Hello,
my name is Alex and I am currently a sophomore in college. I started smoking weed two summers ago and ever since, I couldn’t stop. When it first started my brother and I would smoke around three times a day, when we’d wake up, before my parents came home from work and at night we would take “walks” all just to smoke weed. After summer when we went to school I wouldn’t smoke as much as I used to but the urge to smoke was still there and every weekend I came home that was the only thing I could think about with or without my brother. It has come to the point where I am no longer interested in smoking because it makes me socially awkward but I miss the feeling of getting high and being in my own mind. The last time I smoked was on November 15th because I am away at school but I have a want that when I get back home for winter break and school that’s all I will do. If anyone could give me tips on how to stay clean and to fight that urge to smoke it would be much appreciated. Thank you
Well, I’m in the same boat.
It’s good that you see and recognize your habits and location are tied together with those who are around you. Maybe get them in on your plan if you are the accountable to others type. I’m secretive so will quit alone.
Switch the habits with good ones and don’t buy any weed. When you are burning inside for a hit (does your bro know not to share) remember what it does to you…how you love to forget. Then get on a bike and ride for an hour listening to loud, ragey music and zone out. That’s what I’m doing. And I’ve been smoking all day, every day for months…
I just know that when I smoke I need more. Then more. Then eventually it doesn’t do anything but harm. Save your cash and brain for school and life.
It takes a lot of courage to admit a problem. We are all here for you. We’re all struggling with our demons. Together.
