hello all
Hello. Im making yet another attempt at quitting weed. The assumed innocence of it all is making it quite difficult. im 46 days sober from alchohol and i really need this attempt to be it for me. Its really getting in the way of life. I want to be free of drugs and alchohol.

46 days...6 weeks was always the point I caved and headed to get another bag of weed.
You are 6 weeks...plus 4 days...you have passed my time-line...that means you can make it...you already have...just keep it up...it gets better....Life got much better when I could look back and be soooo grateful I was no longer CONTROLLED by that ADDICTION.

I didn't make it through the day.
I was just in a bad mood after work, so i smoked a little resin.
Hardly smoking i suppose.
Quitting weed is harder for me than quitting alchohol. i seem to Easily become addicted to various items.
None today so far.

I used to be in a bad mood every time I didn't have weed at the end of a day. If I smoked every time I was in a bad mood, I would have smoked every time I tried to quit. Oh wait, that's what I did do, that's one of the reasons I couldn't quit. Eventually I faced the bad moods and realized they weren't going to kill me and that until I got pot fully out of my system, I would have bad moods a lot.
But I'm not judging you, please believe I understand what it's like!!! It's really hard and if I hadn't kept on trying, I wouldn't have succeeded. It was a major effort beyond anything I had yet forced myself to do and I only managed it at 38 years old. There is never a right time to quit, there will always be reasons why it's a bad time but the sooner the better. I wish I had done it 20 years earlier.

When I was still drinking and using, the movie "Clean and Sober" came out (actually a few months before I got that way), and the notion of being clean and sober seemed so incredibly elusive and impossible.
I could not imagine what it would be like to have clear thinking and to feel like a human being and not as an untreated psych patient.
But I soon learned that even I could get clean and sober, and I wouldn't trade that feeling and lifestyle for the old misery for anything in the world, including money.

Welcome to SR will help you in the process.
It can be done; many of us have done it, slowly but surely...
You will need tools!
You have realized that is not what you want in life!
That is the first step... many never find out!!!
To stop smoking pot I left one country and went to another,
the first week awake crying on the phone!!!
You need to stop hanging around with pot heads of course...
and make healthy friends, maybe join a gym...
Whish you the best

Based on experience weed was my first mistress. It's been with me for 15 years. Even when I became alcoholic years and years after being just a toker. Weed was always my favourite. 9 days ago I went to AA because alcohol is destroying my life and I had to kiss weed goodbye. Because the last few years weed has always led me to a beer. I'm still struggling not to toke. It's harder than the bottle to be honest. To let go of that is. My saving grace lately is finding a sponsor and meeting some great people in program. Everytime Ive wanted a doobie I'd pick up the phone and talk to someone sober. It's really helpEd. I really crawled the wall for the first days. I still am but it's gotten alittle easier Hanging out with sober people. U can do it man. Best of luck
