Go get yourself some kava kava, it'll help take the edge off. I wish you the best of luck.

there was a party at my house yesterday and people took pain pills before drinking. sooo 8th grade

You could always take up golf, as well. Of course, you'd only be replacing one addiction for another.

kcfanXIII · 02-12-2006, 04:11 PM

mj is my only illegal vice. i don't take pills. hardly even take advil or asprin or any of that stuff.

Thanks for eveyones words and all the help. I am glad that my real friends are quiting as well. But right now I kind of have to keep some space from my friends because with my emotional level and others levels who are also quiting I am afraid that it would just make for more anger and emotions that are just not good for anyone. I am sure that they understand that even though I haven't said that directly to them.

That is another thing about where I am It is like all of the sudden I have forgotten how to communicate with anyone including myself. It is like I have a huge block from one side of my brain to the other.

I quit smoking weed completely about 2 months ago and never felt any symptoms. I used to smoke a lot (by my standards at least) and just decided to stop. I don't feel any better or any worse, just saving a lot of money. Like Ali said, it's a good icing, but don't make it the cake.

I smoked pot (and did alot of other things) for most of my teen and adult life.

I quit by changing the group of people I hung around with.

I would strongly recommend against taking things (like Kava as Braincase recommended) because MJ is habit forming (as opposed to addictive) and you could actually develop a dependence on your "replacement" therapy.

The biggest thing for me was realizing I could have fun and and still make other people laugh without being stoned all the time. The other thing was learning how to write songs without it.

The only reason it is hard to quit mj is because it makes everything seem more entertaining. Movies, Sports, and the old ladies stories about her day at work.

A half ounce a week is a pretty big habbit. I maybe smoked an 1/8 an .oz a week at the most when I was into that stuff.

Anyway life goes on and I predict in a couple more weeks you'll be totally weened off the stuff.
The only bad thing is when you get back to reality full time, you'll propably find your long term memory is in shambles. I remeber bits and pieces of a lot of things, but hardly the whole story on other stuff. Sucks!!

Anyways congrats for trying to kick the habit. I am sure you can do it.

ps. the first thing you will notice is when you are around someone who just got high, they reak like MJ strong, bad smell. All those times you thought nobody knew you had just snuck away for a joint and were able to hide it, guess again.

Hah! Yeah that's the absolute truth. People can smell you man, it's strong. Same with cigarettes.
