When smoking a little too much weed turns in to a real drug problem

hey, i went through the weed situation 2 years ago, got involved with sniff but weed was the real balllache to drop. Basically what you have to realize is that noone is better at tricking you than yourself. You need to tell someone who does not have a drug habit about your problems, so they have a completely objective outlook on it. Think about it, before you started any drugs you probably looked at other addicts like absolute dickheads. So imagine how you look now. The next step is just to cut down, if you are extremely strong willed go cold turkey but this can mean depression and a feeling that you NEED drugs to make you happy. The easiest way i think to cut down is to stop doing it alone, smoke only with big groups of friends to keep your sanity. The next step is replacing your time spent smoking, i', assuming quite a lot of your day is ta\ken up by it, so you do it because you have nothing else to do. Join a club, it doesn't have to be sport (although that would use energy and make sleep come easier) it can be anything which makes your mind not think about the drugs. Now the last step can either be to quit full stop, or the other step which is just as fine is to stick to your guns. Your mind might convince you "oh just one joint alone before bed, i feel back to my normal old self again" but this cycle which be endless and pretty soon you'll be back where you started. Wow i feel so preachy and bossy but i just know how hard it is and how badly it can affect your mind mostly. Much love and i hope you get through this soon :) btw i smoke a joint or 2 every other Saturday night now so yeah just incase you were wondering. wow long post.
