I am so proud of you... you have some big obstacles around you that's for sure lol. Comin' from a puffer of about 15 years, every day straight through those years, I can tell ya it's very hard to quit lol. But you're doin' it and you are doin' great. I totally agree with you when you say that you're not as moody when you don't smoke anymore. I was very grouchy sometimes cuz the smoke would make me tired alot and when I'm tired, I'm cranky. Now that I've been tryin' to find a job, I quit about 2 months ago. Only worked at Kmart for 2 weeks and now I'm jobless again... thank god I didn't give into hubby passin' me one or I would be startin' all over again. It takes 30 days for that **** to get outta your blood stream for a drug test.
You are always in my prayers, take care and god bless u.
Luvs ya and hugs,

I never knew quiting smoking weed was so hard. My b/f smokes EVERYDAY and I think it's disgusting. I would love nothing better for him to quit or at least cut WAAAAAY back, any suggestions?
It would really have to be up to him if he is going to quit ....
yea, not alot of people realize that quitting something they have relyed on so long is hard...Im not doing too bad though, actually just always trying to make sure I stay in check with myself...and I do that alot on the board here......and all the updates..so I can lie to myself....or at least try and make some kind of safety network for myself............just like I did with the pills or doing with the pills...I havent completly quit but I dont abuse them either......only when necessary.....
but really, it would have to be up to him....really......it has to come from within.....I wish I could help other than that.....this is all pretty new to me too...I have done this once and managed to stay within a program for a few years however I had my kids then..and using wasnt an option however when they left I swore I would never see another day sober unless I was with them....I have changed since then..so I dont know lol
Best of luck to you and WELCOME!!

Hey, I am new to this. I have been an avid pot smoker since I was about 14 years old. I am 24 now. My husband has been secretly addicted to pain pills (vicodin 10's) for a while now. We would take them just to get a new high every once in a while, but he was doing it at least every other day. Well, today is his third day off of the pills and my second day off of pot. We finally realized after all these years that we were hurting ourselves. He is going through withdrawals. I feel fine, but I am worried about him. He hasn't done anything but cry for two days. He can't sleep, or eat. I was wondering what I can do to help him, and how long this is going to last. Thanks for your time.
This may go on for some time for him..
There are things that can help him though...liek almo acid thing.....you can find a bunch of imformation that you can get from everyone here......
He will not sleep and may need somethign to help him sleep...taking pills can affect him that way......being restless and such...also what he eats can help too.......Like sticking to fruits and veggies and good rich meat and such....Green tea will help...peppermint tea will ease stomach issues...and imodium can help with the bowels..
Well..dependiong on how long he used..and how much these sytems can last up for weeks....or if its less and he works on all of those other things..it can only be a few days...it all depends on his boday
Drink plenty of water..and find things that cna help him and you replace the drugs with somethign healthy...if your goign to take away the negative find a positive....
I hope some of this infomation helps and I will be around to answer anything else when I can.....and WElcome...
I know for me it hasnt been bad quitting the pot I jones here and there but nothing like the pills..that'sf or sure

Thank you for answering me. This is so scary. Again, thanks.
No troubles at all................................
thanks for the info. I never really knew pot was addictive till i met him. On top of that we have been fighting oxy's for about a yr now and longer for him, but before that it was vicodine 10 mg and when those didn't work like everyone eles we went to oxy's. I am now on my 4th time trying to get clean and am on day 2 with suboxine I have 8mg, but cut it into 4 and take a quater as needed (i have not gotten professional help). What have you been trying to get off and what are you on?
Thanks
I used to take about 1600 - 2000 mg of oxys a day habit down to taking the odd perc here and there..plus I was a daily potsmoker but have recently quit that....I dont think I need it anymore...nor do I want it in my life..and yes there is a mis conception that pot isnt addictive..it is..and causes depression and server in some...and anger fits..I know the anger was a big one for me until I got high............................and always needed a fix to take the edge off..and sometimes one wasnt even enough...
I still take percs for pain managment and for a while I struggled quite abit with those choices however I have found some peace with it..and I have alot of support around me right now....
I'm heading out now.........other people are in line for the computer......and I have to get things done around here..thinking of hitting a meeting tonight.........Not sure yet though.......Anyways I will be around tomorrow........
Happy Thoughts and Prayers to you
Love
