    I smoke between 5-10 cigarettes a day and I smoke weed usually 2 times a week. It depends, this week I smoked weed 4 times I think.
    I'm on day 7 if nofap, yeah! My best streak is 28 days, something like that.

    I think nofap is just not enough for me. I have this vision that I have to quit nicotine and weed to become a prouder human being. But, like they say, one step a time.
    I stopped smoking weed for almost a month last month. Did the same thing last year. I've been using again since my last vacation and I'm not proud of it.

    I wonder if I quit smoking someday, I'll be happier or is it all the happiness and despair I'll get for the rest of my life?

    I wanted to share some thoughts with you, feel free to share I'll really appreciate it.

  2. Hey brother. Quit smoking by reading Alens Carr's book "How to easy quit smoking"(don't remember is it right title I just named). It's magic. You will quit easy. My quitting was long and hard, but I didn't give up. 6 months I was battling demons until they died. I had to read book 2 times since I used to be dumbass with too much demons in my head. But I did it! October 26 was date when I quit. I smoked just once after quitting. February 8. It was my birthday and I mixed too much alchocol with weed and my mind wasn't there for me no more. But haven't smoke since.

    Read that book, it was great. But wasnt the time to quit. I read it last year, a few weeks before my mother died. I quit cigarettes for two weeks but I was smoking joints everyday with tobacco in it so...

    I want to stop weed but it's really hard to face those feelings of boredom and despair. I don't feel good when I smoke weed like I used to . It's just a way to escape for a bit. I feel more like shit when high but I keep on doing it with hope that it will resolve my problems, don't know why.
     
  5. Simply stop. Just dont do it and thats all. If you have urges, desire for doing that - run, sleep, go in cold shower. GET THAT IN MIND THAT IT'S BAD! Just motivate yourself as hard as you can.

  6. Cause it begins in mind. I dont remember being really depressed even while on fap last months cause I told myself "Life is beautiful and crying wont help. I'm handsome fucker and I can be even better now than I used to be" and with that I became happier.
     
  7. I smoked weed pretty heavily for about 15 years. During that time I used to wonder which I would rather give up, porn or weed? When it came right down to it porn would be the last thing I would give up in those days. I can tell you after 15 years of not smoking weed I have no desire for it but if you have friends that smoke it and smoke around you you will never quit smoking weed. I had to give up all of my friends I turn my back and left all of them so that I could be true to one person I was accountable to myself.

    mannn weed will get you stronger for the rest of life. Smoke everyday to succeed! 100%:emoji_water_polo::emoji_military_medal::emoji_microphone::emoji_mountain_bicyclist::emoji_mountain_bicyclist::emoji_mountain_bicyclist::emoji_art::emoji_shamrock::emoji_shamrock::emoji_shamrock::emoji_shamrock::emoji_deciduous_tree::emoji_deciduous_tree::emoji_deciduous_tree::emoji_deciduous_tree::emoji_deciduous_tree:
     

  9. You will get your life back. I have a close co worker that is a friend, she has a family and smokes allot as well. The way I see it, is that it only hurts you and does not make things better. Porn and cigarettes are huge ad's put together, making money off of you. Especially for taking in chemicals. But What can I say I was the kid that got high off of sharpies back in middle school and thought it was funny.

    Weed is something I'll never understand. People say its not addicting yet they smoke it every single day and don't give it up. Then they brag about how many joints they smoke in one day... I believe it opens you're mind up since its natural, has health aspects, and from earth. But my belief is the addiction is real.

    The weed thing is definitely good for you only in moderation. Speaking from experience personal recreational and medicinal use for about 10 years has caused me some ill effects but I wouldn't change a thing about the past. I got high for everyday of the year more than one or two years and it wasn't any worse than being sober.. I enjoyed smoking weed alot but it has hurt my lungs over the years and I would recommend edibles and tinctures to the people that love marijuana because it is a great thing afterall just not always healthy to use like so many things.

    In my opinion, cigarettes are worse than porn
    People may disagree, since we're on the NoFap forums...But if you plan to take care of one addiction at a time, start with those dirty cigarettes!

    I say stop all the addictions at once if you really want to help yourself. It makes sense anyways if you're going to better yourself might as well do it to the max!

    That's a brave move. Gotta Wear that courage jacket. I smoke with two friends. I really appreciate them.
    I had that thought that popped up in my head: maybe I like them only for the weed. But I realised we met through music. I don't want to leave them but maybe I have to if I want to be proud of myself.

    if you don't feel good toking anymore, why not take a break from it and see how you feel. though there are withdrawals from doing it regularly, once you're past the first 3 days without it, it becomes much easier. drink loads of water and/or cranberry juice, it helps your liver to break down the thc metabolites much quicker.

    don't leave your friends who you smoke with. you could meet in a neutral place where you can connect with each other, it was music that brought y'all together in the first place so maybe start a band or meet at amoeba or go for a gig. i had some of my friends exit my life because of my pot habit and it hurt me for the longest time even though i realised that they were doing what's best for them. maybe see them less frequently but please don't make it feel like you're avoiding them etc. it was horrible when my friends basically upped and left me with my pot addiction. i've since stopped toking every day, its limited to the weekends now. in the last 2 weeks, i have taken multiple breaks of 3-5 months of no toking completely and tbh i was so productive, confident and happy during that time. try and see what works for you. you'll be surprised at what's at the sober end of life : )

    i recently quit cigarettes again after a successful 5 months of no smoking last year. it's been almost 4 days since my last cigarette and i can tell you that i feel much better about myself knowing that i'm not smoking anymore. i've always wanted to quit and the fact that i'm doing it again is a great confidence booster. if i can do this then i can do anything i put my mind to. the cravings to smoke go away after about 10 days, again the first 3 days are the most intense.

    but take it one step at a time. i started with nofap, when i was about 2-3 weeks in to my streak and i felt like i wasn't dealing with the withdrawals of that so much any more and it gave me energy to tackle the next addiction. i decided on a whim that i would stop smoking instead of planning it even though it was something i knew i wanted to do but i didn't put a date to it to avoid the anxiety that comes with setting a date etc. it felt right for me.

    I quit smoking overnight. All addiction is rooted in emotional pain. Once, at home, alone, when you feel like smoking, just get yourself in a room alone and without being bothered by anyone. Do not smoke, just sit until the urge goes. Smoking is an escaping mechanism. After 2-3 such sessions, not even consecutive, you’ll be less like to pick up a ciggy.

    Here are some other pointers:

    1. do you control the cigarette or does it control you?
    If you have to go outside to smoke, think how pathetic you look for sucking up from a poisonous pipe. To me, that’s a weak character.

    2. In most ciggies, you find about 5000 chemicals, 30 are class 1 carcinogens like: hydrazine, benzene, lead, isoprene, arsenic. Many of those chemicals are carrying warning labels and they are poured into mixes by people using hazmat suits. You then burn this mix at 1200 Celsius and inhale the smoke. Does that sound sane to you?

    personally, hydrazine seemed like the best (sic!). It was used by the Russian space program as fuel for a failed rocket. The fumes of hydrazine will literally burn the lungs. On skin, it's a neurotoxin. But hey, some of the satellites today are powered by it (see Iridium)!
