I started taking drugs at an early age, mind you, it wasn't by influence. It was just my decision.

I've been abusing drugs for over 8 years and it has clearly damaged my self-esteem, personality and confidence.

I've abused weed that I no longer get hungry again, no matter how heavy I smoke and this triggers WEIGHT LOSS for me that everyone in the street keeps saying "You're GETTING LEAN".

I'm sometimes ashamed of my looks and i think its high time I STOPPED.

Smoking is so bad that no matter how much you make, you still live very poor if you're 5 star addicted.

I need genuine advice and lashing, I truly don't Mind.

Stop the drugs not the weed.

for the fact that admitted having a problem, you've are halfway through. Let's wait for the elders and technical advising crew.

Since you know that what you are doing is affecting your health and bringing shame to you...Then you don't need us to tell you to stop and how to stop it...


You know the things that you see and the places you go that trigger the urge...So avoid those things and starve yourself the urge to returning back or you reduce the intake from ten wraps a day to five wraps to two wraps to one and how to finally nail it....

Then for the drugs..... it's always an influence... whether you were talked into it or you read about it... Something influenced you into it and you have to search deep to cut it off....


Good luck fella...

Firstly...
You are probably at the stage where part of you wants to quit smoking, but another part of you doesn't, and you're not sure of yourself because as most smokers intend to quit smoking, they still think they will fail. Well, what you feed between the two; lives, and the other dies.

I want you to know that nothing is impossible. The addiction can always be stopped. It just demands strong determination, commitment and never-going-back attitude to overcome it. You must understand it's a long adjustment period. You should know that you're about to sacrifice smoking for better life and healthy living.

One crucial advice here is that, don't have the mindset of quitting smoking all at once, it's not done that way. It has always been said by ex-smokers several times that quitting smoking suddenly is more exhausting and deadly. You start the withdrawal little by little. Although a gradual withdrawal is still accompanied by some symptoms you have to endure for the time being, it's still the better choice for the best results.

You should note down every trigger that takes you towards smoking or make you unable to resist the urge to smoke everyday. For example, placing the weed, lighter, matches ashtrays besides your bed or anywhere near you, drinking alcohol, passing the area you buy the weeds or meeting the person you buy it, staying with smoker friends, etc. You should get rid of all these smoking reminders.

You set a goal to smoke less(less wraps) for a week and make sure you achieve it like your life depends on it. The following week, you set another goal to smoke lesser, and it goes on till you escape from the bondage. The first two weeks are all about distractions, keeping busy and being good to yourself. Keep busy with fun, low stress activities.

You should also heed to the advice of other people.
Lest I forget, don't focus on your struggles and ignore your successes. Celebrate your small victories.

And lastly, you should share your testimony after you overcome it so as to encourage other smokers towards quitting.


Can't wait to read that you live a smoking-free life!
