None of that is true. By the way, you're the only thing stopping yourself from doing what you want. Stop blaming and start taking responsibility, you limp wristed degenerate.

Might sound cliche, but you need to find a greater purpose to work towards. Something you want to accomplish, that won't be possible as long as you waste your time with drugs. As long as you're aimless you're going to find addictions to fill the void.

Fixed that for you.

Change your mentality. Instead of blaming the stuff, blame yourself. You are not in control of your life and are being ruled by a drug that isn't even chemically addictive. If you want to take your life further it's up to YOU to cut out what you don't need. If weed negatively affects you and you acknowledge this then you already know what to do.

Hey OP,

I've been sober for 16 days now, and today was the hardest day I've had yet. I haven't spent a New Year sober since 2009 and I'm 24. I know it is hard as fuck to stop, and after a few days you might have a string of really bad headaches for a few days (I went through this, wondering if it was thc withdrawal or sugar withdrawal), but please trust me when I say you will feel so much better about yourself...

I'm 245lbs currently and because I have stopped my self worth and confidence has come back. I've been flirting with a few girls at my new job and been asked to hangout by one cute girl at my old job. Not sure what's going on, but my aura is changing and I believe people can tell.

When I was getting stoned last year it was pretty much an everyday ocurrance. I was using it to escape my responsibilities, my problems, and most importantly I was escaping my own self and cutting off the people close to me in the process.

I understand your struggle brother/sister, but you can do it. Regular NA meetings have helped me a lot; no better person to talk this out with you than a fellow addict.

He knows what to do he needs help doing it. Are you retarded? Or is this another case of
>JUST DO IT

I don't even smoke weed but that answer is beyond useless.

Have you tried telling your roommate? He can just never offer.

>>17961084
He said he doesn't want to be in that position when I mentioned it before (not in any serious way) so it might not be the best idea

>>17961078
Thanks, you hit the nail on the head

Abusing weed, sure.

Stop it if its obviously harmful.

I keep my use down as it makes me unmovtivated, socially dysfunctional, paranoid and lazy. Most strains does this to me so i stopped using it daily. I use it maybe once a month now.

If its causing you negative effects then you shiuld stop.

>>17961103
I get that I NEED to stop.

My problem is that I need advice on how to effectively do that. Everyone can say they'll go cold turkey without some ideas on how to alleviate the change.

Mental will, self control and discipline and lots of determination. Also, visualizing your end goal if you were to be successful and visualizing the result if you were to fail helps a lot.

There's no step by step plan. I do suggest ridding THC from your system through exercise and drinking lots of cranberry juice.
