I pray you can get through it. Having something to motivate you to WANT to be clean will help. If it were me I would cut ties with any friends that would influence you to use again. Any time you feel the urge to use, think about your family. <br /><br />Lastly I would talk to a therapist and work on finding out what <br />Triggers your need to use.

I know it's not really good to replace one addiction with a new one, but man, alcohol is bad news. In my opinion marijuana has more of a right to be legalized than alcohol, it's worst affect is cancers, just like the cigarettes they sell at 7eleven. <br /><br />Agh, now IM rambling! What I mean to say is I hope you find a way to get clean and stay clean for yourself. Family and friends are important but ultimately YOU have to want to quit.
