Am I Addicted

I am a 47 year old mother of 2 teenagers. I have smoked since I was 16. I enjoy smoking. I do not drink. What would happen if I quit and my family would have to know me without being high. I would like to stop but I really enjoy it. What do I do??
Wait for Wonderwoman to arrive, she'll be along shortly I'm sure. (For real, that's her posting name.) I used to smoke plenty, but pretty much gave it up when I found I couldn't handle my little ones (who are now 20 and 17) - I felt like I wasn't who I was meant to be for them. Do you smoke every day, several times a day? If so, then yes, you are probably addicted, especially if you fear being without it and no longer know who you are. Maybe going somewhere to get away on your own for the first few days so you can start to reacquainted with yourself first. Are you really enjoying it? What about it do you like? Does it motivate you? Make you mellow? Make you more fun? Help you to socialize? Relax? All I get is tired now, it saps my energy and makes me sluggish. I feel like lead when I smoke dope, so I don't anymore. Try abstinence and see what happens...you might enjoy it more than a chemical high, however 'natural'.
Your family loves you. You're lovable and you're capable of doing whatever your heart truly desires.

Love and Light,

Hi. I feel the same as you. I LOVE SMOKING POT! I know i have a prob with it because I spend all my $$$ on it and my whole life revolves around it. I've been smoking since '68 and in spite of being a disgusting low-life drug addict I'm a successful business man living comfortable in my own house in Florida. I quit for 2 yrs once for some reason and never felt any different, just grouchier.My problem is I can't regulate it. It's either try this place to help me quit or join N.O.R.M.A.L and just keep smokin my brains out!
