Hello everyone.
Before I begin talking about all my jazz. I just wanted to put out there that the initial post was amazing and really motivating as well as most of the other posts/replies.
I am a 23 year old college student and have been smoking nearly everyday for about 4-5 years now. I have been trying to stop smoking for a couple of weeks now. Everyone who posted on this website seems like they had their minds made up that they want to stop. Personally speaking, I do not want to stop smoking but I know I should for numerous reasons such as finishing off school, drug test for a job, and most importantly my health, which I can feel it taking a toll on. Even knowing all this, I just cannot convince myself to stop smoking. The most I've accomplished is not smoking the whole day but I always tend to give up at the end of the day because for some reason my brain convinces me to smoke.
What I've tried along with simply just trying to convince myself I should quit:
1. Not buy it
- then I just have crazy withdrawals and just can't concentrate knowing I have no weed
2. Smoke cigarettes instead
- Worked for a couple days, then basically started smoking both (terrible idea, wouldn't recommend it)
3. Cut down hanging with my pot head friends
- Felt out of place when hanging with other people and basically found myself smoking alone rather than with
them
If anyone has any more suggestions of things I can do or how I can mentally prepare myself for this step would be awesome. I love smoking but would also love to stop, at least for the next couple years of my life. Any suggestions or tips would help.
Thanks.

hi there!
have you been able to quit?
I have decided to quit because I feel its affecting my left ear and after reading about it similar problems in other forums I believe quitting will hopefully get my left ear back in shape. It appears i may have some hearing loss (I had a hearing test). My problem has been going on for about a month now. I am hoping it is a temporary problem. If anything at all, yes I do suggest you quit. I know how it feels. I totally understand about still wanting to light up. Been smoking on and off for several years as well, and I too definitely feel healthier when I dont smoke as much.
I suggest you just change your routines. Especially your routine that revolves around smoking. Also remember, some things like whats going on with me, which could or could not be because of smoking.. just isn't worth the hassle. Dont wait for something to happen before you do decide to quit.
Tell me how it goes. Good luck to us both
