Addiction - SWIM needs serious help with quitting weed

[dcrn]

Swim is not an experienced smoker by any means. SWIM tried pot years ago and he never ever spent his money on it. He would take a puff here and there at a party or something and would not smoke for months and months again.

For some stupid reason SWIM started to smoke again, this time spending his own cash. He doesn't smoke midgrade mostly good quality bud that he gets.
For about a month now, SWIM has been smoking daily. If he doesn't smoke for few hours he gets these early withdrawal symptoms and they can be annoying. SWIM keeps to himself, gets a little bit depressed, appetite is completely gone, vivid dreams, nightmares, insomnia, irritable, and craving to smoke. SWIM is also suffering financially because of this. His bank account is in negative balance, and he needs to pay his bills, and use his money on more important things other than weed. SWIM has been trying to quit for the past few days and the longest he went was a day without smoking. The thing is, when SWIM's high he realises he wants to quit and all, but when he's clear and sober he wants to get high..it's so weird.

What can you recommend that swim does so he can stop this permanently. How can he deal with withdrawal symptoms. SWIM is hypochondriac so he always has a bigger picture of things and makes big deal out of nothing.
