F*GM said it all. I am 60 and was lucky enough to not like the way it made me feel when I was younger. I think I tried it twice (if that). You don't need to feel uforic to live. The same issues are going to be there when you stop. Start facing them!

Hi Hun,

I think it may be good for you to go see a doctor and tell them about whats going on with you. I know what you're going through and I realize it's tough but yoneed to do something about it NOW while you still can before you go and possibly ruin your life. You're still in school and right now thats what you should be concentrating on not d***s. is there a reason you're smoking, have you got problems you want to talk about? Things that are going on at home or things that have hurt you? I am so very scared for you because I started just like you. not as young , matbe a lttle older and the things it can lead to are so scary hun. I wish I could take it all back. I had so much potential but I threw it all away and sometimes you can never get it back. the damage is done.
You're still young and you still have a chance to get back on track hun without damaging you're future..

I'm here for you. Let me try and help you. we'll do it together. Take it a day at a time. There is no real secret just take it day by day. Keep motivated. concentrate on physical activity or something you like when going through withdrawels. Just make yourself do something to get rid of those urges.

Take care and remember You're the only one that can really take care of you. You call the shots. You're worth it hun. Learn to love yourself... xo

I think the first reply was a little harsh but is in essense true.

There is no physical addiction to marijuana so it all comes down to willpower and motivation which many pot smokers find themselves lacking esspecially if they are a long term user.

You mentioned you wanted to get your life back on track and that is a big motivator but you need to hone it. What do you REALLY want? Be specific, create a goal and go for it .. it does not need to be big either, small goals each one getting you somewhere and making the u se of drugs less important helps.

Heck, write em down on a bit of paper and carry them with you and remembwer the good things that will come.

In the end you know what motivates you and you gotta make the big decisions but there is no magic pill just your zest for life which you can cultivate yourself if the desire is there.

So be positive and get out there and do soemthing ... next time you feel like smoking et up and go for a run, dont think about it just do it! (i sound like a Nike ad ) ... action will overcome also.
