second day wihtout weed after 6 years everyday smoking

[chisme]

ok , u guys no i smoke like a mutha, well i stopped and this is my econd day without weed......what can i say it fucking blows, my mind is like,,,,,,BLAAAAAAH!!!

my body is like...fucking throbing my whole body has a wierd burny feeling to it, and i cant stop with the fucking cigs, its payday tomorro and i know the herb is there if i want it,.


BUT


basicly im having a revalation. im begining to think in ways i never thought before,

i dunno how to say this.....but im sad IM REAL SAD , its like iv turned by back on something that helped me out in so many cases in the last 6 years, theres been good times, and even better times, but im feeling like i FADING OUT, like a popular fog that is becoming forgotten about. its like to everyone im just......chris , i know its wierd buts its like im fucking furnature,,,,"yeah thats chris" nothing much to say. i need to have a background and story and meaning.......i feel im failing through the goals of life....i have a shit job....right now no girlfriend (honestly not a steady for about a year now) and its getting me fucking depressed i mean yeah ima geezer i can handle a dry patch but this is fucking ridiculous i mean yeah ive had the naughty nights out and had some fun here and there......but thats it no one wants to know after that. are there no girls in the world who wanna go steady?!

thats not it though i geuss i mean if i really want i just go get drunk get pissed find a pussy and fuck it.......but thats it!! im not that person anymore im fucking 20 years old now i mean i gotta move out my house asap, i have direct debits from higher purchases i wish i never made now, i owe a friend £700 and my new job is not half paying its way,

im ....out im finished i dont knwo what im doin any more i cant stop fucking thinking about just sitting down with a joint BUT I DONT HAVE ONE , plus in the back of my mind i know i wanna get on with things.

its hard . its real hard everyone i see i just get the urge to "hey man have u got a joint?" but then i keep silent because i know i cant go through with it myself (i hate any form of begging) im kicking myself thou because so many people have it harder then me (poverty, homelessness) and they get through the day....so why cant i? i feel so fucking weak right now i just wanan curl up and ball and dissapear for a month or so untill my homegrown is ready....but then the message in my head AGAIN "TRY TO GET SOME WEED"
i cant stop it im smoking yet another fucking cig now the second in this post and it taste so dry and dirty,

many of you guys have quit weed for like weeks or more at a time, so why am i finding it so fucking hard?!?!! im even thinking of meeting this girl im AVOIDING incase she has a joint.........and that ladies and gents is NOT what im all about...this is what i mean im goin to lengths i would never normaly got o to get a smoke, ad i dont like it,

i dotn even really know why im posting this i geuss i just want someone to reply "im the same" just so im not fucking doin this shit alone....but its like im missing a part of me,,,,a peice of my soul, weed brought me up from what i was......pathetic....but now im feeling in myself...pathetic. because im not smoking. and im fucked i dont knwo what to do.



u guys remember my "im goin to beat up my boss"? i nealr fucked everything up today i nearly threw any slight reminicence of a work ive done recently.....he just pushed and pushed and pushed every little fucking thing HE think is wrong but everyone thinks is right......i was so close to heabutting that old cunt into next week but i did something else. i got sneaky ....we had a delivery of spur bracket shelving for the shop and i lifted 4 stacks and 5 packs of brackets in one and then when i he tried to take them off me they nearly pulled him over....when he regained his balance he looked at me and i gave him the hardest "yeah fucking remember that" look and i think he got the picture cos he hasnt been snydy today. geuss that one good thing,,,,,,,

but still im now clueless to how to get to sleep tonight and just get through tomorro.


QUITTING WEED IS THE HARDEST THING IVE EVER DONE.

AND FOR THOSE WHO WANNA COME ON SAYING "BLAH BLAH NO IT WAS EASY FOR ME" well look 1. diffrent for everyone 2. six years of smoking 7-9 joints day sometimes even more does this to you....it not great. it sucks


all i have to look forward to now is that glorious day when i finaly get the wonder herb back in me and i cans top posting these long assed posts. but it seems so far.:(

[chisme]

no bad replies plz.

i just had to say some shit

[OreO]

i didnt read the whole thing cause i gotta jet, it worries me tho cause ive only been smoking 3 straight years...im 19 and i quit once for a week...it was so hard i went crazy. It worries me to think what'll happen to me when i HAVE to quit...if i ever have to...i prob will, but it kind of freaks me out cause i felt crazy after not smoking...my mind was racing, my body what fucked, i couldnt sleep, my appetite was fuckedd...

[Big Calhoun]

Well, I've been there and it wasn't nice. After leaving college, I smoked like a train for about 7 or 8 years. Had to quit in order to get the job I have now and pass the drug test. It sucked...ROYALLY. I had 'restless legs' the entire week and got 4 hours of sleep that TOTAL week. At firsst I'd come home and be so bored but then later, I'd dread going to bed becuase of the RLS. It's not painful, per se, but it is VERY annoying. Anyway, after a week, it finally went away and I got back to normal. Actually quit smoking for about a year while I got into a routine with the new job.

As far as life goes, it looks I try to tell these kids on here...you get out of it what you put in. You can have anything you desire and obtain any goal you set for yourself if YOU really want it. You control the herb, you don't let it control you...just like you drive a car, it doesn't drive you. Maybe you just need a little time to prioritize everything and develop a game plan while you dry out a little. As you start to implement your plan, you can slowly get back into herb smoking while making sure you regulate when and how much so that it doesn't affect you or obtaining your goals.

If you serious about taking a break right now, you gotta find some things to occupy your time. Excersise is always great. Going for short roadtrips is one of my personal faves. But try to find something to keep you engaged and focused so you're not jonesin.

[Gothen]

I have the same problem. Quitting weed is so hard for me, no matter what. I've calmed down a lot, but I can't stop, its too hard without weed. I'll admit, I use drugs to escape, but I've seriously limited my drug choices to just weed. So if people want to bitch and moan at me for being "addicted" to the herb, so be it, they can just go pop some more pills and down them with their fucking alcohol.

ITS OKAY, MAN! Quitting weed is and WILL be one of the hardest things you'll ever do, but only for the first couple weeks. The first week is the hardest, just make it 5 days. After five days, reassure yourself...its already been FIVE days without it, I can make it another 9, right? YES. YOU CAN! I guarantee that in a couple weeks, you're going to be okay, and SO happy that you have quit, at least for the time being.

Just THINK about how great that high is going to be when your plants come in. It's gonna be 1/3 orgasm and you effing know it!

YOU'RE CHISME!!!!!! YOU'RE MUTHAFUC*KIN CHISME!!!!!!!!! do you know how much advice people take from MUTHAFUC*KIN CHISME?!?!?!?! they almost changed the name from advice to CHISME.:smokin:

hope i cheered ya up some :D

[friendowl]

psychological addiction in its finest form

been there

came up with the conclusion

you have crossed over to the dark side
suffer forever or stay high and live right

quitting weed is like quitting orgasms
you could do it
but why would you want to

after you smoke life will be clear again

[Big Calhoun]

That is one thing that keeps me going when I quit...thinking about how great the high will be once I start smoking again. You gotta figure, you smoked for six years and now you're stopping. In another month, you'll be like a virgin again!

[Peach.Optimo.Bluntz]

dood, 1. your 20 years old, 2. yer not a geezer 3. Dont fucking sweat it man. Im a married man with a daughter and lemme give u some advise. STAY SINGLE FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN! AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE!.

[OzzyOz]

yeah dude ^ i agree with peach optimo bluntz
you have alot of years ahead of you
things will soon get better
Man, weed shouldn't interfere with your life that much!!!
Quitting weed should be easy, i went 3 months without weed... wasn't that hard. I mean, i only would smoke 3-5 times a week before i quit.

Now i smoke twice a week and everytime i get high, it's a bit more "special".... it doesn't get old to me, i still love blazing up that chronic with my friends.

[LazySmoking420]

I relate to everything you said 100%. For alot of us... Life really does blow.

Responsiblity is needed to survive on this dull routin of everyday survival a bunch the masses that populate this wasteland.

A old vietnam vet told me something I'll never forget over a joint.

"Times with Lots of Money but no Weed, UNBEARABLE! , Times with Lots of Weed but no Money, BEARABLE...."

Everyone has prolly heard that one before but its the dead truth.

[growitandsmokeit]

Just chill I'm having a break after smoking constantly for a bit and it has been hard. Not as hard as you are finding it but still pretty hard with sleepless nights and weird dreams and thoughts, I feel bored shitless as well. It gets better after 5 days I reckon. At the moment I'm trying to only smoke at the wekkends as my mind is just fogged up and i can't concentrate and getting fed up of speaking like a retard! When you get sober you feel as if you have woken up and looking back on stoned life seems a dream. I'm looking back on the last 6 Months of constant smoking thinking god how did I get here. You do feel good after the weed has left your system you feel full of energy and in control. At the end of the day I will always always love my weed and will never abandon it for good.

[Its a Plant]

Chiz-may, I hope things go better for you in the near future, whatever that may be.

I too recently had a mini-epiphany, and came to the realization that I rather enjoy a sober life every now and then. For the past 3 years or so, I too have smoked more than your neighborhood power plant. I never thought about completely giving up smoking, just cutting back.

Like earlier this week, I didn't have any weed, yet my mind wasn't even thinking about smoking or scoring a bag. So I thought, why mess with a good thing? Mentally, I was in a fantastic mood despite being a somewhat unfamiliar sober compared to the last 3 years.

Like our friendly cc owl said, mental addiction's a bitch. I know I'm mentally hooked, and my only explanation for not feeling it now is that I have an anurism or something. Try and find something, anything to occupy your time, be it color in a book or rebuilding old cars. Everyone has hobbies other than weed, and if you don't, get some!

I personally view weed as a terrific accomplice to life. It should never take over one's life to the point that you become "stuck" in the same place, never challenging yourself or moving forward with your life.

My best goes out to you though, man. God knows we all have rough patches to ride out, and it always helps if others around you understand. You are your toughest opponent, and in a sense, your own enemy. Don't let these "huge" things in life drag you down, because sooner or later, they will pass, but you will still be here, standing strong. So stand strong, brother.

One love.

[ANAVRIN RX]

wow i didnt think people could have problems quittin herb.
is this normal? i dont kno to many stoners who had this problem on a dry week

[Fengzi]

One of the Four Noble Truth's of Buddhism is that "Life is Suffering" . In other words, it ain't all peaches and cream. Not for you, not for me, not for anybody. The solution to every problem just brings another problem. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has a perfect life. No matter how good it may look to others there's always something there that sucks.

I don't say this to be a bummer, in fact, just the opposite. Once I came to the realization of this simple fact, and accepted it for what it is, I became a much happier person. The key is to look at what you have and what is good in your life, not focus on what you don't have.

As far as quitting weed goes, just hang in there, it can be done. From the time I was 12 years old until I was about 26 I smoked as much, if not more than you do/did. That's 14+ years of serious smoking. Then I just stopped and didn't smoke anything for more than 5 years. It was tough but I lived. You'll never, ever completely forget it. There were many times (especially on a nice day when the weather was just perfcet and I knew a nice fat joint would be sooo nice) when i really wanted a smoke. But, I lived. After those long 5 years someone recomneded I smoke to help with back pain so I started
again. Now I just smoke 3-5 times a week, and almost always at night. I find I enjoy the times I do smoke a lot more now than when I was high all the time.

Ok, now I'm just rambling. Anyway, hang in there Chisme, things'll get better soon.

[fraggle]

i'm 33 smoked since i was 15, used to get to the point when i'd run out and panic would set in, i smoke a henry over two days usually, but nowadays try to have a few days of a month, sometimes even a week, firstly cos it gets to the point i cant get stoned, and secondly and most importantly to remind myself i smoke cos i want to, not cos i feel like i have to, bear with it mate, and lol ur next spliff will taste so sweet, and ur life always looks and feels stranges through striaght eyes mine always does, think its a good thing, sorry wafling !!

[NotALlama]

I totaly can relate to you man. I have tried to quit alot , i have been an everyday smoker for about 2 1/2 years. and even at that it was hard for me to even stop for a week...I love the herb too much man...

[3rdEyeVision]

I dont know if someones said this already but its like twice as easy to quit if you do it in steps....start by not smoking whenever you can, then only smoke at night or whatever, then only smoke once a day etc.

[dopesmoker]

yeah what 3rdEyeVision said. Set up a routine/schedule for when you smoke, say around noon everyday or lunch and dinner everyday, and maybe it will work out well enough that you dont have to quit and if you do need to quit then it can be one of the steps to stopping.

[likemclever]

Hey Chisme,

Believe me when I say the first week is the worst. The â??woe is me life is not worth living without weedâ?� stuff will dissipate. The hardest time for me is when Iâ??m board or I just want to sit back and chill at night.

I think itâ??s a good idea that youâ??re stopping for a while. You may be 20 and young but you donâ??t want to wake up at 30 and realize the only thing you have to show for your life is the ass imprint in the couch. Use this time to get your life straight and your priorities. Youâ??re number one donâ??t forget that. Weed is only a treat for being a good boy and working your ass off. Shift your focus from weed to finding a good job. If you donâ??t have the education for a good job then now is the time to get one. I didnâ??t go back to school until I was 28 so your way ahead of me. Think of it this way. The plans you make today are going to determine your future. Set yourself up for a good future.

Donâ??t think of it as quitting (cause thatâ??s just too depressing) think of it as postponing while you sort some important things out. Donâ??t worry about the girls and all the other stuffâ?¦think only of yourself and your future. And the chicks will be beating down your door. Plus you donâ??t just want any chick you want â??theâ?� chick. Youâ??ll find her when you are meant to and you donâ??t want to find her until youâ??re OK with yourself first.

As far as sleeping goes go buy some Excedrin PM (it works great.) Exercise will help VERY much not only for your body but for your sprit as well.

Good luckâ?¦..and NO this isnâ??t the hardest thing you will ever have to do (I wish it were) youâ??ll look back on it and realize that most of it is just in your head. Donâ??t feel sorry for yourself (thatâ??s what I tend to do when I quit for the first few days) and just press on.

:thumbsup:

[chisme]

thanx allot you guys, its now 06:43 am im up for no reason lol,
thank you for taking the time to .....relise when someones seriously in doubt with themselves,

thank you all, im gonna go work now and hope it takes this shit outta my mind,

it was very strange last night,,,,,i went and met that girl and had a.....nice chat strangly enoutgh just walking and talking.....got bored when i got home but meh....

cant beleive how much this sucks thuo can u beleive i even tried to smoke an empty bowl last night?? just incase there was any thc resin in there...there wasnt lol

thing is tday ive got paid..........lol thinks its gonna be even harder not to buy some,


would i be a total failure in this if u bought half ounze and made it last the month? i mena if cutting it down in step is the answer like 3rd eye says then well....half ounce a month is REALLY LOW for me but would i be sorta selling out?

[Sabrinaleena]

All that you said... so damn true. I was about 30 when I came to the same realisation. I'm cool with it, too. Once I realised that things weren't supposed to always be perfect, and very rarely are, it made me enjoy the good things in life even better, and helped me ride out the shit times, because I know that nothing is going to last forever.

I smoked steadily from 15 to about 22. But stopping, for me, was a bit easier than for the original poster. I was pregnant, I had more of a reason to quit. Did I miss it? Fuck yes. I thought about it every day for about... two weeks.
And yes, smoking too much for too long is a bad thing. Too much of anything is a bad thing. We need food but too much will fuck us up. We need water, but if you drink too much water that'll fuck you up as well. Moderation is the key. One day you'll be able to smoke again and it'll be great because you'll be a noob again :D A few hits and that's all it will take. And also, you'll know that you lived without it before. And it doesn't have to be the center of your life.

Good luck and lots of love to you.

Sabrina

[throsp]

The last few posts seem to be on to something here...

I'm also in a situation where I've had to give it up, and I've been in the situation many times before in my life... That's what we have to deal with when the legal machine codes our personal habits as illegal, and gives employers the right to invade our privacy with drug testing. Can't remember exactly, but the last time I researched drug testing I came across some info. about how something like 60% of the positive "catches" for drug tests are for pot, compared to miniscule rates for heroin, crack, etc---but that's a different rant.

Anyhow, what seems to help me the most is to prepare mentally for when I have to quit. I know the original post is about being 2 days in already, but this may help too...

I went through a dry phase without any mental prep before, and I couldn't stop thinking about smoking for the first 48 hours, and it was a steady thought for the next two weeks. But the next time I went without, I decided I was going to psych myself up for it constantly before I had to start.

I would just think to myself constantly, "Ok it's great to smoke but I'm in control of it, I'm going to be without for a while but it will be ok and I'll be ok." It sounds kind of hokey, but it really helped. And when I went off the smoke, I would keep reminding myself "Ok I'm not smoking now but I've got THE REST OF MY LIFE to enjoy smoking, this is just temporary, I can get through it easily." Compared to the other times I went dry, I felt a lot less stress and need to smoke---because really it's 95% psychological after the acute effects leave your system. Hope that helps!

Remember, you're always in control of what happens inside your head.

[tumbleweed]

chill out pothead
lol but on the real tip, do what makes you feel better chisme i can relate to that situation your saying your with your friends and its like whose the pothead and they all say you, fuck em quit smoking get your life where you want it to be and if you feel like toking on the ganja again go for it no matter what anybody says weed puts you in a diff state of mind and makes you think diff than when you arent stoned look at your situation in a clear state and figure out what YOU wanna do, then DO it

Absense makes the heart grow fonder. Mary Jane <3

You'll get through it Chris mate. If you wanna buy that half then do what you gotta do. It's up to you.

[willystylle]

Taking a break from weed is like having to take a suppository. Just the thought of it makes you sick, but you know that you gotta do it cause its good for you in the long run.

[Skink]

I went 15 years without pot,suck it up,it only gets easier as time goes on... I plan on taking a break soon,only to experience what I did when I smoked for the first time after without for a while,2 hits and I was like a space cadet...LOLz...

[chisme]

cheers you guys, i did get some weed but i didnt buy a half ox i ony bought an 8th but i have learned slightly like when i bought it i waiting half hour before lighting one up, today i didnt even really think of it much (well u know how it is) i did really lol, but yeah seemed abit easier today cos i had 1.....yes 1 im kinda proud and now when i wanna smoke one im like nah fuck it ill wait another couple of hourse............hope it carries on liek this could be a new begining for me,.

[poorprincess]

I was smoking like four bowl packs a day. I'm on day two of not having any pot. I have money, but I'm doing all I can to just stop smoking for now. It's really really difficult because though my body doesn't necessarily need pot, I am going nutty without it. I'm being a total bitch to my boyfriend and he's being a total bitch to me(we're doing this together). But at least we have eachother. Which isn't that helpfull since both of us cant help but wake up and say something like, "damn a phat blunt'd be nice huh?" and we both know I have money to get it....

It's hard.

Hang in there. When you smoke again it will be sweet.
