Quitting marijuana, music

[Infinite Unity]

I'm sorry if the thread is repetitive or whatever.

I try to keep the story short;

Ten years ago I had become afraid that I've become an addict.
I was smoking weed everyday suddenly.

why not?
Hash was and is very cheap here after all, and bam THE MUSIC man... it made me float in my body. it had made me want to go on adventures. be comfortable as an introvert.
In short it wasn't bad.. but the fear of me being addicted to substance bothered me.

When it stops bothering you, you know it may be too late to get free of it easily.

about the music, before trying weed, I had tried some downer pills, but they made life black for a few days.. the dsbm screams and the darkness of a book I was reading (the blind owl) haunted me and were hurting me inside badly.
So i didn't get much hooked on them.
but with pot, I was having transcending experiences while enjoying any art that I liked, be it a movie or music or whatever.

I mention music a lot, because substance use/abuse and art go hand in hand for some. and it wasn't the substance itself that made me do it a lot.. it was music and the new world that I was introduced to through it. I went through old things and saw things I hadn't seen before..

''I like escapism... not because I feel like a failure, but because all life here is seen to be a failure by me.
then why not celebrate this failure the way I like it?''
This is how my subconscious feels about the situation.. with its lack of logic.

Weed makes time go faster without me noticing it. so I lose time and it has also hurt my short term memory.
My problem now is that giving it up seems too far away..

I smoked pot for 14 years, and it can be very hard to quit. Over the past 5 years I have attempted to quit many times, and always came up short. Well last week I went through a very bad spiritual sickness. In the middle of this sickness the realization and want to quit weed overtook me, and I knew it was time to stop smoking. I went through heavy withdrawals, bowel problems, and heavy heavy fatigue. My body hurt, but still my will held and I am smoke free a week.


If you really feel like you need to quit I believe you can do it. I don't see weed as a bad thing, It helped me get through some of the toughest times in my life. However over the past 5 years somewhere in there I knew to get to the next "level" in my spiritual journey, I would need to quit smoking weed. Finally that step in the journey has come, and I am preparing for the next leg of this grand adventure.


I believe in you, and you can quit if you want. Don't ever give up, and do not presume yourself a failure that's half the battle brother. Have you been having the urge or messages sent to you that its time to stop?

It is a lie and misleading to say weed is non-addictive. Any substance introduced to your body can become addictive. Your body starts becoming dependent on those chemicals and energies being introduced. Anything in the wide world can be addictive.

I would begin with going as long as I could without smoking under the guise of "smoking later", smoke when it becomes absolutely terrible not to. Rinse and repeat, and try and get the distance/time in-between each smoke further and further away. Until finally you can put it down. It is very possible, almost every adult that is in my life, and I spend extreme amounts of time with, smokes weed. So I completely understand being compelled to smoke, you can do this.

Also brothers and sisters Ive had dreams, and other things beginning to line up, things and signs from ages past coming into realization. Something big is on the radar now and just around the corner. I wont try and define it for each of us, but seriously something huge is coming upon us. Prepare yourself.
