Beating Addcition to Weed And Love of Highs.. Posted: 02-04-07 10:49am
I have been smoking marijuana atleast 3
joints a day ever since I began smoking in
1998. I have only managed to quit it for
a period of 6 months under the pretense of
a new beginning in canada.
I'm 27 years old now, I have reduced my
progress in career and family etc by 50%
in the last 7 years. Well, in the
beginning it was great to smoke a joint
and get high nd chill out. The problem
for me is that the more stressed out I
feel the more weed I smoke. Even if I
have to borrow the money against my wishes
from someone I love. I feel like the i'm
hooked on crack or cocaine. Exactly, it
was weed and as everyone says it not
harmless. In my case it was for fun and
moments of boredom but very quickly its
the only thing you think of when your
bored or not feeling so great
I am so pissed with my self I could go to
war in iraq if someone gave me the
chance.I am gettin cheap with my friends
cause I sometimes by weed on credit and
guys that I usually wouldnt even talk are
thinking bad of me cause I smoke so much
weed all the time.I aint so bad, I am a
tough and talented guy who feels like a
slave to this freaking plant.I need to
getaway from here....Any ideas

Well, you're not alone.
You've got to hit a dead end until you
becoming willing to try anything to stop.
And that's when you are open enough to
understand that your spirit is calling out
for something more.
Addiction is primarily a spiritual and
emotional disorder. We cling to highs
because it's the only thing that feels
good, and we're not ready to take life for
what it is. Sometimes, the weather's just
crappy. It's not all sunshine. So...
If you're ready check our ma, marijuana
anonymous. They'll teach you how to
start over and put the stuff behind you.
It's one day at a time. Good luck! And
give an update.

The problem for most people who use any
substance to escape is that they use it to
mask feeelings rather than looking deeper
into the reasons why we suffer. I used
Cannabis to cure addiction...And Im cured.
Anything used for the wrong reason can
create dependency. The Flower of thr
cannabis plant has been used for spiritual
reasons for thousands of years. Perhaps if
we begin to educate ourselves first before
w etry something we might benefit from
these mediums to enlightenment. It you are
getting "high" on THC and do not know you
are in a hightened state of awareness you
probably weren't able to use that time
constructively. I use it to focus on
Guitar, writing, really deep movies ect.
to excersise my brain. The lack of our
brains use IS the reason behind most
addiction. WE are being dumbed down by
technology IE. Media's or Mediums (Tools)
which lessen our ablity to understand out
emotions. I have written extensively on
the subject and have expanded my ability
to think and reason logic, something that
Society is stripping away from the
individual.. I will never stop smoking it
due to its power to keep me this side of
the matrix of society. wayland Porter

Hey gavin,
First of all id like to say you have
noticed that u have got an addiction and
that is the first step of the process is
identifying and accepting that yes i do
have an addiction and yes i do want to
stop. I think going to a drug counsellor
would be a good idea, as they can give u
strategies to put in place to help you
beat the addiction. As for the
physcological side of the feelings it may
be best to consult a physcologist or even
your general practioner to see what they
can do to make u feel like ur addiction
isnt generally based on your feelings and
what not,
All the best mate hope it goes well and
congratulations on admitting your
addiction

I agree...under all of the layers of
addiction are feelings and behaviors that
become repetitive and can be
investigated...and changed!

Yes, Gavin. And you don't have to do it
alone. The internal battle is yours, but
there are many who have walked the path
before you!

I too agree with the above posts and also
most that enjoy the highs are trying to
ascape reality somehow. Now what in your
life is stressing you out or really
deppressing you?
I am so pissed with my self I could go to
war in iraq if someone gave me the
chance.I am gettin cheap with my friends
cause I sometimes by weed on credit and
guys that I usually wouldnt even talk are
thinking bad of me cause I smoke so much
weed all the time.I aint so bad, I am a
