will i ever stop missing weed?

[Detoxer]

So I'm around 9 weeks into soberiety. I can just about accept that I've now got a life free of drugs and can honestly say I don't need to be stoned to function or to cope with things

I think the main turning point is when something majorly bad happens in life will I use a bad experience or some bad news as an excuse/justifiation to get some the drug - and I suppose only time will tell on that.

I can now see life for ever without weed, it's still strange and still suprising to myself that I can actually say that and believe it

However, I still get the odd passing thought about the drug and how I'd like a smoke! I'm not in any fear of relapse but I wonder how long it will be until i never ever even think about it?? i guess i still miss my friend.

I also think that as time goes by it is dangerous to think that i've proved that i can master my problem so occassional smoking could be alright, keeping the discipline is soo important no matter how long its been!

I guess, when thinks in life are still tough and sometimes life gets me down it is important that i don't use that as a reason to start toking again, i must never forget how down and useless i felt when smoking everyday -


anyway, sorry i just needed to vent!

Well done dude. No one said what we've done was easy but accept it now those days are long gone and we don't need it anymore. Yeah I still think about it. After having it my life for 20 years it is like losing and old friend. But I now see it as an old friend who did me no favours other than take and with friends like that who needs enemies a.
So keep strong, you are doing great.
All the best, Adam
