Quiting weed for a while

[djmarkpaul]

In a quest to get back into shape I've decided that part of a good diet plan would be to give up the mary jane for a while.

Now this is no easy task for me. Pot is basically the only drug I use rather casually...I don't drink, cigarette's I never buy and quitting those will be easy, don't really do e anymore, about the only drugs I do are psycodelics and those I usually plan the trip carefully.

So I was wondering if any of you have had taken a break and consider yourself a chron. I usually smoke 1 to 3 joints a day about 4 times a week.

Today was my first day and it was shitty, I had like 3 buddies come over all offering to blaze me up, and I turned it down. I'm still tempted but I'm on a mission to become ninja, so it's day 1 of 133 and I want to know if you've ever done this sort of thing what worked for you.

I just want to prove to myself that I don't need this shit, because I don't, it's purely a desire.

Thoughts?

good on you
but a more balanced lifestyle does not neccesarily mean no chron.



just stop being such a lazy ass

i say try to cut it down to the point where its not so much a habit anymore. Make it a social / entertainment activity. And add a healthy diet along with physical activity to your day to day life style. It worked for one of my pot head buddies. All he needed was a lil motivation.

Good luck with that :D

good idea man, i've been drinking smoking and smoking ALL summer and beyond... but aug 31st.. the patch is going on, and i know i can do it cuz i've done it before .... i smoke alot of pot recently... but once i quit smoking it'll be easy, drinking well be the hardest but its all about staying healthy... by november i'll be a machine...just like i was last june...

quitting smoking pot is by far the best cuz it completely interrupts what u eat and what u accomplish in that day..

thats prolly the hardest part, is when you get offered the thing u wanna cut back on. but since u've refused it, i'm pretty sure u can do it. i dont like smoking weed anymore, been offered so many times but meh...i'm doin the same thing u are, but with E, last time i pop'd was apex, and i've been offered so many times from my friends to do it, but i've refused. its fun to party sober too, looking at all the fucked up ppl dance is rather entertaining, lolz...also cutting back on drinking, if i drink..it wont be much(i hope..hah)

Hey man Good for you!

I think the best thing you could do is to remember why you are taking a break from the sweet sweet crizon. I used to smoke 3 times everyday and now I barely smoke at all.( Like 1 toke every 2 to 3 weeks) I can even have people smoke it in front of me and I don't feend it. Just keep trying and remember everyday without it makes it easier in the long run!

Like most other people that posted, i used to smoke at least 4 or 5 times a day for a couple of years. I tried to quit about 2 or 3 times with no success, finally i just decided that i would just take a long break instead. When i was on my break i noticed how i had so much more energy and motivation, generally i felt 100% more healthy.
I also noticed that my performance in snowboarding and other sports had risen.
So after my break was over i decided that i basically had no reason to smoke pot everyday, and like that i stopped being chronic. Now i smoke pot maybe once or twice a week, mainly when im out with buddies or at a party. Like G-Style said, just keep trying to remember why you took a break in the first place and it should make things alot easier.

if you can get your shit done then smoke up it's all good. but if its starting to interfere with your daily chores because it's making you lazy then you never need it.
