My boyfriend is tryin to kick the habit. its NOT working. We havent even made it 24hrs and hes being an @$$ and a half. and i know your going to say well obviously he doesnt want to quit but he does we keep trying to set a day to quit but we end up doing the same thing over and over again. he has very low i mean very low self control. he use to be addicted to meth,pills alchahol.. and so on and now he has cut down to pot for the last year. He has a very addictive personality and comes from a family of addicts and abuse.Back to the point....Me being and ex pothead who kicked the habit with ease when i found out i was pregnant i dont know exactly how he feels or how i can step in and tell him not to spend his own hard earned money on the one thing he asks for well that and nutty bars.. we are going to have a little girl anyday now and it doesnt seem to Help him get over it.he cant wait to be a father but he mentally cant help this... He gets very mean and very violent.. NOT TO ME but more towards himself when it comes to the violent part. he hits walls, hes cut himself on the chest a couple times and so on..But what im trying to say is how in the hell do you help a real addict.who came from a very twisted family and Pot has been his way out or his "anti depressant" for so long? He doesnt do well on anti depressants either weve tried that route too..If you can think of any method i can take or a word of advice to pass on to him to help us get through this i would appreciate it !
Faygo has he thought about getting help for this problem, maybe NA, detox/rehab, spoeaking with a DR. If he is trying one way (willpower) and it isn't working then think of a different approach. If he really wants to quit then he will take responsibility for his recovery and do something.
I hope you place yourself and your daughter first. There are support organisations for you such as Al Anon and Nar Anon and you may find help and support there, as I have. Good luck

Hi, I am going through the same thing with my boyfriend now and I know how much it sucks. He kicked his heroin addiction and he can't seem to quit pot. Just because your bf is acting like a jerk does not mean that he doesn't want to quit. He may really want to quit and that is why he is having such a hard time. That being said please make sure you are safe if he is getting violent. But anyway I have heard lots of people say pot, although one of the "weaker" drugs is one of the hardest to quit. Maybe he should try detox or something. If you think he is depressed and anti-depressants didn't help before maybe he was not on the right one. Is he seeing a counselor or anything? I agree with the previous post, if willpower alone isn't working try something else. Good luck with your boyfriend and your baby.
