Marijuana addiction continues to grow, not only has the potency of the drug become more powerful over the years, but it is almost as easily available as alcohol and tobacco. Marijuana addiction manifests similar symptoms as in the case of any other addiction. The harmful effects on the body worsen over time. But, patience and effort can help you quit marijuana.

Will power is crucial. You have to decide to stick to your decision to quit marijuana addiction. This is not as difficult to do as you may feel. First, you must be kind to yourself. Also, do not analyze how you got into the addiction but simply make a promise to get over the addiction no matter what.

A sure way to keep you on the path of healing without succumbing to the drug is to knit a close circle of family and friends around you. Understandably, they may get angry with you initially but in the long-term, they are the ones who will give you the love, support and confidence when you need it most. Both your emotional and physical health becomes fragile with addiction. Only loved ones can therefore, help you handle the pain.

Once you have decided to quit marijuana addiction, you may need to go to a rehabilitation centre so that professionals can monitor and help you. Simultaneously, you must cut all ties with old friends who were party to your addiction. Any places or events that served as triggers for your addiction should also be listed and avoided.

Finding others who are also trying to quit marijuana addiction through support groups can make your struggle easier. You can discuss your situation and how each one of you handles the challenge relating to de-addiction. This will benefit the entire group.

If you can't find or choose not to join some sort of local support group, they arent always for everybody and sometimes people dont always agree with their religious beliefs, at least try to find one online, having a place to get advice, share how you feel and connect with others who are going through the same will really help your recovery.

New Age therapies, hypnosis and music with subliminal messages may help in de-addiction. Also, take up different kinds of hobbies and go for entertainment options that interested you before you started the addiction. Exercising regularly will boost your confidence, your immune system and will power.

Addiction need not destroy your life. You must help yourself get over it before help from others benefits you. With a determination to quit addiction, even withdrawal symptoms can finally be conquered and you can begin a beautiful life afresh.
