HELP I can't quit
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
My secret is that I smoke pot everyday...I have my friends fooled, my co-workers are clueless, and my parents would never guess....but it's true....and I totally can't quit. Everyday I tell myself that I will not smoke today, today is the day that I am smoke free....I stand in the shower every morning and chant the mantra...I will not smoke today....but, inevitably I fail. I'm fine until the evening and then I just want to "relax" and not have to think....My live-in boyfriend is also a pot head, but has no interest in quiting (but is supportive of my decision to quit). I'm on anti-depressants and other meds...so, quitting is a must....plus I work in an environment that does random drug testing...PLEASE, if there is anyone out there that can give me some advice....I would totally appreciate it!

" My advice is: Don't think about it as "I'm quitting forever." That's too scary. Think to yourself in the morning "I'm not going to smoke this hour." then a little later one hour turns in to two or three or 24....and so on.
I wish you lots of luck. Just do it a little at a time. This website helps a ton. Hope to hear from you sometime. "

" I know what it is like to be a secret pothead. I mean I did let certain people know... my dealer, my other pothead friends, some people at a job I had knew because we'd share weed openly there (it was a bar). I haven't smoked pot or drank or used drugs in over 3 years because I turned my will and my life over to the care of a loving higher power I call God, I use the 12 steps of Marijuana anonymous and AA, I have a sponsor, I go to meetings, and I have contact with others in recovery to keep me accountable and I have contact with God as I understand God. This is how I have stayed clean and sober one day at a time. I know what it is like to wish I could stop and know I should stop and not be able to, and have this go on for years and years. The 12 steps for a group of people who I can relate to help me. I started at www.ma-online.org for meetings. "
