Day 3 - My story and my situation

[mafiaboy]

Hi everyone,

first off id like to say that CannabisRehab.org is REALLY awesome. this is my story very condensed. I started smoking pot when i was 16 , i had a lot of money since I owned 2 very successful internet businesses. I'm a major computer geek , and i love money. Anyways , i started to smoke daily and buying a lot of marijuana. I had a lot of money so the price of it didn't bother me at all. Within a few months i wasnt making money from the internet anymore and lost my gf. I stopped smoking for 7 months , got back seriously on the internet and got a new gf. Relapsed , lost my gf , internet business went bad again and started selling dope. Now since i had a lot of money , i was the only 17yr old buying pounds at a time to sell in ounces so the money was good . Only problem is... i went from mega computer geek to skipping class because i had a deal for a few ounces , needless to say i developed a super street mentality. People even tried to rob me with knives and i was able to defend myself with my bare hands on several occasions , last year i would of crapped my pants in that situation. i stopped though

So now im on day 3 , im sleeping OK but i have the usual symptoms of vivid dreams , mood swings and etc.. I quit to be more productive and do better in school but it seems NOTHING is fun anymore. Why would i go watch a movie if im not stoned? why should i go eat out if im not munching? why should i meet up with my friends if im not smoking up?

I also have to change my buddies , their all major drug dealers. This is gonna rough..

Also , all my friends are pot dealers.

Hi Mafiaboy and welcome to the forum.

It’s funny I too share some of the history that you speak off. I too had an internet business that made a bit of money, was pals with drug dealers, I even grew and sold a bit at times, I was very different to how I am now, but I smoked too much and everything went tits up and I ended up in a right mess. Anyway I too found that for a long time I wasn’t able to get much pleasure from life and suffered pretty bad depression, but it does get better with time, it takes your brain a while to chemically readjust, but once it does I am sure you will be able to feel pleasure again, 3 days is still very early days, just hang in there pal and I am sure that you will get better, it’s going to take some time and you will have to make a real effort to rebuild a new life, but I am sure you will get there in the end, just take it one day at a time. I am glad you have found the rehab group helpful, I hope I am starting to make up for my past sins. We can all turn our lives around if we try.

Take care, thanks for posting and please keep us posted on how it goes.

All the best and good luck!

thnx for the fast response admin . I would like to point out that I think your doing a great job with the rehab group , i dont even see any banner advertisements or cpa offers so this tells me your rehab group is strictly to create a good community and to help people.

Thanks Mafiaboy, actually we do have to advertise to help fund the rehab group and the time and money we spend on it, my partner who does more of the tech side is playing around with that side of things at present which might be why you have not seen them at the mo, but no it’s not much of a money spinner, so far it’s cost us far more than it’s made us, but hey some things aren’t all about the money. My ultimate goal is to run a business that makes money and does good, but what the chances are of that I don’t know, LOL, so far from what I have seen of this world doing the naughty things usually makes far more money which I guess gives people far more incentive to do them.

Anyway from one webmaster former smoker to another, I wish you the very best of luck, I myself and I am sure everybody else here will try to do what we can to support you. As I say it is extremely early days, nowhere near long enough to get a realistic idea of how life without smoking is going to be, it takes a while for things to settle down and the fun to come back, but most of us find we do improve, it just takes time.

Take care and please keep us posted.
