Hey guys,
Well since I was 13 I have smoked weed up until 6 months ago when I quit when I was nearly 19. So I was smoking weed for just under 6 years almost daily. I quiet enjoyed this lifestyle until it started to ruin my job/career prospects. So I decided to stop... I was confident all along I could go with out right since the day dot. turns out its not as easy as that. I found I needed to get rid of those friends that the only reason yous are friends is because you smoke weed together... no actual friendship is there. With them gone, it was easier but still quiet difficult. You see I don't like to think of weed as an addiction, its more like a rut that is hard to get out of. I found you need to remove yourself from the "Scene" Lose touch with the bad influences, dealers and scabby stoner friends. The fact of the matter is once you remove yourself from the "Scene" it is very very easy and after 1 week bong free guaranteed you will be thinking a lot clearer and smarter (particularly if you were a heavy smoker). For me I moved towns to stop but that's what it took. Now I only ever smoke weed now when I visit my sister in my old town because its the only place I can get on. I now smoke once every few months and I enjoy it ALOT more when its like that. I guess im trying to say it isn't as hard as people think and you do start to think clearer.
Just thought I would share this because I know how hard it is for some people to stop smoking weed and just thought I would put my 2c in how I managed to stop smoking. Hope this helps someone
