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?

Yea, I feel that way too. It's like everyone I have been around or end up with smokes pot or does other drugs. It's hard to stay clean myself when that all I'm around. It's hard for me to find sober people to be around, especially in my situation having to live with whoever is willing to take me in. It seems EVERYONE in this world does drugs or smokes to me. But that's just my life and all I've been around or put myself around I guess. I relate more to those people. I'm wondering too if I stay clean, how's that gonna work? Who's gonna want to hang with me? Or maybe I"ll just have to hang with smokers and be strong enough not to do it myself I don't know. But then you feel out of place you know? Not sure what to tell ya. Benny

The reasons you stated are why I sought out marijuana anonymous, to find clean and sober pot heads (like me) so I could relate to someone and someone could relate to me, and slowly this expanded to where I now feel like I "fit in" the world a WHOLE lot better than when I was out there stoned 24/7 for years of my life :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
