hey
ive been smoking weed and cigs for 30 years and my mate has just died on christmas day leaving a young family..
ive tried giving up before and beleive me i love weed,but the thought of putting my family thru the hell that happened to him has been a total motivator.if u cant do it for yourself,do it for someone that u love
its been 19 days and i know i will NEVER have another cig
maybe treat myself to a hashcake sometime but i would suggest that you give up smoking before it gives you up
good luck
hey i've been smoking weed and cigs for about 4 years now and i really want to quit! I've tried quitting cigs but it i ended up smoking more weed and eventually started cigs again not proud of that. I just recently started to quit both i am on my 2 day and the craving for a cig is really getting to me i find my self pacing around my room for no reason and have been more agitated when asked simple questions. whats worst is the fact that all my friends smoke weed and it is difficult to say no to weed when it is so easy to get. i don't want to look back on my life to see that i have accomplished nothing. I know that i am going to have to make some serious changes in my life but i know that it will be for the better.
it's sounds to me like the effects of not smoking is clouding your judgment you are in affect throwing your life away to feel down in order to draw you back in. hang in there.
Hey guys I have been reading all of your posts whenever it gets tough. I smoked marijuana for 2.5 years and cigarettes lightly for a few years before coming a full-time smoker 2 years ago. I as well drank a lot of coffee, needless to say I was a person who kept in his shell. I recently moved and when I started smoking up here I noticed I was getting very panicky. So I took 3-4 days off.. And decided one night to try it again. I smoked about 4 puffs and went into a full blown panic attack. It was the scariest experience of my life and I vowed never to touch it again. It's been about 4 weeks sober from marijuana and about 3 from cigarettes and coffee. All cold turkey, so this next part goes out to all your friends who told you it has no side effects. If you are a daily smoker, the anxiety is incredible.. And with time it will get better, but you have to know not every day is going to get better, there will be setbacks. Your goal is to fight through those very setbacks, because this Is the feul you need to keep your fire going. my passion and determination to be a better person is what keeps me going. Do yourself a favor and get yor life back. If you're asking yourself "will I ever be the same?" You're god damn right you will. It's a fight against your body, every single day is a fight. And there are days when you feel like you'll never win. Remember, the easiest things in life are the least rewarding. Do it for yourself, do it for those who love you. Do it for every person who doesn't think they can, because you can be their example like I hopefully am yours. I will never go back down that road, because I'm better than that. And so are you.

Hi I am really interested to hear your views on quitting smoking ciggies and weed. I gave up weed for 5 years after 20 years of daily smoking and did get a bad withdrawal at first which lasted a few weeks, then it went no problem, like anything this was mostly in my mind just had to find other things to pre occupy myself. I have recently given up smoking both cigarettes after 28 years and weed which i now only do once or twice a month socially and I have found it so much easier than i thought it would be. I read Allan Carr's book and as a pessimist I never thought it would work for me but hey it has so that is cool. I have had no bad withdrawal times, no massive mood swings ( and even my husband will vouch for that one ha! ha!) and I have not stopped enjoying anything, especially a great sex life, in fact I can only say things are better in my life , smell, taste, energy levels, no smokers cough, not as stressed, more clarity of thought, if my opinion counts for anything I would say give them both up, after a while it drags you down you just can't see it!
GOOD LUCK!
Hey, i quit smoking weed for about almost two months now, man it feels so good to write this, yeahh! It wasn't as hard as i thought;i did it! (i) but i am stuggling with letting my long term friend go ciggarettes! I am alost 26, but i did it once and ill do it again. When i stopped weed my days were brighter and nights were restless, i got over heated ,but now since i stopped i feel like the woman i always wanted to be!!!!
Some of you blokes are way to harsh about weed smokers. Some people actually need it and while i agree that it is harmful for a persons future, it isn't THAT harmful. I smoked it for years and managed to become a very skilled guitarist from the beginning to the end of my smoking habbits. I'm quitting now cause i realize what a waste of time and good health it is... THAT IS ALL. I don't believe smoking pot means you are a loser, i believe smoking pot is a way to stimulated your creativity and spirit. Making a habit of smoking it is a loser like activity, but it doesn't mean you're a loser. CARL SAGAN SMOKED IT FFS!!!
Cigs don't do anyone any good especially when they are addicted. No one can just smoke one cig a day and not become addicted. Nicotine plays with your body both mentally and physically.
hey....like you I smoked tons of weed and tobacco during the day.. i would put tobacco in my bowls as apposed to smoking the cigs in between (which is worse for u anyways).... as for the crying and anxiety.. that will happen at first but obviously stop. I quit (weed&tobacco bowls) cold turkey one time and it was brutal. I was having sex with my boyfriend and out of no where started to cry. Bawl. I didnt know why, i was just so emotional and going through withdrawal. But the brutal day time and even more brutal night time sleeps ended after about 5 days. I only quit for a month, got back into it, and have been heavily smoking again for a year. Now that it is 2013 i have VOWED to quit. I am on day 3. SO HARD.... BUT YOU CAN DO IT TOO... as for the friends... thats a really tough situation, as most of my friends are stoners as well... try to hang out with them AFTER they get high.. like if youre all planning on going to see a movie, or going to a bar, or restaraunt , or concert... meet them there. Because they are most likely having a session before. AND after. You will feel like sh*t having to do this but after a while itll feel amazing. Youll realize the better side, and maybe youll even realize they were never your real friends to begin with, and were just a community of ppl to get high with. whenever you are tempted just scream NO in your mind. tell yourself you are strong and you have the will power to say NO!! I hope you can get through this.. I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS. it sucks. and you hate it while your in the addiction. SO GET OUT. you can. we all can!!! Support groups are also good.. even AA... i know ur not an alcoholic but it really helps to relate to people who have the same strength of addiction. HOPE YOU SUCCEED!!!!!
hey i have quit weed and fags for 4 weeks now just literally told myself i cant do it anymore i had smoked both for a 11 years and i am only 24 so started young and i have just broken up from someone i was in love with which doesnt help. but it is the best thing i have ever done in my life and dont know why i destoyed my body all them years, i feel very strange and the anxiety is horrible at night and in the morning, but just dealing with it as it doesn't last long. i think going to the gym and jogging in the morning helped me get to this stage with out giving in and just keeping myself busy is the main thing. it is possible to do both and in my eyes if you do both ur more likely not to look back.. help this helps people in some way...
i've recently quit both and i've been going to the gym a lot and have a lot of energy. All i can say is that i feel great. You should explain things without fighting then maybe if he is a real man he'll understand. For men its the testosterone levels that come back im very aggressive now so its a normal thing. Marijuana messes with your hormones. When high we do things that are dumb agreed? Well once we are sober we realize that maybe we are not enjoying certain things and your going through post acute withdrawl look it up... this way you'll be more prepared glad i could help
