I am struggling a bit right now.
I am studying at University, I am starting to feel overwhelmed with my workload.
I am addicted to cannabis, but I have almost run out and I am going to have to try to quit. I quit before for a month and it was tough, I was quite anxious after 2 weeks when I was alone. I also am stressed about money, I am not good at budgeting but I need to stick to a budget or I will run out of money. I also have things to sort out like I have to call my old job to talk about a Christmas placement for when I am back home from Uni. I have been putting that off but I need to do it as soon as possible. Going home isn't great, my room is freezing over winter and my mother is very stressful to live with although I will be happy to see her. But I need to go home to earn money over Christmas so I can put up with bad living conditions for a month. I thinking quitting the cannabis will help me to be productive with work because I have been procrastinating recently. I am starting to feel a bit hopeless and I know I need to pick myself up to get out of it and my social life is going well at the moment. I just struggle to be sober, the last time I quit for a month I drank alcohol quite often, in the evenings. I also drank too much caffeine and that doesn't help with anxiety. Quitting cannabis for a month seems easier than quitting altogether, last time towards the end of the month I was able to remind myself that I could smoke again when I returned home. So now I have a month again before going home where I could smoke again. I am not sure if that makes it easier or harder to quit but the thought of never smoking again doesn't quite seem doable for me right now.

For now do what is right for you. Get off the weed when the right time comes to do so.
ReplySome people quit things differently. Like cigarettes I was fortunate enough to toss them down and leave them. A taper method is sometimes needed if you have some self control. You have to really want to quit though and occupy your mind with something else. Otherwise you'll keep going right back to it. Addiction is a strange thing. I hope you're able to quit. If not take it one day at a time.
