How Do I Stop Smoking Weed: First Steps

Oct. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- What I mean by this is that you have to go beyond thinking about ways to stop smoking.  You need to stop figuring that one day you should stop smoking weed.  You need to stop saying to yourself that you think you won’t buy any more weed, just as soon as you finish your current bag.  You need to make a firm commitment, mark a day down on a calendar, and actually do it.

For me, this occurred one summer night, smoking a nice bowl out on a friend’s porch.  He used to be a good smoking buddy, but now was just a regular buddy because he had quit about a year ago.  He was telling me about his experiences with the process, and how it had affected his life.  he talked about it improving his relationships with other people, how he had more time to actually do things instead of smoking weed, and all the money it had saved him.  Of course, he was quite jealous watching me blaze right in front of him, but he knew that it was worth it not to.

This was right after I graduated college, and was going to drive cross country and start a new in a few days.  I figured it was as good a time as ever to quit smoking marijuana.  So, I asked him, “how do I stop smoking weed?”  we sat out there for a few hours (and a few more bowls) before wrapping up.

The point is, by the end of our talk I had gotten it.  I understood that, even though I did not want to, quitting marijuana was something I had to do.  It would not be fun at first, but in the end my quality of life would be better for it.  I had a reason, a date, and the right amount of willpower.  I had figured out my answer to, “how do I stop smoking weed.”

What’s your answer?
