Hi Kerri, try some Omega3 capsules and an hour of exercise each day. Yeah, I know how hard it is to exercise when you'd rather be high, but it's worth fighting through the apathy for the good feeling that comes post-activity. Congrats on the methadone kick, that's not easy.

Dear kerri,
Quitting pot is very difficult but it can be done. One day at a time, one hour at a time if need be.
What helped me quit the habit was taking care of myself. Take vitamins, exercise, drink lots of water, a twelve-step on-line program for marijuana addicts and most important prayer. I also read lots and lots of books on addiction.
Be strong. You will be much happier once you get rid of this addiction.

Kerri my mother was on methodone at 36 years old and she died in my arms at 38 when i was 20 I can say this her partner is still on methodone now and seems to be suffering from some parkinson or something similiar. The bong I live with a pot addict and there is no right or wrong answer. How i have developed is ?????? but i have picked up an addiction to bad men and cigarettes and binge drinking.
This method worked for me when i was 28 i come across a women addicted to herion i done one thing i showed her my world at that which was innocent but scared i moved city after spending 2 years with her as a mate. After 2 years from a suit case she owner her own home had her first child with hep c and smoked the occasional cone. But would not let it interfere with her life when i left the town she told me you cant leave you helped me up herion. 6 months later she relapsed for 4 weeks i had a gut feeling from 800km away i told her to kick the wank out and change her locks she trusted me and she is still powering on with 2 children and living a healthy lovely life more so than me.
What changed well she kept her friends but also visited them but did not need what they needed or offered she lived with someone elderly initially and learnt that life was short and she need to care for herself and another,. She would call me at all times in the morning when her thoughts were going rampered but most of all she new she would never have to tell me she was a addict but i always new as she could trust me as she new my mother through heroin and she new that i would help her sort this and that she would have the strength to follow.
Think outside the circle think about the people that care for you put boundaries up towards those who do no understand your crisis in yourself they will always offer the easy way out.
Most importantly meet some one that is the opposite of what you are experiencing so they can share the wealth of what they are living. Find someone innocent and if you have the ability not to infect them with your thoughts and treasure their unique innocence as you were before everything took you away you will adapt as you as a person and you will show greater strength than what you could ever imagine,.
