linshaq,
I am truly sorry to hear about your situation. It's really sad and I do sincerely hope you will get better soon.
You seem to be in alot of pain physically, emotionnaly and spiritually. It is good that you came here. I suggest you also read some of the posts in other sections like the Heroin one where you will see that people who have ruined their lives because of drugs have overcome their problems. Somes posts are truly inspiring.
Yes, there is hope for you but you have to want it. Do it for you, for your health, for your life...one day at a time. You should also maybe talk to your doctor about your situation. Perhaps there is a facility where you could go that would help you go through this hard time in your life.
Be strong and keep posting.

Quitting marijuana is not easy. Nobody said it would be easy. But you can do it. Take care of yourself. Drink lots of water. Read everything you can find on addictions and check this site out.

well it got to much for me over the weekend went to a NA meeting felt good then got really frustrated and angry and cudnt sleep and had a smoke i feel like crap for doing so and have to start all over again i so want my partner back and feeling hopelessness she has new friends male friends and i stuggle with this she says there only friends and i want to believe her so much but a littel part thinks shes moved on she dosnt no what feelings she has for me and needs time to heal i no i do aswell i hate my habit and carnt even look at myself in the morra as i hate what i see looking back at me....
Well done for getting to NA. You don't have to do this by yourself.
When I first went to 12 step meeting it all felt a bit to much... but I persisted. I Followed the sugestions and worked the steps, with the help of a sponsor. By doing those simple things I was able to find recovery from a 16 year daily addiction to marijuana.
Today I've been clean from marijuana and all other mind altering substances, including alcohol, for 2 years 3 months and 18 days. My life has completely transformed as a result of this and I owe my new life to the gifts which were freely given to my by working a 12 step program.
I never thought it would be posible live without marijuana and the felowships promised me I would never have to use again. What I've actualy got is so much more than that.
You can do it...you just need to accept the help available to you.
Good luck!

thanks matt im going to another meeting tonight and will be looking for a sponser hopfully sumone offers it is hard doing this with out the support i want from my x partner but thats life it getts why to hard when im fighting depresstion injurys and a addiction
My son is also trying to quit smoking and is struggling with depression. I suggested that he start exercising (seriously) and after 3 days he experienced positive results. I don't know if your injuries allow you to but I strongly believe in exercise, and of course good nutrition/natural supplements to help fight depression. It is difficult to get yourself to exercise when you feel depressed, but its worth the effort. Good luck
thanks for the reply fitness work is limited my physio has worked my hand that much i need to go back for more surgery for nerve repair work im just getting knock back after knock back but still not going for the easy fix and getting stoned have pain releaf know which is a good thing and hopefully on the road to recovery but very determed not to start using agian na has been good but still loking for a sponser hope i get one soon cheers for now pete
