Its not addictive, you just like smoking it, so the only thing with quiting is giving up something you love.

You gotta have the will power first of all. I suggest you listen to some of Tony Robbins. It should be available in your local library. It will really help.

Turn to the Lord Jesus friend He is your freedom and way out, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Keep smoking marijuana because I cannot prove that it does not hurt your brain. In fact maybe it will help you to relax. Maybe this answer is more pleasing.

Will power will do it everytime

marijuana isn't addicting like cigarettes are.. it just takes your own will power and quit cold turkey. ask yourself if its actually worth losing your life and family.

I can understand how hopeless an addiction feels. I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. Nothing is worth losing your family over. Dying is one thing, we all will one day, but I could not take losing my wife and kids. That alone would kill me. That is why I am sober today. Six months running so far. That might not sound like much to some but I have the feeling you can identify with me that six months seems like an eternity without your addictions. Listen, if I can stop washing pain killers down my throught with wiskey you can stop smoking weed, o.k.

United Way: 211 from any phone in the U.S.

I dont know how to tell you this but you just have to stop!!! It will be the easiest thing you can do for your self if you think about what it is doing to you.... I have been there too!!! It takes a while but JUST DO IT!!!

other than support groups maybe there is no way to do it except just stop doing it. Maybe it would help if you broke/sold/burnt the rest of the equipment used in your addiction.

i cant help but i'd go to an NA meeting. Look one up online and there will be about 40 people willing to help you out. my boyfriend has been going for 11 years.

It takes a week man. A solitary week for any sort of 'I want a joint/bong' feeling to go away. For that week, it's only willpower. There's no THC patch or anything so you're by yourself. Don't see the problem anyway. Well, I suppose, if weed effects you to the point where you can't function around friends and family then it's not for you, I suppose. One week.

When I quit, I had to change a lot of things. My friends thought it was weird that I didn't want to smoke anymore. I quit hanging out with them, and eventually, that was okay. If your weed habit's out of control, or it's taking over your life - You have to stop. The benefits of quitting are amazing. When I was high all the time, I didn't notice how dumb it made me. I thought I needed it to sleep, to wake me up, to calm me down, etc. As soon as I quit, people were saying to me all the time, "Mike, you're so full of energy!" and things like that. I could remember where I put things, phone numbers, appointments, all kinds of things I was used to forgetting. It is hard to quit though, man. I'm not gonna lie. But here's the conclusion I came to after smoking all those years - There's no real point to it! I feel like I did it all. I smoked the bombest chronic there is, I smoked with a lot of good people, I grew it, sold it, cooked it, hashed it, you name it! I just realized that it's always gonna be the same! I wasn't smoking to benefit from it, it was just to get by! It was smoking ME! I quit doing things I used to do when I was high, so I wouldn't crave it as much. I saw how stupid most of the pot culture really it. I stepped back and took a look at myself. Try it, man. Just realize that smokin weed isn't taking you anywhere, and realize that you do want to go somewhere with your life.

It's physically impossible to be addicted to THC. Stop associating with the people who led you to smoke in the first place, get friends who don't smoke and you should be fine

i've smoked it every day for 16 years and i'm not addicted i just enjoy it, although i have found it to be more false habit than anything.

Since you was 18? How old am you now?

if you dont have it you cant smoke it. if you dont buy it you wont have it. if you dont talk about it you wont buy it. if you toss out all your paraphenalia, you wont think about it. it takes three days of committment to begin. after three days, just be careful what you say. its all about what you say, your intentions. start walking: twenty minutes out twenty minutes back. morning and evening. you cant smoke cigarettes or use any alternative smoking materials. you will quit easily. .

rehab.

It looks as if you're ready to take advantage of rehab. Rehab offers all the tools to help you quit, if you are ready. So many people fail though, because they aren't truly ready for the help, and don't want to change. Good luck, sincerely. I'd seek out some help in your city...... maybe ask your family to help you and let them know how serious you are. Maybe they'll help pay for a rehab place for you?

you need to go to counseling and rehab tell your family whats wrong with you then ask them for help trust me you don't wanna lose you family and friends cause in the ends thats who you are gonna need tell them now and get help thats the best thing to do trust me and tell them what makes you wanna smoke it and what causes you to keep wanning to do it

Find something else to occupy the time you've been wasting smoking. It will be sooo hard at first. Maybe hard o eat or sleep. But it will pass. And once you start enjoying all the things you've been missing out on you wont miss smoking it anymore. it will work, its just not easy..!

I used to smoke a LOT. I started having panic attacks and one day just quit. Never smoked again. Don't miss it at all. I didn't feel any physical effects from quitting other than feeling a lot more clear-headed. I was smoking probably 2 grams a day at least, for about 5 years. You'll notice how much sharper your mind gets, so just jump into doing something you can have fun concentrating on. Good luck! I, for one, think rehab is a ridiculous proposition for quitting pot. Maybe talk to a councellor just for some great ideas on how to ease into a new life, but it's not like smoking crack! Some people lump all drugs together.

tell your supplier you will call the POLICE on them. tell yourself you can do it. tell your friends your better than that. tell your family to bare wuth you. tell your bank account, to give you a minute and you wont be broke much longer. tell your lungs your sorry.

Does anyone think this would work? Hm, maybe? Emotional Freedom Technique (or EFT) So what is EFT? EFT is in simple terms, a method to break habits. By applying pressure on certain areas of your body whilst thinking about your craving you can reverse this craving for whatever it is you do not want. The technique is also used to send positive affirmations to your subconscious mind. The technique looks very strange but it is very simple to do and very effective. I would recommend everyone try this technique as it is so simple to achieve results. What you will be doing is tapping with our fingertips on certain key points of the body. Just before tapping and during tapping you should concentrate on your craving. For example, if you wanted to smoke a joint, you would think about smoking a joint and imagine yourself already smoking a joint. The whole process should not take you more than 3 minutes to complete.

Most marijuana smokers are oblivious and ignorant to the damage this drug can do.. possibly due to the fact is messing with their brains big time. Thank God youre seeking some help. My ex husband smoked it through our marriage and i didnt know and hes still using this to this day..hes messed up in the head so bad most of his family have given up on him and he will be grow to be a very lonely old man by the looks of how things are going. Seek help with a doc or a specialist and all the best to ya too Angie

try keeping really, really busy. i just developed an idiotic obsession with building card towers.....

I'm so with you man. I've been where you're at. This thing is a psychological addiction. There's the habit of it where you're just driven to keep doing it regardless of anything else. Then there's the fact that the stuff inside the weed reduces your willpower and self-esteem, which is the stuff you need to overcome. I believe that the way we work is that we don't just stop something, we desire that something else takes its' place. Pick out what this is, believe in yourself, and pursue this thing. From a pot smoker for many, many years who has overcome. 1st John 4:4 states that 'Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world.' Lean into this and discover how true it is!

i am currently in rehab and it is the best thing ever.i mean when in first started going i was pissed and hated it but once i started to get off drugs i felt more confortable and whether you know it or not its not your family frinds ect. whos becoming distany from you your the oone who is becoming distant from them and once you have been sober for a little while you will realize what has been happening!so please get help you will thank me later

just say no - put the money you would spend on pot in the bank and at the end of one year let me know what kind of new car you bought

I found out I was a diabetic....I was put on two insulin shots a day immediately.... The reality that I have to change to stay alive has been one heck of a ride.... The reality sometimes has been overwhelming... I have stopped smoking before and it was like exercising a demon ..... Nothing is impossible.....well....if YOU make up your mind that you might consider changing...then make up your mind to probably change....then make up your mind to change... THEN CHANGE ..... and hang on until the scarey part of the ride is over

ppl who say weed isnt addictive are full of s....i am sober now- but was an opiate addict for 10 yrs. my husband though was addicted to marijuana. our life began to revolve around it- he smoked 24/7 ..we had to worry about going into the hood and risk getting arrested to buy it-worry about money to always have more, etc....if something in your life thaty u are doing(ie smoking weed) is making yr life in any way unmanageable, than u indeed are addicted. what did my hubby do? he made up his mind to quit and he threw all para. out and did it..i supported him 100 % and i think that made all the diff in the world. do u have support?? if not, ck out local na and aa mtgs- theyre everywhere.....good luck xoxox

just stop and then the real fight is to never say yes to the first joint! it is a lifelong saying no so its easy when u start doing better things

To everyone that tells you just to stop doing it, good luck. It is a personal choice.... problem is, it is also an addiction (no really, I don't care what people say). There are worse things than "weed" but you need to know yourself and your limits. If it wasn't causing problems in your life it is one thing but since it is, get counseling (I know it's queer but it does help) or talk to other people with similar problems. I had a big problems with drugs in my teens because of other problems in my life. Once you realize you have a problem you are way on your way to fix your problem. You have made your first step now be strong and good luck!

....You just enjoy smoking weed. There is no physcal addiction like that of crack or heroin. Quitting is difficult especially if your friends all smoke. Best to distance yourself from them for a bit. Try working out. Ride a bike, or jogging. These things keep your mind occupied as well as clear your head. It's all about finding new and healthy ways to stimulate your brain. If you find difficulty in curbing your habit, perhaps you might find it helpful to see a professional and get help with your problem. For me quitting was easy, although i was a habitual user. I found other avenues to redirect my habits. It's been over 20 years since I last sparked up. A smoke-free outlook isnt a bad thing. You become less paranoid, you actually lose weight cause you dont get the munchies, and you can finally remember where you left the car keys. (that one used to plague me like you wouldnt believe...where the hell are the car keys....I just put them down two minutes ago.....brutal.... The constant need to escape reality is a bit troubling. After awhile your stroned reality becomes your actual reality. it's such a narrow view of what reality should be and actually is. Good luck with that.

God, grant me the serinity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference! That always helped me!!! I was in treatment for 2 years! The first thing I kno u have to do is stay away from everyone u kno that uses! THey may be ur friends but u cant be around that or u will never stop! A true friend will respect that decision too! Its tuff I aint gonna lie to u!!! But I know u can do it!!! You just have to fully be ready to turn ur life over to God or your higher power and live one day at a time! Another thing that works is the program NA Narcotics Annonymous will work to u just have to keep going they say 90 meetings in 90 days. But I hope that I helped a little!!!! I dont even know u but I have faith in u!!!! It can be done!!

In the yr that I was smoking I developed a habit much more severe to those who were smoking for 5-10 years. But after quitting my 10 gram a day habit I can tell you The difficulty I found was; Moods! One minute I was angry the next I was so depressed..I found there were a few times when i just had to hit the pavement, and really sweat!. And another thing, if the weed has brought on a certain amount of depression you may want to seek anti depressants from your GP, they can help manage your moods and give you back the motivation you need to stay focused. Also, You must stay active!!!!! It's imperative ! Go and buy a dog, call him "Weedy" or something and make sure weedy gets a walk everyday..you putting your engergy into something new, as well as the benefit of exercise, will keep you distracted. You need to fill the void the weed fills up, somehow! Make it positive! I started a journal. It really worked for me. On the front page was a big calander where everyday i was clean i crossed off the day. and my last smoke was in bright red staring at me everytime i crossed off a day. The journal had a list of distractions. Things i could do when i was feeling edgy and if i was alone- *wash the car *see your grandparents *go for a scenic drive *listen to music in the car and really scream *retail therapy *clean the house *get a haircut/ change your look etc. must be a list of things YOU like doing! You also need to reward yourself..without weed you may feel a little deflated, and feel like you don't have that much to look forward to. So plan a trip! plan a holiday and look forward to it everyday your clean, because now your life wont be revolved around having a smoke! also, you will need a support network, put these people and their numbers in your journal. so if you have a craving you can call someone just to chat and take your mind off it. You need to remind yourself that you are cared about, and loved very much by those close to you. Your habit is not only is killing you, but it's hurting them. Quitting will mean you will get your motivation to succeed back, which mean you'll be back to life. Nothing will make your family happier then to be proud of you. Not only that but you also need to think about the future benefits..A LIFE!! Remind yourself everyday of what you would say to your son (when/if you have one)in 10 years time when you see weed in his school bag. Goodluck!

try brian sync search on google

i had the same problem yes im young but hey it starts somewhere just do it one last time then no more and try to stay strong do other things like basketball or run or something you like i hoped this helps good luck

If you truely wanted to stop. You'd stop. It's as simple as that and you know it. When you light up you know your doing it so just set it down. First, why did you start? For bad reasons most likely, no offense. Why are you quiting? for yourself? for family? Everytime you light up it must be just one more puff important that what your quitting for. Just think about the reasons everytime your about to light up. I've gone through quiting worse addictions and you can do it.

that's a tough habit to quit! I don't care what anyone says, marijuana IS addictive. If you can get through the first month sober it gets easier. Some of the side effects of quitting include irritability, weight loss, sleeplessness and other uncomfortable physiological symptoms.. but if you REALLY wanna be clean you can totally do it. OH and switching the company you keep totally helps. I had to change my phone number, change states, drop old friends and start fresh for my sobriety- it was a wonderful adventure that brought many great new opportunities without drug & alcohol use. and life keeps getting better!!

Get a job. Just smoke when you can afford it.

Well tell your children to NEVER SMOKE. Try rewording yourself for not smoking it. That seems to help. Good Luck

I used to smoke alot, anyhow you need do you smoke normal cig's as well as marjuana? You may find that you are more addicted to the nicotine you are inhaling more so than the marjuana. The first few days are hard but you can do it, however you may need to spend some time away from friends who smoke until you have overcome your addiction. I haven't smoked a jago for years now and I am happy not to be in a constant state of mong anymore!

Dude, I smoked for 11 years non-stop. All day, everday, multiple times a day and I quit. It can be done, you have to really want it. That stuff isn't worth losing everything to chase a high. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict. Despite what people say Marijuana is an addictive mind altering substance. If you can't stop, you're probably and addict. Look into NA or AA, they are both 12 step programs that work if you want them to! I've been sober for a while and have a family of my own again. I almost lost it all due to my usage, take it from me, its not worth it bro. You can do it, if a hopeless, helpless, drunk/addict like myself could do it, so can you.

WELL,SMOKING IS NOT THAT BAD, BUT IF YOU ARE LOSING LOVED ONES THEN YOU DO NEED TO STOP. THE BEST THING TO DO IS EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF WEED THINK OF HOW IT'S HURTING YOUR FAMILY.

if you are serious check this out:

I used to smoke it too and i found NA, google it! It will help you. I haven't smoked it for over 2 years now. I nearly lost everything but now i have my family back and i make the most of myself and i have lost weight as i don't get the munchies anymore. Good Luck x

You've received some good answers, barrie. But, I will disagree about marijuana not being addictive. You are addicted to a mind and mood altering substance that you use on a regular basis,that you can't leave alone and need to get through your day. Sure sounds like you can't live without it. You need to get into a drug rehab program. Don't try to quit without the help of a recovery program. See what your town, city or community has to offer. You may want to start with calling 800-749-7200 to speak with a trained phone triage drug abuse counselor who will steer you in the right direction. Through a recovery program you will "peel back the onion" to learn why you "use." You'll learn the many tools you didn't know you had at your disposal so you can cope in drug-free life. Do this for yourself and for your family and the ones you love and who love you. My boyfriend is coming home this weekend after going through a year-long recovery program. He has been "clean" for 13 months, free of crack cocaine, marijuana, heroin and alcohol. In the past few months he has experienced alot of loss after being laid off and losing his new car along with other material things. He is using his tools to cope with his losses. He has not "used" over it and has not even thought about going back to drugs to cope. Many, many addicts have died because they did not continue to live a life of recovery. Don't let this happen to you and get in a recovery program now. I have been in recovery for over 3 years, and as an addict will always be in recovery because I know that it only takes a second to relapse if I don't stop and think before I act. Call now, and I'm praying for you that you will reap the many rewards of a drug-free life.

I think you realised you cannot do it alone, sometimes these conflicts are to help us to search for God, I work in a rehabilitation centre for 16 years now and have seen thousands of people with life changing experiences thanks to God.

It sounds like you are certainly on the right path for recovery because you have recognized that this can't go on another day. I know a lady who smoked Marijuanna for 23 years and one day just decided to stop. It probably won't be this easy for you, but you can make steps to quitting right now. You must make a firm commitment to yourself that you are going to stop. Throw away everything (the marijuana, the lighters, the pipes, the bongs, the whatever) and make sure you will never see them again. That's half the battle. Once you get rid of everything, remember your commitment to yourself and realize that life is a beautiful thing when you are sober. Take time to listen to the birds outside, and make a list of everything you are appreciative for in your life, even if that may be small. You can do anything that you want, including stopping this habit. All you have to do is set your mind to it, and set your mind to repairing what you have lost from this. Good luck to you!

just stop smokeing.

You have taken the first step - not the hardest step but at least a step in the right direction - you know you need to stop! Don't look at it as stopping forever, rather as stopping for a period of time (3 months, 6 months, a year). Let your head clear out, then determine if you really want to smoke again. You will be amazed at how clear life is without the "fog". After years of smoking daily when I was younger, I stopped for about 13 years. I started again about 4 years ago and smoked daily for 4 years. I have stopped again and as of today, it has been 3 months. Some days it is very hard (especially the first couple of weeks) - but as time passes it gets easier. Even if you aren't religious, if does help to pray for help. At first I prayed every day for help to quit - after a few days, my prayers turned into prayers of gratefulness for one more day smoke free.

The three word answer: COLD TURKEY ISLAND!

Call STEVE WILKOS or MAURY show and get help from them. They are helping lots of people. Take care and god bless you and your family.

In the Name of Jesus, I bind up that spirit of Addiction and command it to leave this person, never to return to him , his home, his car, his land, his friend again. I declare and release cleanliness and soberity, I declare no tempation will over take this person, and they will alway find a way of escape. I release a Great desire to hunger,thirst and crave a full and personal relationship with Jesus Christ and declare No Weapon Formed against them shall prosper, I speak confusion into the enemies plans and release new friendships with greater purpose and i come against any attachments that will keep this person bound, a new mind, will and desire will over take their life now and forever more in Jesus Name Amen.

That's nice and considerate that you asked for help. First you need to be really focused and determined to stop for good. I understand that you are losing your family and your life which happens everyday. YOu need to ask God for forgiveness, your family, and friends. You need to ask God to help you. You need to find a center that helps people get over smoking. Pray to God to lead you in your path of darkness to the light. Beg him again shall i say for Forgiveness.

hey thts not addictive...its jus tht u wanna do it..smoke so much one day tht u wil get bored of it...will power might help u...try to build it...

I would go to YouTube and look at the information about the plant Ayachuasa or Iboga.

its easy ... just stop!... its all in your head so if YOU want to stop then YOU will, the effects of pot are out of your system in 6 hours or less... it is NOT addictive so its NOT the pot thats stopping you from giving up.. its YOU. The truth is your using pot as a crutch for something else thats wrong in your life ...so YOU need to get that sorted out first and giving up the pot will be easy

give it to me

YOU SHOULD STOP IT RIGHT AWAY....JUST BE WILLING TO DO IT!!...

its not that hard just do it

On reefer? Jeeze,.. stay away from the hard stuff yo...

There is a wonderful website came across some time back about the same issue. Hope it will also help you. http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/mentalhealth/addiction/overcoming_addiction_marijuana

Let your family know you would like support for rehab. Early admission of an addiction problem and family support makes for very successful outcome. You do not have to hit rock bottom so don't. You still have your life and family for now....having an addiction that you don't seek help for will likely change that. Good luck and their are many internet websites on the matter of help with addictions. Check them out to get an idea of what is involved with getting help.

Check yourself into an inpatient rehabilitation center, and take it seriously.

You just need to stop if your stoping. Are you smokin the bud or is the bud smokin you? thats were the problem usually is

Just stop. Its a choice. You can choose not to do it.

BUUUT ANYWAYS I ain't no monk right. AND I LOOOOOOVE to smoke , I mean I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVe it I LOOOOOOOOVe it But almost all around the world it's ILLEGAL and this can cause problems with FAMILY GOVERNMENT FRIENDS etc.. and this can be very troublesome for a young lad There are many LEGAL substitutes for MARIJUANA and there all HIGH TIMES APPROVED Check out www.internationaloddities.com Everything you see there is 100% legal , you even get a receipt. :) , when was the last time your dealer gave you that ? :P 1 ounce 45$ And Instead of SMOKING everything you can easily VAPORIZE them much healthier , the amount of things you can do to stop MARIJUANA it's self IS IMMENSE And look , many people around the world , smart people , do not see MARIJUANA as a crime , but rather putting deadly toxins IN or On marijuana is , like those spray cans to get u ' more high' nothing is worse I am a NATURALIST REASLIST FIRE IS NATURAL HERBS ARE NATURAL , MIXING HERBS AND FIRE GIVES SMOKE , ALSO natural , so fuck all them jack offs who sit in a chair above you , and still allow people to amputated the foreskin of babys and then DARE to tell those kids DON"T FUKIN SMOKE I SAY FUUUUCK YOU , theres nothing NATURAL about a KNIFE MIXING WITH A PENIS SO I SAY FUK THE POLICE>! Think about it , even with the parents consent it is ILLEGAL to force circumcise an adult , but if he's a baby . HES FUKED So don't be fool what the goverments and what your parents tell you , lies and deception are all over you. Be smart Be wise . Be happy , Be relaxed. Smoke the dro , the original Dro internationaloddities.com

Well done the hardest part is admitting you have an addiction and with will its possible to combat it. you cant stop just like that but you could try and cut down to begin with and then reduce it even further. theres no point in stopping completely cause no doubt you will have withdrawal symptoms and you will relapse. and if you can cut down even by one smoke its a step closer to success and remember there are many support lines and groups out there to help you just have to reach out to them and with will power you will take care and good luck. x

Effects on the Heart One study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana(8). The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Effects on the Lungs A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers(9). Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses. Even infrequent use can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways(10). Smoking marijuana increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck, and the more marijuana smoked the greater the increase(11). A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced strong evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers. Marijuana use also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens(12, 13). In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke(14). It also produces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells(15). Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs’ exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may increase the risk of cancer more than smoking tobacco. Other Health Effects Some of marijuana’s adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system’s ability to fight off infectious diseases and cancer. In laboratory experiments that exposed animal and human cells to THC or other marijuana ingredients, the normal disease-preventing reactions of many of the key types of immune cells were inhibited(16). In other studies, mice exposed to THC or related substances were more likely than unexposed mice to develop bacterial infections and tumors(17, 18). source: http://www.addiction-help-line.com/marijuana.html

lucky for you, it's not addicting. Just don't do it anymore if you don't want to.

Pot isn't addictive. If you think your addicted... your mentally addicted. There is nothing in the drug that will leave you fiending for more. You will have no withdrawls or anything. All you have to do is stop hanging around the places where you used to do it... and the people you used to do it with. Just stop... simple as that.

If you're at the point of losing your life and family you better pull your head out of the dark and stinky place it has been and start realizing what is more important to you! Get your priorities strait! You need to help you! I'm not saying this to be mean, but there are alot of resources out there if you want to stop.

well man i've been smoking that for a very long time now too. i do not belive that its really addictive. its really just a habbit. and the only was to stop i think is to break the habbit. try to put yourself around better people. like ones that dont use drugs. and try to get closer to the ones you love and care dearly about. so they can see that your trying to be a better person. so i hope this idea wprks well for you i wish you the best of luck with everything:)

First, Admit you need help. Second, Find help, talk to an addiction counselor in your area. Look in the phone book, call your crisis hotline they will tell you how someone can help you. Third, Get support from a group or your family. If family is not an option, accept that you cannot change the way they feel. Fourth, Say to yourself in a journal: 1. I am sorry....to yourself..... and then do that for the others, how you feel just write it out. 2. Please forgive me.....to yourself and others, write how you feel 3. Thank you.....to others and yourself and write how you feel 4. I love you....to yourself and to others WRITE HOW YOU FEEL. DO this every day. It's amazing how it works, I have done this. GOD BLESS

masturbate solves everything

then stop. simple as that. quit buying it, get rid of your smoking accessories & don't get more. weed is not addictive. if you wanted to quit, you would.

The only thing that will let you quit fopr real is the day you get out of bed and resent it. Its easy for others to say dont buy it, dont smoke it, But the truth is unless you 100% want to give up you will fail. If your not ready and are doing it for other reasons other that yourself it will be so hard. When your head is strong enough to say NO I DONT WANT IT it will be easy. But even the slightest hesitation or second thoughts about doing it or how you will feel will kill it. Trust me whe i say this. :) Its hard, but good luck. xx

In college I took a drug intervention class, among other drug related classes. Marijuana is not know to be addicting. Research has shown that one can't get addicted to it, although if it causes a person to feel better, I don't know why it couldn't be. Anyway, I don't know why you do it, but if it is for anxiety, you should go to a doctor and get on anxiety meds. The sad thing is, You CAN get addicted to pills. If you want to do something bad enough(stop smoking marijuana), you can and will do it. Do you want your family or pot? This is funny that you are 18 and smoke pot, because at this time my 18 yr old son is losing the respect of me as his mom and his siblings all because of drugs and bad decisions. Like I tell him, watch who you hang with, be positive and do the right thing before you have nothing. Good Luck honey!

It's to late. You're hooked on the refer for good.

Ive smoked marijuanna everyday for 10 years or more and I know I could quit cold turkey exercise always helps but for losing family ? Mybe because i smoked with most of my fam but....I mean its not crack.Quiting smoking was hard but I used marijuanna to conquer that after 12 years.Weed kinda helps me sleep, relax , Makes movies better helps me in poker games etc.hahaha Really you just have to wanna quit its all mind set and self control. It is good being sober your mind is a lot more clear for me anyways life seems a bit more real.More social save some money really think what you wanna do and grow up a bit(no offence)I still smoke but...

I'd say ask your doctor to recommend a treatment center and stick with it. It may be hard at first but you can really come out strong. Its always possible to make a change with help. I wish you the best of luck :)

Go to a doctor maybe. :)

the best way to change a bad habbit is to find another new good one . i think your brave enought 4 admitting u have a problem at the first place . stop smoking it 4 a while , it may get harder, becase while your doing this your body is getting red of it . then start by eating really organic healthy food , and excersicing . the human body have to ability to heal it self so when u do this your going to get better and better .

I came across some time back about how to stop smoking marijuana. This site will help you. Please do visit. http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/mentalhealth/addiction/overcoming_addiction_marijuana

I found myself in this same situation a few years back I smoked for 35 years. I just stopped, never bought or hung around anyone who did. My doctor advised to take vitamin b. Take confidence in your doctor and talk to him. They won't turn you in.

What a joke. I am going to help you bro. First, mary jane is very addictive. Smoking in general is mentally addicting and physically addicting. Anyone that says any different has not a clue about weed. You need to exercise. Exercise is the key to quitting smoking weed. It will suck at first. You will hate running and doing push ups, but suck it up. You have to drop your smoking friends and find a way to fill your time. The smartest thing I ever heard someone say about weed is that it make you ok with being bored. And its true. Life can be super boring, especially in our downtime. You need to be active. If you are at a point where weed makes everything better, even the things you used to do without weed, you need to take a good look at yourself. I promise if you exercise, you blood will get pumping and your strength will come back. Run Run Run. When you feel like smoking, get the f out of the house. Don't sit around. Your mind will own your body if you don't train both to do what you want. You have the power. I promise. Just give it a couple weeks and you will see that you are super strong. The first couple days are the hardest. You won't sleep. YOu won't want to eat. Life will suck. But it will get better. I promise. Good luck
