How do I do this?

I used to be a reefer cheefer, and probably everything else to go w/ it. Recently I quit smoking ciggerattes, which was probably one of the most important things I've ever done (I feel friggen awesome) I think it's been like 4 weeks or more. If you really wanna quit, first you need to realize what's more important to you, getting blowed, or takin care of responsibilities? I miss it don't get me wrong, but I just turned 25 today, and proud to say ima tug boat captain; no way I can do that and drive a tug. I really love what I do, and I think it kinda supplemented the need to cheef da Ganga. You just need to find your supplement, not as hard as you think holms. I do wish you good luck, and look forward to hearing how it's going.

I have responsibilities, and I guess that's part of the problem... lack of consequences. I've been able to run my household, hold steady work, and stay on the Dean's list all the while being a midnight toker. I use it to quiet my mind and just be "happy" for a couple of hours. It's been a couple of days since I've smoked, and the cravings are still strong as ever. I've had a hard time filling in the time (baking, watching movies, housework), and nothing seems to be as satisfying as smoking. BUT I've gone a couple of days and survived, and I think I can go another day. Maybe if I keep it in that context for now, I'll get through. I'm happy to hear that you were able to quit and find a good job that you enjoy. That's what my goal is. Thanks for the inspiration.

say itsjustme, the guy iv been with is in a wheelchair too. can i ask what happened to your husband?

good on you i'mjustme i'm no professional but i have the same prob pot dependency and have always managed to function to a certain degree as you say by keeping usage to night time but daily for nearly ten years have been clean for a month now and before now the only other times i have done it was during pregnancy i totally identify with the lack of consequences statement but have come to realise lack of motivation, increasing need and desire for more and the expense are consequenses all of their own :) keep up the distraction and try the old "replace this bad habit with a good habit" mantra if talking to others on support is it ..... go crazy!!!!!! smoking is not a victimless crime, the victim is the real you :)
