im so addicted right now, I watch these videos while im high because it gives me comfort hearing something that resonates, I can't tell any of this to my stoner friends lol. after years of daily smoking and im talking getting as baked as I possibly can as my goal every day, my life finally hit a point where I feel nothing, care about nothing, and just wanna sit and do nothing. and every aspect of my life is collapsing at the moment, so I think im ready to be sober.
Great message, I’m two days sober and already feeling better. To anyone that reads this, stay strong. Just think how much better we will feel as time goes on.
I wanna throw this out there. I have gotten sober for years, relapsed, been sober and relapsed and I've learned a few things. One is that for some people they are using a substance because there is a situation in there life that if they were sober they would not be able to live with. I kept using because I had narcissists around me and until I got the negative people out of my life and found some good.ones, for the life of me I could not stay sober because once I was I realized that I truly hated my life. So I left my bf, left bad friends behind, changed jobs all while still using. Once all that stress was gone getting.sober was sooooooo much easier. And staying sober isn't this huge everyday struggle since I have someone in my life who treats me with kindness everyday I am happy.
Truly inspiring. The problem starts when u have some really really good friends who use weed all the time. Yeah not every friend is still your friend when u stop using weed, but in some friends there is adeep believe in the friendship and they do accept it when i dont want to use weed anymore. Still.. its very challenging for me to keep the friendship alive, because every time i visit them i will get confronted with it. But im sure some friendships are worth that risk, i just have to learn to be okay without it, even if a friend is using it
Hey Bill and everyone else on this page....I had my first hit at age 18. I still remember to this day, I am a young 64 year old, where I was, who was there and what happened as if it was yesterday.. Since that time to now I have been smoking as regular as the sun rise. I may go a day or two but as soon as something emotionally comes up, I ran to the dealer. What has been debilitating is that it is a habit I have hidden from most members of my family and some friends, especially those who do not indulge and I have therefore been isolating myself for years....just looking forward to that time alone where I can roll up. Of course most of my friends as friends with weed (not a friend really) I have now hit rock bottom and realized how this little reefer has effected me....Feeling low, feeling worthless, feeling unable to tackle most things or just putting them off so I can smoke. I FEEL totally alone, tho i have friends and family. I just haven't developed good relationships as I HAVE HAD one significant relationship - WEED! All my partners have been smokers and I probably chose them cos I would not have to hid my habit and my intimate relationship with Mary J. I stopped quite some years back and stayed sober for around 5 years and all I did was take one small reefer and now almost 8 years down the line, I am back where I was....I have achieved on the outside but not grown much on the inside....And that thing about not standing for yourself....well I see it now. Thank you BILL for being brave to share and its good to see a mature person who admits they have abused ad been abused by Mary J. I thought I was been a tough cookie while destroying my life. THANK YOU ANYWAY and as today is DAY ONE for me again...I am determined to not smoke again. I pray I make it this time.
Huge. As a 30 year old who has been smoking for 15 years. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. It's not that I think smoking is bad at face value. But overtime it's made me value my self less. And it's time to place the value back onto myself.
Same bro. Let’s make our 30’s better than our 20’s were. Cause I’m gonna assume if you’re like me, then we didn’t get all of what we wanted out of our 20’s because of our daily habit, am I right?
@@RupturedGrid Im on Board, dude. Im 25 now and i use weed since im 16. If i watch old videos of me, i can see that i enjoyed life much more. I was energetic, confident and ready to go. Even if i got older and made progress in some things, with weed everyday life becomes just gray. Im without energy most of the time, i feel like im dragging my friends down and most activities dont seem to make sense without using Weed. If im totally honest, i see that people dont look forward to see me anymore. I didnt want to confess it to myself most of the time, but i try to supress some bad feelings, from bad things that happened. But I dont want to waste another Decade. I want to be a loving human being again. I want to be a good friend, i want to give people hope instead of complaining about things. I want to get better&stronger for the family i will eventually find in the future. It will be hard, there will be bad Days, but I can do it. I have enough of this egoistic lifestyle
much love brother, definitely resonated with me. I have 3 weeks in the books after a decade haze. feel better and been riding my bike like a madman lately. keep on keeping on!
I’m 19 and your journey has deeply inspired me. Two days off weed, not going to be an easy path but your words of wisdom are valued more than you know. Thank you♥️
Keep at it pal, I wasted my 20's with the stuff, im 34 now and on day 2, I wish i had tried sooner, these videos of others journeys help vastly. Well done :)
Smoked dab oil,wax,joints,bongs,blunts you name it from ages 17 to 20. I quit everything once the pandemic started and with a year clean I feel an exponential increase in the quality of life. My brainfog is 99% gone. I sometimes watch videos like these so I know I wasnt going crazy when I experienced all the negative side effects of when I used to be a stoner. Thank you for bringing awareness to this subject you're doing amazing work keep it up
What you said about having enough self worth to put down something that isn’t serving me really stuck with me because I often get depressed while smoking because deep down I know I’m just sabotaging myself
best way move out town or stop chilling with your current friends. that's what l did after 4 weeks l feel like new born baby man my memory come back feeling good. GOD is the gretes
I’m on going on three weeks now sober and I’m finally realizing so many of the mistakes I’ve made in the past because of it. You hit the nail on the head in that my confidence was so low I just wanted to die. It was not an easy time and I still have struggles because of all the damage it caused me in my personal life but I’m slowly picking up the pieces and moving forward with my life. I hope I can look back one day and be a witness to somebody struggling with addiction. Stay strong my friends and keep looking up. You are valued and will be stronger in the end.
Hey man I’m 18 and was smoking almost everyday for a year and a half, most days I missed in a row was 2 in this period. After I saw one of your videos it gave me that extra push I needed to help me quit. I’m now 10 days free and being sober really is my new high. Thankyou for giving me that wake up call I needed 🤝❤️
Thank you so much for this. Very wise. I’m getting out of my chronic low grade depression as well. Weed sapped my self worth by making me uncomparable to people who didn’t abuse weed. If I saw people who were living in a way I admired, I would quickly remind myself they probably aren’t a pothead like me
I’ve been smoking weed everyday since 15 (I’m 25). Now It’s turned me into a skittish, antisocial and anxiety induced person. Every time I quit, I have nightmares wake up in sweat and often have panic attacks (i’ve noticed the panic attacks come after weeks of dab pen use). It’s kinda ruined my sex life with the anxiety... (a doctor would put me on pills right away but I will never do that)… I’ve been clean for about a week now and the crippling anxiety is starting to go away, and I feel like I’m seeing in 20/20 vision finally now.. going to the gym and picking up new hobbies help :) I feel like I’m closer to God as well. (No wonder the government is pushing weed on us all of a sudden).. For years, my aggression was gone because I was high every day. I would let people walk all over me. For young men, drive is important for career, relationships and life. Just 1 week and Im confident around new people, I don’t overthink and I feel sharper at work (I work in sales). I can’t wait for 30 days clean. I feel like my T-levels have risen just from 1 week of no weed.. it’s crazy how this is advertised as some kind of miracle drug. As someone who’s been using it for over a decade let me tell you it’s no miracle and I would be further in life if I never started. Thank you God for giving me the panic attacks to show me this 2.5 week update : I’ve been waking up nearly every night in cold sweats from very very vivid dreams (and nightmares). Also noticed waves of anxiety at random times during the day - I have to channel it into music, working out, or creativity. Lost about 5lbs from lack of appetite, but the gym is keeping me in great shape at least.. some positive things : I’m a lot more focused at work, hobbies interest me, I’m sticking to a workout plan and feeling strong and I feel a much deeper connection to my family and the wonderful woman I’ve been talking to. I also noticed I’m a lot more emotional, in a good way.
I’m 24 hours in on quitting after 15 years of everyday use and this video is super inspiring and authentic. This video adds to my motivation of my journey, thanks a lot for the content .
This was very inspirational for me. You have a calming presence. I broke down today. I’m 31 and it’s been 10 years of smoking everyday. I’m tired but I struggle to get through 1 day and cannot sleep without it. Im having a hard time finding the strength.
I wish I could go back 10 years ago and tell myself that I don’t need to smoke to cope. Unfortunately that’s how it always was. Lead to other drugs, but here I am 21 and still have the addiction of smoking weed everyday, stopped everything else. Marijuana is my only vice, and it is a problem in my life I feel like I have so much more potential within myself.
Thank you for this video, sir. You described me perfectly. I'm only 20, graduating from Virginia Tech with 2 degrees next week. I was smoking so much that I was going to either kill myself from the depression it enhanced or just never do anything with my life. Thank you so much for your wisdom.
Best description of weed that I've found. Weed stops me from anything and makes me okay with that. I've stopped smoking weed and I do hope that I stay committed this time.
I’m 27 and I’ve been smoking everyday since 14 . Two days sober and i feel extremely depressed. Now that I’m sober i realized i pretty much waisted half my life already .
King Howie, I find myself self working through day 4 of my sobriety journey. As I write this I’m 12 minutes into day 5. You just inspired me to not only write a comment but I will be creating my own channel as well. I have a story to share and I believe I can inspire others how you inspired me. Anyone that reads this and if your thinking of quitting or you have all ready quit just hang on. As a pot smoker I became so selfish and so obsessed with my habit that nothing else mattered, nothing not even me. However, I’m choosing a different path instead of the one that was on repeat daily. Wake up, work, smoke, and sleep. Repeat! There were no new experience to be had because the only experience was to get high. This was a sad existence. Just taking up space and wasting the most valuable thing i have: time! Anyways, I appreciate you be courages and sharing. I needed this. Much love King Howie.
This video helped me...I'm planning to enlist in the army...and I just quit weed . I listened to your words and they meant a lot to me. Thanks. Thanks alot
Im on day 9 and I’ve lost all my motivation. Truth is, weed was my motivator in a way and now I feel like I cant do anything the way I used to enjoy it when I was smoking, skating doesn’t hit the same, going to the gym doesn’t hit the same, waterpark all that weed never made me lazy, quite the opposite actually so I have no idea why I want to quit. I feel like all being sober has done for me is make me depressed and less outgoing. Still going strong though.
Wow, this is so true! I have lost my ability to fight back and know my value. It’s embarrassing. I’ve spent the last 15 years or so smoking. I have tried so many times to quit. I was able to get off of antidepressants, opiates, alcohol, and cigarettes at least. Last time was 2017 I strung together a year of complete sobriety off pot but then I relapsed and derailed myself. I want complete sobriety still, I will continue fighting. Thank you for sharing your story
Great video! I'm 44 and been smoking everyday since I was 16. Been sober for 4 days now, and it's a struggle, no doubt. Thanks for the motivation to get through another day dude! Wonder what crazy dreams I will have tonight.
Hi dear, isn't it exciting to have a great dream life, enjoying, weirdest of weird dream theatre right in our own head, it's like a farewell gift from the dear plant as this long love affair is finally over, love you kmac.
@@DilbagSingh-sp2yp thanks for the kind words. Coming up to 2 months on Sep 2nd. What a ride it has been. Loving this new life, doing so much more. Saved probaly close to $1800 bucks. Still have wild dreams, so that is cool hahaha. Take care Dilbag Singh
@@Kmac78 love you, good night, god bless you, being clean is the greatest gift one can give to oneself, and congratulations for being so kind to yourself, love you, love you❤, love you.
Im turning 21 in July . since the age of 16 I was using weed to hide from depression. There were so many opportunities i've passed up simply because I was baked and i let people walk all over me and walk past me like you said. Every time i've felt low id get high, it felt like everything else didn't matter as long as i had some grams on me. Now i'm facing my problems face foward and im gonna be honest its hard and sometimes I think about giving up but then i find videos like these or they find me i'm not sure. nonetheless, I deeply appreciate your wisdom boss man
now after 40 years of weed, 3 to 4 joints a day, I'm ready to stop! I cough to much and can't breathe good only when I smoke. I don't like it anymore no FUN, I'm 60 now. I'm ready to move on with my life. my whole world was weed, the money I spent $100k over 40 years!
Thanks Bill for providing this bit of yourself. I aspire your efforts to quit, and have this sort of realization. You have proven yourself to make a mark on other people. You did to me.
To be in peace with oneself is above all, as you can avoid, escape, anything else, but not yourself, you are with yourself forever, so as it's impossible to avoid oneself why not be in a peaceful relationship, and chill in a real way dear.
1st week was hard not gonna lie every time weed was their. now I gotta deal with my problem without the weed. All the past came to hunt me again but I learn to say it was my fault everything. Dreams are crazy I keep having dreaming of my dead grandparents workin at the farm or driving down the highway.
Did you ever deal with quitting, then having a big void to fill? The addiction itself isn't a problem--I've quitt for a couple years, then a few months, etc. But I never really made strides with or without weed, and my justification was "oh I quit for a while, I didn't see change" It's like when I quit video games, I ended up consuming other forms of content, and not actually gaining any productivity. Idk.
Yeah you gotta find things to fill the void with. Quitting weed is a good step but if ur just lying round playing Xbox all day ur not good gonna feel as good as if you join a gym, learn a language, read some books etc.
@@al1ex916 I’m more aiming to start a career/not be a NEET lol. I’ve had a running habit for years, reading more would help, but ultimately it’s a matter of finding work that doesn’t make me miserable
I’m gonna have to stop smoking this coming week for good reasons and purposes but not willingly. I feel I don’t know what it’s like to be normal anymore, I work I play with my kids I do things with my family I don’t sit around all day or night and waste my time but I’m just not high anymore. I don’t remember what feeling normal is like.. idk if I’m gonna like it or hate it! After 15 years smoking 7 days a week I wonder what my body mind and souls gonna open me to.
I quit hard drugs for years, relapsed on pot and struggle more than ever with just that. After starting weed I quit cold turkey for about 3 months, and now I’m back at it hooked on dabbing this time. Please help
i found that weed has made me not care about anything
makes u care about one thing, more weed
For real. It makes you flat, numb overall.
@VentureAway exactly lol
It’s so crazy
That’s why I smoke
im so addicted right now, I watch these videos while im high because it gives me comfort hearing something that resonates, I can't tell any of this to my stoner friends lol. after years of daily smoking and im talking getting as baked as I possibly can as my goal every day, my life finally hit a point where I feel nothing, care about nothing, and just wanna sit and do nothing. and every aspect of my life is collapsing at the moment, so I think im ready to be sober.
I was in that same place and I’m now on day 4 of sobriety.
Great message, I’m two days sober and already feeling better. To anyone that reads this, stay strong. Just think how much better we will feel as time goes on.
Still going?
Just got to day 2. I’ve been here before. I know it gets great. Day 1 wasn’t terrible…I’m feeling good. Onward
i’m 16 days off alcohol so weed next.
I wanna throw this out there. I have gotten sober for years, relapsed, been sober and relapsed and I've learned a few things.

Anyone that reads this and if your thinking of quitting or you have all ready quit just hang on. As a pot smoker I became so selfish and so obsessed with my habit that nothing else mattered, nothing not even me. However, I’m choosing a different path instead of the one that was on repeat daily. Wake up, work, smoke, and sleep. Repeat! There were no new experience to be had because the only experience was to get high. This was a sad existence. Just taking up space and wasting the most valuable thing i have: time! Anyways, I appreciate you be courages and sharing. I needed this. Much love King Howie.
Make that Chanel bro!
You have an update? You still going strong I hope
This video helped me...I'm planning to enlist in the army...and I just quit weed . I listened to your words and they meant a lot to me. Thanks. Thanks alot
This helped me a lot , thank you . We got this ❤
Hit hard that. Thanks pal 👍. Running away from problems that's it makes sense now
Im on day 9 and I’ve lost all my motivation. Truth is, weed was my motivator in a way and now I feel like I cant do anything the way I used to enjoy it when I was smoking, skating doesn’t hit the same, going to the gym doesn’t hit the same, waterpark all that weed never made me lazy, quite the opposite actually so I have no idea why I want to quit. I feel like all being sober has done for me is make me depressed and less outgoing. Still going strong though.
Wow, this is so true! I have lost my ability to fight back and know my value. It’s embarrassing. I’ve spent the last 15 years or so smoking. I have tried so many times to quit. I was able to get off of antidepressants, opiates, alcohol, and cigarettes at least. Last time was 2017 I strung together a year of complete sobriety off pot but then I relapsed and derailed myself. I want complete sobriety still, I will continue fighting. Thank you for sharing your story
Wow brother, I couldn't put it in words, but I'm with you.
Great video! I'm 44 and been smoking everyday since I was 16. Been sober for 4 days now, and it's a struggle, no doubt. Thanks for the motivation to get through another day dude! Wonder what crazy dreams I will have tonight.
Hi dear, isn't it exciting to have a great dream life, enjoying, weirdest of weird dream theatre right in our own head, it's like a farewell gift from the dear plant as this long love affair is finally over, love you kmac.
@@DilbagSingh-sp2yp thanks for the kind words. Coming up to 2 months on Sep 2nd. What a ride it has been. Loving this new life, doing so much more. Saved probaly close to $1800 bucks. Still have wild dreams, so that is cool hahaha. Take care Dilbag Singh
@@Kmac78 love you, good night, god bless you, being clean is the greatest gift one can give to oneself, and congratulations for being so kind to yourself, love you, love you❤, love you.

Hi Bill, thank you for the video. I think it was great and I definitely got value out of it!
yeah i love your videos bill your dope af mad inspo
Im turning 21 in July . since the age of 16 I was using weed to hide from depression. There were so many opportunities i've passed up simply because I was baked and i let people walk all over me and walk past me like you said. Every time i've felt low id get high, it felt like everything else didn't matter as long as i had some grams on me. Now i'm facing my problems face foward and im gonna be honest its hard and sometimes I think about giving up but then i find videos like these or they find me i'm not sure. nonetheless, I deeply appreciate your wisdom boss man
You can try depression medication instead of using the weed to cover it
Great video! I can relate and I'm 55.
Thanks for the vid, Bill. Found you at a good time. Appreciate your honest and mature approach to both your topic of choice and making vids about it.
Awesome, thank you!

Thanks Bill for providing this bit of yourself. I aspire your efforts to quit, and have this sort of realization. You have proven yourself to make a mark on other people. You did to me.

i really like the way that you talk
Me to
To be in peace with oneself is above all, as you can avoid, escape, anything else, but not yourself, you are with yourself forever, so as it's impossible to avoid oneself why not be in a peaceful relationship, and chill in a real way dear.
Great video man, all love brother 👍
Much love to you my brother

Thank you for sharing. I needed this so badly.

Thank you for sharing. It helps.
I hope to get my money straight and then come through blowin down the boulevard in that candy red slab
Hanging out the window screaming money ain’t a thing
1st week was hard not gonna lie every time weed was their. now I gotta deal with my problem without the weed. All the past came to hunt me again but I learn to say it was my fault everything. Dreams are crazy I keep having dreaming of my dead grandparents workin at the farm or driving down the highway.
Keep making videos!
I will! Thanks for the support.
Thanks man😭
Did you ever deal with quitting, then having a big void to fill?
The addiction itself isn't a problem--I've quitt for a couple years, then a few months, etc. But I never really made strides with or without weed, and my justification was "oh I quit for a while, I didn't see change"
It's like when I quit video games, I ended up consuming other forms of content, and not actually gaining any productivity. Idk.
Yeah you gotta find things to fill the void with. Quitting weed is a good step but if ur just lying round playing Xbox all day ur not good gonna feel as good as if you join a gym, learn a language, read some books etc.
@@al1ex916 I’m more aiming to start a career/not be a NEET lol. I’ve had a running habit for years, reading more would help, but ultimately it’s a matter of finding work that doesn’t make me miserable
I’m gonna have to stop smoking this coming week for good reasons and purposes but not willingly. I feel I don’t know what it’s like to be normal anymore, I work I play with my kids I do things with my family I don’t sit around all day or night and waste my time but I’m just not high anymore. I don’t remember what feeling normal is like.. idk if I’m gonna like it or hate it! After 15 years smoking 7 days a week I wonder what my body mind and souls gonna open me to.
Awesome stuff man !
Thank you! :)
You say you didn't value yourself. Why did didn't you value yourself? What was it prior to doing weed that caused it?
Things get better when you're sober.
its fuckin hard bro
@@novelaego2404 I know. I wrote that a year ago. I gave in to the weed again. It's the truth tho. You get to really live life not just in your mind
@ H B stop again. I relapsed two months ago, today day 1. You got this
@@novelaego2404 👊
I quit hard drugs for years, relapsed on pot and struggle more than ever with just that. After starting weed I quit cold turkey for about 3 months, and now I’m back at it hooked on dabbing this time. Please help
9months zero alcohol ,day 1 i declare no more
Phil Collins quit??
🙏
My fuck these are incredible videos
When You smoke weed,your world becomes smaller i.e Your life.
A big reason I want to quit is my short term memory is so bad and it used to be pretty good.
Is this something you experienced got better?
You remind me of Henry Rollins
