Hi Natasha welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you do have a problem with weed. I think one of the best definitions of been addicted, is when you stop controlling it and it starts controlling you. Which in your situation seems to be the case, I don’t know how capable you are of giving it up without outside help i.e. treatment/rehab, I think that’s something that only you can answer and won’t necessarily know until you have tried. So the first thing you need to do is make the decision to quit, then you have to think about how you are going to go about doing it. You may want to check out our How to detox smoking marijuana post, as it deals with some of the things you will need to consider.

I am very sorry to hear about the situation you are in, I know what it’s like I was just as addicted too, you have my deepest sympathy. But it is something that you can do something about, it is curable.

We will be with you every step of the way and anytime you want to get something off your chest we will be here to listen.

Take care and please keep us posted on what you decide to do and how it goes.

Good luck.

Hi Natasha

I know exactly where ur coming from but I think you have taken the first step by admitting there's a problem. I also was in a similar situation, and although I am still dealing with the demons of pot addiction, I can happily say I am not smoking anymore. If you really want to detox I think you should start to cut down slowly. Keep a diary of how much ur smokin and slowly reduce it. It is hard but do it for your child. I have a 3 yr old and am pregnant again and they are my driving force. There are heaps of great tips on here and encouraging words, print them out. Also I found it helpful to write a list of reasons why I wanted to do it and stuck it up in my kitchen to see all day every day, and for everyone else to see. It really does help to keep reminding urself why u want to stop.
Good luck. xx
