Thanks u, for the motivation ! Tomorrow makes day 4. It’s tough but I don’t have a urge to smoke , just feeling all of the withdrawal symptoms.
Been smoking regularly since I was 17. I’m 27 now and I quit a week ago. The insomnia, and depression are the roughest parts of this detox process. To anyone who is struggling these videos are a guiding light in a dark cave. Thanks so much for these videos.
Did you ever experience depersonalization when going sober? I’ve been experiencing it past few days, more so towards night time and it’s scary.
@Joshua :) haven’t smoke for 2 days life is boring
@@draccoivxx30 be getting that at work sometimes especially when I stop cold turkey with weed , and the depression after stopping cold turkey is sometimes unbearable, but I always have the thought process that it’s just temporary and it’s for the better which helps push through the days
@@draccoivxx30 opposite for me bro. My personality has come back
i dont wanna pass trought that depression and insomnia, I prefer keep smokin
Started smoking at 18. I’m 27 now. It’s ridiculous how one month turns into one year turns into one entire forsaken decade.
Try 3 decades..my life is bs mate
Yep. I quit at 45 years old and it’s like stepping out of a time capsule. Trying to figure out who I am now.
@@mchankerhoff853that’s my reality right now
@@mchankerhoff853 how is it going ?
@@siiNke still sober. I feel very clear. I still get bored at night but it’s getting easier.
I quit 6 months ago and, honestly, the only thing that improved was my short term memory… slightly. I had hobbies when I smoked weed, but now I don’t have the passion for anything. What I can say is that I’ve never been happy, even as a child. I was always dissatisfied with everything. When I started smoking, I experienced real joy for what felt like the first time. I used to smoke and clean my house, work on projects, make websites, etc. Now I don’t smoke and my house is a mess and all I do is work and work out. Working out helps while I’m doing it, but as soon as I’m home alone, I feel like garbage and I have no satisfaction in anything.
Might have to talk to someone I'm on day 1 lol I feel like shit 🙃
I can totally relate to your feelings, you're not alone.
Man, I could have wrote this. This describes it perfectly.
This is scary.
Don’t stop looking for new hobbies! My gf got me into hiking and being out in nature and as a sedentary stoner who only finds joy in weed and video games it has improved my physical and mental health so much. Just find a friend and take them with you! I promise you won’t regret it 💚
Commenting for the algorithm. This is an underrated channel
Thank you! Every little bit helps, I really appreciate it
It seriously is, entertaining and because of this dude I’m gonna go my official first week since 2012 without tobacco/nicotine, alcohol, and weed. I’m on the last stage of getting weed out
@@deleukc Kevin!!! I am so happy I just saw this, makes my night knowing I was part of your journey... 🙏💪
@@AddictionMindset I’m gonna keep at it too, I finally got the confidence and excitement to finally be the person I’ve been imagining for years! Thank you so much!
HONESTLY, THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE SUBS. I don’t know what I would have done without it
Quitting weed is pure pain. But as with all pain, you get used to it and then it stops and you are stronger and wiser. Have faith!
I got severe anxiety disorder, panic attacks and quitting weed has made me feel so much better.
Still got bad anxiety but the derealization has stopped and that's a blessing.
Thanks for your videos.
Honestly I went from daily panic attacks to now like 4 years sober and it’s so worth it! Glad to hear you are doing well and in the right direction
How did I you fight derealization😳😳
@@timmy4469 take slow steps in your mind to fight the fear and gradually it gets better or get prescribed ssris for anxiety x depression also magic mushrooms helped me see things differently it helped i had intense dp for 2 years
@@andredecelis327 hey..how can I go on with the magic mushroom..bruh depersonalization is eating me up feels like hell
@@timmy4469I feel depersonalization daily too man your not in it alone I pray for you it’s a terrible feeling. How is it going now? I’m 7 days clean from 5 years if smoking and want to know if everything will be ok in the future because life feels unreal all the time like I’m watching it rather than living it.
You can get through this.
You are enough.
This gave me hope ❤
I’m one year sober and have ups and downs but nothing like I was when I was actively addicted. My weed smoking made me more depressed. Now much happier
I found the only time I really actually enjoyed weed is while im consuming it, about 30 minutes later I start feeling crappy and want to consume more and it just becomes a vicious cycle.
Yeah, that’s true. You get all dudded out and can’t think straight and feel kinda crappy after that 30 min. But here I am 5 months sober and I’m not much better than when I was smoking. I’m a miserable bastard.
Yup
This the 1!!!!! When u sober u wanna smoke but when u high u regret it and don't wanna smoke nomore and start talking shit bout yourself
woke up this morning absolutely bawling my soul out for no appearent reason. I am 1 week in now, thanks for the video!
I'm only 23 hours into going cold turkey from nicotine. I don't even remember feeling this miserable when I quit weed. Perhaps I was and just didn't notice since I'm just now learning that depression can happen when you go cold turkey from a substance
I'm on day 3 and bro my emotions are all over the place, I feel confused sometimes, shit iv even had moments of crying, I did 10 years daily smoking, the past 3 years was heavy smoking, but I'm not going to relapse anymore, I'm pushing through and you can too! Can't stop won't stop!
Got to win it... Be stronger of mind!! And things will be better.. I'm doing the same process so stay strong
Hope it’s still going good
How are you doing?
I started smoking weed everyday for about 5 months never struggled with depression, anxiety, and anger quit cold turkey and it’s been almost 2 weeks now I have some days where I want to kill everyone I see and other days I’m in bed crying all day it’s nuts I hate it. I didn’t even smoke that long I have no idea why it’s this bad
How's it going bud?
How are you feeling now?
How are you doing?
@@hvz0078 100% over it thankfully have been for awhile
I think it's probably really easy for someone to post one video on this subject and never be heard from again.
I absolutely love how dedicated Dr Frank is and how committed he is to helping people lead truly richer lives. It's really meaningful and inspiring to me, especially since I rarely give any sort of credit to a TH-cam personality. Props to Dr Frank and his team, your commitment to helping people improve themselves is absolutely amazing. Glad I found your channel.
This made my night!! Makes it 100000% worth it! Thank you
I’m almost 2 months without weed and for the last 8-9 years I was smoking at least 5-10 times a day without any breaks. I quit because it had a strange effect on me, I realized that even though it was euphoric it took a lot away from my confidence, social skills, finances, and ambition. Surprisingly the first month was the easiest part for me with little to no withdrawals or side effects. I thought stopping would effect my appetite, sleep, and happiness but overall all of those things have remained the same. All throughout my addiction I thought I would never be able to stop and ultimately powerless over a plant. I’m at the point where I do have mood swings which sucks but because I was honest with everyone in my life about what I was doing and why I was doing it. This past week has been a lot harder for me psychologically but im not willing to go back because the positives have definitely outweighed the negatives from stopping. My emotions flood in so intensely sometimes that I cry from euphoria, but other times I feel extremely bored and somewhat depressed. I’m finally getting back to all of the things I was passionate about in my younger years and my relationships with my coworkers, friends, family, and girlfriend are improving. I’ll be turning 28 a few months from now and figured it was about time to stop, or at least try. Before it was too late and all of my dreams and ambitions fade away into late adulthood. If any of you feel like you need to stop you have to try at least, it makes it easier taking it a day at a time and reminding yourself that if things ever get really bad you could always go back whenever you want. The only thing keeping me sober is I did not quit forever. It’ll always be there, but the earlier you can break the cycle the better. After almost 2 months I can see that I was a lot more depressed while I was using. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there somehow so here they are.
I feel this, it kills drive and ambition makes you content. It’s like a blind that makes everything feel okay when it’s not. The first 2 months are the easiest and it gets rough as you go on. Stay up we got this ✊🏼
how are u now smoking weed made me depressed i feel hopeless
@Arman_sleezy regulate. smoke occasionally
Turn depression into being proud of how far u have come!
Exactly! I always say to myself: Fuck this shit! I’m the best
Day 82 sober and completely clean and free … my depression has gotten a little better
That sounds like progress to me! One day at a time my friend!
I'm 3 months since I stopped cold turkey and I feel depressed 😢😢😢 and some anxiety 😢😢
Yesterday was my first day sober, I was so stressed out on what I want to do for the rest of my life that I broke down and started questioning myself about life.
Still sober?
I quit 3 days ago and i even feel anxiety thinking about leaving my bed. Is this normal? I think im losing my mind... hope it gets better.
Tip: watch tv series or even go play football, it will distract your mind and that’s the only way to get rid of anxiety(stop thinking about it).
How r u nw
@@s-s_gill3001 Good advice
Been smoking since 18 I'm 37, stopped 7 months ago and I'm more depressed then ever
After 25 years, I'm a month in to stopping. Been working out, everything is better except I've realized how terrible most people are. I was always so positive and happy, and now I see how people really are. They are only good to me if if they need something from me, or I've done things for them. Otherwise people are horrible. I'm thankful to see the truth now, but it's shitty.
This comments sums up what I feel also 👊🏼 time to snip snip these bitches out init
This
Right? And being a stoner might make it easier for people to use you, say shit to you, or i mean, you may not be so quick to make a comeback lol. I sometimes think having more friends could help, or even a gf, lol, yes i'm OPEN TO ONE but it's not a main goal! And another point, enemies might make better friends, you already got past the bs, you now have shit to prove to eachother, funny how life works. The book even says if you don't have any, make some lol. Some people do suck, avoid them at all costs, they will drain us and take us down with their misery. Some people definitely think the same about stoners, think about it...
I'm also learning that all good things, even friendships or mentorships may come to end at some point and that's ok.
Me too I’m four days sober and can see everyone for what they truly are now and I have a strong disdain for humanity. Nothing would satisfy me more than to see the whole world burn. I’m not sober by choice I lost my regular connect and it’s sent me into a deep dark hole of depression. I want weed back in my life. It made me good at art music I enjoyed sports card collecting. Now all I see is how pathetic humanity is how everyone wants to just use me manipulate me and lie to me. I feel so lost.
@@BigDirtySSdid you go back
I crave weed the hardest at night and going through your videos helps so much. Thank you my dude
Everyone in the comments I just want to tell you all that I love you guys, we are all dealing with a similar struggle and im glad im not the only going through this
Doc Frank always here with another relevant video. No one else online puts things the same way you do
Thank you so much for this kind compliment! It means a lot!
First week without marijuana (15 years everyday heavy smoker) after coming down with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. The sadness is hitting me hard. It’s like I have SO MUCH to grieve that I didn’t fully take in over those years. I was blocking out so many things with the weed. It helped me cope I guess but not productively. and not I have catching up to do. 😞 the mental aspect of this is truly the most difficult.
How are you now?
@@hvz0078 I’m feeling really good, thanks for asking! Not smoking weed has cleared up a lot for me. I’m way less anxious and paranoid/ in my head. I still have a lot to process and that will continue to trickle in slowly. I’m in a really good place in my life now. Expecting my first child in September and very excited about that!! I honestly never thought I would be a parent but it’s the most exciting new chapter to embrace. I am in a really healthy and loving relationship for the first time in my life which is also helping me heal tremendously. Thanks again for asking. I’m honestly super grateful for the hyperemesis episode because it forced me to stop a habit I wanted to stop but didn’t feel I had full control over.
@@hvz0078dead
I hope your life is incredible now. I know how you feel, went through extreme sadness when I quit kratom cold Turkey. But so thankful there is always a way out. Always light
@@lc9685 thank you that’s incredibly kind and I wish the same for you!
8 weeks in now, your videos help me stay on it.
Huge progress right there! 🙏
I found you too late my friend. I've definitely damaged my lungs and now find it impossible to sleep. I've been quit since early September and these things aren't getting better. I have chronic pain now in my ribs and diaphragm too. If you have any tips on forgiving oneself, that would be useful right about now. Keep fighting the good fight.
I’m two months in and fell into deep depression. I found you today and I’m glad. I feel lost, I was high all the time and being retired I feel scared to have this much time on my hands. I was everyone’s hero on social media, traveling and living large but it was all fueled by weed and now it’s hard to find my new normal.
@@Aurora-ep6bd I made it six months and I don’t miss it! Occasionally I smell it and miss it but my new life is real and satisfying and most of my friends like the calmer version of me to the manic one from before. Good luck!
@@Aurora-ep6bd I joined an online recovery group and they are very caring and supportive. Ween music group formed from fans. Meet 3x a week. I realize weed isn’t BAD. It was just bad for me. And you have to adjust to a new life but I’m very happy! And richer!
If you got money and time you got all you need in life to find something that interests you, good goals gratz
I smoked for 2 years straight. Went cold turkey by going back to my hometown as the substance is not available back home. This was the best way to force myself quit. 9 days i have not smoked any weed. I get dreams about things i desired and wanted sometimes the dreams are so depressing i wake up feeling the same thing and carry it along day. During the day i even with weed i used to workout so i kept that as i knew this would help me. Meet your friends, go for that long car ride, slowly things will fall in place. You are not late. You will feel numb, feel like time is just going past quickly. Dont be too hard on yourself. Give yourself time. Good luck. I am planning to never go back will update you all so thay this section remains like a reference point for me. I will comment here after 30 full days of no weed which will help you to see things from my perspective.
I'm in the same situation
So how’d it go? 👀
@@algjr951i not only quit weed for good but also stopped watching porn and started semen retention. I am clean for more than 30 days without porn, weed and alcohol. I started working on my goals, i was working out anyway so that got better. I have much better sleep quality, i tend to think in long term and i feel much happier and calm than before. Rewire your brain guys. Get close to god, work on ur goals this is only life youve got. Weed, porn and other substances are work of devil which takes u away from God.
Update ?
Jump cut to now. I went back to UK where I was smoking as I had to continue with my career. I started smoking again. Went into same spiral. I even forgot i commented this when i was sober back home. I smoke weed once before i sleep due to work shit. I have decided to quit but I know i wont if i just keep being hard on urself. I feel like work is really important. Focus on yourself. Start running 3k everyday. And keep working. Once u find a purpose you will quit everything. Its not just weed its about all other addiction like porn, alcohol or nicotine. Need to get out of this rabbit hole but wont happen in 30 days it will take time.
On week 3 without weed after smoking everyday for 2 years and another year of trying to quit but failing. I know for a fact I have broken my addiction and to anyone that’s going what I went through I promise every day it gets better
Did you experience the anhedonia or depression during ur withdrawals and if so how long did it last for you
48 days without W after 10 years heavy, couldn't of done it without your advice and videos. You're God sent! If I can do it ANYONE can!! Thank you 👏💙
Hello. Can you please tell me how long it takes to feel better? Ty
@@guilhermemorita5537How u feel now? Im on day 52 and still feel depressed & weird
14 days sober and I’m sleepy tired heaviness on my mind. It can’t be the weed. I would have been able to overcome this feeling with a blunt. Smoking herb is a lifestyle so if you battle with aniexty and depression I know it hard. I started smoking in 2011 and I was fine until I stopped! I’m lost I don’t like pharmaceuticals or nor do I want to take meds.
Somedays I’m normal for parts of the day but towards the end of my day i feel like something missing. I’ve lost weight and my girl who stopped with me has a disability.. she suffers from depression and since she stopped you can really see how shifted she has become. She looks fatigue most day now it’s like pressure and it shows on her face. I don’t know if this is the right decision or the worse. Not seeing the benefits this way around
Hey I just quit and I’m starting to feel depressed. I’ve been loving my life and the only reason I quit was to give myself a break but not I’m regretting it
My belief in God is the only thing that can help me with depression
How are you feeling now?
Weed started as a war with boredom that then made me feel like life was boring without it. It’s taken a lot for me to overcome my addiction. My sleep has still not been the same. I simply don’t get restful sleep anymore which has a big mental effect on me but I still fight the battle. I’ve been in and out for the last 10 years and the advantage is I know my triggers so I stay clear. But the battle never stops. My mind tells me it misses the feeling, but I know the shame will far outweigh the short term joy of the high.
How are u feeling now? I'm almost 7 months sober and I'm still dealing with anedonhia and some anxiety
I'd like to take a moment to thank you doc. I have just been through absolute hell with a 12 day full blown attack with CHS by the sounds of other people's experiences mine ranked right up there with the worst I am only 21 days sober and realize I have a long never ending journey ahead. I wouldn't even know what it was without your channel 4 visits to the ER in that time and no doctor could tell me what it was, one even tried to tell Mr was a stomach ulser and tried to give me codeine. Have hit some really low points but I have a great life, business, home and partner and have so much to be greatful for. Everyday I have watched multiple videos of yours and it gives me huge amounts of strength. I really feel what you are doing is making a huge difference to so many of us and can't thank you enough. Sending full love all the way from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thanks Richard! It really means alot and your 21 days in not “only” 21 days in, don’t discredit yourself!
I’m watching this right after smoking 😤,weed .thc was helping my depression,But I’m thinking about quitting I need to stop procrastinating my stomach issues are getting worse bad CHS that is. Abusing thc for 15+ years has created a problem that’s worse than my depression.Don’t abuse,medicate of or end up like me😔I’m at a hard spot in my life rite now dealing with addiction to thc🤢
Thank you for sharing this!
Stay strong
im 34 n started smokin at 14, i just quit because i wanted control over myself n just to see if i could, , first day and holy shit its hard i wanna smoke a joint so bad, i didnt know i was addicted until today n its like ...oh shit...maybe i am addicted, im struggling
2 weeks clean from weed 2moro after a 20 year daily habit. Your videos have been a big help thanks dude. My energy and breathing have improved so much already and my sleep is slowly getting better ! Dreaming every night and I love it !
So glad to hear you are doing well! Honestly that’s awesome! Big congrats on that
I’m trying to quit again for about the 19th time. I’m on day #2! Amen, and praise the Lord!
Life is so trash. I hate it.
Hope you're doing well!

@@Brandon-tz5pn glad your doing good brotha

Weed is more anesthetic then mind opening. Masking all the emotions with the high.
Weed gave me depression and anxiety when I never suffered from that.
I’ve been 4 months sober and I feel worse and I will never smoke again
How are you feeling now? I'm in the same situation 😢
Hello
@@hvz0078 I went back to smoking, i guess i blamed weed but it was all my mind. I feel happy again that I smoked I go out more and have friends
Weed has kept me from self harm and suicide in multiple times in my life, before i started smoking i had a lot of depression that was caused by losing loved ones in my family, even my dogs had been poisoned and lost them both on the same day ,i had planned to end my life on a lot of occasions, a friend came by one day and offered a puff of his joint, to be honest, it was the 1st time in 3 years i had actually felt good in a span of 4 years suffering from life ending depression, my friend actually never saw me smiling and was shocked to see me smiling.3 years later I'm still here and today I'm happily married with a baby boy and another on the way, im still smoking in private and it hasn't affected my everyday life at home and at work, so in my opinion, it saved my life so to suffer through withdrawal is like saying thank you for saving my life, i mostly think that it all depends on the way you use it, but i guess people are different in the manor of withdrawal,me myself, i am a very active person and busy al the time,the worst withdrawal simtome i get is a headache at most. its all about the mindset
Started smoking at 14 & I’m now quitting at 21. It’s been 10 days and I feel so depressed and unmotivated and dissociated:(
Only 1 min in to this video so far
I think you can't
I also started smoking at 14 and I'm trying to quit at 24....
Still sober?
Anyone struggling with addiction should watch his videos, they are very helpful.
Really, thank you for your support on the channel it means the 🌎
Weed is expensive and my income is down so thats my main reason for quitting. Also I want to trust god and have him help lead my life. I am suffering though my brain is not rewarding me during sobriety. I am living in my head. One day seems like one month for me.
He needs to stop nicotine.. that's the main addictor.. more so than weed by itself.. going to zero nic vapes helped with my transition a lot.. not to mention the zero nic vapes were dirt cheap but hard to find.
Yeah, I was really surprised Dr Frank didn't touch on that at all in the video. I was expecting it to be question 4.
You’re the fuckin best Man. Helpin me so much I’m on day 4 since recently finding out I’ll be a father in 7 months
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Please dont stop making these videos
I started smoking at 13, I’m almost 18 now and I’ve been smoking daily pretty much since I started. I’m on vacation so I haven’t been able to smoke (not that much at least, I’ve smoked like 5 times since I’ve been here bc my siblings brought stuff), and it’s made me rly think abt what’s gonna happen when I go back. I’ve had multiple dreams about going home and getting it out of my hiding spot and hitting it as the first thing I do. How fucking sad is that? It’s just that it’s the only thing that makes me feel, not even happy, but like a normal person. I mean it makes me feel happy too but smoking and being fried all the time just became my baseline. Not anxious and awkward but just normal and able to socialize without thinking about it super hard and getting super worked up and nervous. My brain has literally developed (in super fucking formative years too) on it so I feel like my scenario is different to the ones I see on TH-cam and the comments and stuff. Idk where I was even going with this comment, probably because my brain is so scrambled I can’t hold a continuous thought. Unless I’m high. Idk I just wish I could have never ever done it bc then I wouldn’t know how much better it makes me feel. Oh and I have not one clue what I wanna do with my life! Pretty much I just feel like I’m screwed and I’ve done it to myself and there’s nothing I can do to change it or make it right.
I quit in July I was a heavy smoker for 2 years after my ex girlfriend left me and I didn’t really care too much. Now 6 months later it’s like I’m going through all the grief now and I miss her more than ever. Hoping I come out of this
In 6 months sober and I'm still depressed 😢😢
@@hvz0078 for how long did you smoked?
This one hits deep, Doc!
Took me several months and a TON of effort to start beating the depression. But I'm still out here, getting stronger every day!
Wishing the best of luck to all of us on this crazy journey!
How many months ? I'm 5 months dealing with this depression 😢😢
@hvz0078 it was about about 4 months to start feeling normal again. Hang in there. It's worth it.
Exercise and healthy eating helped me big time.
@@BJB104 thank you and God bless you 🙏🙏 I hope this past soon because its hard
Omg this is never talked abt when I stoped cold Turky I did it and then I fell into a dark hole
I have found that if I’ve been taking a break from weed and I feel depressed then weed helps as a temporary cure. However if I start smoking regularly the weed can start to add to the depression. Ive found that exercise as simple as a 30 minute walk is very helpful. Moving the body really helps me both when I am or am not smoking weed.
I’m sad because I lift weights nearly everyday but have not found it helps the depression without weed
Iv been sad my whole life, I remember the day I tried weed at 18 I just felt so happy, it actually opened my spiritual side, made me a happier person and more grateful for nature and music and people. It made me grateful for everything and made me love everything and discover new hobbies. I’m 23 now and 3 days without weed, Iv had a few breaks and each break I had I am just sad again like I was the first 18 years of my life. I’m 10x lazier than I was when I was smoking weed, I’m more sad, more angry, and I have way less energy then ever. This isn’t fair. Weed literally made me a better person yet I have to quit because I just feel like it needs to happen yet I don’t have a actual reason. I don’t understand. Weed is the only thing that made me not depressed.
If weed “makes you a better person” and you “can’t be happy without it” then I think you need to go and speak to a therapist. Sounds like you’ve got some trauma you need to talk about with someone
Day 3 no weed for me , thank you so much family
Get Thur 72!!! That’s what’s up!
Weed keeps me at a 4/10 - no less, but no more, either.
Take the weed away, that becomes a 1/10. But that gives me a reason to do the deep, real work it takes to get to those upper numbers. To find the satisfaction that comes from being truly proud of myself, from spending my life helping others, from knowing that other people’s lives are actually better because I’m in them.
It is scary, having to deal with days of 1s and 2s without that super easy crutch to bring it back just below mid. But scarier to me is living the only life I’ll ever get being content with mediocrity instead of ever finding out what I’m truly capable of.
YO STOP SAYING DEPRESSED AND SAD! I’ve been sober for 4 weeks now after smoking for over 14 years straight and I feel the best I’ve ever felt and a very long time. I was more depressed when I was getting high because I knew I was being lazy and wasn’t living up to my full potential. This type of wording will make people not want to quit or relapse cmon dude wth
Day 1 and I’m already dying. Frustrated, can’t eat, can’t stop sweating, I feel like a burden to be around my family because of how I’m acting from withdrawals
please keep making videos there is nobody else on TH-cam that discusses these topics! keep up the great work you are helping out hundreds of people if not thousands
I quit 37 days ago. Most of the withdrawal symptoms are gone but depression comes and goes. I am beginning to worry that weed was helping my depression and now not using it that depression is rearing its face again. I don’t want to go back to smoking.
This is my biggest fear, plus I do 12 hour day/night shifts. I have no clue how I will overcome this 😢
Started smoking weed at 14 and I’m 34 now. I’m 3 days in and the only things I’m feeling is irritated and angry sometimes thru out the day. I found myself excessively cussing and yelling over small stuff for ex: someone cut me off in traffic and started driving slow, usually I’ll get a lil frustrated and let it go but since I stopped smoking I found myself so angry that I was cussing and honking the horn and giving the person the 🖕and I just kept cussing for like 2 min straight even after it was over. I haven’t gotten the shakes or felt sick only anger issues that I pray go away soon cause I can see this being a major problem as I don’t want to snap at work the way I did in traffic 😂
Not reccomending but what worked for me was microdosing magic mushrooms.. In small amounts I don't trip and it helps get rid of my anxiety and give me more motivaiton!
They might sleep more when they quit drugs. Because some drugs keep them active more then they need to be. They might even sleep more. If they have less of the drug then normal
Yes for sure! Especially if they were on stims!
I have a question for you, it's been 5 months since I've smoked and don't plan on going back ever again, but I experienced a runners high recently, are the withdrawals going to come back? Will this reset things? I have also experienced PAWS.
What’s is paws? And did the runners high cause withdrawals to come back?
I have been lonely that past few days. 6 weeks clean.
I was smoking heavy from 6am till I went to sleep for everyday from 13-37 happy I'm ready to finally quite these past 6 days have been rough
depression coming off weed get a grip its just a weak minded human end of story.. coming off weed is hard im on day 10 but to be all depressed is just a joke get with it.. id hate to think you had a real problem if coming off weed gets you that bad 😅
4 days sober first 4days since 2018 ...... i just wish i could use it like i use alcohol..
This happens to me each time. However, I was REALLY depressed on weed too. I LOVE your videos. They will be tools I will use to MAKE it this time. Weed didn't help me with depression. I was suicidal on weed, so I knew it wasn't helping me.
Many people have to quit weed if they’re in between jobs because they still do urine check drug testing hasn’t left the job yet so you have to go at least a month without weed
This channel is so underrated omg
This is very kind of you to say mrs. 🌹 thank you
Doing the deep work is so essential. Still discovering depression inducing beliefs at 69 days. Cleaning up the financial and relational mess I have left for myself. Cannabis represses that emotional processing for however long it is used so it takes time! But it is so worth it.
Note to self…👍🏻🔥
You hit the nail on the head in this comment!
@@freshterps5672 welcome to the AddictionMindset community
a big difference I noticed when I quit smoking and smoking weed, was that the world around me seemed a lot messier and rude. a lot of people pretending or just accepting things go as they go (way less caring or something. something that makes me feel that way about it? or is that just real life?
I feel you bro , but weed is something I believe you should smoke when you are either really young or you done what you need to do in life, I am am quitting weed for a long time till my life is sorted
You are doing a good, good thing Doctor. May The Lord increase you all the days of your life, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen.
This was very kind of you. Thank you
You are truly a blessing, bro. The care you have for people, is truly refreshing in this world that we live in. God bless you, man
I’m currrently going through huge depression + major DR/DP + severe panick attacks. Smoked for two years and everyday & im now A month and half clean. Had I known how draining this recovery process was I would’ve never picked up A joint.
Keep it up. Trust me you are doing great. I am going through the same experience. But I am starting to think that the withdrawals are a sign that the body is healing.
@@aijazsiddique8713 yes, I’m 9 months sober in A few days & im still getting waves but they aren’t as intense. Still not fully normal but getting there! Good luck with your recovery - it’s A long journey.
I’m starting a gym class!!! I will quit cannabis!! I stopped drinking 2 years ago. I can do this!
But I always want to put God first in Jesus I know he died on the cross for us and we're saved by his grace so that's going to be my main focus and he's going to guide me!
😂
Stop milkin this shit bro
Weed, alcohol, tobacco create negative circumstances
Yes eating healthy I don't believe in diets I believe in a healthy eating habit always try to do better every day and that's how we have to look at life try being a better man everyday sometimes every minute every second every hour you got to kill the old self and let God make you that new man!
I never was a depresive person i start smoking weed just for fun, now im 8 months clean and I'm still dealing with depression😢😢😢😢
Thank you for the video response man. Exercise has been a big part in my sobriety process and it definitely helps. But hasn’t been enough. My mental healthy has really been affecting all of my relationships, especially with my girlfriend. Today she gave me the idea for therapy, which you mentioned in this video. Definitely a good idea. And I was depressed while smoking so I doubt going back would fix it. Ty man
I love weed and want to smoke it forever, but I’m depressed now, being forced to quit, cause my asthma problems and finances too, really depressed, I don’t drink alcohol this was my only crutch, there is no god, lol
I invite you yo read the Holy Quran ❤
9 days clean after a 10 + years of daily use . I had a pillow slip last night and was so disappointed at myself . The happiness I felt when I woke up was unreal . Kept me on track for another day
I'm at 6 days right slept 3 hrs yesterday 2hrs today staying positive staying strong
A week into quitting and its been easy to do, honestly. 🤷♂️
I was binge watching your videos in the middle of the night 😅
I am Day 2. I've been crying so much. I feel like this can't be done. Been smoking since I was 19 years old. Now I am 36 years old an I am tired of what weed is doing to me. More depressed, intense anxiety. But now since I am sober, I am more sad n just confuse
I’m 19 have been smoking extremely heavy since I was about 13 and I quit nicotine salts altogether about 6+ months ago and I have gotta say I’m almost having a harder time with weed closing day 3 trying to stay strong 💪
How are you holding up Bro
I love that you're talking about this topic! It's so needed
It was the main cause of my depression, a feel so much more alive just one month and a few days after quitting.
How are you feeling now?
Always great content Dr Frank
🙏💪thank you
Depression, mood swings, nightmares, low energy and confusion. Been sober 23 days and I heard it can take months to level out.
Thank you for this video. Ugh. The feels are intense and I feel so sad. This is the third time I quit/took a break. This video is helping me through a tough day.
MY FUCKIN BRAIN IS TO FOGGY I CAN'T EVEN CONCETRATE ON THIS VIDEO I HAVE TO PLAY IT LIKE 30 TIMES
Thank you so much for making these videos, they have been really comforting during the quitting process. You’re doing a great thing!
