stop smoking weed

This is so hard for me and my husband thinks it should be so easy. So I just smoke when he’s not home, which is during the day, which makes my energy plummet and the tendency to procrastinate rise. I hate this feeling. Why can’t I remember how this feels whenever I think it’s a good idea to smoke?
My damn boss and everyone at work smokes, together sometimes, after work. i just feel left out when I think of how much fun they’re having after I go home. I want to be rid of this. I want my energy back. I definitely do not want to do things behind my husband’s back. I want to hang out with people and not wonder when we will start smoking. i just can’t relax and enjoy myself socially almost period. I wish I could go out and not drink and not smoke and not be tired and just be enjoying people’s company and the atmosphere. That’s almost too perfect.
So frustrated….

who else has been turning to alcohol to fill that void left by pot?

I made it 3 days without smoking and then the superbowl happened and I drank sooooo much, and then I knew my friend had some pot and I just needed to have some. Especially since the Bears lost :( But I have newfound strength. I don’t need it. Yesterday I didn’t even think about it. This feels like progress!

I agree with bebe. Reading all the posts is very helpful. However, the whole smoking once in a while thing might be good (for me) if I hadn’t smoked in a long time. Because I have done that before and the next day I want it. I can go a month without doing it and then as soon as I smoke a little, I want it the next day, and the next..

Well one day weed free. Helped that I had 2 glasses of wine. I guess that’s better than weed? Ha ha. It is better than eating a lot after smoking. And staring at the computer and not getting anything done. I hate that weed feels so good for the first ten or twenty minutes and then that awful, tired lethargic feeling sets in where you have no motivation to do anything. i don’t want that in my life. Of course I would like to just be a social smoker. But that will come only after I have given it up for a long time, and the habitual use pattern gets completely out of my system. only then would it be ok to smoke here and there… sigh.

I can’t buy anymore. I just smoked the very last. This will be it. Tomorrow I will be sober all day.
YIKES!

I had a bud in the cabinet and I gave in and smoked it. Husband was visibly upset. I felt better having had a very long day. I really hope I find the strength to just give this up. It is so damn tempting.
I will keep logging, though.

I have smoked pot for 9 years, heavily for the past 7 years. There
were times when I would smoke all day, every day. He has never really approved of the habit ever since we met, so it’s no surpirse. But we can’t relate to each other when I’m high. It’s gotten to the point where I hide it from him, doing it during the day and therefore being so tired and unproductive all day long. It really screws everything up.
I want more energy so badly. I drink so much coffee and the caffeine buzz lasts but minutes. I have an extremely busy life with little time for relaxation. I just want to talk to other people about this and hopefully that will help me keep on track.
