I’ve been smoking for 10 years . I feel like ive lost joy in things . Im tired or rather do nothing all day . No motivation No goal . I dont even feel high anymore tbh . Ima try too quit . Today will be my first day. I will continue logging each day i am successful here.
So motivating.. i've been smoking for aprox. 5 years now. I used to smoke 25grams a week. So everyday like 6-7 joints. I want to quit but it's so damn hard.. i feel very motivated when I'm stoned and when I get sober I start to stress and I don't do anything
Thanks for waiting for the late response mate. It may be the hardest thing you ever do. I think weaning off slowly is a good strategy. Check out this vid, it gives a strategy on how to do so: ua-cam.com/video/bOebCEiZZKY/v-deo.html
I Quit smoking weed and nicotine at the beginning of this fall at 19yo. The first two months were so hard between cravings , shit sleep and yes suicidal thoughts . I was always an anxious kid and it definitely stemmed from weed and nicotine as I feel 20x less stressed than when I was smoking and vaping everyday . Now that I’m sober I feel so much more motivated and been hitting the gym 4-5 days a week before my 12 hour shifts which I believe I never would have been able to without quitting. if you’re reading this take this as a sign to quit because a comment just like this led me to quit months ago and I’m grateful for it .
Thank you. You have been helpful. It came to the point, I wasn't even smoking to get high anymore,, but to escape pain of life's losses. I didn't realize this till I stopped burning. Today got a little rough but didn't run to the dispenser, held my ground and the feeling passed.
You're welcome, huge props for saying no to the dro today. Those little wins add up. I was using weed to escape too. It's a tough place to be in, however redemption is possible. Keep it up Tim and thanks for sharing
@@SobrietyUniversity coming up on 2 months now with no weed , eating and sleeping good , working hard , things in my life are more prosperous, more responsibility. Things have grown fast as was promised to me . Once in a while I can smell skunk bud but it's not around me , it's just mind games. Than you guys you have been and still a big help. Much love every body
Just turned 18 and over a week clean. I started so young and I feel my brain is just mush. I hardly remember the last 5 years of my life. Got a job as soon as I could just to fuel my addictions. I thought i couldn’t function without it but I realized it was stopping me from living up to my full potential. I gave up on perusing all the things I wanted to achieve. I couldn’t be myself, even when I was alone i would overthink. 1 week in I feel so much better it’s been hard eating, getting to sleep, and addressing the feelings that drove me to smoke every day. In the long run I know it will pay off. Here’s to life, for me it’s just beginning.
Congrats bro! That’s an incredible story. The fact that you started young but that you quit young is a huge opportunity. Great you’re feeling better and motivated for a bright future ahead
2 weeks in quitting from a 13 year smoke up, lost my dad 5 months ago and thought I’d got through it but today I had to deal with it all over again, nearly smoked till I found your vids! I hope this passes soon, really got to deal with this now and not just smoke it away!
Sorry to hear about your dad, Liam. I can't imagine what that'd be like and it's great you're beginning to deal with it head on instead of suppressing it with weed. Keep in touch and reach out anytime
This is gonna be my last time checking in with my days in. But I'm 90+ days without smoking weed. I had my hardest day maybe... 10 days ago. But I worked through it and after working through it I swear every desire to smoke truly left me. I thought that maybe I would hit some weed on my 90th day to see if I still wanted to be weedless, but my streak was way more important to me than I thought. I will reassess after a year. I appreciate your vids, hope you're doing well!
Thanks for sharing man, congrats on 90+ days. That's fantastic. I would like to invite you to the private community. We're going to be doing weekly calls and lots of different content. Would be great to have you. If you're interested and have any questions, lmk sobrietyuniversity.com/community/
Hey man appreciate your videos. I’m 24 and started smoking when I was 12, daily by 15. I was even in the cannabis industry for work so I could smoke all day every day 20 times a day with top potency flower and concentrates(I’m from cali). I’m on day 30 today sober from weed. I’ve been drinking a little more than usual to take the edge off at night time especially since everyone around me is still smoking weed.(family and best friends) but I know it’s for the better for both my mental and physical health. I complete understand what you mean when you say it stints your growth, sometimes I can’t believe im in my mid 20s already and feel like I’m still 18, but I know things will change the longer I stay clean off it. Hope you’re doing well. -Nick
Thank you man. Thanks for sharing. I imagine that wasn’t easy quitting weed working in the industry. Props to ya. If I had top shelf no way I would have quit. Good your recognizing the drinking has increased, something to keep an eye on. They say in the community that you revert back to when you started using so there’s usually a bit of catch up for a while. Congrats on a month man, keep it up and stay in touch.
I quit 15 years ago after 25 years of heavy use.. just sad it took me that long to quit.. you just have to want to.. you get irritability, and insomnia for awhile.. but once you detox and the fog lifts off your brain.. it’s great.. I tried a few hits at a friend’s house years ago and everything in me rejected it. It wasn’t enjoyable at all.. haven’t looked back. I wouldn’t smoke it if you paid me now
I love your videos man. I personally never got hooked into weed so I can enjoy the occasional high when the stars align, but I know people who've built their personality around it and it's hard to relate to them.
Thank you, I really appreciate it. Really respect your mindset around it. A lot of people aren’t able to see both sides of things and you see in the comments sometimes so it’s nice meeting someone with your open mindedness
Sometimes it just isn't compatible with a new lifestyle, I am a casual user but when I was working manual labor I stopped completely because I was working with machinery and I needed to be fully alert when using said machinery. If theres problems its probably good a to listen
Same here. I recovered from alcohol and never viewed weed as a problem but I found that my alcohol recovery depends on my usefulness to others and when I smoke I would be to in my head to much to even hold a conversation. I had smoked for so long I had become an introvert, I thought that was just how I was but then I remembered I was pretty social before I started and found more joy in life so I started to cut back and eventually found that I didn't like being high anymore and prefer to be social and able to listen to others. Life is so much better now being clean and sober.
I’m 27 now. I smoked for like 2.5 years on a daily basis and past few months my anxiety got worse and I was not gaining anything in life. Stopped meeting my old friends, stopped making new friends, stopped doing my hobbies and affected my work. What happened is I became more determined than ever to get rid of my anxiety and for that I was like I’m ready to give up weed for life! It has to come from within and then you’ll quit weed for good. Someone’s telling you to quit but you’re not feeling it yourself then it’s difficult to quit.
13 days clean finally sleeping but dreams are hella weird.. those first 10 days were pretty rough to say the least but it will be worth it if and when i land a good job
For a sec I thought you were the professional food eater Randy Santel. Way to stay optimistic, that’s gonna take you far. I still have word dreams at times today, just means I’m processing through something important.
I love it but CHS was killing me. Started when I was 13 I'm 38 and been clean for a month. I feel so much better without addiction. My mood is better, my sleeping pattern has improved quite a lot I feel like I really rest and have dreams. The first week was very tough but chicken broth and Advil made it a lot easier.
I've been struggling to quit for a long time now. Mostly from the cost!! My problem is I have smoked every day of my life since I was 16, now 49!! My whole life weed has been there.. I can't just 'quit' something I've done my entire life. I will say 'okay, this is my last bag'.. That WILL be the shittiest bag of weed EVER and my 'goodbye' is a FAIL. I don't get high, smoke it in 3 days and go buy another to 'quit on Monday'...
I smoked weed for 19 years. Biggest con was i lost my girlfriend cos i wouldnt quit. I also had to stop hanging out with my stoner friends. I know if i have even one or two drags I'm screwed. Biggest pro is my mood is much better i feel good and enjoy my life most of the time. Towards the end of my smoking days id be chasing my dealers every few days and sometime they wouldnt have any or were too busy to meet me it drove me crazy. I was also waking and baking towards the end at like 7.30am before going to work it was ruining me. Ive been clean 8 years.
Awesome Gary. I imagine it feels almost like a different life. I would rip bongs from sun up to sun down everyday, it was an exist I never want to go back to. Come on the podcast if you ever want to share your story
You are 5x more likely to have a heart attack in the first hour after smoking. 5x. Is it worth taking the risk? That one fact got me off smoking and on to edibles. Those were much easier to gradually taper off to now being non existent in my daily routine. 5x. Think on that.
25 years of daily abuse bonging an eighth to a gram a day. I have stopped on vacation but never wanted to quit. I got covid slept two days woke up clean stayed that way three months. That was a year ago. Thought I could control it. No my body wants it so I have to not allow it. Yesterday was just smoke empty carts to try and stop the pains. Took them out a bit but not all the way. Have not smoked anything today. I find this is the key. Your voice will be telling you all the ways you can get it. You just have to keep telling your voice no.
Talk to him about it. Ask him what will happen if he doesn’t smoke? Make him realize he’d have less anxiety and less brain fog and also he’ll be less lazy automatically when he quits smoking! You can do your part by making him realize the benefits of quitting weed instead of nagging him to quit. He can also be inspired from other people who quit weed after years of use when they finally realize the anxiety is worsening. Once his inner voice tells him to quit, he’ll not only quit weed but never go back to weed again. Sending you strength!😊
So otherwise this guy is now addicted to conquering his addictions...the irony....ive wuit many thing that were bad for me...marijuana is not one of them...ive smoked for 20 years. And the only negative in have found is that it can be expensive at times
I am on my 3rd day of giving up weed and cigerettes and am starting to find it very difficult my biggest issue is i dont really want to give up i have smoked weed for about 20 years now and have never had any real problems but i have recently been diognosed with COPD and have been told to give up if i want to live more than 10 more years i do see the sense in giving up and will give it 100% effort but am starting to find it more difficult each day my biggest issue is i am on holiday this week and am finding it difficult to keep myself entertained.
Thanks for sharing man. You’re in the thick of it. Be strong, be tough for a couple more weeks and things will start to level out. That’s something I want to get better at, learning how to be okay not entertained or stimulated
I was smoking weed for 4 years, I loved weed so much but I just realised how bad it was affecting me, I was a very hard worker guy very popular with friends always doing things going places I had a nadie ripped body. But my friend introduced me to weed because I was always stressing, and I got so addicted I did it every single day, I also became addicted to porn and masturbation when smoking, if I didn’t smoke I could have sex or masturbate at all. I started isolating I stopped talking to friends, I started feeling depressed, sad, anxious, heart palpitations, I stopped showering, taking care of myselfC, I gain so much weight, I got 10 jobs in one year and I quit all of them to smoke left without notice. I was so bad I slept more the 15 hrs everyday, I felt so lazy I just wanted to be in my room smoking jacking off and sleeping. I started hating everyone, until I said no more, it’s been a week and a half and I feel horrible but I don’t want to smoke again. I just don’t get it my friend smoke for years and they’re ok they’re motivated they workout they work, I asked them and they told me they’re fine. How come I got so bad to me Also people told me I used to speak so slow and always looked sleepy or lazy. And I didn’t feel that way but hey told me that’s how I looked to them. I miss weed but idk why affects me so much :/
I hear you man. Weed affects everyone a bit differently. A lot of my old friends can still smoke, go to work, hold down jobs and relationships etc. Having an addictive personality, it doesn’t work that way for me. I went into isolation as well and lost motivation to take care of myself. I had to learn to accept I am a better person without weed.

Smoked weed for the last 27 years, I'm 45 years old and have been off the weed for 3 weeks now. Feel more alert but my god I'm so bored.
Congrats on 3 weeks man. I hear you, experienced that too. Had to find some fun hobbies and things that bring joy besides weed

First day after smoking 6 years Feb 7 , 2023
Remember today, you got this brother
Go you!! Take it day by day. You are strong.
Dont be hard on yourself.
Lift yourself up during this hard time
I quit 15 years ago after 25 years of heavy use.. just sad it took me that long to quit.. you just have to want to.. you get irritability, and insomnia for awhile.. but once you detox and the fog lifts off your brain.. it’s great.. I tried a few hits at a friend’s house years ago and everything in me rejected it. It wasn’t enjoyable at all.. haven’t looked back. I wouldn’t smoke it if you paid me now
First video I’ve seen that actually says there are cons to quitting, kudos to you for actually telling the truth about both sides
musicians and drugs. one of my favorite things to be stoned working on tunes.
Thank you brother. I like your vibe and I really relate to your story.
I lost friends when I smoked weed and lost friends when I quit smoking
The cycle brother. As long as you didn’t lose yourself
I love your videos man. I personally never got hooked into weed so I can enjoy the occasional high when the stars align, but I know people who've built their personality around it and it's hard to relate to them.
Thank you, I really appreciate it. Really respect your mindset around it. A lot of people aren’t able to see both sides of things and you see in the comments sometimes so it’s nice meeting someone with your open mindedness

Im more relaxed now. Weed had me in my head all day. I would smoke all day every day. It gave me alot of anxiety.
That’s great to hear. A lot of folks experience that, it’s fun at first until it isn’t.

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Congrats on choosing to begin making this change in your life
Same Brodie first day tmr.
I quitted 3 Months ago, best decisión ever
Congrats, hears to healthy lungs and healthy teeth
You are the man
🙏🏽
Pro’s: Endlessss
Con’s: none at all lmao
Thank you so much for this!
You’re welcome!
It's a bit harder when you're still very active and motivated even when smoking.
Yes, that definitely makes it more challenging. The toughest addictions to break are the ones that people can still function with
I'm clean 10 days off rn, healing from an injury and don't want this to addiction to slow me down
Great motivation@@StuntTriple. Congrats on 10 days, keep it rolling brotha
I love it but CHS was killing me. Started when I was 13 I'm 38 and been clean for a month. I feel so much better without addiction. My mood is better, my sleeping pattern has improved quite a lot I feel like I really rest and have dreams. The first week was very tough but chicken broth and Advil made it a lot easier.
congrats man. That's great and it DOES get better. Thanks for sharing tips on reducing symptoms
Hey bro i really try stope but I feel I did a whole six months and still failure
It sounds like there’s some inner unresolved things that you will need to address
Do you drink tho?
No, quit about a month before stopping weed
i can hear you fine but the music is a tad too loud
Day 3 for me after 27 years of daily smoking. So far so good 💪. Boredom sucks though lol
Haha even after almost 7 years clean, boredom is still one of the most painful emotions. Congrats on day 3 👊🏽
Good job. I'm starting day 1 today and a little nervous but I'm motivated to give it a good go.

Amen Nolan. Great you’re back on the path. I found doing recovery work and turning the cravings over to the universe to be a big game changer
I hope my boyfriend could stop using it. 😢
Dealing with loved ones who are in addiction is often the hardest. Stay strong

I was smoking weed for 4 years, I loved weed so much but I just realised how bad it was affecting me, I was a very hard worker guy very popular with friends always doing things going places I had a nadie ripped body.
But my friend introduced me to weed because I was always stressing, and I got so addicted I did it every single day, I also became addicted to porn and masturbation when smoking, if I didn’t smoke I could have sex or masturbate at all.
I started isolating I stopped talking to friends, I started feeling depressed, sad, anxious, heart palpitations, I stopped showering, taking care of myselfC, I gain so much weight, I got 10 jobs in one year and I quit all of them to smoke left without notice.
I was so bad I slept more the 15 hrs everyday, I felt so lazy I just wanted to be in my room smoking jacking off and sleeping.
I started hating everyone, until I said no more, it’s been a week and a half and I feel horrible but I don’t want to smoke again.
I just don’t get it my friend smoke for years and they’re ok they’re motivated they workout they work, I asked them and they told me they’re fine. How come I got so bad to me
Also people told me I used to speak so slow and always looked sleepy or lazy.
And I didn’t feel that way but hey told me that’s how I looked to them.
I miss weed but idk why affects me so much :/
I hear you man. Weed affects everyone a bit differently. A lot of my old friends can still smoke, go to work, hold down jobs and relationships etc. Having an addictive personality, it doesn’t work that way for me. I went into isolation as well and lost motivation to take care of myself. I had to learn to accept I am a better person without weed.
