mikey d Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 so i decided a few weeks ago that id take a long break from smoking pot. i decided my last day would be 420, but what with the long weekend and all I slipped some in on the 21st. I'm going until the first night of my summer, or the last day of my school year, June 20th. Today is day 2 and im already sketching out! Anybody got any pointers on ways to get around the craving??

Woolner Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Do something active. Go for a jog or bicycle. It seems like it's gonna be super hard at first, but afterwards you'll feel great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry jr. Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 No weed? Look on the bright side; now you can start popping some pills. Barring that stupidity, I would echo the aforementioned advice of staying active. It's a good time of year, what with spring and all. Go for some good walks, play some frisbee, and remind yourself that you're doing something good for your mind and body. It does get easier after a few days. I like to go on 2-3 week hiatuses every few months myself, but sounds like you're going on a more extended break. One day at a time and such. Try not to surround yourself in a pot-inducing environment too often. If you get confused, listen to the music play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 I've tried to quit, but my computer room never lets me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 hang out with people who aren't entirely chronic is probably a good bet... always took a new girlfriend who didn't really care to partake much to motivate me in that direction... staying on the same wavelength and all plus the damn computer work ("um, what was I just doing?) staying in public limits your opportunities(unless you're hangin with all your chronic buddies)... drink more, see live music takes about a week or two for the initial urges to pass... comes back 6 weeks later... but its not intense like cigarettes or other things... just a strong habit... enjoy the increased intensity of your dreams... after you've been baked all the time for some time its wierdest of all to be straight... just like being baked back in the beginning... enjoy it whilst it lasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoMack Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 but I thought it wasn't addictive? LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Addiction and habits are 2 different things I believe. If you have a habit of doing something at a certain time, or for certain events, when those time's or events arrive, you really wanna do that thing you do. That's one of the major pieces of quitting smoking ciggies, even though it is addictive. You have to cut out the things that you usually smoke to, or move them around. I suppose the biggest thing one could do with 420 is to limit access to it. In that regard, if you get it from someone in particular, send him on a cruise for 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 uh, hey phish stick i'm also right there with you-did the 'anti-420' thing....I also stopped drinking coffee....kee-rist i'm shaking as I type this. i've been smoking 5-10 joints a day for 10 years...figured it was time for a break. it's hard-i've tried to go on 'hiatus' or sabbatical many times only to fail miserably within days or hrs.....so yeah staying away from people that are smoking helps, uh, not smelling it helps. Thank God my girlfriend agreed not to smoke it in the apt or i'd go nuts... Hide all of the apparatus and paraphanalia. Get some outdoor hobbies and activities going(if it ever f%^@%ing warms up!) I'm about to go to my first Nero show completely sober since the first time I saw them 2 years ago. weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey d Posted April 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 thanks for the good vibes guys. its day 3, and its still intense. I was around it for the first time today since quitting and it was rough to just pass the pipe to the next guy in the circle without toking it. The problem with not being around chrons is that all my friends are mad pot heads! Now that it is nice weather I'm definately going to be more active, but another problemw itht hat is whenever I used to go for a walk I'd always hit a bowl before hand, but I greatly enjoy being outside with this beautiful weather. My dreams already have become more vivid . . .something about a long lost riend and some sort of intestinal worm last night . . ?? I definately am going to enjoy not burning out every night around 6. And I'm also going to take this as a time to work on my playing and not jsut stick on some ehadphones and try to trip myself out. hey, I may even try hard in school . . . . wait . .. . I'll make updates as the days pass. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 We were up in heaven But now we're in the mud We fell off the wagon You should have heard the thud We were so superior But that was just a phase We were high on life For fourteen boring days Bartenders got insulted When we would insist On ginger ale, Perrier Or soda with a twist On the airplane we were good guys We sat where folks don't smoke At the party they were all surprised When we turned down a toke We kicked nicotine and caffeine And alcohol and cannibis We copped an ounce of clarity and We scored a pound of bliss But I kept having nightmares And you kept gaining weight We gave in to our withdrawal pains And finally took the bait In no time we were hooked again Suckers that we are Life of every party and The fly in every bar Two weeks on the wagon 'Till we toppled off I got back my headaches And you got back your cough We were up in heaven But now we're in the mud We fell off the wagon You should have heard the thud We were so superior But that was just a phase We were high on life For fourteen boring days We were high on life For fourteen boring days Heaven and Mud Loudon Wainright III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
