…..my life once upon a time was good, it really was! I didn’t need substances to keep me happy or going, for I was content……. but then that day i’ll never forget I smoked some weed and got really stoned. YEAP I GOT FUCKED!!I remember it seemed pretty harmless at the time, why would it not? This was my first experience of the drug and it really blew my mind! IT WAS THE SHIT, I FUCKING LOVED IT, had I found pure escapism? We
as humans travel the worlds to enrich our minds with deep experiences but ultimately isn’t it all just chemistry & electricity inside our brains! Hence I ask what’s the difference between finding pure harmony onlooking a beautiful waterfall or taking a few toaks from a spliff passed to you by your buddy on a gloomy afternoon on quiet street corner? Quite simply, one of them would wow your friends & family on Facebook while the other option tends to lead to introvertedness and ultimately walk the plank or path of slow death. Too extreme? Now at this point I must make a distinction and clarify that I don’t believe that smoking weed is a problem, it’s the fucking addiction part that’s the problem!
Now back then I wasn’t a junkie or addict but had I found pure escapism? Yes I had, but at what unknown cost had I found it. Now I hate to take it back to first principles, after all what’s the need to step into the Delorean accelerate to 88 MPH to go back in time, are the answers really there? By going back there will I learn anything useful that would help me quit this addiction bringing myself in line with everyone else? Maybe…. we’ll see…
I notice something very interesting as I write this blog! …. notice all the open unanswered questions? Hmmmm I think there you have proof i really do need to get a grip of this, cos i’m not really sure what’s going on because i’ve been smoking so much of this green shit it’s starting to fuck with my head. As for why I’m writing about it I think that it’s time I really looked into what’s been going on behind the scenes of my drug addiction.
I’ve titled this blog “HOWIQUIT.COM” but in truth I’m not sure where this is gonna go. I aim to study this topic in detail and log my thoughts as they unravel this self created mystery of mine. So maybe some answers are in the past maybe even in the post but for certain it lies here in the now and 100% all in my mind whatever time frame.
“It is commonly said that marijuana isn’t physically addictive but mentally addictive…”
I couldn’t agree with this any more. So I smoke weed pretty much all the fucking time, if it’s mentally addictive say like a bad habbit i should be able to kick the habit with my mind…That said, easier said than done :S
Hey Bud,
I smoked draw fo like 16 years & I kicked that shit 4 years ago and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done! It’s not just my head, but my entire body feels clean as the day i was born! So i would say keep going with yo shit, you’ll only ever learn about yourself more.
PEACE!
hey i just found your blog
I’ve been trying to stop this bad habbit for ages also, it’s very difficult once you start being regular.
Your story sounds like me 🙂 Goodluck
