This is day 3 of my break, I am a little edgy towards my folks, but thats about it. I have been wanting to get high sooo bad, but I want to low my tolerance and save a little money. I am trying to go 7 days and 7 nights. Reality is starting to kick in.
Man, a week is nothing. When I take a break, it's for a month. You've got it made, bro, just find something productive and engaging to do (not tv).
excercise! that's the only thing that ever works for me. Good job on 3 days and take control of your body and go at LEAST 4 more. YOU CAN DO IT!!
i hate taking breaks, but its definitly worth to not smoke for 2 weeks or so. I should take a break until my throat gets better...but i wont
THanks for all the support guys!! I love the picture jointman haha. I am gonna take it a day at a time, if I can make it 7 days I might go for 14. I just keep telling myself that the next time I toke up I will get baked off a lot less.
oh yeaaa yer 'break' haha. good job! seriously! back when i didnt smoke people used to tell me 'wow i didnt smoke for a WHOLE three days!!!!!!' and i wud think 'oh who cares its only 3 days' but now, i think 3 days is damn good!! i think its good sometimes to take a break because then the next time u get stoned, ur REALLY stoned and u realize how good it felt to be stoned! man i was tottaly gona take a break this week but i didnt. oh well. oh yeah, i know wut u mean about the 'reality' kicking back in..its weird. kinda..insane if you will. dotn wanna think bout it!
three days? THREE DAYS?! tomorrow will be exactly two months since i last partook of my beloved doobage. i was totally unmotivated, and i realised i had to pack it in for a while, plus my circumstances have changed so i know i'm not gonna be able to smoke for a VERY long time. the plan is to get my life sorted out to the point where i'm good and financially secure, i have a plan, a foolproof plan i tell you - and when i can finally smoke again i'm going to roll a nice fat stinky spliff, and when i light it and take that first beloved toke towards which all my previous endevours and hardships will have worked, i'll feel that sweet sweet THC wash over my brain and i'm going to sit back and KNOW that my years (yes, very possibly years) of not smoking will have been worth every single second. god damn i want to get high
Take a break, then realize : Much better to space it out to a couple times a week than to go a (few) month(s) on and a month off.
ok the best piece of advice i have been given is 10% OF WHAT YOU EARN IS YOURS TO KEEP first, get a job you lazy hobos - spend out fuck all. doesnt matter how, make sacrifices. when you are putting by 10% (or more) and not spending it, you will watch your money grow like a group of hippies in a face painting tent. make money any way you can! work every hour you possibly can, and once you have enough money, go to an indepent financial advisor and get a mortgage on a house - which you then rent out. after you have your foot on the bottom of the property ladder it all starts happening, or so im told (by someone who knows what theyre talking about, believe me). they 'trick' here is to work ridiculously fucking hard for a few years when you're young, so that you dont piss away your young years and have to spend the rest of your life worrying about money. i'd rather work like a bastard now and live it up in a few years than live it up now and spend the rest of my life getting older and being pressed under some managerial cunts boot. i know you didnt want to hear that, i know you wanted me to tell you the magical easy way, but you know that the difference between the easy way and the hard way is that the hard way works. one day i'm going to have enough money to be able to sit back, smoke, and watch the world go by for the rest of my life. and hopefully it aint gonna be too far away
First, Bikshu is right, that's how I do it, and it works fabulously. I still take occasional months off. Second, Mart, that's not a bad plan. Do you fix houses or something? Because the way I see it, if you want a good deal on a house, it's gonna be a fixer upper, but you'll then rent it out, plus eventually sell it, so you'll make back your investment, meanwhile your working other jobs. Anyways, do you think you'll be able to earn this early on to live out your days easily? So have you done this? or are you still saving up?
Thats an awesome plan mart. I like that "will watch your money grow like a group of hippies in a face painting tent." lol that was great.
Thanks, Day 4! I am going to the head shop today, but I am not gonna buy any pieces I need some incense, haha but when I see those sweet bongs I'm gonna be like grrr. We might get some salvia up there but I dont know.
I've always heard the first three days are the hardest? Not necessarily so in my experience, but I've never been dry due to a desire to lay off, so after a few days of waiting, I get REAL antsy, bitchy, whiney, unpleasant.
Well fuck, I went out to buy an energy drink with a friend, we ran across 2 people from the circle up there buying a blunt shell and going to the park. I told them I was on a break they was like damnit we have some fire too. Well what do you think I did, I went and got stoned. Damn that break didnt last long. But I still dont want it as bad as I did. That was the purpose of the break. So yeah... EDIT: I am definately going back to being a weekend toker tho.
i havent done it yet, im only on the first few steps of what im sure will be a massive undertaking. i dont fix houses or anything, i just know someone who used this exact same strategy to get where he is today, and hes living life pretty fucking comfortabley. i know i can earn this much early on, because im going to work like a demon to get it. living like a monk for a few years is fine by me if it means i can retire at 30. my long term goal is to have enough houses rented out to be able to buy a house out in the country, away from noisy towns and dirty people, where i can relax and do what i like for the rest of my life, grow my own bud and laugh at all the red faced slaves who still work for some corporate fucking jobsworth. i cant wait.
