I felt like I wrote that its so spot on to what im goin thru. im 19 right now.

now im sure I will built momentum at the second week but I lack the willpower to get to there. its not impossible but I got this overwhelming attachment to marijuana. the first week is seriously me being like blank of enjoyment just feeling like desensitized and sad, seems that quitting isn't worth it and that this is life without it.

its good to have someone who knows exactly what im goin thru do you have any good advice for the mental battle of the first week or 2?

I was all about it as well. till some friends started to mess with me. i just started to take that hate i had for them and just promised myself i'll be a lot better than them. I walked away from a few friends because they weren't my friends. Always sitting in a circle doing the same shit. it got old quick. be BETTER than them. im not saying all potheads that do that are not worthy to be your friend. im just saying if u wanna better yourself. you gotta do what u gotta do. That mental battle of NEEDING it. that differs for everyone. You gotta have a reason why u DO want to quit. For me it was just bettering myself. I look at some of my friends now, and well, they're doing the same shit. thinking slow, not getting what people are saying, asking huh? what? all the damn time. and well i rather not be there anymore doing the same shit they do all day. i wasnt trying to be a better person i was "happy" at where i was. but then after getting that antisocial feeling and everything, they never took me seriously any more, they just thought i was being stupid. but after being clear minded and not having to need it anymore. it took a great weight off. i save so much more money. and started making more money as well. i cant say that to the rest of my buddies. but i mean. that's always a plus in my book. i get things done before deadlines. im always progressing. rather than sitting down getting high and feelin lazy to do anything (i use to smoke 26% indicas and that's what im growing now) but i mean just the feeling of accomplishment should be your drive. some people are different tho. i was a lazy stoner. but after stopping. i could do a lot more. but like i said, put it down, for a while. till you're like 21-25. cuz if you start smoking on it regularly, from 19 and up, you're gonna have a harder time getting off, or shaking that anti social feeling away. it'll get stuck. and u wont realize it til it's too late. you gotta have your own reasons to quit. otherwise like some of my friends said and asked. "why'd u quit if there was no reason for you to quit?" i had my own reasons, and i was being "suppressed" by that antisocial feeling reallly hard. if you wanna break away from those feelings, the only way to do it is to face your fears while lit, and trying to get more social while your high, or to drop it, and gradually have those social skills start to come back naturally. willpower is everything. if u can cold turkey like i did. you can do anything. same thing with cigarettes. what u wanna be, what u wanna do, u can do it if u put ur mind to it. and if you can just simply say no, that's the first step. u can do anything u put ur mind to. because u will have that willpower to do it and get there. it all starts by just saying no. you're doing this for yourself. not anyone else. if u cant do it for yourself, then i cant help you, because first you need to be able to help yourself first and foremost.

edit: that last part i know i sounded like a dick, but that's how my real bro's talk to me. my true friends. they get me thinking, and they're right. im not trynna be one. im just trying to give you some advice that they gave me. if you look like a stoner, talk like a stoner, they're gonna treat u like a stoner. you start talking proper, acting proper, dressing proper, they're gonna treat u proper. basically, "time to grow up" get outta that stoner phase, it'll help u out.
