wish there was more people out there like you.. 26 days sober today from weed and cigarettes. whoever’s reading this know i’m proud of you we’re getting through this together stay strong
I just finished day 1 after 19 years of smoking. I’ve been watching these video over and over getting ready, and damn you are right!! DocFrank has helped me SOOOOO MUCH. It’s quiet amazing how much he can help if we are READY for that help.
Congratulations 🎊 🥳 my goal is 365 of being sober ( which obviously I want to be indefinite) but I stopped the day after my 39th b-day and I want to celebrate big on my 40th being 1 YEAR SOBER! You just gave me MORE hope!
Remember guys don’t count the days. You’re either sober or not sober. I would recommend rewatching the first video. Counting days does us little to no good
Thank you so much for the masterclass. I’m one week off weed after a couple decades of use. I appreciate not only the knowledge you share but your tone and passion to help others. I feel as if I have a north star to head towards as i begin my recovery journey. Again, thank you!!
58 days without marijuana!!! I am finally feeling soooo much better. I walk more motivated, disciplined, better memory, learn faster, sleep much better and wake up earlier before the alarm. I have also been taking N-Acetyl Cysteine (1200 mg daily), and I feel that it has helped a lot to get rid of the urge to smoke AND DRINK ALCOHOL. Don't give up, it's hard at first, but then what comes next is worth it.
In my case, the first 20 days I took sublingual CBD drops (20 mg every night) then it was not necessary. Physical exercise with weights and jogging was the best thing to increase my adrenaline and dopamine. At the beginning maximum 100 mg of caffeine, now I can take 200 mg. Keeping busy studying programming was essential to have a clear goal. Sunbathing, meditating and having a social life with loyal and supportive friends was very important. Reading in the evenings to relax and avoid screens. Social media only made it worse, the best thing would be to use it in VERY MODERATION.
Congrats! I’m addicted to social media too. I deactivated my personal but kept my business page for obvious reasons but still scroll and post nonsense smh. I can’t wait to be clean and sober from everything. Where did you get that supplement from? Do you think you can stay sober without it?
@@AmandaCC88 I suppose any CBD (Cannabidiol) could work. And of course I could have gotten clean without the supplement, it just helps a little. The most important thing is to know that the discomfort will be momentary, then the withdrawal wears off and you start to feel much better 🙌.
Dr Frank, your channel has been a silent weapon in my war on quitting weed. I am on the same boat as many, smoked for many many years. 27 years old, to be 28 in 1 month, I am pushing to be off it weed by the end of the month or even but my birthday. Having a clear mindset is so important in the world we are in now, especially if I try to be the best father I can be for my daughter. I've been just consuming these videos while I work and have ear buds in, or driving. I've been watching and rewatching your shorts, they're super confident and informative. Thanks Dr for your help on this mission.
Day 1 today after watching all 3 videos, it felt like you knew everything about me and my anxieties around quitting. Thanks so much for your time i feel blessed to have randomly come across your content
I used to celebrate by smoking weed. Now i celebrate by going mountain biking and then afterwards I go to Wendy's and get a big burger 🍔. This may not be for everyone but it works for me and i thought i would share with this community. Good luck folks, Godspeed 🙏✝️
BRILLIANT DUSTY it might be something I might try. But instead of biking ima take the dogs to the local river. Actually upon quitting today I set myself a goal. If I'm still not smoking by tomorrow (day off all I used to do was smoke weed) if I last even an hour I'm going to drive to the river with my dogs and go for a swim. I haven't done that in years all I would do is smoke pot.❤.
I’ve struggled with marijuana more than anything else in my entire life. I broke three vertebrae in a skiing accident, spinal fusion with paralysis that I eventually made a full recovery from. Spent years addicted to opiates, but one day just quit. No problem. Weed however I’ve quit and relapsed countless times, lost decades of my life to it. I am about to turn 39 in a month and told myself I would give me the gift to have 30 days sober. I’ve been panicking because I failed so many times, but listening to these videos makes me realize I’m not alone with my problems, not uniquely weak with my faults. Thank you for making this material available
I appreciate you sharing! I am in a similar state I just turned 39 Monday and I made a commitment to myself to be sober and free from being a Marijuana addict by my 40th birthday! Like you said I've been through so much worst but kicking this has been a struggle (I've attempted to stop several times) I am eager to show my children lifestyle change is possible! Stay strong we got this!
@@tamarafeliciano39 read Rational Recovery. It’s an amazing book and concept. It does away with standard AA style treatment, something I’ve ALWAYS found to be odd, cult like and simply “not for me”, and instead makes it INCREDIBLY simple and empowering. I’ll do a bad job paraphrasing but; We drink/drug because we chose to, that’s it. We give into the “ADDICTIVE VOICE” because we can’t separate it from ourselves. When we relapse, it’s because our addictive voice takes over, we take a back seat, while under the illusion that the addictive voice is our own weakness. RR helps the reader to understand what the AV is (a beast/not us), and teaches tool to understand the difference. I’ve been sober 4 days now, and whenever I feel the urge, I mentally separate the urge(Addictive Voice) from myself and my desires. It becomes something to listen to (and ignore) rather than who we are… like an annoying coworker for example lol Also, I’m guessing your name is Tamara? I’m going to be blunt. You have kids now, the time to be selfish died the moment you became a parent. You had your time, now your time is theirs, as is your example of living. Make yourself proud, make them proud, and refocus your priorities. How would you feel if your children lost years, or decades of their life to substance-abuse because of the example you set? It’s a simple choice, stop using drugs, now.
I'm free of weed 8 months. 6 years away from alcohol. My brain is definitely damaged. I likely will never be 100 % of the original version of me. I had unchecked trauma before partaking at 16 years old. I was bullied and abandoned by family and friends. I got high to mask the pain. I'm sober at 42 years old and am officially dealing with my past. I am now trying to avoid fast food and p orn. This is not easy. I'm alone, and I know why. I am doing what is needed. I'm in school now and believe I will find a spouse soon. No more p orn and fast food. Sleep, water, and working out.
So grateful for your videos. On day 6 have been watching your content from 1st day. I am 41 and have been a habitual smoker 27 years. As a husband, father and business owner, I can relate to everything you say. So much energy and time invested in pot with nothing to gain….Thank you. Be strong people.
After using weed for 20+ years I quit 10 years ago.When I started I got a relaxed feeling from it and always slept well.This changed at the end into tensed feelings and laying awake.When I realized it was the weed causing this I wanted to quit.I quit without any effort.I remember the first two weeks I had light trouble to relax.I'll never going to smoke weed again,I just don't like it anymore.
Building my castle 🎉currently 2 days off weed after relapsing for six months after almost a year of sobriety. This is my new chance to do things right instead of subbing for alcohol like last time. I’m excited to pull up my bootstraps once again. 😊
I am on day 5 of weed and nicotine withdrawal (I smoked tons of tobacco and weed for 16 years) . Since I changed weed+nicotine for the hobby of weightlifting, the quitting is not so bad at all until now I have to say. I have full appetite because of the training and no headache or bad mood, which I find crazy. Day two was a little rough, but there are so much worse feelings than that in life. Everytime a craving comes, I just remember myself of the unhealthy wet cough, the sudden occurrence of anxiety ( which I neaver had when I started smoking weed btw) and that I want to be healthy and gain muscles. I also remember myself that it never gave me the high I wanted in the end. So I know it´s just is no fun, but my new hobby is! 🙂 So try to find something new, something better than smoking weed and/or tobacco!
Thank you so much for this series. I’ve tried to quit 10000 times. I quit hard drugs once and for all years ago but let weed slip until the past couple years I’ve realized it’s truly gotta go, same with alcohol, social media scrolling, porn etc all the stuff I use to escape. Well, it’s day 1… again. I’m not ever going to give up until I get it right. Pray for me 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Dr. Frank. Your addiction treatment videos have had a profound impact on my life, and I wanted to let you know just how much I appreciate your efforts. Please continue the fantastic work you do. You are changing lives and giving hope to so many people like me.
Officially Day one after 15 years and I'm building my castle with my MLO carrer, new cultural experiences including languages, a healthy relationship with someone I can meet and helping my family with everything I can ❤ God bless you Dr. FRANK 🙏🏽
Thank you for this content... my brain has been in such a foggy cloud that it could never come to these conclusions on its own.... this mindset has helped me so much
Hey! I just want to tell thank you for your videos. Breaking down the withdraw symptoms per days and explaining in detail what my brain, body and mind will experience when I will commit to quit, really helped me to prepare myself mentally, even though I have been watching your videos for more than over a year till I actually committed but here is me on 5th day sober, even though I relapsed last week on day four, I am not stoping to try. I have been smoking weed for 21 years, I have used it to become numb and avoid feeling emotions I just need to go through. I found a professional addiction specialist and also going to therapy now. I watch your videos to keep myself educated and inspired to finally quit my old sister Marry Jane. I finally want to get to know myself sober. It's so weird not to know who I actually am sober - I am 34 now and I am ready, finally. Thank you for your work. It really helps people around the globe. Greetings from Latvia!
BUILDING MY CASTLE LETS FUCKIN GO I'll be focusing on my businesses. It feels like I've been hitting the gas and holding down the brakes at the same time, and even then I've had some pretty decent success. Ready to shed the dead wood and grow into a new person, capable of delivering even more value than I already am.
BUILDING MY CASTLE! DR FRANK, I am so so thankful to have found you. You are a breath of fresh air! I’m once again beginning my journey to recovery and have watched and rewatched all this series and most of your other weed related videos. I have also downloaded many of your pdfs. I feel I have better plan and idea on what to expect. Thank you again, you are truly appreciated ❤
Thank you so much for these. I haven’t commented as much as I’ve watched. Lol you’re more than just a “my story” channel. You’re truly helping for free. I can imagine how helpful your actual course is. I wish I was able to enroll at the moment. But thanks for your good work. I knew I had a problem when I couldn’t quit not matter how much I tried. Recently quit liquor then my car got damaged and my dog passed. I’m starting over but I don’t want to start over anymore. My friends weren’t worried until I said I’m quitting. Why is it so stigmatized? This is why people can’t get the help we need. Why has the govt legalized it, yet haven’t invested in research?! They don’t see the profit in it Smh
This video series kept me sober today. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating this kind of content. It’s needed and necessary for people like me who feel hopeless in quitting.
Thank you very much for making all your videos. I watched all 3 videos. It’s incredible! All this years I thought I can’t because voices in my head convinced me for so long. In the second video you talking a lot about how your own mind looking for excuses. Some of the stuff you said it really hit home. I thought it’s ONLY ME. All this excuses… just one more. The thoughts I had so twisted and wicked it’s crazy. Im very lucky and grateful that I come across your videos. Today is the day 3. Thank you very much
Beginning of day 3 for me! This withdrawal period was much more mild than the first time around. I’m so grateful for this channel keeping me clean and sane. Thank you thank you thank you Dr Frank. You are changing lives
Realized that engaging with like minded people will be my biggest asset in this journey to stop smoking! I am ending day 3. And this time just feels different I want this so bad! To be free from cannabis! Good luck to you all!
@@andysage8299 I am on day 6. I knew the weekend would be challenging. Had to leave a party early last night as the cravings got bad. Addicted mind saying things like "you've managed 5 days, you're not addicted. One toke won't hurt etc". Felt proud of myself when I woke up with a fresh head today. Good luck to all. Just say NO!
Building my castle Dr. Frank! After countless crippling failed attempts I finally learned to dissociate from that voice, that prison guard telling me to come back into my prison cell. I'm going to get back into martial arts, I have a dream to move to the US from Canada and work in the tech industry, and eventually want to start brainstorming my business ideas as a side hustle.
4-5 years smoking nonstop and yesterday I stopped, my symptoms have been no appetite, pressure on my chest, stomach pain, sweats, panicked. I get worried as the symptoms go, but I’m hanging in strong 💪 any tips on eating ? Im aware that you have to eat but I have No appetite at all.
Did you fold yet? If not then i'd say just drink water when you feel you want to eat but have no desire to eat a full meal. You need water a lot more than food, and hypothetically if you just drank water for 2 weeks until the hunger symptoms subsided you'd be alive and well anyways, so just wait till youre hungry for real. It'll happen.
@@BWRProductions1 I have not i am 4 days in, I ate a burger from jack in the box which is a milestone because e last couple days I had no appetite, ive just been having trouble sleeping and I get really anxious now
@@BWRProductions1 brother I would eat grapes and smoothies, and to anyone reading this going through the comments because you want to quit, it is possible!
Same here about 5 years, I get the sweats really bad when trying to sleep. I usually force eat and after that it tends to get easier for the rest of the day. I’m trying a method of quitting slower like every other day to every three days, once a week etc. The withdrawals are easier and I feel I’ll eventually be able to quit! Also good luck to you!
Building my castle❤ Im so grateful ive found you. I have many many many kind words for you however, im terrible with finding the right words. Just know im so utterly grateful i found you and this channel. This is day two of quiting. Im very fresh in my build but i assure you i am determined this time. Ive gotten rid of everything yesterday, i threw it all away.
Building my castle, one step at a time. I'm working on reconnecting with my inner child through music, reading and practicing kindness as I learn new things for my future career. I'm happy to say that your content helped me reach day 8, and I feel like I've gained the right mindset to be able to carry it forward as each day comes by :)
Building my castle 🎉 smoked weed and nicotine products for 10 years. One week of sobriety and I can’t thank you enough for these masterpiece master classes watched all 3 and I know I can make it a lifetime! one step at a time I’m climbing my mountain day by day
Building my castle. I have not quite weed yet, But i have quit m3th. I replace weed with that 'when you say weed I say m3th" just to clarify lol. I'm also gaining knowledge when i go to quit the weed, ans nicotine, and kratom... Your videos are helping me so much. Cancle out the lies from the enemy, "The addicted voice" Goals and more Goals. Im not a moderate person, i don't want to live a moderate life! Thanks Doctor Frank, you're a awesome guy, and i appreciate you and your work!
I was sober 2 months last summer. Now back in the middle of it. I'm getting beaten up but I'm not giving up. Boredom and loneliness are the hardest. Stay strong everyone.
I really respect the way you phrase it as “adult media content” and not porn. I used a TH-cam coach 2 years ago to quit alcohol and now I’m gonna use you to quit weed. Thank you.
What do I do when I already did so much while I smoked weed? I already had a schedule, multiple hobbies, a good job, a good relationship, 3.5K minutes of meditation achieved, I meal prep, I read, I study coding and even build mobile applications, all of it while high. I am currenlty in day 3 and now I have 0 desire to do anything, I just want to watch TV to not think about how bad I feel without marijuana. I was able to code for hours while high and now I cant concentrate for more than 30 minutes. My girlfriend tells me that she sees how marijuana gives me a lot of drive and helps my mood. There is still a part of me that believes that I am somehow not able to fullfil my full potential because of weed but I am now on day 3 and it feels like I won't be able to function without weed. It such a confusing mental state. When I get high I feel more drive for some reason.
I am the same weed can give me motivation, however it can be tiring relying on it for your motivation instead of just having it intrinsically. The answer is that three days in you are in a dopamine deficit and enjoying things without weed won't come without a few more days or a week without smoking weed. However once you do feel pleasure without it, it feels refreshing and you can see if you feel motivated to do your work.
@@Theomardell-v1tFacts after about two weeks you begin to feel happy and pleasure again and then you realize it's without weed and you didn't have to spend money to feel it and it is the best feeling.
I hope I can have your energy, focus, and action ability in the coming year as I sober up. I also struggle with some chronic gut illnesses that I’ve been healing for years . This will be quite the journey.
Hello I wanted to thank you for the 3 master class videos. I truly deeply appreciate you, the videos and all you shared!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time and for sharing these for free. You are amazing. Thank you so much. ❤
Day 1 no weed or nic, I threw up 2 pieces of bacon I had for breakfast, I haven’t been eating much but I know I have to eat. I’m kinda hopeless things will every get better, I dug myself into this hole, and I know it’s gonna be hard to get myself out, this is the hardest I’ve ever had to work in my life. I need to do this for my health but am terrified of relapsing because it means I restart the hardest part of addiction.
I quit smoking my first 3 hours can't sleep but I'm gunner keep on going been smoking for 16 years and now I made the decision to quit to save money and better my life
Hey. Thank you again. Haven’t slept at all for the past 2 days. I was smoking pens everyday and no I’m 2 days sober. Shit was not easy but after staying up fighting for the past 2 days IM FREE
55 day without weed and now I m suffering from stomach illness like lose motions from day 28, now I'm very confused it's withdrawal symptoms or something else
I haven't smoked weed since April 20th of this year I use to think I needed it for pain and my anxiety and depression i didn't realize that the weed actually made it worse good luck to anyone on their journey ❤
What really made me give up weed was trying to stay out of jail. You can either stay clean and not end up in jail on probation or you can smoke and be forced to get clean while in Jail.
Not just building my Castle, but constructing the seat of my Empire; which will reside in the fortress I am building, and there will be a castle keep within that fortress.
Thanks so much for your effort ! Huge help , i am on my 4th day clean , i am 58 & been smoking with NO break , never tried or wanted to quit & i have been smoking since 1980 ! 44 yrs , wow I dont even know if my brain will go back to normal , whatever that is : ha Its the hardest thing i have ever attempted , feel like i lost a lover - total romance affair with the drug , UH I am gonna do this cant imagine how great i am gonna feel in a month or two ! will update : would love some inspiration from others : ITS REALLY HARD ! lets do this ! DONE WITH THE WEED
Hey Dr Mike! I love you and your channel and content and how you help so many people! Is there any chance you could possibly do a video on how to stop smoking ‘chop’ (weed/any tobacco chopped up together and smoked)??
Hi Benji, I would say it is the same process as in all of the videos. 50/50's are my choice also, and I cannot do one without the other, so they both have to go at the same time. Good luck Man!
Building my castle.. Thank you so much I've never considered to completely stop nicotine and weed, I've got so much determination now just not much will power, currently just starting day 1 and I was so prepared until this morning! I have to stay strong, I home educate my youngest and today is first day back after the summer hols for us so this is a challenge but lots to focus on :)

I have full appetite because of the training and no headache or bad mood, which I find crazy. Day two was a little rough, but there are so much worse feelings than that in life. Everytime a craving comes, I just remember myself of the unhealthy wet cough, the sudden occurrence of anxiety ( which I neaver had when I started smoking weed btw) and that I want to be healthy and gain muscles. I also remember myself that it never gave me the high I wanted in the end. So I know it´s just is no fun, but my new hobby is! 🙂
So try to find something new, something better than smoking weed and/or tobacco!
+ I also eat very healthy, take vitamins and try very hard to only think positive
Congrats! 💚
Thank you so much for this series. I’ve tried to quit 10000 times. I quit hard drugs once and for all years ago but let weed slip until the past couple years I’ve realized it’s truly gotta go, same with alcohol, social media scrolling, porn etc all the stuff I use to escape. Well, it’s day 1… again. I’m not ever going to give up until I get it right. Pray for me 🙏🏻
Thanks! Anhedonic for more than a decade. Great information.
Thank you so much Dr. Frank. Your addiction treatment videos have had a profound impact on my life, and I wanted to let you know just how much I appreciate your efforts. Please continue the fantastic work you do. You are changing lives and giving hope to so many people like me.
Building my castle. And finishing the video. Then repeating the series. Amazing videos. Thank you!
I feel like repeating the series on occasion as we progress is a good idea. You got this!
Day 1 here and watched part 1, 2 and now here! Feeling very motivated and inspired! Thank you!
Officially Day one after 15 years and I'm building my castle with my MLO carrer, new cultural experiences including languages, a healthy relationship with someone I can meet and helping my family with everything I can ❤ God bless you Dr. FRANK 🙏🏽
Thank you for this content... my brain has been in such a foggy cloud that it could never come to these conclusions on its own.... this mindset has helped me so much
Hey! I just want to tell thank you for your videos. Breaking down the withdraw symptoms per days and explaining in detail what my brain, body and mind will experience when I will commit to quit, really helped me to prepare myself mentally, even though I have been watching your videos for more than over a year till I actually committed but here is me on 5th day sober, even though I relapsed last week on day four, I am not stoping to try. I have been smoking weed for 21 years, I have used it to become numb and avoid feeling emotions I just need to go through. I found a professional addiction specialist and also going to therapy now. I watch your videos to keep myself educated and inspired to finally quit my old sister Marry Jane. I finally want to get to know myself sober. It's so weird not to know who I actually am sober - I am 34 now and I am ready, finally. Thank you for your work. It really helps people around the globe. Greetings from Latvia!
BUILDING MY CASTLE LETS FUCKIN GO
I'll be focusing on my businesses. It feels like I've been hitting the gas and holding down the brakes at the same time, and even then I've had some pretty decent success. Ready to shed the dead wood and grow into a new person, capable of delivering even more value than I already am.
🤝
Day two for me , thank you for your content
BUILDING MY CASTLE!
DR FRANK, I am so so thankful to have found you. You are a breath of fresh air! I’m once again beginning my journey to recovery and have watched and rewatched all this series and most of your other weed related videos. I have also downloaded many of your pdfs. I feel I have better plan and idea on what to expect. Thank you again, you are truly appreciated ❤
Thanks!
Very kind of you, thank you
Thank you Dr Frank. Your videos have been phenomenal and helped me work through the withdrawals. Greatly appreciate your knowledge and passion.
Thank you so much for these. I haven’t commented as much as I’ve watched. Lol you’re more than just a “my story” channel. You’re truly helping for free. I can imagine how helpful your actual course is. I wish I was able to enroll at the moment. But thanks for your good work. I knew I had a problem when I couldn’t quit not matter how much I tried. Recently quit liquor then my car got damaged and my dog passed. I’m starting over but I don’t want to start over anymore. My friends weren’t worried until I said I’m quitting. Why is it so stigmatized? This is why people can’t get the help we need. Why has the govt legalized it, yet haven’t invested in research?! They don’t see the profit in it Smh
I meant 1:1 coaching*. This is your actual course lol
This video series kept me sober today. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating this kind of content. It’s needed and necessary for people like me who feel hopeless in quitting.
I can't even tell you how grateful I am for your Videos!!!Thank you so much for your Generosity 😊
Thank you very much for making all your videos. I watched all 3 videos. It’s incredible! All this years I thought I can’t because voices in my head convinced me for so long. In the second video you talking a lot about how your own mind looking for excuses. Some of the stuff you said it really hit home. I thought it’s ONLY ME. All this excuses… just one more. The thoughts I had so twisted and wicked it’s crazy. Im very lucky and grateful that I come across your videos.
Today is the day 3.
Thank you very much
LOOK AT YOU CHESHIRE CAT YOU EFFING BEAST
Keep going you're an inspiration.
Day one here.
LOVE Watching these. Sometimes you need a hit of reassurance to get through it. Thanks Franko.
building my castle! Thanks for the content,was just getting to the 2 week hump and this is a great reminder of why I'm doing this.
Beginning of day 3 for me! This withdrawal period was much more mild than the first time around. I’m so grateful for this channel keeping me clean and sane. Thank you thank you thank you Dr Frank. You are changing lives
How's it going? Starting day 5 tomorrow myself 😊
How has it been for you I am just starting day 3 now
Realized that engaging with like minded people will be my biggest asset in this journey to stop smoking! I am ending day 3. And this time just feels different I want this so bad! To be free from cannabis! Good luck to you all!
@@andysage8299 I am on day 6. I knew the weekend would be challenging. Had to leave a party early last night as the cravings got bad. Addicted mind saying things like "you've managed 5 days, you're not addicted. One toke won't hurt etc". Felt proud of myself when I woke up with a fresh head today. Good luck to all. Just say NO!
Fantastic series, saw all three videos and learned so much. Thank you and god bless.
Building my castle Dr. Frank! After countless crippling failed attempts I finally learned to dissociate from that voice, that prison guard telling me to come back into my prison cell.
I'm going to get back into martial arts, I have a dream to move to the US from Canada and work in the tech industry, and eventually want to start brainstorming my business ideas as a side hustle.
I’m on Day 1 from quitting Blunts . Thank you so much for giving this away for free this is exactly what I need .
4-5 years smoking nonstop and yesterday I stopped, my symptoms have been no appetite, pressure on my chest, stomach pain, sweats, panicked. I get worried as the symptoms go, but I’m hanging in strong 💪 any tips on eating ? Im aware that you have to eat but I have No appetite at all.
And it seems I haven’t been enjoying tight spaces while off weed, for example taking a bath or being in a car any tips ?
Did you fold yet? If not then i'd say just drink water when you feel you want to eat but have no desire to eat a full meal. You need water a lot more than food, and hypothetically if you just drank water for 2 weeks until the hunger symptoms subsided you'd be alive and well anyways, so just wait till youre hungry for real. It'll happen.
@@BWRProductions1 I have not i am 4 days in, I ate a burger from jack in the box which is a milestone because e last couple days I had no appetite, ive just been having trouble sleeping and I get really anxious now
@@BWRProductions1 brother I would eat grapes and smoothies, and to anyone reading this going through the comments because you want to quit, it is possible!
Same here about 5 years, I get the sweats really bad when trying to sleep. I usually force eat and after that it tends to get easier for the rest of the day. I’m trying a method of quitting slower like every other day to every three days, once a week etc. The withdrawals are easier and I feel I’ll eventually be able to quit! Also good luck to you!
Building my castle❤ Im so grateful ive found you. I have many many many kind words for you however, im terrible with finding the right words. Just know im so utterly grateful i found you and this channel. This is day two of quiting. Im very fresh in my build but i assure you i am determined this time. Ive gotten rid of everything yesterday, i threw it all away.
Building my castle, one step at a time. I'm working on reconnecting with my inner child through music, reading and practicing kindness as I learn new things for my future career.
I'm happy to say that your content helped me reach day 8, and I feel like I've gained the right mindset to be able to carry it forward as each day comes by :)
It's been 3 months I quit after 4 years of smoking I still getting cravings sometimes when life sucks but I'm still going on with the detox
Im on day 3 again 💀
Practice makes perfect. Next time, four days!
Made it past 1&2 and im here…. Pray for a brother… 🙏🏾

Cancle out the lies from the enemy,
"The addicted voice"
Goals and more Goals.
Im not a moderate person, i don't want to live a moderate life!
Thanks Doctor Frank, you're a awesome guy, and i appreciate you and your work!
Congratulations. If you can quit the devil snot, quitting weed should be easy (easier?). You are doing yourself massive favors, and i wish you luck.
I was sober 2 months last summer. Now back in the middle of it. I'm getting beaten up but I'm not giving up. Boredom and loneliness are the hardest. Stay strong everyone.
You are very generous to share all your knowledge for free. Thank you
Buikding my castle! 3 days down, a lifetime to go! 27:07
😎🙌
I really respect the way you phrase it as “adult media content” and not porn. I used a TH-cam coach 2 years ago to quit alcohol and now I’m gonna use you to quit weed. Thank you.
Thankyou for all the help 20 years smoking only 7 days clean but so positive you've helped a to ton thsnkyou so much
Building my castle!! Thank you for these videos. I’ve watched all three parts several times.
thank you dr frank!!!! youre so incredibly motivating and empowering
I Quit Weed Drinking And Smoking Cigs And Started To Eat Raw Garlic Clovers Everyday And It Help Me Be Straight For Two Weeks Now
It’s Helps With The Lungs 🫁
I think you should narrate books. Your voice is so relaxing.
One of my pillars is supreme health. The other is my current business and the new one I am building.
Thank you sir for taking the time to make these videos for us.
What do I do when I already did so much while I smoked weed? I already had a schedule, multiple hobbies, a good job, a good relationship, 3.5K minutes of meditation achieved, I meal prep, I read, I study coding and even build mobile applications, all of it while high. I am currenlty in day 3 and now I have 0 desire to do anything, I just want to watch TV to not think about how bad I feel without marijuana. I was able to code for hours while high and now I cant concentrate for more than 30 minutes. My girlfriend tells me that she sees how marijuana gives me a lot of drive and helps my mood. There is still a part of me that believes that I am somehow not able to fullfil my full potential because of weed but I am now on day 3 and it feels like I won't be able to function without weed. It such a confusing mental state. When I get high I feel more drive for some reason.
I am the same weed can give me motivation, however it can be tiring relying on it for your motivation instead of just having it intrinsically. The answer is that three days in you are in a dopamine deficit and enjoying things without weed won't come without a few more days or a week without smoking weed. However once you do feel pleasure without it, it feels refreshing and you can see if you feel motivated to do your work.
@@Theomardell-v1tFacts after about two weeks you begin to feel happy and pleasure again and then you realize it's without weed and you didn't have to spend money to feel it and it is the best feeling.
I hope I can have your energy, focus, and action ability in the coming year as I sober up.
I also struggle with some chronic gut illnesses that I’ve been healing for years .
This will be quite the journey.
Hello I wanted to thank you for the 3 master class videos. I truly deeply appreciate you, the videos and all you shared!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time and for sharing these for free. You are amazing. Thank you so much. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing all of this
Anytime! Thanks for being here for the ride. I enjoyed making these, should have done it sooner.
Enjoying the series, keep going.
32 days out, have cravings but I feel normal now and can actually remember and think properly. Doing weed was like being in a haze.
Day 1 no weed or nic, I threw up 2 pieces of bacon I had for breakfast, I haven’t been eating much but I know I have to eat. I’m kinda hopeless things will every get better, I dug myself into this hole, and I know it’s gonna be hard to get myself out, this is the hardest I’ve ever had to work in my life. I need to do this for my health but am terrified of relapsing because it means I restart the hardest part of addiction.
How did it go?
Building my castle. Thank you for what you do.
Building my castle. Day 3. Love your channel.
Building my castle , thank you so much for these videos!!!

55 day without weed and now I m suffering from stomach illness like lose motions from day 28, now I'm very confused it's withdrawal symptoms or something else
I haven't smoked weed since April 20th of this year I use to think I needed it for pain and my anxiety and depression i didn't realize that the weed actually made it worse good luck to anyone on their journey ❤
Don't sabotage all of the hard work and all of the effort that you're putting into this journey.
What really made me give up weed was trying to stay out of jail. You can either stay clean and not end up in jail on probation or you can smoke and be forced to get clean while in Jail.
Thank you so much your Videos help me to stay clean and have a clear view of this selfdestructive addiction
Not just building my Castle, but constructing the seat of my Empire; which will reside in the fortress I am building, and there will be a castle keep within that fortress.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

DONE WITH THE WEED
Hey Dr Mike! I love you and your channel and content and how you help so many people! Is there any chance you could possibly do a video on how to stop smoking ‘chop’ (weed/any tobacco chopped up together and smoked)??
It’s dr frank
Hi Benji, I would say it is the same process as in all of the videos. 50/50's are my choice also, and I cannot do one without the other, so they both have to go at the same time. Good luck Man!
Also called a spliff in Caribbean cultures 🖤💛💚
Building my castle.. Thank you so much I've never considered to completely stop nicotine and weed, I've got so much determination now just not much will power, currently just starting day 1 and I was so prepared until this morning! I have to stay strong, I home educate my youngest and today is first day back after the summer hols for us so this is a challenge but lots to focus on :)
Building my castle ❤
