The urge is real. Idle time is a no no.

Play the tape all the way through. If you're like me, smoking weed isn't fun anymore, not even temporarily. It won't make the urge go away, either. Find something kind to do for yourself until it passes. For me, these cravings pass, and lessen over time. Get through this day without smoking, that will feel better than any stoned out buzz that you get from weed.

Don't hop back on that train, Charles, it's misery. Reread the posts in this forum if you need a reminder.

Agreed, just get through today without smoking. The urge may feel real but the desire is probably not real, just a trick of the AV.

turned into wanting to do acid!! man, this is life.

will remain strong and know that life will always be this way and I can't respond by just getting high everytime.

Great words of advice, FatallyUncool ! Couldn't agree more ! Anything someone can do to distract themselves til the urge passes is a far better choice than giving in and locking yourself back onto the crazytrain again -anything else is an good option, even good old greasy fast food is a better choice -LOL. DO it one day at a time , right now-just get through today anyway you can , WITHOUT using ! What else could you do to distract yourself ?

Do something productive Charles, or at least proactive.
Sitting around thinking about stuff is probably not the best for you right now.

Visualise the person you want to be. I'm willing to bet pot and acid play no part in that person
