You can do it!
Be strong.
Hi doinit,
It seems you're stuck in a bit of a relaps patern. I really hope you manage to deal with it your oun way and just stop because you want to.
However, If like me, you are an addict, then you may want to seek help.
An addict is someone who can not stop when they want to...or if they do stop, they can not stay stoped.
My attempts at stopping normaly lasted hours, even though I had every reason to stop. As much as I didn't want to smoke, when it came down to it, I had no choice. Every morning I would get up and make a deal with myself not to smoke that morning and that I would try to do something with my life that day. The next thing I know, I'm sitting down with a half smoked joint thinking 'how did that happen'. Once I've started smoking, everything else goes out the window and I just smoke until I pass out, then I get up again and do the same thing again.
You may just be a heavy smoker... and a heavy smoker can smoke daily for years and years, but when they make a firm desision to stop, though it may be difficult..they can stop...and they can stay stoped.
So which one are you?
If you're an addict there are hundreds of thousands of groups all over the world with people who can give you all the help and direction you need to live a great life free from drugs and alcohol.
If you're a heavy smoker. When you want to stop...you will.
best of luck.

fell of the wagon for mounths . slowly lost the plot again , pushed it to the edge . been straight again for 3 weeks . feeling good again , head still feels a little bit mush , but once agian i realise how it just isnt nessasary . The only thing to go back wards is my sex life . But i know this is the way to live . So i try again .... I AM DOING IT .

Been on and off the pot have moerated big time which is a good thing , been working away for 3 mounths , been straight but when i get home time for a smoke and a drink , and get out of it , as i said i have moderated , leopards and spots , all in all life is good , relashionships with my family have improved greatly , which is very important . The yin and yang of life . Have had a couple of carrear changes , Worked as a bouncer for allmost 2 years , gave me a new perspective on life and has calmed my temper and made me not react so quickly to things that piss me off and turn off , working away from my family has given me a lot of time to think about what id really important to me . Im getting more out of life . Alot less pot , and change in routine has put me in a happier place , lot less frustration in my life . A good life does not come easy , you have to be pro active and work on going forward ,,, Got into ZEN this year and that also has been a big help on many differant levels . Time will tell ,, one day at a time :)
Hi doint
Nice to hear from you and glad to hear you are doing well.
I totally agree with you. Being away from family surely makes you think more about what is important in your life and how family is important.
Hope to hear from you soon again.
Keep off the pot!

Had a crasey start to the year ,, cut loose , pills , pot and piss ... have been of all drugs know for 2 months , feeling good :) . the key for me was my partner and I did a 10 day fruit juice detox . no food for 10 days , only freshly squeezed fruit juice 3 times a day . Dropped 8 kg and re set my system . We are both off all smoke now , just shows you can reset your life in 2 weeks if your head space is in the right places . life is so much easier much , much less stress and almost no agro . Relationships are better than they have been for years . The smartest thing we have done for a long time . health is were its at . Get of the drug crutch and start to really live life :)

Daisy , If i couldnt sleep i would get up make a hot milk watch some TV and give it another go . Dont look at the clock , deep breath , good in bad out , as for the dreams i like most of them . Good in good out , feeling good in my self have been exposed to pot quit a few times and havernt weakened . Big help having my partner on side this time :)
Been back from working away for 4 mths straight all that time . How easy it is to get back on the dakkar train . Feeling pretty ordinary at the moment . Quickly it happens and a rut begins . I try , will power low ,,, to moz is another day .
Trying again , Been back on the pot for the last mth . How quickly it takes control again . I try again , i know it is the wise thing to , I am no spring chicken and the smokeing is affecting my health on all levels . One day at a time , the first week is the hardest ..... I try again , not giving in to the smoke .
