Addiction - quitting weed

[wbfanatic234]

swim has decided to quit smoking weed until after he is finished exams. does anyone know any tips on doing this. SWIM tried going cold turkey but he kept wanting to smoke. haha

watch for self incrimination like in the third sentence of your post.

as far as quitting goes SWIY would need to psychologically go further than simply "acknowledging that quitting weed would be in SWIMs best interest" but rather SWIY would actually need to want to quit weed. Otherwise SWIY will be wasting time.

Its not that hard. Swim has gone to Holland a few times and came back to study/cold turkey. Only trouble is sleeping the first few nights but after that alls good . I suggest staying away from enablers too, like your mates. Spend the money your saving on nice holiday to Holland.

If you're not good at making those kind of decisions, finish your weed and just don't get any more. If that involves staying away from people or saving money (which can actually be a good thing), so be it! It's really not difficult. If you were under that much pressure to quit weed, you wouldn't enjoy using it anymore. Feeling stoned and guilty sucks. Weed is a double-edged sword like that. Without being physically addictive, supposed addicts are only making excuses.

They can cook up a good argument but deep down they know it. Unfortunately our over-diagnosed futuristic society of psychiatric stresses encourages that sort of excuse-making. See if quitting is difficult. If you go about it honestly, it's as easy as pie.

Thanks for the advice. swim has officially started day 1 of quitting. even tho swim technically smoked last night at like 1230 cause swim couldnt sleep. but swim is now totally out of weed as thus is going to have to quit. Swim doesnt really get it tho. When ever he is not high he always wants to be and doesnt see anything wrong with it but when swim is high it is so much clear to him and he knows that he should not have smoked. weird eh. anyways thanks for all the advice!

This is very normal, and if SWIY can strict himself not to mess with it for few days then he won't want it anymore.

good luck, SWIM suggests just saving up all the money that SWIY WOULD have spent on weed, then later buy SWIY something nice with it

Just look to keep swiyself busy. Swiy will "forget" that swiy wants to get high. Go to the gym, get some exercise, go play some sports. When life gets too busy, dropping bud is quite easy.

When SWIM quits for a peroid of time, the money saved goes towards buying a large amount to reward himself at the end, like a nice big juicy ounce
