Is it normal to know what you're doing is wrong yet you keep doing it?

The first time I smoked weed was my 17th birthday. The next time I smoked after that changed my life to now. The summer into my senior year until now feel likes a complete blur, as well as the repetition of the same question, "Where did the time go?". Heading into college after my senior made things worse due to the fact that I had to make my own decisions; which ultimately was to become a pothead.

Since weed did not gateway me to other drugs, I thought that it was ok to smoke it. However, I started to get depressed about my life because I lost by best friends, was doing poorly in school, and felt that I deserved nothing because I was a pothead.

I am now 23 and want to change my life around before I lose complete control over it. I need some advice on how to stop constantly thinking about weed. I know that if I can kick weed to the curb, I can be so much more productive and contribute to society, rather than being a degenerate loser.

Thanks for listening.

    At least weed isn't addictive in the same sense as, for example, tobacco - you've got that going for you. But I do think you will need to look at more in the lifestyle area - as in, what do you do with all the time you have on your hands that was previously spent in a goofy fog? Having plans, activities, developing interests etc. will fill the time and keep your mind occupied more usefully. Boredom may be the bigger problem, IMO.

    I commend you for your want of change. It shows you are maturing which is something many people lact the initiative for, so at least give yourself that credit. My friends say that smoking weed is hard to give up because it's so easy to do and easy to get but a couple of them have kicked it to the curb like you want to, so it is possible. I will ask their advice for you. Just be proud of yourself so far!

    I still want to smoke all the time and get intense cravings for it. I just don't buy it, that's it. You just have to make yourself quit, there's no other way. The first three days or so are going to be horrible. I don't know if you've ever quit before, but whenever I did I felt kinda nauseous, had no appetite and was really depressed and emotional. Don't get discouraged because it may take a long time for you to feel like your old self again. I quit over two years ago and just recently have I noticed that I'm feeling my old quick wit come back again. You just have to want it!
