I cant stop smoking weed, can anyone give me any thought what to do?
Alright so basically i started smoking weed since i was just about 11 going onto 12. I’m now 14, as ive gotten older my interest in it has also really grown. As it is now I’ve been smoking everyday for about a year. from when i was 13 to about 14, before that i really wasnt using solidly at all, not even once a month. I always told myself when i first started that “oh weed isn’t addicting, you can do it without getting hooked” small did i know you can basically get addicted to anything. That is through a mental dependence.
For the past month or so ive been tiresome to quit. I say im going to, make it like 2 days then i reckon to myself oh well if i smoke up with some buddies just today since i haven’t in a while. Then i end up back onto doing it everyday again.The sad thing is that i make up all these excuses for why i smoke weed up in my head, my life my problems, my relationship with my family, my grades everything since i come from a family with a grade 9 sister who is in a grade 10 program with straight A’s and my brother excels in electronics and gets A’s and B’s i feel alot of pressure to do as excellent as them, when i know i lack their natural talent. and i use weed to not remember about it. But smoking weed everyday has made my entire life an escape from what is really going on. This year in teach I’m skipping class all the time which I’ve never done before, failed nearly all my classes and my attention span in teach has greatly diminished. Im unable to focus properly or even do my homework because i just dont know, everytime i try i do a few questions then realize how much i have to do, and place my books away. My interest in things like chilling with friends, skateboarding i can no longer do, because whenever we just sit around and talk there’s always that small thing in my head saying “This would be better if i was high.” I crave it all the time when im not on it and i feel like shit when i do. i feel like if i keep going this way ill never be able to get out of this stupid habit. I really just want to go back to having it once in a while. But at this point i didnt reckon i can do that anymore because ill just end up doing it everyday again.
The real reason i started was because it was so much fun, and it felt so natural to me to just smoke weed and made me pleased that i may possibly delight in myself at that level. To me its nearly comparable to being with my girlfriend, and i like her and like hanging out with whenever i can. I dont need weed when im with her. But i cant depend on her to allow me to quick my habit. It also really helped me quit ecstasy which i hadn’t become to addicted too at the time but i realized that i was already heading that way. ( btw i started doing ecstasy when i was 12, then quit when i was 13 and started smoking weed ) Then once i started smoking weed that craving for it vanished. I haven’t done it again ever since.
Now that I’ve replaced that addiction i want to get rid of this one. But it’s always simpler to quit something when you have another drug to fall back on. Also i was never doing ecstasy as frequently as i smoke weed. At this stage i believe Ive become needy on it.
My girlfriend right now is really pleased that im tiresome to quit, but i haven’t told her how terrible it is. Im tired of lying about this and i really want to leave it behind me. Last year i had splendid friends all clean excellent at teach and now i have excellent friends that nearly all of them smoke weed or something, i realize that might be the root of my problems but these people are my right friends, they like me for what i really am, not some fake kid tiresome to be something i wasn’t.
My mom is literally at her last straw with me and she’s already tried kicking me out probably over 6 times but let me come back because i said id smarten up. She’s told me this is the last chance i got and i have to point out, but that really isn’t the reason i want to quit, i want to quit for me and my health, my life, my sanity. I really feel like weed helped me find the person i wanted to be, but i reckon ill truely find that once i quit.
Please if anyone can give me any advice at all id be in debt.
Also i dont wanna hear any shit like you shouldnt of started in the first place, you know what im getting at. I already know all about it so i dont need you wasting your time cause i wont even bother reading it.
Thanks !
What is the best way to convince someone to stop smoking?
well my sister smokes(like a chimney!)and i like her dearly i would just die if anything happened to her(no joke)so i know smoking is really terrible for you and stuff because it hurts your lungs and so,but she just won’t listen to me what can i do/say to convince her to stop smoking?!?!
thanks in advance and pleased new year!
Both my in laws were 4 packs a day smokers. I couldn’t go in their house for 5 minutes without coughing violently.
When my mother in law finally was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (stage 4 means no hope left in terms of cancer) while she went through behavior to try to extend her life, my father in law quit so she wouldn’t be exposed to more smoke. But when she died in small time, he went right back to smoking at the same rate.
All smokers die a smoking death. Make sure you share this with your sister.
One of my neighbors died in his 70′s and had renowned him to be healthy and robust and always cheerful. When I consoled his widow I questioned if he had been sick and sure sufficient he had lung cancer. I was rather shocked since I had renowned them a long time and never renowned either to smoke so I questioned how he got that. She said they both used to smoke and stopped in the early 70′s as soon as it came out that smoking may possibly kill you, but it was too late for him and 30 years later his cancer from it finally developed and he died.
So all that nonsense about for every 10 years you haven’t smoked your risk of a smoking death going down decreases is nonsense. Your sister is PLANNING her death and I would treat it as seriously as her writing a suicide note.
And do not ever go around her when she’s smoking because the effects to you are just as serious.
How to tell someone you like to stop smoking?
My Dad smokes all the time, he always tell me and my siblings never ever do them. But I know that smoking leads to lung cancer and eventually death, I am very worried about his life style, I see many cigarette packs in the car and I can get the guts to tell him to stop. What do I do?

How do I get someone to stop smoking?
How can I tell someone to stop smoking? She knows all the facts (it gives you cancer, emphysema, etc.), but she is young, so she still has that invincible mentality. What can I tell her about smoking’s cosmetic effects that will make her consider quitting? (besides the usual stains your teeth and your hands)
Thanks!
You cant MAKE someone stop smoking if they don’t want to. If she knows all the facts about what smoking can do to you then she is certainly addicted. The most effective way of stopping smoking is through multiple sessions of hypnotherapy. This process deals with the physical aspects of the addiction and the psychological aspects. Most stop smoking techniques don’t tackle the psychology which is why they are so ineffective. Willpower alone is about 4% successful, nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum etc) are about 5% successful, multi session hypnotherapy can be up to 85% successful.
Hypnotherapy is only worth doing if your friend really wants to stop, its pointless doing it if she doesn’t want to stop.
How do you get someone to stop smoking?
My sister has just taken up smoking within this past year and I have been tiresome to make her realize how much of a horrible habit it is. I have said everything I can from my knowledge but she still continues. What is something I can say to get her to stop smoking and so she can see it is not healthy. Thank you!
What worked for a friend of mine was seeing his Grandma remove her ‘iron lung’ from her throat to hit a cigarette through the hole in her neck.

It’s excellent you want to help your sister, but remember you can’t really make someone do something. In some way she’s got it in her head that it’s cool, maybe you can question someone you know she respects to talk to her.
