I am 26 years old and have been smoking weed for 5 years, the past 3 years I have smoked average 5 times a day. I hold 3 jobs, but can not function without weed. I work with children, at two of my jobs and the other is just retail. This is where I am ashamed. I am exactly the person I am telling these young kids not to be...yet I can not stop. I never thought that I would become so addicted to weed that I would be in this state, but silently, it just happened. Slowly your finances include enough moeny for weed, but never enough for food and gas. I begin to second guess some of the friendships that I have. I am so scared to lose my best friend if I quit, yet is he really a best friend if he doesn't stick by me? I'm so sick of my family cracking jokes about me being the pothead. Thats what I have become to them....nothing more than a pothead. Im very scared that if I don't quit, my amazing boyfriend will become fed up. He only wants the best for me and genuinely believes in me. I feel that I must wait until the school year is over and deal with this in the summer...reason being, I don't want to go through withdrawls when I have two important jobs to worry about up until June. When I am only working at my retail job in the summer seems like the best time to quit. Cigarettes too. At this point, my brain is only thinking one thing...how can I do this without crumbling tp pieces?
Hello My and welcome to the board,
I read your post and it seems like you are seriously questioning your self and your addiction to weed.There is never a good time to quit smoking weed. We always have one excuse or another not to quit. But isn't that what addiction is all about. Qutting now or next summer will not change a thing. Quitting an addiction is hard. Nobody said it would be easy. But think about it. You seem to be sick and tired of smoking weed. Your family thinks you are a pothead ( I can relate to that cuz all my friends used to think the same thing about me and its not fun. In fact, it hurts us). You are worried your boyfriend will get sick and tired of your addiction and you say you always have have money for weed but enough for food and gas. Well, if you continue to smoke weed, pretty soon you won't have enough money to get to those three jobs of yours.
Why don't you quit smoking weed now? You will feel so much better about yourself. Its not an easy decision to take, I agree, but one that will change your life for the best. Believe me. I smoked weed for mone thant25 years on a daily basis. I quit three years ago and I am a much happier person.
Think about it.
I am looking forward to reading you again.
Be strong.
