Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey with Cigarettes, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
@@cortrellhonor8839 dude my life is incredible 1 year post alcohol. I’m shocked. Like no bs. The choices I’ve made for myself after quitting have really lead me somewhere great. I also go to therapy for support too. And AA has a 24 hour free virtual group through zoom and you can stay off camera and anonymous if you’re interested. That helped me my first 3 months but I don’t need it anymore
When we were children we enjoyed life without drugs ,we laughed, we cried we faced life head on. Then as teenagers we hid behind a cloud of weed got drunk to escape reality. Now we are sober we have to learn from where we left of as teenagers again. Justin Porter ex jw ❤️
That's probably because most of us came from a generation of parents who were never really present or there for us growing up, to teach us how to cope with our emotions and our experiences. At least that's why I had so many addictions anyway.
27 yr old. Started smoking at 18 and became chronic at 20. Would smoke day and night. Even between work breaks. Quit 65 days sober, and feel amazing.. the road is rough but when you realize how different it makes you feel, almost a whole different person. Keep pushing kings 🤴 we in it to win it 💪
I too started smoking weed at 18 and became a chronic smoker at 20 then it was day and night all day everyday type of thing and I quit at 23 yrs old I’m now 26 and haven’t touched weed in almost 3 years it is definitely possible I feel better than ever
When I take a break from smoking I feel amazing I want to build an empire but when I smoke I just live normal like anyone but different is I’m just comfortable where I’m at now but when I’m sober I feel like great
I had a small internal funeral for my weed addiction. I remembered the good times, but acknowledged those times are now gone, and it's not fun anymore. I'm 1month sober, and going strong. Videos like this are priceless. Thank you for the inspiration, sir!
"I remembered the good times, but acknowledged those times are now gone, and it's not fun anymore." So much life knowledge in those words, and I've been through it. Quit twice. Both times long ago
Today is my first whole day without weed. I smoked my last joint yesterday Sept. 10,2023. Day one is ok. Day 2, and 3 should be a rollercoaster. After the first week I hear we go back to baseline. I'm so looking forward to feeling like I can handle life without it. I just don't like being addicted. I never thought I could be but the truth is sobering. Pun intended. So you are a month in. I'm only a day in.
Thank you for your comment you give me hope. I just quit 4 days ago after 30 yrs of smoking weed started at 13. The only way I will get through this is knowing there could be something better for me being sober. It’s just really hard to see that right now so I really needed to read your comment.
Keep going I’m 14 days sober today and it’s been really hard but these past couple days im starting to feel my self gett better I pray we can all be sober and in good health I’ll be praying for y’all take care ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is proof that moderation with weed doesn’t work. I tried it myself and failed. I told myself “I’ll smoke once a week, before I knew it I was smoking every single day.
I just told myself i was going to stop smoking and the fact i stumbled upon this video is confirmation of the victory and empowerment that is to come🙌🏽 i usually fast for lent every year but fell short this past year…..GOD BLESS and continue your journey of peace and transparency through sobriety 💯
I smoked everyday for almost 10 years. Had to quit for probation, got a degree and stopped smoking for 7 years. Started smoking again for 5 years again. Now I’ve been sober for almost six months. Never going back.
stay strong, I never smoked weed until 32, got around wrong people to fit in , 50 old .I am mad at myself that I did that to myself, the person that got me into just moved to and so called friend. I am looking forward.
Was smoking 6 blunts a day and quit a few months ago 💪🏽💪🏽. Added up all the containers on my desk and the cost made me sickkk. Car payments. Don’t even get me started on the cost of backwoods added in. I have pretty severe ADHD and didn’t realize how much it was affecting my executive dysfunction until I stopped. It was the cash that got me lol. Now Im having wild dreams again lol I really don’t think I dreamed for like 3 years. Was hard to fall asleep for a few weeks but now I’m good with some kava tea. Quit drinking 2022. I honestly feel a better high after yoga than anything else.
1.5 years sober from heroin, weed, alcohol, cocaine, i did everything and had no choice but to die doing that or get better. Best thing I ever did! quitting anything you are addicted to is hard don't do it alone. Reach out it's important to have a good support system and there's tons of it all around. The best thing I ever heard someone say rehab was you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I barley knew how to function through out my day because drugs were apart of who I was for so long but I realized that it was supposed to feel weird/uncomfortable that just meant i was growing and now i strive for that feeling. Everyday i told my self i'm just going to be sober for today and look now im a year and half in and i'm living a life i never thought I would live again. I had to be high to do anything or have a good time but now i'm experiencing all of life and i don't need anything just like when i was a kid which are some of my best memories. The mind is a very powerful thing you CAN do it.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
2 Months clean off cigs, now Im on the cusp of tackling marijuana. Yesterday I was high and decided today would be my first day without it. Been smoking everyday for the last 10+ years. I'm on a journey of self realization and personal success. Keep inspiring brother
It's so awesome to see other people quitting vices. I quit weed cold turkey 25 days ago and caffeine cold turkey 9 days ago. I fell into a rough depression for a few days after quitting caffeine and doing both at the same time is rough, but totally worth it. Everyday I feel better and better with no intention of going back. I used to be a very disciplined Marine then 5 and a half years ago found out my wife was having an affair which led to our divorce. I used weed to cope and then I realized its been 5 years. I would binge eat junk food when high. My bank account is thanking me and so is my mental and physical health.
Hey bro... I'm sorry. Quitting weed now & going through NASTY withdrawals. 27 years old, and been smoking since I was 16. WE will do it. Sorry about your wife. Fuck her. Gods got you.
Been smoking weed everyday (only bongs because I didn't feel much in joints) for more than 17years, I thought weed made me calm and smarter until I my mental health deteriorated. Thanks for sharing brother, proud of you and anyone who is fighting to leave all of that behind.
Just came across this video and bro, I want to thank you for your message. You're impacting more people than you could imagine! As of today, I've been sober for 1 month and I couldn't feel more proud of myself. Been smoking for 6 years and this is the longest I've stuck with sobriety since before the pandemic!
I’m 32 years old and I’ve been smoking everyday since I was 14. Today is the day this ends and I build a better self. I needed this video thanks so much!!
I’m actually the same age and I have decided today that I need to stop smoking. Been doing it daily for years but I’m out of money and I’m just feeling sick of not being better and living my purpose. I feel I’m wasting my life and this video and comments have been helpful. So my journey begins tomorrow. Day 1. Good luck to all that read this 👍🏻
I've been 126 days off za, best decision of my life in 8 years, i was living in a cloudy mist, trying to avoid my problems, but now im clear headed and know what im doing. Good vid man.
This just made me tear up man, I’m currently going through this as u speak. I want to get sober so bad it’s just hard but I will watch ur video to motivate myself to try! God bless u brother keep going man!!
Much respect ✊🏽. I quit drinking alcohol when i was 28. Im 31 now, going on 32, in i feel great! Just gotta believe in yourself, know how powerful you are! In you can always overcome anything.
What you resist persists so I invite you to pick up new friend groups hobbies and experiences that evolve your character to your higher self For me it was stopping vegan diet, cutting my locs, sparring boxing/muy Thai and strength training 🥊 now I don’t even think about vices 99%of the time cause I’ve got a mission to conquer
Anything wrong with this dudes life seem to be self absorbtion. No shirt tattoos and here talking about weed. Weed never ruined anyones life. And of you gotta quit weed to cope with shit that cool. But trust me if weed is the reason you fail at anything in life then i wpuldnt want to be ypur teammate at anything.
I been sober off of everything for 2 months now and I feel amazing! I’ve gained weight and I’m also working out every other day and eating right! This is the best feeling ever!
I can only describe quitting weed as a fog lifting. I can think clearer, I’m more assertive, I’m more sure of my goals and how to accomplish them, and more confident in myself going forward. I started to smoking weed to help with my anxiety, but over time as my personal and professional life languished under my lack of motivation, it only made it worse. Maybe one day I can learn to have a healthier relationship with my vices, but today it’s time for something new. Thank you for sharing this, it’s encouraging to know that there are others in the same boat.
@@arynrowland862 TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ I’m not tearing you down I’m just saying stop making excuses and take responsibility for your actions or non actions.
@@fixtheapp418 Where did I not take responsibility? You know what I think? I think you’re having a bad day, and sitting here arguing with me isn’t going to make it better. I’m very happy in my life right about now, which is more than I can say for you, judging from the tone of your comments. You seem very angry and ready to pounce. P.S. Liking your own comments is a big sign of weakness.
it's all about discipline. I'm happy to hear that that worked for you, I really am. But Ive been smoking weed for over 20 years and I'm a successful individual. I owe my own properties. Been working in my field for over 20 years, I wake up early every day and exercise, eat good and my health its great. With all of that I still smoke to this day and I love it. So for everyone out there just have the discipline and you can do everything in moderation. Peace
How do you get to that point? I just started back and I’m just smoking a little at a time. Took me 4 days to finish a blunt, but I tried controlling my mind and it work, but if I get too high I can’t control my mind. I mostly smoke at night because I get tired after smoking. I guess when I build my tolerance I’ll be fine
Exactly. I'm the same way. And for the commenter that said most user don't have jobs, that's just the users you are around. I can say 80% of the weed smokers I know have jobs. I know lawyers, business owners,etc that smoke. If you are lazy stop blaming it on weed.
Salute! I’m just passing 90 days sober myself! Was hard in a legal state where sh*ts everywhere, but I now see how much farther ahead in getting with a clear mind and so many peers being held down by getting high on the daily and moving slow with their ambitions.
Weed is different for everyone long story short it didn't work for him but doesn't mean it's a downfall for others everyones Posion is different , glad u were able to find what was bad for you and you were able to shake it off ,drinking was the worst for me
I needed to hear this. I been debating about quitting. Everyday I wake up and say no more and then find an excuse to smoke. I want to quit but I needed to hear other people say what they were feeling too. I been smoking for 20years straight. Today is the last day
My baby girl was born 25 August. I quit weed 2 days prior. I want to give her my all and be present and remember every step of her growth. Weed stopped being fun and more of a copping mechanism. The agitation and anxiety I’d feel not being stoned was affecting my family and wasn’t worth it. 7 days sober now and I haven’t even thought about weed or had withdrawals due to being on cloud 9 coz of baby girls birth. Stay up kings 👑❤
Great job. I can relate with you very much. It’s crazy how fast it goes from 1 time a week to every night and then every morning.. next thing you know, it’s been 10 years and you can’t remember the last time you were 100% sober. That’s where I was. 1 1/2 years completely sober. The journey is worth it. Glad to see you and others jumping on this blessing!
In 2 days I will be 8 months clean I always thought smoking made me more spiritual but in this 8 months I’ve learned the most , made money the most and learned the most spiritual thing which is not damaging the temple by smoking everyday
Thank you brother!! I really needed this... been smoking for 10 years and tried to quit multiple times but always relapsed. I already go to the gym 6 days a week but still til this day feel unsatisfied. I am finishing this 8th of weed and I am done!!
Exactly it made me lazy but didn't change the person that i am. Having more structure is fine if you want things to be your way. Lack of motivation yes weed wins in that case
You need balance, like the guy in the video says he wakes up at an abnormal time, IMMEDIATELY reads then works out? No, balance is important, even an hour of resting in bed to reflect before doing anything else. You’ll burn the FUCK out of yourself so fast if you follow his regime to the letter, cause everyone is different. Good for his approach but it won’t work for everyone else.
Came across your video in search of further inspiration and I'm glad I did. Been sober for 21 days now after smoking 15 years (10 years as a heavy user). DON'T STOP! It truly gets better and the benefits are so so worth it. Keep going!
That's exactly how I have been feeling. I quit cold turkey. I have smoked everyday for 15yrs and I'm done. I love myself too much to not get hard on myself and seek my highest purpose.
@Joelthompsoncoach thank you man much love to you, there is already too many people who have mentally checked out of there lives and this world needs more clear and strong minded people that strive to be better, and weed plant's the seed for complacency, I knew I needed to quit but could mever get myself to do it so thank you for telling me what i needed to hear, even though this is my first day completely sober in years I feel amazing and at peace if that makes sense, thank you again you've made a life long fan
Rooting for you man! This is my 5th month since I stopped smoking. I didn’t even think I was going to make it to day two but I just kept going! You do the same. Keep pushing. Journaling helped me through the tough times.
People definitely use things for different reasons. I'll mess around and have a stroke or a heart attack if I don't smoke, or turn into the Hulk. Mad respect though.
That’s so great I’m 3 months clean. I feel great I thought I couldn’t do it cause I quit twice before. I now focus on my self love and continuing my weight loss journey. Great video❤
This is exactly my life and I'm so ashamed of it I actually decided today that I'm done with it for good, then this evening I see this video I'm taking it as a sign for me to commit to my quitting of smoking weed. Thank u.
I'm on the same journey, never knew that I could do it. I don't really miss it. Good Stuff Bro' keep it going. You get a piece of yourself back when you stop!!!
I've smoked weed on and off for the last 20 there's so many different stereotypes on marijuana but I will definitely agree regardless on how much tolerance you think you have and regardless who You are smokeing weed on the regular definitely limits your capabilities of what you can achieve in life no matter what the scenario is too much of anything is bad 💯
Same here bro, its a trap because i can function with it. But deep down I know i am much better off getting rid of this habit... been smoking weed daily for 13 years now and its hard to quit.
god damn... i must be lucky.. been smoking since i was 10, i own a buisness, have my own home.. got plenty of fiscal revenue that i don't have to worry. i was a ghetto kid, didn't have shit but now i do.. i still steadily smoke cannabis.. just like the majority of humans.. you guys all look to blame your problems and choices on something or in op's situation lack of motivation on anything.. but that's a you issue. you need to have the motivation period.. you can be sober and still lack that shit and never achieve jackshit you want.. i achieved my goals, and cannabis had a big part in it. so you can keep blaming other shit.. or you can say fuck this nobody to blame but myself for not even attempting a better life.
@@BasedStoner You said a lot of truths. This can be a challenge for people who need to quit but really don't know if they can or should. It can be difficult to see what will work in your life when going through the motions. But everything is definitely not for everyone. It's all in your perception of life, what you want to achieve, and what you are willing to do to get your goals accomplished. Peace to all...
The pain and laziness comes when there isn’t any weed. Go to bed early, get up early. Ride the bike 5-10miles a day. Eat well. Sleep better. It helps some and hurts others.
Thank you for this video. I smoked weed almost everyday from the time I was 17 until now. I have been quitting and relapsing for a year now. Your video inspires me to stay strong and keep pushing. God bless you
Straight up! True self love is pushing yourself to see what you can fully be and not giving in, I've seen so many including myself fall for this. I quit everything recently and have never felt better!
Everybody's journey and why is different. Just gotta be consistent. I've been sober since 2013. It all started because I wanted to be healthier. A broken collarbone was the start.
Bro I’m 55 seconds in on the 17th floor of my balcony smoking a blunt right now and I swear 4 yawheh this is by far the realest sh*t I’ve heard! You connected with me in the first 3 seconds! You definitely just sparked that God molecule in me! Appreciate you king. Much love on your journey 🖤
I been having the hardest time quiting, I keep getting the thought and want to but then life hits hard as it always does and I feel the need to smoke and numb everything. I have 6 kids from 16 to 1.5 years old and I feel like I fail non stop and feel like I can't get ahead and feel like I fail my family but I push and try to keep everyone from seeing who hate and that's me. It's a real struggle and very hard but you my friend just gave me a little more hope to be better. I'm gonna give it another try and I hope you know your video is hitting hard in some. Respect bro!
I’ve not smoked any in 13 years. I don’t miss it. It is sort of odd that there’s a part in our brain that justifies doing the things that serve no benefit.- oh and congratulations on your finding clarity. Love your life !
Love the positivity and the message dawg, personally in the same boat as well been smoking weed and vapes for over 2 years on and off. Somehow it feels like somethings missing though as if im becoming to reliant on weed. Smoke no matter the form is not good for the body like they say man treat your body like a temple you become what you put into yourself. Much love bro congrats on quitting🎉
Yeah ganja is not for everyone, I have been sober for 3+ years after basically being high for years all day everyday. Here's the kicker though ; I realized that the plant never gave me problems it was deeper within myself..
Bro I felt the same way and was doing same things , I am at 1 month now . I was smoking for 1500$ per month, for 8 years , I was in crazy shape before and now I’m back in the gym and I feel good not smoking. I just quit cold turkey , my kids motivated me , my partner motivated me. I was high from 6:30 am to until I go to bed , I was sad , depressed, crazy , all this shit . Now I found the courage of killing it and get back shredded and healthy . Feeling like the beast I was before . 💪🏼
Well said. One simply can't quit the addiction of purely hedonic pleasures until one becomes comfortable with the inherent pain of existence. Few understand the connection between pleasure, and pain. When one pursues a pleasure too much it becomes painful in and of itself. In order to quit the addiction the addict MUST be willing to crawl through the pain until balance is once again restored. Only once you reach the end of that tunnel can you truly begin to enjoy life again. You can become happy. Truly content. Contentment is a very different thing than pleasure, and it seems even fewer people understand this as well.
I am truly grateful to attract such thoughtful and intelligent thinkers I appreciate you for adding this insight man it reminds me there are so many people who I can share and learn with! More growth to come🙏🏽
@Joelthompsoncoach You're very welcome! Just a bit of neuroscience I learned recently along with some personal experience. Dealt with my fair share of addiction you might say. Keep growing bud!
Don't know you, but I'm proud of you! The self awareness, the thoughts turned into action, the change into walking in your purpose. It's a blessing and I'm glad you've taken control. You're becoming your best you! Love that for you.
That’s great you quit smoking . When I was 17 on my 17 th birthday about 30 years ago I gave a friend with his hair mid back an ultimatum . On my birthday I was either going to shave his head or quit smoking . He was over a pack a day . Went to his house because he wouldn’t dyop and he sat with his folks watching as I shaved his head . Now he is a trainer , health guru and motivational speaker including doing work with troubled men and teens who are on the verge of going to jail or just out .
I'm so proud of you young man!🙏🏾 Your generation has UA-cam etc and those like you who are using it for good is a huge blessing 😇 Stay on your path of light!🤴🏾 SF, CA🌉
Im not going to lie, weed was personally impeding from reaching my full potential at the moment. With law school coming up its fair to say thc will stay in undergrad. It def messed some things up but not devastatingly but man the first 5 seconds of this video made me respect the hell out of you, you hit everything right on the head.
It’s September 5, 2023 I haven’t smoked weed since July 29, 2023. Not gonna lie I don’t smoke weed anymore , black and milds but I’ll soon stop those. I don’t have cravings for weed anymore.
bro our journeys are so similar, glad i stumbled on this. i'm at about the 30 day mark, after hitting that "all day every day" point realization. never felt better in my life. the bit about what you can do vs can't do hit home. thanks for this one!
the key is learning to value sobriety, I didn't smoke 2 months and I even have dreams where I smoke weed and in that dream I feel so bad that I did that, then when I woke up I am so happy I didn't
Thanks bro I take this as a sign... Started wen I was 14 now 35 and have been trying to quit for 3 years now... This is massive motivation for me. Starting today new and clean let's go fams
I’ve been smoking since I was 14. It helped for a time, but when you get the message it’s time to hang up the phone. Should’ve hung up a long time ago. Thanks for this video man.
You give me hope that there are men out here that honor themselves, and the true purpose that God has given us. I am too going through this healing process as well and it’s beautiful and motivating to hear other peoples story. Stay blessed my beautiful brother of Christ & Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🏽
I quit smoking a couple months back and I’ve never felt better in my life I was a daily smoker it’s possible no matter how impossible u think it may be ❤
Well said bro much respect on your approach. Takes a lot of mental toughness to get through it but it’s worth what’s waiting on the side. 2 years marijuana free after 25 yrs of heavy use. Best of luck to you keep it goin
Thank you sir for your inspiring video. I'm retired and smoking weed as a reward for working my ass off my whole life I was only smoking on the weekend at first, then smoking started to creep into my weeks I've wasted 1000s on dry herb vaporizes, all of which I had thrown away each time after a couple weeks because I knew it didn't benefit me. Thanks again sir. My life is so much better already. It's only been 2 weeks since I smoked, but I know that I'm done forever. My energy is up and most importantly my appreciation for what I have is up. Respectfully.
I’ve been close to 8 months clean from chronic weed use and recreational drug use of all kinds. The first 3 weeks were the hardest, not even any mental struggles just not feeling well physically. Over time it’s become much better overall and I have zero urges to do anything that I used to. I partied way too hard for over 10 years and it was “sustainable” but I want to have a family one day and I had to better myself by kicking all the substances. Had to cut a lot of people out my life too who will just be life long drug users and that’s alright. Overall I’m a much more well rounded individual and present in the moment. The thing I think is funny is that people say stopping thc will ruin your appetite, not me. It’s all mental if you want something bad enough whether it be physical or spiritual you can absolutely do it, you just have to stay busy 24/7 doing things you love and having a strong support circle. I don’t know how far I would’ve made it if I didn’t have such good friends and family. This comes from someone who used to smoke close to an ounce a day and up to 100mg of edibles. I was failing home drug tests even after 90 days.
I quit cigarettes then picked up alcohol and weed. Then I quit alcohol. But I smoked weed every day. I fell asleep at the wheel at a red light driving my car I was stoned. Horns woke me up. I have been weed free for 6 days. I'm going to meetings. The nightmares are terrible, bad headache and body aches. So I started Yoga and I am going to recycle my beautiful bong. I have to quit this habit. I'm 65 years old. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I command all nightmares and headaches to leave. Linda’s body now! Body lineup! Function the way that you were created to function. Anything in her body that does not belong I command it to go! Dissolve, dissipate, and leave with no adverse side effects! As she breathes in she breathes in health, wholeness and healing, when she breathes out, she eliminates negativity pain sadness. Guilt shame! We thank you God for touching her life now!
Bro, Thak You! You just said everything that is on my mind!! Literally I feel stuck in my life watching it pass by... Gotta Quit Anin't no way around this
I was meant to see this video. I started smoking when I was 15. Only at parties. Once I graduated, it turned into every day all day. Until life hit me at 21. I stopped for a year but then picked it back up again, smoking 7 days a week just at night. Even just doing it at night it was limiting everything in my life. After a while I hated how it smelled and made me feel mentally. But I felt like I just couldn't stop. It became sure a daily routine I didn't know any better. Over the past year I told myself that I was going to quit fully. I started out slow. Not smoking for a day then that turned in to 3 4 5. I wouldn't smoke for 2 weeks then smoke for a week. This month I flushed my Stash threw out my bowl and wrapping papers. I'm on week 3 of not smoking I feel amazing. The craving is extremely strong but I'm fighting it!!!!
Videos like these get me more motivated and staying consistent in my battles for that self love, self growth type inspiration. Keep doing what you doing to be a better you and the what’s gonna keep the world spinning.
As a restaurant professional, it is almost impossible to imagine raw-dogging my every-day life of small indignities piling up, but I decided to try it. After a week of being on edge, with no button I could press to feel different, I hit the weed. It made me happy and funny and full of life and energy. But I woke up so bitchy, so drained, feeling so ugly in my brain. I have been patching up my imperfect life and personality with weed since i was 14. Not knowing how to cope is probably how i became a restaurant professional in the first place. Now I am 36. I still cannot see the way forward, but thank you for showing that it is possible. Even desirable.
I relate a lot to your story. 17 years of smoking cigarettes. 2 years of daily weed consumption. It's like losing a part of yourself. I started at 16. All my adult life, I've been a smoker. I don't even know what is normal life like being a non-smoker 😂 at this point. it's almost funny. Gotta stay positive. Keep it up. I'm at day 5. I've smoked less than 15 cigarettes total during that time. Just to not lose it. They don't bring me joy. I used to smoke 25 a DAY!
Heyy.. I have been smoking weed to deal with cigarette withdrawals then relapsing into cigarette addiction for a few years, now. Before COVID, I could not even imagine life without cigarettes. I used to dig up my mom's cigarette butts from under the coffee grounds and trash, at the end of the night. Microwave the damp ones, pull out the filter and smoke 3 of them before bed. That was me at 17. At 33 I finally became tired of feeling like death and looking sick in all my photographs. Particularly, I wanted to attract a mate. I had to change everything about myself. I had to become attractive to myself. And stronger, to swim deeper in the ocean. During pandemic in coastal Southern California, it was easy to fall in love with the sea. And so, after 7 months of wrestling with myself, I finally dislodged a 17 year cigarette habit. I did not smoke cigarettes for almost 3 years, and it was like I could not even remember who I had been since I started smoking cigarettes 17 years before. I was smelling smells I had not smelled since I was 11. My crippling anxiety went away, even if the sadness didn't. I was like, how could I ever go back to that? It's like once you are an addict, you are an addict for life. The right cocktail of bad things in life had me rolling emptied out American Spirits tobacco with my weed, smoking spliffs on top of a half pack or more of cigarettes a day, 3 in a row just to wake up in the morning, real junkie sh*t., spending all my money on it, needing beer and wine to rinse out the bad taste of failing myself like that, throwing away entire packs just to wake up with the jonez and buying another pack, over and over Its been 5 weeks since my last Tobacco but I am still quitting, relearning how to treat myself, how to eat breakfast, how to walk upright, regaining the clarity to Know I need to quit weed, too, even though I just smoked, and my throat is blitzed and my body tingles and I know I love the drug as much as I hate it Good luck on your journey 💞 I had to turn to God to find the strength and mindset, Submit to wisdom I do not possess. I had to go through hell for that 😭 Now I know how easy it is for me to slip right back into the gutter, it is very humbling. How could sobriety be rewarding, if what you are really seeking is your own destruction? I am stoned right now so I can't say I am sober but it feels really really good to say I haven't had cigarette or alcohol or orgasm in over a month, and feels great to say I don't want to go back to wallowing in ritual debasement and dantean Substance Abuse, drinking from the tit of the she-wolf It seems like you want that clarity and that peace that comes with having harmonized with your higher purpose and the satisfaction of your souls greatest urging and mission, or else you wouldn't be here sharing your struggle, and that's how you know you've got it in you. The Spirit wants to see you making moves, to see you soar!!
Call it faith but I quit my vices 9/4/23 and come across this video... keep going and never give, even when you "deserve it" because progress continues, it never stalls or stops. Good luck everyone and get what you truly "Deserve."
Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey with Cigarettes, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Yes Dr.alishrooms
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

That's probably because most of us came from a generation of parents who were never really present or there for us growing up, to teach us how to cope with our emotions and our experiences. At least that's why I had so many addictions anyway.
27 yr old. Started smoking at 18 and became chronic at 20. Would smoke day and night. Even between work breaks. Quit 65 days sober, and feel amazing.. the road is rough but when you realize how different it makes you feel, almost a whole different person. Keep pushing kings 🤴 we in it to win it 💪
😂🤣😂
That's massive transformation keep going
I too started smoking weed at 18 and became a chronic smoker at 20 then it was day and night all day everyday type of thing and I quit at 23 yrs old I’m now 26 and haven’t touched weed in almost 3 years it is definitely possible I feel better than ever
When I take a break from smoking I feel amazing I want to build an empire but when I smoke I just live normal like anyone but different is I’m just comfortable where I’m at now but when I’m sober I feel like great
same shit here, maybe i can stop too
I had a small internal funeral for my weed addiction. I remembered the good times, but acknowledged those times are now gone, and it's not fun anymore. I'm 1month sober, and going strong. Videos like this are priceless. Thank you for the inspiration, sir!
Never never give up this fight to be, and stay sober.
"I remembered the good times, but acknowledged those times are now gone, and it's not fun anymore." So much life knowledge in those words, and I've been through it. Quit twice. Both times long ago
Just out of curiosity how long were you smoking for
Today is my first whole day without weed. I smoked my last joint yesterday Sept. 10,2023. Day one is ok. Day 2, and 3 should be a rollercoaster. After the first week I hear we go back to baseline. I'm so looking forward to feeling like I can handle life without it. I just don't like being addicted. I never thought I could be but the truth is sobering. Pun intended. So you are a month in. I'm only a day in.
@@Josephweinerr I smoked for over 20 years. I'm still going strong since my initial message. I gave up my medical marijuana card today.
365 days without weed ,I never knew sober could be so magical. I started smoking weed in 1978 aged 17 ,I,m now 62 and weed free
Thank you for your comment you give me hope. I just quit 4 days ago after 30 yrs of smoking weed started at 13. The only way I will get through this is knowing there could be something better for me being sober. It’s just really hard to see that right now so I really needed to read your comment.

This is proof that moderation with weed doesn’t work. I tried it myself and failed. I told myself “I’ll smoke once a week, before I knew it I was smoking every single day.
Agreed impulse control and moderation don’t mix well
It proof nothing? It proves that you! Can't control yourself
That’s called lack of discipline

How's it going so far brodie
I smoked everyday for almost 10 years. Had to quit for probation, got a degree and stopped smoking for 7 years. Started smoking again for 5 years again. Now I’ve been sober for almost six months. Never going back.
stay strong, I never smoked weed until 32, got around wrong people to fit in , 50 old .I am mad at myself that I did that to myself, the person that got me into just moved to and so called friend. I am looking forward.
Was smoking 6 blunts a day and quit a few months ago 💪🏽💪🏽. Added up all the containers on my desk and the cost made me sickkk. Car payments. Don’t even get me started on the cost of backwoods added in. I have pretty severe ADHD and didn’t realize how much it was affecting my executive dysfunction until I stopped. It was the cash that got me lol. Now Im having wild dreams again lol I really don’t think I dreamed for like 3 years. Was hard to fall asleep for a few weeks but now I’m good with some kava tea. Quit drinking 2022. I honestly feel a better high after yoga than anything else.
Proud of u
I noticed that I rarely ever dream when I smoke weed but when I stop smoking in an attempt to quit, I dream a helluva lot more...
It blocks ur third eye when I smoke I feel foggy in the front of my forehead
get that shit, i feel you. im tryna stop smoking blunts as we speak
1.5 years sober from heroin, weed, alcohol, cocaine, i did everything and had no choice but to die doing that or get better. Best thing I ever did! quitting anything you are addicted to is hard don't do it alone. Reach out it's important to have a good support system and there's tons of it all around. The best thing I ever heard someone say rehab was you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I barley knew how to function through out my day because drugs were apart of who I was for so long but I realized that it was supposed to feel weird/uncomfortable that just meant i was growing and now i strive for that feeling. Everyday i told my self i'm just going to be sober for today and look now im a year and half in and i'm living a life i never thought I would live again. I had to be high to do anything or have a good time but now i'm experiencing all of life and i don't need anything just like when i was a kid which are some of my best memories. The mind is a very powerful thing you CAN do it.
"Deserving more comfort is never the way to your purpose." Powerful words brother. Lets go 🏆🚞💨
Since legalization weve really discovered the negative effects of THC. Im glad so many people are tossing it aside. Sober life is the best life.
It's not even legal where I live. Risking my life going to run down ghettos filled with felons to get it wasn't worth it anymore.
Moderation and discipline is the key.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

2 Months clean off cigs, now Im on the cusp of tackling marijuana. Yesterday I was high and decided today would be my first day without it. Been smoking everyday for the last 10+ years. I'm on a journey of self realization and personal success. Keep inspiring brother
Good job. This is inspiring me to do the same
It's so awesome to see other people quitting vices. I quit weed cold turkey 25 days ago and caffeine cold turkey 9 days ago. I fell into a rough depression for a few days after quitting caffeine and doing both at the same time is rough, but totally worth it. Everyday I feel better and better with no intention of going back. I used to be a very disciplined Marine then 5 and a half years ago found out my wife was having an affair which led to our divorce. I used weed to cope and then I realized its been 5 years. I would binge eat junk food when high. My bank account is thanking me and so is my mental and physical health.
Sorry to hear about the cheating. Fcken women

I can only describe quitting weed as a fog lifting. I can think clearer, I’m more assertive, I’m more sure of my goals and how to accomplish them, and more confident in myself going forward. I started to smoking weed to help with my anxiety, but over time as my personal and professional life languished under my lack of motivation, it only made it worse. Maybe one day I can learn to have a healthier relationship with my vices, but today it’s time for something new.

Most users don’t even have a job … they are adolescent smokers. If not adolescents they are young adults looking for a career path .
How do you get to that point? I just started back and I’m just smoking a little at a time.

I guess when I build my tolerance I’ll be fine
@@Neesha242I wish there was a different answer than just sheer will and discipline but that's the only actual option.

In 2 days I will be 8 months clean I always thought smoking made me more spiritual but in this 8 months I’ve learned the most , made money the most and learned the most spiritual thing which is not damaging the temple by smoking everyday
Thank you brother!! I really needed this... been smoking for 10 years and tried to quit multiple times but always relapsed. I already go to the gym 6 days a week but still til this day feel unsatisfied. I am finishing this 8th of weed and I am done!!
Exactly it made me lazy but didn't change the person that i am. Having more structure is fine if you want things to be your way. Lack of motivation yes weed wins in that case

I've smoked weed on and off for the last 20 there's so many different stereotypes on marijuana but I will definitely agree regardless on how much tolerance you think you have and regardless who You are smokeing weed on the regular definitely limits your capabilities of what you can achieve in life no matter what the scenario is too much of anything is bad 💯
Same here bro, its a trap because i can function with it. But deep down I know i am much better off getting rid of this habit... been smoking weed daily for 13 years now and its hard to quit.
god damn... i must be lucky.. been smoking since i was 10, i own a buisness, have my own home.. got plenty of fiscal revenue that i don't have to worry. i was a ghetto kid, didn't have shit but now i do.. i still steadily smoke cannabis.. just like the majority of humans.. you guys all look to blame your problems and choices on something or in op's situation lack of motivation on anything.. but that's a you issue. you need to have the motivation period.. you can be sober and still lack that shit and never achieve jackshit you want.. i achieved my goals, and cannabis had a big part in it. so you can keep blaming other shit.. or you can say fuck this nobody to blame but myself for not even attempting a better life.

What a brilliant young man. My story is similar and listening to him motivates me to share my story. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Transcendence 🌟
Yeah definitely im leaving that life behind me now on to better things. 🙏🏾
Love the positivity and the message dawg, personally in the same boat as well been smoking weed and vapes for over 2 years on and off. Somehow it feels like somethings missing though as if im becoming to reliant on weed. Smoke no matter the form is not good for the body like they say man treat your body like a temple you become what you put into yourself. Much love bro congrats on quitting🎉
Yeah ganja is not for everyone, I have been sober for 3+ years after basically being high for years all day everyday. Here's the kicker though ; I realized that the plant never gave me problems it was deeper within myself..
This sounds extremely accurate. It’s not about the vice it’s about why do I need a vice.
I’m 23 rn about to turn 24 Oct I been smoking since I was 14-15 and I’m ready for the change !
Bro I felt the same way and was doing same things , I am at 1 month now . I was smoking for 1500$ per month, for 8 years , I was in crazy shape before and now I’m back in the gym and I feel good not smoking. I just quit cold turkey , my kids motivated me , my partner motivated me. I was high from 6:30 am to until I go to bed , I was sad , depressed, crazy , all this shit . Now I found the courage of killing it and get back shredded and healthy . Feeling like the beast I was before . 💪🏼
Becoming the men that we admire 🤜🏽🤛🏽 massive growth
Well said. One simply can't quit the addiction of purely hedonic pleasures until one becomes comfortable with the inherent pain of existence. Few understand the connection between pleasure, and pain. When one pursues a pleasure too much it becomes painful in and of itself. In order to quit the addiction the addict MUST be willing to crawl through the pain until balance is once again restored. Only once you reach the end of that tunnel can you truly begin to enjoy life again. You can become happy. Truly content. Contentment is a very different thing than pleasure, and it seems even fewer people understand this as well.
I am truly grateful to attract such thoughtful and intelligent thinkers I appreciate you for adding this insight man it reminds me there are so many people who I can share and learn with! More growth to come🙏🏽
@Joelthompsoncoach You're very welcome! Just a bit of neuroscience I learned recently along with some personal experience. Dealt with my fair share of addiction you might say. Keep growing bud!
Stop 🤣 it’s just pot
I’ve been feeling like this for a while, this video hit home for me. Thanks Joel, and you’ve earned my sub 👍🏾♥️
Armani thanks and let’s keep pushing together
Hope u been keeping it up. I started today and I need to for my own good. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. I’m listening to this every morning until I reprogram my mind.
Proud of you bro🙏🏽
Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🏁🏁🏁
Don't know you, but I'm proud of you! The self awareness, the thoughts turned into action, the change into walking in your purpose. It's a blessing and I'm glad you've taken control. You're becoming your best you! Love that for you.
JUST RAN ACROSS THIS AS IM ON MY JOURNEY TO A BETTER ME. 2 MONTHS IN AND FEELING BETTER EVERYDAY
It's crazy how much this resonates right now! Lessons learnt!
That’s great you quit smoking . When I was 17 on my 17 th birthday about 30 years ago I gave a friend with his hair mid back an ultimatum . On my birthday I was either going to shave his head or quit smoking . He was over a pack a day . Went to his house because he wouldn’t dyop and he sat with his folks watching as I shaved his head . Now he is a trainer , health guru and motivational speaker including doing work with troubled men and teens who are on the verge of going to jail or just out .
Massive elevation after dropping the vices💪🏽💪🏽‼️
@@Joelthompsoncoach he could have avoided the haircut as he was stronger than me but was a good sport but upset lol
Great video 💯. Needed to hear this to keep going
I'm so proud of you young man!🙏🏾
Your generation has UA-cam etc and those like you who are using it for good is a huge blessing 😇
Stay on your path of light!🤴🏾

Im not going to lie, weed was personally impeding from reaching my full potential at the moment. With law school coming up its fair to say thc will stay in undergrad. It def messed some things up but not devastatingly but man the first 5 seconds of this video made me respect the hell out of you, you hit everything right on the head.
😂🤣😂
It’s September 5, 2023 I haven’t smoked weed since July 29, 2023. Not gonna lie I don’t smoke weed anymore , black and milds but I’ll soon stop those. I don’t have cravings for weed anymore.
Black and molds 😂😂😂that’s what you should’ve stopped first
Great massage. Positive, powerful and much needed. Clean your body and get in touch with your inner spirit. Beautiful 🌸
Love this type of motivation. So many smokers don’t see anything wrong with it at all.
bro our journeys are so similar, glad i stumbled on this. i'm at about the 30 day mark, after hitting that "all day every day" point realization. never felt better in my life. the bit about what you can do vs can't do hit home. thanks for this one!
You got this dig deep and find that reason why everyday reminder 🙏🏽
🙌 thank you!! still going strong and loving life again
I haven’t smoked in 7 years . Amen
Wow, Praise Yah thank you for your testimony, i started today, and you popped up, like you been watching my life! Thats right on time 🙌
the key is learning to value sobriety, I didn't smoke 2 months and I even have dreams where I smoke weed and in that dream I feel so bad that I did that, then when I woke up I am so happy I didn't
Keep up the GREAT work! 💯
Thank you! Will do!🏆👊🏽
Thanks bro I take this as a sign... Started wen I was 14 now 35 and have been trying to quit for 3 years now... This is massive motivation for me. Starting today new and clean let's go fams
I’ve been smoking since I was 14. It helped for a time, but when you get the message it’s time to hang up the phone. Should’ve hung up a long time ago. Thanks for this video man.
You give me hope that there are men out here that honor themselves, and the true purpose that God has given us. I am too going through this healing process as well and it’s beautiful and motivating to hear other peoples story.
Stay blessed my beautiful brother of Christ & Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🏽
God bless you sis thanks for being here 🤍
I quit smoking a couple months back and I’ve never felt better in my life I was a daily smoker it’s possible no matter how impossible u think it may be ❤
Well said bro much respect on your approach. Takes a lot of mental toughness to get through it but it’s worth what’s waiting on the side. 2 years marijuana free after 25 yrs of heavy use. Best of luck to you keep it goin
Thank you sir for your inspiring video. I'm retired and smoking weed as a reward for working my ass off my whole life I was only smoking on the weekend at first, then smoking started to creep into my weeks I've wasted 1000s on dry herb vaporizes, all of which I had thrown away each time after a couple weeks because I knew it didn't benefit me. Thanks again sir. My life is so much better already. It's only been 2 weeks since I smoked, but I know that I'm done forever. My energy is up and most importantly my appreciation for what I have is up. Respectfully.
Hell yeah bro I’m on the same journey. You inspired me today 🙏🏻
I’ve been close to 8 months clean from chronic weed use and recreational drug use of all kinds. The first 3 weeks were the hardest, not even any mental struggles just not feeling well physically. Over time it’s become much better overall and I have zero urges to do anything that I used to. I partied way too hard for over 10 years and it was “sustainable” but I want to have a family one day and I had to better myself by kicking all the substances. Had to cut a lot of people out my life too who will just be life long drug users and that’s alright. Overall I’m a much more well rounded individual and present in the moment. The thing I think is funny is that people say stopping thc will ruin your appetite, not me. It’s all mental if you want something bad enough whether it be physical or spiritual you can absolutely do it, you just have to stay busy 24/7 doing things you love and having a strong support circle. I don’t know how far I would’ve made it if I didn’t have such good friends and family. This comes from someone who used to smoke close to an ounce a day and up to 100mg of edibles. I was failing home drug tests even after 90 days.
How do you honestly smoke an oz? I have a desktop vape and like I can be high all day on less than a gram. More like a 0.4.
An ounce a day???😮
you just keep loading and lighting. It's not crazy to me, although past an 8th my throat generally hurt too much.
I quit cigarettes then picked up alcohol and weed. Then I quit alcohol. But I smoked weed every day. I fell asleep at the wheel at a red light driving my car I was stoned. Horns woke me up. I have been weed free for 6 days. I'm going to meetings. The nightmares are terrible, bad headache and body aches. So I started Yoga and I am going to recycle my beautiful bong. I have to quit this habit. I'm 65 years old. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I quit weed and picked up cigs and beer weed makes you unhappy when your older
@@jplandscaping5069lol terrible choice
I command all nightmares and headaches to leave. Linda’s body now! Body lineup! Function the way that you were created to function. Anything in her body that does not belong I command it to go! Dissolve, dissipate, and leave with no adverse side effects! As she breathes in she breathes in health, wholeness and healing, when she breathes out, she eliminates negativity pain sadness. Guilt shame! We thank you God for touching her life now!
Oh yes when the dreams return ❤ you are now sober my friend
I’m smoking watching this honestly is touching me right now, I smoke a lot this might be the message for me
You got this my man hope the video was valuable
There needs to be more people like yourself getting clout on social media , great example of Truth
Bro, Thak You! You just said everything that is on my mind!! Literally I feel stuck in my life watching it pass by... Gotta Quit Anin't no way around this
You got this!
I was meant to see this video. I started smoking when I was 15. Only at parties. Once I graduated, it turned into every day all day. Until life hit me at 21. I stopped for a year but then picked it back up again, smoking 7 days a week just at night. Even just doing it at night it was limiting everything in my life. After a while I hated how it smelled and made me feel mentally. But I felt like I just couldn't stop. It became sure a daily routine I didn't know any better. Over the past year I told myself that I was going to quit fully. I started out slow. Not smoking for a day then that turned in to 3 4 5. I wouldn't smoke for 2 weeks then smoke for a week. This month I flushed my Stash threw out my bowl and wrapping papers. I'm on week 3 of not smoking I feel amazing. The craving is extremely strong but I'm fighting it!!!!
Hopefully that process at the end of the video is helpful !
Videos like these get me more motivated and staying consistent in my battles for that self love, self growth type inspiration. Keep doing what you doing to be a better you and the what’s gonna keep the world spinning.
As a restaurant professional, it is almost impossible to imagine raw-dogging my every-day life of small indignities piling up, but I decided to try it. After a week of being on edge, with no button I could press to feel different, I hit the weed. It made me happy and funny and full of life and energy. But I woke up so bitchy, so drained, feeling so ugly in my brain.
I have been patching up my imperfect life and personality with weed since i was 14. Not knowing how to cope is probably how i became a restaurant professional in the first place. Now I am 36. I still cannot see the way forward, but thank you for showing that it is possible. Even desirable.
I relate a lot to your story. 17 years of smoking cigarettes. 2 years of daily weed consumption. It's like losing a part of yourself. I started at 16. All my adult life, I've been a smoker. I don't even know what is normal life like being a non-smoker 😂 at this point. it's almost funny. Gotta stay positive. Keep it up. I'm at day 5. I've smoked less than 15 cigarettes total during that time. Just to not lose it. They don't bring me joy. I used to smoke 25 a DAY!
Heyy..
I have been smoking weed to deal with cigarette withdrawals then relapsing into cigarette addiction for a few years, now.
Before COVID, I could not even imagine life without cigarettes. I used to dig up my mom's cigarette butts from under the coffee grounds and trash, at the end of the night. Microwave the damp ones, pull out the filter and smoke 3 of them before bed. That was me at 17.
At 33 I finally became tired of feeling like death and looking sick in all my photographs. Particularly, I wanted to attract a mate. I had to change everything about myself. I had to become attractive to myself. And stronger, to swim deeper in the ocean. During pandemic in coastal Southern California, it was easy to fall in love with the sea. And so, after 7 months of wrestling with myself, I finally dislodged a 17 year cigarette habit.
I did not smoke cigarettes for almost 3 years, and it was like I could not even remember who I had been since I started smoking cigarettes 17 years before. I was smelling smells I had not smelled since I was 11. My crippling anxiety went away, even if the sadness didn't. I was like, how could I ever go back to that?
It's like once you are an addict, you are an addict for life. The right cocktail of bad things in life had me rolling emptied out American Spirits tobacco with my weed, smoking spliffs on top of a half pack or more of cigarettes a day, 3 in a row just to wake up in the morning, real junkie sh*t., spending all my money on it, needing beer and wine to rinse out the bad taste of failing myself like that, throwing away entire packs just to wake up with the jonez and buying another pack, over and over
Its been 5 weeks since my last Tobacco but I am still quitting, relearning how to treat myself, how to eat breakfast, how to walk upright, regaining the clarity to Know I need to quit weed, too, even though I just smoked, and my throat is blitzed and my body tingles and I know I love the drug as much as I hate it
Good luck on your journey 💞 I had to turn to God to find the strength and mindset, Submit to wisdom I do not possess. I had to go through hell for that 😭
Now I know how easy it is for me to slip right back into the gutter, it is very humbling. How could sobriety be rewarding, if what you are really seeking is your own destruction?
I am stoned right now so I can't say I am sober but it feels really really good to say I haven't had cigarette or alcohol or orgasm in over a month, and feels great to say I don't want to go back to wallowing in ritual debasement and dantean Substance Abuse, drinking from the tit of the she-wolf
It seems like you want that clarity and that peace that comes with having harmonized with your higher purpose and the satisfaction of your souls greatest urging and mission, or else you wouldn't be here sharing your struggle, and that's how you know you've got it in you. The Spirit wants to see you making moves, to see you soar!!
Call it faith but I quit my vices 9/4/23 and come across this video... keep going and never give, even when you "deserve it" because progress continues, it never stalls or stops. Good luck everyone and get what you truly "Deserve."
🙏🏽that’s an honor to be on the journey with you
You be smoking and drinking this weekend lol
@@honorableadrian1818 wanted to but nah we are still on the straight and narrow 💪🏼
Let’s go🏆
