Weed/drug addicts

Anyone on here former drug addict who quit through training? Any advice to give to current drug addicts looking to change?

I'm sick of being a dropkick stoner.

The only days i go out is to buy more weed. My dealer is my best friend so i can't just cut him out of my life.
The only hope for me is to replace one addiction with the other (gym). An addict never changes.

What's your opinion about weed Veeky Forums?

Pic related is the sad reality for stoners, only difference between me and these guys is they have a couch, i can't afford one.

yeah dude i was on the beugs pretty hard, shit sucks as, quit eventually not by trying but because i couldn't get weed

take up something mentally stimulating

it's completely worth quitting though your life is on pause while you're stoned all the time, you forget how much brainpower you actually have

I smoked for 7 years, 5 years heavily with the (big) bong.

The first of the day is the best.. even better if you managed to not smoke 1 whole day, or did a nice jog in the morning.

Anyway, i quit because im 29 and i need to get my fucking life in order.
Weed makes you a lazy faggot, so i drink now. Alcohol gives me energy, i 'do' more. can even drink and work.

Anyway OP you are fucked, just kill yourself

Hey, I'm Joe! First off, visit reddit.com/r/leaves and read the wiki

Secondly, read this droginfo.com/pdf/guideuk.pdf

Thirdly, If you dont want to stop smoking, you have to do what I done and limit yourself.

Yeah sure, Usain Bolt and Michael Swellps smoke weed but they don't wake up in the morning and blaze, they get shit done and prioritise their day !!!

"Weed can be your best friend or your worst enemy" - JRE


I could go on for hours regarding rehabilitating oneself through self-control and determination. Ultimately life is what you make it, some people are born with D R I V E some people need to work at it like a muscle.

Thanks for the advice.

you're worse than op, the cones are pretty dire but alcohol as a coping method is a surefire recipe for disaster

cones just leave you smouldering

>My dealer is my best friend
clearly he's a dealer before a friend otherwise he wouldn't let you slip down this path.

i don't know man, i only smoke at night to have a good night's sleep, never during the day as i know it'd be a waste of a day and i wouldn't get anything done. it also motivates me to do stuff as i know i have a nice smoke in the evening to look forward to, without feeling like i'm distracting myself from life.
>The only hope for me is to replace one addiction with the other (gym)
that's a dramatic way of putting it, but essentially you need to find literally anything other than smoking weed to do during the day. gym is a good start. get up, have a coffee instead of a bong, have food, go to the gym, have some more food. the rest is up to you, but the main thing is starting your day right, to delay the smoking as much as possible.

atleast i make 2200 euro a month now doing odd jobs, saving some money.

Im not a heavy drinker, a little extra in the morning coffee, and a glass of three in the evening.

Life has been alot better since i stopped being a stoner.
Way more active
Decent job (no diploma etc)
having sex through Tinder 1-2 times a month
social life is 10 times better compared to the stoned age
its cheaper (i smoked alot)
i do sports again, i look better, feel better
dick increased 2 inches

>the stoned age
Heh

>dick increased 2 inches

If you haven't had a tolerance break in a while and never masturbate or got horny when sober, if you quit you'll notice your election is now throbbing w a power lvl you had forgotten was attainable

You're seriously no better than me.

>2200 euro a month now doing odd jobs, saving some money.

So you mow lawns and do other bullshit jobs that you drink at. At least when i had a full time job 2 months ago i didn't go to work stoned or half pissed. I didn't even lose my job because of drugs, the boss just chucked it all in and quit and moved town without telling anyone.

I'm looking to quit drugs, you are still on them.

You most likely are depressed and using weed to gicr your life some excitement. It's okay, at least you feel like you're doimg it too much. Addiction is where you smoke all day all nite and deny that you are dependent on it.

As far as using weed fo exercise, it is god tier. Just find a park you enhoy going to, like a trail around a lake, and smoke a j or a blunt prior, then walk around it. Thats LISS cardio, it burns a lot of fat. And it will feel like nothing since you're high and just enjoying the walk. Do that for a month, i bet you you will be able to quit easy

Probably right about him being a dealer, but he's the only one who wants to hang out even when there's no weed involved and that's friendship if you ask me.

Thanks for the advice I'll try cutting down to just nights and soon after just weekends until i don't smoke.

You might be right about the depressed part, I did lose my job (Boss quit and moved town so i was left with no work). I'll defiantly look into doing exercise with weed as a reward for when i have done something.

I feel you. Stop gradually. First just smoke after 7pm, then smoke every other day, then just smoke on weekends. It gets easier everyday.

Op similar situation, I just moved out of a flat and back home with my parents because weed mainly and other party drugs were mentally and physically deteriorating me. Flatmate is a best friend and dealer however the amount of times I told him I wanted to quit or had a problem he overlooked it, so I moved it and hang out with him less, I'm making serious progress at the gym and he is jealous of it trying to copy me, I'm 27 and too old to spend weekends just partying and getting fucked up, sure it's fun but time goes by so quickly.

There's nothing to compare the feeling of stopping, clear headed, confident, look better, girls find me more attractive, lose the loser stoner stigma, get a grip, get a life, you can still be friends with him but you need to do what YOU want because if your friend waned to quit and move on I'm sure he would do it in a heartbeat without you

I know what you mean, I don't want to lose him as a friend, so i think the biggest challenge for me will be hanging around him knowing he has weed or can get it and not smoking any. I'll try keeping him around while i quit be if he encourages me to smoke then i'll no choice but to end it. Like you said it's about what I want.

The one person I know that smokes regularly does it to numb himself because he hates life, and to try to get other people around to smoke with him as a buffer between himself and his family. He's an alright guy, I don't think he realizes that it's terminally pathetic though.

Had coke, benzo, weed, cigarette, mmo, fapping, and binge drinking addictions/problems. Got into Veeky Forums 3 years ago.

Replaced all the above with:

- Clean eating
- Lifting weights
- Cardio
- Combat sports
- Meditation

This shit is simple and works. It's not a meme. Just leave Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums altogether once you start to get your shit together as it's a bucket of crabs here but the advice once you sort through the shit is real.

If you're having alcohol in the morning you've just replaced one addiction with another

here's all the motivation you need
>weed causes gyno

smoked everyday for 10 years and im 6 months clean now

it just got to the point where it wasn't doing anything for me so i stopped

Lots of heroin addicts came back from Vietnam and didn't got back to their previous addiction. Would a change in location help you? You say your weed dealer is your best friend. What chance are your giving your self?

Change your environment or change your habits.

I quit because I wanted to quit tobacco but life is much better without drugs or vices. The natural state is without this. It sucks any joy out of your life over time.

Quit it and live the alt Chad lifestyle.

You have to decide how important it is for you to stop smoking. How far are you willing to go to make it happen.

Maybe you tried stopping but it didn't work.
>Delete your weed contacts
Maybe you found a way to restore phone contacts
>Change phone/SIM
Maybe you know someone who smokes and you started smoking again because you hung out
>Cut that person out of your life
Maybe you went back to that person
>Move elsewhere, relocate
Maybe you don't know how to deal with the mental/physical withdrawal symptoms
>See a specialist
Maybe you have no control of your weed addiction
>Move somewhere far from everything where there is no weed

Only 5% of people are willing to do whatever it takes.
I smoked up to 5g strong hash per day. Ruined my life, education and economy. I haven't smoked for 1½ years now.

Weed is good but only use it in moderation.

Quit 5 years ago. Not because of training. But because I realized I didnt know who I was as a person. My personality was affected by weed. I wanted to know who I was when I was sober. THC remains in system for a month, so 1 day of not smoking doesnt cut it.

After I quit I also started lifting

Your "best" friend would sell your ass to the cop if needed

Quitting weed is easy. Find something else to occupy your time and stop buying weed.

You need to commit to whatever the new thing is. Sounds like you're just lazy.

Hahaha you are a weak fag!!! All it takes is one or two days you pussy!!! Thats why you're the only addict lmao what a fucking cuck

moderation senpai.. if not you need to stop.

Someone needs to beat the shit out of you, no joke. I was addicted to heroin and crack for several years. THAT is an addiction. You need some major perspective change. Being addicted to weed is nothing more than you being a massive pussy. I don't care if you smoke, just get your ass up and go outside for a hike or run, then smoke. Keep doing this and eventually you'll find yourself replacing good habits with bad. There is barely any withdrawal from pot. A little anxiety and trouble sleeping but nothing a 10 mile hike in the woods won't cure after a week of progress. Good luck user. I hope you find the strength to change I really do. There is nothing wrong with a daily smoke, just make sure to be productive first.

OP, realistically how many bowls do you smoke a day?
If I hit the bong three times in an evening I consider myself going hard.

kratom

>smokes weed and gets addicted

lmao dude. I was deep in coke, speed, ritalin addiction and quit. Get up your lazy ass and go workout

oil master race.

t habitual since 16, 22 now

What is it like to not have self control? I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm genuinely curious. I smoke and drink, legally, and in moderation. I've been doing it for five years now and I've never had some sort of undying urge to go crazy and smoke more than like two bowls in a night by myself. Sometimes I do more but only if I'm at a party or something. It just seems like such a waste of money and weed.

>Somewhere there is no weed

This place does not exist.

Weed is trash and dumb to smoke

I moved to taiwan and quit cold turkey. I smoked every day for over 10 years before I cam here and now I just lift and fuck asian pussy over tinder. I got 3 girlfriends right now that I raw dog and literally 5 other girls I fuck on the side. I often fuck 2 different girls in one day

Genetics and environment. Most people use drugs to deal with loneliness, trauma, or character defects.

>tfw able to manage a job, training schedule, social life, and marijuana habit

It's not hard guys. Just don't smoke until you're done being productive for the day.

>smoking bongs
dude you are genuinely fucking retarded and have never smoked in your life I smoke 1 bowl every morning as a wakeupo of heavy indica for the cbd to chill my anxiety and it works like a fucking charm.

>Smoking indica to wake up
Nigga that's a one way ticket to getting nothing done

Caffiene is your friend. My tolerance is so high I don't even feel the THC anymore off of just one bowl

Self. Control. Fucking hell man, if your serious, that's crazy. I can't imagine how you function, let alone afford such a habit. You can only get so high on any drug before the body load is worse than the benefits of being high. That's why you don't take a bottle of aspirin for severe pain, you take a small amount of opiates for example. I'd suggest mixing it up and doing different drugs, but you clearly lack the self limitation necessary for such a lifestyle.

Alcohol is a shit drug compared to weed, but nice from time to time, especially with meals and a beer after a hard day of work.

Of course it is, you precious paragon of purity.

Weed is nice, I like a smoke before workouts, runs, and practicing music, or just chilling. Also great for comedowns off other drugs, and fantastic for potentiating LSD. I go through 3 grams in one week if smoking heavily and take regular breaks. Smoke heavy regularly and you lose the perks and just get the body load. You build tolerance and lose effects. Same as any drug. The only response to tolerance is to take more, or take a break. Take breaks. Do different classes of drugs that hit different receptors and let others normalize in the mean time if you really like drugs that much. Keep the magic. Don't lose it through abuse.

t. enjoys weed, shrooms, lsd, coke, speed, mdma, alcohol, salvia...

I like weed after a workout but not before. Don't get as good of a pump. I usually wake and bake but didn't today because I'm going to the gym after work. TY based Veeky Forums

>t. Dyel
Never gonna make it with those drugs brah

yes, yes, you're very cool for doing drugs

Except I'm just a pothead not a method out heroin junkie, so no, no one needs to beat the shit out me. I don't steal to support my addiction, i worked for the money to pay for it. I'm only damaging my self and my savings account.

Honestly about 90 cones a day mixed with tobacco. I don't even get stoned anymore.

Wow a stimulant junkie has energy?

This guy is right.
Weed is the only drug i take. I haven't drank since newyears, same with the year before that. I don't drink alcohol or coffee, I only smoke tobacco through a bong with weed. I started out the same just having a joint every other weekend but it eventually became a daily thing then i just couldn't stop like i used to be able to.

>dude you are genuinely fucking retarded and have never smoked in your life

Dude you know what, you're fucking right. How can weed be real if our eyes aren't real....DUDE!
You're also a dropkick stoner just like me, only difference is I'm self aware and don't spit out this mystical stoner nonsense.

I'm serious. I have plenty of money saved and have worked up until 2 months when my boss just quit and left town without telling anyone. I always worked to support my habit and always saved money. Never went to work stoned, but the second i would get home i would smoke 4 cones straight, followed by another 20-30 during the night.

We'll see about that. Gone from 68kg skelly to 83kg ottermode in the last year.

If you say so.

> 90 cones a day
My mind reels at the thought. Well, good luck. All I can suggest is taking up some hobbies/socializing in your free time which preclude smoking so as force you to use less. Hope you find a way to control it.

I'm surprised that i haven't collapsed a lung from smoking bongs. Thanks for the advice and support.

>no pics
>he has to lie on a anonymous online forum
Wew lad thanks for proving my point for me

OP, you seem to have the right idea about replacing one addiction with another. Speaking from experience, I feel like those with addictive personality traits are always inclined to be addicted to something.
Getting Veeky Forums is a good idea, but it won't take up all your time (not at the beginning at least). It sounds like you need some other distractions as well. Try walking for as long as it takes to get your head clear, or running if you can manage it physically.
The thing that had the most impact in my case was changing my peer group. I hold myself completely accountable for the things I did, but its important to realise that without that network of likeminded individuals around you who are willing to support your bad habits, you are in a much stronger position with regards to returning to normal life. If your dealer is really your best friend, they won't mind a small pay cut - just get them to sell you less and less each time. I'm sure you have done so already, but talk to people close to you about the problems you've been having. This will help with your self awareness if nothing else.
Good luck OP, you got it

You must be so proud of yourself.

>90 cones a day mixed with tobacco

That's fucking retarded, even if they were 0.1g, about the minimum needed to get high you'd be going through 9g of weed a day which is at least $100. Yet you say don't have a job. Stop with these dumb lies.

everyone in this thread is a faggot.

It's the bad weed that makes you addicted. Not the weed itself but all the chemicals commercial growers use.
My advice is; grow your own clean weed.
See the difference to street weed and decide what you want to do from there. It will give you that kind of high you had when you just started every god damn time minus the negative health aspects.
Also 30 cones/day is very unneccessary.

Don't try to replace THC with supplements. Waste of time.
Maybe(!) take some glutamine/bcaa intra workout but that's it. Everything else is a ripoff. Work on diet, if you eat healthy you're overall more happy and the cones you smoke actually have an effect.
t. healthy drug addict

you are in this thread boiii

Savings ya wanker, did you even read any of my other posts? Also i get 14g for $60.
I have worked since i was 15 until 2 months ago (I'm 24 now). I save and budget my money. Read before you comment.

I think you're right about this. Hydro weed is shit compared to home grown by someone who knows what they're doing.

As a daily smoker who juggles 5 jobs and uni, the best advice I could give you is keep busy. Get some shit done before you have that first bowl, and if you're not sure what to do find someone who will pay you for your time. Cruising job postings is not the same as going out in person with a CV. It sounds like you're living without purpose, not just falling into the bud burnout rut. Find your purpose my dude.

holy shit just stop faggot it isnt that hard. i smoked daily for 10+ years and when i quit i felt shitty for like 3 months then was fine

Ive been sober for months due to an arrest id drink but that was it.
Smoked weed, drank and did some blow last night and ive been going to the gym for 2 months now. Anyways when i did it it felt good but it also felt irregular kinda made me feel as though it wasnt meant to be. Made me question why i was even a everyday stoner for 3 years. But regaurdless im not even thinking about it atm just anxious to go to the gym in a bit.
My advice to you.
Quit cold turkey for at least a month a real man can do that. Start working out doesnt have to be the gym at first but still do what you can and just get into the lifestyle. Occasionally get high or drunk try to keep it a social thing and youll probably be fine. Just dont buy any otherwise youll feel more obligated to smoke more

I had a bad relationship with alcohol until recently. Now drink every other day, no more than two drinks. Usually just a glass of wine before bed for dem dere antioxidants.

Haven't been out to the bars in awhile but I probably still get good and drunk with friends once a month or so. I look better, I feel a LOT better, lifts are shooting through the roof. I know a lot of people say this, but this really is the best decision I've made in a long time.

Weed is alright, I don't smoke anymore because it makes me really anxious ~80% of the time I smoke it. A lot of my friends do though.

Yeah it's definitely a waste. Everybody knows that.

You know some people just don't ever feel the urge to smoke a ton, some do. I think it depends on your environment a lot.

For example, around the first time I smoked, I had almost no friends; then, I smoked with them and we had an amazing time, and I could relate to and have fun with people in a way I couldn't before, partially because everyone smoked marijuana. So in a sense, the concept of smoking marijuana got connected with having a good time with friends. So for a while I would have a great time by myself just smoking.

But in the long run, yes, I realized it was harmful behavior and I didn't need it anymore to have a good time, so I dramatically reduced the amount I smoked, and the effort I put in to find marijuana.

So hopefully that lends some perspective on the issue from your side.

Kill yourself "joe"

Like anything it has its uses and it's just important to set boundaries.

I like to smoke a bowl before I go into workout.
The feeling is like nothing else.

I do think I've been smoking too much lately though and I'm looking to reduce that intake. But what it's GIVEN me is more than what it's taken away though.

oh shieeet u got me

joe pls go and never come back

I started smoking to diminish my problems...so I kind of succeeded, now weed is the problem and everything else has diminished.

I used to smoke 2-4 blunts a day and I thought I was addicted.

>dropkick stoner

wtf is that
