Great news Paco, thanks for sharing it with us. To throw in something myself: yesterday was 16 months without weed for me. I had my doubts earlier this year but that's passed and I've been feeling great lately. I hope the same goes for everyone on this board.

How's everyone doing lately? We've had some newcomers but I haven't heard from them in a while. I hope everybody is still on board. Have a good weekend all.

day 5 again.

Still a struggle as I still am in contact with people who are daily smokers. I have to be strong and should be able to say no even when they smoke in front of me. Yet that didn’t happen so I am working on meeting new friends that don’t smoke around me.

Thanks for checking in! Being around people who smoke must be a hard thing. I hope you can turn your day 5 into many more sober days

Yeah I had to make new friends Chrissy - it was hard but I'm glad I did, looking back.

Being around smokers is hard! I am still around a smoker but I can hardly dump my sister! It just takes commitment and a firm belief that you can do this.
It is possible.

Of course you are welcome here.

I read a post in the newcomer section that helped me. They were talking about alcohol but I can apply it to Pot. I have to want to STOP smoking pot more than I WANT to smoke it. I am not there yet.

I just know I cannot continue down the same path.

Welcome.

"I have to want to STOP smoking pot more than I WANT to smoke it."

I guess the clincher with me was that it was making me more miserable than it was making me happy. So what was the point?

I'm not proud to say that in the last weekend I almost relapsed. I was really tempted. In this past one year and a half, it was the very first time I even considered smoking. I'm really disapointed, I thought I had shut up my AV for good.

I guess that's why people say we will have to be forever humble and vigilant.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Look at it as a wake up call. You didn't smoke and that's what counts. I am curious though, what happened exactly? What triggered it?

the important thing is you didn't relapse. You stared the desire down and won - thats a great victory

I was all by myself during the whole weekend at my sister's beach house and I found a half joint in the drawer. Then my AV came all over me. But, like Dee said, I won.
