Who Can Help Me With Pot??

I have a compulsive addiction to cannabis and it's ruining my life!

I have been to see the doctor who referred me to a counselor, who told me I was fine! I can get angry sometimes which results in me breaking things in the house and saying things to my fiance, that I instantly regret and don't even mean.

I get very depressed sometimes and feel like it would be better for every body if I killed myself. I know this is the result of approx 15 years of cannabis use, but I really seem to be struggling. The thing I find the hardest is that I know I "have" to give up. I really don't know what to do, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

On the one hand, you say that cannabis is ruining your life and on the other you say that the hardest thing for you is that you ‘have’ to give it up. It seems that you have mixed feelings about stopping the drug – and since you’ve been using it for 15yrs, this is understandable.

Smoking cannabis has become a life-style, but it’s ruining the quality of your life as well as your health. You cannot stop smoking alone. Go to a 12-step program like Marijuana Anonymous and get a sponsor and follow the steps.

Not only will you stop using drugs, but you’ll have more energy, develop new support group of friends and have a more positive life.
