I have a close friend that has been smoking weed most of his adult life. Each time he tries to quit, his mood becomes so...rocky is the best way to describe it, he gives up and goes back. It doesn't help that the weed is partially medicinal-minimally so-he suffers from debilitating arthritis in his spine.
So each time he goes 'on the wagon', it becomes a case of soothing his increasing temper and using diversionary tactics.
As a plain ol' cigarette smoker, I know how difficult it is to quit anything-I can't stop this even though I say everyday I 'have to'. The mood becomes explosive-testy doesn't begin to cover it. So, I can understand his dilemma.
Are there 'tricks' that one can use to ease the anguish and the temper?
