Hi all

I haved smoked cannibis for a few years as a regular thing, after work to relax, same goes for my partner - but i know i cannot make him give up, but i want to do this for myself. So today is day 1 and i need to stay strong and all i can do is set an example for my partner. I have tried before and failed - as i find its easier to keep the habit when your partner or friends smoke - how does one stay strong when someone else is using!!! xx

Hi Pamjit,

I've been off the forum for several months, but I remember back then you were asking the same questions and always at day 1. Do you really want to quit or maybe you just like the idea but are afraid to do the work?

Sending clarity,
Lucy

Hi. First of all, congratulations to you for recognizing the addiction and wanting a better life! You can only be responsible for yourself..once you have accomplished beating the control weed has over you - then you can help your partner. For now you need to help you!!!! I used to have an assistant that I smoked with regularly - I mean every day all day. I saw a reason to get sober cause I wanted a different kind of life..one that was clear and optimal. She didn't so we made a deal to respect each others desires and she would go to another area of the building or I would go away for a while. i began to make a mental association that the smell and the look in her eyes was not relaxing but rather it was really making you function at a lower brain level and checking out of reality for a while..this was no longer appealing to me so it got easier and easier. Decide that you want to be successful in all areas of your life. Find a hero..I LOVE Anthony Robbins..people like that do not get in there own way as addicts do! DECIDE what you really want..YOU CAN DO IT. It's been done by millions...why not you? God Bless
