Funny excuses for relapsing

[Unregistered]

Hello good folks,

First off if must thank all you posters and moderators for making a great forum. This site made my decision to quit easy.

But ... I have quitted many, many times before. And always my mind creates a stupid excuse for getting another "last bag". This has happened too many times to mention.

Last bag I got was because I wanted my apartment clean and tidy before starting the withdrawal process. I figured I was not going to be able to clean my apartment while having abstinences.

Well, you think my apartment was nice and tidy after that bag? Nope, I just had a weed/videogame/icecream binge that lasted for 4 days, and after that my apartment was filthy and disgusting.


So what is your stupid excuse for getting another "last bag"?

Finished cleaning up my apartment know. It felt like a momentous task, but now even my windows are shining - and I feel fickung good!

Another stupid excuse for relapsing:

I dont have any weed, but its a waste throwing away papers and tobacco, so if I get a bag of weed I can finish up the papers and tobacco.

LOL, yeah that is a good one. It’s interesting with the cleaning thing, many people find themselves cleaning when they quit I guess it’s a great way to expel some nervous energy and feel you are doing something productive, plus I guess after many years of smoking many of our places need it, I know mine did, LOL.

My stupid excuse was "What if for some legitimate reason I need to start smoking again and my dealer has disappeared?" The idea of keeping a special stash in case of any "emergency". I guess the thought that I might have a "legitimate reason" to start again is kind of pathetic but I have told myself that if something horrible happened to my husband or sister, I would let myself start up again and just live with being a pothead because I don't know how else I would handle the pain. That's what I did more than 15 years ago when my parents died and me and my sister found ourselves on our own. I couldn't handle the horror so I just blotted it out with pot and xanax and kept trucking through life. In some ways, I think it was good because I DID truck through life. But now I"m afraid of anything horrible like that happening again to the people I love the most because I don't think I can handle it sober. So sometimes I feel like I should keep something around "just in case" - like an epi-pen. But I know that's stupid. I'm not deathly allergic to horrible emotions - just scared of them.

Yeah, the cleaning thing too..

OP here:

Sure ... hehe

I remember a Seinfeld episode where Jerry tells about "Morning Jerry" and "Night Jerry". At night he didnt want to sleep, and in the morning all he wanted to do was to sleep. This schizofrenia shows in my relationship with marijuana as well. Sometimes I absolutely love and enjoy it, but at other times I really hate it.

I guess what I really want is to have a balanced life where I smoke a maximum of one time per week. But in order to gain control over weed I need a long break.

Another stupid excuse I have had:

Its sunday and I slept in late. I will have trouble sleeping tonight if i dont get more weed and I want to have a good nights sleep before starting a new work week.

i tend to get another bag with the plan of having it smoked by monday to start the week fresh and straight. Even if on Sunday morning i decide i havent got enough to last the day. I could just ration myself instead but no-because it is (my millionth) 'last smoke' i feel ok to indulge. "I'll just spend the day wasted,doing nothing,eating crappy food because tomorrow is my quit day so i will clean and eat healthy"
ha ha ha it would be funny if not so pathetic...like the me of tomorrow will be a super version of myself instead of one waking up to a new week with a massive pot and sugar hangover and a crapload of chores to do...

For a while now i have also been buying my smoke in $20 bags with the idea that this slows me down. A big bag of weed is too enjoyable and my self control is non existant. Also by buying small deals I know I am 'ripping myself off' and have it in my head that eventually I'll get sick of this and just quit. Hmmm.

Love this thread,nice 1 to the person who started it!
Ok so the following is sad but true...

When something good happens the addict part of my brain says "Let's celebrate with pot!"
When I do something good it's "Let's reward that with pot!"
When something bad happens it's "Let's feel better with some pot!"
When I do something bad it's "Let's distance that with pot!"
When nothing is happening it's "Fk it,let's get some pot!"

Got it all covered,good on me :/

This is a great thread! I can relate to what some people have posted. My recent excuse for getting a very tiny amount of weed was because it was my birthday. Of course I had to smoke alone on my birthday...what fun is that! But in reality I know it is not fun. I find that excuses pop up after I have been clean for about two weeks. Then since it has been so long, it must be time to smoke.
