i can honestly say that the only reason i smoked weed was because i felt that it helped me overcome my shyness.
i felt that i could face up to life more when i was high and also it seemed to calm my nerves.
i still remember the day i first tried it and its like my nerves just stopped and from that evening i was hooked and gradually started smoking everyday.
my dad used to bun weed too but he didn't like me doing it nor did my mum.
i must have spent a fortune during the years i was using weed.
but in the early 90's i decided to stop and i quit smoking cigarettes too.
my nerves are still bad and i'm still shy( i knew that bunning weed would never take away my shyness)
anyway if you still smoke, apart from wanting to change the way you feel, why do you do it?
i don't think my dad was shy or suffered from social anxiety
so perhaps his reason for doing it was maybe to help him relax?
anyway please share your thoughts and experiences.
ps ive been weed and cigarette free for years now and although i'm still shy and had bad nerves, i feel glad that i gave them up.
if anything i have more money now which used to go into the bank accounts of the dealers Sad
now that money stays in mine instead Wink
i figure that if i was born to be a slave i would have been born in chains.
is how i and i see tings now yu see me?

Firstly I would like to congratulate you, quitting weed AND cigarettes, I would love to do the same... I find it helps me wind down in the evening,  or particular times of stress where the feeling doesn't pass..I have been sober over 5 weeks,  and need to be careful I'm not swapping weed for alcohol... .Quote from Sol Strole on 01/28/11 at 09:40:00:
