Breaking The Habit

Marijuana
1
I am not a dependent smoker, but my boyfriend was. For most of his life he smoked weed everyday to the point where he'd kick me out of his house to go smoke some more because his brain needed it. It was the most annoying and heartbreaking thing in the world to me. People shouldnt smoke weed. It may be fun and great and wonderful being stoned, I'd know, but seriously, when it starts ruining lives is when you need to stop. He eventually decreased his intake and barely smokes anymore. He told me he doesn't at all but hey, I know he does. He's on the road to stopping completely. I hope you all can overcome your addiction...please. For the sake of others.

Ok, Now I'm REALLY nauseous! I am fighting this addiction for me. I am the best reason cause I am worth it. The trickle down effect is clear but the first step in staying clean is doing it for YOURSELF!

Right on aea you go girl!

For others-that is a sure road to failure, parents die, children grow up and leave, partners "grow apart" do it for yourself, if you are not worth it then the other people don't need you in their lives in the first place. Do the world a favor and go be stoned alone, or do yourself a favor and get clean.

I don't mean to be harsh, just trying to be honest.

In my 28 years of living I have come to understand that it is impossible to know how other people feel, especially when an addiction is involved. Quitting for loved ones has driven me to smoke more at times because of the pressure. I know that I can only quit for me, regardless of my loved ones. I grew up in an alcoholic home and tried many times to force soberiety and got nowhere fast. Friends and family can help but need to be careful to not put unrealistic expectations on the user. It's called a disease for a reason, and that's why I can't quit just because a loved one worries. I've spent countless hrs worring and that didn't make a difference.

My mom worries about me....it just adds to my guilt. I've got enough guilt, i emailed her and told her to just take care herself and I'll take care of myself. If she worries and frets, it's insulting to me. She didn't address that part of my email, because she avoids addressing my feelings. It seems like since I disclosed to my family, I'm starting to wish I didn't.

jamv-

Why would I want to promote sacred time to a co-dependent enabler who is trying to promote sobriety via a guilt trip?

Sacred time is for those folks who are determined to quit and want an alternative to going "cold turkey" or doing the 12 step program, nothing more nothing less.

Sorry you got so depressed, and hey the %'s are like quotation marks, enclosing the sarcasm, insulating it form the main message, lol.

But it's gonna be tough for anyone to get clean for the sake of someone else, and even tougher to stay that way, of course it that is what motivates you...

Whatever works is good.
