Cold turkey for dope

[Cannabis Rehab Guest]

Today is the day. I have some incentive....a girl I was madly in love with many years ago wants to go out. We both married other ppl now we are divorced. She made a comment to me last night saying she remembered I smoked but she knows I don't now cuz I'm a daddy. I've done this before....2.5 years 07-09. Started back last august. I guess I was kind of down on myself and wanted to smoke again. At least I know I'm capable. If this isn't incentive enough idk what is....I just want to be happy again, high on life. It's not like I'm a big smoker, for example just had a small pinner yesterday...been looking at this cannabis rehab site for a while, ppl that post helps a lot of ppl that just read so keep posting you all. Of course if this doesn't work out with this girl I might go back. Idk yet....

Hi and welcome to the forum.

It sounds like as good an incentive as any, of course even of it doesn’t work out with this girl I am sure quitting will help to improve things in the romance area in the long term, drug user isn’t what most people think of when it comes to listing the traits of the kind of partner they are looking for, so I am sure it will help in that area.

Thanks for posting, take care and please keep us posted.

All the best and Good luck

Well I'm back. A successful weekend. My buddy smoked a bowl in front of me Saturday, didn't phase me....just keeping myself busy is the main thing helping me and a strong resolve. I personally don't think pot is a bad, evil thing like some do. But it does hamper you healthwise. I'm seeing my workouts improving so far and definitely more energy. I always hated trying to hide it....it's a relief now to not have that to worry about. I think clearer. Only getting 6-7 hrs of sleep right now but that's ok. I know it's like quitting anything else, gets easier every day. I quit cigs 11 yrs ago cold turkey.....waaay tougher

Well done on not smoking when your buddy did, that showed strength. No I don’t think the drug is necessarily “evil” either, at least not necessarily for everybody, like I often say I think it can depend on how you are using it, which can include factors like how much, for how long, and how you are reacting to it, ect, when it comes to drugs like the drug we can all be very different types of users, just like many other drugs some people can develop a problem while others don’t necessarily do so and yes like you say it can hamper you health wise in a number of different ways, smoking anything is bad for you for a start, not to mention the effects it can have for some on their mental health and life in general, but you have to monitor how you are reacting to it as a individual. Anyway well done on the progress you have made so far, I am pleased to hear things are going well and thanks for keeping us posted, please continue to do so and take care.

All the best

Well it's still going good. I ran the farthest I ever have last night in my workout. Weight is down. I slept 10 hours yesterday. My friend bought a bag and smoked most of a j right in front of me. It was cool, I just hung out and talked with him while he was doing it. My head is so clear. If you have problems they will still be there after the buzz wears away. In fact you may have more stress because you come down and realize maybe you are wasting money you shouldn't be. Anyway it's a week now. I know not much really but it's not really been too bad. Maybe it will get tough, I'll just have to see.
