How do you stop?

[Mattyboy2]

I'm not a regular user. I've used a couple times, just to take away the pain but I wanna stop before I start ya know?

Recently I've been smoking weed but I know that it just leads on to bigger stuff, more dangerous stuff and I'm not sure I'm strong enough to stay away.
I just think that if I can make sure I stop now then I can save myself from it in the future.

So how do you?

It's more of a mind over matter. Though if you feel that you will turn to stronger and more dangerous drugs you should stop them all now while you are still ahead. My parents are involved in drugs and other addictive substances.What I have seen by their examples it is not a way to live. Living day by day spending all of your money living solely for the next fix. You become a fiend, stealing and doing anything you can just for your drug. Putting your friends by the way side betraying your parents. It's just not a good thing to involve yourself in.

What I would do is just stop now. There are ways to stop. If you have a fixation for hand to mouth you could eat suckers. Sugar and the hand to mouth fixation will be fulfilled. You may still have that desire, but in the long run if you stop now you are preventing a way of life that could end with your own death by using other drugs.

I hope this helps if you need someone to talk to I'm always here VM me anytime.

I assume you're talking about weed and nothing else? At least that's how I read it. Well if weed has a grip on you as strong as you make out then any other drug of any kind will completely consume you and everything around you so I'd quit now.

..........is this ur way of believing in the gateway theory? its not hard to not do drugs, and keep smoking weed. but if u wanna stop, then just stop buying and reject invitations from friends.

Whilst I don't think that weed leads to 'bigger stuff' if you don't want it to, it's not a good idea to become dependent on weed to take away pain / help depression. It's not good to become reliant on anything to help your body, so I won't advise you to seek legal medicinal drugs as I feel most of them do much more harm than cannabis anyway.

I think Ronnie's advice is good though.

The best thing you can do to help yourself is just to find people who have been in similar situations and talk to them. Communication, conversing and the sharing of consciousness is the best drug there is. It's not illegal, it won't harm you and the government haven't taken it away from us yet.

Get a grip on life. Go cold turkey, Imagine what will this lead you to, The persons who will be inexplicably offended incase they accidentally knew, and finally, reject any offers by friends. Weed is bad, especially if you're dependent on the short-term pleasures brought by it.

[The Dark Lord]

The best way is to seek professional advice. If not, why not reward yourself for every week you go without using, but make sure you tell a friend so you don't cheat

Well i decided on the cold turkey methos, some other people i know are encouraging me to stop as well as they used to do it.

So far its going well...but its only been a day lol

[INFOTECHPROXIMITY9]

you could not stop .... yourself my ideas are best..
Living day by day spending all of your money living solely for the next fix. You become a fiend, stealing and doing anything you can just for your drug. Putting your friends by the way side betraying your parents. It's just not a good thing to involve yourself in.

Meh this is a bit generalised. This is not the path that all people take.

[Mattyboy2]

I think I've done it..... Its been 9 days!

fair enough it's been a better week for me but i think even if things got bad i wouldn't have to drown my brain in shit. I'm confident that it's over, I know it's a lifetime thing and i CAN keep it.

[SWMG]

First of all try to avoid the ones you smoiked with or that gave to you so you are like tentation free and just be strong
