I recently quit smoking, AGAIN. And probably like many of you, weed amongst other things has made me popular, made me many friends, and has given me so many memories and good times, allowing for me to meet alot of interesting people that I probably would not have otherwise met. However I have seen some of my best friends get dragged down, so low that I don't know if they will ever pull themselves back out. I for one can see what the drug does to me in the long run, thus why I have quit again. I am a very shy person at first when meeting new people but otherwise very outgoing. The best way I have found to stay clean and sober is to rid myself of the situation and the people that use. Which is very hard because that is pretty much everyone I know or used to associate with. Most of the people that I do know that don't use, I just can't see myself relating to. Thus I have a hard time finding new friends and people to take place of the relationships I had when using. I feel this shouldn't be that hard living and going to school in a college town. So when I'm sober I seem to confine myself to, class, work, and my nice apartment. I would like to meet new people and develope lasting relationships but find it very hard to find people who can relate to me.
Just wondering if there are people out there who feel the same way and if so what have you done to help?
