ABSTRACT

Jeannie stopped smoking pot for the past three weeks as part of the goals she set for herself in therapy. She is pleased to find she coughs less often and seems to concentrate better, but she frequently misses getting high. She tells her therapist the temptation to smoke has been especially strong in the past few days since her best friend returned from a vacation and has been inviting Jeannie to come over and get stoned like they used to do. Jeannie is still unconvinced that her decision to refrain from marijuana use is a permanent one.
