OFF THE POT, STILL AN ADDICT

Posted by ultra on February 19, 2008, at 17:35:09

I firmly believe that I was addicted to pot because I smoked it to go to sleep every night. In order to quit I had to drop a lot of friends. Instead of smoking myself into a stupor to fall asleep- I now drink Chamomile tea and use Melatonin. It doesn't always work. I met a guy and he was a light weed smoker. I found myself crawling out of his bed in the middle of the night to go smoke a bowl to get back to sleep. The dude must have thought I was nuts. I'm not seeing him anymore. Too tempting. It's rough quitting. I used to smoke from the minute I came home from work until the night before work. No doubt I would smoke if it were handed to me right now. I am at least proud that I don't buy it anymore or use it for sleep. I was a heavy smoker. I looked stoned even if I wasn't.

yeah...I am pretty much sure I will smoke pot if it is in front of me...and now I have to let it run out, and NOT buy any
that is the challenge looming
It so helps me sleep
I tried to smoke it in the wee hours of the morn the other night, but I didn't think I could do it without waking up my boyfriend who might think I am a bit of a freak
and I have to ask myself too..."what the hell am I doing at 4 am sparking up a joint?"

be well,
sid, still on the pot

Warm milk with honey (or sugar I guess) & a couple of calcium pills usually helps me.

That is the craziest idea! Heck, anything is worth a shot. I've heard of warm milk helping sleep (like with babies and stuff) and also heard about calcium. Honey...now that's new! I love this site! I am sooo putting honey on my grocery list. Good luck everyone. Hey, at least it's not crack! For the record, I've neer smoked crack =)
