Answer 1

The only way you can get off......starts with you. You really have to want to stop. If you're only half-heartly comitted, then you won't stop. You have to have a lifestyle change.....starts with changing your friends if they do it.......and quitting cold turkey. Again, all this depends on if you REALLY want to stop. Also, you need to consider the guilt by association thing.......if you're with people who do drugs......even if you're not doing drugs....everyone is caught.....you're guilty just by being with them....whether you think that's fair or not. That is why I said you need to change friends. Think of things like this......the choices you make while you're young,,, will affect you for the rest of your life....think about all this......and make your decision and stick with it. best of luck to you.......by the way.....it worked for me.....and I was on weed for years........

Alright mate. Ive been smoking weed since I was 13 as well, the reason, I enjoy it. I know its not good and its not clever. Even with all the problems that came with this, depression lung problems etc I havn't stopped. The only way I dont smoke weed is when there is none around me. This also applies to drugs in general for me, if its there i'll take it, no willpower.I dont believe its a case of been trapped by dealers or anything like that as it all comes down to personal choice, do I or don't I? For me personally the only way ive found to work is by surrounding myself with peolpe who dont smoke the stuff. I'm 27 now and its only recently that i'm doing this and its working. I assume its a lot more difficult when your younger to do this cos friendship groups are all doing the things together. I am still great friends with all the people I tried stuff with when I grew up but they all had stronger willpower than me and were able to stop when they wanted. The nicotine that comes with the baccy don't help either as I use to not smoke cigs, only spliffs but its the nicotine that keeps u goin back for more. I still occasionsly get stoned but its a social thing more than anything. It comes down to willpower I think and where u wanna go with your life. Have fun mate

Marijuana can be addicting, but not in the same way that methamphetamines are addictive. It's psychological. When you're high, you feel great, you feel calm, relaxed, happy. When you go off it, what used to be 'happy' to you just doesn't cut it anymore. So to increase the happy, you go back and smoke more and it becomes a vicious cycle. What you need to do is watch yourself for a while. What are your triggers? Do you start smoking as soon as you start feeling depressed? Do you start smoking when you're bored? Once you figure out what the trigger is, go do something else. Pick a new hobby. Maybe learn to rollerblade or something. Every time you want to smoke, go do the other thing. Everything boils down to Pavlov and his dogs, and once you find your "bell", you can change anything you want. Be careful. If you're around people that do it and pressure you into doing it, don't hang out with them when they are. Tell them 'hey, I can't be around you when you're doing this.' If they're your friends, they will respect your decision.

And, a piece of advice: go to google.com and research EVERYTHING you try before you try it. It is best to know what the effects and consequences of your actions are, even if you choose to disregard the 'healthy option.' That way, you will be aware of possibilities like this in the future and be able to take steps to avoid it. ;) Good luck.

Firstly, don't take any notice of the other respondents moronic replies. I am a substance misuse worker of ten years and was, prior to this a dependent poly-drug user for over 20 years. Only you know if it would be a good idea to tell your parents. If you don't feel able to (or even if you do) there are youth services that you could access to get help with your problem. You could ring the National Drugs Helpline on 0800 776600 or alternatively try going to the Drugscope wesite and looking for help via the helpfinder. Or find out where your local community drug team is- they won't be able to work with you themselfes but should be able to point you in the right direction. You won't have to give your personal details to anyone who you speak to. You are far too young to be risking making life very difficult for yourself-do get some help. Good luck

Answer 5

if you look around in the phone book every once and a while they have a drug help line. If you can't find any help there go to one of those suport groups they may seem realy silly but truth be told they realy work. ask everyone for help from your parents, to your school police officer, it is a good thing that you are trying to get off them now, but just do not start other things to help get rid of the issue that you alredy have and it will only make it harder to stop with the one that you currently have.

Any way that you take to stop smokeing weed is good just as long as it is not takeing you to other things, take your time with going through with the process it will take time. And know that if you do have times when you mess up and something happens, no one person is perfect and gets something done right the first time we all make mistakes.

Good luck I will be cheering you on as you work for your goal of being drug free!

Answer 6

I am really sorry you are in this situation. Firstly, do not blame yourself and knock yourself over the head. That will not help. No body should have given you access to it in the first place. Whatever you think, you are not old enough and mature enough to make decisions based on life's experiences. Secondly, you really want help and you realise you need it. Well done! Thirdly, you need help. You must tell a responsible adult about your situation. If not your parents, how about your doctor? Persuade them you really need help as it is mucking up your life. Get into an institution where you can learn about drugs and they will help you get off. It will be a long hard road, but very rewarding. Good luck, and I will be thinking of you.

Answer 7

Find something to take it's place. Something you enjoy doing. Your 13 start "working out" once you see what working out can do for your body & mind you will be hooked. I'm not sure what "straights" are but weed isn't the worst thing you could of done but it's obviously having some affect on you and how you think about yourself. You have a long life and don't want to sleep through it. Start working on yourself and see what putting "good stuff" in your body can do... you will be amazed and so will the girls...or guys. Good luck

Answer 8

You can be addicted to anything even water if you takei t all the time your body becomes used to it. Your finding it hard to quit the smoke because your body has become used to the the way you feel when smoking. I have a way of changing your habbits.

First of all don't smoke.
When you feel like a smoke either:
1. Run until you are knackered.
2. Buy yourself something amazing.
3. Write down how you feel, write a list of the reasons why you want to stop and why you know it is bad for you.

Answer 9

ive smoked weed for many years now, from when i get up to when i go to bed, firstly, the tobbaco is the most addictive, the relaxation you get with weed can be got in many other ways,seems like ur bored, or stressed, they are what you need to resolve, the weed is a form of self medication,that you can stop, but as with most drugs its a mask to problems, not a cure, the problems wont go away with weed, just that your too chilled out to give a sh*t , you are using weed to help u deal with whatever and im with you i know where your coming from .....I chose to stop when i had a bad time in my life, i stopped for 2. 1/2 yrs, because i chose to stop, it wasnt hard at all. its harder to stop when u dont really want to.So the most importantant thing of all about stopping is that YOU really want to. good luck, save your money and get something you really want with it, i know you said you dont buy it .... but you will ,so that was a quick look to the future. take care all the best

Answer 10

Talk to FRANK. Don't try cutting down, you will only find yourself back at square one. Just because you didn't pay for the stuff doesn't mean you're not addicted, even a 13 year old should know that. If you can't get off it you ARE addicted & you need to get help. It's good that you have decided it's not for you. I'm sure your parents will be very understanding if you tell them & they will find you the help you need. I would be gutted if one of my children came to me with your problem but I would also feel proud that they had the sense to choose to stop & the courage to tell me about it. Good luck with whatever you decide, just remember that it will be easier if you share your problem with someone who cares about you.

Answer 11

start by telling ur parents then ask if u can play some sports when i wasw 10 i found out my brother had the same problem so dont worry he is no longer a drug addict and u can get over it to just start by not hanging around people who do drugs and make sure u are always busy so that way u never have a chance to smoke weed and eventually u will be over weed
