I cant stop smoking weed - Help.com

Yes you can
Have a backbone and take control of your life

Do not start drinking. At best drinking would just replace one addiction with another, at worse you’ll have both at the same time.

If you managed to quit for a year, then you have the capacity to overcome it yourself. Think about why you went back to it in the first place. That’s probably where the root of the problem lies.

you fool you messed up your own head

nd i would help but youve brung it on your self and lepards dont change their spots etc

and drinkin would be just as bad

Quoted for truth :)

A psychological addiction can be harder to break than a physical addiction. Smoking cigarettes is a good example. It only takes a couple of weeks to get nicotine out of the body, but most people start smoking again long after the nicotine is gone — that’s why it’s so hard to quit.

You have a serious psychological addiction, and you almost certainly won’t be able to kick it on your own. First, find a good drug program. Second, you are going to have to completely change your life — you can’t keep the same friends you smoke with, and you can’t do the same things you’ve always done.

Good luck.

Smoking cigarettes is physically addictive though….

But yeah - psychological addiction can be hard to knock. The key is to realize that the weed is not to blame here - you are in control.

Exactly, cigarettes are addictive for their nicotine, however it’s also the habit of putting your cigarette to your mouth that can make quitting smoking worse. Habit, not addiction.
Weed is definitely not addictive. If anything the OP just has a habit of lighting up a join when he’s stressed or whatever else. He needs to replace the bad habit with something good, and that takes a lot of dedication and effort and much time as well. But it is possible.

Cigarettes are both physically and psychologically addictive. My point was that the psychological addiction is what prevents most people from successfully quitting smoking, not the physical addiction. So although marijuana is not physically addictive, the psychological addiction can be terrible, especially when someone has smoked so much for so long.
