Hi, I had the same experience... Firstly your doctor is a loser, you can become hooked on pot, everyone nows that. Let me tell you about my exp and hopefully that helps you.
I used to do alot of speed, extasy and pot firstly only on weekends then it was for 4 nights in a row. I could not wait till I got on and hung around my mates, It was the best.
But I had no money to pay bills, food, or did not even help around the house. I had changed heaps but my family said nothing. I look back now and I can see how differant I was but at the time I could not see. It is funny how you make up excucses to your self to get on. Like I'll only have a small bit and that is it, but then your high and you want more and more. I got of drugs cos' I hit rock bottom and did not want to hurt my family. So I stayed away from my friends completely, because they would tempt me. To help me with the boredem I drank 6 beers each night to ease me. And that really helped, then I eased of the beers. After a while you feel really good being cleen, you fell apart of the world again, it's great.
My advice would be to look at your baby photos and think how did this inocent little boy grow up to who I am today and how does the people that love me think to see me change like that. Stay away from your mates too. Say no to them, they will try to shout you for free but say no still. in the end they will resect you more for holding your ground. Do you really want to hang around with people who want to keep you down.
We all go through a stage when weve had enough of drugs. I had some awesome exp on drugs but that is it and I don't want them any more. You can do it.

I am a recovered alcoholic and my husband is a recovered drug addict. We, too, are educated people whose lives came pretty close to falling apart (separately). Firstly, see a psychotherapist (NOT a psychologist). Find one who specializes in addiction medicine. Call your local hospital to see if they have an outpatient drug rehabilitation program. Then, keep yoruself busy with anything that will keep you away from drugs. No more cricket, buddy. It's now a trigger for you. You'll also need to stay away from "drug friends".
You can be addicted to just about anything emotionally so the doctor you saw is an idiot. I believe that pot is physically addictive too. But most people (espicially pot smokers would disagree)
You are not beginning to lose control...you have lost control-- officially. Just know that life can be really much more interesting sober or straight. And seriously, best of luck to you. As cliche as it sounds, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

Okay well doc is right about being addicted physicly to "pot" but one may become mentally dependant on it. You just can't have withdrawls from it if you stop using it. HOWEVER that is sooooo not true for the "line of C" thing. Whichever drug you mean there. I assume coke, u coauld mean meth though. BOTH are highly addictive both mentally & physicly. & you would go to a substance abuse specialist about that problem like to a mental health facility. But if you are going there only for the "pot" thye will talk to you too, but depending on the person may not validate that it is a "real problem" if you only mention the "pot" then again some see "pot" as a huge problem it just depends on who you see about it. & Good luck with quiting. Definately make an effort to stop the "c" before you do become addicted to it.

for one thing, no the only drug that you can't get addict to is pot. the other that you said c , well yes you can and to turn around and blame sleeping with other girls because you are high on pot you are full of ****. pot doesn't do that to you. you are just blaming you being with other girls on it. all it does is make you relaxes unless you are also drinking too and is drunk, than that can explain why you are sleeping with other girls. plus you are not ready to be with just one girl yet and if you really truely love your girlfriend you would not find the need to sleep with other girls. it doesn't matter if you have a uni drgree, you just haven't found real love yet and thats all. and you should know that with a uni degree. as you said you also only done it after playing cricket. and if you only play on week-ends you are only doing only then. good luck with your girlfriend but i also think its time to move on too. she knows something in you has changed and who knows maybe she is doing the same thing. we're find happiness someone. good luck all the way from canada.

Sorry to say but you have to quit hanging out with your friends if she is more important. I have ahd a drug problem for many years I still smoke pot but have quit all the others, damn hard let me tell you. If you reall ylove her and want to be with her then have her come to cricket games and leave with her when you are done. Tell her you need help to stop boozing and doing coke If she loves ou she will help. Don't tell her about the other girls tho that won't go over good. Just stop now and you will be ok.

Hey there
I was a bit of a druggie, but it wasn't pot but rEcreationals. I found an amazing homeopath (in London). I was in denial for quite a bit, but slowly my life has changed. Nine months later and I'm clean living and healthy and don't fell the need to take "recreationals". Homeopathy's about using your own energy and willpower to slowly become the person you wanna be.
In my opinion using any kinda prop is a way of hiding from deep-seated issues that you've not dealt with. My issues were things that happened to me as a kid. yours might be different ; hope this helps.
Main thing is : not to worry about it too much mate.

Change your lifestyle. Stop playing cricket for a while, becuase that's become part of the lifestyle you mentioned. Quiting pot made me physically ill for four days. Replace bad habits with good ones, liking helping those you love, or anyone you see that needs help. this will bring you back to "your center". Good luck, let us know how you did, keep Q&A-ing.

Just know that letting drugs be and important part of your life will probablly mean they will be the only thing important in your life someday. Drug addiction can creep on you slowly and its real hard to see the bad side down the road while your still in the fun times. Unfortunaltly, this realization happens after it is to late.

I am sorry to hear all this. all I can say is you have to want to stop. No one can help you except for your self. You have to get different friends or not hang with the ones you have. As for your gf. if you realy love her it should be an easy choice. It is hard and the feeling of wanting the drug will never go away. You have to be in controll...Hope this helps

You must go into a residency program and completely abstain from drugs, or watch your life do a slow slide.
Don't take my word for it. Go to some Narcotics Anonymous meetings and listen. You won't like this advice. You want an easier way. There is none.
