"Hello! Thank you for sharing such a sensitive issue of your life. It is really courageous of you to be aware and accept that you have an addiction which needs to be resolved.
There are multiple factors to keep in mind while trying to recover from addiction. It is advisable to see a therapist who specialises in working with people with addiction. Till then, here are some basic tips to help you:
No addiction stands in itself. There is often a certain situation or feeling that one tries to avoid and instead smoke it away. Try to find the trigger. When do you feel the most urge to smoke? What preceeds the feeling? Once you know your trigger, try to actively and consciously stop it.
Remember everything that you can lose if you relapse into smoking- like your home, career, family, and anything that matters to you
Get professional help. Every situation is unique.
Next Steps
Reflect on your thoughts
Health Tips
If things still feel overwhelming, it would be advisable to talk to a therapist.

Wellness greetings to you
Trying hard to come out of any addiction is definitely appreciable .The path would be little bit challenging but never impossible.
I would suggest you to take some time and spend the time with yourself asking some questions..
1. There should have been a time in your life where you never had introduction with this habit and how did that feel?
2. You could have come to the decision of leaving this once for all and what are the emotions trigger due to take this right decision
3.Not every human being on every occasion would love to smoke this but that must be some triggered emotions behind that's and I want you to find it.
All this could be done by you or if you feel that it is little bit challenging, you can do this with ease, if you can consult or take guidance of a professional.

Hi... For how long you have been consuming cannabis and in what quantity? Treatment involves a more detailed approach. There substances high jack the reward mechanism of our brain, thereby creating dependence on that substance intake and making it difficult to quit.
Next Steps
Seek professional help
