Yo, keep up the good work. Things will get better. Your memory will improve, mood should improve, and you will become even more social than you already seem to be. I'm on day 7 of abstinence, I'm quitting so that I can get a better paying job. There are definitely times when I doubt whether it's worth it or not.
I smoked everyday for about 3.5 years and I'm very much like you. When I would get low on weed, I'd start freaking out. So, I'd spend lots of time and energy making sure I never ran out. My friends always knew that I'd have weed. But I need to stop completely, at the very least slow down. I'm really anxious right now though, and I've had some flu-like withdrawal symptoms. And I feel really lazy.
Consider yourself lucky, you have a boyfriend and I'm sure he will be there to support you.

> I wish I had a joint right now, trust me. My profession is going to be in the medical field so I find it hard to even think that I will be able to smoke once I start my job. It has been 6 days since I quit. Everyday has been getting easier and that might be because I have been keeping VERY busy! The first couple of nights I was taking vicadin to help me feel better. I then started chugging beers and taking valium when I realized that it was unnecessary. I felt really out of control and it made me think poorly of myself which I don't like. I know 6 days doesn't seem like a lot, but my entire life has changed. I haven't seen any of my friends. My best friend has called me less than my grandma and it hurts. It really hurts to know that my "friends" would rather smoke than chill. Then I realize that if I was in there position and I was still smoking, I would probably do the same. Everything is fine between my boyfriend and I. Both of us quitting has caused some stress but we're doing okay. It seems like there is nothing fun to do when I don't have weed though. Even my normal everyday activities seem pointless. The good side to all of this, my mind is clear and I'm saving money. Both of those I don't really care about, but still. If anyone needs help quitting, I am here and willing to talk. It's tough, but everyday I feel it's getting easier.
