I just want to not smoke as much because I feel its degrading my health as well as the weight of my wallet. But don't get me wrong its not like I'm a complete junkie to the point where I have no money and I place pot first....its just this desire is killing me!
I totally feel ya man. I was the same way and to some extent still get this damn urge.

I personally have decided to totally leave this obsession out of the picture until im done with school and have a job and even then i may have to deal with it for a while due to drug tests.

but, this is my nature, i become obsessed with shit that i like whether mary jane or computer games or legos (when i was a child i would play that in loneliness for HOURS every day)

I figured its really hard for me to change my obsessive behavior, although i have had success in controlling it. so just know that (imo) most people like me have this natural killing urge to do what they like all the time, but at some point u must setup a system for yourself if this scares u like it does with me.

in this system, u talk to yourself and have a set of rules and goals and limits, it works out just fine for me and it took me a while to get used to it

again, i still get the urge to smoke.

think about it like this: some people naturally just tend to want to eat a lot more than others. most of these people become overweight, however some few manage to behave themselves and control this urge with strong power of will

I aint sayin u should do what i did, no way! but do what u want and know that as a person who shares a good part of your story I have been able to overcome this urge quite well so far, however I have to give myself some breaks at some point and fulfill this urge, but i think as time goes by my rate of success gets better at resisting it under all circumstances.

I personally dont enjoy smoking everyday anymore, cuz i like my high and that plan wont let me get as high as i want due to high level of resistance created.

plus, in my daily life i got shitload of stuff to take care of and the anxiety of having undone stuff or worrying about whats due next day or this week or whatever is just not a good mix with weed for me.

But if i had truly relaxed leisure time in my everyday life i would probably increase my smoking to about 1ce a day or nightly...

but then again i know I will force myself to stop that trend from becoming dependence again and increasing my tolerance to a point where i will need a long break to let it go down...

perhaps occasional smokes for me are going to work better in such a situation, at best every weekend, with random times during the week if i really feel like i need the moment to myself...

but i wish u luck in whatever plans u have regarding your smoking habits and i tell u its not even hard to break it as much as u think it might be, after a while of soberness u get used to it and once u go back n forth a couple of times u will have a better sense of how to overcome the urge.

jeeez, i type way too much i know
flyingimam Reviewed by flyingimam on . Is this bad? Well I've come to the conclusion that I am a pothead. In other words I am addicted to pot. I think the reason why its so appealing to me is the fact that its relatively harmless for you as opposed to other drugs. Anyway its been about two years on and off smoking due to having to get drug tested randomly and now that I have finally completed the program I can freely smoke whenever I want to, so you see after 2 years of being scared to smoke pot you can understand why I would have such a keen Rating: 5
