i just want to thank you for this vid bro 🙏🏽✊🏽 im only on day 5 after 15 years and it touched my soul man 💯💯💯 keep going!!! weve got this and we dont need anything to alter our minds to live our best lives. When you go thru things sober its making your mind body and soul even tougher 💪🏽💪🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
Ight y’all I ain’t gonna keep getting likes I did something. I started smoking after 2 weeks sober. Got zooted. I feel ashamed but im going to retry this. It’s all about trial and error. Let’s go !
I’m 38 and have smoked weed since I was 13.easily smoking at least 7 joints a day.I’m in my 4th day of going cold turkey from weed.the mood swings and night sweats are unbelievable.I needed to see this video today to keep me going through with my quitting.thank you.
Im 27 and for the Last 3 years believe it or not i smoked about 4g of weed à day. And i take huge bong hits so you get the drill. I stopped yesterday and i feel all of you guys.. the pain is there but you know what they say, suffer now feel good later
Same brother. I’m 32 years old smoked weed daily for about 10-15 years and I’m on day 6 of no weed. I’ve experienced the night sweats, vivid dreams, loss of appetite and dehydration.
Just wanted to update everyone that I completed 365 without weed. I’m currently working hard on the video but need to balance my time with my client work. I want this next drop to have that same level of production quality so I’m targeting this release soon!! 🦾
@@vickivee Andy, I made the choice to quit 2 days ago after using weed in various forms for probably 12 or 13 years. Since legalization in Canada, vapes and vape carts are available anytime. THREE shops opened within 2 blocks of my apartment. I needed some support and inspiration so I came to UA-cam to see what videos people had put up. Yours resonated so well with mine and your killer video production skills made it that much more intriguing. Very excited about the next vid. Thank you for making these and being so honest.
This is the biggest inspiration I've had hands down because everything resonates with me completely. I feel my creative energy slowly creeping away and my drive for things needed to be done rapidly depleting. Took the remaining buds and flushed them down the toilet 5 days ago . Yes! its a hard journey 'm embarking on and i know it'll worth it at the end. Good to know you're doing fine after 365
There is a holy GOD in Heaven, Who must punish sin, but He offers salvation in His Son Jesus Christ, Who died for the sin of the world, and is risen for our justification, He's risen in glory as both LORD and Messiah. turn from your sins and turn to the only true, and living, GOD.
@@inactiveuser555 lol no. The story of the Bible as far as god and heaven or hell contradicts its own morals. If Sending someone to immortal torment isn’t a sin then wtf even is a sin.
@@WhateverIOI I just wanted to say we basically got the same thing going, my boyfriend barely even drinks let alone smokes unless its special occasion/hanging with friends, I've been smoking daily since I was 16 for 7 years, being with him actually inspired me to quit more because I started to feel like kind of a bum. Even if we are just watching TV or movie I have to go smoke a bowl at some point, before I used to brush off that I smoked weed literally around the clock because not only did everyone around me do it to, I'm able to function (but that really is just a testament to your addiction if you're at the point that you're smoking constantly just to feel normal, not even high anymore)- but seeing how he is able to do literally everything from his shitty job to even fun things without weed, I started to question myself really why I couldn't do the same. Anyways, just thought that was interesting. I never really believed the whole "if you're trying to quit something you shouldn't be around others who are doing it" cause I always lied to myself that I would have the will power to stop. But it wasn't until moving in with my nearly entirely sober boyfriend I realized its true and I actually got the genuine want to quit. Starting cold turkey tonight, I hope your past 2 months have good and you're doing well 👍
I'm just over a year off weed - and I completely resonate with you, man! Weed can become a coping mechanism that holds us back. Anyone who wishes to change this habit can, I believe in you all
10 year addict..smoking 3x a day ,probably more ... 7 days sober now ... crying as I watch this video because I didnt think anyone on my level of addiction could do it ..the physical and mental pain is unreal . Your video gives me alot more hope and i definitely dont feel so alone in this anymore... thank you for sharing man .. Edit:(I'm clean now)💯💯
This video honestly made me very emotional. People always say that you can not get addicted to weed but that is completely false. I feel like I lost the last 10 years of my life to some useless plant and I can not do anything about that other than start looking forward for this next decade. Who else is starting off their 2023 with me, no nicotine, and no weed at all....
I plan on starting today, bro. I’m down bad with this weed. 🤦🏾♂ But I usually slip up. Even when I’m down bad & broke I end up getting free weed, offered from friends. Lol Lucifer be working double shifts. 😂
Thank you for making this video. I had my first joint at 13 and have been smoking weed daily ever since I was 15. I have known for years that it is blocking me creatively and spiritually, but I always told myself the same thing you did, 'I am my most creative when I'm high'. I was able to quit once for a month and my crippling anxiety disappeared, but I still felt so depressed, so in the end I picked it up again. But I am fed up with it. Today I am starting up my sober journey again, posting this comment to hold me accountable. This video really made me feel seen, everything you said I relate to. I hope you are doing well. Great video!!
Same. I’m in music/sound design and it’s so easy to look at all the rappers and producers who smoke during sessions. Just gotta realize it’s not the same for you if you have an addictive personality/ if your not in that successful position yet
@@LiveStockMarketOptions When I posted that comment I didn't manage to quit, but I made it a New years resolution and I am now a week sober. It's been pretty tough with the cravings, but I feel like this time it's gonna work out. I'm looking forward to being a few months sober!
Was smoking while watching this. I’m finishing off what I got and then it’s the start of my journey. Was just tapping in to see what I had to look forward to. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@hotcoldengineering324 obviously I'm not the op but I'm taking this journey too, and he's right, this doesn't go for absolutely everyone but when you've smoked daily for years, you become complacent, you become happy with the bare minimum, you stop striving to improve aspects of your life because its easier to sit down after a hard day of work, have a smoke and forget about the day, it became my stress reliever, my so called key to enjoy just the basic activities in my life, weed used to make things so fun for me I used to love doing everything high and I would do it well but somewhere down the line it started to take happiness away from me, I had to smoke just to feel normal, what weed gives you with one hand it takes away with the other further down the line. When you stop it's hard but after a couple of weeks you begin to enjoy simple pleasures in life like just going for a walk and appreciating your surroundings, and yes you will experience extreme boredom, at least for me that was a big factor of why I kept smoking because once I was bored I would fill that time with a joint and being high and happy doing nothing, we need to be bored in life and learn to be bored, because from boredom comes new ideas, you try things you wouldn't have done before because you are no longer getting high and actually have free time that isn't spent thinking about and doing all the things that revolve around smoking, you pick up old hobbies that you used to love when you were younger, you discover so much about yourself that you would not have found if you just spent the remainder of your days getting high, again this doesn't apply for everyone but I know I'm not where I am in life bacsuse it's easier to push things off and get high, it makes you ok with being where you are in life even when you know you're not where you're supposed to be
@@BasilBush420 What you wrote and the this video are Golden to me. Where are you in terms of days without THC? I did 30 days (after 25yrs of daily light/medium use) then relapsed with a gram of SuperLemonHaze, now i'm 7 days clear again...going hard for the 365. Nicotine with drawl also as I smoked joints (Marlborough + Skunk) + 1/2 pack per day.
@@daliaz6625 3 days in I realize weed been stopping my money motion to all my brothers going thru da same thing yall ain't alone I been smoking for 7 years past 3 days been da hardest but if you wanna be somewhere it takes a risk
@@doubless000 omg I'm sitting having a hard time dealing with this horrible craving and than boom 💥 this message pop out 🙏 thank you bcz my number 1 reason for stopping is I LOST MY MONEY MOTIVATION... THIS MESSAGE CAME FROM HEAVEN KEEP PUSHING WE CAN DO IT N WE WILL 💪
@@daliaz6625 Think of all the positives: The clear mind, normal thought processes, motivation to actually do things instead of just sitting around being high, less cravings for junk food, no weed-induced slobbery in general, WAY more money in the bank, waking up easier in the morning and having dreams again when you sleep. Being able to relate to mainstream (non-weed) people is a big one for me. Not smoking has made me socially-minded again instead of just a stoned recluse.
I gotta take a state licensing test for the second time since I failed the first time. My memory is not the same.... I'm nervous but it will be the beginning of my career ❤
I could remember several years ago I suffered from severe depression and mental disorder. I was addicted to illicit pills, alcohol, and smoking until I was recommended for psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against anxiety and depression.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I had the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Just relapsed after 6months but starting again today. Though I will admit I wasn't able to cope with my job well without it, I just realised when I was sober how much I absolutely hated my career. Currently trying to find a new career path and hopefully support my kids and partner again, Peace.
Six months is a real accomplishment. I too relapsed, but know this, you now know in a very internal way, that you were happier straight than held hostage by weed. You now know better, and that's the hope I found, even though I relapsed.
Andy idk if you'll ever see this, but thank you so much for making this video. I'm 24, 2 years out of college, been smoking since I was 16. It's at the point where just as you said, I haven't left the house and done something without smoking first in a VERY long time. I take a vape pen with me to work, I roll up before going to family member's houses, etc. but to cut to the chase these last 2 weeks have been the worst of my entire life. I feel like I've watched my life from the outside looking in. At times I can't control what comes out of my mouth, or at least I know what I want to say but can't find the words. I can't relay emotion, as a matter of fact I'm so emotionally detached that I've been in a neutral state for the past 2-3 years. "Something good happened? Well, everyone experiences good things, there's nothing special about this. I'm going to work tomorrow, I'm going back to Limbo." or "Something bad happened? shit here are all the things you can use to make you feel better. It isn't really bad you just care too much." I'm done. Compulsion isn't an addicts friend, I know that as it runs in my family, but just as I've compulsively used weed to cope, I'm compulsively quitting. I cried today for the first time since I was 18. I've been crying for 5 hours now. Not because I know it'll be hard, or because I want to smoke, but because all I can think of are the relationships, jobs and opportunities that I've let slip through my fingers. I know that for some this can be read as overdramatic and that I'm making it a bigger deal than it needs to be, but I truly don't know myself right now. I haven't known myself in a while, but I know what I want to be. I know what I enjoy, I know where my talents can take me. It's time to be me again.
Hi I just want to say that I read your paragraph and though I don’t know you personally, I believe that you will find yourself again and get past this. Keep in mind that only person who can change these things and make a beneficial difference in your life is yourself. It’s not easy, but as long as you put in the effort to change, those negative things in your life slowly will too. One step at a time, you got this! 💯 Also remember that it’s never too late, you’re only 24 and have soooo many more things to experience!
Hi Owen ! Omg I'm super proud of you and I'm exactly where you're at. I hope we'll find our way out of this weed pithole, and trust trust just as there are better days ahead, so is there better opportunities ahead. I promise !!❤ We can definitely do this ! People have done it before, so can we !!
We've all lost so much to weed over the years. Time, money, relationships, new experiences. I was angry all time time about my position in life as a thirty year old pothead with no real future or aspirations/ambition in sight. Flying off into road rages and stuff on a weekly occurrence. I thought weed was calming me down until I took a step back and realized it's alot of the reason I'm so angry with myself. I'm 29 days without it after smoking every day multiple times for 15yrs and I couldnt be happier with myself.
I was 5 days sober yesterday and I relapsed and took a hit last night at work because of the withdrawals. But I am even more motivated today to get through this addiction. When those withdrawals hit in a couple days I’m gonna come back and watch this. VERY inspirational I want to come back to this and say thank you to the people supporting me. I am not SOBER anymore necessarily, no point in being distrustful. I do smoke maryjane still, however it’s very occasionally. Maybe once or twice a week. Compared to where I was at, smoking all day every day it’s a win for me
“I needed my weed in order to create my best work” this hit hard. I’m so glad I found this video😭 knowing there’s other people tryna quit js like me and seeing people actually being able to do it helps me realize that I can do it as well, thank you bro❤️🙏🏻
I’m a teacher and one of my hs students shared that they want to - but are struggling - quit smoking. So I did just what you described - I did a search and found your video. What a beautiful human you are - I’m glad I found this so I can share it - and super cool that you’re local and relatable. Thank you 🙏🏼
I can’t imagine how many people this video must’ve helped (& will continue to help like me). Especially on the harder days. Feels like God put his hand on this one. Much appreciated AT and well done on your transition.
Amazing work not only as a filmmaker but as a human being. Thanks for putting this out and giving hope to those suffering from weed addiction. I’ll admit, I’m a therapist by profession and I see weed addiction destroying young lives every day in my office. Putting stuff like this out there makes a difference. ❤
I’m 25 and got into the smoking habit about 1.5 years ago. It’s gotten to a point where I feel like I can’t function without it but I’m also not at my best when I’m on it. My quitting journey starts now.
On the same boat here but it takes one day to change everything. You need to give yourself a reason as to why you want this for yourself and remind yourself everyday of it so you can start seeing the changes. It takes a lot of effort but no one will do it for you. Only you have the power to take control of your actions. I wish you best on your journey! I’m on day 2 here! :)

I quit smoking Nov 10th 2022-April 5th 2023 I had lots of crazy dreams.. Lots of ups and downs.. But a lot of the time my mood was so much more balanced.. I was also able to remember things 100x better.. names.. my days.. all of it.. In those 5 months a lot of amazing things happned.. But then! I lost my job, hung out with an old friend.. and smoked again.. even tho I didnt NEED too... didnt feel like I HAD to smoke weed.. but I did it... just to see.. what it would be like again.. Like a fool!😤 Because ive been high every day since... And its been miserable.. Im gunna quit again.. But its legit been horrible and so much harder to quit because I went back to again and now its harder than before. So if youve already quit.. DONT GO BACK... its not worth it.. and staying sober is 100% worth it... If youre wanting to quit, do it.. its not as hard as you think it will be. And theres a million and one reasons youll discover as to why its worth it.
This is the exact same thing that happened to me!!! Iv been smoking since 16-17 am now 34 iv been smoking every single day since the age of 20...I manage to stop about 8 months ago for 3 months and it was a crazy 3 months with some crazy dreams and sleepless nights but eventually after a month I started to get my sleep back but I was getting some really crazy weird dreams...anyways I eventually started enjoying life after 2 months and I felt great sober and I was loving life until I ended up meeting a friend of mine who I smoke with and just thought ill have a spliff and see how it feels because it had been so long and that was the biggest mistake of my life...since then am just on it even more and now its even harder to quit!! But for the last couple of months iv quit so many times and it lasts literally 2 days not even that and am back on it iv thrown my stuff away so many times and I end up just buying it again and now am at the point where am literally thinking am never going to stop but today is the day my new journey starts and if I can't do it this time I know I'll never do it
Dude, I can't thank you enough for making this video. What an inspiration....I'm 33 years old and have been smoking everyday since about 16. I'm currently on day 26 no weed and have been feeling the depression hard over the past couple weeks. Exercise and creative work have helped me so much. And watching this video. I really can't tell you how much you inspired me man. I'm a graphic designer and photographer starting to dive into film making and I've always had that same feeling - "I can't be creative without weed". But you really just helped me see outside that on another level. I can't wait to start feeling that sober creativity and stick to this. I think you just inspired me to go the 365+...PS - this video is badass, I love this whole edit and your style a lot man. So much love my brother.
I’m 33 days weed free and honestly the beginning wasn’t the most difficult. I’ve noticed the past couple of days and especially today I’ve had so many temptations for a blunt 😭 I was watching this girl smoke a blunt listening to music and told myself I would live vicariously through her but then I realized I can’t take in that kind of content if I want to stop. So I looked up one month weed free and found this. I needed this a lot. And a tip for others is to create a reward system for yourself. I told myself after two weeks I could get another tattoo and I did! I think I’m going to set that as another goal for myself!
This strategy has been working well for me. Set goals and buy myself a little treat with some of the money I would've spent on weed. Best of luck to you!
I'm on day 28, and I get what you mean. I've tried and gotten months clean before, so I know how to face it this time: the most likely time to relapse is when you aren't afraid of it. You can go a year, and then be back to daily smoking, just like that.
Just curious...why would someone inject ink into their beautiful skin..it's tacky and low class and makes the wearer look not smart...plus your stuck looking at it for the rest of your life...I just don't get it...but I'm an army veteran and I'd go to war for your right to destroy your skin..
There is a holy GOD in Heaven, Who must punish sin, but He offers salvation in His Son Jesus Christ, Who died for the sin of the world, and is risen for our justification, He's risen in glory as both LORD and Messiah. turn from your sins and turn to the only true, and living, GOD.
I smoked my last joint on Saturday and yesterday I dangled my bong over the trashcan and I got scared and walked away feeling unsure and confused. Now that I’ve heard your story i almost want to just never drink again either. I hate how alcohol and weed makes me feel these days. Tomorrow morning I’m walking up to the trash and letting it go. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s been years of me being dependent on getting high and it’s so exhausting and difficult to be self aware of your goals and dreams when ur lit asf off the cookies !!!
Thanks for creating this Yo! Its a reminder for us all how something you found cool is starting to cause problems. Low libido, low REM sleep and fatigue all the time. I’m reducing it down to occasionally and strictly not on weekdays
Day 32 today. I can’t emphasize enough how this video changed my life. Realizing I wasn’t alone on this journey gave me the courage to keep going when the cravings and withdrawals were so bad. I honestly cannot believe I made it to Day 32. Thank you so much for this video and to anyone who is contemplating quitting or taking a break, I promise you it’s definitely worth it and it can be done.
For whoever is about to give up, I know it's hard and unbearable most times, but just think about how happy you'll be once you've conquered this challenge. You're not alone, believe in yourself, results might not show quickly but they will one day. And please don't beat yourself up even if you "fail" after a few days, you didn't really fail, you already did way better than you were few days ago. Ultimate respect for you even trying and wishing you all luck with this tough journey🙏🏻🖤
I screenshot this for my hard days to come …idk how many times I’ve tried to quit and soon as I get frustrated I’d get weed bt I really want to stop…this is day 1
You said there are levels to story telling, but I think you did amazing. The visuals. Just everything. I didn’t feel like I was watching a “how to” which felt super relatable, thank you for this.
Ty for deciding to upload this. It’s so hard to let go of who you thought you were, holding yourself accountable and letting yourself really heal. Definitely needed to hear this.
been smoking since i was 17, but for 4 years straight since covid I smoked carts all day every day except for at work. my depression and anxiety got so out of control i ended up going to a psychiatrist hospital. I had to quit smoking bc of getting drug tested for 5 weeks. I haven’t smoked in 51 days & now that i’m not being held accountable i’m having a lot of cravings. thank you for reminding me why i need to stay sober
4 days here. My biggest issue is my appetite. I've always been skinny, but at 6'5" it's hard to get the calories I need now. It's so hard to eat, and I lose weight so fast that the lethargy is unbelievable. I hope this changes soon, but my job is extremely physical and requires a lot of calories just to maintain my weight. Miss one meal, there goes a pound. Hopefully this goes away and I can start to eat normally again
Bro you just described me, One of the major reasons I quit weed was so I could start gaining weight and start actually seeing progress in the gym and I'll tell ya, the first week was rough. I couldn't sleep, I wasn't hungry, I had no energy, and I was losing weight that didn't have to lose. It was hard but I just kept repeating to myself why I am doing this and thinking ab the dark times when I would just smoke weed all day and lay in bed and scroll and not give a shit ab life. After that first week everything changed, I starting eating more than I ever had and seeing results in the gym. This alone inspired me so much, gave me so much joy/excitement, and showed me how much weed was really holding me back. I kept thinking" if this is one week of progress imagine one month" and from then on it became so much easier and clear that I am actually living the life I want to and how much weed allowed me to be complacent. Just get past those first few days of withdrawal and I gurantee seeing improvements will keep you inspired to keep going. I love everyone in this comment section for being open and wanting to become the best version of themselves. Life is the most amazing gift you will ever receive and you only get to experience it once, why not become the best version of you and experience life in the best, happiest, positive, and real way possible❤ I'm proud of you
i feel this bro i feel like i need a reset on my appetite. I also think it speeds metabolism when you smoke because your heart beats faster. Also have a nicotine addiction too which is a suppresant as well. Hoping this year i can gain some weight
man literally within the first 4 minutes of this video i have never met someone who relates more to smoking then I do. I am currently trying to quit right now but it's is very unsuccessful. after watching this video, my plan has definately changed. I currently smoke about 5-6g a day and that's not even pushing it. I am having a rough go at it right now. this video has helped me so much and I am going to continuously go back and watch this video. no one gets why I do it or how I'm able to. I just can. finally someone else who can relate to exactly what I am going through in general.
Brother thank you for this video I’ve been slacking on my quitting for a long time, and the more videos I watch like this the more I see I’m not alone in this struggle. This video is well done, thank you for sharing you story, it helps individuals have an outside perspective in their own situations. Thank you man!
currently struggling to sleep, it’s 5am and honestly these nightmares are scaring me. It’s been six days but I’m going to push thru and better myself this year - thanks for doing this video it helped me a lot
You got this keep the promise you set for yourself,you will feel better because you stayed true to yourself,I haven’t smoked in 5 months,i used to smoke all day for ten years and finally have my life back so keep pushing
Andy I’m so proud of you! This film is one of my favorites you’ve released to date. So much emotional impact, great storytelling, creative scenes. Not only that but it’s inspiring to me, even though I don’t smoke. This made me think about the unhealthy coping mechanisms and unhealthy mindsets in my own daily life. Thanks for sharing your journey fam

Yo Andy, your journey towards wellness and coming home to your body is not only inspiring but a tremendous feat given you’ve come from the dirty thirties in the town!! You are absolutely right, healing is a life long journey especially for folks who grew up in a war zone like Oakland. Glad you’re on your way brotha! So much wisdom on this video. Thank you for your vulnerability. Sending love, light and ease from the the Town!! #aypaldays #townbizz #yeeeeeeee!

Thank you for creating this homie! Today is day one for me again, I've been a toker from dawn to dusk since I was a kid. For everyone going through it right now, just keep going. It's a journey!
I'm trying to give it all up this year - I've been trying to drop it for the last few years, it's a process and journey for sure. Big respect to you bro and that's a beautiful video!
This is powerful dude. If anyone is struggling with addiction, take it day by day. I’ve honestly never been an addict of drugs but know many people who are and don’t forget you’re loved 🖤
Day 18 of quitting weed. Been smoking for a decade. Smoking really heavily the past 3 years due to Covid and stress. It’s so painful since I was escaping all my responsibilities and using weed as a crutch and always neglecting all the things to be done. My family. My kid. I’m on the journey to soberness, but all the emotions I was escaping is hitting me like ocean waves. It’s hard right now. So painful. Thanks for your testimony. It gives me comfort to keep treading on. God bless you brother.
I’m glad I’m not alone because I know once I stop I’m going to feel everything that people did to me that hurt me that I didn’t feel because I’ve been smoking everyday 24/7z
This came at the perfect time for me, been off weed for the past 3 days, and taking this video as another sign I needed to continue a cleanse as well. Thank you for producing the type of content that's missing but NEEDED. Also coming from the bay, experiencing trauma, and going through the healing process I and many others appreciate the vulnerability for showing us the process and progress. You never cease to amaze with your work, Andy!
Broooo mad proud of you my guy!!! I’ve been sober for about 5 years now and my brother is on the same journey too. Like you said it’ll have it’s ups and downs but cultivating healthy coping and healing processes then you’ll feel your level up! Much love my guy and keep pushin! #yeeeee
Really needed to hear this perspective. The creative touch you added to this video really resonated with me. I am 4 days into my journey, and seeing this video only reassured me that what I’m doing is for the best. Thank you brother ❤
My God are you an amazing videographer, photographer, and visual artist. I've watched about 10 quit weed videos and yours by far is the most amazing presentation yet. You're very talented. Straight.
I appreciate you for making this video. Not enough people talk about their weed addiction and their process of getting over it. I've stopped a few times in my life and can say those were some of the most focused times I've ever had. Weed makes me complacent and that's not what I want out of life. Although I still smoke now and live with people who do it makes it harder to quit but I'm seeing on my horizon that it won't be consistent.
This is so relatable. I’ve been smoking since I was 15. But I’ve been having this thought that I want to quit but my body keeps going to it. Proud that you could push through. That means I can too. 👏🏽
Been thinking about quitting, I started smoking daily around 14, I’m almost 25 now. I wasn’t expecting it but this video made me emotional fr, I started getting a crazy urge to go light up while watching this, and I just realized I do actually have a problem.. it’s crazy when you’re a kid every one tells you you can’t get hooked and there’s no negative effects. I hope now that it’s getting researched more, there can start being some warnings for the young guys that it’s not something to do all day every day
Nah fr bro I been smoking since 16 I am now 23 who just got back into wasted all my savings sitting at home smoking now got near to no money to last me and no job and just on the verge off losing everything, it sucks once I am smoking I forget but the stuff I need to do
@@MetatronRR haha nope but today is my last day I fell into another weee cycle taking over my life but i am quitting after these 2 joints I got rolled up and then from tomorrow Monday going to sort my life out , but i appreciate the check up homie the weed is a big issue in my life
Currently just met my first week milestone of quitting. I used it as a crutch as well, now that I've stopped, all the feelings and pain I was suppressing had me defeated, but I still got through it without the need of mj. Gotta stay positive and realize that it is possible. Glad to come across this video, there's not many vids out there as vulnerable, relatable, and inspiring as this. Thank you. Please do an updated video if you can.
Thank you for talking so much about the creative side cause this is the #1 reason why I’m stopping. I picked up smoking to deal with some very traumatic situations but yeah coping is different then healing. Thank you!!! ✨
nah bro this video and your journey are beautiful… always been a huge fan of your work but these videos that dig deep into where your heads at make me appreciate your transparency even more. keep doing yo thing bro❤️
Who would have thought that a 68 year old Canadian woman living in the woods could relate so well with a young asian UA-camr. You just described my situation perfectly. My life is nothing but routine any more and my creativity is feeling kind of fake. Thanks, Andy. I have some things to think about.
@@applepretz5368 Asians have their own culture. Black people have their own culture. White women up in Canada got her own. A young man who is Asian probably grew up different than a young man who is white. Or black. Or Indian. So on and so forth.
@@applepretz5368she said Asian and that offended you? Jesus Christ you can’t even mention the word of a region without upsetting people anymore no wonder movies are so shit nowadays, people like you get offended at EVERYTHING!!!!!
I’m on day four. I’ve tried many times. I’ve smoked almost every day for 25 years. I can relate to everything in this video. There are not any other videos I’ve come across that are this real and inspiring. Please reach out if you get this. Much ❤
I can relate heavy to everything you said, I've also been doing it everyday for the past 25 years and Its really tough man... I'm currently still going through it all, with the urges to re-up just to smoke. I really hope come out victorious in the end, cause imma hope the same for me even though I'm starting to lose faith in myself.
Thank you so much for your honesty and making this not be so shameful. I'm starting my journey after smoking daily for too many years. It's truly changed my whole personality and it's time to clear the smoke. Wish you all the best on your journey
Ahh yeah, I’m definitely about to tap in and peep this.. Preciate you documenting this..🤞🏾🙏🏾 kudos to you as well for the accomplishment..🙏🏾 keep it up..🔑
Well done mate. I’m approaching my 3rd week and it’s like the insomnia has truly peaked. I’m finding this week harder than the first and second. But I’m motivated to keep going in order to reach the other side.
Thanks for your video ... l turn 50 in march 24 & I've been stoned since 1988 , l started smoking at 14 and the longest I've ever gone without is about 10 days and that was about 20 years ago. I decided 30 days ago to just stop and your right it's a rough ride man really rough , l went through a bad break up 12 months ago and l decided l just want to better myself , I'm also a musician and have always used the excuse that weed makes me play guitar and sing better so l didn't stop . Well I'm 30 days clean today and played a gig last night and had so much fun my playing was great my voice is sounding better I'm holding notes longer and people noticed that l look happy and l now know it can only get better .. apart from that the dreams are insane I'm getting chased and arguing every night and sometimes I've woken in tears but I'm not going back to the weed ... l gotvthis l keep telling myself and just keep reminding myself it's for the better .. l even got myself a dog from rescue to keep me company now that mj has left and I'm starting to feel great 👍
Brooooo!!! I’m in tears watching this video.. mehn!!! I feel you bro. Same struggles. Similar stories 😢 thank you for this video, you’ve lifted my spirits, I’m moving from Germany to Denmark 30may 2023. I’m dropping that habit..
I'm here on day 4 and feeling like I'm dying. I found this video randomly and I know now that I can do this. Thank you so much. This is literally like a hug through the screen. This video was needed. It was necessary. Just.... thanx, bro.
You’re amazing for this bro. I’ve been smoking for 4-5 years and progressively upping the amount over the years. I relate so much with everything you felt and said. I’m 3 days sober for the first time in all those years. Even on vacation, I would have it. Now, I’m going through some pretty hard withdrawals just as you did. It makes me want to just stop the sickness by hitting a bowl but this video encouraged me to go another day. I don’t know if I’ll make it 90 days or not but I do know that this decision was meant to happen. Mad respect bro. Thank you.
Relapse does happen in recovery. You just gotta jump on that wagon and trying again! Much luck you to you on your journey. May your will be stronger than any temptation.
Bruh, this one hits harder than any blunt ever could. Big ups for the courage and time you put into this video, as well as your successful journey 🙌 here’s to clarity!
Grateful for you sharing your story with honesty and grace! I am just past month 6 and I feel you! Thanks for the ongoing inspiration and shared human experience ❤
Super happy for you man. Thank you for this video. It really does help knowing I’m not alone in this. About to be 2 months for me soon. So definitely excited to get to that 90 day threshold. My fitness goal is to lose 100 lbs I’m currently at 285 and would love to get under 200 especially because I’m 5’9 it hasn’t been east but it is worth it for sure 🙏🏼💪🏽
This really hit home for me. I’ve noticed that I also had a few distractions that I unconsciously used to interrupt myself from getting into the flow of life. I consciously started to remove those things and man, my mind has been in withdrawal mode. Didn’t realize how much I’ve been addicted to distractions and things that are not beneficial to real growth…. But this video has been a great reminder that I’m on the right path. Thanks for this and your content Andy!!!!
Thank you! This video is everything I need right now. I’m on day three. Been blazing daily for over 20 years. This is the second time I’ve watched it this video. I appreciate the challenge. I wish I didn’t have this weird fear of never smoking chronic again. I can’t wait to see what’s on the other side. We got this!!
It’s been a day since I stopped and the nightmare occurred instantly, but I want everyone to look at the future in comparison to the time frame that you’ll take to recover if you don’t quit and how much more antagonizing it will be. Stay strong ladies and gents, were in this together💪🏾
@@filiperodriguescorreia8058 I understand how you feel and I felt the same way but I’m glad you’re staying consistent. Just keep in mind that you’re not losing anything but instead gaining your mental health🙏🏾
this is my new comfort video. i’ve made the decision to take a big break tonight and i reckon i’ll come back to this multiple times to keep me going strong. really inspiring shit! ❣️
Wow just wow! I never been so excited in my life. The reason why I say this because I have been wanting to quit but never had the courage too. I was already coping with weed too DEEP! But you have really inspired to quit after 12years since I was 15. I’m 27! I really believe that it is people like you who help people (HELP PEOPLE) ❤ Thank you Andy To!
The first video where I could really. Relate with the struggles you went through while trying to quit unfortunately I haven’t been strong enough to kick my habit yet but it’s good to know its something more people go through. Thank you man.
Yesterday 08/12 was my official 3 months without smoking. Like you said it's crazy the nightmares that come with detoxing, I was having a nightmare like every other day of getting shot or of shooting someone. Now I've been good, it still trips me out to think I had been smoking almost every day if not every other day for 10+ years. Good shit man stay with it.
Really appreciate this. My day 1 is starting tomorrow and I hope this motivates me to do bigger and better things like you. Keep doing what you’re doing man thank you
I thank you for this, I am 60 days smoke-free. I was a heavy user 😔, I lost my job of 7 years so I have to quit to get a new job. I am having the vivid crazy dreams daily when I can finally get to sleep. ( Insomnia bad) and these nightmares are like movies. I just tested myself tonight (60 day mark) and I am still positive. " 6'5, 226lbs" I was feeling so bad that I am still showing positive. I guess I am going to have to wait another 30 days to test myself again. Your words brought me comfort. Once I get through this I don't plan on smoking ever again. Honestly. I feel like I put my family in a terrible situation because I wasn't responsible and thought about the what if's due to my Complacency. So thank you I needed to hear this tonight. 🙏
Holy shit, who knew 60 days and one can still pop positive. Not I my friend. Embrace the terror you feel. I know that sounds counter intuitive. Ride it out sober as steel is made this way. You are a family man, and that's a beautiful thing. The scariest times in my life are what scared me straight. God bless. It will all work out.
Addiction- is giving up everything for one thing.
Recovery- is giving up one thing for everything.
Thank you ! I needed this!
Same here
Daaamn😢
If you can do it with weed, you can do it with god.

Keep it up... I'm on day 3 myself I think once you've made your.mind up..its a done deal
How tf
How u doing - just cutting back is kicking my ass
Im 27 and for the Last 3 years believe it or not i smoked about 4g of weed à day. And i take huge bong hits so you get the drill.
I stopped yesterday and i feel all of you guys.. the pain is there but you know what they say, suffer now feel good later
Same brother. I’m 32 years old smoked weed daily for about 10-15 years and I’m on day 6 of no weed. I’ve experienced the night sweats, vivid dreams, loss of appetite and dehydration.
Just wanted to update everyone that I completed 365 without weed. I’m currently working hard on the video but need to balance my time with my client work. I want this next drop to have that same level of production quality so I’m targeting this release soon!! 🦾
🎉
Was it worth it are you feeling yourself again it will be 2 months on the 11th of this month and still a Lil off
@@vickivee Andy, I made the choice to quit 2 days ago after using weed in various forms for probably 12 or 13 years. Since legalization in Canada, vapes and vape carts are available anytime. THREE shops opened within 2 blocks of my apartment. I needed some support and inspiration so I came to UA-cam to see what videos people had put up. Yours resonated so well with mine and your killer video production skills made it that much more intriguing.
Very excited about the next vid.
Thank you for making these and being so honest.
This is the biggest inspiration I've had hands down because everything resonates with me completely. I feel my creative energy slowly creeping away and my drive for things needed to be done rapidly depleting. Took the remaining buds and flushed them down the toilet 5 days ago . Yes! its a hard journey 'm embarking on and i know it'll worth it at the end. Good to know you're doing fine after 365
Awww I came at the perfect time. Congratulations!!
You real for creating this bro. Thank you. I needed this one
There is a holy GOD in Heaven, Who must punish sin, but He offers salvation in His Son Jesus Christ, Who died for the sin of the world, and is risen for our justification, He's risen in glory as both LORD and Messiah. turn from your sins and turn to the only true, and living, GOD.
@@inactiveuser555 who asked
@lilbaby4pfmuzic305 Lol you didnt know he had weed problems?
@@inactiveuser555 lol no. The story of the Bible as far as god and heaven or hell contradicts its own morals. If Sending someone to immortal torment isn’t a sin then wtf even is a sin.
@@WhateverIOI I just wanted to say we basically got the same thing going, my boyfriend barely even drinks let alone smokes unless its special occasion/hanging with friends, I've been smoking daily since I was 16 for 7 years, being with him actually inspired me to quit more because I started to feel like kind of a bum. Even if we are just watching TV or movie I have to go smoke a bowl at some point, before I used to brush off that I smoked weed literally around the clock because not only did everyone around me do it to, I'm able to function (but that really is just a testament to your addiction if you're at the point that you're smoking constantly just to feel normal, not even high anymore)- but seeing how he is able to do literally everything from his shitty job to even fun things without weed, I started to question myself really why I couldn't do the same. Anyways, just thought that was interesting. I never really believed the whole "if you're trying to quit something you shouldn't be around others who are doing it" cause I always lied to myself that I would have the will power to stop. But it wasn't until moving in with my nearly entirely sober boyfriend I realized its true and I actually got the genuine want to quit.
Starting cold turkey tonight, I hope your past 2 months have good and you're doing well 👍
I'm just over a year off weed - and I completely resonate with you, man! Weed can become a coping mechanism that holds us back. Anyone who wishes to change this habit can, I believe in you all
Watching videos on quitting weed, but not finding people you relate to. That hit me deep. Thanks for making this video.
Meant it when I said it too. Update this thread on your journey so we can cheer from afar
10 year addict..smoking 3x a day ,probably more ... 7 days sober now ... crying as I watch this video because I didnt think anyone on my level of addiction could do it ..the physical and mental pain is unreal . Your video gives me alot more hope and i definitely dont feel so alone in this anymore... thank you for sharing man ..
Edit:(I'm clean now)💯💯
i believe in you! you got this ❤️
I’m starting today. Hope you are doing better.
im 23 and Ive been smoking since im 17, daily, and fuck man I want to stop now I feel like its destroying my brain
How are you doing mate? Still clean?
Be solid bratha..all of us passing true some shit
This video honestly made me very emotional. People always say that you can not get addicted to weed but that is completely false. I feel like I lost the last 10 years of my life to some useless plant and I can not do anything about that other than start looking forward for this next decade. Who else is starting off their 2023 with me, no nicotine, and no weed at all....
I plan on starting today, bro. I’m down bad with this weed. 🤦🏾♂ But I usually slip up. Even when I’m down bad & broke I end up getting free weed, offered from friends. Lol Lucifer be working double shifts. 😂
Me
😢 the withdrawal is so hard tho
Too many people glorify marijuana but it’s just as bad as anything else
Jan 16 my last day smoking. Hope I make it
4days clean no weed no nicotine after 7 years of smoking daily . To everybody out there struggling YOU CAN DO THIS. One day at a time
Thank you for making this video. I had my first joint at 13 and have been smoking weed daily ever since I was 15. I have known for years that it is blocking me creatively and spiritually, but I always told myself the same thing you did, 'I am my most creative when I'm high'. I was able to quit once for a month and my crippling anxiety disappeared, but I still felt so depressed, so in the end I picked it up again. But I am fed up with it. Today I am starting up my sober journey again, posting this comment to hold me accountable. This video really made me feel seen, everything you said I relate to. I hope you are doing well. Great video!!
Hey it’s been a month! How’s everything holding homie!!?
@@LiveStockMarketOptionshe high as shit
@@SS-vv6jlu funny😂
Same. I’m in music/sound design and it’s so easy to look at all the rappers and producers who smoke during sessions. Just gotta realize it’s not the same for you if you have an addictive personality/ if your not in that successful position yet
@@LiveStockMarketOptions When I posted that comment I didn't manage to quit, but I made it a New years resolution and I am now a week sober. It's been pretty tough with the cravings, but I feel like this time it's gonna work out. I'm looking forward to being a few months sober!
Was smoking while watching this. I’m finishing off what I got and then it’s the start of my journey. Was just tapping in to see what I had to look forward to. Thanks for the inspiration.
Same
Hope you sober gang
Hey bro, how's your journey so far? I'm starting right now.
im high while watching this and it feel like im reading subtitle in documentary film
It’s been 4 months, update?
As someone who has also overcame weed addiction the life you begin to live after you quit is so beautiful happy for you brother
Can you please elaborate a little bit?
@@hotcoldengineering324 obviously I'm not the op but I'm taking this journey too, and he's right, this doesn't go for absolutely everyone but when you've smoked daily for years, you become complacent, you become happy with the bare minimum, you stop striving to improve aspects of your life because its easier to sit down after a hard day of work, have a smoke and forget about the day, it became my stress reliever, my so called key to enjoy just the basic activities in my life, weed used to make things so fun for me I used to love doing everything high and I would do it well but somewhere down the line it started to take happiness away from me, I had to smoke just to feel normal, what weed gives you with one hand it takes away with the other further down the line. When you stop it's hard but after a couple of weeks you begin to enjoy simple pleasures in life like just going for a walk and appreciating your surroundings, and yes you will experience extreme boredom, at least for me that was a big factor of why I kept smoking because once I was bored I would fill that time with a joint and being high and happy doing nothing, we need to be bored in life and learn to be bored, because from boredom comes new ideas, you try things you wouldn't have done before because you are no longer getting high and actually have free time that isn't spent thinking about and doing all the things that revolve around smoking, you pick up old hobbies that you used to love when you were younger, you discover so much about yourself that you would not have found if you just spent the remainder of your days getting high, again this doesn't apply for everyone but I know I'm not where I am in life bacsuse it's easier to push things off and get high, it makes you ok with being where you are in life even when you know you're not where you're supposed to be
@@BasilBush420well said brother, preciate it.
Cool name, man.
@@BasilBush420 What you wrote and the this video are Golden to me. Where are you in terms of days without THC? I did 30 days (after 25yrs of daily light/medium use) then relapsed with a gram of SuperLemonHaze, now i'm 7 days clear again...going hard for the 365. Nicotine with drawl also as I smoked joints (Marlborough + Skunk) + 1/2 pack per day.

@@daliaz6625 Think of all the positives:
The clear mind, normal thought processes, motivation to actually do things instead of just sitting around being high, less cravings for junk food, no weed-induced slobbery in general, WAY more money in the bank, waking up easier in the morning and having dreams again when you sleep.
Being able to relate to mainstream (non-weed) people is a big one for me. Not smoking has made me socially-minded again instead of just a stoned recluse.

I could remember several years ago I suffered from severe depression and mental disorder. I was addicted to illicit pills, alcohol, and smoking until I was recommended for psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against anxiety and depression.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I had the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on Instagram?
Just relapsed after 6months but starting again today. Though I will admit I wasn't able to cope with my job well without it, I just realised when I was sober how much I absolutely hated my career. Currently trying to find a new career path and hopefully support my kids and partner again, Peace.
Six months is a real accomplishment. I too relapsed, but know this, you now know in a very internal way, that you were happier straight than held hostage by weed. You now know better, and that's the hope I found, even though I relapsed.
You can do it again! HUGE accomplishment

I’m trying to do day 1 but damn this depression killing me
Andy idk if you'll ever see this, but thank you so much for making this video. I'm 24, 2 years out of college, been smoking since I was 16. It's at the point where just as you said, I haven't left the house and done something without smoking first in a VERY long time. I take a vape pen with me to work, I roll up before going to family member's houses, etc. but to cut to the chase these last 2 weeks have been the worst of my entire life.
I feel like I've watched my life from the outside looking in. At times I can't control what comes out of my mouth, or at least I know what I want to say but can't find the words. I can't relay emotion, as a matter of fact I'm so emotionally detached that I've been in a neutral state for the past 2-3 years. "Something good happened? Well, everyone experiences good things, there's nothing special about this. I'm going to work tomorrow, I'm going back to Limbo." or "Something bad happened? shit here are all the things you can use to make you feel better. It isn't really bad you just care too much."
I'm done. Compulsion isn't an addicts friend, I know that as it runs in my family, but just as I've compulsively used weed to cope, I'm compulsively quitting. I cried today for the first time since I was 18. I've been crying for 5 hours now. Not because I know it'll be hard, or because I want to smoke, but because all I can think of are the relationships, jobs and opportunities that I've let slip through my fingers. I know that for some this can be read as overdramatic and that I'm making it a bigger deal than it needs to be, but I truly don't know myself right now. I haven't known myself in a while, but I know what I want to be. I know what I enjoy, I know where my talents can take me. It's time to be me again.
Hi I just want to say that I read your paragraph and though I don’t know you personally, I believe that you will find yourself again and get past this. Keep in mind that only person who can change these things and make a beneficial difference in your life is yourself. It’s not easy, but as long as you put in the effort to change, those negative things in your life slowly will too. One step at a time, you got this! 💯
Also remember that it’s never too late, you’re only 24 and have soooo many more things to experience!
Hi Owen ! Omg I'm super proud of you and I'm exactly where you're at. I hope we'll find our way out of this weed pithole, and trust trust just as there are better days ahead, so is there better opportunities ahead. I promise !!❤ We can definitely do this ! People have done it before, so can we !!
We've all lost so much to weed over the years. Time, money, relationships, new experiences. I was angry all time time about my position in life as a thirty year old pothead with no real future or aspirations/ambition in sight. Flying off into road rages and stuff on a weekly occurrence. I thought weed was calming me down until I took a step back and realized it's alot of the reason I'm so angry with myself. I'm 29 days without it after smoking every day multiple times for 15yrs and I couldnt be happier with myself.
@@BostonBluestruly happy for you man. Im realizing the same at 24. I hope you make your fam proud
Hey man... How are you doing? It's been 4 months. Are you still clean?
I was 5 days sober yesterday and I relapsed and took a hit last night at work because of the withdrawals. But I am even more motivated today to get through this addiction. When those withdrawals hit in a couple days I’m gonna come back and watch this. VERY inspirational
I want to come back to this and say thank you to the people supporting me. I am not SOBER anymore necessarily, no point in being distrustful. I do smoke maryjane still, however it’s very occasionally. Maybe once or twice a week. Compared to where I was at, smoking all day every day it’s a win for me

You need to give yourself a reason as to why you want this for yourself and remind yourself everyday of it so you can start seeing the changes. It takes a lot of effort but no one will do it for you. Only you have the power to take control of your actions. I wish you best on your journey! I’m on day 2 here! :)
i hate when people say weed isnt addictive. it truly is so thank you for shedding some light on the topic
I quit heroine / methadone but weed for me is the most difficult to stop
@@ywarjanpalod9400 facts, I think weed is truly the most addictive drug because of its convenience
They confuse addiction with physical dependence.
@@ywarjanpalod9400 that's bs heroin is worst ever and it's really hard to withdraw for you saying heroin is easy to stop is bs and one would believe that I m not saying weed is easy to stop but you saying heroin is easy to stop is 🤣
@@ywarjanpalod9400 no you wasn't on heroin you are a liar because people who experience heroin withdraw knows it I m not saying weed is easy to withdraw
I quit smoking
Nov 10th 2022-April 5th 2023
I had lots of crazy dreams..
Lots of ups and downs..
But a lot of the time my mood was so much more balanced..
I was also able to remember things 100x better.. names.. my days.. all of it..
In those 5 months a lot of amazing things happned..
But then! I lost my job, hung out with an old friend.. and smoked again.. even tho I didnt NEED too... didnt feel like I HAD to smoke weed.. but I did it... just to see.. what it would be like again..
Like a fool!😤
Because ive been high every day since...
And its been miserable..
Im gunna quit again..
But its legit been horrible and so much harder to quit because I went back to again and now its harder than before.
So if youve already quit.. DONT GO BACK... its not worth it.. and staying sober is 100% worth it...
If youre wanting to quit, do it.. its not as hard as you think it will be.
And theres a million and one reasons youll discover as to why its worth it.
This is the exact same thing that happened to me!!! Iv been smoking since 16-17 am now 34 iv been smoking every single day since the age of 20...I manage to stop about 8 months ago for 3 months and it was a crazy 3 months with some crazy dreams and sleepless nights but eventually after a month I started to get my sleep back but I was getting some really crazy weird dreams...anyways I eventually started enjoying life after 2 months and I felt great sober and I was loving life until I ended up meeting a friend of mine who I smoke with and just thought ill have a spliff and see how it feels because it had been so long and that was the biggest mistake of my life...since then am just on it even more and now its even harder to quit!! But for the last couple of months iv quit so many times and it lasts literally 2 days not even that and am back on it iv thrown my stuff away so many times and I end up just buying it again and now am at the point where am literally thinking am never going to stop but today is the day my new journey starts and if I can't do it this time I know I'll never do it
Dude, I can't thank you enough for making this video. What an inspiration....I'm 33 years old and have been smoking everyday since about 16. I'm currently on day 26 no weed and have been feeling the depression hard over the past couple weeks. Exercise and creative work have helped me so much. And watching this video. I really can't tell you how much you inspired me man. I'm a graphic designer and photographer starting to dive into film making and I've always had that same feeling - "I can't be creative without weed". But you really just helped me see outside that on another level. I can't wait to start feeling that sober creativity and stick to this. I think you just inspired me to go the 365+...PS - this video is badass, I love this whole edit and your style a lot man. So much love my brother.
I’m 33 days weed free and honestly the beginning wasn’t the most difficult. I’ve noticed the past couple of days and especially today I’ve had so many temptations for a blunt 😭 I was watching this girl smoke a blunt listening to music and told myself I would live vicariously through her but then I realized I can’t take in that kind of content if I want to stop. So I looked up one month weed free and found this. I needed this a lot. And a tip for others is to create a reward system for yourself. I told myself after two weeks I could get another tattoo and I did! I think I’m going to set that as another goal for myself!
This strategy has been working well for me. Set goals and buy myself a little treat with some of the money I would've spent on weed. Best of luck to you!
Nice! Love the tattoo idea.
Great video!
I'm on day 28, and I get what you mean. I've tried and gotten months clean before, so I know how to face it this time: the most likely time to relapse is when you aren't afraid of it. You can go a year, and then be back to daily smoking, just like that.
Just curious...why would someone inject ink into their beautiful skin..it's tacky and low class and makes the wearer look not smart...plus your stuck looking at it for the rest of your life...I just don't get it...but I'm an army veteran and I'd go to war for your right to destroy your skin..
The courage it takes to put this video out and be held accountable…props brother. Been loving your videos even more these past few months
There is a holy GOD in Heaven, Who must punish sin, but He offers salvation in His Son Jesus Christ, Who died for the sin of the world, and is risen for our justification, He's risen in glory as both LORD and Messiah. turn from your sins and turn to the only true, and living, GOD.
I smoked my last joint on Saturday and yesterday I dangled my bong over the trashcan and I got scared and walked away feeling unsure and confused. Now that I’ve heard your story i almost want to just never drink again either. I hate how alcohol and weed makes me feel these days. Tomorrow morning I’m walking up to the trash and letting it go. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s been years of me being dependent on getting high and it’s so exhausting and difficult to be self aware of your goals and dreams when ur lit asf off the cookies !!!
Thanks for creating this Yo! Its a reminder for us all how something you found cool is starting to cause problems. Low libido, low REM sleep and fatigue all the time. I’m reducing it down to occasionally and strictly not on weekdays
Day 32 today. I can’t emphasize enough how this video changed my life. Realizing I wasn’t alone on this journey gave me the courage to keep going when the cravings and withdrawals were so bad. I honestly cannot believe I made it to Day 32.
Thank you so much for this video and to anyone who is contemplating quitting or taking a break, I promise you it’s definitely worth it and it can be done.

For whoever is about to give up, I know it's hard and unbearable most times, but just think about how happy you'll be once you've conquered this challenge. You're not alone, believe in yourself, results might not show quickly but they will one day.
And please don't beat yourself up even if you "fail" after a few days, you didn't really fail, you already did way better than you were few days ago. Ultimate respect for you even trying and wishing you all luck with this tough journey🙏🏻🖤
I screenshot this for my hard days to come …idk how many times I’ve tried to quit and soon as I get frustrated I’d get weed bt I really want to stop…this is day 1
You said there are levels to story telling, but I think you did amazing. The visuals. Just everything. I didn’t feel like I was watching a “how to” which felt super relatable, thank you for this.
Wow, your testament and willingness to be vulnerable is beyond POWERFUL- thank you for sharing yur journey.
Currently 3 weeks clean locked in its hard but we are all in this together ❤
How do you deal with the first few days / weeks of withdrawals this shit is miserable
@@tavonrice1935 the first 3 weeks are 80% of it so keep going, I'm 3 months clean now passed a urine test 2 times keep going bro
@@samik2260 I made it g that comment was over one month ago I don’t even think about smoking days last longer the anger comes and goes but I’m here
@@tavonrice1935how is it going for you
Ty for deciding to upload this. It’s so hard to let go of who you thought you were, holding yourself accountable and letting yourself really heal. Definitely needed to hear this.
been smoking since i was 17, but for 4 years straight since covid I smoked carts all day every day except for at work. my depression and anxiety got so out of control i ended up going to a psychiatrist hospital. I had to quit smoking bc of getting drug tested for 5 weeks. I haven’t smoked in 51 days & now that i’m not being held accountable i’m having a lot of cravings. thank you for reminding me why i need to stay sober
The editing on this vid is insanely good+ rly appreciate u for creating this a lot of ppl need it
4 days here. My biggest issue is my appetite. I've always been skinny, but at 6'5" it's hard to get the calories I need now. It's so hard to eat, and I lose weight so fast that the lethargy is unbelievable. I hope this changes soon, but my job is extremely physical and requires a lot of calories just to maintain my weight. Miss one meal, there goes a pound. Hopefully this goes away and I can start to eat normally again
Get some serious mass weight gainer. 1 scoop has like 650 calories. Used to be a bodybuilder and whenever I would bulk this stuff would help a lot.
Bro you just described me, One of the major reasons I quit weed was so I could start gaining weight and start actually seeing progress in the gym and I'll tell ya, the first week was rough. I couldn't sleep, I wasn't hungry, I had no energy, and I was losing weight that didn't have to lose. It was hard but I just kept repeating to myself why I am doing this and thinking ab the dark times when I would just smoke weed all day and lay in bed and scroll and not give a shit ab life. After that first week everything changed, I starting eating more than I ever had and seeing results in the gym. This alone inspired me so much, gave me so much joy/excitement, and showed me how much weed was really holding me back. I kept thinking" if this is one week of progress imagine one month" and from then on it became so much easier and clear that I am actually living the life I want to and how much weed allowed me to be complacent. Just get past those first few days of withdrawal and I gurantee seeing improvements will keep you inspired to keep going. I love everyone in this comment section for being open and wanting to become the best version of themselves. Life is the most amazing gift you will ever receive and you only get to experience it once, why not become the best version of you and experience life in the best, happiest, positive, and real way possible❤ I'm proud of you
i feel this bro i feel like i need a reset on my appetite. I also think it speeds metabolism when you smoke because your heart beats faster. Also have a nicotine addiction too which is a suppresant as well. Hoping this year i can gain some weight
i have the same problem im 15 and used to weigh 150 now im 110
Your appetite will pick up. ❤️😊
man literally within the first 4 minutes of this video i have never met someone who relates more to smoking then I do. I am currently trying to quit right now but it's is very unsuccessful. after watching this video, my plan has definately changed. I currently smoke about 5-6g a day and that's not even pushing it. I am having a rough go at it right now. this video has helped me so much and I am going to continuously go back and watch this video. no one gets why I do it or how I'm able to. I just can. finally someone else who can relate to exactly what I am going through in general.
Brother thank you for this video I’ve been slacking on my quitting for a long time, and the more videos I watch like this the more I see I’m not alone in this struggle.
This video is well done, thank you for sharing you story, it helps individuals have an outside perspective in their own situations. Thank you man!
currently struggling to sleep, it’s 5am and honestly these nightmares are scaring me. It’s been six days but I’m going to push thru and better myself this year - thanks for doing this video it helped me a lot
keep going brother. I love you
You got this keep the promise you set for yourself,you will feel better because you stayed true to yourself,I haven’t smoked in 5 months,i used to smoke all day for ten years and finally have my life back so keep pushing
@@GodForbidDepression thankyou bro
Andy I’m so proud of you! This film is one of my favorites you’ve released to date. So much emotional impact, great storytelling, creative scenes.
Not only that but it’s inspiring to me, even though I don’t smoke. This made me think about the unhealthy coping mechanisms and unhealthy mindsets in my own daily life. Thanks for sharing your journey fam

Yo Andy, your journey towards wellness and coming home to your body is not only inspiring but a tremendous feat given you’ve come from the dirty thirties in the town!! You are absolutely right, healing is a life long journey especially for folks who grew up in a war zone like Oakland. Glad you’re on your way brotha! So much wisdom on this video. Thank you for your vulnerability. Sending love, light and ease from the the Town!! #aypaldays #townbizz #yeeeeeeee!

Thank you for creating this homie! Today is day one for me again, I've been a toker from dawn to dusk since I was a kid. For everyone going through it right now, just keep going. It's a journey!
I'm trying to give it all up this year - I've been trying to drop it for the last few years, it's a process and journey for sure. Big respect to you bro and that's a beautiful video!
This is powerful dude. If anyone is struggling with addiction, take it day by day. I’ve honestly never been an addict of drugs but know many people who are and don’t forget you’re loved 🖤
You addict to 🥒🥒🥒
Day 18 of quitting weed. Been smoking for a decade. Smoking really heavily the past 3 years due to Covid and stress.
It’s so painful since I was escaping all my responsibilities and using weed as a crutch and always neglecting all the things to be done. My family. My kid.
I’m on the journey to soberness, but all the emotions I was escaping is hitting me like ocean waves. It’s hard right now. So painful.
Thanks for your testimony. It gives me comfort to keep treading on.
God bless you brother.
I’m glad I’m not alone because I know once I stop I’m going to feel everything that people did to me that hurt me that I didn’t feel because I’ve been smoking everyday 24/7z
This is the champ right here, inspiration, commitment. Thank you brother.
Bro thank you for this . Seriously , from edits to the context to vulnerability . Thank you 🙏🏽
This came at the perfect time for me, been off weed for the past 3 days, and taking this video as another sign I needed to continue a cleanse as well. Thank you for producing the type of content that's missing but NEEDED. Also coming from the bay, experiencing trauma, and going through the healing process I and many others appreciate the vulnerability for showing us the process and progress. You never cease to amaze with your work, Andy!
Hope youre powering through it Jess. Sending good energy your way you got this 🔋
Hope your still clean bro keep it up
Hey I'm 3 days in. What's ur score now
2 days in
I'm on three days also.
Broooo mad proud of you my guy!!! I’ve been sober for about 5 years now and my brother is on the same journey too. Like you said it’ll have it’s ups and downs but cultivating healthy coping and healing processes then you’ll feel your level up! Much love my guy and keep pushin! #yeeeee
Really needed to hear this perspective. The creative touch you added to this video really resonated with me. I am 4 days into my journey, and seeing this video only reassured me that what I’m doing is for the best. Thank you brother ❤
Thanks bro, really needed this. More power to everyone on this journey, stay strong.
My God are you an amazing videographer, photographer, and visual artist. I've watched about 10 quit weed videos and yours by far is the most amazing presentation yet. You're very talented. Straight.
I appreciate you for making this video. Not enough people talk about their weed addiction and their process of getting over it. I've stopped a few times in my life and can say those were some of the most focused times I've ever had. Weed makes me complacent and that's not what I want out of life. Although I still smoke now and live with people who do it makes it harder to quit but I'm seeing on my horizon that it won't be consistent.
This is so relatable. I’ve been smoking since I was 15. But I’ve been having this thought that I want to quit but my body keeps going to it. Proud that you could push through. That means I can too. 👏🏽
I haven't tracked my days, but I've been doing something similar. This is beautiful and I'm proud of you. Thank you for sharing this.
Been thinking about quitting, I started smoking daily around 14, I’m almost 25 now. I wasn’t expecting it but this video made me emotional fr, I started getting a crazy urge to go light up while watching this, and I just realized I do actually have a problem.. it’s crazy when you’re a kid every one tells you you can’t get hooked and there’s no negative effects. I hope now that it’s getting researched more, there can start being some warnings for the young guys that it’s not something to do all day every day
Nah fr bro I been smoking since 16 I am now 23 who just got back into wasted all my savings sitting at home smoking now got near to no money to last me and no job and just on the verge off losing everything, it sucks once I am smoking I forget but the stuff I need to do
I'm 37 now.... Weed isn't fun anymore and it will become a cage
@@djswirleysame man, hope shi got better yo way
@@MetatronRR haha nope but today is my last day I fell into another weee cycle taking over my life but i am quitting after these 2 joints I got rolled up and then from tomorrow Monday going to sort my life out , but i appreciate the check up homie the weed is a big issue in my life
@@djswirley I feel that fasho😢I quit td too so ima see what happens
Currently just met my first week milestone of quitting. I used it as a crutch as well, now that I've stopped, all the feelings and pain I was suppressing had me defeated, but I still got through it without the need of mj. Gotta stay positive and realize that it is possible. Glad to come across this video, there's not many vids out there as vulnerable, relatable, and inspiring as this. Thank you. Please do an updated video if you can.
Thank you for talking so much about the creative side cause this is the #1 reason why I’m stopping. I picked up smoking to deal with some very traumatic situations but yeah coping is different then healing. Thank you!!! ✨
Lots of people need to hear this. I'm so thankful I did. Excellent work
Mad respect to you for this man. Super inspiring, deeply insightful, and seriously worth celebrating. You’re dope bro!
nah bro this video and your journey are beautiful… always been a huge fan of your work but these videos that dig deep into where your heads at make me appreciate your transparency even more. keep doing yo thing bro❤️
Thank you for making this video❤️ I’m on day 7 and struggling but your story is so relatable and let’s me know I can do it, I just have to keep going!
Who would have thought that a 68 year old Canadian woman living in the woods could relate so well with a young asian UA-camr. You just described my situation perfectly. My life is nothing but routine any more and my creativity is feeling kind of fake. Thanks, Andy. I have some things to think about.
A young 'asian' UA-camr is wild
@@RileyBanksWhothat caught me off guard, as if his race mattered at all.
@@applepretz5368 Asians have their own culture. Black people have their own culture. White women up in Canada got her own.

I can relate heavy to everything you said, I've also been doing it everyday for the past 25 years and Its really tough man... I'm currently still going through it all, with the urges to re-up just to smoke. I really hope come out victorious in the end, cause imma hope the same for me even though I'm starting to lose faith in myself.
Dude! The most beautiful editing I've ever seen!!
Coping is not healing
You killed it.
Thank you so much for your honesty and making this not be so shameful. I'm starting my journey after smoking daily for too many years. It's truly changed my whole personality and it's time to clear the smoke. Wish you all the best on your journey
Ahh yeah, I’m definitely about to tap in and peep this.. Preciate you documenting this..🤞🏾🙏🏾 kudos to you as well for the accomplishment..🙏🏾 keep it up..🔑
Well done mate. I’m approaching my 3rd week and it’s like the insomnia has truly peaked. I’m finding this week harder than the first and second. But I’m motivated to keep going in order to reach the other side.
Thank you for opening up Andy. This helped me out a lot! Time for some new patterns
Super vulnerable and practical and unbiased! Good for you, this helped me!
Thanks for your video ... l turn 50 in march 24 & I've been stoned since 1988 , l started smoking at 14 and the longest I've ever gone without is about 10 days and that was about 20 years ago. I decided 30 days ago to just stop and your right it's a rough ride man really rough , l went through a bad break up 12 months ago and l decided l just want to better myself , I'm also a musician and have always used the excuse that weed makes me play guitar and sing better so l didn't stop . Well I'm 30 days clean today and played a gig last night and had so much fun my playing was great my voice is sounding better I'm holding notes longer and people noticed that l look happy and l now know it can only get better .. apart from that the dreams are insane I'm getting chased and arguing every night and sometimes I've woken in tears but I'm not going back to the weed ... l gotvthis l keep telling myself and just keep reminding myself it's for the better .. l even got myself a dog from rescue to keep me company now that mj has left and I'm starting to feel great 👍
Hope everything is going great on your journey troy
I've been smoking since 16. 29 now. Every day. I want to quit, but the excuses are many. The nightmares suck.
Thanks for the motivation.
Brooooo!!! I’m in tears watching this video.. mehn!!! I feel you bro. Same struggles. Similar stories 😢 thank you for this video, you’ve lifted my spirits, I’m moving from Germany to Denmark 30may 2023. I’m dropping that habit..
I'm here on day 4 and feeling like I'm dying. I found this video randomly and I know now that I can do this. Thank you so much. This is literally like a hug through the screen. This video was needed. It was necessary. Just.... thanx, bro.
Day 2 and I’m not liking this at all. So emotionally ugh
You’re amazing for this bro. I’ve been smoking for 4-5 years and progressively upping the amount over the years. I relate so much with everything you felt and said. I’m 3 days sober for the first time in all those years. Even on vacation, I would have it. Now, I’m going through some pretty hard withdrawals just as you did. It makes me want to just stop the sickness by hitting a bowl but this video encouraged me to go another day. I don’t know if I’ll make it 90 days or not but I do know that this decision was meant to happen. Mad respect bro. Thank you.
Relapse does happen in recovery. You just gotta jump on that wagon and trying again! Much luck you to you on your journey. May your will be stronger than any temptation.
Bruh, this one hits harder than any blunt ever could. Big ups for the courage and time you put into this video, as well as your successful journey 🙌 here’s to clarity!
Damn, perfect timing. Thank you for sharing your journey Andy.
Grateful for you sharing your story with honesty and grace! I am just past month 6 and I feel you! Thanks for the ongoing inspiration and shared human experience ❤
Appreciate you being transparent with us. Keep inspiring, good sir. You're doing an excellent job.
Super happy for you man. Thank you for this video. It really does help knowing I’m not alone in this. About to be 2 months for me soon. So definitely excited to get to that 90 day threshold. My fitness goal is to lose 100 lbs I’m currently at 285 and would love to get under 200 especially because I’m 5’9 it hasn’t been east but it is worth it for sure 🙏🏼💪🏽
This really hit home for me. I’ve noticed that I also had a few distractions that I unconsciously used to interrupt myself from getting into the flow of life. I consciously started to remove those things and man, my mind has been in withdrawal mode. Didn’t realize how much I’ve been addicted to distractions and things that are not beneficial to real growth…. But this video has been a great reminder that I’m on the right path. Thanks for this and your content Andy!!!!
Thanks for making this man i found it exactly when i needed it.
Thank you! This video is everything I need right now. I’m on day three. Been blazing daily for over 20 years. This is the second time I’ve watched it this video. I appreciate the challenge. I wish I didn’t have this weird fear of never smoking chronic again. I can’t wait to see what’s on the other side. We got this!!
It’s been a day since I stopped and the nightmare occurred instantly, but I want everyone to look at the future in comparison to the time frame that you’ll take to recover if you don’t quit and how much more antagonizing it will be.
Stay strong ladies and gents, were in this together💪🏾
Day 2👍🏾
Day 3, emotional roller coaster fasho🥲
Stay strong man, Im on my day 4 and the anxiety is really fucked
@@filiperodriguescorreia8058 I understand how you feel and I felt the same way but I’m glad you’re staying consistent. Just keep in mind that you’re not losing anything but instead gaining your mental health🙏🏾
This is facts tho I got to start now , my future can be so bright but weed and My relationship with weed is messed and completely ruining my life 😊
I’m gonna come back to this. You and I are extremely similar and so are our stories. You’re well spoken, and this just spoke to me a ton.
3 weeks clean. Feeling good, both those nightmares are crazy vivid. Great vid man.
this is my new comfort video. i’ve made the decision to take a big break tonight and i reckon i’ll come back to this multiple times to keep me going strong. really inspiring shit! ❣️
Wow just wow! I never been so excited in my life. The reason why I say this because I have been wanting to quit but never had the courage too. I was already coping with weed too DEEP! But you have really inspired to quit after 12years since I was 15. I’m 27! I really believe that it is people like you who help people (HELP PEOPLE) ❤ Thank you Andy To!
You got this Tyniquee 🌊
Did you come back to smoking again?
The first video where I could really. Relate with the struggles you went through while trying to quit unfortunately I haven’t been strong enough to kick my habit yet but it’s good to know its something more people go through. Thank you man.
Thank you for this man. This is the video I’ve been looking for
Im on my day 10 now. I can relate to everything what u are saying. I wont give up and i know that there are brighter days coming.
Yesterday 08/12 was my official 3 months without smoking. Like you said it's crazy the nightmares that come with detoxing, I was having a nightmare like every other day of getting shot or of shooting someone. Now I've been good, it still trips me out to think I had been smoking almost every day if not every other day for 10+ years. Good shit man stay with it.
Really appreciate this. My day 1 is starting tomorrow and I hope this motivates me to do bigger and better things like you. Keep doing what you’re doing man thank you
So did u start?
Thank you for being real and sharing your experience. It’s validating to hear others say it’s addictive because it absolutely is.
I thank you for this, I am 60 days smoke-free. I was a heavy user 😔, I lost my job of 7 years so I have to quit to get a new job. I am having the vivid crazy dreams daily when I can finally get to sleep. ( Insomnia bad) and these nightmares are like movies. I just tested myself tonight (60 day mark) and I am still positive. " 6'5, 226lbs" I was feeling so bad that I am still showing positive. I guess I am going to have to wait another 30 days to test myself again. Your words brought me comfort. Once I get through this I don't plan on smoking ever again. Honestly. I feel like I put my family in a terrible situation because I wasn't responsible and thought about the what if's due to my Complacency. So thank you I needed to hear this tonight. 🙏
Keep going my guy . You got this 🙏🏾
How's it going?
Holy shit, who knew 60 days and one can still pop positive. Not I my friend. Embrace the terror you feel. I know that sounds counter intuitive. Ride it out sober as steel is made this way. You are a family man, and that's a beautiful thing. The scariest times in my life are what scared me straight. God bless. It will all work out.
You got this Loren. Keep up the fight. That seems a long time to still test positive.
You made my day🫶
