Victoria,
Thanks soooo much for your support and encouragement. I have read the messages further down on the board. I'm having a hard time not belittling my problem because others have bee addicted for so much longer than I. I feel like since I've been addicted a short time, it should be easier for me. And it probably is, but intellectually I know it still sucks horribly. Trying to keep my head up. But it is very hard. Went to some of the places with e-mail listservs (like egroups.com and topica.com) and was suprised there wasn't many for pot addicts -- indeed the only one I could find was w/ Marijuana Anon. So, I started one. I don't know. This just sucks. How do you deal with the cravings? Any tips? Congrats on your commitment to quite after 20 years. How amazing. I just can't imagine. You must be so proud of yourself quitting! Wow. You are an inspiration.
