cold turkey for a month

im not gonna be able to pass maths this year if i keep on smoking weed i need to clear my head, going cold turkey would be easy but since im just gonna constantly be around it it will be difficult anyone have any tips?
peacex

 

just don't smoke. It's not heroin

stop hanging around with people when you know they're going to smoke, and if they do smoke in front of you, say no thanks. it's not that hard

 

Yeah dude, just don't smoke hold yourself back, after the first few days it wont be hard at all.

 

Dude.. I wouldn't be able to stop if I had people around me smoking it. I'm going cold turkey for a month too, to get my head straight, and to have a lower tolerance. I will be able to stop easy if its not around me... But if people are around me smoking and offer it to me... Ugh. I'd have to take a hit or 7. Not because i'm addicted... Just because... Well... It's weed, it's free, and my friends tend to get upset if I deny a smoke out cuz we all love to smoke eachother out. But good luck to you and stopping for awhile.

 

i am also going cold turkey for a month to get my grades straight and to lower my steep tolerance after smoking a half ounce on 420. from past experiences its not that bad after 3 days.

 

alright cheers well my last smoke was yesterday saturday and its easier not to smoke during college although everyone else still does but yeah i can do this, it wont be hard but not easy either, good luck to the others taking a break, peacex

 

Good luck! I tried to take a break, but then i said fuck it and toked up on 420. I'll have a 3 week break forced on me after this next weekend anyway. I took a 2 month break a while ago. The first month was me trying to take a break, then the second month was because I couldn't find anymore ganj and the ganj i was saving ended up being sold because my friend was itching for some badly. For the first week I was kind of irratable and didn't want to do anything. Then i got crazy hyper for 2 weeks. A good tip for breaking is to make sure you have no ganj around you. Sell or give away w/e you have right now so you aren't tempted to smoke any.

 

I am gonna smoke tonight then take a break for a little while, probably until the middle of May, after finals, and school is over then getting ripped.

 

For some reason I thought this was going to be about you eating turkey sandwiches for the past month...

 

^ hahaha, that's exactly what i thought, i was like wtf?

 

Maybe I can help a bit.

I went from smoking 1/2 oz - 1oz per week to NOTHING. Cold turkey.

The best thing I can suggest is - get a lot of books that are really interesting. Read like a motherfucker because its the only thing that really keeps my mind off pot. Also, for at least 21 days, don't be around it at all. Get rid of the pot, pariphanelia, everything. Stay away from friends that smoke. Be honest with them and just say you can't handle being around pot while ur trying to quit. Also, get some over the counter sleeping aids for the first week. Take them every night so you dont go sleepless. After about a month now, I only think of pot maybe 10% of the day. As compared to 100% before.

Hope that helps.

 

Man, i've never tried weed untill i graduated high school. However though. I quit cold turkey a month ago because i fucked up and lost a chance at a good job like a dumbass. So now I plan on staying clean to get a new, better job. Unfortinatly because in this day and age, although I love to smoke weed, you cant get a job thats worth a fuck if you cant pass a drug test. Clean cut and plain and simple. Now i know theres probably somebody out there making $1000 dollars a week and has never taken a drug test in their life. However, finding a job like that is extremely rare. (a legit job, not selling). So pretty much when you get to a point in your life where you got an income and can sit on your ass and do nothing and still make money (like owning a buisness) weed is out of the question unless your good at cheating a drug test. However the stress and effort envolved is simply not worth it.



Now with all that said, i love to smoke weed. But i have no problem putting it down if i have to. Ill pick it up again some day when the occasion permits it.

 

Same boat brotha. I decided that I don't get high enough anymore. I'm taking a break for the month of may... might smoke once or twice between now and then, but definatly not everyday anymore.

Salvia or Beer might help in my times of extreme weekness.

 

i think it is much much easier to stop if you dont think youre gonna stop forever. remind yourself that youll get to smoke in the hollidays, if you get a bit upset.

i find the hardest thing to be going to bed. as canadude said, read. or, if youre not a reader, then my suggestion is videogames. do something that puts you in an imaginary world and you can avoid the desire to smoke up.

but.,.. when it comes to sleeping, i dunno. ive had to turn to alcohol and other things to help me sleep and thats just not cool. one of the reasons i started smoking in the first place was that it made bedtime a nice thing. when i stop smoking (and i am alone - if my girlfriend is with me then its different), i remember the horror of lying in bed with nothing but the need to get to sleep

 

im on day 3 of my break and i havent gotten more than 4 hours sleep each night

 

dude this shit is retarded. im on break and i look at my shit everyday as well as watch people smoke around me. i guess it's different for everybody. i'm not the least bit 'addicted'. i have no problems sleeping either.... well, no more than usual

 

damnit i smoked it today, well im still trying i wont smoke it again till a months time

 

^a month from today or a month from saturday?

i dont know why im askin you i dont really care

 

i could definately stop if for a guaranteed job. but the oppurtunity hasnt arised so ima keep on toking. until saturday, and ill stop until the SATs are done with.
