Living with a stoner

Yes, this is my current situation. The way I look at it is how bad do I really want to quit? How solid is my desire to stay sober? Having my roommates bong on the coffee table doesn’t effect me much because I don’t want to smoke. Having people around me doesn’t affect me because I don’t want to smoke.

I think it comes down to how strongly I feel and how secure my thinking is in that I don’t want this habit that I can’t regulate in a healthy manner in my life anymore.

The times I have relapsed it wasn’t because of the paraphernalia it was because I wanted to enjoy it with my friends. Understanding that yes hitting a blunt with my buddies while we’re chilling one night can be fun, but what does that one night mean for me the next day. The next week? The next month?

Every time I’ve found it means I fall right back down into that trap of daily use. Acknowledging my lack of self control and understanding that smoking one night starts the snowball rolling down hill until eventually it’s too big to control.

Hope that helps and I wish you continued strength in making the choices you want to make.
