Lee,
I hope this isn't too late - don't buy the weed. Fight the urge by thinking - "I need to fight this craving and get through the next hour, or next 10 minutes, or next minute." If you have a cigarette, then so be it. Lots of people smoke cigs, and if tobacco will help get you through your recovery with alcohol and weed, then it can't be that bad. But if cigs are a trigger for other stuff, then I know you CAN fight it.
Lee, I know you have the strength to fight the cravings for one minute. Then, when that minute is over, I know you have the strength to fight the craving for the next minute. When the huge cravings and desires are there, that is the only way I get through. I ask myself "Am I strong enough to fight this craving for just this one minute", and I say "Of course I am, who can't get through one minute." Previously, when a craving would hit, I'd think "There's no way I can fight this craving for the rest of my life - it's too hard, stuff it all, I'm having a smoke because I can't fight this craving for the rest of my life" That was my mistake. My motto: Just for today, just for tonight, just for the next hour, just for the next five minutes, just for the next minute, I need to find the strength to fight the craving. Good luck Lee

Hi Lee
I have had my time on the weed I don't smoke it anymore but my partner does. When I first stopped I didn't feel any different for the first 4-5 weeks. I just thought this is a waste as I wasn't really affecting myself anyway, except health wise of course. I have an habit with amphetamine that I am trying to sort out at the moment so I am not lecturing you at all. I haven't smoked weed for 7 months now and the change in the way I felt after 4-5 weeks was really good. Apart from the extra energy (probably the amphet) I could think more and have a better feeling about things and a better interest in conversations and situations etc than when I was stoned. It wasn't easy but once the benefits started coming in it was very easy. I conquered that habit in January 2005, it was my new years resolution and to stop the amphetamine. That didn't happen as I said earlier. I want it to and I am going to do my best because the benefits of stopping smoking weed were brilliant so I know by stopping this drug the benefits will increase loads.
I hope you stick to it and get past the craving just like I want to myself. Try and be strong, you will feel loads better if you wake up tomorrow knowing you got through the temptation. I don't know loads about the best thing to do etc, but I do like mumbling lots, so instead of lighting up just send a sentence to me and I will take your mind of the craving by typing loads of rubbish to you, I just type and type as quick as my mind ticks, and that's lots. Sorry you had to get some of the ticking. Take care
Love andrea

Hi Lee:
I never had a problem with drinking, but I had to quit that too, because I'm always afraid it will lead me to smoke...and once I smoke, I'm stoned 24/7.
I'm not a cigarette smoker either but man, have I been smokiing a lot of tobacco myself!
Stay strong!! You'll get through it. You did the right thing by coming to the board and writing.
