Can't ever seem to have a sober night

About 6 months ago i got heavily into weed, spend 100's of pounds on getting high every night in front of the tv...just wait for my parents to go to bed and then i'd toke up..and i've been doing this since then, pretty much every day...seriously its weird i get like a craving for that feeling in the evening...almost like im worried that i've wasted the day by not doing it..i also find it really hard to sleep when i haven't smoked too, just because my mind is racing and thinking "i could be high right now" and no matter how hard i try to get back to sleep and ignore my craving i just cant...its like an obsession or an addiction.

Except that it really dosn't bother me during the day... i have a great and active social life with loads of friends (im currently in 6th form) and i don't even think about drugs at all. i dont even act like a stoner...my school performance has been the same...if not improving and im just a generally happy, chatty, articulate kind of guy.

then at night i turn into this manic, obsessive...slightly paranoid, sadist drug abuser who can't get by without getting a hit.. Its not even like i particularly enjoy being high anymore..its kind of old and a bit predictable... ive tried to stop but quitting only lasts a couple of weeks at best. i cant seem to get past this...

also recently when weed is not available ive taken to drinking large amounts of alcohol..alone of course *sigh* to acheive the same effects..

my friends have no idea about my problems (or very little idea anyway...they know i smoke weed every now and again) and it really dosnt effect my life during the day..

am i normal?... has anyine else had this experience and how can i get past this!?

    You're best bet is rehab. you're an addict. there is nothing to be ashamed of. sometimes people fuck up and choose drugs and alcohol over the natural high of life. trust me, I'd know. I've been in your shoes before. but not with any drugs or alchol.
    get help soon. <3

    @ shade_ilmaendu Are you really that stupid? Weed isn't physically addictive? If a person becomes DEPENDANT on anything then it's an addiction.

    Stay away from the drugs people. Drugs are for losers!

      Show me the research to back it up and Ill give a thought to your claims. it is psychologically addictive, same as porn, video games, gambling. Fuck man, even caffiene and high fructose corn syrup are physically addictive, and those are legal.

      Not to mention alcohol and cigarettes have extremely high addiction and fatality rates and are legal. Cannabis has never been proven to cause a single death and it treats a wide variety of health problems, and is illegal.

      And it seems youre not intelligent enough to use an edit button so you repost your BS twice ;P Just sayin bro. Its there. Dont double post.

    Wow, if you have that much of a problem with weed, you should probably quit that and the alcohol now and stay away from any other drugs. I've been smoking weed for years and know a lot of other people who smoke and I only met one other person who has addiction problems like that. Do you have a family history of psychological addiction?

    Oh, and the sleeping thing... That's just because you're used to smoking before you go to bed. Weed isn't physically addictive, but a person can become dependent on anything, drugs or other.

    Smoked every day like that, all through highschool and for a year after, all day every day. Until I started having panic attacks every time I smoked. So of course, I quit. It's been a couple years now since I last smoked. But I would still be getting high if I could. I loved the stuff.

    actually the exercise really works...i moved to uni and my supply line has been cut off. i dont really miss it, although i sometimes do get cravings. its hard to tell how im doing really because the university lifestyle right now means im drinking and clubbing three times a week..but obviously it will gradually lessen as we all settle in a bit more.

    u quite normal, i have the similar problems with alcoolhol, i have to drink everyday at least 6 beers can, im not fan of weed ,if i smoke it i start thinking too much weird things and feel dumb, my brother smokes everyday,he are used to it, is like driking water for him.Sleeping is a hard issue when you 've taken those drugs, what i suggest and it works with me , is after you come from school ,run one hour or more in a park or on the street,you ll feel tired and relaxed aftrewards and when we practice sports our body releases natural drugs the endorfines ,serotonines,you 'll feel relaxed and sleep like a baby

    I don't drink or do drugs but it sounds like the amount of drugs you do are having a negative effect on you in the sense that if you don't smoke you get really drunk which could be potentially unhealthy. Maybe you should seek therapy, just a suggestion. You could save a bit of money w/o the weed.

      sometimes i feel like i would be happier that way, but once you've acquired the taste of being high you feel sorry for all the people who are too bigoted to ever try the experience... ignorance is bliss...you never miss what you've never had...kind of thing
