I'm almost 3 months weed free after 4 years daily use . Its hard as hell it big depression, anxiety , up and downs , brain fog , paranoia, health anxiety... I know its for the better but its hard! Never going back i wish I knew that weed could do this
I am 2 months sober but experiencing naussea headache depression are all still persistent
@@vaibhavsingh4108 keep going 4 months now it gets better !
@@themetalicious7195 thanks man needed this very much let leave everything with time i hope it passes
About a month of cold turkey after 20+ years of use. I started smoking weed at 15. I feel like dog $h¡t. But my dreams are awesome lol.
@@KidConiferous yeah well done for making this far. You will definitely feel better. I was feeling like a horsehit for nearly 45 days then things started getting better. Brain fog will lift up. Keep going.
65 days...still ups and downs...today was a great day♥️
How are u now buddy?
it’s been 65 days, move on, stop making your livelihood and watching content revolve around this. you’re just bringing yourself back in the loop optionally, ur out.
How are u
It's called life lol. You sound cured of your addiction.
How are you doing now?
Been a user for 50 years. Pray for me. I start Monday morning ❤
How was it?
One month in not smoking pot, first time trying to give up after 51 years ! Don’t know who I am without it…… like I’ve lost my best friend 😢
When did you feel better
I am so PROUD of ALL of you who are trying to better your health and life.
Day 2 I was feeling mildly not well today, so I called a friend and said...."Hey, you want to go to the beach? I left at 9am and came home at dinner time. We had great conversations and it took my mind off of my physical symptoms and I didn't really start feeling crappy until 8am. Feels like a fever and chills and I have no appetite )I could lose some weight, lol....LOVE that part.
I am GOING TO MAKE IT THIS TIME!
Smoking weed ALL the time got HARD.
Not smoking weed can be HARD.
Choose your HARD. I chose this.
Medical Cannabis is a natural organic herb medicine treatment to help health and patients
🙏🏿🙏🏿✅
Keep pushing forward folks. I quit 10/8 and still working at it. I’m 68, female and it is a work in progress. I started exercising, drinking more water and even gave up CBD. It’s super hard, but each day I’m grateful for everything. Gratitude that you have this chance is foremost. I cried, was agitated and suffered insomnia, hot flashes and stress, but it’s better each day.
I have great days and not so great days-there are no bad days through the grace of God and the opportunity I’ve been given.
Stopped smoking weed after 20yrs went through every withdrawal it was really horrible at times but honestly being free from weed is the best choice ive ever made nothing would ever make me a slave to weed again life feels amazing without weed
So proud of you ❤
How long did you deal with withdrawal
Took nearly two months for symptoms to fade. Feeling much better now and very appreciative of sobriety and able to help others. Tea and honey works wonders!
I have also past two month mark. Bit didn't improving much. Should i see a doc
@@vaibhavsingh4108 Anhedoniah is what you’re describing and can last from weeks to months, even years in some outliers, but it always will recover. Look up, LeoAndLogevity and Anhedonia, and you’ll find a good protocol to follow. If you’re in doubt about your prognosis, go to your doctor for support, but don’t stop there because the system will often put you into a cookie cutter protocol. Continue to do your own research, continue to learn from your addiction and master yourself. Cheers and @ me if you have any questions.
@@joshcarey2916 hey thanks for replying. I am feeling somewhat better now. Currently on day 181. I will into the resources. Thanks friend
Should I even stop CBD and CBN too?
@@FacelessOnesI'd say yes because every external cannabinoid messes with your endocannabinoid system. Correct me if im wrong.
I love how I'm not supposed to be engaging in complex/stressful activities but I'm grinding through midterms this week for my hardest semester of undergrad 😂. 18 days clean though! Feeling all over the place but definitely better than getting stoned all day
I’m from Amsterdam, weed and hashish easily available from puberty onwards. Been smoking hashish from age 17/18 till 25. In the beginning usage was not so heavy but it progressed to daily use for +- 5 years. Have quit twice for a couple of months in the past few years. Relapsed this year to about 6 months of heavy daily use (5-8 joints a day).
Quit again 3 weeks ago. This time it seems like withdrawal is way more heavy than the previous times. No reduction in symptoms so far: Insomnia, feeling weird inside my body, touch feels weird and distant, anxiousness, depression, no appetite or sexual arousal, eyes feel weird and slightly painful sometimes, clouded mind, lack of concentration, racing thoughts, mood swings. Quit cigarettes and am processing deep relationship patterns at the same time. No substance cravings whatsoever. Cardio helps, I choose to just play with a football alone instead of running alone, more fun. Napping multiple times a day when tired for 20 min max to avoid disruption of circadian rhythm. I also imagine movie characters (from childhood) as a hold-on when times get tough. The events they conquer are usually more significant than my addiction recovery in my eyes.
Thank you for everyone that commented, good to know I’m not alone in this. Stay strong, love.
Hey did you get your sexual arousal back? Thank you!
How are you now?
23 days clean after 30 years in wed addiction, started to sleepin better like 4-6 hrs still havin nightmares but at least restin, but the thing is if feel like shit mentaly havin a crush on a gal that obviously ignores me if that is not enough each day i am tryin to quit ciggaretes but failin each time. TY for ur work it keeps me away from weed and alcohol at least that ❤
I’m on day 3. I’ve puked over 100 times. Thank the lord for whoever invented baths. Also thank you for these videos. I know being reborn is never easy… I’m not giving up
You likely had CHS
That sounds like a spiritual purge ma'am. How are you feeling now??
66 days today and feeling like absolute shit. Low grade headache everyday, exhausted, gaining weight, depression… but I’m
Also going through a divorce . He’s in the cannabis industry so im around it everyday.
Thank you for this. I smoked for 30 years and I miss it but I know it’s not good for me.
Being 60 days sober but life trama gives me anxiety. When will be my life get better don't know
I had a on off headache and just generally feeling tired after I slept 10 or more hours ???!?!?! Neck pain general feeling of anxiety and week in the legs arms all of that did u feel the same way?!?!??
@@robertpreciado1274 aye mate relax. Most of the symptoms are gone. Now anhedonia is remaining. You will be fine just don't relapse. Drink water and just stay low
Sorry fot you been smoking been smoking for 30 years quit cold turkey got over all withdrawal in two week s but now three weeks later I am a beast. Don't give up my friends you will come out of this shitty addiction!!
Hey how are you now ?
I lost tons of weight ( I went from 140 pounds to 108, I’m a short guy) and throughout the years (18-31 years old)
And I stopped smoking weed a couple times for months at a time and felt great but relapsed each time. I had horrible acid reflux and it changed the way my gut reacts to food. But after quitting I always got better and I always denied that it was the weed but now I know I will not touch it again as a daily user and will take at least 2-3 years off completely. It’s very unfortunate that society does not talk about these issues pertaining to chronic cannabis use.
Thank you doctor !
Sober from weed since December 1st (3:30 am) physical withdrawals are pretty much gone. Stopped eating junk food and almost lost 5 pounds. I can’t thank you enough doc 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for normalizing all this stuff, Doc. I'm almost at 3 weeks with THC and almost 2 weeks with Nic. For every side effect that starts to clear up it feels like 2 new ones start. I'm a hot mess and that's ok since I at least have the self awareness to see I was a way hotter mess before 🤣
You are bad ass for quitting both within a week of each other. Nicotine is next thing to tackle for me (only 6 days sober from weed). Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
@@magooosy Thanks! It's been a looong time, a lot of attempts, and a shift in mindset that helped me to realize nic was re-triggering my thc addiction and vice versa. Whenever I kept one in my life it would eventually lead to the other being used again whether it was weeks, months or a year+. It was just a matter of time. Usually its the fact that I'll get down on myself for being addicted since both affect my self worth, say fuck it, and justify using the other putting me back at square one. I'm a man of absolutes and both make me feel weak, powerless, and inadequate when I'm using them and have done so for years without bringing any positives to the table. Don't give up. Listen to yourself and don't be afraid to stick up and fight to be the version of you that you want to be.
The biggest shift has just hanging around this channel and letting myself go from being brainwashed by addiction to being brainwashed out of it. Feels like every vid I watch from Dr. Frank puts another tool in my toolbox and helps me separate the addicted thoughts from the ones that align with who I actually am and is giving me a confidence in sobriety that wasn't there before.
Sorry for the ramblings. Hopefully that mostly made sense to everyone else on this planet lol.
It took months for me to feel normal. Stay strong there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
@@cadencarson2997 Even if it got way worse why would I start using the things again that made me feel this way in the first place? Been there, done that. Pretty damn resolute this time around. I want a quality of life that was unachievable with the life I was living.
@@HansyPants184 exactly we all got one Shot at life so why not make it a good one!
I’m on day 10 no THC and I totally feel crazy, it’s an emotional roller coaster! Everything makes me cry, good or bad but I also get moments of extreme high energy where I almost feel like I’m on stimulants 😂 my sleep schedule is a mess! I’ve been working out and eating healthy since it’s the only thing I can control right now and it does make me feel better.
@Javier I would take some melatonin so I would still get a good amount of sleep, and I would workout mid day when I had the most energy. Keep going! Pretty soon you’ll be feeling better and much more balanced out!
I’ve been getting 2-3 hours of sleep a night the past 4 days but during the day, I feel like I’m on cocaine lol
Can’t wait to go back to normal
@@willjackson6729 how's things now?
@@OliHandy2008 good, 28 days sober!
Feeling all this my man!! I’m on day 11 but I still get nervousness or anxious when I’m about to go do something I hate it :( I hope it goes away and it’s the withdrawal doing it’s thing :(
Dr. Addiction Mindset saved my Life. I would have gone insane.
legit took me like 2 months to feel normal after 2 year daily use
How are you doing now? Do you think it was all worth it?
Same for me, how are you doing now?
Hey how are you ?
The hot flashes and chills are unreal. The panic attacks are the worst i've had in my life i'm on day 3 when will the anxiety and panic wane? It is becoming unbearable
I have an underlying anxiety disorder that i was self medicating btw
I’m also going through weed withdrawals. I’m on day 4. Just know that this is temporary and that you’re body is curing itself. Tough times create tough people 💯
Hey how are you doing now ?
Flashes and chills and Anhedonia are unreal! Never been able to make it passed day 2. Wish me luck! Day 1 today! Phew 😅
I am super grateful for you and your channel. This is exactly what I need right now. Bless you. I will be watching your videos for support through this process. I feel like crying just watching your video .. like I'm gonna make it through it this time. I've tried quitting for two years now. I needed this type of help and support... to really understand what is going on is major. Thank you so much.
Going Through It Now.
Five days in
So grateful for this channel!
Thank you so much for this video (and all others) i asked for the video yesterday ♥️ first optimistic day even a few real laughs have happened after last terror weeks
I was at 3 months clean and then relapsed because I went to a hangout
I’m now at one month fresh again
I’m confident this time
The anxiety from time to time
With the phantom pains is the one for me
Feel like something’s wrong w my chest but it isn’t
It’s just the body asking for more cannabis
I’ll get through it
Whenever I get a little anxious I come and watch a video of yours to keep my mind at ease and the feeling passes
To anyone else going through it
It will get better
is it on the left side of your chest, i'm about 40 days in get this chest pain when twisting/moving a certain way.
@@ogdoprah I get this, I'm so scared for the chest pains again, but hoping it doesn't happen
@@AmbersSweatyChoker Mines almost all gone, we will get through this. Just part of the process.
Thank you Dr. Frank for your amazing videos. This really is helping me today as im on day 24 and depression and anhedonia have been hitting me hard over the last few days. I am still hopeful.
Thank you so much for this info. It has put me at ease through this time in my life. On 1 month weed free after smoking it heavily for years… And I was starting to get worried. 😣
Thank you Doc.Love the videos very motivating, after 30 years Im leaving Mary. I appreciate your vulnerability & honesty.
Doc, Thank you do much for sharing the truth. It really helps knowing I’m not alone.
I'm on day 4 ,
I've smoked bud for 25 years
Thank you for your insight
I am starting to get sleep again
Whoa! Congrats! 🙌👍🙌
lol 4 days is nothing man. Try 6 months and see how you feel. A lot of people, like me, have insomnia that rebounded, lethargy, etc. months after the initial withdrawal symptoms subsided. Good luck..
^ such an unhelpful comment. 4 days is an incredible achievement.
@@auralplex 4 days IS something. Way to knock someone down
For me my symptoms only get noticeble after one or two weeks of being sober but i couldn't go more than a month a month and a half without relapsing or using other substances like alcohol or xan
You are a model for me, I discovered ur channel 2 or 3 days ago and ive been searchinf for that kind of content for a long time. Im reading ure freebook for now.
I'm on day 6, after seven years of daily inebriation.... thanks for the pep talk.... hope ya all are well
Day 5 now, yesterday my bones were hurting so bad I couldn’t even work. I just hope today is better. Thanks for the support it really helps
How long did you experience bone pain from withdrawal? I'm going through this now and it's terrible. Thanks
I’ve noticed a lot of joint pain from smoking weed which prompted me to stop using. It almost felt like I was developing Arthritis.
I would like to say thank you for this helpful information I’m 4 days sober off street carts n it was all thanks to the motivation you gave me:)))!
your videos help me so much. Im an orphan so TH-cam videos is where I go for help. you are so relatable and break it down so its is to digest. thank you for sharing these videos and stories. I will be a strong person and a healthier mother.
I've smoked weed my whole life tried to quit several times but never looked at it in a way where I could still support weed until watching these videos now I'm 8 days in and looking at it in a whole new light thanks Dr.Frank
Made the decision to quit after 20 years of heavy daily use haven’t quit yet I’m so nervous but these videos are definitely helping me work up the courage to get there
You won't regret it. Hope you have achieved the sober dream you deserve. ❤
On day 23 of quitting. After a good couple of days, stress triggered extremely vivid nightmares for me. It sucks but it really helps to think of it as my brain recalibrating, like you said. Thanks for validating our experiences Dr. Frank!
Hey the dreams and nightmares are actually your brain healing it’s trauma. REM sleep is used for emotional regulation and mental healing , and that gets almost shut off with weed, so your brain is basically giving itself therapy
How are you Hun ?
Hey dude did you get any better?
Man, great video, great content.
One week today for me
hey has anyone expirenced severe panic attacks? im on day 2 i feel like im dying or having a heart attack or stroke anyone else? im getting "wake up panic attacks" its very scary and i hope it ends soon
Yeah Man same thing happening to me
@@92lZl i just seen this, yea ur right man it was just from panic attacks/anxiety. thanks for replying. i hope that someone that needed to see this stumbles across this comment because i was so convinced i was having a stroke. scary stuff.
@HawaiiSurferDude how are now? I'm on day 6, and the anxiety is still kicking my ass, but I won't give up.
Yes, 4 days after quitting I felt tired beyond belief but had the idea that if I laid down I wouldn’t wake up, led to panic attack and went to hospital. A million tests and checked out normal and finally figured out what the cause of the attack was the next day, and that was such a relief . It’s been four months now and steadily better but still a ways to go. I still only have half a days energy before I am actually forced to nap for 20 mins . At the beginning I slept for 6-8 hrs during the day. Caffeine and alcohol only serve to make me feel worse, I suppose because my system is in such disequilibrium.
Stay strong it gets better , I kept a log book so I could read it over and see my improvement more easily and that helped me.
Yes, Cannabis withdrawals= low estrogen, among other things. This can affect the autonomic nervous system.
I’m glad that there’s these videos . I always thought that weed would be a walk in the park to quit but not at all . I dident realize the withdrawal symptoms could be so nasty . Thanks for the video . The tips are helping me though .
I get the impression that you're the healthiest thing that weed users have in the world. All excellent information that makes me feel so much more normal
It's been more than a month since I quit. I felt good after two weeks of quitting, but I've noticed the symptoms returning, particularly anxiety and mood swings. Watching this video gives me hope. Thank you for that.
I’m in the same boat don’t give up.
Hey man how are you doing now did it subside?
@@dshomhey man how you feeling now?
This is my 3rd or 4th time trying to quit and this time I feel like I am fed up with Mary Jane. I hate the detox process. 😒 I'm between 24-36 hrs and my entire head feels fuzzy and my eyes were so tired I went to nap and couldn't nap lol. My belly is bubbling and I get random feverish feelings through the day. However these videos I have watched over and over and it helps just listening to the encouragement you give us. It's very appreciated.
This has been helpful. I could go on, but I’ll leave it at that for now. Nice to know this is a real thing, validates how I’ve been feeling. 21 days free of thc after a thirty year near daily habit . Smoked the stupid things like cigs.
5 month here! First 3 month was absolutely hell. Serious anxiety and panic attacks, nightmares, palpitations, insomnia, chest pain, headache and brain fog. Symptoms come on and goes for first 3 months. Now I can live like a normal person. Only fatigue and some bad dreams left from time to time but hitting the gym help a lot!
Thank you for this. I was a 30 year user. 66 days clean today feeling like pure shit
@@polisticyoga do u get shortness of breath too ?
@@soheilmashali922 yes
Have tou taken any medical help
I just had a bad anxiety attack walking to the shop with my family and I'm only on day 2. Feel so breathless and sweaty but I know I got this. I just come here when I'm feeling bad. It helps reading other people's comments and experiences.
Thanks Paul for the helpful words, may well be in touch
On day 7 after 7 years constant smoke (I grew up near Humboldt in California so weed was everywhere) my list of symptoms are diarrhea, anxiety, panic attacks, pins and needles, increased heart rate, stomach issues, Loss of appetite (feels like gerd lot of acid reflux) went to the hospital today they said it was anxiety. But these videos help so much I feel like a lot of other doctors don’t understand cannabis withdrawal but what do I know I’m not a doctor.
Looking forward to 1 month clean and then 1 year and so on (day 6 was the worst so far)
How are you now?
Inspiring video Frank. Some excellent information here. Good to know you have been there and done that. I've had to give up and for me the hardest part has been the nicotine withdrawal, as I always rolled using "spin". For me it's a fine line between addiction and use.
Thank you SO much for this video. I’m 3 months in (former heavy user) thought I was losing it and really had something wrong w me. I couldn’t understand how I felt so good in month 2 and now I feel like shit at the 90 day mark?? Waves of extreme fatigue, face feeling flush, anxiety through the roof, etc. And this is with making huge changes like NO sugar or carbs or alcohol, down 25 pounds, eating amazing whole healthy foods, exercising like a maniac, etc. I was just “joking” to a friend that I felt better when I was fat and stoned. i’m going to keep pushing ahead, but damn this is way harder than I ever imagined it would be.
Thanks again your videos have been a lifeline.
How you feeling now? I’m over 3 months and still can’t sleep properly
@@pjb9342 doing much better, thanks! Sleep is a tricky thing be patient with yourself. Check out Andrew Hubermans podcast about sleep it is long but really helpful. It might not be the detox solely responsible. Good luck!
How are you now?
How are u doing
Day 17 here, after more than a decade, 4-10 joints a day. Thank you good man, what else to say!!!! I searched whole my life something like this chanel....
proud of u, keep it up im on day 2 never thought id be this happy without it
Great information, very supportive
Day 3, things are getting better, I have energy today but still have night sweats and the cravings are bad. Anxiety peaks alot but I'm going strong. I'm hanging in there.
I also recently stopped. Trust it gets better by the day. You should be sleeping good in a few days.
Thank you, you have been incredibly helpful
Thank you for another super helpful video 🙏
I'm going through this also caffeine addiction and the after effects of narcissistic abuse and thank you for this video. I seriously have felt like I'm losing my mind and unfortunately the people in my life suck so I went from being able to handle them to actually feeling violent because they keep kicking me while I'm down. I miss weighttraining but I'm going to just give it a month and try to do a light workout because I need an outlet. I have been weaning and relapsing for about 2 years now from dabs, dry herb, caffeine, love & sex addiction so I think I'll be better off than it feels in this moment right now but I'm quite honestly in the fight of my life.
And on top of that I'm trying to get back into church but I honestly don't feel stable enough to be around people so it's a huge time of isolation for me. It's just a whole bunch of fuck 😪💀
@@ideasoftheshipwrecked I just went to the gym last night and used the massage machines and uv red light therapy with vibration plate 😂 since I got sober i have way less tolerance for ignorant people also so it's been good all in all lol
How are you now? Any improvements
I’m going through this toooooo😮
I also used weed to manage narcissist abuse syndrome.. I'm about 2 months out from daily use and my symptoms are so bad.. mainly anxiety and depression to a level I've never felt before.
Day 5 for me and I swear I haven't ate or sleep in that time, I've smoked everyday all day for 10 years, really is HARDER than I thought, but honestly YOU have really helped me with ur videos and advice so thank you so much😊🤘🏼
How are you now?
@@FacelessOnes I'm now officially over 6months, also I've put on 3 stone, never felt better.
This has been the most helpful vid ever, then you so much
Tried to quit smoking, turned to alcohol, and ended up using both pretty heavily. It's tough, but going into this with a little more knowledge of what to expect + these videos really help
This happened to me! Then went through a spiral of switching daily use between the two. Finally free of their grip for a few months now
Day 40, still ups and downs but "today was a good day"
Hey how are you ? I'm 39 days sober ups and downs its horrible
Wait a second, your a liscend doctor? Wow that gives me so much hope for myself. I have been a drug user since I was 14 now 23 and I've finally made the decision to quit smoking pot and cigarettes, I'm on week 3 of no pot but man the nicotine is hard.... I feel like such a loser though. You really give me hope
These videos are getting me through.
On CBD definitely watch out for CBD that has THC in it. It made my recovery much more difficult last time. Getting isolate has sped my recovery the next time around.
Also, journaling about what it's like to try one more time and having to go through recovery again was a very good tactic and lesson to make sure I remember the cost of "one more time."
Such a hard concept to grasp that it can be so beneficial to some people, yet so harmful for others. I think this is what makes it so hard to quit also, The mentality that it is a "medicine." I think after 20 years of abuse I became allergic to it. I get near anaphylaxis symptoms sometimes after a hit or two, and that was enough finally to scare me into stopping. Just crazy everything I wished for smoking at a younger age has come true with regards to quality, quantity, and legality...yet I can't enjoy it now. The high just isn't worth all the shitty symptoms I get. The part you said about cannabis messing with your pain receptors in spot on. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and smoking only made the pain worse. Makes me think cannabis was the cause of this unexplainable pain. All I know is the paws can't be any worse than the feelings of anaphylaxis and feeling faint, weak, dizzy, spastic, breathless, throat closed up, extreme chronic pain, jaw issues, heart palpitations and chest pain etc etc. I hope some day I feel better. Who knows maybe I really do have fibromyalgia and won't get better...but a big part of me thinks it's the cannabis screwing with my system that caused all my issues. Thanks for the video
Are you better now??
@FacelessOnes I am successfully into month 3 of quitting. Doesn't sound like a long time but feels like forever. I have fibromyalgia and severe tmjd so I will technically never feel better, but yes overall I feel better not smoking all the time. Passed my first pee test with my own pee for a job I've been wanting. That was a big win in my book. Thanksnfor asking friend
@FacelessOnes I can confirm the heart palpitations and odd symptoms of my heart skipping beats has fully stopped. I've had a few panic attacks since but nothing like when I was high. I used to follow a post acute withdrawal symptom forum and alot of people said it took them 1 to 2 years to start truly feeling 'normal' again. So who knows maybe in a year or two I'll actually feel somewhat better. I mean 20 years of use all-day everyday surely took its toll
4 weeks in.. vivid dreams are crazy..
Thank you for speaking about this, there is barely anyone speaking about the fact that you can experience PAWS from weed. Most people think you can only experience it from heavy drugs, and before I posted on the /leaves subreddit after 2 months sober describing my symptoms, I thought something was very seriously wrong with my brain and body. As you said, no one in my real life believed me, and people I know that have quit weed before told me there is no way that withdrawal symptoms from weed last longer than a few weeks. I hope you know how needed this information is. Thank you again
Same here 2 months and just had a paws flare for the last 2 days lol...achy cracking bones, fatigue, irritation, angry, etc. I'm also in recovery from hard drugs( 11 yrs prior) and I can say this is definitely Paws.

Day three and I’m not really experiencing too much strife except falling asleep. I am nervous that the worst is yet to come
Quit 4 days ago and had to take a sick day at work because the withdrawal symptoms were so bad. I was a daily, heavy smoker (mostly pens) for about 6 years with really no break in between. I've been having terrible night sweats, headaches and it feels like I have the flu. Still going strong though!
Annedonia is the correct word I've actually experienced this when I was quitting crystal methamphetamine and everything you're saying doctor is correct I am sick right now I have a flu but the good part about it is I am getting better I'm on day four now and I'm going to stop counting some but I'm still understanding and realizing my reality that it is not going to be easy but it does get better
Good afternoon Dr frank!
Day 4, things are getting better. I need this and everyday seems to get easier and easier I'm struggling but I think I can make it
How are you?
You’ve helped me so much
I’m now at 2 weeks with no cannabis use after 14 years of smoking. During the lockdown I was smoking as much as 3.5g a day and deluding myself that it was helping to deal with my problems rather than just numbing me to them. Some days have been easier than others so far but I’m feeling much happier, confident and true to myself. Good luck to everyone going through the same process, we got this guys!
How u doing now?
@@John-vt3gt still haven’t had any weed and my life feels great! I no longer feel the urge to get high and my career, relationships and finances have improved massively since I stopped!
@@TheHarrysf123 yes, about 2-3grams a day for myself too. Are you still off it?
Is your anxiety better? It’s killing me
@@FacelessOnes I haven’t felt any anxiety since about a month or two after quitting! I’m 13 months without weed and it’s best decision I ever made, everything in my life has improved.. relationships, finance, mental and physical health.. stick with it you got this!
This video is pretty accurate. Another important part is social circles. Most cannabis users have friends that use cannabis as well. After quitting the drug, one may become lonely because firstly these so called friends will try to convince you to use cannabis, if you resist, they will slowly ignore you or you will ignore them. As a result, you may become lonely, and making new sober friends might seem difficult and it takes time to make lasting relationships. Hang in there friends.
I'm looking forward to meeting a whole new circle ❤ and coming out of my small, isolated weed bubble ❤
I’ve been 2 months clean off weed and 6 months off nicotine. I quit because I was feeling the severe symptoms of chs and I can say now that the symptoms have died down a bit but I still get very nauseous whenever I go out or look at a plate of food. I feel as if I get anxiety when it comes to just going out or doing anything because I’m worried I’ll feel sick. The more I watch your these videos about weed it makes me feel slightly better about myself when you say there is a light at the end of the tunnel because I just want to feel normal.
Keep hanging in there! That’s great progress but for many the 90 day mark is a key point in feeling better. Just keep on the path your doing great
It took a while to get to this point, so it’s gonna take some time to get out of it! Hang in there! I’m flooding my brain with these videos until I’m out of the woods!
Hello!! how are you feeling now!! Is there anyway you can give a honest update!? Thank you!
Keep going man I quit weed and alcohol yesterday moved on all paraphernalia and weed from house. Have been drinking and smoking weed for a little under a year with this last relapse. I've found in the past the recovery takes a few weeks for me with noticeable improvements then the improvements are less noticeable but still continue for months and years
Lmao I’m on day 5 no thc and my 420 friends are telling me how everything is in my head. So funny how you mentioned it 😆
Oh man I appreciate this video so much im almost a year sober now and still dealing with this. I relate to everything u said very helpful bro
Do you still have physical symptoms after a year? Can you share please what you’ve been dealing with after a year sober? 👍🙏👍
@@Tatyana_Co well im replying on the perfect day. Today marks exactly a year sober the 9th of january. Im not dealing with any physical symptoms at all other than fatigue and tiredness all the time which is just a result of the depression. Other than that its just complete mental the symptoms are slowly and i mean extremely slowly slightly getting better every day. The anxiety is way less than the first few months but still definitely there as well as the depression. The anhedonia has improved so much in comparison to the first few months, im starting to slowly find things fun again that i used to without being stoned. Its still very much there though. Basically in short the physical symptoms are completely gone and the mental symptoms are very slowly getting better with each day. :)
@@Daniel-oj4lx how about now ?
@@yannismoulod775 still dealing with it bro not even gonna lie to u
@@Daniel-oj4lx i feel you man, do you feel sometimes like you anxiety attacks ? Am 10 months in and had an anxiety attack yesterday for the first time in 10 months lol , I thought I was done with it lol but apparently not
Best video on this.❤
I’m fighting man , it’s hard man but we make it 😢💪🏾
3 weeks off it now and i feel much better. Had every symptom until now. Still have mad dreams, wake up atleast once or twice during sleep but now sleeping at a normal cycle and being able
to go back to sleep relatively quick. Still don’t feel 100% yet but ill expect that for another week or two. Still have mood swings. Apart from that, im much more productive and doing better for it.
That’s fantastic! Good for you :)
How long would did it take for you to feel normal again?
Today is day 3 of my sobriety. I have chs and it's been really hard. All the withdrawal symptoms plus the chs really sucks. I've been telling all my friends about it and they support my decision. But also it's a big factor I'm my life cause all I would do is smoke and skate with 5 people all day.
2 weeks in , I've had intense cluster headaches, pain and numbness all over my body, reassuring that this is common , has really helped with my health anxiety as I've been feeling like I'm dying😂
Wow, very interesting. I have too stop drinking & smoking weed for a test. It is so hard, only 2 days left. It’s horrible. I’m retired so life is boring, lonely, for me, especially our world these days. Thank you!!
I'm coming up to my 4th week and I'm going through this, didn't really hit until week 2. It's hell and I'm just hoping it ends soon. Headaches are off the charts, lots of nausea and my blood pressure spikes in the mid afternoon. Am eating healthy, drinking lots of water and exercise regularly. Have stopped drinking coffee, eating sweets and don't drink alcohol, really hope it ends soon.
Im where you are at, pretty grim hey. Still want to quit though 👍
@@ruthspringett6230 I'm on day 3 how are you?
How are you?
Brother same here i was like wtfff bad neck pain that traveled up the key was to choose one or the other smoke or don’t anxiety has been high since i relapsed and smoked again matter of fact when i used to smoke i loved driving but that shit put me down so bad after relapsing i had to get my ex bitch to come pick me up quit entirely or use sparingly mostly around bedtime hopefully your symptoms will die down pray about it as well
Update?
Your thumbnails are funny as hell man!
I enjoy making them way to much
day 3 ! thank you!
Just passed the two week mark. CBD has been crucial. The mood swings and fatigue are nuts!!
You still off it ?
@@tjhughes9099 Yes! Best decision ever. Took a few months for symptoms
@@juliamichas
Well done !
Really helped you? Did you take isolate or broad spectrum?
Did you take CBD gummies, tincture or flower? You are a treat by the way 😍
I quit a week ago after THC induced heart attack.
THC is hard to quit if one believes it harmless.
37 years daily use!
I just have sweats really.
They are subsiding now but when ever you write anything negative about weed, the addicts pounce, insult and deny......
EVEN if I tell them about what THC prescribers say!
Best to check ones heart often if you smoke.
It's obviously still best to be legal due to the harm caused by prohibition etc.
Had progressively worse anxiety after years of smoking. got much worse with oil cartidges. Quit 2 weeks ago but still have anxiety. Blood test also shows elevated calcium serum. Not sure if its the cannabis withdrawl
I got addicted to black market carts 6 months ago and tried to quit since. I smoked 8 within 5 months and quit for a week. Unfortunately I relapsed and smoked 4 within 2 weeks. I finally quit and been sober for 6 days. I went through with drawls while cramming for a SAT last Saturday 😂. I don’t think I did too well wish I had the 6 months back
Great job! Your mental capacity will come back 👍
im sick of waking up not feeling rested. i want my rem sleep back
...and doesn't THC hangout in body fat as well? So every once in while for the first couple months, your body is gonna be releasing that THC, which probably leads to cravings right? I'm really appreciating these videos. Its helping me get through these first few days. I'm thankful this info is so easy to access! Thank you for all the recording/editing!
was this the case for you? How long did it take you?
@@FacelessOnes I think somewhere around the 3 month mark for me. I starting feeling like I wasn't really wanting it anymore. The hardest thing is the mental stuff...its like cigarettes...the idea of being stoned is always more fun than actually being stoned. (...and really...people just get used to stoned state...its a known entity...if you suffer from depression like me...sometimes stoned is better than hopeless and at least I know what stoned feels like and how to operate while stoned. Sometimes I don't know how to move forward when depressed...)
some say 3-5 years
23 yr user here only 20 days sober
I use coffee to cope but its making extra anxious
Thank you
The muscle pains, twitches, and occasional tremors are still with me and I'm 7 months sober. These withdrawal symptoms send my anxiety through the roof. I can't stand them.
Hope your feeling better, I’m having the same journey.
Are you feeling better now?
@@ladyville3 how is that going now ?
Has it gotten better for you? I hope so . I'm 90 days into being sober but still dealing with aches and pains. Thanks
@@vincentzingone5074 going good, today is one of those days I feel great but the last 2 weeks were bad with a minor panick attacks but it’s up and down and I am 10 months in..
Dont forget glutamate!! Thats what excited the cells and causes mania when quitting
Your totally correct most people don’t know this. I’ve had to cut it out.
Been 4 months no weed, 1 month no CBD products. Thanks Frank
ive noticed cbd makes it worse for me, i had to quit both. proud of u bro
@@hawaiisurferdude6714 CBD made it worse???
why no CBD products?
@@hawaiisurferdude6714 I noticed it was making it worse for me too i had to watch what cbd I was using certain places that sell cbd it’s not real cbd
Can you address what CBD does for recovery? I feel like it's helped, but... I'm not positive. It kinda almost feels like now I'm addicted to it a bit. I can't tell if it's keeping withdrawal symptoms a bit or if it's helping.
I just know it helps me get a full night's sleep.
I'd like to know more about the good and the bad and what to look out for or maybe what best products to make sure one sticks to.
