I had quit MJ for more or less 3 months, as it wasn't available to me in the countries I was in. I did have a few slips with hash (just 3-4 times in those months). THEN...I was sent back to the US against my will and within an hour of landing, I had a J in my mouth. And for a few days following that, I smoked constantly. See, I live in a state/county where it's just as available as alcohol.
Now, I have to get a job and most drug test, although believe it or not, some state right in the ad for the job that they DO NOT test for THC.
I know I'm and addict and I know I need to quit, it's just so tempting and ALL AROUND me.
I have 2 days free of MJ....I made it so my MJ quit date was the same as my AA sobriety date...but I am soo tempted all the time. I am serious when I say it's all around me.
How do I stay quit in these circumstances????

when i first stopped 14 and half months ago, my boyfriend smoked it around me constantly for first couple of months,
but i really wanted to stay stopped,
and was so relieved id managed to stop{id wanted to for ages and couldnt do it} that i did it.
i often sat on my own when his friends were round smoking too, cause i felt annoyed,
in the end it got too much and i stopped him smoking infront of me,
but if i wanted some now ,i could get some in a very short space of time, i choose not too
because after all the hard work ive gone too stopping and staying stopped, it is really paying off now, and im a lot happier without mj.
well done on your 2 days, dont stop, its not easy but its been worth it for me, and im sure others on this site who have stopped will agree.
I attend AA/NA for extra support, its not for everyone but i find it helpful especially in staying stopped.
keep posting and let us know how its going.
Keep focusing on the positives of quitting, all the good changes you see from not smoking. if you catch yourself tempted, write a list of things that are good about not smoking to try and change your mind
