So it is November 18, 2010, or the first day in over a year and a half I went without smoking. 5 years ago I started highschool, just a kid with barely any knowlege of how the world worked, it was a whole new world to me, and this new world introduced me to the icky sticky green stuff. It started off a couple times every now and then, then every weekend, then during the week, then everyday, then multiple times a day. and for about the last 2-1.5 years I have been smoking heavily multiple times a day, every day. Yesterday i started my morning off with 3 bong rips, liek always, then got ready to go to class, took one more rip before i left and drove to school. i sat in my communications class, dazed, staring at my desktop background like it was a pair of boobs. i look around with my red eyes and all i see if people working, on what? who the hell knows. my teacher is talking to me, im listening but i cant hear a word shes saying. and then it hit me. weed is clouding my mind to the point i cant think straight anymore, i need to quit. Today i woke up, grabbed my isopropanol and cleaned my bong and pipe till they were clear again. i wrapped them up in plastic bags and told my friends i was selling glass. it felt great. Now it is evening and the effects of not smoking are finally starting to hit me. it hasnt been 24 hours yet and already i feel anxious, nervous, cold, all the things i joint would cure. I'm not giving in that easy though, which is why i turned to GC. I have lurked and posted some, on these forums for a couple years know, this site really helped me learn about cannabis and gave me alot of good laughs along the way. So i figured I would document my quitting process for 30 days. each day i will post my "want to smoke level"(WTSL) from 1-10 and i will put down how i felt during the day and how easy or hard it actually is. i hope this helps anyone else trying to quit, and dont think i have anything against the green stuff! i dont regret any minute of my smoking years, but now it is time for change. DAY 1: WTSL = 13 feelin like theres an emotional nuke going off in my head. but it will get better. on the up side, less than 24 hours later and im already feeling the haze being lifted
haha go for it dude!! ive been attempting that for awhile now too. but in my case i just gotta stop spending all my money lol.
DAY 2 WTSL = 9 So for the last 4 hours or so I've been contemplating my whole descision damn I want some weed. I gotta start doing some more things, just sitting here reading a WEED forum isnt helping my cause. Thanks for the Support, its actually harder than i thought it was gunna be and im only 2 days in
Relapsed. I lasted 3 days and 2 nights without smoking weed, i still have another g to smoke then im gunna try again. ahahhahahahah come on man.
usually on the weekdays, i never smoke, because i always have to get shit down. hw, papers, working out, eating right, etc. if i smoke before i finish my shit, i feel unproductive and lazy. but then comes the weekend....fuck yes.
So a while back i tried quitting, and relapsed after like 2 days, you can see that at the beginning, now ive found some more motivation (girl, school, money) and am proud to say im on my tenth day being weed free. it was hard up until about now but i can feel it getting easier. my conversations are more intelligent, my mind can see things clearly again, although i fucked up this semester of college to smoke weed, im gunna try and do the best i can to do correspondants to get my marks back where they once were, i wake up and have motivation to do other things than rip my bong Thanks grasscity for all the fun times and laughs ive had readin storys on this site, and thanks weed for opening my mind to new apsects of the world and giving me a shit ton of good times over the last 5 years, ill never forget or regret you.
Right on man. Good for you. I love herb though and it doesn't make me feel cloudy or drain my finances but if you've found that quitting bettered you then more power to you.
