Hello, I am a 56 year old man that is horribly addicted to weed. I have been smoking it since I was 15. I started smoking it before I had sex, to enhance the sex. Now Im addicted to porn as well. I really really want to quit so bad. It has really hurt my life and myself. Just when I get to the point of saying "enough", I get sucked back in. I feel helpless. I have a wonderful girlfriend who loves me, but I don't know how to tell her I'm addicted. She thinks I smoke it like once a year. I hide all my usage. I'm embarrassed. I think "oh I just will smoke alittle before sex, and then it turns into every day to the point of being so out of it, all I want to do is masterbate to porn. I cry because I feel like such a loser. I want to quit so bad. Not sure how.
I am glad you have the courage to share your story. I think both weed, and porn addiction are both independent addictions but I see the relationship. I'm ChickenInTheCorn sharing my experience. This chicken thinks an effective way which worked for him, was to reduce the potency of the weed smoked. Meaning, say there's top, mid, and bottom shelf, dirt weed. (If you smoke tobacco with weed stop now i.e. blunts) If you smoke top shelf, go to mid, then bottom, then dirt weed, What happens is it becomes unworthy the time and effort. I think the addiction reduces slowly because the high thc is fading gradually... And when you get sick of smoking dirt weed (it is not enjoyable!) stop and don't turn back!! Try to be open about smoking after awhile, a compassionate person will not judge but empathize.
