The comments help, misery loves company. My only withdrawal symptoms is a boredom from hell. But it only lasts 3 to 4 days, thank God. On my second day again, had to stop buying because of finances. Watching these videos and reading the comments to stay strong. We can overcome together
I want to quit because I want to be more aware of my safety, respect myself, take care of my health, improves my mood , better financially, I will make better decisions, prioritize the right things and manage my time much better. Have better energy and focus. I consume because I want to feel good, get bored and have a hard time having a fun. It makes it easier for me to have fun and socialize. I also like that I feel more in tune with sensations in my body.
22 years old, chemistry and biology student. It’s my dream to be a doctor but I’ve struggled with marijuana addition for the last 4 years. I start school in a week and I’m trying my absolute hardest, I really hope everyone struggling with this is able to overcome it. Thank you so much for making these videos.
Hey man im 27 smoked way mire than you. If i can oull of quitting and slowly enduring the whitdrawals and everytbing else comes with it. Heres a comment you guys are not alone were all in this. You have to be super intentional and say NO MORE. And yes you gotta endure a bit.
Microbio major here. Marijuana is not bad for you in a moderation amount in fact it’s good for your mental health if you not abusing it. This miss information about thc is really mind boggling when you have all the resources to see what this magical plant can do for people who have MS or cancer.
I'm on day 28 of cold turkey no weed no cigarettes no drinking so far these videos have been true and helped me tremendously I'm grateful although I'm still having withdrawals I'm still going strong I just can't wait to feel normal again my anxiety still bothers me my appetite is back I get sleep at night no cravings but this anxiety is with worse and these dreams are bananas.
I’m up to day 6 of no weed and day 4 of no nicotine and I’m so grateful for you because whenever I get an intense craving I just watch one of your vids to remind myself to stay sober and keep fighting
I did relapse on weed as I was moving home but back to 5 days without weed and I’ve honestly lost count of how many days nicotine free but it’s definitely over a month haha
I am very happy that you've made a good progress. I've been smoking week since 3 years now and I've made a decision to quit the substance. I am very curious to know how's your battle going on and please give me some tips so that I don't get relapsed again.
Why I smoke weed? 1.Boredom-but this causes Isolation-feeling alone 2.Just because: needs discipline 3. Relaxes me: so nicely BUT that it stops me in all my motivation to get things done. Therefore yes addiction is a vicious circle until I decide no more! It’s a choice I am about to make because me too, am sick and tired to keep lying to myself. I am ready for the challenge. These videos are just the best!
Day 11 no weed, no caffeine. I rarely drink alcohol, maybe a beer with tacos once every 2-3 weeks, a glass of wine maybe once a month if even... so not too worried about that. Not my main issue that was destroying my life. I was a daily weed smoker for 15 years, when my husband died 2.5 years ago, I just went off the rails, I was smoking at 7:30am, constantly stoned. I don't regret it to be honest, it helped me cope with everything in my life, but I knew I was abusing it and just did not want to do anything about it. It was tough as hell the first week, but here I am... there is light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope this anxiety and worry about not having money/not knowing to take care of my son will slowly go away. I also hope I start to feel better and more positive. I feel overwhelmed and "blah", but I am determined to get my life back. How, I have no idea, but I trust that the journey will eventually show the way. Excellent video, you are absolutely helping me get through this, I am so grateful to you.
Sounds like the mind needs alot of work . Your a mother that doesn't know how to take care of children. Have you bee MIA growing up or just a walking mushburger
@joannelonita Hope you are doing well. You story touched me because it is so close to my own. I also lost my husband and I share your fears. I feel like I may understand some of the reasons why you smoked. I’m almost a week sober from cannabis. I just wanted to send you support! We can do this!
45 mother of 4. (4 different dads). Single again for 4 years. I love smoking weed. I stopped for a month. It is hard. Couldn't sleep for weeks. This is get better. I stopped tobacco yesterday. It is hard . I don't want to smoke anymore. Thanks for that.
i’ve used weed to cope with depression for the last 3 years. i quit two weeks ago due to a hospital visit because of chs. i was on my way to pick up some bud as my psychological symptoms have gotten worse when i came across his video about the cure to CHS. i turned my car around and went home, he saved me from relapse today. i am going to get better and stop listening to the addict side of my brain. all those feelings of hopelessness and like things won’t get better is the drug talking. my brain is not the problem. thank you so so much. this channel is going to help me GREATLY in the next few months.
thanks for your work. i've been smoking marijuana since 1996, i'm now 45 years old and although i've used a lot of different types of drugs, marijuana has always been my drug of choice and i thought it was harmless until a few years ago. i can do without drugs, but without marijuana it's very difficult. it's been 7 years of struggle to give up this addiction. It's been months without, followed by relapses, but the truth is that I haven't managed to get rid of it completely so far. and you're absolutely right, I don't like it anymore, the feeling isn't good, it increases my anxiety, sometimes I have a panic attack, every time I smoke that voice comes and says “why did you do that, it's not good” your content is incredible, you're helping me a lot and I'm going to succeed. Marijuana has negatively impacted all areas of my life, all of them. Thank you Doc and keep up your work you are saving lives. a big hug and best wishes from Brazil.
I just found your channel. 40yr old been smoking 16yrs. I honestly love weed and don't want to quit but it's messing with my brain (weird adverse feelings of shuttering) and i don't get high anymore, just a crummy stoned. I'm 2 days sober and and hoping this time works with the advise of this channel.
I just wanted to share my experience since i found others to be so comforting. My withdrawal has been hell the last 3 days. Non stop panic attacks. Extreme nausea and vomitting. Now on day 4 the anxiety is slowly lifting and i was able to keep down a smoothie today. If your are going through it, know you are not alone and it will get better. I am not out of it yet, but i can slowly see the light.
Mannnn I done watched pt 1 3 timesss 😭😭😭😭 nah man I’m a week sober from alcohol marijuana and ecstasy. Your a huge help for me man but these withdrawals are kicking my ass 🤦🏾♂️. You are a huge help man anytime I have an urge to do anything I just watch this video right here and it helps so much. Please keep it up man please.
26 hours sober and reading other comments is really helpful . I'm going down the sobriety rabbit hole and the more i do , the more i wanna quit for good.
I smoked from 16 to 24 like crazy. In these 8 years I smoked at least 3 grams a day. A grower friend of mine who grew for dispensaries gave me a pound of weed once and I smoked it in 6 weeks. When I wanted to stop I thought I was the biggest addict of all and I thought it’s gonna be hell. Some of these videos made me even more sure of it. But when I actually did it, it was so much easier than I thought! Don’t tell yourself it’s gonna be impossible. The most important part is that you want it. Keep the positive things about it in mind and stay strong in hard times. If I was able to do it, you can too💪🏽
Broo, same. I started smoking weed at like 17 and now im 23, super addicted to thc, cant even eat or get a boner without smoking weed first. This shit is terrible, its time to stop!
@@kylenakamura4959what made me quit was 1. It got expensive 2. Scurrying away to the dispo when I was out 3. I want to work and they require drug testing 4. brain fog and mental sharpness 5. I feel like I don't need it and want to change my situation for the better. Family is motivation aswell as the possibility of a better healthy future for myself. Started smoking weed 12 - 16, 20-24
I quit weed and alcohol when my son was born a little over 4 months ago. I was a weed smoker for roughly 13 years, and a drinker on and off for almost 16. And after 4 months I'm still a mess. The first two months were pure hell. Couldn't sleep, didn't want to eat unless it was junk. But I still had to act calm and be there for my son. My body and brain have developed around these things, but my son deserves a sober me. It's been like coming back into the world as my son comes into the world for the first time. I just keep telling myself that it takes time because it's been a part of my life for so long. I'm glad your channel exists. It does help.
@@fact6360 Going on 11 months no weed or alcohol (or anything else). It's a lot easier to sleep now. My appetite is better, and I'm feeling good and having fun from normal things like watching movies, listening to music, or just laughing with my son. I've always been a depressive type and an introvert. Weed helped me and so did alcohol, but for the first time in my adult life I feel like I'm okay as just me. It hurt to get here, but I'm so glad I gave it up.
@@derifatuga12 And thank you for that. It definitely isn't easy for a lot of people, and I think it should be acknowledged just how impossible it can seem to do without it for some people.(myself included)
hey dr frank, you probably won't read this but i just want to thank you for everything youve done for me and countless others. im on hour 48 of no weed and boy has it been a struggle but keeping your videos on a loop and knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel is so huge for me. thank you and dont ever stop grinding
I do read you bro! Being sober is the best feeling you can get, don't give up, just push push push, throw away all your stash! don't ever forget about why you quit, what is your objective, keep it up yo!!
I started smoking weed since my teenage. Got addicted to Crack for over 23 years. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without crack, cocaine,alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable 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 know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I’m going to be 52. Been smoking pot since high school. Chronically as an adult my whole life. It was fun at first but it’s long been a crutch for me for depression and lack of fulfillment in so many aspects of my life. It was a downward spiral. I’ve quit now after tapering off over past couple of weeks. I wasted so much time. But I don’t want to waste any more. I’ve done well finance but every other aspect of my life is empty. I’m committed to quitting. I need happiness and fulfillment in life. Even though I waited so long to do it.
3-5 times a day weed/tobacco smoker for 6 years, now day 10 weed free, day 2 nicotine free. I tried to stop both at once (not advised) still struggling with my gut big time but the anxiety has come down a lot, you're videos helped me rationalize the withdrawals and made that process possible for me. Thanks man 🙏 P.S ive already saved £60
Bro it's been hell I can't lie, if you can start by giving one of them up that'll make it possible but it's still awful 🥴 I'm still in the peak of the nic withdrawals but using some anti anxiety meds temporarily to get me through
I'm on day 3 right now of quitting weed I've relapsed several times , I currently smoke cigars(nic) as that's my next thing to combat as well as porn and caffeine but I plan on fighting one by one. Stay strong bro and remember to keep your word@@williamgsnelling
im 19 and ive been smokingg since I was in 7th grade g if you see my comment ive relapsed atleast 4-5 times just know you got this g and keep your word you can do this im in the same boat so I can say I feel somwhat similar@@benj4840
@@ChaseDizzie i have been to rehab for alcoholism, one of the persons working on the rehab facility, said that nicotine was quite hardest, i dont know you, but i am proud of you, if i quit weed i turn my life into god mode, but i fucked it up after 1,5 month without maryjane, smoked backrolls as the young says
@@ThermomixTm6Edition I hear alcohol is harder than weed and nicotine so I know you can win when you're ready. I relapsed once too, took the L, and kept going. Good luck on your journey bro, I know you got this. That's why you're here.
About 20 years of heavy daily use im going on 72 hrs and dont plan on going back ever which i thought before was impossible i don't know if i could have done it without this channel GOD BLESS YOU Doctor Frank
First attempt: Made it 49 days. Second attempt: 65 Days. Third attempt: Day 23 currently. Got to get to 90 this time. First couple weeks have been easy for me each time then 20-50 anhedonia hits
I binged watched your two guides that you have uploaded so far and I just want to say thank you for the work you’ve done. It’s only been 2 days for me in my journey to sobriety. But this really made me opened my eyes to actually quit for good this time around. It’s time.
Hey bro i started 5bdays ago exactly when you make this comment. Were all in this together f addiction and yes to life and real experience sober. Good luck bro check in here if you comment and stuff more
12 days and going strong. Nightmares are crazy, surprisingly no night sweats. I’m able to sleep well overall because of all the exercise I’ve been doing to stay busy. Anxiety has decreased about 8X and starting to have much clearer mind and positive outlook on life. It’s been tough but definitely focusing on the positive side of the withdrawals and how eventually they will all go away.
@@lemueljirizarryogino9609 exactly the same here thankfully im recovering faster than the usual. No more anxiety and sweats left. Night sweating was the worst. Insomia for me lasted one day only. Anxiet and overthinking DONT EXIST ANYMORE ITS SOOO MUCH FREEING CONTINUE BRO. Yes stay busy af.
Almost 7 days no weed and i’m here. Im 21 years old and starter smoking 5 years ago. I couldnt see when occasional friday fun became more often and turned to weed addiction so strong that I smoked few times a day, literally be always on high more or less. For long time qanted to quit but keep loosing at it that i almost have no fun of smoking but must do it. Im happy that i see the light in the tunnel now, cause there was moments i thought i will quit never. Today was the hardest day couldnt sleep and feeled stroniły depressed all day, but i dont want to smoke becouse i realised it makes me more depressed in bigger picture even i feel good just after smoking. Beware of weed addiction, it seems like a fun for Young peaople but after years it just depression and hardest addiction to quit.
Waste of $250. If someone really care, they would do it for free. Don’t say they have to have it to pay for resources in order to help. If anyone just had $250, they wouldn’t be here in the first place.
@@tanneredge9774bro no . See I’m not gonna be hateful . But just saying many people can help some people wanna earn money also it’s okay don’t be negative
1:07:04 about the gym is so relatable for me. It's 7/26/24 and I'm 5 weeks sober from THC. I used to go to the gym 4-5 days a week but now I'm no longer motivated to go and my body feels weaker when I'm lifting weights. I must move forward!
Smoking for 7 years, addicted for 4. I quit for 3 months a year ago and was finally free of cravings and was enjoying things again. Decided to smoke once and had a very intense experience where I realized I didn't need it and that it wasn't supposed to be something you do every day. I didn't listen though and went back. Now I'm back trying to quit again. At this point none of my friends smoke and I barely enjoy it anymore, it's just a numbing thing.
Yeah think like you’re not losing anything by quitting marijuana, rather you’re gaining a lot of things. You are in control. You don’t need that “high” anymore. You can be happy, calm, content and most importantly free of anxiety!! Isn’t that good enough? I’m quitting weed and its been a couple of days but I know I’m gonna get it out of my life for good!
I feel you! I smoked 33 years and I know it’s time to let it go and not go back after this clean up. Use to puff weed as a coping mechanism but abused it smoking it everyday. The weed now is strong so I understand why the withdrawal is so strong. We all in this together STAY STRONG and tell Mary Jane I’m out this relationship boo!
Day 3, I been listening to you for about a month and I appreciate you so much. I am 38 and I been smoking 6-7 blunts a day for 20 years. Thank you for setting free. And I REALLY appreciate your tone in this video. I felt like it was a supportive friend scolding me telling me to stop playing around and love yourself so you can be happy. Thank you
I started at 16 and became a chronic smoker from the get go. I am now 29 and have "successfully" smoked for almost 15years now. The tension in my back muscles from cannabis induced anxiety and paranoia is insufferable. Living in a country where it is illegal only furthers those since we literally have to resort to thugs in order to get it. I feel so fed up and tired of lying to myself and pretending it is a harmless drug that I decided to finally quit. I have been off of it for about 10 days now and I already feel better just because of the plight of the withdrawal effects because I know that the bliss is waiting for me after I get rid of it all out of my system.
How are you doing, man? I also have insane cannabis induced anxiety, crazy muscle tensions in my left chest muscle, and night terrors. Currently on day 6 sober. When will these tensions go away?
I’m 29 years old, been smoking All day everyday for my entire life. Quit two days ago (day before Thanksgiving) and it’s kicking my ass. But this video is SO informative and helpful. Withdrawals hit me hard af, but confirmation of what’s happening to me and knowing I’m not alone is Extremely helpful. Thank you for this video, Doc. I appreciate it very much. 💯💪🏻
Went 7 days productive and ran into an overwhelming day on day 8. Smoked a doobie but it ends there, this doesn’t mean I’ll relapse it’s simply a reminder as to why I quit. I am building emotional strength to deal with difficult situations. I’m back on my high horse because those first 7 days were proof to myself that it’s me who is in control. Next time an overwhelming situations comes about I’ll either take a walk or start cleaning whatever mess I can find around my environment 🙏
As someone who has struggled lifelong with various addictions, I appreciate your approach. I also dislike being labelled as "an alcoholic" or thinking that I am defective in character or that I need to spend the rest of my life attending meetings talking about drinking. Drinking isn't that great that it needs to be constantly relived. It's like, get a life and move on. I know it's a valuable social network, but it's also very cult like and there are a lot of toxic people there who don't actually grow. I have also met some great ones, but it's hard in early recovery to tell the difference when people are vulnerable. Good food, water, rest, exercise and an active life are the only "cure".
"I'm not a moderate person, I never was.." this did it for me. Thank you. Me too. ❤ Addiction can be a 💪 strength if its to the things that serve us best! Day 2 (for the hundredth time.) Im doing this! Thank you!!
@@ThermomixTm6Edition I only hit the bong a few times a day. Times are stressful right now for me so its definitely helping to chill me out and just exist in the moment.
You are a godsend. What an amazing resource for people struggling with weed addiction. Many people believe weed is not addictive, and that may be truefor some. But I think your content touches on the root cause of any addictive behavior. Trauma, neglect, and abuse contribute to addictions. For me, I am becoming more aware of my tendency towards feeling sad, regretful and worthless. Theses substances and behaviors help us feel better in the short run, but don't address the real reasons for our sadness, nor do they promote understanding yourself.
I quit alcohol 1,5 years ago. Feeling great about it. Now its time to give up weed. 11 years of smoking and Im really seeing the problem now. Thank you for this content. I ordered the Dopamine Nation book and really looking forward to the sober days. Take care everybody!
Lost my brother to an overdose a few months ago. Couldn't cry until I quit smoking weed. Holding on to that negative energy is as poisonous as any drug.
Day 2 of quitting goal is to not go back ever cause I know how easily I’ll start using daily. For some magical reason I started binge watching your videos and I’m realizing how much weed has been doing damage instead of benefiting me
some people can’t have substances in “moderation” due to having an addictive personality. i heard someone somewhere say “u better not go smoke a joint! some people can handle a joint, you cannot!” and it hit me in the reality. that was well over a year ago and im still navigating this road to recovery. im so grateful to have found your channel🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for these helpful videos. It's 3 days that I've quit smoking weed. And I'm really proud of myself because before even couldn't stop smoking for a couple hours. But now three days means a lot to me and from the second day , the big part of my mind is still pushing me to smoke. It keeps saying now that you can stop smoking for 3 days. It's enough. Start smoking and then you can quit whenever you want. But the thing is now I know this trick. I know myself. And I've made myself busy with more work. More readin. Mire Listening to music more outdoor activities like just walking in nature or talking to friends.
bro same i'm in the exact same situation, the addictive voice in my head is constantly trying to trick me into giving up and smoking again, saw that you made this comment 3 months ago, hows it going how long did u last??
Day 8 after 25+ years of daily use. So grateful for this channel and Dr. Frank. It helps so much that I enjoy your voice and kind, yet straightforward vibe ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@nusesteroide it’s been over two months now. First month was really hard, insomnia was the worst part. I’m sleeping better now than I have in Years. Feeling strong and in control of my life. More connected with family and friends. I’m feeling my cognitive function improving by the day. I don’t cough up black shit every morning anymore. I’m proud if myself, and I don’t want to take that away by going back to it. Thanks for asking :)
@@sonicboom4732 so much better. Ty. When you’re actually ready, you’ll do it. You gotta get real tired of your own BS first. Like REAL tired. Then you gotta suffer through withdrawals, knowing it’ll get better each day. Don’t give up on yourself.
I just want to say thank you so much for making this free and accessible to anyone. This video has helped me massively in quitting weed - the advice you give is absolutely fantastic sir.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 345 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Brilliant masterclass in Addiction. I'm on day 4 and so friggin' motivated to recover after listening to him. 33 years of constant inebriated and I'm finally doing it. Max props and respect for this channel!
Dr. Frank I'm so thankful for you; I'm in day 56 thc free (after 464 prescribed days of mmu flower for the anexiety, and a lifetime of thc addiction) now almost comlpete with 'getting my job back 83 modules of study, writing and the test to get back to work - I couldn't keep the job before having lost three in the year on the addictive prescription. I am so grateful for your truth honesty business and guidance. Blessings, Ren
30 min in and you’re already helping me. Wrote down 13 reasons why I want to stop and only have 4 reasons to smoke 1 of which is a contradiction to me wanting to stop. Also what you said about addiction being a lack of discipline is cool kinda feels like it gives me my power back in a way. You didn’t misadvertise by saying you have tools. You can give us tools but only we can choose to use them. You’re doing your part now we have to do our. As simple as that
Thank you for this, I have finally realised that being sober is the way I need to be to finally feel myself and give my life a chance. I am only 3 minutes in but I have high hopes
@@deanbedetti5375 I can’t wait and Dr. Frank nailed it with the types of weed users. I’m the one that just doesn’t get any pleasure out of it anymore and it’s time to move on. It’s worth it to just not ever smoke again because weed also causes me anxiety at first then I will want some later leading to me smoking all day again. Screw this I’m done
Dr. Frank, you are an incredible human. To take the time to provide this resource along with the hundreds of other videos that have helped me in the past. THANK YOU!! You are helping so many.
I cold turkey quit this shit nov 14th after 7 years of being an all day every day Smoker . 2 1/2 years ago I quit drinking alcohol cold turkey after being a heavy drinker every day for the better part of eight years. I replaced the booze with Weed.. to me at the time it was definitely the lesser of two evils. To quit the weed It was a combination of education and God. Now I’m completely sober and I will never go back.!!! Nothing will ever make me smoke or drink ever ever again. Thank you Jesus !
Well well well, I am officially 24 hours without weed and about 4 days without nicotine! Feeling good today but it could all be different tomorrow, but I will not falter. Time to stop making excuses. Even after all the relapses I’ve had. I will keep fighting the battle til I win. Thanks Dr. Frank.
Been trying to quit weed since January. Have come across your vids several times just never actually watched. EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID IS SO RIGHT!!! I’m tired of hearing myself say today is the day tomorrow is the day! And Im just trying to quit smoking weed. Ur right. It’s boring. I’m watching all of your vids now!!! You really can tell you have been through it. Sorry I judged you and didn’t open myself up to listen until today. I was missing out.
God is what led me to quit too. He convicted me. Tbh I cried about it once during this withdrawal and just asked for his forgiveness. For him to give me strength. God is all we need in life and the rest of our life will fall into place. Hope your holding on strong
Been smoking for the best part of 20 years now on and off. I have to say that your channel is such a valuable resource to all those struggling. Thank you for all you do. You bring hope n help me reframe things when all seems lost. Not all heros wear capes. Thank you so much
Quit for 4 months and I loved my sober me… started smoking again hated it but somehow convinced myself that I enjoyed it again… I got this shit, day 1 again
Just stop! You really need to want it, you need the motivation, whatever it might be. Smoked for 15 years, everyday, the whole day. I always thought I couldn't stop. But then I had no money anymore and for the first time I REALLY wanted to quit. Paying the med bills for my dog, to save her, was more important for me. I had the motivator and just stopped without any problems. I realized that the only reason I had never quit was because I never really wanted to and told my self BS like "I can't, I need it, I go crazy without and can not sleep". Turned out nothing of it was true.
Thank you so much Frank. I started watching your videos a few months back.. im almosy 60 days free on nicotine and i feel even more empowered to quit weed. This channel is awesome thank you
One of the lines that trully hit a spot for me: "Gotta learn how to celebrate sober!" THIS.... to me sounds impossible at the moment, but only because it resonates so much with me. Definitely something to keep in mind.
“addiction makes the most uncomfortable comfort zone” sir thank you for giving me this incredibly powerful language i can use to remind myself why i want and need to quit. truly hate this comfort zone i’ve trapped myself in. thank you for these tools.
Let’s Go! I’m with you! I’m 27 and been smoking daily for past 3 years. I completed Day 1 and I’m very very motivated to quit weed forever! It helps when you have someone to motivate you. You can text your progress with quitting weed here. I will too! That helps. Let’s get it out of our life!😃
I was so unconscious about the reason I was addicted to weed, I didn't even think I was addicted. Thank you so much for your videos. I've wanted to quit for years. I'm actually taking steps now finally.
57:00 - 1:05:00 was so key for me in understanding why my withdrawal has been so difficult My mood, my energy, my stability everything is out of whack. Thank you
I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work you're doing Dr. Frank. I've been an active user for the last 7 years or so, and I've only had one successful period of time without using (with help from your vids). I'm trying again for hopefully the last time now and your videos have been beyond helpful in helping me view quitting in a positive light. Thank you!!
Sound just like me. Been smoking for the same time and had a full 7 days weed free a few months ago. Had my best friend and only friend of 12 years die. My dog. And I have been in such a rut. It hurts so much. I just want to numb everything. But that's pointless. It won't help me In the end. I need to focus on improving myself. We are stronger than we think. We got this.
@@DrewMoore-eb7icyou are 100% stronger than you think. I am sorry to hear that news, but as you know smoking won’t change it, only worsens it. Props on 7 days
@@AddictionMindsetYour channel is golden ! Trying to quit weed after 9 months of smoking. I made a decision and today is my first day. And you dropping this videos and oh my good it’s kinda sign for me !! I will watch it tomorrow and hope it will help me to go through this 💪🏻 You also was one of the reason who made me think that I really need to quit. At least non-stop smoking like I did.
I’ve been a thc and nicotine junky for 40 of my 56 years. No attempt at sobriety has lasted for longer than 8 months. Watching you I’ve learned about dopamine and what happens inside the brain. This time I feel incredible hope and optimism because I have been feeding my brain with high fat carnivore food. My whole self, my sleep, my emotional stability, all of it - restored in a month. This has never been the case before. My advise is to look into carnivore diet and eat a lot of fat. I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been and I know it’s because of what I put in my mouth. Surely I’ve worked for many years on understanding my soul and working out things like that but it’s never been enough to hold me together and up without the proper high fat nutrient dense carnivore diet.
I have been smoking for 30 years I prayed a novena for saint Joseph and asked the sacred heart of Jesus and Mary for strength and mercy I woke up one morning and I just couldn't smile anymore! I didn't miss it even for a second and I am 1 2 months free of this substance that almost destroyed my life many times. If you are a weed smoker I pray for you to stop ❤❤❤ thank You Lord thank You Holy spirit ❤❤❤
Great video and advice. I tried everything to stop smoking cigarettes, and nothing worked, until I decided to meditate seriously. I think meditating 6-8 hours in a 16 hour day is mandatory if you want to minimize any discomfort from quitting. After a few days of practice, you'll stop feeling your entire body and float in under half hour. Do that for a week before quitting, whilst reducing your intake everyday. The relaxation is so intense, that you wonder why you didn't do this earlier. It also lasts for a couple of hours. This alone, will make a huge difference. It's very hard at the beginning as your mind won't stop yakking or losing concentration. Cutting the weed intake down is where meditation comes in. You'll naturally be pulled away from weed. I don't know what chemicals and stuff brain under meditation produces, but I can tell you it's potent. No wonder these monks are always meditating. I suggest "Brain Sync" series from Kelly Howell to learn how to meditate properly. You have to do it for 90 days minimum. After 21 days, you are free from physical addiction.
20 years old, been smoking weed since I was 8. I have wanted to stop smoking for so long but I never have had anyone to support me through it as everyone around me smokes weed or nicotine. I do not smoke nicotine for clarity sake. I’ve recently learned that all I need is my self and to make the decision to stop smoking. I’ve past 24hrs and onto 48hrs now, and I feel extremely motivated. My only problem at this point is finding ways to fill my new found time. It’s amazing the shift in perspective even after 24hrs. When high I feel as if there’s never enough time for anything. I can sit there and smoke for hours but yet feel like I have no time to do anything. Now however; it’s the complete opposite. I have limitless time and not enough to do. I have spent the day doing cleaning up my house and doing extra tasks that normally got skipped while smoking, and tomorrow I believe I’m gonna begin working out. Thank you for this video and all that you do ❤
Thank you for offering this for free. Had I come prior to when it wasn't, I would blame my bad luck and go smoke again. So, thank you, I appreciate you.
Holy s*it I havent even watched part 2 and 3 and this seminar sank so deep inside of my brain I gained the necessary determination to decide to fully quit 2 days ago. I know this first week will probably be the hardest but if you think quitting as a challenge, with the mindset you talk about in this video... man I'm so excited! THANK YOU FRANK!! I NEED BIGGER CAPSLOCK TO THANK YOU ENOUGH
Motivation is temporary, it's DRIVE that we all need because we only do the things we're motivated to do, if we're driven then we're going to get it done or get rid of it by any means necessary. I will be coming back to this video and part 2.
12 days in trying to fight through this anxiety etc making me want to go out and smoke. I’ve been pretty lucky and haven’t felt too bad so far, this feeling in my stomach is just bugging me. I’ve come to far to go back now!
Been a pot smoker for over 15 years, and a daily drinker for about 4. Day 4 without liquor amd day 2 without pot. Taking it one step at a time. Thank you for your videos
Today is new year's Eve and it's been more than 5 years that i try to stop. NO MORE FUCKING EXCUSES !!!! I TAKE BACK MY BODY AND SPIRIT !! Thank you for everything, thank you to do what you do, it's really helping people !! ❤❤❤ We are able to do it ! 🥰

The comments help, misery loves company. My only withdrawal symptoms is a boredom from hell. But it only lasts 3 to 4 days, thank God. On my second day again, had to stop buying because of finances. Watching these videos and reading the comments to stay strong. We can overcome together
How are you doing 7 months later? I’m on day two lol
You will be back smoking if the only reason you stopped was $
I want to quit because I want to be more aware of my safety, respect myself, take care of my health, improves my mood , better financially, I will make better decisions, prioritize the right things and manage my time much better. Have better energy and focus.
I consume because I want to feel good, get bored and have a hard time having a fun. It makes it easier for me to have fun and socialize. I also like that I feel more in tune with sensations in my body.
Respect to you brother 💪💪
22 years old, chemistry and biology student. It’s my dream to be a doctor but I’ve struggled with marijuana addition for the last 4 years. I start school in a week and I’m trying my absolute hardest, I really hope everyone struggling with this is able to overcome it. Thank you so much for making these videos.
college student here as well. in the same boat, we got this.
you got this! stay strong and every day you’ll feel better
Hey man im 27 smoked way mire than you. If i can oull of quitting and slowly enduring the whitdrawals and everytbing else comes with it. Heres a comment you guys are not alone were all in this. You have to be super intentional and say NO MORE. And yes you gotta endure a bit.
Microbio major here. Marijuana is not bad for you in a moderation amount in fact it’s good for your mental health if you not abusing it. This miss information about thc is really mind boggling when you have all the resources to see what this magical plant can do for people who have MS or cancer.
If you’re a biology student you should know your body is always trying to maintain homeostasis and thc/cbd encourage homeostasis.
Now the challenge is to watch a 1h30 video on how to quit weed without smoking weed

Here I am getting motivated while smoking Mary Jane… but I’m VERY close to smoke my last one, I’m 15min into the video

I'm on day 28 of cold turkey no weed no cigarettes no drinking so far these videos have been true and helped me tremendously I'm grateful although I'm still having withdrawals I'm still going strong I just can't wait to feel normal again my anxiety still bothers me my appetite is back I get sleep at night no cravings but this anxiety is with worse and these dreams are bananas.
day 1 of quit smoking weed. So thankful the Holy Spirit led me to this.

I’m up to day 6 of no weed and day 4 of no nicotine and I’m so grateful for you because whenever I get an intense craving I just watch one of your vids to remind myself to stay sober and keep fighting
How you. Doing with that These days ?
@zoo-wee-mama1689 yoo hows it going?
I did relapse on weed as I was moving home but back to 5 days without weed and I’ve honestly lost count of how many days nicotine free but it’s definitely over a month haha
I am very happy that you've made a good progress.
I've been smoking week since 3 years now and I've made a decision to quit the substance.
I am very curious to know how's your battle going on and please give me some tips so that I don't get relapsed again.
@@NamanRamchandraTiwarapply yourself to higher paying jobs/federal government jobs with drug tests
Why I smoke weed?
1.Boredom-but this causes Isolation-feeling alone
2.Just because: needs discipline
3. Relaxes me: so nicely BUT that it stops me in all my motivation to get things done.
Therefore yes addiction is a vicious circle until I decide no more!
It’s a choice I am about to make because me too, am sick and tired to keep lying to myself.
I am ready for the challenge. These videos are just the best!
Day 11 no weed, no caffeine. I rarely drink alcohol, maybe a beer with tacos once every 2-3 weeks, a glass of wine maybe once a month if even... so not too worried about that. Not my main issue that was destroying my life. I was a daily weed smoker for 15 years, when my husband died 2.5 years ago, I just went off the rails, I was smoking at 7:30am, constantly stoned. I don't regret it to be honest, it helped me cope with everything in my life, but I knew I was abusing it and just did not want to do anything about it.
It was tough as hell the first week, but here I am... there is light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope this anxiety and worry about not having money/not knowing to take care of my son will slowly go away. I also hope I start to feel better and more positive. I feel overwhelmed and "blah", but I am determined to get my life back. How, I have no idea, but I trust that the journey will eventually show the way. Excellent video, you are absolutely helping me get through this, I am so grateful to you.
🥲 I applaud you Joanne. Thanks for the share
@@AddictionMindset Thank you for such amazing support and wealth of information.

@joannelonita Hope you are doing well. You story touched me because it is so close to my own. I also lost my husband and I share your fears. I feel like I may understand some of the reasons why you smoked. I’m almost a week sober from cannabis. I just wanted to send you support! We can do this!

45 mother of 4. (4 different dads). Single again for 4 years. I love smoking weed. I stopped for a month. It is hard. Couldn't sleep for weeks. This is get better. I stopped tobacco yesterday. It is hard . I don't want to smoke anymore. Thanks for that.
i think u are good company, :)
i’ve used weed to cope with depression for the last 3 years. i quit two weeks ago due to a hospital visit because of chs. i was on my way to pick up some bud as my psychological symptoms have gotten worse when i came across his video about the cure to CHS. i turned my car around and went home, he saved me from relapse today. i am going to get better and stop listening to the addict side of my brain. all those feelings of hopelessness and like things won’t get better is the drug talking. my brain is not the problem.
thank you so so much. this channel is going to help me GREATLY in the next few months.
thanks for your work. i've been smoking marijuana since 1996, i'm now 45 years old and although i've used a lot of different types of drugs, marijuana has always been my drug of choice and i thought it was harmless until a few years ago. i can do without drugs, but without marijuana it's very difficult. it's been 7 years of struggle to give up this addiction. It's been months without, followed by relapses, but the truth is that I haven't managed to get rid of it completely so far. and you're absolutely right, I don't like it anymore, the feeling isn't good, it increases my anxiety, sometimes I have a panic attack, every time I smoke that voice comes and says “why did you do that, it's not good” your content is incredible, you're helping me a lot and I'm going to succeed. Marijuana has negatively impacted all areas of my life, all of them. Thank you Doc and keep up your work you are saving lives. a big hug and best wishes from Brazil.
I just found your channel. 40yr old been smoking 16yrs. I honestly love weed and don't want to quit but it's messing with my brain (weird adverse feelings of shuttering) and i don't get high anymore, just a crummy stoned. I'm 2 days sober and and hoping this time works with the advise of this channel.
Congrats!!! How far did you make it?
26 going on 27. I’ve been smoking weed routinely for nearly a decade. I’m ready to stop this addiction!!
You can do it! With the right help we all can. I have faith in us that even though it may get hard that we can stop smoking
im the same age, i feel the same
I'm exactly like you, this is my day 1
Same age and length of time for me aswell
@@ethichadebehow you doing
I just wanted to share my experience since i found others to be so comforting. My withdrawal has been hell the last 3 days. Non stop panic attacks. Extreme nausea and vomitting. Now on day 4 the anxiety is slowly lifting and i was able to keep down a smoothie today. If your are going through it, know you are not alone and it will get better. I am not out of it yet, but i can slowly see the light.
It was much easier for me by taking literally the smallest hit every 2 or 3 hours....it kept the edge off
@@thomasellis7782 i think thats the way to do, i think cold turkey fucks things up,

I am sober since 5 days planning to stay sober forever Thanks alot for your help
26 hours sober and reading other comments is really helpful . I'm going down the sobriety rabbit hole and the more i do , the more i wanna quit for good.
hows it going?
@@highwaltage he back on em drugz
I smoked from 16 to 24 like crazy. In these 8 years I smoked at least 3 grams a day. A grower friend of mine who grew for dispensaries gave me a pound of weed once and I smoked it in 6 weeks. When I wanted to stop I thought I was the biggest addict of all and I thought it’s gonna be hell. Some of these videos made me even more sure of it. But when I actually did it, it was so much easier than I thought! Don’t tell yourself it’s gonna be impossible. The most important part is that you want it. Keep the positive things about it in mind and stay strong in hard times. If I was able to do it, you can too💪🏽
What made you quit
Broo, same. I started smoking weed at like 17 and now im 23, super addicted to thc, cant even eat or get a boner without smoking weed first. This shit is terrible, its time to stop!
@@kylenakamura4959what made me quit was 1. It got expensive 2. Scurrying away to the dispo when I was out 3. I want to work and they require drug testing 4. brain fog and mental sharpness 5. I feel like I don't need it and want to change my situation for the better. Family is motivation aswell as the possibility of a better healthy future for myself. Started smoking weed 12 - 16, 20-24
Congratulations, but it is just not true that if you can do it so can everyone else.
Wow, incredible. 1 lb in 6weeks. That's a record
I quit weed and alcohol when my son was born a little over 4 months ago. I was a weed smoker for roughly 13 years, and a drinker on and off for almost 16. And after 4 months I'm still a mess. The first two months were pure hell. Couldn't sleep, didn't want to eat unless it was junk. But I still had to act calm and be there for my son. My body and brain have developed around these things, but my son deserves a sober me. It's been like coming back into the world as my son comes into the world for the first time. I just keep telling myself that it takes time because it's been a part of my life for so long. I'm glad your channel exists. It does help.
How are you now?
Thanks for this it’s hard hearing other people can come off it and be fine in 3 days. Don’t worry you’ve got this 💪🏾
@@fact6360 Going on 11 months no weed or alcohol (or anything else). It's a lot easier to sleep now. My appetite is better, and I'm feeling good and having fun from normal things like watching movies, listening to music, or just laughing with my son. I've always been a depressive type and an introvert. Weed helped me and so did alcohol, but for the first time in my adult life I feel like I'm okay as just me. It hurt to get here, but I'm so glad I gave it up.
@@derifatuga12 And thank you for that. It definitely isn't easy for a lot of people, and I think it should be acknowledged just how impossible it can seem to do without it for some people.(myself included)
hey dr frank, you probably won't read this but i just want to thank you for everything youve done for me and countless others. im on hour 48 of no weed and boy has it been a struggle but keeping your videos on a loop and knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel is so huge for me. thank you and dont ever stop grinding
I do read you bro! Being sober is the best feeling you can get, don't give up, just push push push, throw away all your stash! don't ever forget about why you quit, what is your objective, keep it up yo!!
Still no weed?
I started smoking weed since my teenage. Got addicted to Crack for over 23 years. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without crack, cocaine,alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms.Lsd and psilocybin are amazing teachers along its dmt mah dudes have safe trips all. Shrooms are blessings from nature.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable 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 know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I can do this. I believe in myself.
how did you go?
I believe in you
I’m going to be 52. Been smoking pot since high school. Chronically as an adult my whole life. It was fun at first but it’s long been a crutch for me for depression and lack of fulfillment in so many aspects of my life. It was a downward spiral. I’ve quit now after tapering off over past couple of weeks. I wasted so much time. But I don’t want to waste any more. I’ve done well finance but every other aspect of my life is empty. I’m committed to quitting. I need happiness and fulfillment in life. Even though I waited so long to do it.
3-5 times a day weed/tobacco smoker for 6 years, now day 10 weed free, day 2 nicotine free. I tried to stop both at once (not advised) still struggling with my gut big time but the anxiety has come down a lot, you're videos helped me rationalize the withdrawals and made that process possible for me. Thanks man 🙏
P.S ive already saved £60
Bro I’m trying to stop I’ve relapsed like 10+ times I smoke chop like you feel like it makes it that much harder hahaha tobacco and weed in a bong.
For like 3ish years almost daily atleast a gram
Bro it's been hell I can't lie, if you can start by giving one of them up that'll make it possible but it's still awful 🥴 I'm still in the peak of the nic withdrawals but using some anti anxiety meds temporarily to get me through

12 days and going strong. Nightmares are crazy, surprisingly no night sweats. I’m able to sleep well overall because of all the exercise I’ve been doing to stay busy. Anxiety has decreased about 8X and starting to have much clearer mind and positive outlook on life. It’s been tough but definitely focusing on the positive side of the withdrawals and how eventually they will all go away.
@@lemueljirizarryogino9609 exactly the same here thankfully im recovering faster than the usual. No more anxiety and sweats left. Night sweating was the worst. Insomia for me lasted one day only. Anxiet and overthinking DONT EXIST ANYMORE ITS SOOO MUCH FREEING CONTINUE BRO. Yes stay busy af.
Almost 7 days no weed and i’m here. Im 21 years old and starter smoking 5 years ago. I couldnt see when occasional friday fun became more often and turned to weed addiction so strong that I smoked few times a day, literally be always on high more or less. For long time qanted to quit but keep loosing at it that i almost have no fun of smoking but must do it. Im happy that i see the light in the tunnel now, cause there was moments i thought i will quit never. Today was the hardest day couldnt sleep and feeled stroniły depressed all day, but i dont want to smoke becouse i realised it makes me more depressed in bigger picture even i feel good just after smoking. Beware of weed addiction, it seems like a fun for Young peaople but after years it just depression and hardest addiction to quit.
I just scheduled a one on one with Dr. Frank. Im so excited! Im so tired of being a slave to pot!

1:07:04 about the gym is so relatable for me. It's 7/26/24 and I'm 5 weeks sober from THC. I used to go to the gym 4-5 days a week but now I'm no longer motivated to go and my body feels weaker when I'm lifting weights. I must move forward!
Smoking for 7 years, addicted for 4. I quit for 3 months a year ago and was finally free of cravings and was enjoying things again. Decided to smoke once and had a very intense experience where I realized I didn't need it and that it wasn't supposed to be something you do every day. I didn't listen though and went back. Now I'm back trying to quit again. At this point none of my friends smoke and I barely enjoy it anymore, it's just a numbing thing.
Y can do this!
Yeah think like you’re not losing anything by quitting marijuana, rather you’re gaining a lot of things. You are in control.
You don’t need that “high” anymore. You can be happy, calm, content and most importantly free of anxiety!! Isn’t that good enough?
I’m quitting weed and its been a couple of days but I know I’m gonna get it out of my life for good!
@@mihirjoshi8934u still doing good? no relapse? I’m starting today
I feel you! I smoked 33 years and I know it’s time to let it go and not go back after this clean up. Use to puff weed as a coping mechanism but abused it smoking it everyday. The weed now is strong so I understand why the withdrawal is so strong. We all in this together STAY STRONG and tell Mary Jane I’m out this relationship boo!
Good luck
Day 2 after 25 years of smoking weed.
Thank you so much for your content!
Day 3, I been listening to you for about a month and I appreciate you so much. I am 38 and I been smoking 6-7 blunts a day for 20 years. Thank you for setting free. And I REALLY appreciate your tone in this video. I felt like it was a supportive friend scolding me telling me to stop playing around and love yourself so you can be happy. Thank you
I started at 16 and became a chronic smoker from the get go. I am now 29 and have "successfully" smoked for almost 15years now. The tension in my back muscles from cannabis induced anxiety and paranoia is insufferable. Living in a country where it is illegal only furthers those since we literally have to resort to thugs in order to get it. I feel so fed up and tired of lying to myself and pretending it is a harmless drug that I decided to finally quit. I have been off of it for about 10 days now and I already feel better just because of the plight of the withdrawal effects because I know that the bliss is waiting for me after I get rid of it all out of my system.
Well done brah, late fifties and took me 35yrs to finally walk away. It's so worth it, stay with it, congratulations.
How are you doing, man? I also have insane cannabis induced anxiety, crazy muscle tensions in my left chest muscle, and night terrors. Currently on day 6 sober. When will these tensions go away?
I’m 29 years old, been smoking All day everyday for my entire life.
Quit two days ago (day before Thanksgiving) and it’s kicking my ass. But this video is SO informative and helpful.
Withdrawals hit me hard af, but confirmation of what’s happening to me and knowing I’m not alone is Extremely helpful.
Thank you for this video, Doc. I appreciate it very much. 💯💪🏻

@@joebroart He's back to pullin' tubes, no doubt.
Went 7 days productive and ran into an overwhelming day on day 8. Smoked a doobie but it ends there, this doesn’t mean I’ll relapse it’s simply a reminder as to why I quit. I am building emotional strength to deal with difficult situations. I’m back on my high horse because those first 7 days were proof to myself that it’s me who is in control. Next time an overwhelming situations comes about I’ll either take a walk or start cleaning whatever mess I can find around my environment 🙏
Thank you Jesus for letting me come across this Channel. I have to beat my serious serious weed and porn addictions
💪 glad to have you here
Whipping the porn addiction is easier when you begin turning yourself down for dates..."know what I mean Vern?".
As someone who has struggled lifelong with various addictions, I appreciate your approach. I also dislike being labelled as "an alcoholic" or thinking that I am defective in character or that I need to spend the rest of my life attending meetings talking about drinking. Drinking isn't that great that it needs to be constantly relived. It's like, get a life and move on. I know it's a valuable social network, but it's also very cult like and there are a lot of toxic people there who don't actually grow. I have also met some great ones, but it's hard in early recovery to tell the difference when people are vulnerable. Good food, water, rest, exercise and an active life are the only "cure".
"I'm not a moderate person, I never was.." this did it for me. Thank you. Me too. ❤ Addiction can be a 💪 strength if its to the things that serve us best! Day 2 (for the hundredth time.) Im doing this! Thank you!!
I havent smoked weed in like 9 momths thanks to the mindset shift from this guy
Tryna get like u bro
how are u feeling ?
@@ThermomixTm6Edition I started smoking again, feeling great lol
@@consumedbyai it cannot be good after 9 months, then we at least need 3 joints to go back on track,
@@ThermomixTm6Edition I only hit the bong a few times a day. Times are stressful right now for me so its definitely helping to chill me out and just exist in the moment.
You are a godsend. What an amazing resource for people struggling with weed addiction. Many people believe weed is not addictive, and that may be truefor some. But I think your content touches on the root cause of any addictive behavior. Trauma, neglect, and abuse contribute to addictions. For me, I am becoming more aware of my tendency towards feeling sad, regretful and worthless. Theses substances and behaviors help us feel better in the short run, but don't address the real reasons for our sadness, nor do they promote understanding yourself.
I quit alcohol 1,5 years ago. Feeling great about it. Now its time to give up weed. 11 years of smoking and Im really seeing the problem now. Thank you for this content. I ordered the Dopamine Nation book and really looking forward to the sober days. Take care everybody!
Lost my brother to an overdose a few months ago. Couldn't cry until I quit smoking weed. Holding on to that negative energy is as poisonous as any drug.
Day 2 of quitting goal is to not go back ever cause I know how easily I’ll start using daily. For some magical reason I started binge watching your videos and I’m realizing how much weed has been doing damage instead of benefiting me
Each day presents new opportunities and challenges, one day at a time
Stay strong
I completed Day 1 and writing this while sleeping.
Let us all together get weed out of our life. We are all together!
Hey Alice how’s things going? Did you end up quitting or relapsing … Day 1 for me here. Nervous… but determined!
@@mihirjoshi8934we are strong and we can do anything we put our minds too!
I’m sober for two weeks now. Thanks frank. I’m done with this for good.
some people can’t have substances in “moderation” due to having an addictive personality. i heard someone somewhere say “u better not go smoke a joint! some people can handle a joint, you cannot!” and it hit me in the reality. that was well over a year ago and im still navigating this road to recovery. im so grateful to have found your channel🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for these helpful videos. It's 3 days that I've quit smoking weed. And I'm really proud of myself because before even couldn't stop smoking for a couple hours. But now three days means a lot to me and from the second day , the big part of my mind is still pushing me to smoke. It keeps saying now that you can stop smoking for 3 days. It's enough. Start smoking and then you can quit whenever you want. But the thing is now I know this trick. I know myself. And I've made myself busy with more work. More readin. Mire Listening to music more outdoor activities like just walking in nature or talking to friends.
bro same i'm in the exact same situation, the addictive voice in my head is constantly trying to trick me into giving up and smoking again, saw that you made this comment 3 months ago, hows it going how long did u last??
thank you for making this free doc; seriously, everything you’re doing is working for people and i can’t thank u enough for what it’s doing for me
Day 8 after 25+ years of daily use. So grateful for this channel and Dr. Frank. It helps so much that I enjoy your voice and kind, yet straightforward vibe ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
how are you doing?
I'd love to know how you're doing. I need to quit MANY different substances, so many it's scary.
@@nusesteroide it’s been over two months now. First month was really hard, insomnia was the worst part. I’m sleeping better now than I have in Years. Feeling strong and in control of my life. More connected with family and friends. I’m feeling my cognitive function improving by the day. I don’t cough up black shit every morning anymore. I’m proud if myself, and I don’t want to take that away by going back to it. Thanks for asking :)
@@sonicboom4732 so much better. Ty. When you’re actually ready, you’ll do it. You gotta get real tired of your own BS first. Like REAL tired. Then you gotta suffer through withdrawals, knowing it’ll get better each day. Don’t give up on yourself.
I just got to the first month... feeling better@@melindarenee4080
I just want to say thank you so much for making this free and accessible to anyone. This video has helped me massively in quitting weed - the advice you give is absolutely fantastic sir.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 345 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Brilliant masterclass in Addiction. I'm on day 4 and so friggin' motivated to recover after listening to him. 33 years of constant inebriated and I'm finally doing it. Max props and respect for this channel!
Dr. Frank I'm so thankful for you; I'm in day 56 thc free (after 464 prescribed days of mmu flower for the anexiety, and a lifetime of thc addiction) now almost comlpete with 'getting my job back 83 modules of study, writing and the test to get back to work - I couldn't keep the job before having lost three in the year on the addictive prescription.
I am so grateful for your truth honesty business and guidance. Blessings, Ren
30 min in and you’re already helping me. Wrote down 13 reasons why I want to stop and only have 4 reasons to smoke 1 of which is a contradiction to me wanting to stop. Also what you said about addiction being a lack of discipline is cool kinda feels like it gives me my power back in a way.
You didn’t misadvertise by saying you have tools. You can give us tools but only we can choose to use them. You’re doing your part now we have to do our. As simple as that
Thank you for this, I have finally realised that being sober is the way I need to be to finally feel myself and give my life a chance. I am only 3 minutes in but I have high hopes
12 days already, how u doing?
One of the first things you said I think is the most impactful and it hit me so deep. “If you think you can or can’t, you’re probably right”
Wow good timing I quit everything today. Going into meetings tomorrow
Well done chopper stay strong
Just passed my one-year anniversary. It's such a huge life changing experience.
@@scottpringle thank you
@@deanbedetti5375 I can’t wait and Dr. Frank nailed it with the types of weed users. I’m the one that just doesn’t get any pleasure out of it anymore and it’s time to move on. It’s worth it to just not ever smoke again because weed also causes me anxiety at first then I will want some later leading to me smoking all day again. Screw this I’m done
Props! And look at all the support here in the comments. This is what it’s all about
Day 4. Ive been binging your videos for 4 days. They have helped.
Day 2 here 🤢
Dr. Frank, you are an incredible human. To take the time to provide this resource along with the hundreds of other videos that have helped me in the past. THANK YOU!! You are helping so many.
I cold turkey quit this shit nov 14th after 7 years of being an all day every day Smoker . 2 1/2 years ago I quit drinking alcohol cold turkey after being a heavy drinker every day for the better part of eight years. I replaced the booze with Weed.. to me at the time it was definitely the lesser of two evils. To quit the weed It was a combination of education and God. Now I’m completely sober and I will never go back.!!! Nothing will ever make me smoke or drink ever ever again. Thank you Jesus !
Starting quiting today 5 year smoker everyday. I’m no longer a stoner or a smoker starting tomorrow. It’s 11:34 pm
Day one, scared but excited. Thanks Dr. Frank
Well well well, I am officially 24 hours without weed and about 4 days without nicotine! Feeling good today but it could all be different tomorrow, but I will not falter. Time to stop making excuses. Even after all the relapses I’ve had. I will keep fighting the battle til I win. Thanks Dr. Frank.
Been trying to quit weed since January. Have come across your vids several times just never actually watched. EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID IS SO RIGHT!!! I’m tired of hearing myself say today is the day tomorrow is the day! And Im just trying to quit smoking weed. Ur right. It’s boring. I’m watching all of your vids now!!! You really can tell you have been through it. Sorry I judged you and didn’t open myself up to listen until today. I was missing out.
currently on day 3 of quitting weed! keep up the good work everyone
I’m just listening to this and probably all your other videos. Thank you Frank. I needed to hear this.
My friend has a hard time understanding that I can’t just smoke on the weekends. I’ve tried it before and it puts me in the same place lol
30 days ,having some challenging times on my life ,felling a little bit depressed but knowing it’s going to be better
Day one of quitting weed and vaping god led me here
God is what led me to quit too. He convicted me. Tbh I cried about it once during this withdrawal and just asked for his forgiveness. For him to give me strength. God is all we need in life and the rest of our life will fall into place. Hope your holding on strong
Been smoking for the best part of 20 years now on and off. I have to say that your channel is such a valuable resource to all those struggling. Thank you for all you do. You bring hope n help me reframe things when all seems lost. Not all heros wear capes. Thank you so much
Quit for 4 months and I loved my sober me… started smoking again hated it but somehow convinced myself that I enjoyed it again… I got this shit, day 1 again
Just stop! You really need to want it, you need the motivation, whatever it might be.
Smoked for 15 years, everyday, the whole day. I always thought I couldn't stop. But then I had no money anymore and for the first time I REALLY wanted to quit. Paying the med bills for my dog, to save her, was more important for me. I had the motivator and just stopped without any problems. I realized that the only reason I had never quit was because I never really wanted to and told my self BS like "I can't, I need it, I go crazy without and can not sleep". Turned out nothing of it was true.
good job my friend (: I hope your dog is ok. in any case fight for not relapsing
Yessss...proud of you....Your dog 🐕 loves you...
Wow sounds like me
Yelp I want more for myself that’s what motivated me I want to drive trucks it was hard at first but I’m 9 months in it’s a mind thang
Thank you so much Frank. I started watching your videos a few months back.. im almosy 60 days free on nicotine and i feel even more empowered to quit weed. This channel is awesome thank you
I am so glad that I found your videos. I am in the process of sharing this with my daughter who has struggled with an addiction for many many years.
One of the lines that trully hit a spot for me:
"Gotta learn how to celebrate sober!"
THIS.... to me sounds impossible at the moment, but only because it resonates so much with me.
Definitely something to keep in mind.
“addiction makes the most uncomfortable comfort zone”
sir thank you for giving me this incredibly powerful language i can use to remind myself why i want and need to quit. truly hate this comfort zone i’ve trapped myself in. thank you for these tools.
Thank you for what your doing, iv been smoking since I was 12, I'm 30 now.. I wanna stop and today is my second day!
Let’s Go! I’m with you! I’m 27 and been smoking daily for past 3 years. I completed Day 1 and I’m very very motivated to quit weed forever!
It helps when you have someone to motivate you. You can text your progress with quitting weed here. I will too! That helps.
Let’s get it out of our life!😃
I was so unconscious about the reason I was addicted to weed, I didn't even think I was addicted. Thank you so much for your videos. I've wanted to quit for years. I'm actually taking steps now finally.
Your not allone bro had same feelings for 15 years of blowing weed and nicotine, today i decided also quit.
@@djoker9208 you can do it. Day 4 hardly slept but I feel genuinely happy. Thanks for your encouragement
57:00 - 1:05:00 was so key for me in understanding why my withdrawal has been so difficult
My mood, my energy, my stability everything is out of whack.
Thank you
Thanks!
I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work you're doing Dr. Frank. I've been an active user for the last 7 years or so, and I've only had one successful period of time without using (with help from your vids). I'm trying again for hopefully the last time now and your videos have been beyond helpful in helping me view quitting in a positive light. Thank you!!
Sound just like me. Been smoking for the same time and had a full 7 days weed free a few months ago. Had my best friend and only friend of 12 years die. My dog. And I have been in such a rut. It hurts so much. I just want to numb everything. But that's pointless. It won't help me In the end. I need to focus on improving myself. We are stronger than we think. We got this.
Anytime! I got two more videos to complete this series. I am hoping to drop them this week!
@@DrewMoore-eb7icyou are 100% stronger than you think. I am sorry to hear that news, but as you know smoking won’t change it, only worsens it. Props on 7 days
@@AddictionMindsetYour channel is golden ! Trying to quit weed after 9 months of smoking. I made a decision and today is my first day. And you dropping this videos and oh my good it’s kinda sign for me !! I will watch it tomorrow and hope it will help me to go through this 💪🏻 You also was one of the reason who made me think that I really need to quit. At least non-stop smoking like I did.
I’ve been a thc and nicotine junky for 40 of my 56 years. No attempt at sobriety has lasted for longer than 8 months. Watching you I’ve learned about dopamine and what happens inside the brain. This time I feel incredible hope and optimism because I have been feeding my brain with high fat carnivore food. My whole self, my sleep, my emotional stability, all of it - restored in a month. This has never been the case before. My advise is to look into carnivore diet and eat a lot of fat. I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been and I know it’s because of what I put in my mouth. Surely I’ve worked for many years on understanding my soul and working out things like that but it’s never been enough to hold me together and up without the proper high fat nutrient dense carnivore diet.
I have been smoking for 30 years I prayed a novena for saint Joseph and asked the sacred heart of Jesus and Mary for strength and mercy I woke up one morning and I just couldn't smile anymore! I didn't miss it even for a second and I am 1
2 months free of this substance that almost destroyed my life many times. If you are a weed smoker I pray for you to stop ❤❤❤ thank You Lord thank You Holy spirit ❤❤❤
30 years of smoking thanks for this vid and guide day 1 stop smoking 💯💚
God bless you. Doing good work for the community
Thanks for being a part of it!! Much appreciated.
Great video and advice. I tried everything to stop smoking cigarettes, and nothing worked, until I decided to meditate seriously.
I think meditating 6-8 hours in a 16 hour day is mandatory if you want to minimize any discomfort from quitting.
After a few days of practice, you'll stop feeling your entire body and float in under half hour.
Do that for a week before quitting, whilst reducing your intake everyday.
The relaxation is so intense, that you wonder why you didn't do this earlier. It also lasts for a couple of hours.
This alone, will make a huge difference.
It's very hard at the beginning as your mind won't stop yakking or losing concentration. Cutting the weed intake down is where meditation comes in. You'll naturally be pulled away from weed. I don't know what chemicals and stuff brain under meditation produces, but I can tell you it's potent.
No wonder these monks are always meditating. I suggest "Brain Sync" series from Kelly Howell to learn how to meditate properly.
You have to do it for 90 days minimum. After 21 days, you are free from physical addiction.
20 years old, been smoking weed since I was 8. I have wanted to stop smoking for so long but I never have had anyone to support me through it as everyone around me smokes weed or nicotine. I do not smoke nicotine for clarity sake. I’ve recently learned that all I need is my self and to make the decision to stop smoking. I’ve past 24hrs and onto 48hrs now, and I feel extremely motivated. My only problem at this point is finding ways to fill my new found time. It’s amazing the shift in perspective even after 24hrs. When high I feel as if there’s never enough time for anything. I can sit there and smoke for hours but yet feel like I have no time to do anything. Now however; it’s the complete opposite. I have limitless time and not enough to do. I have spent the day doing cleaning up my house and doing extra tasks that normally got skipped while smoking, and tomorrow I believe I’m gonna begin working out. Thank you for this video and all that you do ❤
Thank you for offering this for free. Had I come prior to when it wasn't, I would blame my bad luck and go smoke again. So, thank you, I appreciate you.
Holy s*it I havent even watched part 2 and 3 and this seminar sank so deep inside of my brain I gained the necessary determination to decide to fully quit 2 days ago. I know this first week will probably be the hardest but if you think quitting as a challenge, with the mindset you talk about in this video... man I'm so excited! THANK YOU FRANK!! I NEED BIGGER CAPSLOCK TO THANK YOU ENOUGH
How’s it going now?
bro said exactly what i needed to hear. on my journey now, no more excuses!
Motivation is temporary, it's DRIVE that we all need because we only do the things we're motivated to do, if we're driven then we're going to get it done or get rid of it by any means necessary. I will be coming back to this video and part 2.
I’m getting started with my journey. Almost 24 hours in from last hit of thc. I’m glad I found this to help my mindset
I've never been addicted to anything else besides weed. Weed. Since I was 11 years old. I'm 32 now. Never went even passed 2 weeks sober ever since.
You’re amazing man. Thank you so much for your integrity & honesty. It’s so eye opening and you’re changing lives daily. ❤
12 days in trying to fight through this anxiety etc making me want to go out and smoke. I’ve been pretty lucky and haven’t felt too bad so far, this feeling in my stomach is just bugging me. I’ve come to far to go back now!
So much respect for you. You can do it!
Been a pot smoker for over 15 years, and a daily drinker for about 4. Day 4 without liquor amd day 2 without pot. Taking it one step at a time. Thank you for your videos
Today is new year's Eve and it's been more than 5 years that i try to stop. NO MORE FUCKING EXCUSES !!!! I TAKE BACK MY BODY AND SPIRIT !! Thank you for everything, thank you to do what you do, it's really helping people !! ❤❤❤
We are able to do it ! 🥰
I am trying this New Year’s Day. Gonna be roughy but I’m determined for my career choice
