annoy me and provoke a reaction, last night being the prime example.

any suggestions are welcome! i just wanna give him all the support he wants.


Answers:

You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. Weed is not the answer. It appears that your boyfriend does want to quit, but the addiction is interfering with his goal.

There are a few options you could try:
1. Constantly remind your bf about the goal he set for himself--to stop smoking weed.
2. When your bf does not smoke weed or turns it away, when offered the opportunity, praise him for it.
3. Suggest that your bf associate with other friends and see his 'weed' friends less and less. It is easier for a bad person to influence a good person, then a good person to influence a bad person. By taking away his friends who like weed, he will be more likely to stick to his goal to quit.
4. Help him plan a better life--maybe going to school/doing well in school, or getting a good job, etc. When positive goals are set, it gives someone something to work towards.
5. After a good, solid try of this, if your bf doesn't change, then maybe it would be best to move on. You do not want someone with this habit interfering with your life ambitions.

Good Luck!
