I feel like this has happened at the worst possible time with my disability review court date approaching and discovering that I have gallstones that while not immediately a problem will eventually need to be removed.
I've been smoking marijuana for 4 years now, the last 8 months daily. A couple of days ago for financial reasons i went cold turkey so to speak even though marijuana was the only substance that helped me get through a lot of bad things.
If you have become so psyhcologically dependent on it i would suggest you take a little time off to cool down. I've ben around pot since early childhood and i have seen friends shaking because they didn't smoke a spliff even though they had 3-4-5 the night before. Heck even in the morning. For me personally it was never about weed itself it was more about the people and the situations that would evolve after and even during smoking.

I know it is impossible to substitute the feeling with anything else however you need to convince yourself that you can live to fight another day even without the green ballistic missile mate.

I'm not sure how to deal with this. My mind wants me to find a new contact but logic tells me I need to lay off. I feel so lost. I'm really struggling with wrapping my mind around everything that's going on. I need ideas on how to get my mind OFF the idea that I "need" weed because the "need" only adds on to my stress which at this point is absolutely massive. Anyone got some ideas? :/
My recipe is simple: coffee, chain smoking and seeing someone at least once a day helps..a lot, company always helps.
I also do a fair bit of reading or wathcing movies, tv-series even gaming.
Find something that you like to do that will occupy your mind and prevent from thinking about rolling a joint.

If all else fails go out and run or work out until you are too tired to think about it and sleep takes care of the rest.

Keep us posted how you are doing mate and hang in there !
