I have currently being living with my boyfriend for 6 months, we have been together for a total of 17 months now.
I am almost at breaking point. He has smoked weed for around 15 months now and at first it was an occasional spliff a few times a week or on a special occasion, but now that we have begun living together things have taken a drastic turn for the worse. The occasional smoke has now turned into an every day thing ( he has admitted that he is addicted and has tried to quite but i dont feel he really wants too). He spends every penny he has on cannabis and this is now beginning to affect our relationship. ok dont get me wrong, i dont mind the occasional smoke to chill out but things are now so out of control.
I dont want the relationship to end, we get on so so well and have so much in common i just feel that its either the weed or me!!
Im constantly nagging him to change and to consider the relationship, its really getting me down.
Please help!!
He really needs to make the decision himself. I recommend you help him realize that he has a problem and then support him through the decision to quit. I have a marijuana addiction blog at http://www.marijuana-addict.com. You may wish to read the comments from other people who are addicted so that you can understand what your boyfriend is going through a little better.

Thankyou for your response........ i am unable to locate you on the link you have sent me.
He has finally quit after long last. Sunday evening was the last time. He has not being able to sleep and has been exceptionally irratable. Last night things got to breaking point and he overdosed on Valium. I wasnt aware of this until he phoned me at work in floods of tears.
He says that he can he load noises in his head and everything going over and over in his mind about the past present and future! Are these withdrawels normal?
Its the 5th day now, will things begin to get easier or is there alot more to come?
I really dont know how i can comfort him.
The doctor has now prescribed Zopiclone (Sleeping tabs) to help him sleep.
I just really dont wont him to relapse because things are so tough for him!!

hey i myself are in the same type of thing just im the one thats the smoker and hes the one wanting to quit, the doctor prescribed valium to me but i think i need a antiphychotic but im not recomending this, u cant expect him to go cold turkey because pot aint what it used to be its pumped with chemicles which i think is what hes addicted to ween him of it by only having some at say miday and then further along as u go=. i hope this helped
ive been using cannabis for 15 yrs, and for 5 years ive been using high grade skunk weed, trust me, withdrawall is traumatic, i tried many times to quit but failed after 2/3 days. a week ago i quit, ive now been clean for a week, with NO symptoms. i found a site that had carried out studies on rats and the use of lithium carbonate. i took this data to my gp and he eventually agreed to prescribe it to me. within 1hr of taking my first tablet all symptoms were gone, i just fell normal, its amazing, im due to continue for another week, which will be 14 days from the time i quit. you really should get him to get some from his gp. its not recognised as a treatment, my gp hadnt heard of it. it is however toxic and does make you tired for a day or so, but ive had no mood swings, no loss of appetite, no urges nothing. truly remarkable. its like a magic pill. the dreams are vivid still but not traumatic, the only thing it hasnt cured is my insomnia, but i have been given a 2 week course of diazepam, which sends me off in an hour. please,please try lithium bicarbonate.
