Hi Tabitha,
I think if you keep yourself busy and hang around with non-users, this may be helpful. Definitely try to avoid the people who use drugs as this only leads to temptation. Go places where it's almost impossible to smoke pot. I guess almost anyplace public would work. Just try not to spend too much time alone for awhile. When you're alone with nothing to do, too much time is spent just thinking about it. Try this for awhile at least. You may find, as I did, that it was kind of nice going through life with a clear head. Good Luck to you!!!

Its Day 2 of trying to stop useing drugs. my plan for today is to go up to see my friends. and talk to them about me trying to quit smoking weed... am i making a good move?
Tabitha, do your friends do drugs too? Do you have one friend that doesn't? Maybe that friend is the person to go talk to today. Be proud of yourself that you don't want to get sucked into that lifestyle. Go to the library in your town and read about the dangers and how to stop and read all the old advice on here..lots of people here can help you. You're a brave girl.
I do have friends that dont smoke drugs and im going to be seeing one of them today.. the hardest part of this hole thing is when i had to admitt it to my parents... because my dad went through the same thing! anywyas im happy i found this place. i think it will help me alot!!
The hardest thing was the best thing, Tabitha. If my daughter had told me sooner, I could have helped her sooner. Now she's gone from pot to booze to meth...and she's not herself anymore...skinny with sores all over her a huge infection in her leg that she was hospitalized for and could have died and her mind is sick. Stopping now is the best and strongest thing you will ever do. I'm so happy you can see that this is no life for you. Look, you're already on day 2 with no drugs...one day at a time.
How is ur daughter? is she doing alot better? i went up and saw sum of my freinds and man was it hard cuz sum of them r pot smokers but they r happy for me..
Hi Tabitha,
I know it's hard to say no when your friends are also users. But if you really want something badly enough, you can most definitely get it. Hang in there and just remember, you found this board which is a really great place to start. I would definitely spend much more time with the non-smoking friend. It may make your life a bit easier for the time being.
Lots of luck,
Lola

Today i had a break though i just no it! Today i was hanging out with my friend and my ex boyfriend came to me and asked if i wanted to get high i said no and then when he was lighting the bowl well was ready i walked away and told my friends where id b and that when they r done to come and get me!
Tabitha...good for you. Be strong. Sorry to say no my daughter is not okay...she is a meth addict at 22 years old and has lost her life, her looks, her mind, and everyone important to her. It's not worth it, Tabitha. My daughter's friends were the most important thing in the world to her...I knew they weren't the best bunch of kids all those years ago, but I figured, they'll grow out of it...for most of them, that never happened...most of them are now on harder drugs, no jobs, living with their parents, in jail or in rehab. I'm not kidding, Tabitha hanging out with people doing drugs tends to lead you down the wrong road. You sound so smart to me to even be questioning yourself....please start hanging around your non-drug using friends. You don't have to be almighty or never ever talk to them again...just choose to spend more time with the non-users because, guaranteed, in a few years here, you will see where they are in life if they don't quit now..and it's sad, pathetic, and heartbreaking. My daughter WAS beautiful, funny, smart...NOW SHE'S SO LOST IN ADDICTION, I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT AND MY HEART IS BROKEN....REALLY BROKEN. Be strong. You can do this, Tabitha.
Tabitha ~~ Great job on walking away! I know how hard it is to say no when it's put in front of you. You're a strong girl, keep up the good work!!
HeartAche ~~ I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I have a daughter who's 8 and I couldn't even imagine having to watch her destroy herself like that knowing that there's nothing that you can do to help. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. Hang in there.

Tabitha, whenever it gets hard think of my daughter..and all she's lost since she started smoking pot, which eventually led to meth. she once swore she'd never try drugs, then never, booze, then never speed...and one led into the next. You stay strong..it is hard but not as hard as becoming an addict. you take care
Tabitha...i am so glad that you have made this big decision so soon in your life...take it from the old timers who smoked weed for years...and it lead them down the path to harder drugs and addiction...
I am an iv cocaine addict...i started smoking pot when i was 12...i am 46 now...i didn't start doing the hard drugs until about 3 years ago and look where it got me...
catch it now...and stay away from the pot smoking crowd...i'm ashamed to say that i picked up my 21 y/o daughter and my grandson the other day to get his shots...she offered me a toke off of a joint and i said no...i'm sad that she would do this to me...and i know she thought it was harmless, but not for me...i was in rehab for 5 weeks...talked my 18 y/o son into letting me smoke a bowl the day i got out..i thought, no problem...i'll just smoke...8 days later i was on a two day 3 gram cocaine binge...now i have 7 weeks clean and i know that there is no pot in my future...

Hi, Tabitha, are you okay? Did you report the incident to the police? I'm happy you're staying away from the drugs. I hope you are okay. We don't hear from you enough. stay strong.
heyy srry i havn't been on here in ages im doing great in recovering form drugs :D:D and yes i did report it to the police! and they girsl are going to court well they had court Oct 4th but it got remanded till Nov 15
Good job on contacting the police. How are you taking care of yourself regarding recovery? You are a brave and intelligent young woman. :-D I waited 25 years to get counselling for assault and drug issues. I read your old posts. I'm so relieved you're ok.
