One of the major reasons why i want to quit smoking weed is because Im doing alone when i should be doing things that are helpfull to me; ie) school work, making friends. Smoking is also making me feel paranoid about myself with regards to looks and my accomplishments, when really im not that bad off I dont think.
My question is: is it dangerous/counterproductive to still smoke socially when you're trying to quit smoking for these reasons.
I havnt been continuously stealing or manipulating anyone to get weed...I haven't hurt anyone but myself with my drug use. I just want to quit to have some more control over my life and make friends for once in university....
what do you all think? Am I being stupid and making excuses to justify smoking pot? ...to me it feels like i am accomplishing something when Im able to smoke pot WITH people, laugh and have fun...
:( i need someone to help me with all of this thinking im doing....

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...
You know yourself and you seem to know that you can't handle smoking weed (i just read your journal entry too).
I can very much relate to what you are saying.
It is NOT an achievement to get stoned and have fun with people. It IS an achievment to just have fun with people though.
Maybe the truth is that you don't really want to quit weed so you are trying to justify it. I do it all the time too!! i want to quit, but I want it to be painless. Which is impossible!
Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
Those who linger over weed,
Who go to sample mixed bowls,
Do not gaze at the smoldering embers,
when it crackles in the pipe,
when it goes in smoothly!
In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
Your eyes may see strange sights
and your mind imagine confusing things.
You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
"They hit me," you will say "but I'm not hurt!
They beat me, but I don't feel it!
When will I wake up so I can find another joint?"
