How did you quit smoking weed?
Yes weed is addictive, it's a mental addiction. It's not a physcial addiction,but it's really strong to kick- but you can do it. You need to find within yourself why you do it other than the feeling of being high. Sometimes it's the people around you that you need to kick too. When I quit, for good reasons, my friends were there to help me. They wouldn't smoke around me and wait to smoke til after we all hung out. If your friends aren't that courteous, you may need to kick them, I've had to do it too. In the long run they should either know why, or you may not need them at all. Delete all contacts, you know, your bud man, people you may sell to, or smoke with, and let them know you're quitting. If they ever don't take you seriously, or call you out on it, kick them too. It's kicking the habit, and they are apart of it. If it's stress or they way you wind down, or go to sleep, find a good substitute. Don't give yourself the time of day, or opportunity, to go blaze. Do all the research about how bad weed can be, and evangelize yourself. Realize that when you quit, you have more money, more breathe, not get as sick as often, etc. I hope this helps you get started. Just understand weed is one of the easiest substances that you abuse and can relapse on.
How did you quit smoking?
I'm on day 9 right now. I have quit a couple times before and alcohol broke my quit everytime. So I have given up alcohol and I no longer hang out with my alcohol and smoking friends in the evening. I started working out too. I joined 24 hour fitness and started walking and jogging in the morning. You will have to figure out your triggers----alcohol is mine. Good Luck to you!

How does it feel after you quit smoking?
You feel like you hate yourself a little less -- or a lot less -- depending on how much you hated yourself to begin with.You find it hard to believe you've gone an hour, a day, a week, whatever, without smoking, but you are fairly sure you will probably smoke again. Just as you have before, time and again. You don't admit this to anyone.You start noticing smells -- positive and negative. If you have a cat, you notice that you really need to change that cat litter more. If you have a little dog you discover where he has been marking all this time. Conversely, you smell soap in the shower -- and soap on other people. You start calculating how much money you've saved so far. If you're typical, you find a way to spend that on something that might not be that healthy.You swear you will never become one of those disagreeable, critical ex-smokers. But if you quit smoking long enough, you find you have less and less patience with friends who just want to run out and smoke during this great story you were telling ...If you drink too much or get too high, you probably will say, "Screw it" and smoke again. But if you don't hate yourself too much, you might actually be able to lie to yourself the next day and tell yourself that the little relapse didn't really count.If you gain a little weight, you will be surprised how quickly you lose it again if only you cut down on drinking as a way not to start smoking again.You feel less guilty.You also feel less connected to some people with whom you've stood outside at work or outside restaurants, talking and smoking.Your lover, who hated smoking, will wistfully mention how "you used to take breaks." You begin to suspect that actually he or she just liked having something to bitch at you about. You may be right.You may start again.If you do, quitting again will be easier, not harder, because quitting smoking, even for a time, will ruin your future smoking forever.Here's the medical disclaimer.

Should I quit smoking before Basic Training?
I'm hoping to ship for Basic/Boot Camp this spring. I know there are no tobacco products allowed and wanted to know, should I quit well in advance, or have one last puff of freedom before I hop on the plane? How many people here shipped off as a smoker? And when/how did you quit?
