How can i stop smoking weed and get a normal teenageer life? -

so ive been smoking weed since the 7th grade im in 10th now and its just gotten in way over my head, i lost the majority of my friends, made new ones but there all stoners like me, dropped out of the main highschool in my area cause of a fight, go to a charter skool wher everybody smokes, and it seems like thats all i do now, i spend 100% of my money on it, its just getting old, i literally dont have any other intrest , dont like any sports, tried church too boring....i want a job but im sure they drug test before you even get the job so idk what can i do to stop smoking?Quit smoking and get a normal life. You want to quit but you have to stop it and change your life which will not be easy, and you will slip up and go back. But you have to tell yourself every day and every time you want to smoke, -No I want a different path- and just deal with the urge. As for drug tests it is in your system for about 30 days, the best thing to do is drink plenty of water and exercise to help get it out. If they test your hair it stays a little longer I think but, You have to just do it and live for yourself, not weed, not your friends, not anyone but you and what you want. I hope you do it, there will be people who will support you like AA or NA and there will be new friends who will support your decision, I will support your decision. Good Luckgo to a na meeting ask for help get a sponserok find a hobby that you like more than it. then you need to get all of your weed and flush it down the drain. the next time some one asks you to buy or smoke some, walk away. then talk to some one about it.

Oh and you might want to go back to a regular school if you want to have a shot at life.You just got to think about your future, do you want to go to college or have a good career? start cutting down and just keep cutting down until you don-t do it anymore. then enroll back into a regular school, and focus on good grades, and friends and that good stuff.Good News: Pot does not contain anything that-s chemically addicting, so it-s easier to quit than most other illegal substances.

Bad News: Since you-ve been using it for awhile, you may have an emotional attachment to the drug. In order to quit it you-re going to have to will power yourself away from it. Tell yourself that smoking weed is -not an option!- and every time you get the urge tell yourself that. If you can get through 40 days without smoking weed, you-ll be home free.

You may also want to consult a treatment center or your doctor.

Best of luck to you.um.. just say no. and get some confidence in yourself. its just weed. its not the most addicting drug.The fact that you see the problem for what it is shows that you are totally able to do this. You just have to respect yourself more than you respect the addiction. Get involved in anything you can, not including pot. Weed is such a motivation and time stealer, once you rise above the fog, you will regain interest in other activities. I promise...for real. Keep trying, don-t give up. Even if you fall off the wagon, get back on. However many times it takes, you are worth it. Tell a teacher or school counselor what is going on, maybe you can find a good support system there. Good luck to you.at least you want to get better... so that-s a start (:
try different things... i know it sounds really cliche, but you might actually find something you like and continue from there. most importantly, focus on school... get out of the charter school if you can and go to one that has good students and teachers... not necessarily a private school or anything... just another high school in your area.

all you have to do is start from scratch. i-m sure you-ll do fine... you seem promising (: good luck!Don-t blame the weed. Your problem is you-re just too lazy.Force yourself to get involved with something that you know is good for society or your community. Just take that first step, and you-ll be on your way to a better life.Some advice, contact no., and support groups are shown in section 52, on addictions, at

Teen resources are shown in section 13, on pages A, K, - R. Find new friends, who don-t use it; change schools. Also see section 9. If you backslide, (try not to) just reaise you are human, and fallible, then start over, and learn from it.Get a girlfriend who doesn-t smoke. She-ll find you so annoying when you-re high that you-ll have to quit.you just make the decision to stop smoking, and you do it. Get into a 12 step program. Change your friends. Don-t hang out with the old friends anymore because they will want you to stay doing the old behaviors. Its alot of work to give up an old habit, but its good that you recognize the problem. It will only get worse and you will be an adult drug addict and never hold a job or have a decent life. You dont want that. Clean up as quickly as possible. Maybe you can be a drug addiction counselor with other teens and help them clean up too,Talk to an adult that is willing to help you.
Find somebody who care about you and would push you to stop smoking weed.
Be DETERMINE to quit, it-s gonna be a hard road. But with the proper help and people that wants to help you, you-ll be normal again.
Call some teen helpline or something. And if you could, talk to your parents.
