Journey to sobriety

Recently i have not been getting very high off of bud any more.
after about 4 months of smoking every day 3 to 4 times out of my bong i noticed my tolerance was very high. i checked into this and somebody told me that i should start switching strains..well for the past month i still have began to switch and see a little difference.but i still am missing that old high.
So my new decision is to take a month long Tolerance Break to get that high back.
thanksgiving is coming up soon so i cant start it right now.Gotta enjoy the Feast:D
But anyways the point is i have tried to go on a break before and i couldn't last 3 days.
Anyways wish me luck on this Journey to sobriety

good luck dude, I am doing the same thing with alcohol.... it's not an easy journey especially with family and friends around the holidays....

Here is a fun true fact- Alcohol is the only drug that if you drink long enough....when you try to quit you could die. Heroin isnt like that, crack isnt like that, benzo's arent like that, meth aint like that.....just booze. And it's LEGAL :D

Not that i would recommend taking. Whatever you do just deal with it and don't take no sleeping pills, that's just me b/c i hate pills. I was lookin at some but the side effects were way to serious. Reading a book might help.

i agree your willpower not to smoke it will be tested, but if you can resist it you will definately reap the rewards on xmas day, best of luck mate:thumbsup:

It kind of upsets me to see threads like this, but honestly if you're life is centered around "getting high" I think it is time you put that aside. If the people you know can't chill without lighting up, drop em.Terms like sobriety in relation to cannabis only further the stigma of marijuana smokers. If you consider taking tolerance breaks, why not just take a permanent break. If you need to smoke herb to enjoy food, either best of luck with your kemo or depression and I hope the herb gives you some comfort, otherwise, doooood i think you got a problem maaaaan.

Threads like this are similar to the duuuuude i'm soooooo high right now threads that we are glad to be rid of. :(

sorry for the rant :D

yeah saw a guy drop to the ground seizing once and hit his head on the way down cracking his skull open and blood everywhere, thank god the Government makes good cash on Alcohol or I would say it being legal is a crime!

That's not entirely true man. You are right saying alcohol is the most common drug that causes death when addicts try to quit it. However it is definitely possible to die cold turkey off any stimulants, heart attacks are quite common. Also, depending how far gone the meth head is, it is more than likely they will die cold turkey off meth. If you've been on it long enough, meth causes such an insane physical addiction that your nervous system will shut down if you don't get a fix. Not to mention you start to eat/smoke your scabs if you can't find any real meth. You literally eat yourself to death. Fucked up eh?

you probably aren't having sleeping problems anymore but if you are i recommend nighty night tea. I've been dry for 2 days and usually i cant get to sleep till about 5:00 am but the nighty night put me to sleep before midnight and i had a really solid undisturbed sleep.

i need to respect the herb not abuse it.
but this month will also do wonders for my self respect.
which makes me feel better:)
anyways thanks for the support guys im still going strong today i Finally feel like i can think straight.its been a while since i have been able to feel that.
