it's all a matter of exercising your freedom to choose. i don't believe the folks who say that the likes of us who like to get high are getting nowhere because it's only highly hypocritical and quite superficially their answer to why they don't do it themselves!first, though, if you really want to quit, you have to also minimize the time you spend hanging out with those who still smoke dope. it makes you feel bad and left-out when they smoke, but it makes you feel worse if you break this sort of compromise you've made with yourself because you know you're quitting. just try it for like, two weeks minimum! surely you won't miss it if you indulge yourself in other things. find a new hobby, for example.
just tryin to help, but hey if you want to smoke this afternoon, i'm free at two pm. haha! do take care

Narcotics anonymous could help you, but you most likely wont need it. During the process you go through in order to eliminate substance or drug abuse from your life, you might need to make some drastic changes in your immiediate atmosphere. This means that you may need to stop hanging around these friends of yours that use drugs. Or you could simply leave to go do something else when they are doing drugs.
To find motivation in eliminating drug abuse, you might need some DIRECTION. You can find direction from a number of people. Maybe the reason why you turn to drugs in the first place is because you dont get the proper direction and guidance from your parents, or from an older role model. Without direction, that is, without a destination, a reason to quit doing what your doing; you will only continue on the same path even if you make small increments of progress, such as quitting marijuana for a month.
I recommend finding an alternative hobby, and also concentrating on the development of your life. You have all the opportunity in the world to become whatever you want, living in America, and you need to take advantage of this blessing. Working out is an excellent hobby, and you could try to find a local kickboxing gym or a good martial arts dojo to join. Make sure that you find a good teacher, someone that can give you excellent advice.

Smoking dope may seem like an easy escape from your troubles, but really you're just getting sucked into addiction... An addiction that can potenitally harm you. =( Try your best to quit, and to help quit worrying about other things, try spending some more time devoted to yourself, and try to avoid situations that will make you worry. Also, it seems like you don't really have the best of friends... a good friend wouldn't try to force you to smoke, or offer harmful drugs to a friend they really care about.

Dope is a crutch that will take over your life. Unless you want to end up as a homeless bum, you have to be strong and keep saying no. Find different friends. The ones you have are dragging you down.
Life is full of problems but drugs will not make them go away. They will just become another problem, the worst problem of all.

Notyou311 is taking things in exaggeration. But it is something you don't want to do often, if not at all. I did it once. It wasnt that great for me. I'm not gonna do it again. Not because its against the law. Just cuz I don't need to. Find other things that make you happy that don't cost you money. I'm not trying to sound like a DARE advocate, in fact marijuana should be legal. I'm not even a stoner!

Be strong, youre better than stupid drugs! Difficult sh!t may come your way but dont resort to drugs they will take over your life and make it hell. If it gets worse try consulting one of those drug helplines. i know they are lame but they might help save your life.
