Anyone else quit smoking for an extended period for personal reasons?

I have nothing against weed at all, in fact I fucking love to smoke a fuck ton of ganja at all times possible, but that just can't happen anymore. Its putting too much of a strain on my brain, and I eat like a fucking animal. That being said, I'm two weeks clean as of today and I'm getting in great shape. My brain is kind of clearing up, and the amotivational syndrome is definitely gone seeing as I'm in total fitness mode right now. I'm not giving up bud forever, but as of right now it just isn't for me. I'm always tempted as fuck because all of my friends smoke, but I'm trying to hold through till atleast when I go on vacation. Anyone else in the same boat as I am?

 

ya I get that too so during the weeks I only blaze at night when everything is done. plus I like the sober time inbetween sometimes.

 

I would try that, but I have no self control, which is another reason for quitting smoking as well as drinking so I can handle myself in college.

 

I've been on binges where there is a demand for a peculiar mental faculty for which pot is not conducive.

 

i'm not in the same place as you, but i have been. last summer, end of summer i quit so i could dream again, among other things.

do what you need to do until you decide other wise. simple as that. good luck and enjoy

:sifone:

 

i have slowed down considerably and i feel like i'm getting my shit back together

i smoke every two days or so, compared to everyday multiple times a day.

i feel ya though, sometimes you gotta stop and get your shit together. i'm learning to get my shit together and keep the pipe cherried

 

I tried balancing smoking and real life shit, but in the end it ended with me giving up after a week or two and just going back to my old ways. Its funny because the only reason I quit this time around was because my best friend was like "Dude, lets get our shit together, shit is real, we gotta stop smoking and get in shape for college." I quit, and the next day his ex told him some shit that pissed off and ever since then he's been smoking and I haven't.

 

Good luck with your break!

I smoke way less in the summer, that's kind of my break haha.

 

Yep, I used to have self contoll and would smoke no more than 3 times a week, but then I lost it, and now any weed I have will be instantly consumed.

For me the easiest way to quit/take a break from weed, is not to slowly cut back, but just go cold turkey. So basically if there is weed sitting on my desk I will be stoned. If I dont have weed lying around its no problem and I can just do something else.

 

I thought I was getting wrinkles from smoking, so I quit

turned out it was just dry skin. However I have cut considerably because of my silly mistake. Turns out vanity pays more than my life does, though

I guess I am just happy I look a lot younger than my similar ages friends and want to keep things that way

 

I've smoked on and off for the past 11 years. I smoked daily, multiple times a day, for quite a while, but the past 2 months not so much. I love the ganj no matter what, but I feel like I appreciate it even more when I only smoke a few times a week or less. Not to mention, I can get baaaaked on like 4 good bong rips. I smoked yesterday and got TOOoooo stoned for the first time in a long time... a lot of people may argue there is no such thing, but I do have my sweet spot and it's pretty uncomfortable if I pass it.

Saves money, food, and I have a lot more energy. I think my biggest complaint was the feeling of wanting to nap constantly throughout the day. I also feel a little less depressed. All in all, it's been a good decision to cut down.
