hi...

i didnt know where to talk to anybody. i dont really have any friends, or the friends i have dont want to hear about it. or they want me high.

i smoke about an ounce a week. 2 weeks ago, my roommate got arrested and the worst thing going through my mind was whether or not i should flush the weed, and where i would find more. i've chosen weed over food a bunch of times (though im an ex-anorexic, so food has never been high on my priorities list). my exfiance/best friend told me that if i smoked anymore, he would stop talking to me and get a restraining order on me, and possibly arrest me (he's a cop). but i keep on smoking. i've prostituted myself for weed money.

my roommate, before he lived with me, was homeless and addicted to crack. when he started living with me was when we started going through ounces a week. i agreed to get off xanax bars and he agreed to get off crack, so we got high off weed instead and figured it was safer. and i didnt worry about being addicted because i wasn't doing it alone, it was a social thing. we just always had something to celebrate about. and he was always here to reassure me that we werent addicted, we were self-medicating our respective old addictions, as well as our bipolar-ness. but now that he's been arrested, i keep doing it every night alone, and wake and bake on weekends, and i feel worse and worse about it so i smoke more until i pass out every night.

but the thing is that it doesn't interfere with my work. in fact, i'm excelling at work. i just got promoted and have already impressed my new boss with my work ethic. i've only been smoking since early december 2007 and i recently spent 2 days completely sober without wanting it at all. i always get everything done that needs to get done before i smoke, and i'm facing a month of having a very limited supply and i'm ok with that.

i don't know. im used to people running my life for me. i might just be looking for someone to reassure me that i'm not addicted. but i'm on my way to my first step if i am addicted, so i guess im just looking for opinions.

If your ok with not having a plentiful supply, and can go days without it, then you're not addicted IMO. Your just an experienced smoker.

Those who have to smoke every waking hour of the day, and can't tolerate not smoking it for even say a few hours, are those who need help.

I would say, if your losing your social circle because of it, then I would curb the consumption slowly, just to prevent any major withdrawal symptoms (if any), just in case your body is chemically attached, which it doesn't seem to be at this point in time.

Personally, i know plenty of people who have the similar thing going. They can tolerate not smoking without a problem, don't get withdrawal effects, but smoke a ton. Marijuana is definitely an interesting substance to say the least.

Addiction does not go with people smoking once a week. If it was an addiction you wouldn't have passed those two days that you have mentioned without smoking.
