Hectic!
I have been smoking weed on an everyday-basis for 12 years now and I have been thinking that it`s time for
my body to be clean of all substances in order for me to think straight and clearly.
You can think, it stays in your system for quite a while even if you don`t smoke- it`s scary...
When last did I actually have a sober thought and made the right choices for me and my life...?
I was wondering if it would affect my day-to-day life in a different way.
Spliff makes me numb to reality and really messes with my ambition-THAT`S FOR SURE!
.....And I don`t like feeling worthless and with no purpose in life...
Sometimes I get anxious and paranoid to the point where I swear to God I will
NEVER smoke another joint EVER...
Only thing is-I have been having these thoughts for probably the
last 3 years but can`t get myself to quit cold turkey.
Yes, I might stop for a day or two, but then the NEED for WEED totally takes control and I would start getting
very edgy and highly-strung...which affects everyone around me and myself.
Needless to say- I know where to find it, and I will get it.
If I don`t smoke I can go from whack-crazy-entertaining..to down right Unpleasant.
The mood swings are too ridiculous even for myself to keep up with...
The amount of energy I have is also too much for me to handle when I`m not smoking-so I just keep
on numbing myself...
I haven`t smoked in 5 days now and going strong.
I have absolutely no craving to be stoned, but I find my mind racing every now and then, thinking about it...
I guess it`s the HABIT in control of me and not me of it-which is NOT COOL.
My symptoms:
*I am not sure if pain is related to withdrawal, but I lately have much worse pain in my joints(ha-ha) than normal.
Does anybody know?
*Yes, headaches...
*I luckily don`t have any trouble sleeping and I am having
more dreams(that I can remember)
*The moods
*Heavy Depression
*Restlessness
*Not eating as much as I used to...BONUS!
I do have a great support structure,seeing as a few of my friends also stopped now since the beginning
of the New Year, and my girlfriend also want`s to stop-therefore we help and encourage and talk each other
through it.
She on the other hand is EXTREMELY snappy!
The next habit to kick will be cigarettes...and I don`t know if the ride will be as
smooth as this one(and you know it`s not)
Guess it`s just one day at a time!
Just felt like sharing my reality and my addiction with anyone who cares.
Peace in the Middle-East

I don't know about marijuana addiction, but I do however know about others (cigarettes!)
What worked for me was:
1. Getting a hobby
2. Finding something to do when I got a craving. For example when I had a craving I would either take a walk/exercise, chew gum, work, clean, basically anything that kept me occupied.
3. As far as your pain... I think I know what you mean.. and I think it mainly involves your mind and not necessarily you hurting. When I quit smoking, I pretty much focused on any "reason" to start back up.
4. Meditation and/or Yoga exercises.
Other ideas:
Support group
write down your goals
Look in the mirror and be totally honest with yourself! Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Build up your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Keep an active log on this and combine this with your goals.
I think this will help you decide things for yourself in the long run as well.
