Please help! I need to desperately quit smoking weed. Can you help me?Okay I know what you are thinking. This is a really long detailed post, but if you have the heart to help me ( and I REALLY need help), it will require that you can analyze my current life conditions. So here it goes.
I'm a 17 year old male and am a senior in high school (though I only go to college). I have been a fairly heavy user of smoking marijuana. I have been smoking a generous amount of weed at least every other day or everyday. This has been going on for about 14 months now. The longest I've gone without smoking is 7 days.
I have to say though that I am happy that I have started smoking weed because I have now developed an extremely liberal attitude from smoking. I've become Buddhist atheist based on my beliefs. I even have thoughts of becoming a vegan after I'm done growing (but for now I need the protein from meat so I can grow, I sometimes feel really bad when I eat meat) You could definitely say I'm a hippie.
Smoking weed hasn't given me any negative side effects except for maybe some stunted growth which I'm not sure of (I haven't grown a single inch since I started high-school which was two years before I started smoking. My dad is 5'3" and my mom is 5'8" and I'm about 5'7") .
Ever since I've started smoking I have been teaching Taekwondo to kids, placed in several state and national events, lettered several times in track, have been heavily involved in boy scouts, OA, and other leadership programs and I'm even an eagle scout. So you can't say that smoking weed has made me lethargic or stupid (I have been attending college since I was 16 and have maintained a 3.5) I am currently also living in my own apartment with my room mate.
If anything, I smoking weed has been a major motivation for me. In fact, the only reason why I have excelled so much is because I used weed as my motivator.
Now here's my goal. I want to quit smoking because it could stunt my growth, its unhealthy, and I don't want to develop mental problems later in life from chronic usage.
And here's the real problem (this is the part where I need your help).
Well, so far I have been clean for 6 days and I'm REALLY getting the urge to smoke. I always get these urges after around 3-4 days and now its bad. So I really need some sort of distraction or replacement for smoking weed (I don't play video games or find TV amusing). I need some sort of replacement that will allow me to relax and feel good. Maybe meditation? Or drinking tea? I need something that will make me feel really good and will motivate me to continue on with my hard work (and no masturbation is not helping and sex will require a relationship and I need answers now).
So please I need some master idea that will replace my motivation of coming home every night from a busy hard day of work and getting high.
Thank you so much. I know this is an extremely long post, but you need to understand the conditions that surround me and my busy life in order to help.
Once again thanks.

Get a girlfriend. that's what motivated me to quit. The feeling you get from someone you really love makes it way easier not to get high. I know this sounds stupid but it really worked.

just smoke it man and enjoy :]. it won't make you have mental problems when you're older and it's not unhealthy or anything. it actually has anti cancer properties in it

go to crack -_- jk
You're whole life has been based around it so it's going to be life changing. It's not addicting so maybe you just need sum1 to talk to like a professionsl psych.
Anyone Know?
You need professional help.
In the UK we have walk-in centres, somebody close to me is on his way there this week. He has been smoking since 16, and now he is mid 30's, he is regretting not doing anything for the last decade.
For the first time he admits he has a problem, and well I guess that is his first step, as it is yours.
I'm not sure YA! is the best place for help, but you may want to avoid seeing your doctor (as my friend has done), as it will stay on your record, and who needs that, right?
But you have my blessings, and good luck to you!

Honestly, weed isn't a bad thing. If you really want to stop, when you get the urges remind yourself that you want to stop and why, if that doesn't motivate you then I'm not sure what will. Its not like weed is addictive. Trust me, over the last three years I've been in college and have literally taken no more than maybe a day or 2 off from smoking. I haven't smoked in 3 weeks because I'm getting ready to start working and be an adult. I still want to smoke all the time but I just remind myself that I have bigger plans in life and right now I need to get motivated to accomplish what I seek to accomplish in life. Also, I'm not really sure weed has stunted your growth if you didn't grow for 2 years before you started, based on your parents heights, you sound like you're around the height you should be. If you really can't use your future to motivate you to stop, maybe you should try stopping a little at a time, like take a week off, then 10 days, then 2 weeks and keep building up. Just a suggestion from a fellow stoner.
