Any tips on how to successfully quit smoking weed?? -
Been smoking almost every day for about a year and a half, wanna quit but think i-m pychologically hooked. Help!!
It can get you that way. Unlike cigarettes, weed doesn-t have the same addiction properties, so cutting down is a valid way.
I succeeded by promising myself a big fat one on Friday nights.
That way, I broke the need for daily usage.
Eventually the need for the -Friday night one- went away
Why do you wanna quit?
you just stop. There is no physical addiction with marijuana, the addiction is purely psychological. You just have to develop the willpower to stop. Seek addiction counseling if you absolutely cannot do it on your own.
yeah just quit my husband did it for years and thats what he did so whats the problem
I used to smoke everyday too. I had to stay away from everyone that smoked for a while. It didn-t take long to get over the feeling that I needed to smoke, and now that I-m over it, I feel much better and have no problem being around it. It-s all in your head; if you-re truly ready, it should be fairly easy.
Start drinking.
Make new friends who don-t smoke.
Get a hobby.
throw away your pipe start doing yoga...it feels just as good!
sorry if u are psycologically hooked then thats a problem.
I smoked for 7 years straight, pounds a week, mad blunts a day and i quit cold turkey when i got pregnant.
You need to find something to care about more then weed like a girlfriend or boyfriend or child or your family. there you go.
the decision to stop or start smoking weed is a lifechanging one. the properties of cannabis sativa are legendary and mysterious. there is the giggly, upbeat happy high, there is the stoney brain-numbing high, and there is the sophisticated, thoughtful high. there is no feeling quite like opening a new sack and finding perfect little crystally trees, slightly reeking of fruity pines.
many people report that marijuana slightly changes their personalities, and you have to figure out if your stoner personality is as likeable/productive/intelligent as your sober personality. then you decide if quitting is worth it.
the unfortunate thing about pot is that unlike alcohol, it is hard to smoke in moderation, and not every day, five times a day.
either you get high or you don-t.
decide what you want to be and resolve yourself.
Stop smoking it. It doesn-t control you.
It-s time to grow up and be an adult. Take control of your life and start realizing that pot is an excuse for people to keep from growing up. You want to smoke pot so you don-t feel the responsibilities and obligations of your life, or at least don-t want to admit them to yourself. Take responsibility for what you do, who you are with, how you spend your time and how you live your life. Pot, alcohol, cigarettes ... they-re all crutches for those who are weak in constitution. Have the inner strength to be above poisoning yourself. Have the inner strength to strive for a better kind of life for yourself. Yeah, success comes at the price of hard work and sacrifice, but the rewards of a full life are far greater than that of an afternoon spent smoking and/or drinking.
Quit looking for excuses not to quit and either choose to be a child or an adult. You don-t need my help to stop a behavior that is not addictive. Psychological addiction is a myth pot-heads tell each other to validate the continuation of a behavior that is knowingly stupid. Caffeinated beverages like Coca-Cola and coffee are more physically and -psychologically- addicting than pot. Don-t put the path of your life in the hands of substances and myths. Quit lying to yourself and grow up.
Bolderdash, how about facing your problems.
Nancy Reagan had the answer in three words, -Just Say No-. Didn-t work then, won-t work now. I think a group situation like AA would be best.
You can quit. I stopped 30 years ago. Don-t go cold turkey cuz you will have side effects. Taper off over about two weeks. If you smoke six joints a day now, taper down to three after the first week, and then by the end of the second week taper down to zero. Drink a lot of fluid. Quit when you will have a weekend to relax just after the zero point. Get rest. Watch Television. If you have psychological side effects that are bothersome seek counseling. You may not have to worry you have only smoked a short time really. Good luck you will be a much healthier person after you stop.
I was going to answer this question, but bonsai above me is 100% correct. You just quit. If you can-t do it, it isn-t physical...just a weak psyche. Join NA.
you have to realize what is priority in your life and if it is really worth it..
you think you are hooked but you are not.
Just have to quit cold turkey, the psychological effects will be alittle hectic (irritability, nervousness) but it passes quicker than the effects of cigarettes and other drugs. Or do what A.A.-s and N.A.-s do..One day at a time (sometimes minutes and hours at a time).
Usually a short trip to the pokey works pretty well.
Give it up to God.
If you can-t, He can.
I smoked every day for 15 years, the best and strongest. Quit immediately with the help of Jesus Christ. It works. Clean for 20 years.
Most likely you ARE psychologically addicted, which is just as bad as physical addiction in the fact that you get the cravings, just don-t go through the physical withdrawl symptoms like a person addicted to opiates. My best suggestion to you is to take a good look at prioritizing your lifestyle. Make a list of your goals with quitting weed as number one. Then, list the reasons why.
I also strongly suggest you contact a support group like Narcotics Annonymous where you will meet others that are living clean and sober lives and dealing with life on life-s terms without having to use a chemical or drug to cope. It is not a matter of willpower. Addiction to anything is a disease. Treat it as such.
Call your local AA or NA central office or hotline and they will be able to hook you up with the hotline and give you a list of meetings held in your immediate area. Be sure that you go to the meetings until you look forward to them. Do not judge, NA members come from all over the world and different walks of life, so you will find one to fit your needs. Get yourself a -sponser-
who will help you to cope with your desire to quit and how to deal with the cravings.
Good Luck and Be Well.
Stop buying it. Stop hanging with people who smoke it. You have to get away from the whole scene, and stay away from it. It isn-t that difficult, but you have to really want to stop.
try Hypnosis!!!!
How about you stop hanging out with the people you smoke with or try participating in an activity that is not smoking weed.
Remove yourself from alll of the surroundings that you have as a -Smoker-....none of the same friends you associate with smoking, nothing...you have to get away from it. Because yif you keep yourself in the same area that you were in you will never quit. Pot is not addictive, people just like the feeling that they get from it, you cannot get -hooked- on it. I used to smoke...it is easy to quit you just have to remove yourself.
