Do you ever have super bad weed cravings?

when i have weed i crave it like crazy. i will try to get home from work early to smoke a spliff before dinner, i will cancel on friends to spend the evening smoking joints and playing video games, i will smoke at 1:00 am even though i have work at 8:00 and will be a fucking wreck. thats why i decided to quit smoking it a week ago. so far its worked and i havent had even the tiniest puff in 7 days. it was hard at first, my cravings were strong, but with each added day of sobriety my feeling of accomplishment and the inhibtion to smoke get stronger.

i already feel a lot better about myself and i advise everyone with a pot addiction to count your losses and quit. dont wait for external influences to pull you out of your addiction like i did. 'when i move into the city im gonna quit anyways cause i will be going out a lot more' - nope.. 'when i have a girlfriend i wont have time to smoke and ill quit' - nope... 'when i get rid of my stoner roommate ill be able to quit easily' - nope... it became to obvious to me that it was ME who had to make the change if i wasnt going to be a stoner 10 years from now. im not saying weed is all bad, but if you cannot control your use then you are probably better off without it.

there have been moments in the past 7 days where i thought 'in this situation its totally fine to take a few puffs, its not like im alone on my couch'. but this is the type of thinking that made me fail in all my previous attempts. do it once and your inhibitions to do it again are lowered and before you know it you bought a gram for yourself and are smoking it on your couch. ive tried to quit cigarettes many times and i have been successful for the last 2 1/2 years. and why? because for the past 2 1/2 years i have not touched a single cigarette. my inhibitons to smoke are through the roof. it took a whie to get them there, but now id rather shoot myself in the leg than take a drag from a cigarette. i realized that i need to do the exact same thing for weed and now im just doing it. every time i decline a joint my desire to smoke decreases noticably. all i need to do is get through the 10 minutes its lit and im golden.

i know im just 7 days in but i can feel that im done with weed, for good.

Nah, I'm good, thanks.

Congrats on your success but I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that I'll be smoking weed for the rest of my life.
 
I didn't smoke for over a month... And damn this thread makes me crave it bad. It's nothing compared to when you just quit smoking after a long time of daily usage though.

I'll restart smoking soon, but i'll do it only 2-3 times a week... Well I'll try to :D
 
I do when I smoke everyday for a long time and suddenly stop but it usually stops completely after two weeks.
 
Its been almost a month now since i quit. Weed was my heroin, everytime i got money it went straight to weed it was rediculous.As soon as i got $10 i got a gram or when i had enough a quarter, id have to smoke one or two good sized joints to get outa bed.I would wake up feeling sore and had no ambition until i smoked, and i would smoke 3,4,5 times a day usually 2 good sized joints at a time, it depended on how much i had but id go through about a quarter in 3 days, i never had money to do anything else because i was always blowing it on weed and i live in the sticks so id have to throw $20 in gas in my car just to go get some.

For the last 3 years i couldnt sleep without it, but i also have anxiety so i thought it was just that.I was ALWAYS irritated without it, like there was always this irritating buzz going through my body and i was always quick to snap on someone for nothing.I even had my doctor up my dose of effexor xr to 75mg because i thought the anxiety was the cause and the weed was helping it but i couldnt have been more wrong.Without it i couldnt sleep, id sweat like crazy, didnt eat (fuck if i didnt smoke weed id probably weigh 50lbs less haha but im starting to lose weight now) and i would be crawling around my bedroom floor looking for crumbs like a crackhead, fuck i even put my glass bong in a plastic bag and smashed it to scrape the insides for resin.I figured if i didnt get help i end up in psycosis from lack of sleep, like i'd be up all night till 12pm the next day, crash and sleep for maybe 2 hours and do the same thing the next night i was going insane.

I finally explained my symptoms to my doc and she said i was physically addicted (dont flame me for this, im sure it was psycological) she prescribed me a weeks supply of benzos (serax) i would take 30mg around 3pm and another 30mg when going to sleep.Everytime i bought a quarter id always think theres money i could have spent on something better than smoking it, and now i can do that :)

Now i have ambition to actually go outside and do things, im a gearhead oil flows through my veins :) and now all the money i was wasting on weed i can put into the few projects i have around the yard. I cant say i dont miss weed, the benefits of not smoking far outweigh the ones from smoking for me, my anxiety is way down.

its weird when i get money now, i dont know what to do with it lol i was so used to running out and blowing it on weed.Im just glad it was weed i was addicted to this bad and not opiates or coke.This beautiful island i live on is plagued with pharm opiate abuse, it seems to be all everyone in the towns and city (yes we have 1 city) do.

sorry if this post looks like a scatter brained mess.
 
I crave weed acutely when I'm watching a movie about weed, or when I listen to comedians talk about weed. I've learned to limit my weed-themed video watching. If I am out of weed, I watch or listen to something besides cannabis themed programs.

That one applies to me too hehe. If I keep myself moderately distracted, I don't really crave for weed at all. However, I have had problems with insomnia for my whole life so whenever it's time to sleep and I just can't sleep, I start craving like mad because I know it helps me get sleep (or makes me not care about not being able to sleep). Sometimes psychedelic music makes me crave weed a bit if I haven't been smoking in a while, especially if I have listened to said music when I was high.
