addicted to weed?

[cheechit]

well basicly ive been smoking weed since i was 13 i am now 16 i started mostly because of anxiety i was very shy when it came to talking to people or even being around people and i had alot of problems in school i was never really doing much work in school mostly getting into trouble and getting suspended.. about half through grade 8 i just stopped going to school because the anxiety was just to much i pretty much stayed in my house for i think it was 7 months smoking weed not alot maybe like 3 grams a week but since i wasnt going to school my parents were gettin angry trying to get me to go but i couldnt so they put me in a group home when i was put into a groupe home it was 2 weeks before my 14th birthday.. i hated it so much i wanted to die so while i was there i continued to smoke weed pretty much the same amount maybe 5 grams a week but it was almost impossible to get it when i was in there because i was only aloud out in the community for 15 minutes a day! so i sarted running away from there probably the worst mistake of my life because they called the cops and when they found me i had weed on me and i was charged.. so to make a long story short i spent 3 months in a detention centre got out put back into a group home charged again but this time i was moved to a different group home instead of a detention centre i spent almost 2 years in that group home and i smoked about 2 grams a day while i was in there basicly because i had the money to and it made me feel better about myself so i was smokin 2 grams a day for a year or so and i am now finally out (got out about 4 months ago :) ) and ever since ive been out ive still been smokin about a gram a day sometimes ill go without smokin anyfor 2 days and i have extreme loss of extreme loss of apetite, very angry, loneliness and feeling like i don't belong anywhere is this withdrawals? im sorry if ive posted to much but i needed to get this out there isnt very much people i can talk to about this.. and for the people who dont no wut a group home is it is like a jail except it is ina house and there is like 7 kids in there and 4 adults watching ur every movement

A quick answer to your first post - That's not withdrawal. Withdrawal is much worse. You'll feel all of that, then get sick. Migrains, muscle pains, all that fun stuff.

You need to stop. I'm being a hypocrite here, and I admit it freely. A gram a day is way excessive though. Smoking that much means you have problems, which are shown through all the places you've been put.

There is no easy way to quit. It'll be hard, and most people fail. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try. The first three days of withdrawal are the worst. The first time you get a bad headache from not smoking, that's your first day. After that third day, you've got it much easier.

You'll be amazed how much better you'll feel once all the withdrawal symptoms have passed. And think, only three days to fix your life. Three days! And think how much money you'll save. Take up something good for you, like constructing tables or chairs or something. Just be careful with the power tools. :)


Your best chance, quit. Good luck.
