Thank you so much for all these postings. It is inspiring to know that there are many people out there trying to quit. My best wishes to all.
I feel like weed is lowering my potential. I just want to lay around and get high. I speak 2 languages and when i'm high I just mix up everything. I lost my job for other reasons and the more I spend at home, the more I want to smoke and the more lazy i get.
I started smoking when I was 16, the longest that i have been without smoking is 4 days. I want to quit but it is so available for me. My husband smokes too, 1 or 2 joints per day. I feel like it doesn't matter if I stop, he will still want to buy for himself and smoke in front of me. I dont know what to do. I feel so stupid n depressed :-(

Firstly i'd like to thank all for their stories and experiences.
I am 35yrs old and have been smoking weed most days for nearly 20 years, i smoke between 3-4 grams per week which works out at about 2-3 joints a day.
I know this has been affecting my life in so many ways over the years but the last 3 years have been a nightmare, i have no drive or ambition anymore i have become lazy and i avoid any social situations if i can help it, my paranoia has become overbearing lately to the point i dont go out of the house most days and not so long ago i didnt go out for nearly 3 weeks because of fear that people are looking and judging me, when i walk down the road i am extremly self-concious.
I have 3 children and i feel guilty that i am unable to give them a better quality of life because of my habit, they want to go places and do things and it makes me feel f*****g sick that i am letting them down to satisfy my own selfish needs.
I used to be quite active, if i wasnt working i was fishing, golfing, i had a season ticket for my local football team but i dont go anymore. i also loved having days out with the family, but for about the last 3 years i have done none, i walked out of my job and never went back leaving some good friends behind and to this day i dont have a reason when people ask me why, but deep down i know why.
Like most people i started smoking with friends as a social thing, a few joints while watching tv, playin games havin a laugh and munching but as the years went on and we went our seperate ways i carried the habit on and it is no fun no more, just a curse.
Family relations are at an all time low, i am at an all time low and i just dont feel like a man, i feel like a junkie waste of space, boring, lazy, no
motivation, petty minded and scared of what the future holds if i carry on down this road.
I know i have to quit for myself and my familys sake. I am the kind of person who finds it hard to ask for help through fear of being judged but now i just gotta bite the bullet and go cold turkey.
I did quit once for about 5 weeks for no reason, it wasnt planned or anything i just didnt feel like getting stoned although i did find myself drinking more and smoking a lot of cigarettes.
Also as has been mentioned in a lot of posts i suffered from insomnia for about the 1st 2 weeks and when i did sleep i had some crazy lucid dreams and was very irritable and bored, everthing was boring without being stoned, although admittedly towards the end of the 5 weeks i was feeling more confident and had more energy and motivation so i know quitting will have very possitive effects in the long run, its just sticking it out long enough to get it beat and make sure i dont relapse again.
Anyone who says weed is not addictive are just kidding themselves, ok it doesnt have the physical symptoms of say, alcohol or harder drugs but the psychological effects of long term use are just as devastating and just as hard to kick, if everything in your life is built around weed and you will do anything to make sure you always have it then you are an addict.
Today i am taking the first step towards kicking this habit and getting my life back to normal. I know now i need to do this more than ever now, i just wanna feel good and alive again and not live under a constant cloud of depression and self loathing.
I wish everyone on here who is taking the same journey the best of luck, im sure if i can do it anyone can.
I will be posting on here weekly to keep people updated with my experiences and any symptoms i may suffer and i hope other people will do the same, maybe we
can help each other.

its been the second day with out smoking weed. i been taking 3 to 5 hits a day for the last couple of months.. i didnt even get the high i wanted anymore.. im 22 i have a 3 year old daughter i want to this for her mainly i cant carry on this guilt i have of not spending enough time with my little girl and buy her the things she needs.. i never felt this bad for my self.. i wanna thank you guys for all ur stories im really inspired and happy to make this step..good luck and cheers! George
Wow, this is very encouraging/inspiring webpage. Thank you all for taking the time to write yall experiences. i myself am 22, and i have been smoking since i was 18 (4 years) and i can't belief time flies sooo fast. to read about ppl who smoked for 20-30 years let's me know that i need to tackle this problem now or later. the sooner the more TIME i will be saving. 4 years is ridiculous in itself. i started with meeting a rnmd dude who became a friend. we smoked once a week then it became like everyday. it was such a euphoric experience and the fact that i just jumped into society at 18 from my house, it seemed like getting high and actin goofy was a big part of life. 4 years later, i've switched lotsa of friends, lost my non smoking buddies form high school days. (i don't have the desire to call them and hang out.) my smoking buddies im having trouble with because all of us are ruining our lives with this. and it's getting louder in our heads by the day. i feel alone, and feel enslaved to this pot. i have decided to qiut this is my first day. wish me luck

Hi all, thanks for sharing your experiences, it really helps to know i am not alone in this struggle.
I am 20 years old and have smoked pot regularly for 5 years, i went from being a overachiever with the hottest girlfriend to dropping out of school and lonely because my depression has pretty much destroyed all the confidence i once had, most of the people i was friends with were all very bright and intelligent but tragically our friendship degenerated into little more than meeting up to consume pot / alcohol as we all fell victim.
To cut down on my smoking i had to distance myself from practically all my friends, i became lonely, they hated me and felt i cheated them, truth was that i was sick of relationships that revolved around little more than pot/alcohol and i felt i needed change.
It was a real growing up point for me, the things that people my age i interested in doing, i found myself sick of doing, i cant be bothered drinking and going to parties to chase trampy girls, i would rather stay home, stay sober and surround myself with the only people that matter, my parents.
Obviously i have become a major nerd/loner and so be it, the irony is i once was the complete opposite type of person, always drinking partying hooking up with girls and never showing up to school.
Even after i dropped out of the crowd i find myself still smoking, only this time by myself, i fool myself into believing it is a step in the process for me as i was smoking a lot less than i was when i was in the "crowd".
I am extremely unhealthy, i smoke large amounts of cigarettes and have a very poor diet. I havent eaten breakfast for years, i recently got a scare when i found myself going through a period where i could go a whole 24 hours without feeling hungry once, if im not smoking pot i feel nausea before/after i eat meals, i regularly find myself giving in just so i can have a meal.
I deeply regret ever touching it, if i hadn't then maybe i wouldn't have gone from being the most popular, funny and confident person i was years ago to the lonely and depressed person i am now. I am reall unhealthy as i dont get hungry unless i smoke pot and as a result of my abstaining i have not been eating much ever since.
I believe i have wasted thousands of my mom and dads hard earned money over the years, this is something that really depresses me, i really want to make some money just so i can pay them back.
Thankfully pot didnt take me over so mcuh that i got to the point where i had to steal from them or be untrustworthy, however for a long time all my pocket money went directly to pot, this and me dropping out of school i feel i have betrayed my parents, they really deserve better than me.
I haven't yet seeked any help for my depression because i am in denial, i tell myself that im ok and ill pull tahrough, the only thing that really makes me genuinely happy is my mom and dad. They are really the only reason why i would never attempt to take my own life no matter what the situation.
I am so scared of being a 30 year old and in the same financial situation, this scares the hell out of me, i need real change and it is this desire that is fueling my latest attempt to drop it altogether. Even though im not hungry i just force food down my throat for the sake of my health, so far it has been working ok. I still have nausea but somehow i pull through it.
People say pot is harmless, my experience is that it is harmless until it eventually/inevitably crushes your motivation to do anything with your life and greatly handicaps your potential. This is what happened to me and many people whom i have known.

Good post. I've quit before and am on a quitting streak again. Very accurate advice. I bookmarked it for future reference. GL everyone you're doing a heck of a brave and rightous job.
Wow, what a great thread to have happened upon. Everybody sharing and asking for help with the weed really reinforces the fact that I'm not alone and there are lots of people who most likely feel just like I do, that weed is in the way but it's hard to let go of. It feels really good for the first 20 minutes, by the fourth smoke session of the day, what's the point of even getting out of bed? I don't do anything. My life is in shambles all around me, is it the pot, I wouldn't put all the blame there, in fact I wouldn't blame the pot at all - - I would say that it's just prolonging the things I have to do to clear up my life. It's a really great and accessible distraction for one's life. Get stoned, it's all gravy after that. I don't go out. I am in debt. Yet I get stoned and think that something is going to change. One day it's going to miraculously change. It's not. I think I smoke so much 'cause I'm afraid to look at the mess that has become my life. Ah, it's probably not that bad, I'm paranoid that it is, another silly thing pot introduces into one's life. Anyway, everybody has written such great things and inspiring, too. I am looking for that inspiration to ignite the will power within and ride it out. I wish everyone here the best of luck. God bless. Breathe easy.
Thank You everyone for sharing your stories.
Today is day one.
I have smoked pretty much everyday for 11 years. Everyone around me (husband, mom, sister, m-i-l, dad, aunt & uncle, best friends) everyone I know smokes, or doesnt mind that I do. Id like to think I fool the few ppl in my life that dont know anout my habit. But Im probably fooling myself....
My husband has been saying I seem depressed lately. Ive been too stoned to notice I guess.... But hes right. Its ruining my life.
I have so many plans. So much time has been wasted. No motivation to do anything. I procrastinate to the point of ruining my life.
I feel like I need the weed for everything. To eat breakfast, to clean the house, to lay around & be lazy.....everything!
Ive wnated to quit for awhile. Yesterday my husband said hed quit with me. Actually he said " he could use a break too"
So thats the plan. We smoked the last of it & we dont plan to get anymore.
Not sure how I will handle the next family function as it is what ties the family together,,,, But I THINK ill have there support.
I didnt realize that there would be withdrawl symptoms. Scared about that. The next few days will be hard, but If I can get through them.....
I look forward to the day when my head feels clear, Im not thinking about the next buzz & I have the desire & motivation to do something....

I feel like I'm in the same shoes as everyone who has posted here....I am 19 years old and have been smoking for 6 years straight not missing one month or week without having taken at least one hit. Usually I would smoke everyday, about 6 times a day, every week every month of the year....and now I have come to realize that I am an addict (well I realized a long time ago but didn't seem to care). Now that I can see that it is affecting my life in a negative way, I want to quit.
I remember being 13 before I started smoking and I was a completely different kid, always talking always wanting to go out and encourage people to have fun or be happy, and ever since I started smoking I could care less about anyone but myself.
I almost destroyed my relationship with my gf who I have been with for 3 years now because I was smoking so much that I made it seem like our relationship didn't mean much to me.....even though my relationship really means everything to me and it is the weed that makes me lazy and have a bad attitude towards everything.
I didn't realize so many people felt the same way I did about smoking....I thought I was crazy and was completely alone when saying that weed has created SO many problems in my life and is continuing to do so.
Everyone in my family knows I smoke (except my grandmother), and I have convinced them over the years that it doesn't change me. My mom basically believes that I am a very stressed out, unhappy, angry young man that uses weed to help relieve those things when in reality it is the weed that makes me feel stressed out, unhappy, and angry all the time.
I think part of the reason I havn't been able to quit is because I worked so hard at convincing everyone that weed didn't change me, that I ended up convincing myself for a while.
I KNOW that weed makes me a shittier person to be around (not to say weed makes people like this, just saying the way I used it made me that way).
Because I smoked as a kid it led me into situations where other drugs were present and of course I tried them.....anyone who says weed isnt a gateway drug is not being practical. I feel weed can be a gateway drug when you are using it while being around other people who do harder drugs and also smoke weed. They will convince you that harder drugs are the same as weed just more intense in feeling and experience....obviously wrong, just good old peer pressure convincing me of BS.
I destroyed my grades and didn't get into college and took an entire year off after high school doing nothing more than waisitng my parents money and my time just getting high ALL THE TIME.
I have gotten to the point where my life was literally revolving around weed. I would smoke it, I moved to somewhere where I could grow it ending up being farther from home and all my friends, I spent thousands of dollars on weed if not over 10 thousand dollars in the 6 years I have smoked(and I have only had a job once for a few months so all of this money basically came from my parents...), I have given up oppurtunity after oppurtunity to just say f**k it and get high instead, I have destroyed relationships, have made my parents and friends and gf feel like sh*t when I am moody because I am high or want to get high, and have definitely changed the direction of my life for the worse because of how much I made life revolve around weed.
I just don't want weed influencing me anymore, it has completely determined where I have wanted to go in life and it digusts me how much I have given up just to get high and be around weed all the time.
I feel like weed has influenced everything I have done since I was 13 and has led me into so many bad situations that I can't believe I was that stupid to have not seen what it was leading me to do.
Sorry if my story is all over the place but I just felt like typing all of this to get it out, feels good although my family is really the people I should be telling this to....only reason I don't want to is because of how bad I might make them feel or guilty that they let me become like this (even though they shouldn't because the only person that got me where I am is myself).
I want to quit, I am ready to quit, and I definitely NEED to quit to better my life for myself and those around me.

Hi,i read some of your posts and it was with great relief to realise that other people share similar experiences as i have become a recluse of sorts.I was 35 years old in january and i have been smoking cannabis for about 18 years.Last born in a financially well off family of four children,three of which don't drink or smoke.
I didn't finish university despite being very intelligent as i would always get bored a year in to my course and would rather face my night club business.I went to three different universities on three different continents and the story was the same everytime.I have made subtantial success of my businesses which include entertainment,oil and gas,dog farm e.t.c. but decided to sell up two years ago after losing my dad.I lost interest in all social activities and would stay indoors with one girlfriend or another and just get high and have sex.However i recently discovered i am due a huge inheritance(much more than i have ever had or seen) and i recognise now more than ever as the time to stop smoking as i realise i am not getting any younger and would love to settle down with a wife i love and spoil and have healthy children.
Your posts helped me realise i am not an isolated case and fired up my determination to quit and suceed at quiting...for this i say thank you all and good luck!

I had my first smoke when i was 13 and continued flat out every day or when i had it.
it was the first thing that i did when i woke or even woke in the middle of the night and felt like i needed one.
that was all we did smoke drink do speed, party. i started to forget best mates and even my family.My day was all about when is my next bong, or i wonder if ............ has any. f*****g sad. somehow when i turned 18 i started to slow down i started to make decisions in my life (GOOD ONES). i stopped all contact with friends whom i did it with. got back into fitness and then became a fitness junky.
buttttt every where you go it will always be there. new people new friends its always there. i was off the sh*t for at least 2 years. and just couldn't resist when being in the path of it. it does make it easier to make new friends and meet new people.
but it aint good not at all. long term effects that slowly arise just look at the older bong heads baggy eyes dark rings wrinkly skin 20 years added to there look. it aint worth it. i am now 26 and still scoring and smoking the sh*t now thats f*****g sad. but i think tomorrow i will playit clean no morning bong nothing. it's time to GIVE the sh*t up. Again or try at least no harm in that.
dont know why i did a search on how to stop smoking pot, but reading a few post made me relize that we are all the same and all have great positions in life. and any change in ones life is always positive. i hope you all get what you want out of life and share it with the ones that love you and care about you.
now wheres my stash
joke .

dont know why i did a search on how to stop smoking pot, but reading a few post made me relize that we are all the same and all have great positions in life. and any change in ones life is always positive. i hope you all get what you want out of life and share it with the ones that love you and care about you.
now wheres my stash
joke .
Great to hear that some of my experiences are shared by others.
I'm 32 and have been smoking weed heavily since 17. I can count of the fingers of one hand the number of days I have been without it in the last 15 yrs. In the past I would boast about that statistc but now find it quite depressing. I last had a smoke about 4 days ago, and have found the symptoms of withdrawl to be immediate and in some cases quite unpleasant. I'm getting very little sleep (3-4 hrs a night), and have developed an infected cyst on my neck which has led to my lymph gland swelling up. It seems to me like my body is detoxing, and these are the concequences. My appetite has shrunk....I'm probably eating about 40% of my previous diet and have lost several lbs in a matter of days.....I'm only 12st 8lbs anyway. My head constantly throbs with a dull headache, and I feel aches all over my body.
Good luck to anyone else in the midst of quitting. I'm going out tonight and know the temptation will be there to pick up.....lets see what happens!!

ok my name isnt entirely true but let me say im 21 now and was smoking weed on and off "due to cops breaking my stride" and or other things. but in the last year i have been smoking heavily. i live in cali and i get my cannabis from a legal source now...and am only purchasing the top of line. big mistake. i was buying a quarter every other day for me and my girlfriend and the quarter for what i got was 110 dollars so...you can see the debt issues it will cause. but...my anxiety has gone through the roof in the last month. ive had very many minor panic attacks and in the last week was prescribed zoloft...im waiting still to see how it works...i was smoking anywhere between 5 and 10 bong hits a day. now due to anxiety and fear i smoke one or two bong hits.i have had acid reflux which caused me to be scared to eat...i for months was in a vicious circle of "having" to smoke just so i could put some food down so i could throw it up later...mainly due to my smoking. i have now for only 3 days had 2 bong hits per day....its almost noon today i havent smoked yet but my whole entire body sure could use it. i have a 1/4 "110 dollars worth" right next to me and i dont necesarily wanna smoke because of fear.but my cravings and body shakes and cold sweat makes me think i should just maybe take one hit...i do think its alot more wise to slowly come off weed rather than cold turkey. but dont fool yourself when your stopping you actually need to decrease use i would think daily cuz the real body urges do come within the first month..."since thc is still inside you" its like your starving for it. i cant go off pot without meds.. my background had anxiety in it due to my dad dieing from lung cancer when i was 10. so i have the thought in my mind that i already have lung cancer and it wont go away please work zoloft. i dont want weed anymore. i want to feel awake normal and healthy...i have already lost 55lbs from my acid reflux thing and im now weight wise in shape...but i feel like my lungs are trapped in hell. just to let everyone know "i was the guy who took the fattest bong tokes" which means...more tar more carcinogens and more chance of emphysema. last but not least....im obviously a wreck and i know this wont help anyone but maybe someone shares my same problems?
