I have decided to stop smoking pot as of today and the goal is not to smoke again until saturday when I go to the fair and ride all the rides high. This is a huge step if I can do it bc I smoke several times a day. I want to be someone that can smoke occasionally and then put it back away for the next occasion. That's what I'm working toward. One week at a time...

Well I'm not doing very well. Although I have managed to cut back on the times of day I smoke I am still smoking daily. I just can't seem to overcome the desire. The good news is that I am almost out and I'm not going to re-up the stash. That should help....

Quitting is very hard. You just have to make up your mind it is going to happen.

Good luck.

Good observation there, doctora!

If you were to quit now, who would you be quitting for?

Sometimes when I think about how much I smoke I try to think of how embarrassed or even devastated I would be if certain people found out. If my parents ever found out I would be devastated bc I know they would be devastated. I try to use this as motivation to quit, and it makes me feel like I am too worried about what people think anyway since a major issue for me is self-consciousness. So, I would like to say that I want to quit for myself and my health most importantly. But when you throw the fact that weed helps my anxiety and sleep issues, I have a hard time believing that I would be quitting entirely for myself. Quitting could actually make things worse in a lot of ways. The thing that will cause me to quit without a doubt is pregnancy. I know that I will put it down and not pick it back up once that happens. My husband wants to wait until we are old and decrepit to have kids so I may not get to try out that theory for quite awhile.

It has been a week since I have smoked, but only bc we are out. And I am embarrassed to admit that we have been so desperate for it that we scraped resin from all our pieces and smoked it. (Super horrible for the lungs I know) Anyway, that shows how much of a mental addiction it is for me. But the good news is that going a week without will make it much easier to cut back. Cutting back gradually is my new goal. I think that is much more attainable for me.

I'm right here with you doctora! We can wean ourselves from this habit together. But I hear what you are saying about it helping with anxiety and sleep. I slept better last night than I've slept in 2 weeks. It was soooo nice. We'll have to find other ways to cope, which I'm already looking for.

Let me know if you want to talk...
