Giving up or taking a break

[StonerDan]

If my missus told me to pack it in id pack her suitcase for her, luckily for me and maybe her she likes a smoke, sometimes moans that im a forgetful bastard.... what was i saying

[ed the head]

I used to really enjoy watching TV now its the most boring retarded rubbish in the whole world, how do people watch it without being blazed. Part of me thinks its the withdrawal symptoms from the baccy leaving by system, but I found giving up the ciggs a peace of piss. So does anybody have any top tips to help me atop blazing.

TV IS rubbish, at least 95%

Tobacco's physical dependence ceases 48 hours after you give it up, after that it's just a matter of mind over matter.

To you last question 'A mind changed against it's will is of the same opinion still.'

Good luck

my brothers coming round with a Q of super silver haze so I doubt i will abstain tonight.

Well that was a pretty short break mate!

At the end of the day habitual smoking just becomes a substitute for boredom. So you need to fill your time with other more strenuous things, like sex perhaps.

Give her an ultimatum. It's either more sex or you're back on the dope. That'll focus her mind a bit! She'll roll your spliffs for you.

Seriously, you just need to substitute the smoke with something else. Otherwise reality can get a bit boring,

I smoked every day for 30 years, but over the last couple of years have cut back to a much more occasional thing. But I never let it stop me doing stuff when I was blazing for England. I made sure I always functioned while stoned, and never allowed it to de-motivate me. So I did a degree, did post-grad research, taught at uni, wrote books, set up a couple of businesses, and did a lot of other stuff as well. Then you're not smoking just through habit and boredom. So my advice is make sure you do other things when smoking, not to just sit watching shit tv.

If it's in part for health reasons definitely use a vape. If it doesn't quite hit the spot neat, then that's the tobacco habit more than the dope talking. But I know exactly what you mean. I've always preferred a mixed spliff myself. But if it's for longer term health reasons then you just need to keep doing it till it does hit the spot.

I always find that when I smoke I don't really dream (or I can't remember dreaming). So every time I've stopped I've found for the first few days that you notice your dreams much more vividly. But that it passes after a few nights if keep straight.

Or just cut back and do it on more of an occasional basis, instead of every night. That way you get more bang for your bucks as well.

"I absolutely loved this! Last year I dressed as Sarah Jessica Parker for Halloween, and this really helped pull my costume together. I'm really glad I was able to find it! I won the best costume contest at my work. "

"This mask imbues the wearer with super-human abilities. The power to make everyone around you feel akward and uncomfortable being first among them. After wearing the mask for several days my identity was consumed and replaced. There is only the horse now. Best purchase I ever made."

TV is shit anyway, i just played PS3 for a couple of months when i had to stop, its easy and now i get stoned on a crumb, and can go without pretty easily, its fooking brilliant IMO

We take periodic breaks, and the only way we manage is "cold turkey." We do it because when we have weed, we're all-day smokers.

I don't care what anyone says about weed not being chemically addictive- I do have some light withdrawal symptoms from weed. (Have never smoked tobacco.)

My body sucks at regulating it's temperature for a few days (kind of feels like having hot/ cold flashes)
Total loss of appetite ("food is stupid")
Dreams definitely seem more vivid (But I suspect that has to do with remembering them)

I won't really count the fact that it makes me slightly cranky.

It gets better every day and never takes more than a week until I feel totally normal.

You need to get busy to get through it- more sex for sure- especially right before sleep, seems to really help my quality of sleep. Definitely add exercise, and consider reading a really good book in the evenings- as it's much more engaging for your brain than TV. When I'm feeling cranky from withdrawal TV just pisses me off- too slow, not distracting enough, but once I'm over it I can watch TV sober again.

Change your after work routine and take up knitting. TV hasn't changed since you stopped smoking, it's just your clear unstoned mind actually realising that TV on the whole, is generally crap. Which is what getting stoned does, it makes you far more acceptable of nothing. Sit in an empty room 'straight' and you'll be bored as fuk, but sit in the same room stoned and you'll still be bored as fuk...cept now, it's 'not so bad'. It doesn't bother you when your abroad because you've replaced the empty room with enough interesting stuff to distract you from the boredom, the same way a smoke does. If giving up the baccy is a piece of piss then the smoke has to be far easier considering the baccy is the only thing with proven addictive elements involved and there's a big difference between needing a cig and wanting a joint. As far as the dreams are concerned, yer fucked, if you have them there's no way to avoid them. I don't like taking drugs to get off drugs, so I wont advise sleeping tablets, but I would suggest some new strenuous exercise added to the mix. While it doesn't stop the dreams, it helps your body insist on recharging itself while your asleep and takes some of the vivid edges off whatever you happen to be dreaming about. Then it's just a matter of time ....slowly... ticking by. Goodluk with that!.

Weed aint important, the missus is.

Brilliant DC!
