ok so for the first time in my life.. im actually seriously considering quitting.. i realise this is a group for those who are serious about quitting and not ones (like me) who are undecided.. but id still like some help from you guys.. to me.. the main reason i really want to quit is because of how crazy i get when i run out of weed.. i spend hours trying to scrape any crumbs i can off my bedroom floor.. i steal weed from my friends when theyre out.. i abuse other much more harmful serious drugs as a result of having no weed just to get me through til i get some.. i realise this is NOT normal.. but its very hard to quit when for me the biggest problems i have with weed is when im not smoking:/.. when i am smoking.. i dont get stoned anymore it basically has no affect and im just normal.. at the most a little relaxed.. i just dread running out.. im either spending all my time smoking.. or all my time looking/waiting to get weed.. i havent smoked in a week now.. and its been hell as usual.. but im meant to be getting some later.. i can already feel relief just from knowing i wont have to go to bed again without it.. but then i think what happens when i run out next time?! what then? i go through this vicious cycle all over again:/.. every one i know.. even people who have been smoking since before i was born.. says they have never seen anyone rely on weed like me.. im just so confused.. any advice would be helpful

" Well everything you said i have done too, like scraping crumbs off the floor, so you are not abnormal, you are just an addict so it means that you can't smoke weed casually, it's either all or nothing for you.

The only advice I have is to just stop and try to go to NA meetings to keep it up. Of course I can't talk because I'm still smoking, but I hope you quit now, you've already gotten a week head start. "

" I was the exact same way...All of my friends told me that they have never seen someone smoke like me. Scraping Resin from my bowl, picking weed off of the floor in my jeep...I am 2 months clean...N.A. is the way to go...you are already on the right track. Realizing you have a problem, and asking for help because you know you can't do it on your own...If you need any advice on quitting or just need to talk, I am here!!! "

" Marijuan anonymous has online meetings, literature, on land meetings growing all over the world. It has made all the difference for me. Abstinance from our drug of choice (marijuana or whatever else seems to be able to take the edge off or whatever) is not all that is required in order to recover from being a drug addict. A spiritual awakening as the rusult of taking the 12 steps and living life one day at a time and having some spirituality and accountability to others who understand is what I want in recovery. www.ma-online.org Please check out the 12 questions to determind if marijuana is a problem in your life.

http://www.ma-online.org/newcomer....

Ask yourself these twelve questions to determine whether marijuana is a problem in your life
1. Has smoking pot stopped being fun?
2. Do you ever get high alone?
3. Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana?
4. Do you find that your friends are determined by your marijuana use?
5. Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your problems?
6. Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings?
7. Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world?
8. Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking?
9. Has your use of marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation?
10. When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more?
11. Do you plan your life around your marijuana use?
12. Have friends or relatives ever complained that your pot smoking is damaging your relationship with them?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions,
you may have a problem with pot. "

" i am new to this group, but I am with you. . .I used to be that way (I have been clean/sober for 2 months). I smoked for 8 years and it started making me paranoid and that is what made me stop.
