How I did it: Well i have been struggling with this idea for a very long time. i never made a real attempt to stop because i didnt think i would be able to do it so it remained a 'one day' goal. then i broke up with my boyfriend, hit the drugs harder than before and became really depressed. I quickly realised that i was messing myself up and also realised that id made a huuuuge mistake in leaving my almost perfect boyfriend. so i went to him and told him that i wanted to work things out, he was all for it but there was one problem. he had stopped smoking weed when we broke up and he didnt want to be with someone who was still smoking, for obvious reasons. So in other words if i wanted him back i had to quit...

It was a massive decision to make but at the end of the day i was never going to choose drugs over this guy. I fuckin love him..

Sooo, i stopped smoking weed 2 weeks ago and i can honestly say the struggle has almost been non existent. I found something that makes me so much happier and i dont need it now. after i stopped smoking i realised just how much of an effect drugs do have on your life and i had no idea how much it had all fucked me up until i stopped doing it and cleared my head. I feel great and i have accompished so much in the last 2 weeks.

My original intention was just to stop smokin weed, i never intended to stop taking other drugs but since ive stopped, my desire to take other shit has gone away too. Im just not interested. i see all of it from a different point of view now. ive had my fun and i really do believe that im over it.

I thought that when this day came it would be the hardest thing ever but it really hasnt been. i guess youll never know until you try...

Lessons & tips: just go for it. no matter how hard it seems.

and obviously its not going to be as easy for everyone but i believe that if you have genuine motivation and true support from loving, caring people then it is possible. very possible.

Just try to imagine how much better you can be in all aspects of your life without drugs!!!

Resources: mostly the people in my life. if you dont have supportive people then try to find some. because i know from personal experience that alot of your genuine (anti-drug) friends slowly drop away when you get into drugs.

I also know from experience that most of them will still be there waiting if you need them..
