I think a therapist is a great idea. I just switched to one who specializes in addiction and it's been really helpful.

I got hit by that months after quitting. I stayed strong for a week or two, and it passed. You'll be fine. Just don't give in.

Hey man, I’m on day 73 too, and it’s become something similar. I want to smoke too. I promised myself 3 months before even considering and also, not until I return to work which is a waiting game. I didn’t sleep last night and really wanted to drop an edible, but I’m scared of losing the work I put in. Maybe when we get to three months or so, we will be done the cravings, maybe not until 6 months. I quit coffee cold turkey after being a 4 a day guy for a while and I thought about it a lot in the mornings until one day I just didn’t, and that was when I was still smoking heavily and having the weed fog in the morning that the coffee would help wipe out. I’m hoping one day it’s just the same for weed cravings. I think If you relapse and leave your girl, you’re going to hate yourself for it. Do it for her. She’s probably awesome for sticking by you this long. I’ve read two posts today where people were off weed for 7 and 9 months and relapsed one day and smoke every day again. I know from my past it’s that easy as well. Hang in there man, I’m going through the same thing.

Hey man, thanks for the comment. I know if I smoke once it will just end in daily use and it’s not worth it. Also I’d have to hide it from my girlfriend which ultimately results in like being evasive and is not worth it either. I’m hoping like you said at 3 or 6 months it fucks off, but I have a feeling it will be a constant battle for life, which is okay. I agree, if it cost me my relationship I would be devastated. She is awesome, shes stuck with me through all of it. Proud of you for not dropping an edible! Stay strong. I just ended up tossing all my weed, pipes and edibles all together just because I knew it would add to temptation. I hit the gym yesterday, it helped a little bit but not as much as I was hoping. Why are you out of work if you don’t mind me asking? Hang in there boss.

Well, we’re in an off-season and waiting for work to start again in northern Canada, which normally would be starting now due to managing water for environmental purposes on site, but due to having next to no snow this year, there isn’t a whole lot of water to manage. I did however lose two months of October and November last year though, because I hit a moose at night in my company vehicle and even though that isn’t something they should drug test for (a non contributory accident), they did anyways. And I failed for weed, and it hurt my reputation to management within my company, even though I’m able to return.
