I’m 35 days no weed. Tough but your right , the journey is hard , I have to stay clean in order to challenge myself with life. Been smoking for 20 years . Toughest thing ever.
You got it 💪🙏
Only 8 days clean after nearly 2 years of being high constantly, I’m losing hope my depression has never been this bad. I don’t have any support, and definitely no one that understands. I’m trying to stay strong because I need my life to be better, but this is the hardest thing I’ve done.
its going to be hard and im struggling as well brother but you will forever regret it if you relapse and put yourself back in that cycle again.
I’ve smoked weed since I was in high school pretty much every day and I’m 33 now. I’ve stopped a few times for job purposes and legal reasons but right after that drug test I would light up again. Every time I was forced to stop I remember telling my friends this actually feels great my head is clearer im more social. Now I’m 33 years old and I just feel like I get nothing from weed. I have my life in complete control to. I go to the gym 5 days a week, daily sauna sessions I eat extremely healthy I make good money and I’m in a good relationship. So for me its almost as if I don’t have a reason to stop other than the fact it doesn’t do anything for me at this point in my life. Part of me wants to only smoke weed on the weekends exclusively at night but watching these videos makes me think cold turkey is the only way. Would love if you heard this comment and thanks for the great content!
Just give it time, addiction will affect all the things you value, just give it time. Health, job performance, relationships, you name it. Its not sustainable over the lifespan. From a 70 year old former drinker, smoker, pot head.
I’ve never read a more true comment.
I’m 41 years old and have been smoking weed for 22 years, daily.
As a teen I tried weed a few times and absolutely hated it because my head was spinning and it was such a scary situation to be in because you can’t just pull over or whatever. You have to go through it.
I met the love of my life at 18, she smoked a little and I was really annoyed by it. I know weed isn’t hard drugs but she just didn’t seem the type.
After some months, I ended up smoking a little weed with her.
It was shall we get a bit of weed, today? Maybe twice a week and getting high was great. Especially sec while high.
Before I knew it, I was smoking every day and it went from shall we get a small bit of weed, to I really need weed today and every day.
I’ve wanted to quit for years. I don’t spend as much as some but I generally spend £100 per month on weed and £40 on tobacco. That works out to about £1600 per year juat on weed. That absolutely blows my mind and really gets to me.
Right now I have a whole 3.5 of weed and I have 2.5 grams of some nice hash and I feel ok
But lastnight, I was so anxious because I didn’t have any and it’s like that all the time.
When I pick up I always am able to go till bedtime till I smoke but the very next day I’m back to normal.
Plus, where I hardly sleep. Maybe 2-3 hours per night, I get high more easily and I just sit here like a zombie.
I could have bought so much and done so much good with all the money I’ve wasted over the years.
And yes, it affected my work, friends , family etc
If I was set to go out at the weekend but I need weed, weed will come first.
I just wish I could stop smoking weed and go back to being HALF normal.
As a teen in the 90’s, I loved seeing friends, going out with them. Playing videogames , together and I never ever thought about weed.
As an adult, it was the same, up to about 20 years old. I got health problems and that kinda pushed me more towards weed. Like fuck it if my girls gonna smoke, I’m going through shit, why not smoke it away with her.
Now, I have this shit on my mind 24/7 and constantly craving weed.
I wish I could turn back time .
I don’t work and haven’t for many many years.
So to keep occupied at home, I have the following
Ps5
Sim racing setup
Nintendo switch
Now as a kid I’d have been excited to jump in, every day but I have no desire because I feel so trapped. And of course, after I get high, I just can’t be bothered.
And I really feel like the weakest loser on the planet. How on earth can I be addicted to weed? I love sim racing so much and it gives me way more pleasure then weed so I don’t know why I can’t just jump in my cockpit for few hours and say no to the weed and don’t even think about it.
Saying that, I’m kinda glad I smoke and NEED weed because, my mental state is so low and I’d be looking for something else, to ease my mind, if I didn’t smoke.
Helpful video! Smoking weed can destroy your whole life! It can give you a short time fun but actually it can damage you with your surroundings. Weed masks the problem for a time (while the user is high). When the "high" fades, the user may then turn to stronger drugs since weed no longer works. Quitting weed, is a decision that will bring about positive changes in various aspects of your life.👋❤
13 days sober! Made it through my bday yesterday without smoking and thats amazing to me
This is great to hear! Props on that big hurtle!
@@AddictionMindset thank man I don't plan on ever going back! I feel so much better already
Good job
@@qz2983 thanks I got 2 more birthdays this month to get through but I got it !
Happy belated birthday 🥳 Great job!!!
Thank you for everything you do Dr. Frank. You are truly an amazing person.
Dr frank thanks for all your help, I've been watching for about 1.5yrs and am only 2weeks into sobriety but I feel the best I've felt in a long time health wise. I agree quitting hasn't made me successful but its definitely going to be a huge catalyst toward my success as I have slowly been losing the brain fog while gaining time and money that I'm not spending on smoking etc
Very true I’ve met a lot of people that say they are medicating themselves for adhd ADD and it doesn’t actually help their concentration or functioning. But they feel more creative. Problem is the plans can never eventuate because they get too lazy
There are lots of different ways to define success. For someone struggling with addiction, quality of life improvements usually do occur when someone engages in abstinence.
Im on day 3 becouse of you! Thank for your information and support to us, God bless you.
Day 2 has just begun for me feel very anxious and weirdly scared and worried i can’t do it because it gives me happiness.
Thank you doctor
Bro I relapsed again day 1 sober second try… what day are you guys on ? Many blessings
Im not sure man, maybe a minority of drug users are successful, however the majority of people using drugs does inhibit success, happiness and health. I go by the majority not the minority. There will always be outliers but you don't make the rule based off the minority.
You don't make rules based on correlations at all
@@-whackd Someone skipped science class the day they went over the scientific method. Also math class when they talked about reading graphs. You most definitely do draw rules (conclusions) from correlations and patterns in the data.
His point is that quitting a substance won't magically change your life and give you the skills/opportunities that certain people have to become successful. It's state reset at best.
@@sp123 Yeah its not magic, because magic isnt real. Your life is better because you made a good decision thats a butterfly affect.
48 hours into no weed , getting harder and harder
I have a question regarding addiction. What is the real line between drug use and actual addiction.
I enjoy my weed and sometimes psychedelics. But I also take frequent breaks, and usually smoke at the end of the day about 4x a week.
I haven’t noticed any negatives in my life, no negatives in relationships, mental health, and overall wellbeing. I also still enjoy them and it’s not something I feel I absolutely have to have.
I’ve been using weed for going on 4 years, and while I reduce the negative effects with diet, excersise, suppliments, and overall staying healthy, I also don’t notice any true traditional signs of addiction. It just kinda gives me a break from my busy life and is always enjoyable, but never required.
So when would you know if you’re truly addicted?
I wish I could smoke 4x per week but it’s all or nothing for me! I’m no expert but if it’s not a problem it’s not a problem
I've smoked it since 14 I'm 38 now, I can't see any way to stop, there's no help no nothing, unless your a junkie or an alcoholic, I function normal got a really good job and family, got money got most things not in abundance but get by, it doesn't really effect my life in a functioning way, but health wise I really want to stop but can't it's part of my day to day life,,,,,,,,,,,,
How can we sustain the exchange of values without the insincerity of business
I went 12 days without liquor and just fken relapsed because of the never ending family bs and university stress. Idk how I’m gonna get out of this hole but I got to
Homie! Check out our skool group in the pinned comment if you need extra help! Also it’s a lapse, not relapse 😎
@@AddictionMindset I wish I could. But as a uni student I can’t spend 65 on that on a gamble that it’ll help. It’s ultimately up to me
Alcohol is just not an option, is what I told myself. I'm many years sober now.
Im in day 2 of quitting the reason i quit was i felt like i struggled more with school doing the substance and i was doing better without them and everytime i would wake up I would be sweating
Hey Dr. Ive asked about this before , I'm quitting weed again and again I'm having insane problems with my stomach. The only way I can describe it is that Two weeks into quitting again it seems my digestive system has shit down. That's the best way I can describe it. Nothing I do works and I constantly feel like I'm carrying around a bag full of food and nothing I do fixes it. This has been the reason Ive gone back to smoking because it instantly fixes the problem. And its the only thing that has made the problem better. It's literally severe like eating a huge thanksgiving dinner even when eating nothing at all any ideas?
question, how would you make the distinction between someone using weed regularly (frequently, multiple times a week) versus someone who you think may have an addiction? is it a matter of context of how their life is going, or is the frequency itself an issue?
Only video you need to post ngl
For me, stopping smoking and saving about 400E per month is a success
Don’t believe him
Just write down every time you buy weed
Add it up
no, it won't make you successful, and you will not regress either, if you don't moderate your use or don't depend on use for feeling a rush as a patch to injury or emotion instead of changing set and setting, then it's a different matter, context matters, and neither using or using drugs does not determine ones success, although the ones that are successful and moderately use WILL not necessarily be invulnerable to harms of it, you may never die by overdosing it on it or harming the organ by median lethal dose that is virtually nil, but it may pose other harms and consequences, but again, everyone is different, i won't label everyone under a particular category or move people between categories.
Drugs dont add or take away motivation
been 9 month off weed. still so much set backs. it hurts so much. but i stay strong. thank you Dr. Frank. very good video.
Stay strong bro 🙏
Brother if you made it that far keep going. I made it to 6 months one time and felt the healthiest I ever was in my life and I gave it all up and have regretted it ever since. On day 5 now. Please keep up the hard work. Your life will be so much better on the sober side!
@@19MadMax98same for me made it 6-8 times 3 months and one time 6 months. Went back into smoking and regret it so badly!!! I am on day 77 and feel like in hell (stress, anger)
3 days sober after 12 years of 98% THC dabs.
I’m DYING.
No sleep.
No food.
My ears are cold and my head is hot.
My body feels empty.
All of my best friend smokes.
My wife of 12 years smoke.
This is really hard.
One word of advice…buy an ice cold case of water 💦 it’ll be your best friend. Any time you need some I just pound an ice cold bottle of water to get my adrenaline rushing. Hope it helps.
Damn I thought I had it bad. Dabs are seriously no joke my friend
@@victorhardin2186 on my 14th day clean… 😎
Great insight! I looked at it rather than quitting weed, I was starting a new journey in life. If we just look at like we are losing something, we rob ourselves of discovering new opportunities.
4months clean after 10 years damn do I wanna smoke
Hang in there Sim 🙏
@@IEMedia thanks bro I needed that
Stay strong brother, you are not alone. Lets make something of our life's. 💪💯🔥
You made 4 months fuck bro nice i smoke 12 urs cant make week
Bro please keep up the hard work. I’ve made it to 6 months and gave up and have regretted it ever since. My life was so much better sober. Make it to 1 year; as the 1 year mark is where the real breakthrough comes. Weed has destroyed my life over the last 12 years.
It's been 45 days sober now, I always feel sleepy and always anxious, what i supposed to do?
Weed is only severely affects my memory, that's it.
Which could be an issue 😂but that’s your call. Thanks for supporting the content! I hope it helps
Its also affecting your dictation apparently
@@CokeheadClausedon’t be a didckhead English isn’t everyone ones first language
Could the habit be why people keep on going back again after they have quit smoking
Love the content my dude!
Hopefully I’m going to be able to invest in a subscription to your skool program!
What about creative uses for all the neural pathways formed while on street or psychiatric drugs?
