Re: I'm quitting....

good luck Jib. I quit smoking about 5 yrs ago. Just try to keep busy for about a month or 2 and you should be alright. You could start djing more or take a class at your local college.

Re: I'm quitting....

have a perfectly good girlfriend leave you because of it, and then join the Air Force. Thats how I quit. But for real man I'm proud of you bro. Best thing I can say is stay busy. Do something to where you are tired as hell by the end of the day. and do your best to sever ties for the time being or at least some how make it less accessible to yourself. reading is a good start. either way good luck man.

Re: I'm quitting....

I have to say that I recently did the exact same thing. Quit smoking cold turkey. I have been smoking every day for the last 12 years and until the last 4 weeks the longest I'd gone without smoking was three days. It's really not that difficult and to be honest I think people who say that it is are kind of being over dramatic. It does suck, for sure, but you can still have a few beers and see DJs and hit on girls and all of that. You lose weight (I'm pretty thin so I only lost 5 lbs but I know people who were heftier who lost more) and find that you're much more stable from a mood perspective-the last thing I noticed was irratibility. Playing some sort of sport(not "running" or "lifting" but an actual sport) has been a tremendously helpful piece of the regimen and I'd stress finding some sport you can play with your preexisting injury rather than finding things you can't.

Good luck amigo and enjoy the enhanced productivity that accompanies the switch

P.S. I find that telling myself there will always be a few occaisions where I'll get high in the future (after a considerable period of weening) helps take the edge off as well.

Re: I'm quitting....

Here's the recipe, I hope this helps you too, It did help me get clean, and feel a lot better, start going to a Sauna bath, or something similar, do this regularly, this is great for removing all the toxins that you still have in your body, then stick with a low calorie and low fat diet, cut the alcohol and coffee as much as you can and drink lot's of water and tea, this is a general cleansing recipe, also try to keep your mind busy, and try to break off your routines as much as possible.

Re: I'm quitting....

I quit because i'm practicing a more healthy lifestyle and smoking blunts and blazing bongs just arn't very complementing to that. I smoked weed for about 4 years (ages 16 - 20) during that time i've smoked the best of the best and the worst of the worst, i've smoked everyday for over a year, basically i've been there done that. I quit a few months ago and it wasn't hard at all, now i just blow weed money on clothes and other things, so instead of having that druggy stoner look, i look fresh as hell and am much better with the ladies. Weed was turning all my friends into fuckups, and i was trying to "step my game up", so in order to actually do that i had to quit smoking. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with blazing after a long day and all, but I just didn't want to be 26+ living in my moms basement, smoking weed, fucking around on the internet all day, working a shitty job, etc. etc. Contrary to what "studies" may say, weed turns you into a dumbass.

Re: I'm quitting....

I was quite the pot head for 5 years then I had to quit for random drug tests. After the first week or two you don't even notice it. Just exercise a lot and don't hang out where people are smoking for a while. However, after quitting I have smoked every once and a while and the high sucks... Full of paranoia...and I get all spun out. Thats just my experience though.

haha, so true. I maybe smoke once a year or so, whenever my wife goes away to visit her sisters. Its not half of what it used to be, sometimes I miss that ear to ear shit eating grin high, but I know I'm the better for it now. (the music still sounds just as good though).

Re: I'm quitting....

the key to quitting smoking is exposure. If your not exposed to it, you don't need it. Sooner or later though your gonna need some will power
