Want To Stop Smoking Marijuana?

This is a short guide on how to stop smoking marijuana. I highly recommend you to stick to this step by step process for at least 21 days, as studies have shown that you can develop a new habit by doing something 21 consecutive days in a row.

Step 1: Write down what you want to achieve.

You want to write down your own personal goal of quitting smoking pot. The reason being that research has shown that those who write their goals tend to reach their goals more often than those who don’t write their goals down.

Be as specific as you can when writing down your goals. Reasons, dates, targets and rewards should all be clearly detailed. You can keep this information private, or you can share it with a close friend or two if you feel that you would prefer some support.

Step 2: Be clear on why exactly you want to stop smoking marijuana.

The most important step is to find out your own inner reason. You want to dig deep inside and find out the core reason you want to quit smoking pot. Once you figure out that deep inner reason, you will have a strong enough reason to achieve your goal of becoming sober.

Once you have clarity, you will have all the leverage and motivation you need to do whatever it takes to achieve your new goal. Without having clarity, you will probably fail, as when you feel tempted to smoke again, you will have no good reason not to.

Step 3: Don’t keep it a secret.

It helps to share your goal with others. The reason being that once you tell other people, there is that added pressure to really achieve your goal so you won’t lose face. This is a simple little trick to help you get that extra motivation to do what you promised you would do.

Step 4: Find something more productive to do with your time.

If you are a chronic pot smoker, then you probably don’t spend much, if any, time doing anything else. Therefore, your mind is always thinking about smoking, because it has nothing else to occupy itself with.
