You atleast have a goal.. i enjoy your motivation its what many of us need...i wonder if one day i will look back and say yes this was a good choice....even if it is i still have no future im fucked but i will be clean angry and fucked😂
Wow I’m a senior 68 I just smoke all day I’m really lonely on the live all day addicted to weed and my phone ugh got two books to release business ideas etc ugh
I take breaks from cannabis sometimes because my tolerance raises. But from my experience I prefer to be alone. For some reason I get angry the first week and someone can say something wrong (even silly things) and I would just snap... Everybodys different I guess
you're anything but alone Darik, I heard in a jordan peterson video (with Dr John Delony) that you start small to make new friends/ find a community. you can start with the lost art of a handshake, and eye contact when greeting someone new. that makes a good impression. find a place like a coffee shop you like, or even a restaurant and meet the register worker, introduce yourself as someone who will be a regular there. something I need to teach myself too: People won't bite you. remember that, people yearn for attention/someone to call them by their name with a smile on a regular basis. That's what a friend is!
Ahhhh the hardest part is o don't supply myself I cam even roll I just get it whenever I want and it's terrible because I keep breaking akd having to start over again it's so hard on me 😢 I never knew I could be this addicted at only 23....thank God I've never used anything but weed or I be having big problems right now
It's so cool to see homies in the comments supporting each other in quitting. Any time I've mentioned quitting to the people around me, they've tried to make me feel dumb for it, and like weed is a miracle drug. We can all do it, here's to self-improvement.
I hate that ! I’ve been speaking about my desire to quit and being stressed about the withdrawal, and some smokers always answer with « weed is not addictive/i can quit whenever I want/weed is good and has no side effects on anyone » like they’re completely ignoring the 10% we make of marijuana users, the 10% that actually have problematic use. Reading comments here and watching these videos is somehow reassuring.
@@ast.iko94370bro this guys are addicted, don’t listen to people who say you should dip your friends because they “don’t support” you quitting. Most of the time they just afraid you not gonna hang with them again if you stop, that’s normal weed smoker thinking 😂😂
@@AintItGreat if they are not in your situation, they will never get it. Just quit, and show them life can be better than just smoking. But don’t become that “anti weed” guy. Let people smoke or quit in their own time
57 years old smoked tobacco since my teens, weed for 23 years daily, a week in no tobacco, no weed, very little sleep real bad dreams and my bedding is soaking in the mornings, I don’t have money for weed at the moment, I declined FREE WEED yesterday, I got this 2024 things gonna change for the better for me.
Weed was my best friend ..and then it stabbed me in the back slowly, silently, progressively. Before i knew it, i was smoking two joints before i would smoke two joints...then I'd smoke two more.
@OneNationUnderGodOnly2Genders That's exactly how I feel about it. It's like my friend too and most times I'd rather hangout with my weed than people. I'm scared to give it up because I think I'm going to miss it and at the same time I hate it because I'm sick of it and myself being on it all the time 😞 Thinking of trying cbd oil to wean myself off and eventually stop that too. Oh and the stupid tobacco too.
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about how mushrooms and psychedelics treats anxiety, but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, doctor Greg mushroom I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
A huge one for me, is that with drug and alcohol addiction, my relapses were almost never during bad moments. They would happen during “good” moments, where I felt too secure that I was improving my life, and so a couple drinks/joints/whatever wouldnt hurt. Then find myself back at square one within a short period of time
Damn that’s the scariest. I’ll start over committing and be super healthy, exercise and take all the supplements under the sun. Then my addicted brain thinks I’ll get mega high
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

I smoked weed and tobacco just about every day for 30 yr then one day 3 yr ago I started getting a real bad pain in my back around the lung area so I quit smoking around a month later I realised the pain in my back was from my posture and the way I was sitting so I changed that and the pain disappeared. So I quit smoking for the wrong reason lol but I’ve never looked back and wish I’d stopped sooner. Never thought I’d quit but If I can quit so can you. Stay strong 💪
I know people who won’t stop and they know it’s directly affecting their health you quit as soon as you thought it was a problem I’d say You quit for the right reason and I’m very happy for u
Ive been to rehab and the main message they gave me as i left was " the worst thing you can do now is sit at home bored & lonely ". I believe thats a message everyone should get and for free so i share this knowledge from an expensive rehab here for free.
All of these are such great points! Started smoking at 19. Im 29 now. I have relapsed so much. But no more excuses! I’m so sick of the groggy lazy feeling I have inside! It’s gross!
You are telling part of my story. I am also 69 and have been smoking weed since 1967 . I did quit for a year one time and felt better but slid back to daily smoking. Good luck to you.
Smoked weed almost everyday since 16, stopped for 2 months at 18, but started smoking again. I'm 21 rn, and I haven't smoked for 4 months. I quit cold turkey when I had reached my peak. My problem is when I start smoking I can't stop myself from smoking more everyday. I thought about smoking today, but it's been so long since I had spent so much time without smoking. I'm proud of myself, but I don't know why I'm such an addict in general. I have this constant tendency of wanting to drown myself in something, why can't I just be happy without getting that release? I probably put too much pressure on myself. I just want to be at peace. I can't let myself be.
Robert, started when I was 14, I'm now 64! I've quit several times in my life. Try exercising, eat good, surround yourself with only quality people, don't give up. Drink water. Take yourself out of yourself. When you finally realize you are the source of your own pain, you will quit. Get help. Don't isolate. Life is short & time is precious... Good 🤞
Such a relatable comment. Everything you said really described perfectly how I feel about myself too. I’m yet to uncover why I need a crutch so doing the mental health work now. Sending good vibes to you. You’re not alone 💪🏽
There are other things in your life that you need to iron out. There will never be “peace” in life because it’s not meant to be a one sided joyride of happiness. Once you become comfortable with being uncomfortable that’s when your predicament becomes your solitude. Every living thing on this planet has some sort of purpose. You weren’t put on this earth just to feel happy. Don’t live for happiness or peace, live for a purpose.
Psilocybin being illegal is a crime against humanity! Psilocybin containing mushroom saved me from my life long addiction to weed smoking. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I really love how you acknowledge that there are valid reasons to smoke cannabis, or consume cannabis, but those valid reasons can’t come before getting sober in addiction. I have an addictive brain, I’ve given up all other drugs, but haven’t been able to give up cannabis, and though I’m not “ready“, if I don’t begin at some point, I’m never going to be ready. Great video!
Cannabis isn't addictive. It has over 400 properties and not a single one is addictive. I'm about to be 45, been smoking since I was 16, stopped during both my pregnancies, started back up and then it became legal in 2016. I've been a medical card holder for 3 years now. Cannabis is my medicine. Getting stoned is a perk! When you have chronic pain and can't take nor want to take pills, weed is the best alternative.
@@420saralouThat’s great that it works for you! But your experience doesn’t speak for everyone else, I believe the addiction aspect is dependent on the person, while I love smoking weed, I was very much addicted to it, I would smoke all day and just ignore my priorities cause I valued getting baked over actually being functional and getting my life together so at that point I really had no choice but to stop, currently on day 9 of no weed, it really was the big obstacle that I had to accept in order to be able to accomplish what I want in life, like I said before if it works, that’s great and more power to you but just because there is no addictive properties in it doesn’t mean that it’s not addictive
I started smoking weed since my teenage. Got addicted to crack for over 23 years. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder, not until my Mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Amen God bless people, save your mind save your health life is better without heroin, crack, alcohol and cigarettes and you will have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes which can be cause so much damage to health
I have heard a lot of good about mushrooms and psychedelics. Really want to try them for anxiety. Just very hard to get a reliable source here in UK, really need it.
I was in 10th grade when I decided I wanted to turn to weed. 6 years later and I’m still living with my parent downing endless amounts of weed and vapes. I had a football scholarship I had a girlfriend I had good men around me. The weed and vapes changed me by the time I hit 12th I lost all my friends. I lost my heathy muscles and tan skin. I lost the ability to play football and I lost the focus I had built from pre k till 11th which caused me to drop out. 18 years old now I’m 23 and I haven’t did anything but work and supply my habbits. I was this close to making it out of a hard life I grew up in. Now I’m watching my once called friends Get married move into houses having baby’s and actually look there age. While I’m over here tying to get myself out of a addiction hole that I digged way to deep for myself.
We can always revert to comparison. The next guy is better than the next guy, who’s trying to become the next guy. What you did and what has happened doesn’t have to define what you do going forward. Hit the turf again: run some drills and routes. Work until you’re exhausted. Learn something new: a trades skill, new hobby, or make a spiritual epiphany. Get involved and meet people! This might be hard, so try to volunteer or get involved in your local community center. There’s still time. I hope everything goes well for you my brother. I don’t know who you are, but I will keep you in my prayers.
Dude you have no idea how much your videos are helping. I've watched a bunch the past few days, but I wanted to leave a comment on at least one of them. I can't thank you enough. Your videos are like having on-demand support. Please keep up the excellent work.
I’ve been smoking since 18.(I’m 30 now)2 days sober for me!🙏🏾 I feel pretty good, I do have some urges to smoke but I just go to the gym and/or find something else to keep me busy. Main reason I stopped is because I have a son who will be here in a few months. With this being my first my child I want to make sure I’m the best version of myself raising and teaching him.
@@philos33 I’m doing much better, thank you for asking. I was on a solid streak, powering through four months of progress, when life unexpectedly blindsided me with a tackle that knocked me off my feet. I won’t pretend to be proud of the relapse, but I did realize just how low my tolerance has become compared to how I used to be. It’s a tough moment, but I’m determined to pick myself back up! Almost 2 months sober.
@@KrisGraham I faced a setback recently due to some life challenges, which led to a relapse. It's not a moment I’m particularly proud of, but I’m nearly two months clean now and have learned a lot from the experience.
its been a month weed free for the first time in over 15 years,, i finally kinda feel ok. but my body is still freaking out i lost a lot of weight and look skinny a/f Not sleeping for a week fuckn sucked. but its getting better. getting my appetite back slowly. lol the other day i was like dam its been like 2 months hasnt it? looked at the date, only 30 days hahaha ''just for today'' im not going back. One day at a time. I hope everyone is doing well. you got this!!! dont give up!
crazy thing is like you know when you’re addicted but you can’t stop . I know weed is my downfall right now and I steady deny and make excuses to do it , my girl constantly on me about it and basically knows im addicted to it. I always say im going to quit but just the thought without it is just unimaginable sometimes. I find myself back at the dispensary or hitting my plug up to spend my hard earned money on this shit and once I buy it I tell myself well I can’t waste my money so I have to finish it and you see how it’s become a cycle now . I’m thankful I found this video as I want to began step 1 to quit . keep making videos bro
Brother you and me are in the same boat. I’ve lied to my girl about quitting and smoking behind her back. Only true addicts do something like that. I walk into dispensaries knowing I shouldn’t be there but still get something and smoke. Literally a robot slave to the high. So over a substance controlling my actions that I know are wrong.
I smoked for 7 years and after quitting I realised those 7 years were wasted instead of living my life, meeting new people and building a life of purpose, smoking was a comfort blanket that kept me living my life in the comfort zone. I no longer want to look back and regret the years I wasted turning myself into an antisocial brain dead person who couldn’t hold an articulate conversation with anyone. It’s not worth it in the long run
I was begging for help with this so scary . No vape no weed 6 days in its been rough but I want to find me after 20 yrs smoking. I want to be here for my family. Thank you for doing this videos it's helping.you rock!
Same here. 22 years smoking nearly everyday. Now i am 5 days without and with some community help for the first time. This shit will make you lose your family. Have to keep fighting.
God helped me quit weed, being drunk, tobacco, porn, fast food and many other terrible things. I couldn't have done it on my own strength. I cried out to the Lord Jesus Christ and he answered. He helped me, he can help you too.
Dr. Frank, thank you. I discovered your channel earlier this year when I was trying to quit weed. I quit for 2 months, relapsed, and now I am on day 7 of quitting once again. A close friend of mine had been on his journey of sobriety, but sadly he could not push through anymore and he took his life in august at 22 years old. I want to say to all of you, please keep pushing.
I’ve watched all your videos and they’ve helped me a lot in my weed quitting journey and in life as a whole too. You don’t know me but you’ve had a great positive impact on my life. I will be forever grateful . There is no one else making these proper intellectual videos on how to quit and not relapse and covering everything like u do. You have dedicated your life in this and you are helping thousands. Thank you addiction mindset.
I am 20 years old from London I have consistently been smoking weed and hash every day with no breaks for 6 years, and I've probably wanted to quit for over half that time. I am having my last spliff in a moment and I am going to try again I think it's just a matter of coming to a level of maturity where you can genuinely want to help yourself. thanks for the motivation
Thank You so much for these videos. Im going through severe cannabis withdrawl after 25 years of constant abuse and your videos really hit the mark and give me relief. Its reassuring to hear a Dr describe what Im going through when my Dr is clueless on cannabis and just wants to hand me pills. Thanks again and Much Love. Staying Strong.
Struggling to become the better version of myself.I relapsed recently and I feel like shit. Hopefully I get through this successfully. Thank you for the video.
2 weeks off and stomach is feeling better now. Had a few days of low intake of food but getting way better. I’m feeling better in general. Been reading my Bible wayyyy more! I’m Honestly happy and joyful again too. Thank you for making these! You and God helped me so much! I’m thankful!
@@aurolf6780 took a few days and lots of sleep but 12 days after that and I’m feeling good. Had a few setbacks and life things happen but I’ve stayed strong on keeping weed away. Alcohol has been a thing I’ve noticed has been a problem now so giving myself a couple weeks then going to try and start tackling that now too. Keep pushing friend. I’m enjoying life without it.
@@aurolf6780 I’m a religious person as well and shortly after leaving this comment have been having way better dreams and god speaking to me more now than ever. Weed dulls the senses for sure and that’s why I ran to it. Now it’s time to reclaim Myself. That’s why I quit. And why I will probably stay as such for a good while
@@aurolf6780 it’ll take a few days but keep consistent and cook for yourself. Stay active but also rest. I slept for a few days almost continually. It was bad but I knew I needed it. I read a lot of Bible and got through it you’ll do it!
@@Thebusinessofphotography Thank you for responding, I’m already starting to feel better and my appetite is slowly coming back been praying and slowly starting to heal. Glad you are doing better too keep pushing we got this!
I’m currently having multiple panic attacks and mental breakdowns due to hypochondria from my symptoms I keep thinking I’m dying in one way or another, I’m currently crying my eyes out right now and on the verge of a another panic attack b cause of it
Grateful for this channel as I’m quitting for the third time, I see your channel growing as the populace start to realize being free from weed is the better alternative
today is the day for me, been a 25 year almost every day heavy smoker. and I've been planning for a while. I'm getting married next year and really need to take back control of everything. reading all you guys comments is so motivating... let's do this brothers and sisters!!!
This one of the hardest things I’m having to do in my life, but I feel like my blessings are on the other side. I can do this, we all can.. if we put our all into it 🙏🏾
@@Horusss_ Yes ancient knowledge is always correct for it has stood the test of time. Just don't overdrink for anyone thinking of doing this. Just drink on the weekend. That's what I'm going to do since I'm also quitting weed.
@@alfredpatricio4616 after the first week it only gets better only thing I can say is day after day. I have no urges anymore wake up happy to be alive not how am I gonna get High today. Stay strong know your not alone.
Wow, I've smoked weed for 20 years ,and I've done 7 days without now, just from watching your vids ...I feel like shit ....but I'm gonna keep going as everything you've said has happened ....can't wait to get better ...thank u x
Tbh I wanna stop myself I keep telling myself this the last cart but end up buying another one the next week. Idk maybe if you keep going I’ll stop myself and be all sober
@@Mr.DISCO999 I'm still going ,keep trying , it will get easier and you will become proud of yourself , this will give you more power to keep going ...don't feel like giving up just cos you gave in , well done for trying , if you have to , put less in and cut out certain times ....or just have it at night ,then slowly miss a few nights xx good luck 💓
Thank you bro that over commitment thing that resonated. I've been sitting here watching your videos to stave off these urges. I swear to god I'm tired of these chemicals controlling me.
Hii, greets from Brasil 🇧🇷!! Dude, thank you so much. I am on day 2 and you really helped making the decision to stop. Now that I am all in, you are still helping me focus and understanding the process. Thank you!
I guess where ive always gone wrong is I just think i have to gain control over my habit, rather than totally abstain. So i would go 2-3 weeks sober, and then re introduce weed slowly. The problem is, the control never lasted. Give it another 2-3 weeks of casual use and Id be right back where i started smoking chronically. This is the first time ive realized I can probably never smoke again. Or at least 90 days like you said.thanks for the Info. I always felt like there was no help for weed addiction. Really appreciate it!
Supposedly, it takes 30 days for dopamine levels to return to normal. I’m on day 2 of my 30 day journey, and then I’ll see if I still want to smoke. Like you, I think I want to continue smoking weed, but more as a special treat on occasion rather than something I rely on every day.
I feel you on the unique struggle thing. I started smoking pot everyday when I was 16 today I'm 40 and a half, lol and I never heard of anyone with my situation. I was afraid I wouldn't recover, I thought my brains were completely fried and there was NO turning back but this is the end of day one and I already feel a lot better!
A sincere thank you Dr. Frank! I am day 6 sans cannabis after 25 years of use. I definitely over committed in the first few days and tried to change so much too fast and it was way too much. And I almost gave up but your videoed have helped me accept the process and not try and take on becoming a different person in a week or a month or even a year. Life and growth is a work in progress and you helped remind me of that! So I will do today and remember that my sobriety is my top priority. ☮️
@@al_chargedup I totally agree. But it feels good and it feels right. Keep up the good work and know that we are headed towards giving ourselves a better life. I figured I’ve smoked enough herb that if I want I can tap into that state if I feel the need. Stay strong and lean on people when needed. Give yourself the grace you deserve 🙏
@@scrubmcgubb2542 i did ! almost 2 months weed free…. 😳 it gets easier but i’ll be honest, cravings still come and i have to fight it off…. distract myself.
Thank you for this video. I was sober pretty much up until I met a "friend". I was smoking weed everyday for the last five years. I am now on the road to recovery, talking to these "friends" less and less now that I want to take care of myself and well being.
This vice of ours clouds our minds and numbs our pain. We have to face reality head on. After years of avoiding life and constantly being high I haven't gotten far.. I had recently quit smoking weed after what seems like 10 years of abuse. I had quit for a few months and in those moments of clarity I realized how much I haven't really grown. Hiding so much I didn't experience life and I don't even know who I am. How much is me and how much is the weed? Now as I write this I see the road ahead and how much work and pushing through I'll have to do. But it's better than being on this dirt road to no where. Quit now while youre dancing around the void of addiction. Once you fall in, crawling out will take everything in you. But it's possible. Cut your losses short. Don't even start.
Wow, I'm going very similar. Feels like I wasted 5 years upon the 2 years I broke down mentally before I started the weed. Seeing how much time I wasted makes me not want to start back up again. It really slows down your perception of time.
@@gabrielle-d1b yes brother that time wasted, although enjoyed, could've been time building up and moving forward. Looking ahead it almost feels hopeless, like damn I'm so far behind why even bother. But if you push and maintain yourself. There will be a wave of incredible advancement. You take your time friend. Your mental health is first, then the rest falls into place. I hope this finds you well and strong.
Lol I'm a female but thank you and pray you prosper through the comeback and receive back in abundance all the time, opportunities, health and money the may have been lost. I've been clean for a month and a week and it was really difficult but I'm glad I stuck it out. The heaviness and emptiness is the worst but it gets better slowly. God bless you brother ❤
20 years of smoking and I'm still trying to figure out how to quit but this time I'm so serious about it. I'm going to follow your instructions and see how far I can go without green
It's nice to have a crutch. But when the crutch is the only leg you stand on. It can be hard to move anywhere in a positive direction. Just remember that temporary is truly terrifying. So in every fleeting moment, choose to excel and do your best. You'll find that you can walk on your own strength in due time. For what its worth, from a guy who's balls are firmly gripped by his addiction
Day 15 I don't see any changes in my self. This past weekend day 11, 12, and 13 my body wasn't craving it but my mind was thinking it. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. I'm still the same I feel the same as I did while getting high. I still hate the world, people, easly annoyed. Demotivate, tired, annoyed etc... idk what's up
I stopped for 9 months straight,in 1990.How am I going to do it now,its like a friend to me now,a companion a reality shield.I dread this giant leap for it is all I've known.
30 years on and off for me. I love weed! I just hate that i abuse it. Its constantly smoking or zero. No middle ground. Thats my biggest problem that im working through. The game is about leveling up, whatever that means to your character. Good luck
The 5th day in, and im seeking to continue to the end of the process. Let's say it is not easy to do it and im suffering too much at physical level, mind level, loneliness... but i keep faith and good things are coming.🎉
Thanks buddy. I did a search and that number to call was at the top and I called and it was just horrible. Just utter despair seeing these help lines and it's absolutely awful. So I then watch this and felt better. Thank you!.
Not to break the first rule, but this video helped make me feel good because for the most part it seems I’m on the right track. Don’t get me wrong, there are still more changes/better habits I need to make (quitting vaping being one) but majority of the other rules I kinda just naturally followed. This was very motivating and uplifting, and I can’t wait to live a better life. Thanks doc, and best of luck to everyone trying to change for the better. You can do it.
Day 4 of no weed consumption after 8 whole years of daily overuse...I am 25 now which means i am stoned throughout my whole "adult" life...Give your chance to be sober again and connect with your environment..I am suffering right now but i can assure you the positives in my mind overpass the negatives!!
I really love this channel. You have some great advice. A Friday night alone ahead of a week off work in preparation for week 3 and i was feeling overwhelmed with fear and anxiety - that impending doom feeling. Also doubting my ability to make it through other challenges outside of addiction recovery i am faced with atm. After watching several of your videos and reading numerous comments from the community, i feel vastly more confident and positive about this recovery journey and eagerly await my NA meeting on Sunday because finally i will share, and state my clean time. 41 years old mostly smoking daily since 14. Longest clean time was 7 months and that was probably the most successful period in my life. No more getting comfortable thinking that a little puff, ‘medication’ or ‘reward’ now and then won’t lead to outright daily dependency and tolerance that then leads to crippling lethergy and brain fog. I hate the fact i’ve lost valuable time along with the trust of my family with this addiction. Congratulations to all who made it and i hope to see you on that side of the fence soon.
I just found your channel, I’m a few weeks into quitting - After watching a couple of your videos I can relate to literally everything you’ve stated, I was almost brought to tears as it feels like someone actually understands me And what I’ve been going through - thank you for doing this and I’ll continue to watch, like and subscribe.
If you ever get so lucky to quit, DON’T DARE GO BACK EVEN IF IT’S FOR ONE PUFF OF IT. DON’T DO IT!!! I quit for 6 months already, now I’m back struggling to quit after just thinking I could smoke for only one day. One day became 3 weeks and now I’m back at the addiction and trying to quit.
Haha yep sounds like what I do every so often , I quit for 3 months the then 6 then a year but then always return to it , I been smoking now for 10 weeks straight no breaks from morning till night , it’s Monday today and I said this every day but I gotta quit now I setting myself further and further back 🤦♂️ ima quit after today and not return to it for many years until I’ve made hella progress
i woke up one day after having smoked pot for 20 years daily at least 6 times a day or more depending on the day and said im done. its been 3 years now and i cant even stand the smell of it these days. will power and discipline is the best way to quit anything.
It's been 2 years after I quit. I still feel the exact same as how I did after the first 2 months of quitting. It's been the same ever since. I think I permanently damaged my brain, I have constant brain fog and my social anxiety is the worst it's ever been my entire life. I can't even get myself to text back my childhood best friend and it's been nearly a year. I smoked dab pens since highschool from when I was 16 all the way to 21, everyday, non stop. I didn't even remember what it was like to be sober during that period. Being high was my sober. I spent well over $15,000 on Dab pens alone, I'd use a gram cart per day. Do not make my mistake, although I doubt those who are still smoking will read this comment on this video. Weed can very possibly disable you mentally.
Yo, is your brain better now?? For real curious my man. Relapsed after 10 months after so much improovment. Next two weeks after smoking 2 joints felt like shit and now feeling prime. That's why I'm curious.. but never hit pens or things like that.
@@iamwe7035 sounds like BS to you? I'm still continuing to struggle and there is little to no resources for this condition out there. I'm considering getting checked up for an ADHD diagnoses to see if that's the reason to how disabled I still feel to this day. The audacity to call my experience "bs" is astounding and highly narcissistic. I live quite healthy on a day to day basis, a balanced diet and regularly exercising and lifting. But none of that has helped me through this period, nor am I ever going back to smoking again. There are clearly other factors at play and I'm going to do everything in my power to tackle and reverse this damage I've caused to my brain. In the meanwhile, don't you ever accuse me of BS'ing my experiences in hopes to validate your continuation of smoking.
@@SmokeyCRO Unfortunately, I'm still feeling the same. That doesn't mean I'll ever begin smoking again to cause any further damage. Everyone has their own unique experience to this, I'm just saying that there can be a very realistic possibility that weed can hinder your brain development significantly.
Shit’s so hard. I already struggle with insomnia and having no appetite, even with the help of weed. My father has been a daily user since he was 14, and unfortunately I fell into the same habit at 16 as he’s always taught us it’s ‘medicine’ and even encourages me to use it whenever I complain of nausea/anxiety/pain. I’m now almost 22 and i’ve never spent a single dollar on weed (father’s ..resources..), and I can’t remember the last time I went more than 3 days without, which just makes it 10000x harder because it’s so easily accessible. Literally all I have to do is walk out into the dining room and there’s about $100 worth on the table, readily accessible at any given point in time. Everyone in my house is high 24/7, but I believe I have ADHD and to get any sort of medical help for that I have to do a drug test… if I can even just quit for long enough to pass a pee test & just go back to recreational i’ll be happy. But I don’t see it being easy…
This is so good.. I struggle with comparing myself SO MUCH’ I downloaded the quit vaping app and it gave me even more anxiety seeing so many ppls timelines and their battles it kept making me fold. I’m back to square one again today.. just threw out a vape a hr ago! And I struggle with overcommitting as well!! Omg this was so spot on! I def gotta calm down on trying to do everything at once . Taking notes 💯💯 thanks doc !
Thanks for the info as usual DR. Frank. Yea I thought I was different also, I thought it would be no big deal to quit. Yep I was wrong! Everyone is different. Everyone stay strong it gets better. TRUST ME! 👍🏻🇺🇲
It's a hard balance when it works so perfectly for anxiety for me. I have insomnia and I literally tried to sleep for 5 hours last night. I ended up smoking because I was going insane. I only have 1 or 2 hits left luckily
The weed is making your anxiety worst why do you think you ended up feeling better after smoking it’s because your body can’t function due to smoking so much making you anxious
@@joshuagraham1243 but weed didn’t cause my anxiety it was there before I smoked. I stopped since this comment and still am having the same sleep problems I’ve had since I was very young. Like 10.
@@millennialbuddhism2619 I have had sleep problems since I was a child it’s not from weed…. Like ever since I can remember I have had insomnia. I didn’t start smoking until later in my life. I don’t think you understand my situation
I‘m on day 8 and feeling ok. I smoked mostly in the evening like 3 to 6 j‘s for 8 years. I made so many excuses but deep inside i knew quitting is the right thing. Thank you for your work. Your Videos help me so much. And all the comments motivate me sm as well ❤ Keep going guys!!! A better life is waiting for you 🙏🏻
Day 7 now and I think my symptoms have peaked. The biggest benefit so far has been from me getting more rem sleep. I’m feeling more grounded and rested today than I have in idk how long.
This is your best work on cannabis IMO your videos are helping solidify the reasons needed to quit after smoking near constantly from 14-24 years old. Thank you! I have a couple questions though; is CHS the symptoms you get when stopping smoking or something that happens while smoking excessively? Also; what certifications are out there and what would you recommend for substance abuse treatment?
Biggest issue I had was really really struggling for the first 3 days then finding it easy, then after 2 or 3 weeks telling myself quitting was easy I don’t know why I made a big deal of it in fact! I’m going to buy some more because I know I can stop again easy then years later still doing it.
The only problem I have right now is I always dream anytime I sleep . Even at a quick nap , I must dream😭. This is my 2nd month . I’m good and I don’t have any symptom except always dreaming .
So when you smoke weed your body stops going into rem sleep. In this rem sleep is when you actually dream. So if you for example smoke regularly your body will not go into rem sleep until you quit. Although now that you quit your body is trying to catch up with all the rem sleep it has lost. Hence the dreams.
Day 9 Night 9 Rebirth after Labor Day 2023, social anxiety and confidence is so much better along with my speech and communication. I feel my verbal word library isn’t as limited I’m not stuttering and loss for words as much

Thank you for this video I realized I have every symptom your talking about
i love your channel i watch alot of video in your channel and they are realy helpful for me i am in day 2 thanks my brother
You atleast have a goal.. i enjoy your motivation its what many of us need...i wonder if one day i will look back and say yes this was a good choice....even if it is i still have no future im fucked but i will be clean angry and fucked😂
Loneliness is one of the biggest factors for me. It’s hard to quit when you’re always alone & the weed helps distract from that.
Wow I’m a senior 68 I just smoke all day I’m really lonely on the live all day addicted to weed and my phone ugh got two books to release business ideas etc ugh
I take breaks from cannabis sometimes because my tolerance raises.
But from my experience I prefer to be alone. For some reason I get angry the first week and someone can say something wrong (even silly things) and I would just snap...
Everybodys different I guess
@@queenratv115 you seem like the most genuine kind hearted person may god bless u
you're anything but alone Darik, I heard in a jordan peterson video (with Dr John Delony) that you start small to make new friends/ find a community. you can start with the lost art of a handshake, and eye contact when greeting someone new. that makes a good impression. find a place like a coffee shop you like, or even a restaurant and meet the register worker, introduce yourself as someone who will be a regular there. something I need to teach myself too: People won't bite you. remember that, people yearn for attention/someone to call them by their name with a smile on a regular basis. That's what a friend is!
Same loneliness is crazy
Day 26: Finally sleeping through the night. Eating better. Feel so much better! I have $300 extra a month. Stay strong!!!
Did you sleep got normal after 26 days? Seems very long.
Still congratulations.
I get to sleep well after 1week
Holy shit 26 days lord have mercy im on day 2.
Ahhhh the hardest part is o don't supply myself I cam even roll I just get it whenever I want and it's terrible because I keep breaking akd having to start over again it's so hard on me 😢 I never knew I could be this addicted at only 23....thank God I've never used anything but weed or I be having big problems right now
You are really strong respect 🙂
It's so cool to see homies in the comments supporting each other in quitting. Any time I've mentioned quitting to the people around me, they've tried to make me feel dumb for it, and like weed is a miracle drug. We can all do it, here's to self-improvement.
I hate that ! I’ve been speaking about my desire to quit and being stressed about the withdrawal, and some smokers always answer with « weed is not addictive/i can quit whenever I want/weed is good and has no side effects on anyone » like they’re completely ignoring the 10% we make of marijuana users, the 10% that actually have problematic use. Reading comments here and watching these videos is somehow reassuring.
don’t feel dumb bro. ur not alone i’m right here w you i’m on day 5 stay strong we got this ❤️❤️
One of the worst parts of quitting weed, nobody takes it seriously
@@ast.iko94370bro this guys are addicted, don’t listen to people who say you should dip your friends because they “don’t support” you quitting. Most of the time they just afraid you not gonna hang with them again if you stop, that’s normal weed smoker thinking 😂😂
@@AintItGreat if they are not in your situation, they will never get it. Just quit, and show them life can be better than just smoking. But don’t become that “anti weed” guy. Let people smoke or quit in their own time
3 days in and I’m suffering but I will sacrifice this for a better tomorrow . Good luck everyone
How’s it going
How you getting on bro?
@@LadyShaeDresses I believe in you
i quit for fww days but relapse on weekends that's the difficult step
i’m 3 days in too
57 years old smoked tobacco since my teens, weed for 23 years daily, a week in no tobacco, no weed, very little sleep real bad dreams and my bedding is soaking in the mornings, I don’t have money for weed at the moment, I declined FREE WEED yesterday, I got this 2024 things gonna change for the better for me.
❤
I really hope you're still sober sir. 🙏
So how is the journey 7 months later
Keep it up Brother, it will get better and easier
Weed was my best friend
..and then it stabbed me in the back slowly, silently, progressively. Before i knew it, i was smoking two joints before i would smoke two joints...then I'd smoke two more.
Slid that spm lyric in there
I hope you meant Sublime ..
I find I`m doing the opposite. A toke after work and dinner. I vape distillates in between.
I prefer distillates over smoking.
If he was talking spm he would have smoked 2 joints before he played videos games and another 2 every 10,000 points
@OneNationUnderGodOnly2Genders
That's exactly how I feel about it. It's like my friend too and most times I'd rather hangout with my weed than people. I'm scared to give it up because I think I'm going to miss it and at the same time I hate it because I'm sick of it and myself being on it all the time 😞
Thinking of trying cbd oil to wean myself off and eventually stop that too. Oh and the stupid tobacco too.
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
People need to realise that people with anxiety disorders have oversensitised nerves, it's not a simple case of manning up and getting over it.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about how mushrooms and psychedelics treats anxiety, but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, doctor Greg mushroom I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Please, how do I reach doctor Greg?
Is he on the internet?
The fact that nobody talks about subliminal affirmations for overcoming addiction on Borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
What is that? Im interested if this could help me with addictions
@@logan2591 I think this is a BoT smh I keep seeing this “borlest” comment on almost every UA-cam video I’ve watched lately
@@TequilaStandifer8888 oh true, i think u right
A huge one for me, is that with drug and alcohol addiction, my relapses were almost never during bad moments. They would happen during “good” moments, where I felt too secure that I was improving my life, and so a couple drinks/joints/whatever wouldnt hurt. Then find myself back at square one within a short period of time
Damn that’s the scariest. I’ll start over committing and be super healthy, exercise and take all the supplements under the sun. Then my addicted brain thinks I’ll get mega high
So fuckin true
very true. for me too, when I feel the most secure is when relapses come
Same here. I would quit for 6 months and think I got this and start smoking again.
This is me too. I quit and then when I’m doing really good I’m like okay, I deserve to chill for a bit and slowly I relapse to my old ways
"You can choose to ignore those excuses even if theyre valid"
Well said man. Youre doing good work, helping people
Yeah he worded that well and it hit the spot!
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!

I smoked weed and tobacco just about every day for 30 yr then one day 3 yr ago I started getting a real bad pain in my back around the lung area so I quit smoking around a month later I realised the pain in my back was from my posture and the way I was sitting so I changed that and the pain disappeared. So I quit smoking for the wrong reason lol but I’ve never looked back and wish I’d stopped sooner. Never thought I’d quit but If I can quit so can you. Stay strong 💪
I know people who won’t stop and they know it’s directly affecting their health you quit as soon as you thought it was a problem I’d say You quit for the right reason and I’m very happy for u
Ive been to rehab and the main message they gave me as i left was " the worst thing you can do now is sit at home bored & lonely ". I believe thats a message everyone should get and for free so i share this knowledge from an expensive rehab here for free.
All of these are such great points!
Started smoking at 19.
Im 29 now.
I have relapsed so much.
But no more excuses!
I’m so sick of the groggy lazy feeling I have inside! It’s gross!
How you doing brother, I relapsed and I am starting again today!
I keep relapsing 😢 but I'm trying so hard cause it allows me down too much and I hage the potential to be great but my habit drags me.
@Chrissy ikr brother! I ended up relapsing again aswell. We can get through this brother. 💪
Damn when ya say “relapse” it really makes us feel like crackheads
@@Dontbuglee you do get to that point with it though. We all got that inner crackhead if none in stock lol
I started smoking at 15, i am now 69 and today is the beginning of me not smoking . Its been 1 hour so far.😅
How you been
How u been
Holy shit atp you should've just kept it going 💀 jk my man, if that's what you're feeling called to do then I hope you benefit from it
You are telling part of my story. I am also 69 and have been smoking weed since 1967 . I did quit for a year one time and felt better but slid back to daily smoking. Good luck to you.
@@70wildgooseMe too man smoked 28 years and also quit for 1 year and begin with it again for 7 years now and really done with it now.
Smoked weed almost everyday since 16, stopped for 2 months at 18, but started smoking again. I'm 21 rn, and I haven't smoked for 4 months. I quit cold turkey when I had reached my peak. My problem is when I start smoking I can't stop myself from smoking more everyday. I thought about smoking today, but it's been so long since I had spent so much time without smoking. I'm proud of myself, but I don't know why I'm such an addict in general. I have this constant tendency of wanting to drown myself in something, why can't I just be happy without getting that release? I probably put too much pressure on myself. I just want to be at peace. I can't let myself be.
could you have another issue, like perhaps adhd? I found out I do, so I definitely have to quit so I can take proper medication. You can do it
Robert, started when I was 14, I'm now 64! I've quit several times in my life. Try exercising, eat good, surround yourself with only quality people, don't give up. Drink water. Take yourself out of yourself. When you finally realize you are the source of your own pain, you will quit. Get help. Don't isolate. Life is short & time is precious... Good 🤞
Such a relatable comment. Everything you said really described perfectly how I feel about myself too. I’m yet to uncover why I need a crutch so doing the mental health work now. Sending good vibes to you. You’re not alone 💪🏽
So relatable bro..
There are other things in your life that you need to iron out. There will never be “peace” in life because it’s not meant to be a one sided joyride of happiness. Once you become comfortable with being uncomfortable that’s when your predicament becomes your solitude. Every living thing on this planet has some sort of purpose. You weren’t put on this earth just to feel happy. Don’t live for happiness or peace, live for a purpose.
Psilocybin being illegal is a crime against humanity! Psilocybin containing mushroom saved me from my life long addiction to weed smoking. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Want to get into shroom microdosing but it's just so hard to source please can someone source me? I'll so much appreciate
Hey rose I'm very sure of dr.lucasmushrooms
Yes.Saw people talk about …, checked him out on instgrm and I must say he is very good at what he does.

Yes, he ships discreet and anonymous
I really love how you acknowledge that there are valid reasons to smoke cannabis, or consume cannabis, but those valid reasons can’t come before getting sober in addiction. I have an addictive brain, I’ve given up all other drugs, but haven’t been able to give up cannabis, and though I’m not “ready“, if I don’t begin at some point, I’m never going to be ready. Great video!
Cannabis isn't addictive. It has over 400 properties and not a single one is addictive. I'm about to be 45, been smoking since I was 16, stopped during both my pregnancies, started back up and then it became legal in 2016. I've been a medical card holder for 3 years now. Cannabis is my medicine. Getting stoned is a perk! When you have chronic pain and can't take nor want to take pills, weed is the best alternative.
@@420saraloufor sure I rather do weed than anything else out here shit is scary lol
@@420saralouThat’s great that it works for you! But your experience doesn’t speak for everyone else, I believe the addiction aspect is dependent on the person, while I love smoking weed, I was very much addicted to it, I would smoke all day and just ignore my priorities cause I valued getting baked over actually being functional and getting my life together so at that point I really had no choice but to stop, currently on day 9 of no weed, it really was the big obstacle that I had to accept in order to be able to accomplish what I want in life, like I said before if it works, that’s great and more power to you but just because there is no addictive properties in it doesn’t mean that it’s not addictive
I started smoking weed since my teenage. Got addicted to crack for over 23 years. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder, not until my Mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Amen God bless people, save your mind save your health life is better without heroin, crack, alcohol and cigarettes and you will have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes which can be cause so much damage to health
I have heard a lot of good about mushrooms and psychedelics. Really want to try them for anxiety. Just very hard to get a reliable source here in UK, really need it.

I was in 10th grade when I decided I wanted to turn to weed. 6 years later and I’m still living with my parent downing endless amounts of weed and vapes. I had a football scholarship I had a girlfriend I had good men around me. The weed and vapes changed me by the time I hit 12th I lost all my friends. I lost my heathy muscles and tan skin. I lost the ability to play football and I lost the focus I had built from pre k till 11th which caused me to drop out. 18 years old now I’m 23 and I haven’t did anything but work and supply my habbits. I was this close to making it out of a hard life I grew up in. Now I’m watching my once called friends Get married move into houses having baby’s and actually look there age. While I’m over here tying to get myself out of a addiction hole that I digged way to deep for myself.
Don't stress, and stop looking at others. We all have our own journey and yours is perfect for YOU. Focus and stay strong
You’re a fuckin boss homie you can do anything you want
We can always revert to comparison. The next guy is better than the next guy, who’s trying to become the next guy. What you did and what has happened doesn’t have to define what you do going forward. Hit the turf again: run some drills and routes. Work until you’re exhausted. Learn something new: a trades skill, new hobby, or make a spiritual epiphany. Get involved and meet people! This might be hard, so try to volunteer or get involved in your local community center. There’s still time. I hope everything goes well for you my brother. I don’t know who you are, but I will keep you in my prayers.
u keep pushing through
@alexanderchaves8825 ok
Dude you have no idea how much your videos are helping. I've watched a bunch the past few days, but I wanted to leave a comment on at least one of them. I can't thank you enough. Your videos are like having on-demand support. Please keep up the excellent work.

Agreed!! Thank you so much 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’ve been smoking since 18.(I’m 30 now)2 days sober for me!🙏🏾 I feel pretty good, I do have some urges to smoke but I just go to the gym and/or find something else to keep me busy. Main reason I stopped is because I have a son who will be here in a few months. With this being my first my child I want to make sure I’m the best version of myself raising and teaching him.
Are you still going strong?
how's it going? i hope you're doing well
@@philos33 I’m doing much better, thank you for asking. I was on a solid streak, powering through four months of progress, when life unexpectedly blindsided me with a tackle that knocked me off my feet. I won’t pretend to be proud of the relapse, but I did realize just how low my tolerance has become compared to how I used to be. It’s a tough moment, but I’m determined to pick myself back up! Almost 2 months sober.
@@KrisGraham I faced a setback recently due to some life challenges, which led to a relapse. It's not a moment I’m particularly proud of, but I’m nearly two months clean now and have learned a lot from the experience.
Made my 1st full week not smoking weed. Let’s see what week 2 brings!
its been a month weed free for the first time in over 15 years,, i finally kinda feel ok. but my body is still freaking out i lost a lot of weight and look skinny a/f Not sleeping for a week fuckn sucked. but its getting better. getting my appetite back slowly. lol the other day i was like dam its been like 2 months hasnt it? looked at the date, only 30 days hahaha ''just for today'' im not going back. One day at a time. I hope everyone is doing well. you got this!!! dont give up!

@@AddictionMindset Thanks! keep up the good work helping people !
keep it up don’t fall for it , it’s long journey ahead
Im 38, smoked weed since i was 14.. quit for 3 years in 2014 and worst thing i did was go back. This is day 1 for me and no matter what never again.
crazy thing is like you know when you’re addicted but you can’t stop . I know weed is my downfall right now and I steady deny and make excuses to do it , my girl constantly on me about it and basically knows im addicted to it. I always say im going to quit but just the thought without it is just unimaginable sometimes. I find myself back at the dispensary or hitting my plug up to spend my hard earned money on this shit and once I buy it I tell myself well I can’t waste my money so I have to finish it and you see how it’s become a cycle now . I’m thankful I found this video as I want to began step 1 to quit . keep making videos bro
Brother you and me are in the same boat. I’ve lied to my girl about quitting and smoking behind her back. Only true addicts do something like that. I walk into dispensaries knowing I shouldn’t be there but still get something and smoke. Literally a robot slave to the high. So over a substance controlling my actions that I know are wrong.
I smoked for 7 years and after quitting I realised those 7 years were wasted instead of living my life, meeting new people and building a life of purpose, smoking was a comfort blanket that kept me living my life in the comfort zone. I no longer want to look back and regret the years I wasted turning myself into an antisocial brain dead person who couldn’t hold an articulate conversation with anyone. It’s not worth it in the long run
Trust me I've read so many comments but this one hits me on my spine. Feel the same.. How you're going almost a year later?
damn reality hits with this comment ahah
I was begging for help with this so scary . No vape no weed 6 days in its been rough but I want to find me after 20 yrs smoking. I want to be here for my family. Thank you for doing this videos it's helping.you rock!
Same here. 22 years smoking nearly everyday. Now i am 5 days without and with some community help for the first time. This shit will make you lose your family. Have to keep fighting.
God helped me quit weed, being drunk, tobacco, porn, fast food and many other terrible things. I couldn't have done it on my own strength. I cried out to the Lord Jesus Christ and he answered. He helped me, he can help you too.
Dr. Frank, thank you. I discovered your channel earlier this year when I was trying to quit weed. I quit for 2 months, relapsed, and now I am on day 7 of quitting once again. A close friend of mine had been on his journey of sobriety, but sadly he could not push through anymore and he took his life in august at 22 years old. I want to say to all of you, please keep pushing.
Ty for sharing it's hard but I know I can I'll will remember this next time I complain
He took his life because he relapsed on WEED? Or another drug? Im very courious. And im very sad and sorry that happened to him
I’m trying to quit having anxiety attacks I’m scared to stop but I’m reading your comments and makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing
I’ve watched all your videos and they’ve helped me a lot in my weed quitting journey and in life as a whole too. You don’t know me but you’ve had a great positive impact on my life. I will be forever grateful . There is no one else making these proper intellectual videos on how to quit and not relapse and covering everything like u do.

I recently quit and what's helping me is not counting the days. I really don't know when I stopped and that's a good thing for me.
Grateful for this channel as I’m quitting for the third time, I see your channel growing as the populace start to realize being free from weed is the better alternative
today is the day for me, been a 25 year almost every day heavy smoker. and I've been planning for a while. I'm getting married next year and really need to take back control of everything. reading all you guys comments is so motivating... let's do this brothers and sisters!!!
This one of the hardest things I’m having to do in my life, but I feel like my blessings are on the other side. I can do this, we all can.. if we put our all into it 🙏🏾
@@phreddiephreakerhow’s it going now?
@@03PaK@phreddiephreaker yes sir please describe jour journey and @ us
The worst thing really is picking up the bottle after not smoking. I’m guilty of that
yup yup need to be on guard for that!
That is funny AF if I see it in my friend circle. Yes you quit weed, but you did absolutely nothing if you started drinking instead.
At least drinking doesnt make you lazy. Im doing that now. Alcohol is a spirit, meaning it lifts the spirits that weed brought down
@@cannonfodder8287 ahh yes the ancient knowledge
@@Horusss_ Yes ancient knowledge is always correct for it has stood the test of time. Just don't overdrink for anyone thinking of doing this. Just drink on the weekend. That's what I'm going to do since I'm also quitting weed.
God bless anyone going through this ugly stage stay strong
Day 6 for me. Keep it up everyone...we Are doing it for ourselves
Same here….how’s it going for you? I can’t sleep it’s tough
Same here week and a half for me stay strong it’s for the better
@@alfredpatricio4616 after the first week it only gets better only thing I can say is day after day. I have no urges anymore wake up happy to be alive not how am I gonna get High today. Stay strong know your not alone.
3 years here 😊 keep up guys it’s a tough journey but you will make it 😉
Wow, I've smoked weed for 20 years ,and I've done 7 days without now, just from watching your vids ...I feel like shit ....but I'm gonna keep going as everything you've said has happened ....can't wait to get better ...thank u x
Tbh I wanna stop myself I keep telling myself this the last cart but end up buying another one the next week. Idk maybe if you keep going I’ll stop myself and be all sober
@@Mr.DISCO999 I'm still going ,keep trying , it will get easier and you will become proud of yourself , this will give you more power to keep going ...don't feel like giving up just cos you gave in , well done for trying , if you have to , put less in and cut out certain times ....or just have it at night ,then slowly miss a few nights xx good luck 💓
How are you doing ,xx if it's any help ...I'm mash up 🤣🤣❤ only til Tom tho ...day 1 again 😂😂❤❤
@@Mr.DISCO999 tell myself the same thing “after this cart I’m done” like a revolving door 😣
Thank you bro that over commitment thing that resonated. I've been sitting here watching your videos to stave off these urges. I swear to god I'm tired of these chemicals controlling me.
Great to see so many people seeing the value in these videos, i am off weed 13 days, feel good, keep going you guys 😊
Hii, greets from Brasil 🇧🇷!! Dude, thank you so much. I am on day 2 and you really helped making the decision to stop. Now that I am all in, you are still helping me focus and understanding the process. Thank you!
26 days sober and i feel great
Saving money , working out more , socializing more & got a date coming up soon
I guess where ive always gone wrong is I just think i have to gain control over my habit, rather than totally abstain. So i would go 2-3 weeks sober, and then re introduce weed slowly. The problem is, the control never lasted. Give it another 2-3 weeks of casual use and Id be right back where i started smoking chronically. This is the first time ive realized I can probably never smoke again. Or at least 90 days like you said.thanks for the Info. I always felt like there was no help for weed addiction. Really appreciate it!
Supposedly, it takes 30 days for dopamine levels to return to normal. I’m on day 2 of my 30 day journey, and then I’ll see if I still want to smoke. Like you, I think I want to continue smoking weed, but more as a special treat on occasion rather than something I rely on every day.
I feel you on the unique struggle thing. I started smoking pot everyday when I was 16 today I'm 40 and a half, lol and I never heard of anyone with my situation. I was afraid I wouldn't recover, I thought my brains were completely fried and there was NO turning back but this is the end of day one and I already feel a lot better!
A sincere thank you Dr. Frank! I am day 6 sans cannabis after 25 years of use. I definitely over committed in the first few days and tried to change so much too fast and it was way too much. And I almost gave up but your videoed have helped me accept the process and not try and take on becoming a different person in a week or a month or even a year.
Life and growth is a work in progress and you helped remind me of that! So I will do today and remember that my sobriety is my top priority.
☮️
@@al_chargedup I totally agree. But it feels good and it feels right. Keep up the good work and know that we are headed towards giving ourselves a better life. I figured I’ve smoked enough herb that if I want I can tap into that state if I feel the need.
Stay strong and lean on people when needed. Give yourself the grace you deserve 🙏
almost 40 hours weed free …… so hard! Good luck friends!!! ❤ We got this 😊
Did you make it?
@@scrubmcgubb2542 i did ! almost 2 months weed free…. 😳 it gets easier but i’ll be honest, cravings still come and i have to fight it off…. distract myself.
?
I’m on my third day 😊
2 weeks now drug”weed”free!three decades smoking cold turkey and life is getting better ❤️🩹
Thank you for this video. I was sober pretty much up until I met a "friend". I was smoking weed everyday for the last five years. I am now on the road to recovery, talking to these "friends" less and less now that I want to take care of myself and well being.
This vice of ours clouds our minds and numbs our pain. We have to face reality head on. After years of avoiding life and constantly being high I haven't gotten far.. I had recently quit smoking weed after what seems like 10 years of abuse. I had quit for a few months and in those moments of clarity I realized how much I haven't really grown. Hiding so much I didn't experience life and I don't even know who I am. How much is me and how much is the weed? Now as I write this I see the road ahead and how much work and pushing through I'll have to do. But it's better than being on this dirt road to no where. Quit now while youre dancing around the void of addiction. Once you fall in, crawling out will take everything in you. But it's possible. Cut your losses short. Don't even start.
Wow, I'm going very similar. Feels like I wasted 5 years upon the 2 years I broke down mentally before I started the weed. Seeing how much time I wasted makes me not want to start back up again. It really slows down your perception of time.
@@gabrielle-d1b yes brother that time wasted, although enjoyed, could've been time building up and moving forward. Looking ahead it almost feels hopeless, like damn I'm so far behind why even bother. But if you push and maintain yourself. There will be a wave of incredible advancement. You take your time friend. Your mental health is first, then the rest falls into place. I hope this finds you well and strong.
Lol I'm a female but thank you and pray you prosper through the comeback and receive back in abundance all the time, opportunities, health and money the may have been lost. I've been clean for a month and a week and it was really difficult but I'm glad I stuck it out. The heaviness and emptiness is the worst but it gets better slowly. God bless you brother ❤
20 years of smoking and I'm still trying to figure out how to quit but this time I'm so serious about it.
I'm going to follow your instructions and see how far I can go without green
I really just need to realize “one last time” is never one last time.
It's nice to have a crutch. But when the crutch is the only leg you stand on. It can be hard to move anywhere in a positive direction. Just remember that temporary is truly terrifying. So in every fleeting moment, choose to excel and do your best. You'll find that you can walk on your own strength in due time. For what its worth, from a guy who's balls are firmly gripped by his addiction
Day 15 I don't see any changes in my self.
This past weekend day 11, 12, and 13 my body wasn't craving it but my mind was thinking it.
I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm still the same I feel the same as I did while getting high.
I still hate the world, people, easly annoyed.
Demotivate, tired, annoyed etc... idk what's up
Don't worry about the days just keep on swimming until u find land. It Gets worst before it gets better
Day 15! Congrats! Keep going you are gonna make it💪💪💪
I stopped for 9 months straight,in 1990.How am I going to do it now,its like a friend to me now,a companion a reality shield.I dread this giant leap for it is all I've known.
30 years on and off for me. I love weed! I just hate that i abuse it. Its constantly smoking or zero. No middle ground. Thats my biggest problem that im working through. The game is about leveling up, whatever that means to your character. Good luck
The 5th day in, and im seeking to continue to the end of the process. Let's say it is not easy to do it and im suffering too much at physical level, mind level, loneliness... but i keep faith and good things are coming.🎉
Thanks buddy. I did a search and that number to call was at the top and I called and it was just horrible. Just utter despair seeing these help lines and it's absolutely awful. So I then watch this and felt better. Thank you!.
Anytime! Check out the pinned comment I got tons of free reasources
Good point about ignoring the fact we wanted to quit but put it out of our minds. The inverse is true too!
Not to break the first rule, but this video helped make me feel good because for the most part it seems I’m on the right track. Don’t get me wrong, there are still more changes/better habits I need to make (quitting vaping being one) but majority of the other rules I kinda just naturally followed. This was very motivating and uplifting, and I can’t wait to live a better life. Thanks doc, and best of luck to everyone trying to change for the better. You can do it.
I wrote a date yesterday on the ground and decided that was my day to start my quitting, and today I met this. Thank you. Let me start the journey.🎉
Golden advice, really! I've been weak when it comes to giving up tobacco but each time I try I know I'm getting closer to being successful.
Your getting close! Just a matter of going for it! Happy to have you here
Thank you so much!
Day 4 of no weed consumption after 8 whole years of daily overuse...I am 25 now which means i am stoned throughout my whole "adult" life...Give your chance to be sober again and connect with your environment..I am suffering right now but i can assure you the positives in my mind overpass the negatives!!
Nice shoutout to CG kid that guy has helped so many people and had/has such an amazing channel. Great stuff doc!
He really does, was one of the first people I watched.
I really love this channel. You have some great advice. A Friday night alone ahead of a week off work in preparation for week 3 and i was feeling overwhelmed with fear and anxiety - that impending doom feeling. Also doubting my ability to make it through other challenges outside of addiction recovery i am faced with atm. After watching several of your videos and reading numerous comments from the community, i feel vastly more confident and positive about this recovery journey and eagerly await my NA meeting on Sunday because finally i will share, and state my clean time. 41 years old mostly smoking daily since 14. Longest clean time was 7 months and that was probably the most successful period in my life. No more getting comfortable thinking that a little puff, ‘medication’ or ‘reward’ now and then won’t lead to outright daily dependency and tolerance that then leads to crippling lethergy and brain fog. I hate the fact i’ve lost valuable time along with the trust of my family with this addiction. Congratulations to all who made it and i hope to see you on that side of the fence soon.
Wow this video was facts! Currently going through my CHS and withdrawals. Day 3 and this video is motivating me to keep going!!!
💪🙏props on getting through 72!
yo this video mysteriously popped up when i needed it, crazy i thought im the only one, everything he said is me
universe is wild
I just found your channel, I’m a few weeks into quitting - After watching a couple of your videos I can relate to literally everything you’ve stated, I was almost brought to tears as it feels like someone actually understands me And what I’ve been going through - thank you for doing this and I’ll continue to watch, like and subscribe.
If you ever get so lucky to quit, DON’T DARE GO BACK EVEN IF IT’S FOR ONE PUFF OF IT. DON’T DO IT!!! I quit for 6 months already, now I’m back struggling to quit after just thinking I could smoke for only one day. One day became 3 weeks and now I’m back at the addiction and trying to quit.
Haha yep sounds like what I do every so often , I quit for 3 months the then 6 then a year but then always return to it , I been smoking now for 10 weeks straight no breaks from morning till night , it’s Monday today and I said this every day but I gotta quit now I setting myself further and further back 🤦♂️ ima quit after today and not return to it for many years until I’ve made hella progress
You got this bro I believe in you
i woke up one day after having smoked pot for 20 years daily at least 6 times a day or more depending on the day and said im done. its been 3 years now and i cant even stand the smell of it these days. will power and discipline is the best way to quit anything.
Damn that is actually fascinating
It's been 2 years after I quit. I still feel the exact same as how I did after the first 2 months of quitting. It's been the same ever since. I think I permanently damaged my brain, I have constant brain fog and my social anxiety is the worst it's ever been my entire life. I can't even get myself to text back my childhood best friend and it's been nearly a year.
I smoked dab pens since highschool from when I was 16 all the way to 21, everyday, non stop. I didn't even remember what it was like to be sober during that period. Being high was my sober. I spent well over $15,000 on Dab pens alone, I'd use a gram cart per day. Do not make my mistake, although I doubt those who are still smoking will read this comment on this video. Weed can very possibly disable you mentally.
How is the brain fog and all the mental effects now?
Yo, is your brain better now?? For real curious my man. Relapsed after 10 months after so much improovment. Next two weeks after smoking 2 joints felt like shit and now feeling prime. That's why I'm curious.. but never hit pens or things like that.
sounds like bs to me in all honesty don't pay attention this post pay attention to your own experience......
@@iamwe7035 sounds like BS to you? I'm still continuing to struggle and there is little to no resources for this condition out there. I'm considering getting checked up for an ADHD diagnoses to see if that's the reason to how disabled I still feel to this day. The audacity to call my experience "bs" is astounding and highly narcissistic. I live quite healthy on a day to day basis, a balanced diet and regularly exercising and lifting. But none of that has helped me through this period, nor am I ever going back to smoking again. There are clearly other factors at play and I'm going to do everything in my power to tackle and reverse this damage I've caused to my brain. In the meanwhile, don't you ever accuse me of BS'ing my experiences in hopes to validate your continuation of smoking.
@@SmokeyCRO Unfortunately, I'm still feeling the same. That doesn't mean I'll ever begin smoking again to cause any further damage. Everyone has their own unique experience to this, I'm just saying that there can be a very realistic possibility that weed can hinder your brain development significantly.
Shit’s so hard. I already struggle with insomnia and having no appetite, even with the help of weed. My father has been a daily user since he was 14, and unfortunately I fell into the same habit at 16 as he’s always taught us it’s ‘medicine’ and even encourages me to use it whenever I complain of nausea/anxiety/pain. I’m now almost 22 and i’ve never spent a single dollar on weed (father’s ..resources..), and I can’t remember the last time I went more than 3 days without, which just makes it 10000x harder because it’s so easily accessible. Literally all I have to do is walk out into the dining room and there’s about $100 worth on the table, readily accessible at any given point in time.
Everyone in my house is high 24/7, but I believe I have ADHD and to get any sort of medical help for that I have to do a drug test… if I can even just quit for long enough to pass a pee test & just go back to recreational i’ll be happy. But I don’t see it being easy…
This is so good.. I struggle with comparing myself SO MUCH’ I downloaded the quit vaping app and it gave me even more anxiety seeing so many ppls timelines and their battles it kept making me fold. I’m back to square one again today.. just threw out a vape a hr ago! And I struggle with overcommitting as well!! Omg this was so spot on! I def gotta calm down on trying to do everything at once . Taking notes 💯💯 thanks doc !
Thanks for the info as usual DR. Frank. Yea I thought I was different also, I thought it would be no big deal to quit. Yep I was wrong! Everyone is different. Everyone stay strong it gets better. TRUST ME! 👍🏻🇺🇲
anytime! Its awesome how much we can all relate!
Thanks!
It's a hard balance when it works so perfectly for anxiety for me. I have insomnia and I literally tried to sleep for 5 hours last night. I ended up smoking because I was going insane. I only have 1 or 2 hits left luckily
highly suggest watching andrew huberman talking about dopamine and how it affects us and our sleep.
The weed is making your anxiety worst why do you think you ended up feeling better after smoking it’s because your body can’t function due to smoking so much making you anxious
@@joshuagraham1243 but weed didn’t cause my anxiety it was there before I smoked. I stopped since this comment and still am having the same sleep problems I’ve had since I was very young. Like 10.
@@elzydev seriously. go watch andrew huberman talk about what cannabis does to the brain. it affects dopamine which regulates our sleep.
@@millennialbuddhism2619 I have had sleep problems since I was a child it’s not from weed…. Like ever since I can remember I have had insomnia. I didn’t start smoking until later in my life. I don’t think you understand my situation
I‘m on day 8 and feeling ok. I smoked mostly in the evening like 3 to 6 j‘s for 8 years. I made so many excuses but deep inside i knew quitting is the right thing. Thank you for your work. Your Videos help me so much. And all the comments motivate me sm as well ❤ Keep going guys!!! A better life is waiting for you 🙏🏻
Quit weed but traded it for a bad caffeine addiction which still made me feel like shit, trying to quit caffeine now
Be smart if it is between caffeine or thc choose caffeine for a while don’t try to get off everything at the same time. Good luck
yeah you do have to be cautious with the trading of substances.
"Stop compare". YEP dude! Someday you'll find out this (SHOULD) apply to ABSOLUTELY everything in life...
Cheers!
This guy is the man
Day 7 now and I think my symptoms have peaked. The biggest benefit so far has been from me getting more rem sleep. I’m feeling more grounded and rested today than I have in idk how long.
This is your best work on cannabis IMO your videos are helping solidify the reasons needed to quit after smoking near constantly from 14-24 years old. Thank you! I have a couple questions though; is CHS the symptoms you get when stopping smoking or something that happens while smoking excessively? Also; what certifications are out there and what would you recommend for substance abuse treatment?
Biggest issue I had was really really struggling for the first 3 days then finding it easy, then after 2 or 3 weeks telling myself quitting was easy I don’t know why I made a big deal of it in fact! I’m going to buy some more because I know I can stop again easy then years later still doing it.
The only problem I have right now is I always dream anytime I sleep . Even at a quick nap , I must dream😭. This is my 2nd month . I’m good and I don’t have any symptom except always dreaming .
Same and they make no sense.
This is my problem too, the horrible nightmares 😢
So when you smoke weed your body stops going into rem sleep.
In this rem sleep is when you actually dream.
So if you for example smoke regularly your body will not go into rem sleep until you quit.
Although now that you quit your body is trying to catch up with all the rem sleep it has lost.
Hence the dreams.
My favorite thing about quitting smoking weed is when you smoke again you get so much higher
Mistake #1: buying more weed.
I would agree.
the sound of the paper is so anoing! Great video, thanks
3 days in and this gotta be top ten most difficult things I’ve ever been through 💯
Day 9 Night 9 Rebirth after Labor Day 2023, social anxiety and confidence is so much better along with my speech and communication. I feel my verbal word library isn’t as limited I’m not stuttering and loss for words as much
