It sucks, but i definitely have to stop smoking for an indefinite period of time. I"ll probably stop completely for a couple weeks so I don't feel like I need it anymore, then just smoke with friends for a while. I've been feeling depressed, lazy, "cloudy", etc. and a break will definitely help. I know weed shouldn't make you depressed but that's coming from the guilt of smoking behind my parents back I guess. If I just keep it to once in a while with friends it's not a problem, but smoking daily is starting to take it's toll on both my mind and body (I've been experiencing minor chest pain too which i never had before, probably due to my asthma). Well i'm sure we've all been here before (perhaps not the exact same symptoms), and it sucks, but at least i realize it's time for a change. Hopefully it gets easier than it is today. I'm thinking about weed quite a bit, probably should get off of this site too.
It's good you realize the need for a break, Im month 3 of a year break, it gets easy after the 1st week. In fact when I planned to take a break I told myself it would only be two weeks, after that well the craving of getting high really wasnt there anymore, so I made it a year break, that way I can finish off high school in proper form, to which then I can enjoy the young scholarhood University years with the wonderful weed.
this is what i needed to hear, because i haven't really taken a break longer than a week in a while. right now it's really hard, luckily i got rid of my weed and stuff so i don't have the option.. i just want this week to be over. I really don't like being "dependent" (depending on your definition of the word) on a substance like this. i'm also really hoping that my depression/anxiety is because of the weed, because i can't take it much longer and i don't want to take zoloft or any shit like that. So i'm taking a break to see how I feel first before I tell my mom i'm depressed or anything.
the only reason i would want to take a break is to lower my tolerence level again..but hell then id smoke again as soon as i said id quit
You're lucky that the cravings went away so quick. I think for a lot of people, even after a few weeks, they still think about it & feel the sensation, like you can taste a cheeseburger when you're craving one really bad. I suppose the point of the break is to get to the point where you are not craving it any more. Oddly enuf, I like to be at parties where people are smoking. I find it comforting. Most stoners really respect a break, & they're real cool about it. I hope you will still be posting 9 mos from now when you lite up again. I'd like to hear about it. A 1 year break is a great idea.
