Quit the girlfriend, not the weed haha :D

Seriously, though, that's like the opposite of what my girl tells me. When she sees my famous temper coming out she's like 'Go smoke a bowl right now'. If I've run out she will go buy it for me.
 
^^had to quit a few months ago because of proby...basically, i did it by switching to alcohol and ciggies, though im not suggesting that for you....the other thing that helped me was getting out and doing stuff, not staying at home...the first month was hard, but at this point i dont even want to smoke, weed just tastes gross to me
 
The worst part for me quiting smoking was the boredom... I would usually get stoned and play a video game, the guitar or just socialize etc. When i have quit (done this multiple times after smoking a quarter a day for 4+ months) I just found other things to occupy my time. If your girlfriend is serious about you quitting then tell her she better make up to you with time in the room. I always found that fucking would take anything off my mind, even withdraws from opiates.
 
Fuck, man, that sucks ass. Sorry to hear it. Find yourself a girl who is going to accept you for you.
 

Bold and Italics to help you get an idea of my post without having to read it all.

Ok, hi all
I'm back. I've cleaned up my act with all the other drugs, so now weed has hit the list. :(
I'm going to have trouble quitting becauseusually I'm stoned when I'm at home on my bed, and that is where I spend a lot of time, watching TV or on the computer because that is where the bf is as well, gaming or working. And often I will use it when I'm stressed, to help me sleep or I have a horrible migraine headache I can't get over and think about the pain constantly. It takes my mind off it. So I do also use it medicinally as well as for recreation.

I need to stop because I'm going to school and I'll be looking for a "professional" job soon, not that everywhere else doesn't drug test. But the stress of messing up trying to fake a drug test is too much, not to mention I could ruin some opportunities if I mess it up. I'd rather just know.
(ok, strange analogy but its like wondering if your pregnant but not knowing for sure kind of stress, that is the only thing I can relate it too, perhaps it is the impact positive or negative that might have on your life relating to what you want).

I should be working harder on finishing with school, stats and computer program homework. That is what I SHOULD be doing if I was working 100% towards my goals...with cleaning and home improvement on the side...
But I'm a stoner, I don't really want to do those things, nor really have the motivation to do them. My motivation is to be stoned and MAYBE do them. :)

I know what I SHOULD be doing and how I get there but how do I get the MOTIVATION to go so over the MOTIVATION to go get stoned. "Keep your eyes on the prize, isn't really working with this serious case of senoritis I have right now.

My plan is to quit on the 1st of September, continue smoking until then, but Wed quit cold turkey.Seroquel to help me sleep, and Kpins for anxiety...they are legal and scripted to me so, it doesn't matter if I take them. They are tools, I should maybe use them if I want or need to.

My concerns are my habituation and "craving" but its all mental, which actually its always been the mental and not physical that got me with drugs. Also, I have an special occasion to do something I really love doing stoned coming up on the 18th, I'm going to try not to cheat, with just a hit or 2.

Hey man, maybe it's for the best. It has to suck now and I'm sorry to hear that but there are always others. Hell, my girlfriend is from Switzerland! Just get out there and do your thing. The next relationship will come when you are least expecting it. Until then, enjoy you weed! haha

Keep your chin up!
 
hey man, we are hear to help. let us know whats going on. breaking up with a girl is tough at the best of times!
 
If you are in no rush to quit, think about scaling things back a whole lot first. Only smoke weekends, and only after u have finished study. Go back to basics. You just need to feel like u have the ability to overcome bordem without it.. if sitting on your bed makes u crave, go out and do some exercise, get another hobby like an aquarium. Make the most of your time off from weed, not just sitting around waiting to get high.
 
Advice

how do you guys go about stopping?

I'm 22 and have smoked almost everyday since I was 13. I conciously gave up for the first time ever (as in I could smoke but didn't) in May this year. To do it, I locked my weed in my car to stop me slipping at 10pm into grabbing my papers and making a joint. By me having to make a reasonably big effort to go and fetch my weed it was easier to give up. I also bought an add on for GTA4 which gave me something to do instead. The first few days were shit, mainly because I couldn't sleep, but after a while it is worth it (partly just to dream again). This was also made easier by the fact that I had impending exams, which was the reason to give up in the first place. It was quite cool feeling more energetic and my concentration improved pretty quickly.

But... then once exams were done and dusted I slipped back to my old ways. I've only got a couple of grams left now and that's going to be the last for a while. I say this because SWIM had grown it but isn't anymore. I don't know anywhere else to get it so I'll be forced to go cold turkey again. So in answer to the quote - if you're serious it would seem like a pretty good idea to delete your dealer's number, because as we all know, it's just too easy to give in and get stoned again.

I have smoked weed every day since I was 14 I am now 19 since the last 4 months I only smoke at weekends I don't feel the need to weekdays I feel 100% better I used to be very paranoid all the time and mumble when I speak I still mumble but I am not paranoid at all so I think I'll just stick to weekends.
 
^yup, that's what I did. Put it away in the closet. My smoking area was my bed, so not much I can do there. But I think I have nailed down a job that it won't really matter at...BUT I may stay clean just in case, also just in case I hate the job and I'll have my degree and I KNOW they will test me at certain jobs. Although I have a way to fake it, I'd rather not HAVE to.

8 days out and I think I'm ok. I drink more and pop my scripts more when I try to quit. I need to learn to relax without the weed!
