I have been taking the cutting down approach, I dont know if that will work, I dont feel like i am quitting,and still feel just as hooked. I have told myself I am cutting down for some 25 years now, been smoking for 30 some.
To me its a cop out, I'm not quitting, because I am still smoking.
In the past I have smoked all day long some days when I'm at home.
But have never smoked before or during work.
Now I only smoke after 5 pm, usually 7pm, and not every day. And only a small amount.
So in a way I guess I ahve cut down, but havnt quit completly yet.
I dont know if tapering off lessens withdrawl effects, maybe becasue it is stored for so long in your body, it takes so long to break down, so all I am doing by cutting back is maintaining the amount stored in my body.

I have always had vivid dreams on pot, most people say they dont dream.

yes!
finally someone who also has the crazy dreams! i always rememebr them too..
i have quit weed and tabbacco now for 13 days... i have lapsed one day and that was because i got pissed and couldnt help myslef...
i went cold turkey and it worked... u neeed to get all the stuff away from u... i say just make the decision and stick to it... i have been trying to quit for so many years then all of a sudden i found this website and quit! day one was the worst then after that it got progressively easier... now my memory is so much better, but the vivid nightmares have not changed...but i feel pure again... unpoluted...
get a calender and mark every day you dont smoke... get thru that bad craving on day one and that is the hardest bit over with...
do you want to quit?

Hi Phoenix..just read your very helpful response..I must say as you predicted the cravings have somewhat receded and I have been imbued with a new vigor, a new vitality that I haven’t felt in a long time…the constant lurking thought of when am I going to have my next spliff is lurking less and all the other things I’ve been wanting to think about are actually being thunk (I know it aint grammatically correct), motivation is up, reading books is way up, mood swings are down.. appetite cycles restored, clarity of thought, sharpness, wit and response time are up. .see also: general wellbeing, see also: feeling of satisfaction, see also: easier to get out of bed, see also: feelings of paranoia….gone, :see also: lethargy minimized, see also: concentration sharper, …. All of these things are already on track after only not smoking since Friday a week,,, that’s only 11 days………………………Its quite possible that ill have a spliff tonight if I feel the craving, and its quite possible that ill have a downer, possibility ,,, but hey didn’t some maniac say “what goes down must come up????” we slip we get up, we slip we get up…..Phoenix ure fantastic, thankx…. P.S. Prob against your policy however I would like to get us a coffee and discuss.. could be rather enlightening .you sond like a wonderful person… PPS. I STARTED HAVING DREAMS…”We've got to have a dream if we are going to make a dream come true.” Warmest regards IJ
