hi all
new here,,looking for some advice on stopping this sad sad drug.
not a hard user as such usually once or twice a month but sometimes once a week.
been doing it for about 14 years now and fed up with it,but just cant seem to leave it alone.
i,m fine all week,but as soon as friday or saturday night comes a switch seems to click in my head and BAM!!! i want it and usually get it.
next day i call myself every name under the sun and think what i could've bought with the £40 to £60 pounds i've spent.
compared to some my addiction aint that bad but even one is too much.
i know it's wrong but it just seems to take hold.
i have a lovely wife and 3 boys.
my wife knows but she hates it worrying it's gonna kill me.
trying to explain how it is to someone who hasn't done it is soooo hard(they just don't understand).
longest i've gone without is 8 months and after i went back on it i felt like sh*t.
any advice and support would be very much appreciated.

Hi, welcome to the site
If, after 14 years,
you only use 2-5 times a month,
I don't see any reason why,
you should have any problem saying no for good.
After 14 years, 2-5 times a month,
shows incredible restraint, in itself.
Peace
Lynn
_________________ If you can not stand for something, you will fall for everything
but the restraint is mainly down to my wife if i was single i think it would be a different matter, i just don't understand why my brain seems to switch over to really wanting it and other times i can think "i wont bother this week" just gave up the weed after 19 years and that was easier
the worse thing is when i'm smoking it,,i get so paranoid,and afterwards i feel so so guilty,,i hate not beaing able to sleep,,the next day i can't eat anything cos it burns the roof of my mouth,,when i look back on the night before i realise how pathetic i must look,,searching the floor for the smallest little crumb.
it makes me feel like crawling in somewhere and just not existing.
all this from a little use,,i so feel for you guys who are bang on it,,it makes my heart bleed to think what you lot are going through.
i feel my problem is so unsubstantial.
how can i moan about my situation when there are people on here so worse off than me.
i wish you all the best of luck with this.
it creates so much pleasure,,but so much pain.
so many highs,,but much more lows.
