How can I cut down on smoking pot?

Hi guys,
I've been kind of smoking pot too often, I dont really smoke alot in quanity but often. I'm not really sure why I do it so much, I smoke maybe 2-5 times a day. It hasn't really gotten in the way of anything but I think I'm maybe being unhealthy or unproductive... Help me out if you can...

P.s I was somewhat considering taking time off, but whenever I do that I end up smoking again...

 

Its something you just have to tell yourself to do and do it. When I quit thats all I had to go on. As hard as this sounds, it takes a change of lifestyle. I had to stop spending very much time with my friends who smoked because they always got me to.

 

in theory, it is simple: Never inhale pot smoke again!

...in practice, I have no idea...

strength, willpower, and determination, I guess...

 

is it really getting in the way, or do you think that is should be because that's what people tell you? I get that way sometimes, but I think, wait. I have a good job, a good home, a great guy, I'm happy, I'm not broke, ect.

But if it's really getting in the way, you just have to have willpower and a hobby.

 

no no the pot isnt getting in the way... its just very expensive and have been smoking pretty much continueously for 4 years..I was just thinking I should cut down a mite...esp since its expensive....


but more later!!!

The key is finding something else (a hobby, sport, instrument, etc.) that will fill the time you'd normally be smoking. If you really want to stop, and you can find something else to occupy your time you will be successful. Idle time is bad news unless you're meditating.

 

I used to smoke quite a bit of pot, now I smoke maybe once or twice a day. My problem is definately the people I associate with, as much as I love my Mom, my boyfriend, my friends and most of my family, they're all a bunch of stoners!!!! I haven't bought pot since I was about 16 (I'm 24 now). And yet, every day of my life I get high... For a couple of years I pretty much quit, during college, after I broke up with a pot-head. But then my Mom, who'd always smoked but only shared with me occasionally, started inviting me to smoke all the time (after school, work, etc.) and I started spending more time with old friends from highschool, etc. and later on began dating another pot-head and now I'm back to smoking daily. Still not like I used to smoke, I can take it or leave it. Sometimes after work I really want it and I'll maybe put a pinch in a pipe just to take the edge off. I feel a lot better knowing I don't need to smoke several times a day (though I often do on weekends with my man) but the key is I think just putting it off....no I'll smoke later, let me get this done first....and finding other stuff to do. I don't think anyone needs to quit completely (unless it's interfering with personal life/work/family) and just cutting down, putting it off, etc. might make a big difference in day-to-day life.
