Ok so people always use to tell me that you cant get addicted to pot,
but now, im at a point where if i have it, i have to smoke.
i cant keep myself from doing it.
one of the things ive done to help myself is ive stopped buying weed altogether.
my question is, is there anything else i can do to help myself besides just not buying weed?
Thanks,
UA
 
Get your head in order and learn to be responsible. Sorry, there is no magic way to stop yourself from buying other than being responsible or like what you are doing, just don't buy it. Of course easier said than done, but be glad that you are only psychologically addicted marijuana, and not physically or psychologically dependent on another substance, as marijuana is probably the easiest as it gets in terms of addiction.

I'm in a similar boat myself. I've been smoking like a fiend and have stop finding motivation for some of my major responsibilities. The fact that you, and I can recognized that there is an issue with our use (not the drug), we can take the steps necessary to move forward.

What I recommend is taking a break (I'm on day 19 atm), and let the fog out of your head (figurative of course). It'll take a few days to stop being irritable, sleep a restful sleep, eat a full meal in a sitting, etc (of course this depends on how the psychological dependency carries over to some sort of withdrawal for you, you may not get these symptoms). However, after a week or so, you should be able to function through your days with out much issue. To potentially get your head out of the clouds (the feeling of forgetfulness, trouble doing fast calculations in your head, etc.), it may take a few weeks longer (though it varies from person to person, if this is a problem). At this point (3-4 weeks) your tolerance should be practically non-existent, and if you feel like you can start using a limited amount, buck up and get that self control rolling. However if you don't change your daily habits (doing other stuff besides smoking weed/avoiding activities you do while your high) in the time that you are taking a break, you may fall right back into your usual patterns of use. So, I recommend trying to set up some good outlets of energy, creativity, etc, to start to create new healthier patterns in your life. Once you feel like you can incorporate marijuana back into your life in a occasional, healthy way, go for it, but make sure you don't fall back into your old ways.

Now I need to listen to my own advice :P
 
Why do you need drugs? What are you trying to achieve?

Go and see a therapist, priest, shaman, your grandmother or whoever you feel comfortable talking to about your problem, honestly.

You've made the right first step by not buying it. I got to the point where buying it was almost the most exciting thing about it.

If you can't keep yourself from smoking it then there is something wrong with your headspace, which is ok, you've realized you might have a persistent problem, my advice is get it dealt with before you waste your life.

Second time in less than a week there's a thread on this.

That's my post in the last topic, giving up anything you like is never going to be fun, you just have to be responsible and a bit of will power.

I'd be scepticle about your use of the word "addicted" though. Only people with very addictive personalities get addicted to Cannabis and if you've got an addictive personality then I would recommend that you never do any other drug EVER. Don't ever gamble or drink lawl

you know?
 
The only way you can be addicted to pot is psychologically not physically. My advise to you is get the will power to say no. Its not that hard to do. Also try to make friends who do not smoke and join activities. Find a hobbie and stick to it. Smoking weed isn't bad but if you honestly feel you can't live using it then go to na meetings. You don't really have to admit to what you're "addicted" to but you will find the guidance you need.
 
You and several others.

It's not impossible, in fact it's a fucking walk in the park compared to dropping oxymorphone, nicotine, benzos, or alcohol... and I speak there from experience.

If you want help, search CD for "MEGA I need a Break" or "MEGA QUITTING"
