All the best to you in your journey. I’m really interested in seeing how other people fare with this goal. I haven’t quit yet, but it nags at me every day – especially in the evenings when I’m too busy “indulging my growing midsection” to do anything worthwhile. I am depressed because I don’t accomplish much, but I keep on smoking and feeling bad about myself. It’s got to stop. It consumes my life. When I’m trying to quit, I can’t seem to be nice to anyone and all I think about is getting something. Then I cave in and go make a purchase, and confirm to myself that I am indeed a big fat loser. It’s a bad cycle.

I celebrated my sixth month free of pot last week. After years of spending all of my money and time on the shit, stuck in a cycle of of self-hatred and depression, I finally made the hard call and got some professional help. I know it sounds dramatic and you think you can do it yourself, but you’ve tried it on your own before, haven’t you? I ‘quit’ a dozen times and tried to do it on my own but my head kept telling me stupid shit that kept sending me back to it. My two week ‘re-hab vacation’ was the best 14 days of my life. And don’t worry, they will take you seriously.
