well id like to start my post by saying this website should be shown to any one who even wants to quit someday in the future because when you do quit weed it is very comforting to hear other average jo's and average chicks with way to simular of a story. and the will power some of us can find when we feel our life can be spun in a new brighter direction by quitin the reefer! or in my case hopefully quitting till end of summer a good 6 MONTHS AND this is dayone and i know i can already feel changes because normaly id be sleepin here since its about 4 in the morning and now im wide awake glued to this forum ha haa not planning to go to sleep. so this can be a place i can come to every time i hear that voice,.." COME ON MAN JUST TAKE A HIT JUST BUY ONE MORE GRAM B4 I QUIT" but i think ive been trying to quit for a few years it just never hit me hard enough to wake me up and say "man this time u have everything to gain and nothing to lose besides your money haa ... hopefully on day 2 i will not think about weed so intensely as i am now . i am defently gonna stay updated and always willing to share ideas and listen to others because we all wouldnt have come to this site inless we have a power OF Will. peace brudddahs an sistas 8)

alright , i was going to go to sleep but im bored and the past few post from texashound and drumer man made me want to explain my situation here and maybe the more experianced like yall can help guide me through my cravings..
first of all ive been smokin weed for about 5 years but its been daily for FOUR YEARS . ive tried to quit a few times but really never had the reason . its probaly because i started smokin at 14. im 18 almost 19 now and the reasons couldnt be more clearer. The most important reason being that i know im a smart dude and stuff but over the years ive been put in very dumb situations and alot of people "mostly my family" thinks im being dumb and i did probaly the most dumbest thing a kid can do. i droped out of school at grade 12 . mostly due to absents all the time and preferin to being at home drinkin shroom tea and smokin listenin to musik and creating it also. I cant regret dropin out becuase my mindset from the day i walked out the class room hasnt changed. im not sayin i was too smart for school, but the only subject i excelled in was history and science. maybe its bekuz since i was 5 ive always wanted to be an archeologist or forensic scientist. I CAN see myself being paid poorly not givin a care in the world , but also havin a smile everyday going to work knowin theres something new to learn about history or science. thats my natural callin in life so now im at the age where i either do something to TRRY to get there or i can just smoke pot everyday and end up being a slum for the rest of my life . ive even thought about the military bekuz it seems like if i cant get my life strait they sure wont have a problem getin it their. well enough about my reasons i guess ill let u no more about my problem. i live here in neworleans and drugs are too easy to score. if you want purp go to bourbon if u want anything else all u gota do is ask . so livin in this city, whitch i dont know if yall have been here but a hurricane with a disaster flood cant stop us from throwin a party haaah. so im 14 or 15 yrs old and blunt rollin is mastered already by me ha.. and 16 and 17 comes along im sellin to support my smokin habit and start losin my confidence grades start slippin get in trouble by law a couple of times etc. u would think thatt i had to have quit for a little while but no i cheat drug test using fake piss and graduate my probation. haha so u know that really helped .. well now im 18 and me and a very good friend that is almost so simular that our mushroom trips make us start talkin as if we were ancient philosphers, have both decided weed just isnt doin the trick its holdin us bak. so im very glad to say i have a friend who is gonna be feelin the same way i will in a week becuz we are commited like never before to just cold turkey it. after 1 ful day of not smokin we both discused the same symtoms of withdrawl. but then again we feel like were on exctasy or coke bekuz we both are already talkin about workin out more playin football wit our freinds like we use to. we narrowed it down to the withdrawls can only be balance by sweatiin the toxins out or just talkin about it i think helps allloot! so thats y im so priveledged to postin this bekuz i know im not wastin my time writing this im doing it for my self and will always need strong support on my journey to the new me , hopefully ill start playing my guitar more and to start singin to a crowd instead of being shy like most famous singers had to get over . like jim morison n cobain and plant. im sure this site is gonna see an improvement in my thinkin patterns over the next few weeks lol damn its 5 IN THE MORNING y is it THAT HARD to sleep? it seems like im excited for life or something and just dont wanna close my eyes thats how i feel but now my hands are numb and i feel a yawn comin haha i will keep yall updated whoever is listenin. peeeace and happy easter and if yall can smoke a spliff for me.

Hey NewOrleans, glad you found this site, I think it will help ya over your next few days and weeks a LOT! I know I read the entire thread when I first decided to quit.
Tomorrow makes 7 weeks for me. You can do it, you know you can. It is all about will power, just as you said. Be strong and be committed to your goal of 6 months or however long. It will be tough for you over the first few days. That first night I came home on Day 1 after work I was nuts and cleaned my whole house...I couldn't sleep, etc. THat will last a few days but I promise, every single day it gets better. I am guessing it will take you 2-3 days of feeling like you are now, then a week and then you'll start feeling much better. Everyone is different so it may be faster for you.
There are a few things I do know: in a short while you will feel MUCH better..your lungs will be clear, your mind will be more clear and you'll start wanting to get active and doing things that interest you. Think about your hobbies and start getting into them. Working out helps a lot, get out there and sweat.
Don't slip if your friend slips. Keep true to your goal. People don't find this site on accident, it's because they really want to and have a real desire to quit....either forever or a period of time to clean out. Weed and drugs are easy to get in all big cities. I love New Orleans btw!! I am in the DFW area...not too far. You will find yourself around other stoners at times but just power through and don't do it while they are getting high.
While tomorrow is 7 weeks, i swear it has gone by VERY fast. It already am forgetting how long ago I quit and have to think about it. I am not jonesing like i used to although at times I do plain ole want to get high as I like it so much. But, the urge passes quickly and the next day is completely gone. I am thinking very clearly, doing much more socially where as I used to sit home and get high all the time. I bought an acousitc guitar and started guitar lessons last week. Never played before and I have always wanted to learn.
Hey Drum...glad to hear you are still with me! Much better now huh? I have asthma and allergies and it is AMAZING how little i've needed or used my meds since I quit....what a coincidence...NOT! My nose and lungs are clear, no hacking cough, no more Visene lol.
Keep us posted NO...I'll check back and chat with ya.

thanks texas alot ,, i wasnt expecting to get a reply so soon. its the morning of day 2 and i had about 4 hours of sleep, im use to like 10 hours but for some reason i got out of bed with no problem. Instead of lookin foward to smoke im looking foward to other things like eating breakfast lol or enjoyin the weather outside. You said it ! big cities are usaully filled with drugs but im glad im not one of the majority of teens here getin into heroin payin 100 dollors for a half a g or watever,,, it makes me sick when i see true junkies at my age. ha thats very funny u live in dallas, i had a girlfriend that moved to arlington whitch is around the dallas area and last summer i saved money to visit her. Ever since then ive loved dallas because i never thought it was so big. and nice !! i pretty much hung out with kids my age there that were so simular to my freinds wit pot that at some point i didnt even want to go home. man 7 weeks u really should be proud of urself and must have a total feeling of control. im hopin to use this site as everyone else did because i feel that this place is a new mini acomplishment. I REALY HOPE and im startin to belive from readin so many post from previous stoners that this will lead me to a very big accomplishment. im always open for suggestions because i know its not that hard right now but i know it will get alot tuffer. When im on that 7 day mark thats when i know im gonna actually be done with the reefer till god knows when. but hey dude thats awesome your findin new hobbys like playin guitar . gettin into music and learnin intruments is something ive always done since i was young bekuz i realy think music is like weed smoke goin through my ears but with no side effect. Im startin to notice that i have declined in pickin up the guitar and singin sum old zeppelin tunes like i always use to but now im ready to start lookin up tablature again lol and maybe write some ssoonggs haa.
ps. i live wit my mom and im startin to see y sum of the frst reasons i turned to pot ,, shes not a b***h but can make simple situations very stresful for everyone...shes always been agervated and now shes agervated for sum reason and i can see how the old me would have just gone to my room and lit up a bowl and just totaly forget about it. i gues if i just talked to her more often she wont always be so irratible but hey thats women for ya i dont expect nething more or less shes my mom and ill always love her . im even willin to say look mom im tryin to quit an addiction ive said ive quit but actualy never have,,but in the near future after im flushed out of thc , im gonna show her that THIS website helped me. shel prolly get mad and say sooo arested didnt teach u a lesson ??? probation? drug classes? hahaha my will power is gettin stronger every hour that passes i swear and thanks again texashound for replyin to my post so soon I THOUGHT ID HAVE TO WAIT DAYS TO SEE A LIVELY RESPONCE LOL . well enuf time on the computer im going to go outside and tune my guitar and start makin better healthier habits. yall have a good one and i will be bak on here sooner then later haaahaha. peace

ALL i can say is thanks! it makes me feel that this place really is worth sittin down haa.
alrigh so its the morning of day 2 and i only had bout 4 hours of sleep but im feelin pretty energized! the urge to smoke weed is gettin stronger as it gets closser to noon but i cleaned out my pipes and put them all in the attack for safe keepin. texas thats funny that u live in dallas bekuz i actually just got back from visitin an old girl freind that moved to arlington last summer . i fell in love with that massive beautiful area bekuz the people there are very down to earth with striving attitudes that ive never really seen before. man 7 weeks ! u must feel that you have ur life back in total control now kuz i know ill feel like that when im 7 days into it hhaaa. for example not alot of people pick up a guitar when there all high on pot. i know this bekuz i piked one up at age 10 or 11 so zeppelin songs have been my life ever since. now that i think about i havent piked up my guitar and sang ne of my favorite tunes since god knows when. music is my way to get high without smoke goin in my lungs more like sum dank weed goin in my ears strait to my brain haaaahaa..! so now since this is a new day ive alreaady piked my guitar up and am waitin for my mom to leave so i can start rockin the walls and hittin them notes just like robert while doin my own blues solos. i love music and encourage everyone to learn more instruments. i only know guitar harmonica and a little bit of violin but i really wanna get into morrocan guitars becuase for somereason arab music gives me peace that not alot of other music can put out. so my old hobbys are slowly becomin new again. ive already tuned my guitar this morning so maybe if i can write lyrics and create riffs all day then i guess thats what i wanna do on day 2 .
but i defently will be using this site as a guide to a big accomplishment.
thanks again...!!!!
ps. alrite i live wit my mom and im not sayin shes a b***h but she can be one and she always makes simple situations stresful and is always aggervated so i can see how i turned to pot in the first place... for example she just yelled or raised her voice for what ever reason and the old me would have been in his room lightin a bowl pretty much saying F*** YOU MOm i dont giv c**p but now i can talk to her without being paraanoid and its a very good feeling . thanks again texas i was litterly thinkin it would be days or even weeks to get a response from sumone but i decided to chek the site this morning and i was shocked at how much other people can look out for their fellow man for the strive to better ourselfs . my power of will grows as every hour passes by,, but still as it gets closer to noon im still urgin but not like i thought i would be . I REALLY AM JUST happy that theres a place for me where i can learn new ideas and share my own it makes me respect the internet a tad more haha weell im outa here ... yall have a good one and will talk to ya folks later peaceeee

that is badass NO....keep it up! Hell I check back here daily...to see how my bro Drum is doing but now I can chat with you. even at 7 weeks, it helps me too. I just love to get high but I know how negatively it affects me. I'm obsessive and I know that if I even take a toke, I'll be right back to a heavy, daily user/abuser.
I can't wait till I can play the guitar like you. I would LOVE to be able to play zepplin...oh man that would be incredible.
I promise you, if you stick with it, you'll be playing that moroccan guitar/music before you know it. Make it a goal and do that when you feel the urge to get high...jam out and play with passion.
Hell I just learned how to tune a guitar last week and am learning to play G major, C major, the G major pentatonic scale, learning to read TAB music and that's about all i know lol seems lame compared to plant but i am motivated and its just like quitting weed...if I put my mind to it i will do it over time. I'm loving it though.
I love the acoustic versions of all the songs I grew up to in the 70's and 80's...classic rock stuff. My fav band is Tool....I love Matchbox 20, 311, Rob Thomas, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Pearl Jam, 3 Doors Down, etc. Picked up the acousitc guitar to learn the acoustic versions of all that stuff.
You are right, I do feel much more in control...I don't sneak around, no mouthwash and visene, etc. Glad you stashed your pipes and stuff away..lol I put mine in the attic too! hilarious!
That is so cool music is your outlet...I am 41 and have wanted to play since I was a kid...just never did. I think you are right in that the weed kept me back from pursuing those things of interest. I used to would rather sit home and get high than pretty much do anything outside of the house. Yes that's lame and sad. but hey, today is a new day and I have no regrets over my stoner past. Doesn't do any good to dwell on the past as today is a new day.
Just pour that passion into your music bro...pick that bad boy up and jam hard. That will help you a ton!
Oh and I forgot...you should absolutely also pursue your education. That would be a huge outlet for you and go for it, there is nothing to hold you back except you (well and money but you'll be saving that up not getting high). Go for that degree and pursue history or archeology degree have dreamed about...that will take you to even bigger places!
Stay strong...and keep us updated!

man i feel like i accomplished one of the biggest steps last night. well ever since i havent been tokin up ive been wanting to do more social activitys and partys seem more fun then they use to because im not all stoned. i saw a majority of my good freinds at this party right ? well when the words IVE quit is stated most people dont believe it and their sayin u will never quit why are u quiting and al that jazz pretty much laughin in disbelief. but i just drank a few beers and told them i feel great and that taking a break for a period of time to get ur life more where u want it isnt all that bad. sooo me thinking these kids are going to pull out diesel or purp to try to temp me ,, pull out midgrade and ask if i can roll the blunt since they were all sloppy high off mid i was like hahahahah this isnt going to be a problem, welll i roll their blunt and there all like yes lets go smoke and i told them even if that isnt real weed in my eyes im not going to relapse to get a headache lol so they light it like 10 15 feet away. im hearing them complimenting my blunt rolling and saying how it suks they cant find ne good good , im thinkin to my self maybe its bekuz i use to always stay with the good. now that i quit it seems like everyones dry callin me littlerly all night can u get chrnoic ? (i swear ive told these grls i quit like 4 times and they still cal me can u get chronic i just hang up now its a very good feeling seeing them addicted and not me. and i tell em all i quit and theyre all like wait what whyyy no way ??ur lieing!! not to long after that i get the biggest nastiest wiff of this shwag blunt and the smell was nausiating like never before so i walked the hell away. lol this is the funny part, .... this group of kids about 5 pple walked back near where all the girls were and pretty much where it was popin. they looked like slobs about to go to sleep on the grass lol they were all complaining about headaches and ofcource they left the soonest. SO it left me there with more girls whitch makes me think of all the times i missed out bkuz of me n freinds leavin to go smoke by our selfs .haha its crazy how isolated us true stoners can get from people. man i craved weed last night when i tried to sleep , but my healthy theory to beat the insomnia is drinking a glass of milk doing sum sort of exercise my fave choice is puttin more then usaul amounts of energy into my guitar playin whitch made me just pass out without a problem and i slept better about 6 to 7 hours . its weird how the little amount of sleep ive had in the past few days hasnt really made me tired. i guess its kuss im so use to passin out after a bowl to myself . but i will say this i cant really eat barely nething my stomach feels like i cant fit a slice of pizza haa ha. i hope my apetite comes bak soon kuz i lose weight way to fast, and im starting to feel stomach cramps and muscle soreness but really its not that bad sicnce i expected this.
texas ,learning a guitar i promise u is worth everyminute of it , i still have so much to learn that i need to start doing, i can read music but very slow and it needs practice . i know most basic chords and scales i advise u to learn the blues scales becuase alot of zeppelin hendrix and crazy good guitarist can just go to that scale and make solos right there while the other members of the band all come in sync at the right moment. to play music you really do have to train your ears but once u get that down its almost simple to pik up a guitar to ne song that ur listening to and play along with it makein it ur own.. i usaully will have one headset on one ear and the other ear open to hear my guitar and thats wat tought me to play when i was like 10 or 11 kuzz i did NOT want to learn chords all i wanted to do was to play DAZED AND CONFUsed solo and all . but i remember being 12 13 first hearing some zeppelin and hendrix songs that made me go crzy till i learned how to play it and id always look up tablature whitch i need to do more often in a way. now i can just listen to a song that ive never heard and almost not percisely predict the riffs and solos to it. its crazy that im left handed and i play right hand guitar but i tried to play a left handed guitar once and i couldnt even press down on the strings hahaha but yea acoustics are defenlty my favorite its more of a true tone that comes out of it . i have and electric and a small acoustic and the acoustic is almost always in my hands wen im at home. dude u should look up these songs by zeppelin called foursticks, battle of evermore, and my fave song called freinds there all acoustic and arent that hard but if u can master them songs u can master the guitar itself i think. music is my passion just like it was to kurt cobain and jim morrison but its only because the whole point of music is to give insite on your thoughts and for people to be happy while they hear tunes, i really do blive music is all in the heart and it beats with the rythmm..
i know education is my first goal to get accomplished but i really dont know about gettin there,, ive screwed my chance with highschool i just dont know if i should go in military so money wont be a problem, ive really been thinkin about it and its one of my main reason i want to quit , i have a freind in boot camp right now and he sent me a letter saying hes joining the army and he wants me to go with him when gets out. hes got me convinced that we would be getin to travel to other nations and having russian and japenese girls chasin u because they think u look good in the uniform hahaha i really hope i can just get into a college and pay for it myself but the armys suppose to pay for 100 percent of college and its lookin like something i could do for my body since i might have a chance to grow taller.? i havnt growed ne since i started pot im still 5 '7 WITH a dad thats 6 1 foot and a sister thats 5'10 . dude i barely have benched once in my life kuz of pot and maybe the army could get me in top physical shape, pushing myself is always hard
damn i think ive never typed this fast before in my life ,, things seem like there easier to get done not high reading is actually not a headache any more its crazy how i really didnt think the reefer was effecting my abilty to learn but now the the clouds are clearing im kinda in shock on this exctasy like feelin that i have from only 3 days whitch is getin close to my record ha since i was 13 14. i was way caught up in the whole culture of weed but now it seems i can enjoy the culture thru difrent music instead of actually gettin high and eventulay forgetin what u were trying to do that day in the first placehaha ... i could probaly use some grammar right now seeing that i dont end sentences lol . i put and , but , bekuz instead of periods hahaha so sry if words start to not flow right. i am acually seeing improvement on even my speech on everyday talking.. im finding myself startin conversation with grls easier and also to keep the convo flowing seems to be gettin better. i remember i use to get stoned and would litterly have the same conversation with the same people everytime i ran into them. alot of my freinds told me last night "ur in a good mood what ud smoke?" and its sh*t sayin notthing man thats y i feel so great becuase i feel balanced once again. damn i really need to force feed myself the first couple of days huh? well i hope this post isnt to long i litterly wrote this whole thing in like 13 to 15 minutes the most bekuz i have a speedy feeling in my chest that i cant describe.. thanks again for any one and everyone always willing to listen and suggest stuff becuase its strong support knowin sumone took their time out of their lives to help sumone wit a problem that you have already fought and accomplished. WIthout this place as support , i really do belive the old me would have relapsed and found myself in the same same situation today or even months away when forced to quit only becuase im in jail hahah i rather go this route lol
o ya and texas keep me updated on ur guitar learnin and remember if u just have that guitar in ur hand for a certain amount of time you will no everysound that it can make and will no longer need tablature to play along with ur favorite songs. what i did as a kid was pretty much finger practice and bending strings and eventually u wont even need to look at the frets..!! im workin on playin more in key with my singingg witch im finding is very difficult becuase it seems like i can put more energy into singin witout a guitar kindof the same reason robert plant never brought his guitar on stage, right now im really into nirvana and im studying his guitar playing and singin whitch is very simular to hendrix i really want to be that kind of player and everyone that hears me play tells me that i have what it takes to be a famous musician and i never belived it till they said damn i cant tell ur voice from roberts or guitar playin from kurt cobain and it makes me really want to beat the shyness out of me and go on stage more to not try to get famous, but to really enjoy myself and let others see it lol. holy ssshhhiiiiittt i dont know if i accidently took ritalin or something but i think this is a record long post so im leavin it at that

Right on NO that's what I like to hear. You SHOULD be really proud of yourself...that was a big test at the party with your buds.
I had the same experience on a trip to the beach with 6-7 of my good buddies. THey were all getting high and me, the biggest stoner of all was on like week 4 at the time.
Oh yeah...lol i forgot to mention that loss of appetite is pretty common...it sure was for me but it will come back fast in a week or so.
I promise you bro, every single day you are clean will get better, you will think more clearly, you will want to be more social with your friends and the ladies and you will do things you love and get more outside to replace the times you normally would get high.
The sleeplessness and loss of appetite were the hard things and the real jonesing was the hardest in the first 3 or so days. AFter that it was more of a want to get high then a jonesing feeling and I will be honest, at 7 week I still sometimes want to get high. I don't crave it but like you i just love to get high...that will probably never go away lol. But that feeling is gone in a few hours or the next day and it's all good again.
Today is 7 weeks for me. I"m pretty stoked. Originally I said i"d go 3 months, but i think i'll go longer.
dude, my guitar instructor said the same thing as you about learning a few chords/notes and being able to listen to music, find the note they are playing and then jam along to it. I think thats why he's got me learning these scales at first.
Keep it up bro...you will be AMAZED at how you feel each day. The appetite will come back, you will start sleeping more but hte biggest thing is how clearly you will think and your thought processes will be clean and easier.
Keep us updated!

your totaly right ! its like 5 almosy day 6 for me and it really is getting easier and easier to do normal things without thinkin about weed. im normaly thinking about smoking a bowl before each activity i do every day hhaaha. i can look back at myself and see how being high never helped me in school like i would tell myself. or even that part time job i would never think gettin high could hurt. now i see that i didnt have that pep in my step like i do now and i feel like i could work a 18 hour day no problem . im facing test everyday with friends callin me saying they have weed and so forth.. but its so easy to ttell em no i dont wana spend my money this week on weed .. sometimes i think about buying alot to sell it kuzz i did math and since im not smokin selling weed seems to actually look like a profitible business. ive always sold a few grams here and there out my stash to try to make my money back. but i would always rush into trying to selling it. It seems if i was a seller now i could wait for weeks for a buy because im not even thinkin aBOUT weed .
my apetitiet gotten a little better ,, im still not findin myself cookin everything at once like i use to but im actually thinking about stuff i ahvent eatin n a while.
im so glad i decided to take a break becuase i am not gettin a jonesing feeling at all!! just like u i really want to get high at times but can easily find myself saying . " for what ? to whatch this movie? nah !! its gettin way easier to get my mind off it bekuz i think that was my main probelm was just always thinkin bout pot! 24 7 it seems now i come here everytime and read past post everytime i see a movie with pot in it or something. this site stopedhe jonesing for atleast 12 hours or so lol
i really am feelin great and starting to think clear and even seems like i can see clearer in a mirror but this is what i needed and im looking foward to gettin everylast trace of thc from my body.
dude i might quit for a few years i might go back in a few months but i know i will never be as bad off as i was and tthats why i feel so controled right nwo becuasei know whenever the day comes to decide to smoke.. im gonna be a higggh ass dude probly feeling like i did the second time i smoked lol
yea man ur guitar instructor really no's what hes talking about probaly.. thats some thnig i wish i had was a guitar intructor.. atleast i took guitar in school for a year but my teacher didnt play guitar hhahahhha .. but i did learn to read music but im prolly slow at it now. yea scales seem to me like they'd be 10 times more improtant then chords bekuz it seems like theres 5 chords that can fit in most songs. i like to use power chords alot! right now im learning fingerpicking on my acoustic that ive tried to master but lately since i have more energy im finding myself trying to finish things i wanted to learn years ago ! my creativity is back and i like it. i really like the new me and how i think faster and stuff sometimes. at night its really hard to not think about wweed but ive found eating a bunch will knock you out lol..
on day 6 im alrready seeing dark circles under my eyes go away my skin seems a few years younger and i also look happy without even trying ! i remember when i use to get high i could barely move my face muscles lol
since im finding myself wit more time then usual ive looked to old old hobbies like remote control cars that i use to race as a kid. i acutually fixed one up and took it outside and thought to myself what the f**k have i been missing. lol im about to excersise or sumtting (very unsual at 8 in the morning for me) but hey why not ?? ill keep ya updated ! stay on that guitar as much as u can ! try to learn diffrent types of songs then sometime soon ur hands are just gonna go ohh i know where to make that sound from that song and etc .. i remember it being so fun when i started getin the hang of it that my fingers were callases for months lol
well keep mee updated on that and ima chek in pretty soon wit my storeis lol
thanks

Hey everyone. Day 52 and still strong! Hey New Orleans, keep it up. I visited your beautiful city last spring for Jazzfest '08. It was probably the best five days of my life! I'm glad you've decided to give quitting a shot. In case you're worried about it, being un-stoned will not affect your playing or listening to music. I'm no less creative, and my playing has only gotten tighter since I quit the green. Not being baked could really help you to get your musical dreams in order, and make them happen!
Tex, it's getting easier,isn't it? :-)

Hey my boy Drum, what up!!
yeah, it truly is getting easy at this point. I am getting back into a better sleeping pattern too...I really think it was my allergies as we had a week of it off the charts to the stuff i'm most allergic to (cedar/ragweed).
I pretty much don't think about it anymore. Yes at times I wanna get high, hell I'm a stoner what can I say..lol but it passes quickly and i don't focus on it at all.
How do you like that $ in your bank account now too? Plus no more of that damn cycle having to hook up when you start running low. That was wearing me out more than I realized. hehe
My original goal was 3 months and now that I'm getting closer to that mark, I am now thinking I'm going to go longer. Haven't made any decision to quit forever but I really am liking how I am feeling, acting, and saving $.

Well the 3 month mark is coming soon...few weeks.
Sleep is coming easier when hitting the bed. It's nothing like it was the first week at all. I believe I was thinking about other things going on too much and now that those have passed, I'm falling asleep much more quickly.
Dreaming a lot and vivid too. Weird thing is the dreaming seems to make me tired. I wake up groggy and with teh dream on my mind going...damn what the hell was I dreaming THAT for. Takes a few cups of coffee to bust out of the fog.
Everything else seems great. I know this is a bad term but I seem to be more high on life. I don't focus on doing things while high. Sure, from time to time I think about getting high still b/c I'm a stoner that loves to get high. LOL
Drum..NewOrleans, how are we doing?

i been smoking for 5 to 6 years everyday probably like 3-4 times a day on average. i have to say when i started and for the first 2 years i loved it because although i smoked i was still able to act normal and function normally when i wasn't high but now after 6 years things r different.
i am paranoid i don't trust anyone sum time not even my family which is weird cuz i would die for my family i love everyone who is close to me but i dont trust them. i over analyze things and think about things that happened during they day way to much sometime i cant even sleep and i get mad at people all of the sudden because of what they had said or the way they looked at me or something. i expect respect from everyone to the point where i cant take a joke sometimes which is also weird because i am very funny. i have to say my paranoia has served me right before and helped me notice things that i wouldn't of if i wasn't paranoid but i feel like its ruining my life. i come to conclusions about situations all by my self with out approaching the problem and a few times i been right which has led me to believe that my paranoid thoughts r always right. this has made me very depressed. i use to be a social smoker and i used to get high with friends but now i been smoking by myself i notice that i keep burning bridges with people left and right and i dont care i am happy being by my self. and for the past 2 years i have become a serious smoker like i don't smoke crappy weed only the best (og kush purple, sour stuff like that) which has even more thc it gets me more high and i have become even more of a loner. i have friends but nothing to how i use to be i was probably the most popular guy at my high school i knew everyone who was anyone but now i dont keep contacts with most of them. basically i think weed is ruining my life. i dont have any other side effects from it apart from paranoia and now i think depression. i dont wana go c a shrink and all that because i am pretty good at analyzing myself but i dont think my perception of reality is right after all the screwed UP thoughts i have in my mind. i am really happy i found this website because i have never ever said all these things before and the more i am writing the more i realize that i am really messed up. i havnt smoked for the past three days now and i feel like smoking but i wont. i have quit before for 2 or 3 days but only because of a big exam or family reunions i never meant to quit permanently. even now i dont wana become one of those people that quit and become total weed haters i mean i love smoking weed it gives me the best possible feeling of relaxation and just calm mood. but i do need to quit the habit. i get my life together. everyone who knows me knows i have a lot of potential for anything and i am pretty good at everything i do and maby thats why people look at me differently now because i am not doing anything with my life. i quit college i worked like a million jobs quitting every month or so because i just flip out on all my bosses there fore i have no good references apart from my fake ones. so anyways i am sure a lot of you long term weed smokers feel like me and i am telling u i will not smoke again until i build my life back up and then i will smoke once in a while for special occasions because like i said before i LOVE weed. i been reading a few posts and i notice most of us have the same problems like no confidence depression and sum serious reality problems and i hope u all can recover just belive in urself and forget all the BS u been through like i dont know watch YES MAN and c that there is a lot more to life then just being frikkin high. i have never tried anyother drug but weed and it really affected me but i dont feel weak everyone who smokes weed will go through this at some point. but it really depends on what kind of life you want some people arent looking for change and they will never notice their disadvantages in life because of smoking. anyways i feel much better after writing this even if noone ever reads it. tonight i am inviting my friends for some drinks around the fire i wonder how thats gona b without weed lol. Anyways keep your head up quitters cuz if you quit weed you might never have to quit again.

Hey all! Tex and NewOrleans, I hope you guys are still going strong. It's been a little over three months weed-free, and I'm doing well! I still get the urge now and then, and sometimes it hits hard, but I'm staying strong. It seems like the couple weeks around the three month mark, the cravings got stronger...Tex, did that happen for you? By the way, Tool is also MY favorite band! Hell yeah. Also love Avenged Sevenfold, as far as heavy stuff.
So anyway, I had set myself up to quit weed until after my baby is born (only 5 weeks away!), then see how it fits with my life. I'm sure that being a parent will change my lifestyle quite a bit, so I'll have to wait and see if there is room in my life for responsible weed use. No smoking around/while caring for my child, no driving with it (too risky),
etc. I'm thinking I'll treat myself on my b-day (August 7th), but we'll see.
The only way for me to smoke again is to fully understand that it would be occassional, and that there are much bigger priorities that always have to come first. It can never be a lifestyle again. How's everyone else doing?
