Quitting/Self-control

[Sanctuary]

Long story short, my friend convinced me to take ecstasy with him 2 days ago and I agreed. We only took 1/4 of a pill each and I really enjoyed it. Yesterday we took half a pill each, then ended up taking the other half making it a full pill.
The first time was really fun, awesome feeling of euphoria, lasted about 7 hours. 2nd time it was even better, lasted about 10-12 hours, but now I'm feeling bad about taking it, so I'm just going to stop myself while I'm ahead and before I get emotionally attached to ecstasy. I also want to quit smoking marijuana too, just because.

Does anyone have any tips of how to quit? Or just self-control tips in general?
I have a hookah pen so I can just use that instead of weed while I'm hanging out with friends that smoke, but I feel that if I hang around them while they're smoking, I'll want to smoke too. The people I hang out the most smoke, and they're my closest friends, so I don't want to stop hanging out with them just because of that.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out.

Well the best way to quit. Is just stay away from it and from people who do it. You need a positive influence. Play video games, listen to music, read a book, just get your brain away from the thought. Think positive thoughts. Hope this helps a bit.

So your quitting on smoking marijuana because you feel that you feel too attach to ecstasy?
But if you really need help. Instead of smoking try to get a cool hobby, like playing Xbox or working out what ever that keeps your mind off of weed. (Which is impossible for me.)

And if your hanging out with friends make a lame ass excuse that you just got a P.O. or some shit so they don't pass it to you.

Off-topic: Are you sure your quitting on smoking or taking a break?

Marijuana was just a gateway drug for me, like it is for many people. After smoking for a certain amount of time, I wasn't really afraid of trying more "hardcore drugs" I guess you could say. I guess I'm just trying to stop myself before I get into some stupid shit. Seems a bit drastic, but after I was scavenging my friend's room, bathroom, ashtray, and floor for any tiny bit of weed, I kinda figured I'm the type of person that shouldn't be doing things like this.

And I probably won't quit forever, but just for a good amount of time I'm hoping.

Quitting is not as hard as it may seem; throw any and all marijuana paraphernalia away that is inexpensive. Literally isolate yourself from smoking. Store your expensive pieces or give them to a friend that is a also a smoker.

Unless your weed man is a friend, delete all your dealers' numbers out of your phone. Block their numbers if you must. By doing so you're isolating yourself being able to acquire the bud.

After doing that, keep yourself busy so you don't consistently think about smoking. Read a book, watch some TV, hang with a few babes (that don't smoke obviously). Other than all that, stay motivated. Good luck, Sanc.

Stay out of situations for a week or so that there will be weed present. After that you should be able to control yourself.

I have a close friend who got caught up in ecstasy. He had success in becoming sober due to the fact that he encountered a death as a result of an od. This life changing experience gave him the motivation to wake up and begin his cleanse. If you have the motivation to quit than seek assistance at a rehabilitation clinic or forever regret. Best of luck my friend.

So what I know about X is that its not physically addictive but it could be mentally addictive like in some cases marijiuana. Also you describe how you took more the 2nd time and thats because that feeling you had the first time in order to achieve that once again you will have to keep on taking more and more. In my opinion I think X is a dangerous drug. Stick to the natural and organic drugs such as herb. Also if you are looking to trip take something natural.

Wow. I can completely relate to this.

A couple months back in January, I had the sudden urge to experiment with LSD (aka Acid), I thought it was amazing, pure euphoric trip, did it a couple more times, and everything. Nothing went wrong during my trips to set me off, but one day I woke up after a trip and felt really bad about myself, because I realize I'm better than that. I decided to quit taking drugs, and managed to keep away from marijuana for a few months.

I smoked a couple times last month, and now I'm beginning to smoke everyday again.

In my honest opinion, do what you want, whatever makes you happy.

You stay away from the people. I did it for a year, and then went down the wrong path again after reuniting with some old friends. If you really want to better yourself and quit focus on things that do you good. Not ecstasy or weed. Or anything else of the sort for that matter.

People who say marijuana is not a gate-way drug well here is your proof,it is... lucky for me i have self-control I've been smoking ganja for a while now,and never tried any chemical drugs, and i wanted to quit marijuana and here am i, its my 5th day with no weed.
Its really easy to quit bro, just say NO to someone offering you a joint, and if you buy, just don't. Good luck.

Well I'm glad someone is taking an a change for good. I have nothing against weed but if this is what you feel is important to you then Good.

Try to do simple things like your hooka pin and definitely stay away from pills(even if your sick) just until you get rid of the ecstasy habit. I'm rooting for you and I'm sure everyone else is.
GOOD LUCK!
