This is the hardest challenge I’ve ever gone through. Quitting weed is a nightmare for some.
Word.
Agreed.
Bro i just wanna tell you, quitting weed was genuinely the hardest thing ive ever been thru, the constant crying and panic attacks for no reason and puking, was the most dreadful thing ever. BUT I HAVE GOOD NEWS !!! IM 13 DAYS CLEAN AND I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW, IT DOES GET BETTER!!! I FEEL NORMAL!!!!! NO MORE WITHDRAWALLLL❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ YALL WILL MAKE IT, AS LONG AS TIME PASSES.
Let’s go guys I’m up for this challenge, I wish I can afford your program doc
It is very difficult for most , I read alot of comments , I'm 81 days today . & I have struggled..quit caffeine same day. ,. Mostly because I feared insomnia,.. & It helped im sure although I did still struggle w/ sleeping for almost 2 months . Now I am much better sleeper. Irritability & anger were a real problem as well as being kind of a lost soul @ times , I work on myself everyday .. you have to work @ it like Dr. Frank says in an excellent video it takes practice being sober . 1st you gotta want it bad. discipline yourself YOU CAN DO IT dont give up. . best wishes good luck .
Day 2 super hard but worth it for my daughter
Same for me man keep it up, we can do this🎉
@@austinholt1535 and FOR YOURSELF and health as well, You’ll thank yourself on day 15-30, im on day 13th and i feel so much better the first like 7 days for me was constant crying and anxiety attacks sweating tired dizzy , i ended up in the hospital for petes sake💀 But i just want you to know I feel amazing now, no more withdrawal!❤️🙏🏼 Just keep waiting, you’re gonna feel amazing soon🙏🏼❤️❤️
@@Icegaze039you got this dude! Calm seas don’t make a skilled sailor. We gotta weather the storm to see the sun
Keep it up bro trust me your life will get better so much bro I’m doing this with you let’s get it
@@austinholt1535for real let’s get it we can do it
This is Day 1 for me… And I’m already annoyed. 😒
But challenge accepted.
Trying to do better for myself.
1st week is the hardest I’m now 5 weeks off might seem impossible at the start just don’t think about just keep pushing
@@jasiahjackson4555 thank you bro.
It’s gonna be hard and I know it is.
@@Tjonnnn try and speak to a girl or something that’s what helped me cos ik I won’t be my same self if I tried speaking to them
Not half annoyed when or if you give up on trying ❤
on day 4 and i finally fell asleep for the first time last night longest ive gone without it for around 4 years and only thing keeping me going is knowing the longterm benifits
Sleeps better without it
I smoked weed for 17 years and I have been clean for two and a half months and I'm feeling absolutely great but I wanna say the worst withdrawal symptom is brain fog by far, it's day after day after day. Free from it now though.
trust me brother you are changing our mindset your videos are more addicted now then weed may god bless you❤
I'm on day 10 and today's been a bitch but I will get through this!
Same here, day 10. We got this!! 💪🏼
If they are on druggs and seeing things. Then that's wrong the saying I heard the eyes never lie
Hey man. I was sober for 5 months and fell back into it. Any wise words? I feel like stage 7 is what I am in, but I do feel guilty about it still so maybe it is a relapse?
The wagon is always there, waiting for you to hop back on. No matter how many times one falls off. You can do it. 👊
Whatever is happening, good or bad, keep watching this guy's videos. Seriously helps with anyghing, especially staying On sober track and starting brand new life after abuse!
#BetterBeBored
I'm 4 years nicotine free. 16 months Alcohol free. 1 day weed free. Here we go! Your videos helps a lot! Also listened to Dr Lembke book it's must read if you struggle with addiction
24 days sober - reaching the 30 day mark, next goal is 45 days, then 60 days! On the way to the rest of my life sober 🎉😊
I’m on stage or day 24 still get some headaches but god, gym and taking care of yourself is key 🗝️🙏
5 weeks but after starting and stopping previously! I just finally closed the door .. no cravings or anything.. I had an awakening!? I think ❤no matter what happens I’m not starting that relationship again 🤩
Stage 5 for me I've been off weed since August 4th so almost two months and I feel pretty great! I get so much more done especially since I started working with the high performance planner - and not in a "productivity junky" way, just in a basic day-to-day responsibilities getting done and actually doing hobbies that I might have been too stoned to pursue before. The only real drawback is that it made music way more enjoyable and I haven't really been listening to nearly as much music as before. But that's okay! I'm listening to podcasts, reading, watching educational videos, etc. I also think my anxiety meds are helping and it's definitely nice that I'm not having cannabis anxiety. Also quit alcohol though I had no dependency AND caffeine which I definitely did and the early withdrawals were BRUTAL but I'm working through it.
So I’ve “quit” before for like 300 days.
I’ve been abusing marijuana again since then for about 2 years again.
Tonight is my last night smoking cannabis.
Tomorrow morning I start a brand new job and start a sober journey. You’re the MAN Dr. Frank!
I’ve been following you way since before you had your baby and everything I love you man. You’re doing God’s work 👑💯🔥🙏
Day 5 here. It's unbelievable how a shift in mindset can help fend off some of the withdrawal symptoms, especially cravings and boredom. When I've tried to quit in the past I've always given myself a way out, or a set # of days after which I can "reward" myself. I've simply stopped viewing cannabis as a reward and thus have a much easier time coping with cravings. Anytime I feel bored or discontent I remember your advice; that boredom is free time that I've gained back by quitting weed, that otherwise would have been wasted on weed. My biggest difficulties so far are insomnia and a real lack of endurance, I can't cycle nearly as far without getting winded or feeling nauseous and I actually vomited yesterday while pushing myself up a steep hill. I was already very active before quitting and plan to fill some of my new free time with more exercise, so I really hope these physical symptoms subside soon.
Day 8 with no weed.
Woke up with bad nausea. 1:29am
However, my sleep is... ok?
Sweating a swimming pool.
Im eating more.
Yesterday was weird bc my hands were shaking.
Im going to start workouts on monday.
OVERALL, im heading in the right direction.
I will say that ohio is legal now and that's how i fell back into it.
49 days in. No looking back. ❌❌
❤
I want to take a moment to thank you as I’m watching your videos again. I quit drinking alcohol 1 year and 4 months ago and quit smoking weed 1 year 1 month ago, and your videos really helped me trough the first days and weeks which were the hardest, you were always very understanding, had a lot of empathy and loving kindness but also gave me a sense of strength and calm by explaining what was happening to me during my process, my life is so much happier and healthier thanks to that, so thank you, thank you very much for helping me 🙏🏼❤️. Now I’m watching your videos because I remembered you said something happened after a year of sobriety and want to recall what was it 😅.
I hit stage five about two months ago but I failed and I went back to stage two after about a month or so of not smoking. I know there is no value in it. I don’t know why I stay smoking or what keeps me coming back, but like I said intellectually there is no positive or benefit. Same with adult content. Please pray for me in the name of Jesus.
Praying for you my friend
I'm trying to quit sugar too and often it seems more difficult than quitting weed. 😅
I'm 17 days Free from weed and I don't know what stage this is but I been tired and extra hungry. I thought weed made me hungry but it was killing my appetite. I been going to the gym and I sleep better now. My sleep is not cloudy anymore. I haven't had any urges to smoke. The first two days I couldn't eat but now I'm always ready to grub. I also noticed that weed makes you go to bed before your body wants to and that was unhealthy to me. Now I actually get tired naturally and sleep way better. I'm glad I made the decision to stop. Everything gets better by the day And not spending that 300 a month I was spending is all the motivation I need to never smoke again. I don't feel a relapse is possible at this point.
This is false, everyone needs a vice. It is impossible to live a life without any vices at all, I have never came across someone who doesn't consume at least one substance. That is the reason why quitting has such a low success rate
You do you mean.. good luck ❤
Coming up to 4 weeks of stopping high THC concentrate edibles, I was consuming up to 500mg's via gummies on my last day of using, obviously very high tolernance, my first 2 weeks were tough with all symptoms, still feel like I have am not completely THC free at week 4 which seems longer then normal, but maybe high concentrate is taking long to leave my body
I've now been sober from weed cigarettes alcohol and pills now for 147 days and counting let's get it people.
Your stronger than your addiction remember it needs you more than you need it don't fan the flames
5 months an 6 days no weed/ vapes,,smoked daily for 35 years ugh,,quit smoking cigarettes 25 years ago an will be 2 years no alcohol,,it can be done ,quitting is easy living a sober life is the challenge,,I figure I spent the first half of my life with some substance in my body ,now I will spend the next half with no substance 🙏
Im maintenance stage, on day 3 no marijuana nor alcohol. Im rarely thirsty or hungry. My appetite comes and goes but I'm happy to be standing firm in my decision. I don't like the feelings smoking/drinking gives me anymore. Started at 16, now done at 29.
I'm in stage 5. A little over a month off weed. I still have minor cravings and it does still seem like weed could enhance my life in certain situations. However not smoking has had tremendous benefit. I hope i get to the place your at where there's no longer appeal. Thank you so much for all the help. Good luck y'all
What's the best benefit?
I quit for 61 days last jan and feb and then relapsed pretty hard, slowly but surely falling into the same old patterns and back into full addiction mode, I am in day 3 right now of an action plan to quit again, summertime camping got me smoking so much again. I am very irritated today and not feeling great but looking forward to feeling better in the morning and having my dreams come back. Happy your still putting out content.
Day 3 clean after smoking 2 years. Started smoking at 15
Day 2 but its so hard , cant sleep cant eat , my problem with marijuana is the money i spent i already have high anxiety so im gettin ready for when its come time to relapse , much love from Malta doc thankyou
Almost 5 months clean from weed man I HATE WEED!
Hi Dr. Frank, could you perhaps do a video on social media/dopamine addiction?
Everything was great but stage 7 is a big no no. This gives everyone who is trying to quit a chance to go back to the same cycle
Stage 5 currently. Cut down drastically over the last week and am planning to be done with it tomorrow when I have intake for a recovery program. The withdrawals have been nasty, but I'm happy by body is doing its thing. I don't even want to smoke anymore, just consuming minimally to curb some of the withdrawals.
I quit weed, nicotine, and pmo all at the same time. I’m 4 days in now and I’m STRUGGLING lol
Stay strong. Will be worth it
5 days..
Think of all the negatives of smoking. Health finance family etc It gets easier
Great video, thanks for all the advice
I'm trying to stop hasn't went well so far 😢 when I have weed I now feel stupid for buying more so I smoke it as faster than I would normally so the weeds gone then I'll make it a day maybe 2 then I'm back buying weed and feeling stupid and have been stuck in that cycle for about a month now
Dude I've done this so many times. Ya gotta get through the first 5-7 days and you'll have a breakthrough I promise. The first few days really suck
I'm at whatever stage is where I'm psychoanalyzing my own habits and feelings around the weed and trying to replace it with healthier habits.
For instance I realized the other day at the gym that after I plank I get that pain in my abdomen and then a quick high afterwards so I equated that to the high I get when I inhale the biggest self harming puffs and get lightheaded to the pain and high of the plank
I did manage to quit for a month and a half and then relapsed back onto my bullshit
Let’s stop smoking let’s get disciplined focused and on another level. Let’s get fly smell good dress good elevate our mind frames. Let’s be different when we are in the room.
100% brother! Discipline is at an all time low. EVERYONE is always constantly giving into pleasure and short term gratification. Let’s stand out with discipline and success
Lil typo in the thumbnail.
I’m on Day 3 quitting weed after 17 years of using, I quit many times before and was successful for about 3 months before I was diagnosed with a chronic pain illness that led me to relapse, so here I am again and I’m determined to be successful this time
Day 6 sober, I was a little irritated at first, but I think I'm past most of it. I quit for a job that requires a drug test before hiring and random testing while employed. I've been working out 1-2 hours a day, and drinking a lot of water, I feel this has helped with the withdrawals, as I haven't really been feeling any. Making the water into tea helps me drink it more easily too (no sugar added to the tea)
I've been smoking for roughly 13 years, first time quitting. If I can do this, you can too!! Make the jump, a better version of yourself awaits
Quit weed for a month. Went through the worst withdrawals from me being in the prodromal phase of CHS. I went right back to it daily again. I’m on day 3, no cannabis. Feeling better again! I’m not going back to it. It’s keeping me from living my life the way I want.
Smoked weed every day from age 16 - 31. Just hit day 40 of quitting and never been happier. Great vid
almost 4 months weed free , my second day without nicotine , thank you for sharing this video.
I'm 45yrs old. Pot smoker for 30yrs! 2 days clean. My best tip.. Do strength training, eat healthy food, drink water, take your vitamins and every day it will be beter.. Trust the process!
I definitely agree with everything he says. 12 year smoker all day every day. I found it easier to quit by quitting tobacco first. and changing my routine. Just remember folks as rob Schneider famously said. "YOU CAN DO IT!!"
I love you dude!!! You have helped me so much. I hope u r doing amazing.
I am 3 weeks off weed today. Hardly want it at all. And it’s in front of me 24/7. My life has gotten so much better. The #1 thing I have noticed is my confidence is through the roof.
I went a long time not talking to girls and doubting myself and lowkey hating myself,,, since quitting weed I do not give a FUCKKK,,, I will talk to anybody idc. I am so happy with who I am now I am scared to smoke weed again tbh!
Thank u my bro ❤
I’m in the “relapse stage”.
With nicotine and green.
Also with drinking.
I am not a moderate person by any means, and I’m tired of trying to force myself to be.
Your content has inspired me more than any other addiction POV has.
I am debating hard on doing the sober October challenge -
With the gum.
Most likely going to do this,
And sign up for the 27$ skool community.
Keep me in prayers guys,
I know we can conquer this.
Can you make a video specifically on quitting edible marijuana? I used to smoke daily but i started feeling really physically shitty (coughing, pain in lungs), so I quit cold turkey and actually didnt find it that hard (10 months going strong)
But still using edible marijuana multiple times a week. Its just too easy, and gives me no physically painful symptoms. How can i psychologically make it as easy to quit edibles as it was to quit smoking?
I’m on day 55, so I guess I’m at stage 4 (action). I’m still craving cannabis, but it’s less intense. I mostly stopped because I need to reduce my anxiety and it’s helping. It took a while to feel the effects of quitting, but I’m starting to feel different (better). I don’t think I’m at the maintenance step, yet, but it feels within reach ✌🏼
I'm at 3 weeks today and I'm still suffering. Symptoms are hot,cold flashes, anxiety and crying spells. Gastrointestinal issues and depression. Funny how some people say it's not addictive 😐 regardless I'm pushing thru because the end result is worth. My third time quitting in 25 years😢
I forgot to mention weird, wild and scary dreams
I’m on day 10, same symptoms that you’ve described. You are not alone, keep it up 🙏🏼♥️
It's addictive as f dnt go bk
@@jvb7164 We got this💪
Been using pods for 4 years, god bless you, im stopping, i can feel the -10 hp
Your videos got me past the contemplation phase. You're the best man! Second day sober in years atm 🎉
It is addictive! Your playing with fire!
Stage 6; 97 days in, and feel absolutely amazing!
2 months sober and I don't even care about it anymore don't want anything to do with it ever again.
Hey man or anyone I hope someone responds any advice welcome. I quit weed 7 months ago 7 full months after 6 years smoking everyday. I am visiting a friend in mid Oct. in Colorado. I’m sure as you have figured I’d like to smoke some being in a legal state for the first time, and smoke with friends I used to smoke with all the time. After 2 days I’d come home and not smoke again. My hesitation: I’ve made a lot of good changes but still struggle with food addiction, although I’ve lost 15 lbs then gained back 5 since quitting. Also been in the gym a lot. I really want to smoke with my friends but something just feels off about it idk I can’t put my finger on it. I want to feel the warm embrace of thc as we watch some tv show game catch up, and enjoy nature. But I feel like maybe I can do more trails if I don’t smoke, and worries I’ll be isolating from my friends. Any advice welcome
Don't mentally relapse.
Stay committed to your gut feeling.
im good at quitting I quit all the time
Very informative. Thanks for this!
Just staring the nightmare
Over two months in, thanks to you.
i need help from relapse guys
keep on keepin on
Keep it up, doc
BIG thanks to the many folks here that have graciously shared their stories! On day 43/stage 5 and finally able to give back 🙏
Reaching today has been a hard-fought - but winning - battle. Every single pain of the body and heart that led me to pick up herb in the first place are still there loud and clear, but are now ACTUALLY being processed and untangled instead of kicked down the road or put on ice. It's still often profoundly hard as hell and uncomfy without my fav crutch, but the deep-down growth and repair I'm feeling as time marches on is undeniable and keeps me going day by day. Only way to the top is through the cold dark nights on the side of Mt. Everest. Just keep going ❤🩹
Statge 4🫣fear is it..
Im almost a month free and i feel so good. I love that i dream again and my sleep quality has improved so much. I would say im at Stage 5. not gonna lie im afraid of relapse but i stay positive and strong 💪🏻🩵
lets go into sober october y‘all 🎉 you can make it 🙏🏻💖
Excellent ❤
@@Yourdadsellsavon Thank you 🙏🏻
@doroehr678 very welcome 🙏
