day #2 quitting marijuana

[betterlife]

today is my second day after many many many attempts to quit smoking.
i have horrible cravings and am isolated from the world.
i know support helps but i have none.
i feel like i am caving in and am so close to smoking!
i know that smoking has majorly had a negative effect on my life but it wont stop me.
i also know that if i never quit,my problems will only worsen.
i have all these dreams but something inside tells me getting there is impossible.
i have locked myself up in order to not smoke and am feeling horrible.
i dont want to do.
please help.

Just know that if you do go back to smoking..
Things will only be worse..
and WHEN you do decide to quit smoking again..
YOU will be ALOT more angry with yourself..
Trust me I KNOW, I'm on Day 3, it's hard, but you have to fight it !
Think about how much better your life will be if you stay clean AND achieve all of the goals you plan on achieving

YOU HAVE TO FIND ACTIVITES TO DO AT THE VERY MOMENT YOU WANT TO SMOKE, it can be anything, as long as it takes your mind off smoking, good luck, know YOU are not alone at all!

Hi betterlife welcome.

I know smoking’s easier in the short term, but you have got to think long term mate. You are not alone there are so many out there in the same boat, I hope we can offer you some support. The cravings will get better, it’s just something that you have to go through, but it won’t last for long. I know the isolation sucks, I was in the same position myself, I just wanted to shut myself off from the world. It didn’t get better until I quit. Well done on your efforts so far.

Take care, hang in there and please keep us posted on how it goes.

Struggling to make sense of what to do....
Trying to work....doing nothing
I'm going to keep going as I know I have wasted my life
Missed out on so much
I feel so alone as no one knows I smoked weed let alone had a problem.
Starting to feel I'm better off out of my sons life

Hang in there better, today is my third day without weed and I feel just like you do. I know what its like to be high (been doing it for 30+ years) trying to give myself a chance to see what life is like without it.

It's hard for sure. I just cleared the week mark. I also feel like I want to give life a chance without it and I know it's going to take a while for the withdrawal to clear up. It's not accurate for me to say right now that this is what life is like without it. It's just what life is like in withdrawal. Curiosity in this regard is my strongest motivation. Every other motive my brain can just dance circles of justification around, but my brain can't deny that the only way to see what life is like without it is to stay off and away from it for a fair time past the fog lifting. This forum has helped, even when I'm just reading and not posting and even when I just navigate to the page and think in frustration, "I'm not even going to read anything because I'm so sick and tired of spending so much time thinking about (not) smoking!" and close the window pretty quickly. I still know all the other contributors are out there and that my struggle is not as unique and special as it can feel in the worst times.
