Does he smoke aswell? I never have smoked.. just was weed. So i always thought i was just addicted to the nicotine.. but ill never know i guess.. but i do think it was the weed i was addicted to.
When i stopped i wanted to go in the army.. so that was my aim.. i had to have a drug test in 8 month.. so my aim was to train and stay clean.. it was hard i lapsed.. but i got a calander and ticked each day off i was clean… i got there in the end.
So.. i think he needs a goal.. something to aim for.. if hes doing 1 week… tell him go for 2 weeks.. and the cravings will get less and less. Tell him to get some new hobbies, and do a day to day plan of something he never does to keep him occupied.. gym…walks.. if hes spending £20 a day.. tell him lets just save it up and take your little boy somewere nice.
Some people just get stuck in a rut, and its hard to get out of it and they get worried whats beyond the wall if you get me. But its all good. They just need to want it and believe in themselfs
