Hi alan..im 35.. i did cannabis when i was about 14 to 19. I was very addicted. Everyday i had it for 4 years i counted.. i thought it was clever at the time i was having it everyday.
I got stoned in school. And my GCSEs suffered for this. All Fs.
I made my mum n dads life a bit stressfull you could say. I had a bit of a temper.
Now this is what i did to stop.
I really wanted to stop. It made my chest really bad and i didnt go anywere just got stoned in my mates never had a gf at the time.
I found it very hard to stop. I started with a calender taking each day as it comes. Crossing 1 day off at a time i had not had it. I did a few days were i had stopped. Which was good
But it wasnt enough. So i decided why not go in the army.. you get drug tested.. so id have to quit before my drug test in 6 month.. and getting fit and running helped me stop. I was 6 month clean.
And i had my army test, i didnt get in for certain reasons.
But i was a changed man. And i was clean from it. I think i was just trying to get in the army to get me off it.
But what ive learned to quit drugs mainley is.
You have to want to quit.
You have to set goals.
You have to change your routine/life around.
I hope this helps alan
