Marijuana cravings, but have not smoked it in 3 months
Have not been on here in a very long time, most probably do not know my history to begin with so here is what it is, maybe it will play a role in helping you to understand my brain: I am 17, smoked weed at 13 and recently stopped a couple months ago. What is more is that I was a full blown IV heroin addict from age 15-17 went to rehab four times in one year.
So, now, I have been smoking 'spice' every night before I go to bed. I am planning on just stopping once I run out, for I will not be able to purchase it any longer and I really have not been trying to get money to get more. However, I am have been getting really strong urges to smoke weed. Like very strong ones to where I can feel almost physically in my brain!
What do you think would cause such strong cravings for a chemical I have not had in months? Could it be the synthetic Cannabinoids in the 'spice' that is cause cravings for the THC? Or is it more of a thought process rather an actual physical craving for a chemical?
I know it is verily my addictive thinking. I know to look, however, to what has happened in the past to overcome these cravings. But why is it so hard to stop these cravings? I know that it has to end some time that I will not be smoking forever-or I simply cannot, practically.
