    Since my weed tolerance is hella high I've decided to quit for a week and let it go down some. I'm 2 days into being sober and I want to smoke so bad. I was wondering if anyone has quit for a short time and what you/they did to keep yourself occupied enough to not smoke. Any suggestions?

    I haven't smoked for 2-3 weeks, and I'm perfectly fine. Just get out and do something, if you're feeling a strong urge to smoke. The main thing is realizing how much higher you're gonna get after not having smoked for a while. Keep your mind on that and you'll be golden, because you'll realize that it's worth the wait. Weed'll always be there, so what's a few days of not smoking, when you got your whole life to smoke?

    yea i agree with TNS i havent smoke for about 1 month now and i have until october before i can again...probation but just find something you like to do and do it or get a job that takes up all your time so you dont really have much to think about smoking and on weekends or free time use other drugs or alcohol thats how i plan to get through these 6 months

    After tonight im gonna take a week break after smoking for months straight. What im going to do is what i always do, justn get out and do something to take your mind off things. I like to play basketball and other sports or just hang out with friends that dont smoke(if you have any friends that dont smoke, it could be rare for some stoners)

    Back when I went on a break for a while, I kept cigs around for times when I REALLY needed to smoke atleast SOMETHING.
    They really kept me off weed for that while. But it also kept me from feeling that sense of accomplishment at the end of my break since I had smoked something... but I wasn't looking for that, I just wanted to stop getting high for a while

    Work out
    That really seems to help

    Maybe find a new activity like skateboarding or guitar idk
    Just fight it because I know how people bitch about how weed isn't addicting but it does put you in a different state of mind, therefore you do find yourself really craving to be high again, things get boring

    i love taking breaks, i find with my tolerance that im not high for as long, its like being baked for 20 minuites and burning out for an hour or 2, but i took a week long break a few weeks ago, and it was indeed worth the wait.

    if ur REALLY craving a toke of some weed seriously get ur piece (or if u dont wanna "hurt" ur peice) make an aluminum foil bowl and smoke oregano. it doesnt give u even the lest bit of a buzz but try it anyway itll make u not want to anynmore or i heard if u smoke green tea that'll work well too but that might give u a little buzz i hear

    working out for me does well, makes me tired when i get back although i still think about it im too tired to do anything. and its important you dont keep stash around or lock it up and place the key where its hard to get but difficult to forget. haha that will discourage you from taking the necessary steps to reach and fill that empty bowl.. lol just sharing my piece. good luck with it anyway!

    I quit for a month, and I just made a point of not going to my mates if I knew they'd be smoking, and I told everyone not to offer it to me or sell it to me.

    Tothedome is right. It really does take your mind off of smoking. Fuck blow.

    I am planning on taking a week or 2 break after I finish the rest of this weed I do have.
    Like everyone else said, do something to take your mind off of it, or smoke cigs, or find other ways to get fucked up (although that's a bad influenced idea).

    I'm on a 2 week break right now and yeah, working out is a great way to pass the time. I just do as many pushups as I can while watching tv, or crunches. Then just keep trying to break my limit. Never stop if you tired just keep going.

    When I'm doing 100+ crunches and it hurts really bad I just think of how pain is just a chemical neurological reaction and it isn't a real thing. Its just a feeling like touching a piece of cloth. Then I just keep thinking how interesting this feeling is instead of thinking how "painful it is".
    with that state of mind I've been able to push my self to ridiculous limits.

    I had decided to quit about 6 months ago, and just didn't smoke at all for 5 months and had no urge to, then in the past month I started casually smoking again since everyone around me always is. Why are you trying to quit for a week, lol?
