I'm having the same problem actually. I'm just trying to keep my mind off of it--usually going and doing helps me alot. Even if its just running to Walmart or something. I've been renting alot of games and movies as well..that helps too. My drinking has picked up a bit, but I guess thats to be expected. I do wish the best of luck to you!! I know its hard...this is the first time in 10 years that I've even attempted to stop!
have a glass of wine instead
...while I smoke a j!
go to an AA meeting, quick
my first suggestion went out the window after i saw the rest of your question. call your sponsor right now. if not, go to a meeting.
well you could always give in, if you dont think that you would make a habit of it. I dont see anything wrong with it in moderation. If you are truly against it, maybe drink some alcohol. Its not the same, but it will give you a buzz.
Put on a DVD movie that does not have characters smoking anything. Eat lots of chocolate, that'll do WONDERS to help take your mind off it.
This is a tough one. I've been smoking it for a little over 30 years, maybe a narcotics anonynmous meeting would help you.
You could eat a bag a popcorn, watch a movie, and get high on chocolate all at the same time. It's your choice. You should do whatever makes you feel good.
You should of not had one in the first place ever then you would not want one as bad
try to do some other activity like running or study.
If you find a cure, let me know. I've been craving one for a few years.
Brownies...
get drunk.
It's legal.
cheers!
Think of your kids! Would you want them smoking it! Plus your career, is dope worth the risk or ruining your career? And then your life? Don't fool yourself, one puff will lead to another, then one more won't hurt. Get real you have too much to lose.
Once you become a lawyer, then you can fight to legalize it!
I like some of the answer on here, substitute one drug for another! That's good! *sarcasm*
I'm sorry I don't have any good advice other than to keep reminding yourself *why* you don't want to want that joint.
I really just wanted to send you my support. What you are doing is hard and, this may sound hokey, but it takes courage to choose a better life.
Well
1). marijuana is not known to be addictive. (UCLA Crancer)
2). you should not feel guilty or "crooked" for craving to smoke a joint. Marijuana is a weed, that's it. Do you feel "crooked" when you drink a beer?
Probably not, hops, what beer is made from is in the
cannabis family, go figure.
3). You're in Law School. Find Your Local Stoner, and buy a damned joint and get stoned.
I stopped because I made a promise to my Dad that I would stop. It was difficult and each day I had to remind myself of my promise.
Now, 22.5 years later I don't have to remind myself as often!!! LOL.
I don't know for you but maybe make the promise to your kid - he/she will appreciate it later.
Good Luck TC

I gave my heart to the King of kings, Jesus Christ, and He set me free, totally free from drugs and alcohol, cigarettes and all of those things that had me bound. I have not desired any of those things since and it has been over 15 years. Jesus will do the same for you or anyone who calls upon him..
Exercise is a great distraction,and it gives you a natural high.
Drug addiction,like heavy drugs?Go to NA,get a sponsor.That should help with the cravings.You've got too much to lose.Good luck.
i am currently drinking a beer to overcome the same craving you are having. it really is stupid that it is illegal. did you know that smoking marijuana releases the same chemicals in your brain that prozac or one of those anti-depressants does? oh well, we are better off without. really. i swear.
ah, get stoned! its just weed, not like a real drug.
sorry i can't help myself, i don't like knowing your in pain. i guess i should say "STAY STRONG YOU CAN OVER COME THIS, or YOUR SO MUCH BETTER THEN THIS." but really who am i kidding. wrong thing to ask possible stoners.
So don't have one, lots more reasons to not that to. If your in law school do you really want to F*** up? Do you want to fail a pre-employment drug test for a little bit of fun?
I'm 50+ and a few years ago a younger neighbor got friendly and kept inviting us over for a bowl every night, soon I was getting nothing done at all and had to say no, glad I did now.
Do it for yourself, your kid will thank you later.
dont think you can stop the craving hon,all you can do is compare the pro's and cons.the cons far outway the pro's i.e, youre kids and youre future vs a short temporary change in mindset.
anytime you get the craving how about running yourself a nice hot bath,light some candles,get that someone special to give you a back rub maybe put on some kenny g........ehh..maybe i'e said too much,the point is, replace the craving with something that relaxes you and takes youre mind off it.
ps.i'm not into kenny g.
Run ! That's what I used to do when I needed one !
If that is impossible, or undesirable, stay away from anyone who could get you any. And flush any that you have around the house. Seriously, just pull yourself away from society until your craving is over.
If all of these seem like horrible ideas, go for the joint. One won't kill you. Actually, one hundred probably wouldn't kill you. Its a plant for heavens sakes ! And its unaddictive.
Good Luck !
[EDIT] I just reread your question, and I've changed my mind. I don't want you to go for the joint at all. Because of your past drug addiction, this may cause you to want harder drugs. I've seen it happen with my brother. Find one of the suggestions that these kind people gave you that actually work, and I wish you the best of luck.
Keep all of those things in mind and you'll be fine. Don't forget who you are.
Stress? Work out a sweat and gain few pounds in muscle, like in weight lifting. It keeps the fat off and the body ready for action....hmmm...and puts you on good terms with your body, your muscles relax. Good for looks.
The reason it is bad is it keeps from what you really need and they charge way to much for it.
Understand what it is. Everyone needs a crutch to get thru this world, from religion, to power, to lust and beyond. I'm sure that you being a mom (and pretty smart) you know when to call your shots, if not you have a bigger problem than this. Reefer ain't no bad thing by itself. Study about medical marijuana (that's legal in 12 states) when you get back to school. This doesn't make you a crook.
Disgusting.
Get wasted with some booze. It is legal at least, and believe me, the next day you won't want anything to do with any of it.
