Got to quit, will there be withdrawal?

[sophiastarchild]

I've smoked for 14 years. For the last three, it's been every day. Now, I have to quit for awhile because of financial reasons.

I've tried to do this once before and had horrible withdrawal. I was disappointed because I always heard pot doesn't cause withdrawal.

I'm going to stay positive and deal with any unpleasant feelings if they come.

yea i was on the bbc news website this morning....and i saw a video of a man talking about his weed habits....he said he was smoking through the age of 18-19 and when he stopped he had major depression.....

but I guess it depends on the person really....dont let it get you down...if its got to be done its got to be done...

Good Luck bro! Try and keep yourself busy, do something with the time you would've spent smoking. Put away al your smoking accessories so you can't see them. And be prepared to drink and spend more down the pub, I did when I quit before.

Peace

I have had to stop several times where I thought I would never partake of the sacred herb again. The last time it took about a week before I did not really care or miss it. I found that life was ok without it and could balance any pain issues with an advil. Was much easier than I thought it would be as I thought I was addicted. So was surprised it was not a major withdrawl. Went a year until I discovered sites like this and than met a friend who has showed me how to gro my own. So now I have more access but it is nice to know that I am not as addicted as I thought after 20 plus years. Good luck!

it's like homer says

"Cold turkey isn't as delicious as it sounds."

The longest i've ever quit was about a month, because of my finals. I felt the difference and was glad when I could smoke again Nevertheless, I was quite proud about quiting a month.
If you put your will behind it, I'm sure it shouldn't be that bad.

whenever i dont have bud i have to keep myself busy. i usually end up playing alot of videogames, or going to work out alot or something. but since your quitting for financial reasons, my guess is that your not gonna run out and buy a bunch of videogames, or spend money at the pub. good luck man, think up a nice hobby.

Contrary to what government propaganda would have you believe, there is no such thing as marijuana withdrawl. Its all in your head from hearing government lies all your life.

marijuana is psychologically addictive, thats for sure

but its quite easy to stop when you really want. i smoke when i have weed, or when my friends have some. otherwise i wouldnt really smoke often. but im not gonna stop because i like weed! i just need to slow down a bit..
