If you are addicted to marijuana and want to quit, you may find it difficult to stop smoking. You probably didn't know how addicted you were until you tried to quit. The good news is that absolutely anyone can overcome this addiction. If you really want to quit, there are a few things you can do to greatly improve your chances of success.

Make A Plan

First of all, get a plan together before you try to quit. If you try to stop smoking pot without having a plan in place, you will quickly learn just how hard it is. Everything works better if you put forethought into it and quitting marijuana is no different.

Tell Other People That You Are Quitting.

Let your friends or anyone else who knows you smoke that you plan to quit.  This will let them know to avoid talking about it and doing it in front of you.  This is crucial.  One of the main causes of relapse in marijuana users is that their friends provide temptation.  Telling them not to do it around you and asking them to support your decision can make it much easier to stop smoking cannabis.  It helps to have people on your side, and catch you when you fall down.  Subconsciously,  you are preparing yourself stop.  You are also more likely to quit the more you talk about quitting and envision yourself as some who will stop smoking cannabis.

Be prepared

Before you ever quit, take the time to think of the possible situations that you are going to face when you stop smoking cannabis.  Then decide on what your reaction will be when the situation arises.  This will prevent having to make split second decisions when you are weak from withdrawals.  Putting yourself through scenarios before they happen, and choosing the right outcome, will strengthen your resolve to make that decision when the situation actually happens.

When you get cravings, having substitutes such as physical exercise that releases endorphins, movies to watch and calling your sponsor or support person is critical
