Dope.

[Mist.]

So I decided im going to quit smoking pot. For reasons that are not really worth typing because its whatever lol.
But today in my 8th period class I spent the whole period rolling a skittles wrapper into the shape of a blunt over and over....
so I need things to do to keep my mind off of it. I just got off a 3-5 month binge of being high everyday. So it might just be a challenge for me. Do any of you have any ideas on what I can do to help myself quit? I am up for anything. I smoke cigarettes occasionally but I dont like the health risk as much so I am trying to avoid such.


---Sorry for the topic being about weed. I just figured I should be straight forward about it rather than be around the bush.

Well of course you probably already know the basics - get new friends, get some hobbies, etc. If you really feel that you're gonna struggle with it a lot, hit up a support group; Reformers Unanimous is a good one IMO.

I'm guessing from your profile info that you skate, which is good... but try focusing on hitting the rails more than hitting the bong. For me, extreme sports (aggressive inline, snowboarding, mountain biking, and the occasional skateboarding session with someone else's board 'cos mine is cracked) is a huge stress-reliever and mind-clearer.

Just try to avoid the stuff that makes you want to smoke.

Accept the fact that quitting isn't going to be easy and that you're going to have to work hard to free yourself.

If I've been at all helpful, let me know.

I'm glad you're giving up the weed. It's really not a good thing to get involved in. I've just seen so many lives ruined when it started with a little hit of something. Granted it doesn't always ruin lives but it sometimes does and it never does any reasonable good.

Weird, my friend quit the reefer today too, seeing as though his parents found his stash and all his "equipment."

Good thing is weed isn't physically addictive like crack or cigarettes. So just stay positive and don't hang out with people that try to pressure you to smoke.

It's never been about people pressuring me into it. It's always been me wanting to try it. That's how its been since I started. Most of my friends are against my decision to even start. There glad im quitting. Weed is much less harmful then ciggarettes, but I feel like I need to smoke ciggs if im gonna quit weed atleast to help me get by. I've tried doing Camel Snus. It helps keep me at bay on wanting to. I think Ill be able to quit itll just take some time. Yesterday I was able to go the whole day without smoking anything and I was offered to and I said no. So well have to see. Thanks to everyone for there help, all of you helped me. thanks again.

I think just not smoking anything is good. Like most people I sampled some pot in my teens and early 20s and I smoked cigarettes, Marlboro reds in a flip-top box, until age 31.

I am glad I don't do either anymore.

I hope this process proves well for Mist.
I still say you're doing the right thing.

I might be the only 1 of my friends and acquaintances that can say this but I have never tried pot.
Even my dad says he has but I never have.
Im the only 1 of my family that never smoked cigarettes either but I did try that a few times.
my brother smokes, (you can tell him to quit on lewasite if you want) and my parents smoke blastgirl quit smoking years ago and my other sister only smokes occasionally but I dont.

Good for mist for giving up the reef though. ;D
