i used to smoke marijuana. recently i have been attracted to that lifestyle again. i miss my old friends, but if i joined in with them again id go back to being a pothead. it looks so glamorous.. how do i keep myself from a relapse?
religion got me to stop smoking so maybe i should rely on that... God saved my life...

Those "old friends" are only friends when you're smoking. They aren't friends when you're sober. They don't want anything to do with you when you're sober, do they? They don't come around when you're not smoking, do they? They wouldn't help you out with anything if you were sober, would they? Heck NO. They'd be too "out of it" to help. They aren't "friends." They don't know the meaniing of "friendship."
 God saved your life before and He'll do it again. He's been walking WITH you all thru this. He never left you. He's been right there with you the whole time! Just ask Him and He'll come to you -- you know that! If you haven't felt Him there, YOU were the one who walked away, not HIM. Ask Him to get you thru this craving again. Smoking pot is NOT glamorous. It is INSANITY. That isn't glamorous. Take care and God bless. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Hugs, Lee

our previous addiction is always waiting to suck us in to that hell again.
constant vigilence is the key. i'm glad you saw the warning sign so now double up on how grateful you are for sobriety. addiction can fool us by twisting the truth. it is not what it appears to be. you can do a gratitude list of all the benefits of your sobriety. carry it with you, read it when addiction knocks. glad you posted. stay clean. you have much to look forward to if you do.

I hope to give some hope, with my expierence. I have been sober a year last may 8, I feel so much better. I used to hang out with smokers and drinkers and it got more and more misrable. I finally got tired of it and was worried about my health also. I have been in twelve step groups and use it to help me. One thing that helps me is to remember my date I stopped. I couldnt stop crying. I know I wouldnt have a job if I kept it up. or my life possibly. You can do it. You will feel so much better hanging with people who dont drink or smoke weed. This will take time. Think of your future and hang in there.

a friend in recovery has remarked before that he watches reruns of a particular football final from time to time. his team very narrowly lost this final. secretly inside his head, he hopes that somehow it will end differently each time he watches. but of course it never does LOL
