Have you thought about seeing a counselor?  There isnt a drug in the world that will cover up what is really going on inside you.  Using is only a symptom of what is going on....

You have to really want to quit this.  Cutting ties with your supplier will have to be done.  Are you under a lot of stress?

I was wondering if there was some herbal supplement I could take to help me to get thru the first week or so.  I smoke to make the rest of the life & problems fade away, but the next day the problems are still there.

Hi,

Do you mean like a pill or something to curb the cravings? I'm not sure what you are asking but I don't think there is anything available to help you stop other then maybe getting to the root of why you smoke it. In other words, if you like getting high then you have little incentive to want to stop. But if you are smoking it to cover up feelings or something along those lines, you may want to get to the bottom of that and learn some new coping skills.

I don't think I was much help but I do wish you the best.
