I Really Hate To Admit It But....

I think it's time for me to take a really big break from smoking I've havent' had the motivation to do anything in a long time and it's starting to effect me. I don't have energy or the inspiration to play guitar anymore either it sucks Sometimes it's hard for me to tell if I'm depressed or if I'm just burnt out.

 

I'm on day 3 of no smoking...and today i have been coughing coughing coughing. I'm coughing more not smoking than i did when i was smoking. All that lung butter is trying to come out....

I hear ya on the depressed part. Sometimes ive been alone in my room at night kinda sad and i feel like smoking a bowl to just space out tell bed..but after i smoke its like all my negative thoughts just get enhanced...Smoking when you are doing something outdoors is more enjoyable i think...but ya being burnt out i think is really easy when you been smoking for years. Maybe its just our mindset though, mid over matter is no joke.

Breaks are always good though...you know when your scraping your pipe and all that black looking tar shit is coming out...whats inside ya can't be that good...: (

I was once told by someone that if cig smokers could see inside their body,,guarantee they would quit that day. Sometimes i feel that way about bud..because today for example ...fuck man coughing so much...the butter wants to come out.

Ive been drinking a lot of hot tea at night before i go to bed. I think it helps much.

 

Does smoking weed really affect you that badly?

I mean, I don't smoke, it makes me sick as fuck, so I guess I never really understood that

I love the sun. Getting daily sunshine has many benefits, such as natural vitamin D. Today I spent all day out in the sun. Now I have a hellacious sunburn.

Pot is the same way. Okay i'm really bad at metaphors. I think a lot of people think because pot is a benign drug and is so beneficial in so many ways that it doesn't matter how much one smokes, but in truth its just like any other drug. If you do it in moderation, on the weekends or to help relax after a long day then its great. Otherwise too much is going to burn eventually.

I had to cut way back a few years ago. I always did the ol' wake n bake, I smoked on my breaks at work, and I smoked all evening when I got off work. That shit made me depressed as hell because eventually I forgot what it was like to be sober.

 

I havent smoked in two months. I feel great!!!! Its hard at first like you hear people talking about smoking or see some bud porn online and ur like ahh i wanna smoke!! You get major cravings but it gets easier!!!!!

 

It feels great to stop after a long time smoking, and it feels great to start after a long time not smoking.

 

I make sure I take a week off smoking for every two months of smoking. the first week is the worst, after that its whatever. best thing you can do is just hide all smoking utensils and start finding distractions.

 

Just watched that movie a few nights ago, hilarious

 

I went from smoking daily, to not smoking at all for the past 3 days now (not by choice lol) it kind of sucks... I was doing fine and not craving weed at all, until just now i watched Super High Me, now i'd kill for some nice bud hopefully tomorrow i'll be able to get my hands on some... Being on hipforums defiantly doesn't help either, always makes me think of weed...

 

how do you know it isnt the lesbianism that is making you feel burnt out... ?

i heard its hard work?

 

Why do I feel like for everyone "smoking" consists in doing it every single day? Of course it's going to take its toll if you do it that way. I've never heard of anyone who kept it to once or twice a week saying they needed a break!

 

^ Well.....

 

I agree with that sentiment, but "go hard" for me is a one-off massive dose after a period of abstinence, not a weak dose every day when you've built up too much tolerance to get a decent effect of the drug.

It's not "going hard" if your receptors aren't responding to the drug properly because you've built up too much tolerance by smoking daily.

 

One of my friends took a 8 month break few years ago. On his birthday we smoked him out....man he was fuuuuuucckked up! ;D

 

I wish you luck MayQueen! I'm going to try one too.. I'm so ready for a break. It's got to the point that I just feel burnt out all the time, and i'm not motivated to do anything except browse the internet and take naps. It's awful......

 

I'm going on a two week break soon again as well It's really good in every way, not in the least to get your tolerance a bit down again and get stoned after two weeks with the notion how two weeks without daily hazyness makes you both more productive and get even more fun out of your weed then when you smoke it daily :biggrin: Also of course because getting stoned is more satisfactory after you succesfully finished some useful shit.

 

rehab is for quitters

 

I used to smoke everyday, almost without fail, and often many, many times a day, now I dont smoke ANYWHERE near as much as i did before and i dont mind it at all. I love smoking bud, but taking a break every so often makes smoking again even better
