I have an earlier quit journal, but I have decided to abandon that one and start anew. The past few months I have completely given up on the idea of quitting. Two weeks ago I set a quit date for August 1st, 2010. I actually ended up smoking on the 1st, but did not smoke at all yesterday. I feel strong about my quit this time around. I have some tools to help me get by.

I have told most of my smoking friends my quit date and informed them I don't get stoned anymore. I am not leaving my house that much for the next two weeks either. I don't want to put myself into ANY situations where there will be pot around.


I am focusing on the important things to me more than ever. I am being more active and involved with my son. I am watching the news. I am reading and will start exercising again shortly. I am actively going to be seeking employment again. I am helping out around the house more so my mother doesn't hate me! It feels nice to be contributing again and not feeling like such a helpless loser.


This is it!

I have three days under my belt so far. I don't feel any different at this point. Falling asleep on night two was rough stuff! I drank a 12 oz beer last night and fell asleep OK. I felt super groggy in the morning though.


In all my past quitting attempts three days was the longest I stopped for. After today is over I will have surpassed my previous record! I am feeling so strong this time. I am getting it done!

I am on my fifth day of not smoking! This is a new record for me! Surprisingly, I have no desire to smoke still. I guess you eventually get so tired of smoking that it becomes easy to quit. In my past attempts I craved to get high through out the entire day. None of that now.I am looking forward to how I will feel in a months time of not smoking weed.

Still not smoking! Still don't feel much different either. The past two days I didn't feel like doing much. I have been having some really freaky dreams too. I swear to god they feel so real! I wake up and think it was really happening to me for a few moments.
