Right my ex-boyfriend wants to give up smoking weed. The main hurdle seems to be that he can't relax and unwind after work without it (so he tells me). We know that he does not have a physical addiction because he goes on 2-3 week business trips where he can't smoke it and he doesn't have any physical withdrawal symptoms. He does have a couple of drinks each night that he's away to compensate though. The reason that he feels the need to relax and unwind on a weekday evening is probably that he takes his job really seriously and has trouble switching off from it.
Does anyone with experience have any advice to help us solve this?
Should we be concentrating on finding him another way to relax and unwind after work that doesn't affect his physical and mental health?
Should we be thinking about getting him counselling to address why he is so uptight and stressed about life (he's had serious anger issues in the past too so I wouldn't be surprised if there was something psychological that needs to be addressed).
Should we be thinking about drugs counselling or seeing a doctor about prescription drugs that can help?
Thanks in advance!
Suggestion:
He could see a Doctor, but if he does not have an addiction he may just have a inferiority complex as well as anger issues. One of the best things he can do is EXERCISE. Weight lifting, cardio etc. Exercise creates Endorphins and endorphins make you happy. You also get in good shape. Make sure he cuts out sugar in any form, sodas, cakes, candies etc,
You are wise to have him as an ex boyfriend.
You do not say how old he is.
He should also think seriously about getting job that he is happy in and capable of coping with.
