Feel Like a Failure When I'm Unable to Quit: Advice Please!
Post Body

I've been trying to quit for about 2 years, and I've never been successful. I'm able to take a few tolerance breaks throughout the year (lasting 10 days or less), but I want to actually QUIT. I try often and I feel like a failure every time I'm unsuccessful.

I have the motivation, drive, and end goals in sight. I think my biggest problem is that I can't get away from it. My roommate smokes constantly, so I'm always smelling it, hearing the bong, and seeing it around the apartment. My neighbor wants to blaze together every few days. My best friend is a mega stoner. My family smokes pot. I'm surrounded by enablers and encouragement to keep smoking. How can I get away from this?

I also struggle with cravings a lot. When I'm busy I don't even think about pot. But when I have a craving or allow myself to get bored, there's no turning away from it. How do I manage these cravings?

TL;DR

How can I set myself up for a more successful path to quitting when I'm surrounded by pot? And how does everyone deal with strong cravings?
