Please) it normal to smoke weed every single day since 13

PLEASE i have wanted to tell my story to someone for so long but i hope someones listening. OKay so i grew up in perth AUSTRALIA and ive been bumming around doing nothing with my life since i first turned a teenager. i have lived with my dad most of my life and he never cared about the things i did. Let me do whatever i want, eat whenever i want and never really matured me to grow as a young adult, but from around age 12 i had my first taste of weed and i loved it, i didnt smoke much but never the less i smoked about once a week smoking ciggarettes the same just whenever i could. Although when i was around 13-14 i dropped out of the start of highschool and i shit you not i smoked atleast a bowl everyday (and yes with todays facebook you can score a free blaze from the thousands of people on your friends list) i hustled alot on the daily and stole for my addiction becasue me and all my mates had nothing better to do not going to school
and if you wernt reading proper i meant EVERY single day, days like on my birthdays, on my parents birthdays, christmas, every damn day the most to this day and im almost 19 i have ever gone without is 5 days.
But right now i actualy feel dead inside i have no purpose or reason to live and this feeling has turned me to alcoholism it gives me that confidence boost and makes me feel alive and happy which now have been drinking almost on the daily for a few months But my body mind and soul is just dying, i have no one to talk to about this because all my boys are thuggin guys and would just laugh at me for this so If anyone could speak to me id appreciate it so so much

    You sound just like me when I was 10 years younger lol. Smoking weed everyday is fine if it doesn't interfere with your life. I've smoked always since about 12 and I'm now 30. Only thing I've noticed is its made me less outgoing. I'll skip parties to sit at home stoned playing playstation then whinge that I don't have a life lol. But don't turn to alcohol out of boredom. As soon as its a pattern very easy to become an alcoholic. I am and booze has ruined my fucking life. I'm ok but in lots of debt, in a shitty job, lost my partner of 11years and I have two kids. And that's all thanks to booze. Most of my fucked moments in life have been booze fueled. Smoke weed....dont become an alcoholic

    Exact same story here, with a few differences, caring father but not around due to divorce, confused a bit but one thing I kept my mind on was school, no matter how fucked up shit gets, if u do school properly and finish with good grades, get into university, life itself will give u a purpose...a career which will then turn your thoughts into wanting to start a family. U can be homeless and make something of yourself if u concentrate on one thing. I strongly recommend school, high school is dumb as shit but it gets better in university. And I stopped smoking 5 months ago after smoking for 12 years on the daily, no rehab, no bs support from friends and family. I told myself, if I can't stop I'm a junkie and a pussy so I should man the fuck up and get shit done. Went to jail too for almost a year, kinda puts shit into perspective. Weed will give a thousand and one excuses not to stop or to compromise, just remember that feeling of emptiness and shame and tell yourself your a man not a little bitch who makes excuses to stay in his comfort zone without hurting your little princess feelings. I believe that tough love works and so far so good.

    Alcohol will absolutely ruin your life once it becomes a habit, trust me. Ive lost everything three or four times over, including my time I could of been doing other more productive things. Not to mention im facing a possible two year jail sentence because of alcohol. Fuck alcohol, literally the worst mainstream drug ever.

    Yeah, just stop smoking. That alcohol will fuck you up permanently and the weed will only fuck with your thoughts for a few months after quitting. Cannabis can make you feel like nothing is real and like there is no point in many things, it's just showing you so many perspectives of life. Just set a goal (a major one) and get your mind off weed, especially that alcohol. If you wanna be relaxed similary to bud, want that confidence and buzz from alcohol and a slightly dreamy state of consciousness without doing much harm, I recommend kava kava. Probably doesn't taste good and I'm gonna try it soon but from what I've heard from people personally and online, is that it's great. I have researched the side effects and there aren't many however if you use it often you can get yellowish skin (temporary) and liver damage. Have a kava tea everynight ONCE you get your shit done. Get a good job first and have something to look forward to after work. Weed could do that but that's not what you want in your situation. Weed will take you deep into your subconscious thoughts and sedate you, you want that sedation without thinking of yourself all the time, that's when people start feeling depressed and psychotic, like nothing is real. Any single method that takes you into your subconscious mind further whether psychedelics/dissociatives or meditation/sensory deprivation can all make you feel depressed and psychotic if your brain isn't exposed to this reality in a clear state of mind all the time. Our minds are used to altered states of consciousness (at least I feel) at night as our states of consciousness naturally alter when we are tired. So if you don't wanna take weed outta your life (which is easy as fuck anyway), save it for night, not long before you sleep.

    If you really want to kick these addictions, you could try calling Kids Helpline or Lifeline (both anonymous) and get information on what other help is available for you in your area. There's no way you can do this by yourself, so the second step after your post to this forum is to get help.

    We all get addicted to something that takes away the pain. I am not judging you or anything because we all have our own ways of coping with out lives. It is not normal to consume that much and I would go so far as to tell you that the health consequences of such habits are huge. If you want somebody to talk to then I'm up for talking. However, I can't really tell you to stop and do something better with yourself because that's all you. I wish you well.
