Sobriety Break.

I definitely think it's time for me. I've only been smoking since September of this year, and I started out only as a weekend smoker, and that has progressed into a daily smoker. I'm not really comfortable with that, and I feel like I've been just mentally cloudly these past few weeks.

I have no concept of time and zero concentration, I can barely remember what I did yesterday, I'm easily confused, and I've pretty much forgotten what complete sobriety feels like. It has effected my sleeping as well, if I don't smoke that day I can't sleep, but if I do smoke, I wake up groggy, with a headache, and usually nauseous. Plus the past few times I smoked all I could think about was that I'm smoking too much, which snowballs into anxiety about school, and my grades this semester (which have to be brought up)

So yeah, I definitely think de-tox should start today. I want to take like 2 - 3 weeks off and see if it doesn't clear my head a little.

 

Hey man, good luck with it. I've been considering taking a break for a while, just for tolerance reasons. Well, that and I can't afford my own sacks too much, but I still have plenty of friends that smoke me up. My mind doesn't get that cloudy, but sometimes I stumble over my speech, like I can't get the right words to come out. That may have nothing to do with the weed though. It's tough to quit, though, when the weather starts warming up and turning nice; all I want to do is be outside, and well, smoke.
But yeah, good luck with your break.

 

Yeah man I'm actually sorta feelin one myself... doesn't happen often but might be a good call to just not smoke til 4/20 or somethin

 

Good luck man, I've done the same. It was getting to my memory which I need for the next few months of school; so I haven't smoked in a little over three weeks now and will continue that way until mid-June.
My memory is a lot better now.

 

ive been on a break for a week and have been hacking a huge amount of shit up :S

 

its tough to take a break wen your trying to sell... always have a big pile of weed in front of me

 

do it man trust me its completely worth it if not only to regain short term memory but also for your tolerance to go way the fuck down ive been doin it since december only smokin either once a month or special occasions like new years n 4/20 n stuff (cant wait btw lol) and im not gonna start back as much till like atleast half way thru may and it makes each time soo much more fun and u get way more baked off less bud is worth it in every way

 

Yeah, I'm definitely going to try and stick with this for a week or two. I even got a de-tox drink from the health food store, tasted awful, but I could really feel a difference after drinking it, I pissed like 30 times today, but it definitely helped clean out some shit from my body. My lungs especially which I assume is because the drink contains "mullein leaf extract" I coughed out like a pound of disgusting crap today, and my lungs feel brand new.

Unfortunately day one isnt even over yet, normally I'd be lighting up in about 2 hours (9pm). The hardest part is going to be chilling at my friends house (which we do every night) while they are smoking and I'm not.

Time will tell, I'm sure the break will be worth it. My short term is 0, it's not even so much that I don't remember stuff, I just have to think REALLY hard to recover the info, it sucks.

But for the good news, my parents are going away the weekend of 4/20 mwuahhahaha

 

I quit bud on sunday. Ended but buying some on Monday and had a joint on Sunday night. I've come to realise bud is just something that is in my life now and it is honestly hard for me to be without it. If it comes into my head i'll want some and just stress over not having any weed which i was completely fine with before i started anyway. Bullshit.

 

Soo weed is addicting then....

 

No. I am maintaining my stance that marijuana is not physically addictive. It's just something that I (we) love doing, and it's hard to not do. I love video games If I had to restrain myself from playing my Xbox360 for a couple weeks that would be very hard to do.

Especially because like marijuana, I play Xbox everyday, and it's part of my daily routine. Humans and mammals in general live in a routine (ever try to give your dog his dinner later than usual?) when that routine is broken, it can create anxiety, and irritability. Hence, making abstinence from smoking (or any other pleasurable activity) a difficult venture.

 

I quit for 21 days. easy as pie. good luck dude, it really is worth it.

 

as far as behavior goes, marijuana can easily become an addiction. who cares whether it has a physical qithdrawal or not? people can go haywire without their daily smoke. you can get sleeplessness, irritability, lack of appetite, intense boredom, etc.

i say taking a break from smoking is essential in understanding what marijuana means to you and who you are in general.

however, i am going to go take a break from sobriety for a little while

 

Yeh, I have been considering that too, figured out that all the cabins in Western Maryland have already been rented out for the 4/20 / 4/21 weekend, lmao. So me and my friend are going to a Pink Floyd tribute band and 4 eigth blunts of some of these good ass mids. Would way rather roll a blunt with mids since it burns slower, and since it isn't fluffy it doesn't waste as much toke as heads or kb does. Should be a great night if I drop my tolerance for sure...

^^I hear that.

 

Day 1 is complete. Didn't sleep that great, but I actually feel mentally great today, not groggy, not stressed, just 100% happy, and relaxed. I'm surprised, I feel better today then when I had been smoking daily!

I guess I got so used to feeling groggy and burnt out everyday I forgot how good it was to be stone cold sober, I'm actually looking forward to my time off. The only thing that's getting to me is I have about a half gram, and two roaches, so I'm either going to flush those, or give em away.

So far things are goin great, and it's quite the opposite of what I expected. =)

 

Wow, thats a long time.

I'm streching my last 6 grams, then I'm going to take a break until 420. I'm generally a smoke everyday for one week, 2 week break type guy.

 

Yeh, I am gonna smoke on spring break then take a break till the 20th because I am going to a kick ass concert the 20th and 21st, buying an o of some mids and rollin four blunts. Mids because it burns so much slower, and with that much weed you are getting high reguardless the quality. And I agree, it is difficult as shit to quit for a period of time, but it is definatly worth it. And it sucks also, because for the 20th I was gonna go up in the mountains with some friends, but I called last week and all the cabins are already booked ;_; waaaaaaaaaah.

 

that was the sign that i needed to slow down too

 

I started a tolerance break a few days ago, and I'm lighting up again on Friday. Yay for getting stoned fast again

 

It's so much easier then I thought. I actually feel great these past few days I have felt more energized, happier, and thinking clearer then ever.

Will I go back to smoking again? Fuck yeah

Will I go back to smoking every day again? No.

I'm sticking with weekends only after my two weeks are up.
