I got together with this girl about 5 months ago. Just as a little background info, she is really strait edge, wont do ANYTHING bad. She knows that i used to have a problem with smoking pot, but didnt think i did it anymore. I have a huge addiction problem in my family, and have been through therapy to help me

The truth is, i have only smoked once since we got together, and 2 nights ago, she asked me if i had been smoking pot lately. I lied to her, and told her no, but last night, i came back and told her the truth. She is really upset, been crying alot, and i feel like a total fuck up. I really do love her, and want to fix things, but i guess to be honest everyone, pot does have some degree of control over me still.

Why should her beliefs on the matter stop you from doing it? It's not like you are making her do it. I don't understand people.

I know, but the point is, she is right. It is fucking my life up. My parents don't trust me, so i cant drive or anything. My grades suck too, and i need to go to college. And now, i lost my girlfriend. I think that is reason enough to quit, but for some reason its hard for me

Well it sounds like you have more of a drug problem than a girl problem. Except that she dumped you. So I guess you have problems in both areas. You need to do something about that.

Ok, first, stop smoking weed if it's having such an adverse overall effect on your life. It's not like you're doing it all the time, so it shouldn't be that hard.

And in the meantime, just lie to your girlfriend. Seriously. Tell her you're done with it. If you have any will power, then it isn't lying. But even if you end up toking sometime in the next month or so, it's not a big deal. You just fell off the wagon once. Just don't let anybody know.

I mean, fuck, it's weed. Try having to deal with a crack or heroin addiction and a straight edge girlfriend. Now that's some difficult shit (I'd assume).

I mean, fuck, it's weed.

Yeah.

If you have a problem with weed, there are probably a lot of other really serious problems you should deal with as well.

Don't get me wrong, I really disagree with drugs.

However, if I got with a girl and I knew she smoked it, I'd disagree with it but Jesus, it's her body, she does what she wants with it. As long as what she's doing doesn't affect the relationship or her health isn't dropping rapidly, go for it. Just not around me.
