Keep your self busy(GET YOU BUTT IN THE GARAGE), the work load you have will help but keep your self busy, As we all know once you smoke you tend to just lounge around and do nothing. I use to smoke about 12 + years ago when I was in high school on a daily baisis and did nothing in those years other than sale my 69 ss camaro sell my 69 nova and loose a job.

hugs not drugs

I hope this will help with the motivation. I have "been there done that" but it was alot of years ago and I have to do randon and annual drug tests due to my job and license. I started going back to church about 10 years ago and met this single guy at church. He liked cars, guns, and baseball. It was all the the Wrong cars(ford), and baseball teams(yankees) but I put up with it. He bought a 67 mustang and I worked him through parts choices and helped with the work. So jump forward 10 years, and numerous bottles of beer, several 1000 rounds of ammo, greasey handsand busted knuckles, alot of Red Sox yankee games, and his marriage of 19 months but i never knew he smoked weed occasionally and neither did his wife until they where engaged. I guess a habbit left over from his younger days. Well the long time free spirited single guy and a some what anal female started having a tuff time adjusting to marriage and life together. His causal habbit increased as marital preasures did. I found out about his pot use 2 months ago when he started acting weird and unstable. He is now in the county jail and is loosing EVERYTHING. He is on 23.5 hour a day lock down and headed for the mental ward. It looks like he had found and been smoking some "really good stuff" but what made it really good has fried his brain. He made about 6 very bad choices all of them are way out of character for him. Our pastor has known him much longer than I and is visiting him 4 times a week and has told me the person we new is not there any more.

Weed never made me go crazy or got me locked up. It sounds like you're kinda like I was. A highly functioning pot head. I work around the same number of hours as you and have my own business. I never hurt anyone, but I did like to smoke and drink, all the other stuf wasn't for me. I don't even take asparin or drink caffeine, but I loved the kush. I tried to quit a couple of times but there was no motivation to do so. All my friends were still smoking and I was still living the same lifestyle.

I then met my wife. She was totally different than my previous girlfriends and wasn't so accepting of my habit. I havn't looked back. I feel much more comfortable around my family and don't have to rush off in the middle of a family event because my friends were all partying without me. I still drink a little, but I don't crave the wacky tabacky like I thought I would. About 6 months ago I took a bong hit of the kill to see what affect it would have on me. It wasn't the same. I felt high, but I also felt guilty and uncomfortable around my wife, which I never want to feel again. I still have alot of the same friends that smoke, just that they respect who I am and realize the changes I've made.

It's not like pot is going to ruin your life like crack will, it will just keep you in the same place you've always been. Like treading water. I'm not trying to get back those 14 years of smoking, I'm just trying to be better than I was. I love spending time with my little neices and nephews, and it feels good that they can look up to me and I don't feel guilty about a damn thing. I guess you gotta change in your own way. I'm not a religious man so I can't tell you if that works or not, but I'll help you out any way I can. PM me if you want and I'll help you out on what helped me out.

You can do it. If you work 70 hours a week, you have the will to quit.

Good luck to you man. I agree that if you can work 70 hours a week, you can quit smoking. Stay busy, stay focused, and push yourself. You'll make it.

[joe440]

you probably wont have to work 70 hours a week anymore if you stop wasting money on that junk! goodluck with it all

One less thing to "Look over your shoulder' about. There is no downside to any of what you are doing.
