Years ago after a passed training to join the Army Reserves (I was 19) I decided that I would stop pmo for a good while.During the first few weeks I got home I was good,no pmo since I felt great after leaving training but I still didnt know It was as harmful as it really is.So im clean,sober, but a friend offered me weed.I knew I shouldnt have smoked bcuz we got surprise drug tests at drills.But I was dumb.So I smoked after being clean for almost a month, and those few hits fked me up to a level I cant even describe.I felt I needed to pmo immediately.Weed alters all your senses.Makes you want things you really dont want.Makes you think things you dont want to think about.So I relapsed to pmo.Next day I felt soo down so I went and bought more weed and with it,beer wich a depressant.Yes,one leads to the other and without even noticing it,my life started spiraling out out control again and making dumb decision wich I could not control.Weed made me pmo up to 6 times a day.Its not good.Avoid any kind of drug or you will relapse without noticing it.They will make you bend the rules that you set for yourself only to make you loose control of everything.PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS WARNING LIGHTLY!!
Thank you for sharing this. I felt the same exact way, and even did some online research a while back to determine whether marijuana was an aphrodisiac or not. Some experts say that it is while some others, argue that it's not. So, I kind of wonder if ti has anything to do with our personalities that alter our thoughts while being under the influence of being high. It's been almost a month now that I stopped smoking, and I smoked for three years, every single day, non-stop.
Yes friend it is like that.If we REALLY REALLY want to get rid of this pmo problem we have to get rid of those other small cravings that we know will alter our minds.We don't need it.
Ever since I've started nofap, weed has only helped me stick to it. In fact, I think that the idea that I should try nofap came when I was high as a kite, so it probably varies from person to person.
Weed makes YOU relapse. I smoke daily. If you cant handle Marijuana dont smoke it but that doesnt mean that is the case for everyone.
if i was to make a guess i think your problem is your associating weed with p. i get what you mean because every time i smoke p m is the thing i usually want to do too. just because i made a habit of it. i would suggest maybe not smoking for a bit or if you do smoke watch a movie or play a video game just to keep yourself occupied. its the same kind of thing with your computer. If you watch a lot of p on your computer then every time you sit at your computer you might get aroused just sitting there because of what you usually associate your computer with.
It's really not related to weed though I understand, it's just another excuse. If you can't handle weed without giving in, then give it up or decide it won't change your conviction. That is more important where you need to be. Enjoy your weed just don't give in, it's a choice. I know it's easy to say, but would you rather enjoy weed, or suffer the consequences of blaming it and giving in.
For me personally, i know if i smoked weed again i would start getting used to being high again, which means I would start looking for short term fixes to my emotional needs, then alcohol would likely become part of the pattern, shortly followed by cocaine then porn. So i've found it really helpful to stop all mind altering substances. I prefer to keep my inhibitions these days because they keep me on the right side of life. I'd say for anyone struggling to quit PMO who also uses drugs (including alcohol) to see if quitting those helps you. It's not going to be easy though but it can be done.
It has never been the culprit in any of my relapses; in fact, there have been times that it has actually prevented me from relapsing because of the way that it induces introspective thoughts.
Drugs are not a good thing when you are trying to get ahead in life. You are not your best self and it can even get you arrested if you are not careful. I quit about three years ago and weed made me pmo non stop. When quitting weed, its important to quit one thing at a time. Your dopamine receptors will try to convince you time and time again to just take that hit. You have to get it out of your system after a month or so to get those cravings down. Try to replace those habits with something else that gives you a dopamine hit. Like lifting weights, riding a bike, getting something accomplished, or reward yourself with an icecream. You can do it, just think of all the money you'll save.
I can definitely relate. I was sober from porn for almost a month... did weed and immediately relapsed.
Call bullshit. I smoke weed daily and I've been able to quit porn, if anything it helps with the anxiety/
I smoke weed daily, I run, I pump weights and I'm physically active most days and work. Weed is a medicine and if used right it's life changing. The comments here are way off the mark, weed is not an addiction like porn is any by any means.
