And if you’ve come to this site because you want to know how stop smoking weed the best way possible, you’ve come to the right place. I’m glad you’re here and strongly suggest that you keep reading …
Because this is my real-life experience with battling the marijuana habit. The ups, the downs and how I learned to quit marijuana painlessly, without much difficulty.
Most of us know the different names for marijuana, but just in case you are new to it or are a parent who is concerned about the matter, I will list some of the more common terms associated to the drug.
Well here it goes, anytime you here these words, you’ll know what it’s about: Weed, grass, kind, bud, chronic, pot, blunt, joints, dime bag, cannabis, reefer, bong hit, skunk, blaze, green, narly bud, dank, hash, resin etc…
At first, smoking weed was just about having fun & getting high, there weren’t any reasons to stop smoking pot yet. I would have never thought that it could turn on me & nearly ruin my life ?
But it did, smoking weed turned on me in an ugly way & eventually forced me to seek marijuana recovery. I started having some really messed up experiences shortly after getting addicted to marijuana that I’ll share with you. Here it goes…
Anxiety & Paranoid Feelings When High
These are some of the reasons why I eventually needed to stop smoking weed. Most of the time, I felt real anxious and paranoid for no reason. Also, it felt like people looked down at me as if I were scum or something.
I tried to stay away from folks just to avoid the self-conscious thoughts. Eventually, smoking weed caused me to be very anti-social, which is very unusual for me.
The first time I got stoned, my arms and legs got all numb and started to tingle, it scared the friggin piss out of me! I can’t ever remember being that terrified.
Another bad one was trying to avoid talking to my dad when all he wanted to know was how I’m doin’. It really sucked because the poor guy probably thought that I didn’t want to talk to him.
I had these awkward thoughts about others and even friends, that they are losers and douche bags. I just kept noticing bad things about them and couldn’t explain why. One time, I wanted to deck my friend in the face just because of the way he smirked at me. How twisted is that?
I Had to Stop Smoking Weed !
Finally, I almost went broke from smoking every week because it was like 25 bucks a gram for the “kind bud” (which I had gotten so used to smoking). My grades in school took a dive and I almost lost my part-time job twice from forgetting to set the alarm.
I knew that I just had to stop smoking weed, but didn’t know how to actually quit cannabis without ever turning back to it.
That’s about when I fell into depression & began smoking cigarettes also. So now it turned into this weed vs cigarettes thing… To escape from it all, I would smoke more pot, which started the whole viscous cycle all over again.
One day, it just hit me like a ton of bricks, I remember thinking, “man I can’t stop smoking weed anymore, I’ll seriously risk losing everything good in life! So first I tried quitting marijuana on my own by shear willpower. Big mistake…
Trying to Stop Smoking Pot by Willpower Didn’t Work!
As far as how to stop smoking weed goes, you probably need to consider a well-known fact (wish I knew this from the start…). That is, willpower just does not work!
How do I know? Well… I made the mistake of trying to stop smoking pot on my own, only to realize that it actually made things worse. Later, I read that it can literally make you even more addicted to marijuana!!
Here’s where I learned all this…
“Will power is worse than useless in forming new habits. In reality, “will-power” is “won’t-power”. A person using will power struggles to break a bad habit. The harder the struggle, the deeper the habit hooks into the flesh”. (Dr. Maxwell Maltz, Psycho Cybernetics).
“according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little”. (New Scientist, Volume 136 issue #1845 31 October 1992, page 6)
