Please read all of this if youre passionate about giving up.
The VERY FIRST THING you need to do is tell yourself RIGHT NOW that youre going to end it RIGHT NOW.
Dont bother with trying to come off of it slowly, or smoking less, or smoking mersh or anything less potent to substitute, because all youre doing is telling yourself that you still need it. That is in no way the right frame of mind to be in. You dont want it. It's not something that you need, it's the thing thats (in your own words) GETTING IN YOUR WAY! **** that ****.
If you want to stop then remember above all things, that all smoking is, is just a HABIT.
When you feel like smoking, its because thats what youre used to doing at that certain time.
When you feel the craving get up and do something that will require your concentration e.g. playing games on the hardest difficulties, learning something, practice your boxing technique etc.
Anything you enjoy doing that includes a lot of thought and will engage your mind could be a short way of saying that i suppose.
-Try to distance yourself as much as you can from things/people that you associate with weed or smoking weed. This is one of, maybe THE most important thing you can do.
If youre around people who smoke it, or are around things that make you want to smoke, it will make it a million times harder. Watching someone do something youre not allowed to do but want to do is never easy.
If your situation is difficult e.g your best friends are into it and you think theyll be pissed at you for not hangin with them as much. Just remember its not about them its about you and what you want. If they were friends they would acknowledge that.
-Think of it as a BIG decision youre making every time the thought of smoking comes into your head. Do you care enough about your boxing/health and being able to improve to your full potential to sacrifice getting lean?
Do you want to fully benefit from the hard training you put in as often as you do, without the thought lingering in your head that theres something holding you back from where you need to be? If so, then you know what you have to do!
-Think about the MONEY MAYNGG THE MONEY!!!! A month of not lightin' it up will save you more than you think (depending on how much and how often you smoke, but hey, money is money).
I dont know what else to say off the top of my head at the moment, but from my experience those are things you can do and think about to get you where you want to be.
Just remember it all starts with you and your mindset. If you start off with a weak mindset that is how you will carry on (Start as you intend to carry on as they say). Use your passion for boxing as a fuel to keep stepping in the right direction and the knowledge of what is keeping you from your full potential to stop you taking a step backwards.
I tried to say everything i know so hopefully at least one of those points will be valid to you even if others arent.
Hope I helped man good luck.
