How hard are tolerance breaks for you?

[ninety]

as the title says I was wondering how hard tbreaks were for you, ive been a pretty heavy smoker for like half a year now and i wanted to take a two week tol break, and well ive made it two days and im already wanting to smoke again, the main reason being i dont want to go to fuckin school tomorow and my buddy just called me up asking to blaze before we go which sounds like the best idea ever but then i just rememberd im trying to chill with my smoking, are tol breaks really worth it???

[bervillefreak]

yeah dude i took a week long break and ive been soarin

[Toobz]

After a year and a half of smoking like a chimney I decided to take a break and honestly it was the best idea. I cut down to smoking to 1 time a week for a couple weeks and when I started up again I found myself appreciating it a lot more. and my tolerance to be set back quite a bit.

howd you go about doing it, did you just stop cold turkey or did you cut back gradually like go two days then go for four days and then a week?

Day number 8 for me on my t break but im going for a month long break. for the first week it is tempting beacuse everyone keeps askin to tok, that will eventually stop. IN the end it is worth it and you will be much happier. gives you a lot of time to think about what your gonna do to end the t-break

Just remember that by taking the break your high will be much more enjoyable,and try to make your breaks at least 3 weeks long. Trust me, its far better than two weeks. On february 20 I am going to stop smoking until 4-20 and then on 4-20 I'm going to see if I can hotbox my entire house with like 7 friends of mine.

I havent smoked since new years, and i blazed a blunt with 2 other friends today.....my my how retarded i got . 23 days of no smoking wasnt too hard actually, i started working out everyday (which was why i wanted to take a break).

Yep, just broke a recent 3 week break. Man, I was giggling like a school-girl again...

Well, I'm back on that break til March 12th, when I hit Amsterdam. Two weeks there of high quality hash and my girl is a great way to get back in the game.

But, nah...they aren't too tough. The first couple of days suck. Getting to bed and all...after that, its not so bad.

Hit the gym, play some video games, go for a hike, do anything to keep your mind of being bored and wanting to toke.

Its all mental, man.

Trust me dude it's hard but in the end it's worth it. I took a 3 week break after smoking every day for a year and damn did I get fried when I smoked for the first time I smoked after the break was over. It was one of the best highs I have ever had.

I am 1 day away from the end of my 2 week tolerence break
tomorrow i get paid, and then its time to start smoking again

and i did stop cold turkey, i try and take a 2 weeker every month
but when i am not on a break, i roast every day

The only way they work is when you get rid of your stash of weed (I smoked about 1/4 in two days to get rid of my stash) and tell all of your smoking friends that you are taking a break for whatever reason and tell them to support you. If they really are your friends they should support your decision and will help by not tempting you by calling you up to blaze or anything.

Atleast those are the only ways they work for me. If you can have a bag of bud and have your friends call you up looking to blaze and go a couple weeks without smoking more power to you. I just would rather take away all chances of smoke and not set myself up for failure.

i smoked everyday for about 4 years (with maybe like a 1-3 day break every now and then from droughts or lack of money)....at the end of last semester i took a motnh long T-break and here's how it went down

cold turkey....the first three days or so i was craving hardcore...everything i thought about i was just like i wish i was high...i even smoked my first ciggarette cuz i wanted to smoke something so badly...

after thise first few days you kind of get used to the unfulfilled craving and kinda learn to deal with it but it still sucks

after that you start to realize how fuckin clear your head is...you can think more fluently and you start to actually feel kinda good...self esteem rises (and although you may not have low self esteem to begin with - i didnt - you still feel a noticeable rise in your mood)...it helped a lot during finals...

then i started going through a weird phase i like to call "sober enlightenment"....this was like the 20 day mark...and being sober actually felt really good...i found that i could still enjoy everything to the fullest and possibly even more...i started being MUCH more productive...within that month i brought up one of my grades that i really needed, got a great part-time job, and got a new band together...i was just a lot more motivated..starting eating healthier (though i have always eaten healthy) and going to the gym....i was much more optimistic as well...and trust me i'm a pretty high spirited guy to begin with....it's hard to explain this whole phase but it really felt great

at like 25 days, very close to the end i started thinking about a sober life...an honest sober life...i dont think it would have ever crossed my mind before but the way i felt was so unexpectedly good i just wanted it to stay...

but as the days got closer to the end of the month i just started getting real excited...i knew i was going to be so high (i had a gram of Kali Mist waiting for me)...and right when i got back from my last final i blazed a joint to my dome and got SOOO fucking lifted...i'm talkin miles high here

during all of winter break i was back to the normal blazing anywhere from 5-10 times a day with my close friends (i was in Flordia for a bit too at my boy's apartment which was straight as hell)...and now im back at school and on another T-break! yup...this ones for two months (until spring break)...i kinda just got passed the crave phase...but going through it all the first time is making this one infinitely easier


reflecting back on it I realized that smoking every day as much as i did, although it felt great, was kind of a waste.........its like the whole "too much of a good thing"...after a while when you smoke as much a i had, as i'm sure some of you do, your high shows signs of definte weakening....and a T-break is the best cure to restore your high....getting high after the T-break was like going back to the early days and it felt so good, rejuvinating even


in the end it is DEFINITELY worth it...the hardest part is getting started


i forgot to mention i have 3 roomates who smoke just as much as i do (did), and were always blazing around me and i found it interesting htat whenever they were actually blazing i thought it was easier to say no to it..like if there was actual bud in front of me i could say no, but there were times in those first days that merely thinking about it would kill me....anyway, that was my experience with it and i actually grew a lot from it...i continue to eat healthy (not crazy healthy but like salads for lunch, lots of water throughout the day, fruit with meals, wheat breads instead of white ones, and no eating after around 10 at night) and work out on a regular basis


but trust me, i still love MJ can't wait till spring break but in the meantime i'm not too bummed

Personally I take tolerance breaks pretty well. There are times when I just wanna blaze though. But when your not blazed you find other ways to have fun and enjoy yourself. Which is good I think because if an herb completely ran my life, I wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do. But to stay on topic, tolerance breaks are definitly worth it. Theres no point finishing that 8th the same night you buy it just to get a little baked. At least thats how I see it anyway.

It's easier for me to pass up sex than herb...

The first week is hard for me. Last t break I took was a 3 month period. After my first week though I kinda forget what it feels like to be high anyways. lol
