You sound like you are in high school, and it is important for younger kids to remember that their brains are still developing, so overuse of any substance should be avoided.
Smoking anything if you have asthma is not a good idea. The fact that you are experiencing bad effects reinforces that you are doing the right thing by trying to quit. Your body is telling you to stop. When I quit drinking many years ago after many years of hard use, it was because of the same kind of personality changes you named. Everybody's chemistry is a little different, and you can't ignore the fact that marijuana no longer works for you. Though most don't consider marijuana addictive, for you it sure feels that way, since the habit is so strong and the effects are so unpleasant. But everybody is different. Alcohol ended up being poison to me, but many people are able to enjoy it without any negative effects, and conversely, for many of us, marijuana has nothing but benefits. I am glad you are looking at the effects on you and taking control before it brings more harm.
It may not be this way forever- you might just need an extended break, but for now, you know you need to quit. It is hard because you have developed the habit, and all habits are difficult to break. This site is a fun place for you to connect, but while you are trying to quit, you might need to stay away since it triggers the desire. You can come back when you feel more comfortable.It may help to tell yourself that you just need to quit for a specific length of time- a month, 6 months, etc., so that it doesn't seem like a daunting, forever thing. But start with getting through a day, then extend that to a week, etc. In 12 step programs they reward for time stayed clean, and as cheesy as it seems, it motivates one to persist through discomfort to get that 30 day poker chip! You can do the same by giving yourself a present, or let me know and I will send you a poem:hippy:
It sounds like a cliche but it really works- take it one day at a time. Start out by deciding not to smoke for one day, and stay as busy as you can so you don't obsess. It would really help if you had a buddy to do this with, so you might check out addiction sites on the internet- there must be message boards where people post about quitting drugs or alcohol- it doesn't really matter what the addiction is- the process for quitting is the same. You have the power inside of yourself- you just need to believe, and focus that power. You have a choice, and when you feel yourself weakening, remember to tap into that power. It is your god-nature within. Remember, You can do this!:thumbsup:
