At a certain point I had to face the facts. It was time for me to quit smoking weed. The problem was that I knew that I wasn’t a drug addict. That much was clear. I just had a marijuana problem. But, I still didn’t know how to quit weed on my own. Eventually, I realized that I couldn’t quit on my own. But, I also learned that that was okay because there were lots of people around to help me if I would only open my mind.
Most of the people I talk to who want to give up weed don’t actually ask me how to do it. Most of them just tell me that are going to quit. And, when I see them a few months later, I am never shocked to hear that they are still smoking weed. They tried and they tried. But, for whatever reason, they always go back to smoking pot. And there is always a reason.
See, they say, I could quit smoking weed, and I will, but last week I had a fight with my girl (or whatever excuse) and I just needed to get high one more time. Ya know, just for my nerves. And then they pledge to quit marijuana once again. And again they have to no plan. They just think that they can just decide to give up weed and then they’ll just never smoke again. As if it works that way.
Most people have to try to quit smoking pot about 5 or 6 times on their own before they become willing to listen. If this is your first attempt to stop using cannabis then you probably won’t listen to me either. You’ll spend the next 6 months trying to quit only to smoke again. You’ll blame it on an excuse or say you wanted one last time. Whatever. You just won’t stop smoking. It will take you another 6 months to a year before you find yourself more miserable than ever and you finally become willing to listen. If that’s where you are, I understand. I was there once myself. I suggest you bookmark this site so that you can come back to it in a little while when you get more serious about quitting marijuana. No hard feelings I promise!
If you’re already at the point where you are serious about learning how to quit smoking weed then I think you are finally ready to listen. And, folks, that’s the whole game. In order to be successful, not just in giving up pot but in life in general, you need to open your mind and listen to people who have already done what you are trying to do. By doing this one simple thing, opening your mind you can begin to learn how to actually get somewhere in life and stop just spinning your wheels.
Now, that’s really the only thing that separates the winners from the losers. The losers simply are too bullheaded to listen to the people that have been where they’ve been.
Well, what if you are ready to stop smoking marijuana once and for all? Then you are finally ready to listen! The first thing that you need to do is educate yourself. The best place for this is the internet where there are thousands of people like me who are sharing the information that you need. Take this website, for instance, all I do here is tell you how I quit smoking weed. If you want to take my advice and open your mind, that is up to you. It’s your life! It’s all up to you!
For me, once I was willing to consider ideas that were once unthinkable. Like maybe a treatment center, rehab or therapy program could help me — they’re really not as expensive as you think even if you don’t have insurance — I was ready to take step one. Now, you may be thinking that rehab is not for you. Don’t worry it’s not the only way to quit smoking weed, however you NEED to listen to the free information that a lot of these rehab websites do offer about quitting. Just because you are determined to avoid something does not mean that you should shoot the messenger. These people know a thing or two about quitting marijuana because they have actually helped thousands of people to quit smoking weed. Imagine that!
I know that this post is turning into a rant, and I am sorry. Sometimes I just get so frustrated that people refuse to accept help and keep trying to “do it own their own” all the way to jail. Do not become a statistic! The sooner you realize that not smoking marijuana is actually the secret to realizing your potential, the sooner you can actually begin to achieve that potential.
