Marijuana is an: Addictive substance. If you are smoking daily and are having trouble cutting down, your body is addicted. AA is one place where you could learn about stopping or consult with a psychologist who specializes in addictions.

Habit: There is no physical dependency to this plant but a habit is still hard to break. Go to stop smoking websites and see how they recommend tobacco users quit minus any nicotine supplements. You need to identify when you use and what your triggers are then avoid those situations. A few minutes of doing something else during those times is enough to stop that craving. gl

Please change your: "self talk." Every time you think or say "I have to" you are reinforcing that idea in your head. Some pot smokers and other substance users have an underlying anxiety disorder. A mental health professional can help you understand if this is your case and teach you coping strategies. Bodywork, yoga, and other bodily exercises can be helpful. Peace and good health.
