10 Situations/Mindsets That Lead to RelapseIt’s best to know what you’re up against. Here’s a list of 10 mindsets/situations that are very commonly associated with relapse. Read the list and:
1. Daydreams about the Good TimesYou probably had a lot of fun while high on marijuana. After you quit you might feel a sense of loss or grief about the future ‘fun’ that you’ll miss…and never again can feel like a very long time! When you catch yourself fantasizing about the good times, remember to balance the equation with thoughts of your reasons for quitting. 2. Wanting to RelaxYou can learn to relax without taking drugs – but there’s no denying that drugs offer an easier path to instant relaxation. So how will you take the edge off when you can’t turn to marijuana for relaxation?

Screw It!When you reach the end of your rope and you’re frazzled and tired and nothing’s going right…it’s so easy to slip into a moment of weakness, think screw it, and accept that joint that’s going around. (Read the strategies below for tips on how to fight this impulse to give-up.) 10.

Hi all,
Just an update, but its almost one year now. Since I started using the quit weed guide and other resources I've found. I've not even thought about weed, since the new year began.
