A great challenge, but something that is very possible – that’s the best way to describe a person’s struggle to get his back life together after years of smoking weed. The struggle does not confine itself only on the physical aspects of cannabis use withdrawal, but also on the psychological and emotion levels of a person who’s been used to smoking weed regularly for a period of time.
The 30-Day Self-Help Plan released by University of Notre Dame’s Student Well-being McDonalds Center is a concrete plan that offers a holistic way to recover from marijuana addiction. It explores factors that drove individuals to turn to smoking weed, myths about marijuana use and treatment options used through the years, and a detailed 30-day plan that could be easily followed. Starting with a self-assessment questionnaire to prepare one’s self for the program to how lessons gained from the 30-day plan could also be applied to different circumstances in life.
While having a concrete plan helps in any person’s quest to quit smoking weed, nothing beats positive reasons to drive them out of their addiction.
The following are some positive reasons to quit smoking weed:
- Gaining control over life decisions
- Years of smoking weed could have thrown a person into an abyss as more of his decisions are dependent on whether he would be able to smoke again or not. A marijuana-free life brings greater control over where you would be taking your life – you’ll be able to fully pursue your goals.
- Greater self-respect
- Low self-esteem is one of the reasons many teenagers are led to cannabis addiction. These young ones are thinking that by smoking weed, they would be able to not only look cool, but be much respected. However, this is not the case in all situations. Smoking weed has been proven to cause psychiatric disorders including development of lower self-respect.
- Greater clarity in decision making and thinking
- Losing touch of reality is among the many effect of illegal drug dependency. Through years of weed addiction, rehabilitating one’s self is a great reward to gain greater perspective in making decisions.
- Reduced levels of anxiety and stress
- While many thinks that smoking weed addresses anxiety and stress, studies have shown that it really does not. Feelings of anxiety and mental depression are what is burying people into marijuana addiction.
- No more feeling of fleeting good mood hours after smoking weed
- Days or even years of an optimistic look into life is among the great promises after one decided to quit smoking weed. Unlike when a person is dependent on weed, happiness and good mood are only guaranteed while and a few moments after smoking. Quitting offers a longer span of an uplift mood.
Having a great set of family and friends to support an individual’s journey to quit smoking weed have shown greater chances of success. Receiving positive reinforcement to continue the rehabilitation along with a very rigid 30-day plan to recovery will surely make it a breeze to end marijuana addiction.
