withdrawl from pot

Question

Once you have ruined the ability to be a social user can you ever get that back? I have smoked for many years but would like to be able to once in awhile. I did used to drink alot and fear that is will I will head back into or will sobriety be my only way?

you have a routine issue. it is part of day to day life, so thats what you do. you will have to cut pot out.

I was advised that once one turns from a cucumber into a pickle (user to addict) there isn't any 'going back'. It's different for each of us but, in my opinion, I would set my sights on how to achieve sobriety instead of how to revert to a 'social user'. Just my thoughts, is all. :)

The key for me is not having access to it.  I am a heavy pot smoker, but can easily travel without it for several days and have even stopped for months at a time when I was applying for life insurance.  As crazy as it sounds, we keep it locked up (my husband is an occasional smoker only) and he takes the key with him to work. (Otherwise, I come up with a b.s. reason that I "had" to smoke and end up staying baked all day.)  And then he gives me the key after our son goes to bed and I smoke a bowl to unwind.  That way I am not panicking about not having any, so I can enjoy the evening with my family.  (But that is not to say that sometimes I don't meet him at the door begging for "the key" if I have had a crazy day!)  He is really cool about it, because he knows that it helps me, and it was my idea and not his, so I don't feel like it is a punishment for not being able to control it.  And hopefully, at some point I won't need him to do that for me.
