Re: Addiction and Recovery
And thank you PM, the best part is, its family! I wish people would not judge/assume first.
And lama, I'm leaning more and more towards your idea!
I know how it is Gaia, Its a bad thing he is into. But him, having such strong family ties I wont worry too much about.
Cuz there is hardly any reason for him to stay in that state, since family cares so much about him.
He will be fine, very soon inshallah.
Btw: be aware from auntie-Ji type dudes, who ask every girl their age. Upon rejection they start picking on them. :-)

Re: Addiction and Recovery
gaia the guy i dealt with had exactly te same problem pot and nicotine... id get the excuse that it helps me sleep at night... and that im not high im just relaxed.... this person was unable to function without it... he abused it to an extreme. And for those of you who have said its not addictive believe me it is... without it he'd go crazy even though he had his normal fags.. His body was dependent on it and he wudnt wean himself off it.
Its so frustrating to see the lengths he would go to to get a fix... He would wake up in the morning and have it for breakfast and during the day it wud be continuous pot pot and more pot until 10 minutes before he wud sleep
I hope your successful..... But like alot of people have said the urge to stop needs to come from within. This person doesn't NEED you to make them stop.... they need themselves to stop.. Ur not with them 24/7 and maybe u shud tell them that you can only support them in their decision.. u cant physically stop it for them they need their own will power and determination!!
Sorry darling i know its hard, frustraing and worrying but at times i wud feel im more worried for this person then they were for themself =(

Re: Addiction and Recovery
addiction: potato chips
solution: havent found one yet..any suggestions?..
So I know there are millions of helping with addiction sites, but I want something deeper. Something on a more personal level. Have you ever helped someone, through an addiction, or were you ever helped? Please share.
I'm sick of losing what was started, I'm sick of guilt trips, I'm sick of tears on both sides, I'm sick of my hopes falling off a cliff everytime.
I know its not easy to stop, but is it really that hard??
We just can't get past the first step. I believe you should face it head on, and not hide from your addiction, is that wrong?
I'm told that, "I'm trying my best," but I don't see any results, its been years!
it has 2 come frm within ............ if u like it , enjoy it , keep doing it , hey if it makes u happy it cant b that bad (sheryl crow ) jus kidding .
it is bad , u r obviously concerned abt health , n smokings long term effects ....... horrible let me tell u few , skin aging , lung damage , stomach linin damage , oxygen not reachin where it sud , mind numbing , insulin rushes, n to top it all INFERTILITY in gals at times irreversible.
so just destroy the pot , break it chuck it away .
if u cant ............ next time u have it guilt free...........
