So the main reason I quit smoking was so that I could get back together with my girlfriend. I cheated on her and confessed while I was in Mexico with my parents and decided there I would do whatever I had to to get her back. I stayed clean for over a month which was the longest I've ever been able to abstain on my own. Then I found out she wasn't going to move back to Montana and said "fuck it, I might as well get high" like I have done so many times before. That was probably over a month ago and now I'm right back where I started; back in the rut with no idea how to start getting out. I'm worried about what it's going to take for me to actually quit again. Until I had a clear ultimatum of quitting or losing the only girl I've really loved, I had been "on the fence" for a long time about whether or not I wanted to quit. I will always know that I'm a better person when I'm not smoking, but when I am it's so hard to convince myself that I don't want to get high and to take that first step towards clear mindedness. I really hope I can keep my shit together this time around. I don't want to watch my life go by cause I'm too high to get up and do the things I want to do.

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.

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...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
It seems when our motivation to quit changes, we need new reasons to stay clean. What worked for me was the accountability of a 12 step program, specifically marijuana anonymous. I get excited to think of someone who is realizing at a young age that this pot smoking isn't helping them become the person they want to be, instead of going on as is and creating more wreckage reinforcing the cycle of saying "F(*& it" and getting high all the time, putting a stop to it and becoming a product of ones goals and not ones substance abuse.
