28 days sober!!! 35 year addiction. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH Dr. Frank. It’s hard to explain but You have helped me meet me & I’m finally falling in love with myself :)
@@CookWithStephh best wishes to you!!! You really CAN do it!! I never thought after smoking daily for 35 years, I’d ever be able to be weed free, yet here I am on day 91!!! & despite loneliness, loosing my grandad, relocating to San Diego where I know no one, a divorce from a diagnosed narcissist, no sex for damn near two years, complete isolation & turning the big 50 in January, I have never felt better! Lol felt like my life is in the season of a sad country song :) But My mind is clear, my appetite is normal, I’m less depressed, my breath smells better, have more energy & I’m not spending a fortune. Your first month will be difficult, you may have crazy dreams, insomnia, lack of appetite & cry more than usual, but it passes and will be well worth it. Be gentle with yourself, drink lots of water, eat light, go for walks, ride the waves of emotions & practice encouraging yourself with positive words. I also used GABA with L-theanine, 5000 iu of D3, and NAC 900 mg 2x per day as advised by a holistic Dr. to help with withdrawal & depression. detoxing from heavy news, watching stand up & listening to Jason Stephenson 8 hour meditations at night/during sleep to help my mind rest helped a lot too. Writing a pro/con list & writing reasons to stop on my mirror also helped. Researching the effects of weed on the body & Dr. Frank & Dr. Gabor Mate videos helped tremendously. The damage is rarely spoken of- especially in California & as a hip hop head where it’s “just part of the culture”. I know how hard it is to quit so Im VERY PROUD OF YOU for taking the leap towards the best version of yourself. Extend yourself grace if you relapse and then begin again. It’s the most loving thing I’ve ever done for myself. May you extend yourself the same love, you’re more than worthy & your future self will thank you. Sending you extra strength endurance & a hug. Congratulations You got this!!! 🙏🏽🤎😊
Yal are warriors! The insomnia, hot & cold sweats, low dopamine, loss of appetite, tears etc. is no joke! Don’t give in, keep going! Hang in there life really does get better! 15 year addict now 1503 days clean.
@@emmanuelmn1978 1608 days clean baby! I’ve been working hard, working out, got a raise, been helping people out, I’ve traveled to places I thought I would have never go. I just got to stay humble because I know I can loose everything with one slip up… anyways, life’s been good brother thanks for checking up on me and letting me rant.
Bro 13 days sober and your videos have helped my insomnia just listen to this positivity and you’ll get through this, my withdrawals are bad af…. But my bank account is happy lol we got this everyone
Day 13 for me as well and I gotta say this guy has helped me tremendously, after smoking for 9yrs daily I feel a lot better overall and am ready for a serious life change
@@Forsythbaby556 I’m almost a month now man and I gotta say I still crave it but I’m tryna make it out the trailer park bro that’s my real motivation just enlisted in the marines too it opens a lot of doors that normally would be closed to you fr
I have been smoking at least 20 times a day for 5 years, its been 6 days since i smoked up, the insomnia is harsh but im too committed to cave now. Im creating the life i want. Stay strong brothers
@@RickytheMenace don't be a piece of trash . What the fuck is wrong with you? What's right with you is probably a shorter list . So don't bother . Keep strong folks, it really, really is a challenge
@@marketazoubkova6730when you are able to just throw it away that is a great thing to do because if you are not able to do that and if u want to really quit and in order for you to get rid of it you tell yourself I can't waste money I'll smoke it when it's finished then I'll quit you will never quit I was there when I was able to realize it didn't do me any good it hinders me in alot of ways
@@alladreamwedreamed I haven’t smoked since I haven’t had many withdrawl symptoms just a little paranoid that’s it and I take sleeping aiids to help me sleep
Im about 16 hours in , longest I’ve gone in years . Already started biting my fingers till bloody . It’s gonna suck but I need to do this for myself and the ppl I love . I can do this ❤
Crying my eyes out from anxiety while watching this video. It’s been 2 days after today and I’m literally going crazy but it will be okay we are so strong for even taking this action, just trying to remember that. Wishing everyone luck and strength.
@@zoesummons2656how did your journey go? Have you been 9 months clean? Have you relapsed? I wanna know because I’m planning on quitting weed today so any tips or tricks help, especially with sleep
I had a stomach bug that caused me to not smoke for a week. Then when I tried to smoke lil here and there I felt HORRIBLE!....I didn't understand why my stomach bug wasn't going away! It's because I was withdrawling off 15 years of everyday pot smoking! I was so dumbfounded and didn't even know this could happen! It made me quit altogether and your videos helped me with that. Thank you for all you do
@@carlbland68 Today is day 90 of no weed. I feel great. I started working out and feel so much better. Glory to God for helping me. I am also saving money. Before a lot of my money (about $250-$300 per week) went to herb, rillos & hash wax. Now, I'm saving to buy a house. Another positive, is that my breathing has gotten better; I'm not coughing up brown mucus everyday & I don't smell like a blunt everywhere I go. Also, I'm not paranoid/anxious of cops. Because I'm not holding. ~Overall, it was the best decision I've ever made. Thank you Jesus for keeping your hand on me. Halleluyah!
@@brettmelancon1897 I'm 4 1/2 months in and picked up working out too! It's so crazy to wake up now thinking "let's get a workout in" instead of "let's wake n bake" 😆 im proud of you and that's funny you mentioned God because I've been picking up my Bible more. I'm very spiritual and not so much religious but not smoking weed has opened my mind and heart up to God forsure. Keep it up!
@@mrskerry88 thank you & I'm proud of you also. I'm more spiritual than religious, as well. I feel religion is traditions of man. Stay in the word of God, the Bible wont steer you wrong. Keep up the great work, you're doing terrific & God bless you.
@@jamiebloor2064 “quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it a thousand times” 😭 But in all seriousness I keep quitting and getting drawn back in from the pink cloud…I recently quit for 41 days before starting to smoke again…I noticed that every time I quit I start doing better in life and every time I start smoking again it’s like a dark cloud comes over my life…when I quit smoking I can stop other bad habits like adult media content/fapping and when I smoke “idgaf” but then after the deed I regret it much more….smoking makes me lazy and lethargic, makes me unable to hold my bladder, makes me say shit I shouldn’t have when conversing with people, makes me do shit I shouldn’t have, etc…. Starting to realize I really am chasing that feeling of smoking with my friends when we were younger but now I have no friends that smoke as much as me, doesn’t really feel like I have any friends at all…feels like everyone grew out of smoking and went on with their lives and I’m still stuck living in my teen years….even this past week I only spent like $83.00 on 3 joints and a vape and I’m mad at myself for wasting that money on a flower to burn up, thinking about all the other shit I could’ve did with that money, even it was something small like buying self development books Sometimes I quit for 175 days, sometimes 80 days, sometimes only 41 days like this last stint but everytime I return the regret is more and more, and everytime I come back I realize just how much brainwashing i have to do just in order to smoke….that first high always makes me feel sick and near the point of blacking out…but then when I get “low” or back to normal I feel below baseline and smoke again and BOOM I’m back in the cycle…. You should check out the book “the easy way to quit smoking” by Alan Carr…It talks about this brainwashing Anyways after This vape hopefully I can put down this segment of my life and stop smoking for good. Each time I return and have a bad high and see my life going the wrong direction it further stamps the need to stop smoking for good
@@Thattruckerkid I keep relapsing 😖 I can go longer on these “tolerance breaks” though. Ever since the first major relapse the quitting durations/tolerance breaks are as follows. 70 days, 175 days, 80 days, 41 days, 21 days, 85 days Before I wanted to quit, going even 1 day sober was a challenge, my will power is growing but I have yet to overcome this damn hurdle 😭
A little over three months sober. I just passed a drug test to land a new job and I can’t thank you enough for these videos getting me through the rough times. Everyday is a battle and you taught me so much about how to navigate the hard time. Thank you
I am crying right now coming to your page again. Early this year (Jan-may) I was able to be smoke free, but I went back to my old friend who was smokers because I was depressed and alone, so I had to taste it again, ever since then I have not been able to quit or have a rest mind. Your page helped me so much. Right now I feel disappointed for coming back to it. Pray for us that are truly genuinely tired of smoking. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I wanna quit and return to the new me.
Stay strong we're all in this together day 3, 60, 150, 365 if you relapse don't beat yourself up just try be better every day. This channel and the comments helped so many people. Getting our lives, health, mental clarity back is a beautiful thing.
I know that feeling bro, I relapsed after quitting for 9 months for the same reason, and than for next 3 years I smoked like mad, Now I am on day 13 today
@ best way to do it is just go cold turkey bro don’t try and weave yourself off of it because you’ll never quit if you do it that way I’m a little over a week clean you got this. It is extremely hard, but you only got yourself at the end of the day!
Day 2 of quitting Thc for the second time thank you so much doctor I’m in the peak of the withdrawal I haven’t been able to sleep all night and I feel terrible now. I went to the gym and felt better but now I feel bad again. Thank you so much! I’m determined to get through withdrawl and move on
Headaches, insomnia and horrible nightmares over here on day 5. Last night my friend and I were covering up a murder we did (in my nightmare) and it was just horrific. The night before someone drained my bank account because I gave him my card and PIN and I lost my life savings and retirement fund. Then while I was trying to find him to see if I could get it back a war broke out around us all in an incredibly crowded situation and it seemed like hours of frantic terror for the pathetic 3 hours of sleep I got. Woke up drenched in sweat and terrified. Anyhoo... I know this will be worth it! 🎉
Hope you are still clean! With those vivid dreams I had horrible nightmares too but I noticed that the anxiety I had before each nights sleep made the dreams always bad. Dr frank has said this in a video before but go into each nights sleep with a positive mindset because you can’t stop the dreams anyway. Your dreams become much more positive and sometimes amazing. I had the best dreams of my life during the quitting period ( also the worst dreams as well lol) but yea good luck stay strong 💪
I have smoked weed daily for 10 years and I was recently diagnosed with Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, it's been very emotional and depressing. As I was smoking so much I had to start by cutting down. I am currently 4 days sober and genuinely so proud of myself. I know that it is going to be tough, I struggle with the vivd dreams... felt a bit crap when you said the symptoms can last up to 90 days! I have recently got in to the aquarium hobby and started up a youtube to help fill my time. It is hard but finding other people who have been though it has been a big help for me!
Me too! It was horrible. I was this the ER 2 times and have not eaten solid food fora week. Blood pressure was close to stroke high. My blood pressure is spiked up,heart palpitations , Pain. I had 2V horrible pain. This I used weed for medicine that were replaced. This feels like a nightmare m😊 I wish this was not happening time.
Smoking for 40years....stopped hundreds of times, one of the problems is loneliness....cause 80 percent do something ..you become the partypooper....find some people for support...also i have adhd and insomnia...come down slowly....also boring moods.....i am on 4 euro wiet now ..can not stand adhd pills ! Love your channel...thank you!
Doc you are so right about so much. 23 years using weed. The tip to stopping is stopping. I got ride of all my pipes, vapes and even plants. And really committed to stopped. It's suck but it works. You can do it my fellow stoners. Also don't fall for CBD it still makes you want something to feel better and that's just addiction.
This is exactly the truth! The tip to stopping is stoping and the end of the day quitting is the same for each of us, we just stop one day, how complex and hard we choose to make that process is up to us!
@@AddictionMindset ¨Hi man, watching your videos lately, having a hard time quitting. How much damage would you say is possible to recover from after long term usage? lately feels like a chore to smoke, i just do it out of habit.,,
@@Yapap1234567 I get the chore feeling 100%. As for long term damage, I have seen people in liver failure from booze basically fully recover so I would argue and research would agree much of the damage is reversed..... if you quit of course.
@@AddictionMindset thank you for this. i am now on day 3 and i'm striving for this being the end all be all. thanks for your videos, motivation and most of all, ur response
I’m 40 days sober and it was the best decision I have made and went through the bad withdrawals but I’m not 100% yet but I know I can do it and I’m so happy that I’m not craving or feeling dependent on thc all thanks to you with your advice. ❤️
This is the video that convinced me to quit cannabis. I was ready for whatever symptoms came my way. It’s day ten, and it’s been shockingly easy. I’ve had a little bit of irritability, a touch of insomnia, and absolutely wild dreams, but that’s it. I was vaping dry herb and occasionally using edibles, but no carts and rarely using concentrate, so I wonder if that’s part of why withdrawal has been so easy for me. Thank you for the motivation and encouragement your videos provide! After ten days of no use, I feel amazing. My motivation to do things is higher, thinking is clearer, energy is higher. My agoraphobia has almost entirely gone away and I feel an urge to leave the house, which hasn’t happened in three years. I didn’t realize how much regular cannabis use was impacting me. I am genuinely excited to live each day sober. For a while, cannabis was really fun and sparked my creativity, but it wore out its welcome when it was no longer worth the price I had to pay. Here’s to many more days with a clear mind and an energized heart!
It’s been almost 2 weeks without weed (unintentionally). I was a heavy smoker and I promise you that I was one of those people that didn’t think I could get addicted to it. Now I’m realizing I haven’t been processing my emotions for years now. I’m feeling everything and overwhelmingly numb at the same time. In short the withdrawals are kicking my ass. I’m not sure how TH-cam knew this to put this on my home page but I’m so glad that it did. Thank you so much for this content I really needed this
One week no THC, week and a half no nicotine! I got this. Thanks for the videos as these were critical for me to get past the first couple days/72 hour period. Keep up the good work Dr.!
Today is my 21st birthday and today is also the last day I am going to smoke weed. Chs has affected me greatly hindering what I can do from day to day and after 2 1/2 years off blaming everything but smoking I am finally tired of not being able to enjoy myself and I’m taking that back now
hey brother hows this going for you, im 20 and feel the same way my whole llife was going upscale until the day i met marry jane my life derailed but slowly and its the hardest thing to do formyself
Then pens got me hooked. I just had a moment of realization yesterday. it's gotta go, I go to sleep with it, hit it all day, then wake up and do it. First thing I do in the morning is hit the THC pen. Been like this for the past two years. Before that I was smoking about 3 joints a day. Quit Alcohol 2 weeks ago, now im going after weed.
Day 2/3 of not smoking after 10 years. UK so all black market products. Not suffering to much but wanted to say your vids are really comforting and you seem mega empathetic so big up you
@@AddictionMindset no problem! Got a busy weekend which should help. Mainly a financial decision I'm sinking so much money on it even smoking gram or under a day!
thanks for this … i’m really struggling with THC addiction.. can’t even go a week without it. praying this video will help me change my mindset to quit.
So greatful for this!!! I’ve been terrified to stop because of my mental health and the withdrawals in rehab I went through just from weed was insane! The psychologists said it’s longer than a meth withdrawal. But I remember after 30 days I felt that control. I need to hold myself accountable again and stop. THANKYOU
After almost 8-10 years of smoking weed, i am on day 120 without any use of Thc, alcoholic or any kind of drug substances. I know it’s really hard especially when at the same time you have to deal with an arduous breakup. There has been 2 months now since i moved to another country which marijuana is legal (Netherlands) and at first it was really hard to ease the urge to smoke because even my roommate does it. The thing is that all the cravings have now gone, my issue seems to be more of psychological, of course I can’t blame weed for these feelings but it certainly affected them as it was a part of me for many years. Anyways I want to encourage you to keep going if you have quitted and to tell you that practicing meditation and exercise/eating clean helped me along the way. Just to give you a small piece of advice that helped me personally. Take care everyone and lets reach 365 days of being sober!
I come from Holland Amsterdam and live middle in the city.....born there. I smoked 25 years cigarettes and last 10 years weed everyday the strongest Amnesia haze €20 a day I quit everything 1 year now cold turkey and no help, medicine and i am alone.....all mindset, discipline, focus and attitude. Everyday i walk across coffeeshops but it does nothing to me and dont miss it. I sport a lot and change my life radical. You still stopped?
I literally cannot thank you enough for making this. I’m literally in tears suffering from this and your video gave me so much hope. Thank you so much❤ I had gotten out of the Marine Corps in 2022 and began smoking immediately. After a a year and a half of dabbing and smoking I experienced CHS and could not eat or drink for 4 days and was in the ER for 3 days…it hasnt been a week sober yet but im still struggling with no appetite and constant nausea. If you notice any of the warning signs please, please get help. CHS is absolutely no joke and should always be tackled right away.
I’ve been smoking almost everyday since 2019, I threw up acid bile & blood last Saturday and went to the ER, they did a X-ray said everything is fine but could be gastritis, GERD, etc. I stopped smoking everything, weed vapes, flower, nicotine vapes, and I noticed my symptoms got less worse since than I don’t throw up acid as much, my stomach burns less from the feeling of the acid in my stomach, it’s like I would over do it and smoke so much and my stomach would boil, quitting smoking was amazing i threw out my bongs, pens, grinders etc.
This is great man, im on day 3 and needed this. So glad I came across your channel. Thank you for making these videos, seriously can't tell you how much it helps just to hear someone else talk about what im going through. Preach it!
Its to the point I have no choice but to quit whether i enjoy it or not the health effects I am having I can no longer ignore. This is the only thing im clinging too so tightly
I smoked from 15 years to 41 years .....last 10 years also weed. I quit everything cold turkey 1 year ago.....use nothing, no medicine, no alcohol NOTHING! All mindset, power, discipline, focus. I always sport and still sport . I change my life radical and have no people around me who smoked or something..... Success yall.
So, after being “sober“ from other drugs, and now I am at the place to give up cannabis. Your videos are so incredibly helpful and I just wanted to give a shout out because I also shop at Wegmans.😅
Been smoking over 10 15 years I’m 30 I am going to try to quit but all the comments and videos make me cry I can’t explain it I hope I can beat this!!!
I woke up in a cortisol night sweat. Also having severe realizations on the state of my life that I repressed with THC. It's probably my biggest problem.
This video was perfect, thank you ! The irritability and anxiety is definitely the hardest part! I’ve never smoked during work where id always get anxious and irritated and it took me years to figure out that it’s daily withdrawals from weed, I definitely have a fear of public panic attacks and getting irritated by people cus that’s not who I am, im definitely gonna try the weighted blanket and read “why zebras don’t get ulcers”
Week sober now after 20 years of daily weed/nicotine use. It was pretty rough the first 3 days but its getting better each day. Main thing im struggling with is sleeping, im wide awake and have a lot of energy. Im sure this will pass at some point just keep at it! Keep yourself busy and avoid getting bored is my best advice. Tell your friends and people around you that you stopped as well.
My wife and I have been using your videos to steer us through our son's problems with withdrawl. He is having significant problems with nausea and diarrhoea and we are concerned because he quit 4 weeks ago. Does anyone know why the nausea and vomiting are lasting so long ? The videos help him as well as us. Keep up the good work and have a good year in 2022.
Is he feeling better now? Im 16 and recently quit smoking weed 7 days ago struggling to eat at all it’s giving me extreme nausea hoping the end is in sight havent eaten more than a few minuscule bites of a meal here and there (typically only once or twice a day) for 4 days this shit is rough hope your son is doing well
I got straight to lifting weights but boy the sweating drove me crazy, got me really really angry. You made things a lot better now I know this should pass soon. Thanks buddy
Im 3 days in to a 3 year plus daily weed habit. Its hard but these video's really really help. I just wanted to say thank you for your work and i appreciate you ❤
These symptoms are spot on! When u started with the insomnia I was like "yeah true". Then u hit with the nausea/dehydration and malnutrition and I was totally relating to that, But.. When u said "Next I want to talk about headache".. God I get all of that, I had to pause it because it was to real to actually see other people struggling too. I'm planning on starting college soon. I want to be able to learn and perform 100% and actually not hermit in a corner of class until day is done. I'm deciding on dental hygienist starting as dental assistant or information technology which are both different. I want to see who I really am before I pick a career and make better decisions. Weed really is a prison if used wrong. I love me sober more. ☺️ Thank u so much for talking about this openly and encouraging and motivating me and everyone else who See's or seeks help.
I made it 10 days sober then folded. Not even 24 hours and I already feel withdrawal symptoms starting with the sweats. Cold/hot, insomnia, anxiety time to buckle up and get ready for this ride.
I didnt know like 99% of this, but all that you said was on point all the way through. All of your tips have helped me get through the extream nausea of withdrawls thst was a main reason why i couldnt quite in the first place. Now i dont get sick no more. And im clean off the green after 15+ years of smoking. God bless you man.🙏 ima save your video for people who i come across with this problem.
2 months sober. I related to this so much. Thank you for these videos! The irritability and insomnia is so true. Working out and getting a good sweat in has tremendously helped me sleep.
Dr. Frank I can't thank you enough for this video. I've been an off and on weed smoker since I was 14 years old, I am now 50. Since weed became legal in Ca. 2016 I started vaping it hard core everyday all day. for the past 2 years I've been trying to quit only to fail due to nausea and vertigo. I am 5 days in on quitting right now and have been sick as hell (no vomiting thank God). I just tried the ginger tip for the nausea and it's working. I will probably watch this video over and over till I'm free. I've looked up a lot of videos and this was the best most informative I have found! I'm gonna subscribe and check out more of your vids! God bless and have an awesome day.
Day 14 today of being sober! after 17 years of being a daily heavy smoker, from waking up through the whole day! As a general manager i was a perfect example of a functional addict, but in the inside a was an anxious mess.its not being easy but your videos have helped me so much Dr.Frank your helping so many people without knowing outside de US. Thanks you so much!! My sleeping have become so much easier after like 7-10 days, cold sweats where the most i felt the first week. I feel the support of this community feeling im not alone! doing this for my family and reaching my real potencial! hope everybody mantains strong in the fight! big hugs! Dr. Frank again your the best. Keep this good fight alive.
Watching your videos have helped me stay sober from weed for a solid 2 months now! It has been so helpful to know what to expect and and to have some tips to coping w the withdrawal. Thank you for the work you do!!
im day one , i gave up last year for 4 months,it was really hard, thank you for talking about these symtons , i feel a liitle bit more knowledgable xx thank you x
Day 3 of a 30 year daily addiction. Attempted several times without success but, Your videos and strategies are really helpful and I believe this advice will make it possible this time!
I struggled a bit directly after this attempt. But I'm happy to say that I haven't given up and I tried again. This time I'm smoke free for the last 2 months with zero desires! In fact I'm so confident in myself now that I just went and rewarded myself with a brand new Mercedes-Benz C63!! So thank you so much for all your knowledge!!
Hello Dr Frank, today's 30 days smoke free for me yay, i quit nicotine and thc together which was super dangerous and wreckless I almost died day 3, but glad thats over, went through some severe fukcing withdrawls over the course of the next few weeks. Never thought I'd make it if not for you . Thanks so so much 🙏 looking forward to my 90 days and then 1 year milestone.
I am quiting weed after 17 years consumption. This channel probably will be part of may salvation. Stay strong, guys. We have all the power we need without stuff.
19 years straight. Over 1k a month spent on concentrates and nicotine vapes. I'm at day 6 for the weed and day 5 for nicotine. Staying focused, hasn't been super easy but it's been manageable with your videos. Thank you so much!!!
The insomnia is crazy.. its Probably one of the hardest things I have ever gone through . I’ve been an advocate smoker for 25 years every day all day .. I am on day 17 with weed free. I’m glad to read these posts. It really helps a lot.
I started smoking at 17 but regularly at age 30. I'll be 50 in February 2025. The first time I stopped cold turkey was for 18 months. I stopped a month ago and plan to never go back because the withdrawals are just too much for me to handle especially the moodiness and anger. I want to kill everything and everyone and have zero patience. I've started working out everyday in order to cope, which has many benefits but the anger has been a serious challenge for me this time around. If you have been smoking for as long as me and plan to stop know this, let the ones you really care about know that you've stopped smoking and that they might not hear from you for a while. You can do this but by no means will it be an easy journey! BTW, if it wasn't for these videos I would have lasted a week.
Wow. I can’t believe you replied. I seriously pray for you everyday because I started my process easier due to your videos. Knowledge is pretty empowering. God bless you man!
Thank you so much for this channel and the videos you continue to upload! Your videos help me out a ton! Im currently on Day 3 i had my last smoke on sunday evening! Withdrawal has been awful however im following all your advice and i can say its 100% working! I'm so glad i finally feel understood and like im not going crazy! After weed, i plan to quit nicotine which i will be following your videos and advice for, so once again thank you so much!!! I would never of have the balls to try quit if it wasnt for this channel!
Heck yes!!!! I am thrilled to have you as part of this community. Every one who struggles with addiction has all of the traits they need to quit. Grit, persistence, obsession, determination.... and the list goes on, you are simply using those traits to feed addiction vs overcome addiction. I know you got this!
You should have quit the nicotine first because nicotine is physically addictive but weed isn't...I'm on day forty and only symptom I had from weed cessation was a little aggravation...I've heard war stories about nicotine withdrawal
Been trying for a while now hope this time it goes better but for everyone who is trying to quit don’t think that by watching this video you are quitting weed
Im day 2 in and was a daily smoker for the past 16 years. Most of this is true and don’t forget about the crazy vivid dreams you will have at night. Good luck all !
Im quitting after over 20 years of smoking just now. Workouts help A LOT! Both cardio and weights. Only problem is I cant go over 2h cardio and 2h workout daily or I cant recover :D Thanks for videos. I will binge them today and nail this detox :D edit: vivid dreams, sounds nice :D I only get savage nightmares xD love it
BTW god bless you man and the work you do and F all addictions: eating disorders, nicotine, sex, codependency, workaholism. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Please.🙏🏽
For anyone also going through it the withdrawal for the fist time like me and man it's absolutely not great for me i had to be in the hospital from how much I was thrown up and just extremely nauseous everything made me throw up and my stomach was burning like someone poured hot liquid metal on the inside of the top of my stomach. started happening on the 3 day I'm on 5 and it's does get better sooner then you think just have to pull through cuz it's rough after just know what you are doing is beautiful and you are stronger and greater for doing this you are not alone
i have taken breaks from weed for months at a time for years now. i'm only 20 hours in, and this is by far the WORST i have felt. impending doom is looming above me 😞 im happy to read these comments, it makes me feel a lot better :)
I've never seriously considered stopping smoking until coming across this channel and watching a couple videos. Keep it up, more people my age need to see this.
oooomg ! Thank you for this ! This is my 2nd time trying to quit. The first time I didn't know what was happening to me . Thank you for getting this info out to us ❤

This is what it’s all about Mary!!! 😌😌love it!
Congrats ! I just threw away the rest of the weed I had while listening to this video. I'm ready for a better life. Today is my day 0. Wish me luck !
@@CookWithStephh best wishes to you!!! You really CAN do it!! I never thought after smoking daily for 35 years, I’d ever be able to be weed free, yet here I am on day 91!!! & despite loneliness, loosing my grandad, relocating to San Diego where I know no one, a divorce from a diagnosed narcissist, no sex for damn near two years, complete isolation & turning the big 50 in January, I have never felt better! Lol felt like my life is in the season of a sad country song :) But My mind is clear, my appetite is normal, I’m less depressed, my breath smells better, have more energy & I’m not spending a fortune. Your first month will be difficult, you may have crazy dreams, insomnia, lack of appetite & cry more than usual, but it passes and will be well worth it. Be gentle with yourself, drink lots of water, eat light, go for walks, ride the waves of emotions & practice encouraging yourself with positive words. I also used GABA with L-theanine, 5000 iu of D3, and NAC 900 mg 2x per day as advised by a holistic Dr. to help with withdrawal & depression. detoxing from heavy news, watching stand up & listening to Jason Stephenson 8 hour meditations at night/during sleep to help my mind rest helped a lot too. Writing a pro/con list & writing reasons to stop on my mirror also helped. Researching the effects of weed on the body & Dr. Frank & Dr. Gabor Mate videos helped tremendously. The damage is rarely spoken of- especially in California & as a hip hop head where it’s “just part of the culture”. I know how hard it is to quit so Im VERY PROUD OF YOU for taking the leap towards the best version of yourself. Extend yourself grace if you relapse and then begin again. It’s the most loving thing I’ve ever done for myself. May you extend yourself the same love, you’re more than worthy & your future self will thank you. Sending you extra strength endurance & a hug. Congratulations You got this!!! 🙏🏽🤎😊

It's because I was withdrawling off 15 years of everyday pot smoking! I was so dumbfounded and didn't even know this could happen! It made me quit altogether and your videos helped me with that. Thank you for all you do
I also smoked weed for 15 years. I'm 4 days sober today. Ready to heal.

@@carlbland68 Today is day 90 of no weed. I feel great. I started working out and feel so much better. Glory to God for helping me. I am also saving money. Before a lot of my money (about $250-$300 per week) went to herb, rillos & hash wax. Now, I'm saving to buy a house. Another positive, is that my breathing has gotten better; I'm not coughing up brown mucus everyday & I don't smell like a blunt everywhere I go. Also, I'm not paranoid/anxious of cops. Because I'm not holding.
~Overall, it was the best decision I've ever made. Thank you Jesus for keeping your hand on me. Halleluyah!

Update brother
@@jamiebloor2064 “quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it a thousand times” 😭
But in all seriousness I keep quitting and getting drawn back in from the pink cloud…I recently quit for 41 days before starting to smoke again…I noticed that every time I quit I start doing better in life and every time I start smoking again it’s like a dark cloud comes over my life…when I quit smoking I can stop other bad habits like adult media content/fapping and when I smoke “idgaf” but then after the deed I regret it much more….smoking makes me lazy and lethargic, makes me unable to hold my bladder, makes me say shit I shouldn’t have when conversing with people, makes me do shit I shouldn’t have, etc….
Starting to realize I really am chasing that feeling of smoking with my friends when we were younger but now I have no friends that smoke as much as me, doesn’t really feel like I have any friends at all…feels like everyone grew out of smoking and went on with their lives and I’m still stuck living in my teen years….even this past week I only spent like $83.00 on 3 joints and a vape and I’m mad at myself for wasting that money on a flower to burn up, thinking about all the other shit I could’ve did with that money, even it was something small like buying self development books
Sometimes I quit for 175 days, sometimes 80 days, sometimes only 41 days like this last stint but everytime I return the regret is more and more, and everytime I come back I realize just how much brainwashing i have to do just in order to smoke….that first high always makes me feel sick and near the point of blacking out…but then when I get “low” or back to normal I feel below baseline and smoke again and BOOM I’m back in the cycle….
You should check out the book “the easy way to quit smoking” by Alan Carr…It talks about this brainwashing
Anyways after This vape hopefully I can put down this segment of my life and stop smoking for good. Each time I return and have a bad high and see my life going the wrong direction it further stamps the need to stop smoking for good
Update
@@Thattruckerkid I keep relapsing 😖
I can go longer on these “tolerance breaks” though. Ever since the first major relapse the quitting durations/tolerance breaks are as follows. 70 days, 175 days, 80 days, 41 days, 21 days, 85 days
Before I wanted to quit, going even 1 day sober was a challenge, my will power is growing but I have yet to overcome this damn hurdle 😭
A little over three months sober. I just passed a drug test to land a new job and I can’t thank you enough for these videos getting me through the rough times. Everyday is a battle and you taught me so much about how to navigate the hard time. Thank you
Huge congrats Andrew!

Day 3 again.. I'm pacing like a mad man..
brother its super hard, i dont know why I ever even smoked the weed, i think if i knew all this withdrwal symptoms i would never smoke for real bro!!!
I am crying right now coming to your page again. Early this year (Jan-may) I was able to be smoke free, but I went back to my old friend who was smokers because I was depressed and alone, so I had to taste it again, ever since then I have not been able to quit or have a rest mind. Your page helped me so much. Right now I feel disappointed for coming back to it. Pray for us that are truly genuinely tired of smoking. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I wanna quit and return to the new me.
Stay strong we're all in this together day 3, 60, 150, 365 if you relapse don't beat yourself up just try be better every day. This channel and the comments helped so many people. Getting our lives, health, mental clarity back is a beautiful thing.

Now I am on day 13 today

@@jerzeyygirl back on it
Headaches, insomnia and horrible nightmares over here on day 5. Last night my friend and I were covering up a murder we did (in my nightmare) and it was just horrific. The night before someone drained my bank account because I gave him my card and PIN and I lost my life savings and retirement fund. Then while I was trying to find him to see if I could get it back a war broke out around us all in an incredibly crowded situation and it seemed like hours of frantic terror for the pathetic 3 hours of sleep I got. Woke up drenched in sweat and terrified. Anyhoo... I know this will be worth it! 🎉
Hope you are still clean! With those vivid dreams I had horrible nightmares too but I noticed that the anxiety I had before each nights sleep made the dreams always bad. Dr frank has said this in a video before but go into each nights sleep with a positive mindset because you can’t stop the dreams anyway. Your dreams become much more positive and sometimes amazing. I had the best dreams of my life during the quitting period ( also the worst dreams as well lol) but yea good luck stay strong 💪
I've had dreams like that, the murder one, absolutely HORRIBLE.
I have smoked weed daily for 10 years and I was recently diagnosed with Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, it's been very emotional and depressing. As I was smoking so much I had to start by cutting down. I am currently 4 days sober and genuinely so proud of myself. I know that it is going to be tough, I struggle with the vivd dreams... felt a bit crap when you said the symptoms can last up to 90 days! I have recently got in to the aquarium hobby and started up a youtube to help fill my time. It is hard but finding other people who have been though it has been a big help for me!
10 years, wanted to quit by myself. 63 days sober, still not feeling good, keep going
Yeah you should be proud you went a few days not smoking pot!!!! What an accomplishment
Me too! It was horrible. I was this the ER 2 times and have not eaten solid food fora week. Blood pressure was close to stroke high. My blood pressure is spiked up,heart palpitations , Pain. I had 2V horrible pain. This I used weed for medicine that were replaced. This feels like a nightmare m😊 I wish this was not happening time.
Smoking for 40years....stopped hundreds of times, one of the problems is loneliness....cause 80 percent do something ..you become the partypooper....find some people for support...also i have adhd and insomnia...come down slowly....also boring moods.....i am on 4 euro wiet now ..can not stand adhd pills ! Love your channel...thank you!
Aquariums saved my life
here we are, going through it! dont give in, lets do this!
Doc you are so right about so much. 23 years using weed. The tip to stopping is stopping. I got ride of all my pipes, vapes and even plants. And really committed to stopped. It's suck but it works.
You can do it my fellow stoners.
Also don't fall for CBD it still makes you want something to feel better and that's just addiction.
This is exactly the truth! The tip to stopping is stoping and the end of the day quitting is the same for each of us, we just stop one day, how complex and hard we choose to make that process is up to us!

This is the video that convinced me to quit cannabis. I was ready for whatever symptoms came my way. It’s day ten, and it’s been shockingly easy. I’ve had a little bit of irritability, a touch of insomnia, and absolutely wild dreams, but that’s it. I was vaping dry herb and occasionally using edibles, but no carts and rarely using concentrate, so I wonder if that’s part of why withdrawal has been so easy for me. Thank you for the motivation and encouragement your videos provide!
After ten days of no use, I feel amazing. My motivation to do things is higher, thinking is clearer, energy is higher. My agoraphobia has almost entirely gone away and I feel an urge to leave the house, which hasn’t happened in three years. I didn’t realize how much regular cannabis use was impacting me.
I am genuinely excited to live each day sober. For a while, cannabis was really fun and sparked my creativity, but it wore out its welcome when it was no longer worth the price I had to pay.
Here’s to many more days with a clear mind and an energized heart!
You’re absolutely right it’s way easier to quit flower than it is concentrates and pens in my experience 😅
It’s been almost 2 weeks without weed (unintentionally). I was a heavy smoker and I promise you that I was one of those people that didn’t think I could get addicted to it. Now I’m realizing I haven’t been processing my emotions for years now. I’m feeling everything and overwhelmingly numb at the same time. In short the withdrawals are kicking my ass. I’m not sure how TH-cam knew this to put this on my home page but I’m so glad that it did. Thank you so much for this content I really needed this

Today is my 21st birthday and today is also the last day I am going to smoke weed. Chs has affected me greatly hindering what I can do from day to day and after 2 1/2 years off blaming everything but smoking I am finally tired of not being able to enjoy myself and I’m taking that back now
hey brother hows this going for you, im 20 and feel the same way my whole llife was going upscale until the day i met marry jane my life derailed but slowly and its the hardest thing to do formyself
Lol
Then pens got me hooked. I just had a moment of realization yesterday. it's gotta go, I go to sleep with it, hit it all day, then wake up and do it. First thing I do in the morning is hit the THC pen. Been like this for the past two years. Before that I was smoking about 3 joints a day. Quit Alcohol 2 weeks ago, now im going after weed.
Same boat as u
Yep them dang pens. They got me too.
Same thing here I'm 2 months clean and doing way better now I hope your still on the right track I find now it's all worth it ❤

So greatful for this!!! I’ve been terrified to stop because of my mental health and the withdrawals in rehab I went through just from weed was insane! The psychologists said it’s longer than a meth withdrawal. But I remember after 30 days I felt that control. I need to hold myself accountable again and stop.
THANKYOU
After almost 8-10 years of smoking weed, i am on day 120 without any use of Thc, alcoholic or any kind of drug substances. I know it’s really hard especially when at the same time you have to deal with an arduous breakup. There has been 2 months now since i moved to another country which marijuana is legal (Netherlands) and at first it was really hard to ease the urge to smoke because even my roommate does it. The thing is that all the cravings have now gone, my issue seems to be more of psychological, of course I can’t blame weed for these feelings but it certainly affected them as it was a part of me for many years. Anyways I want to encourage you to keep going if you have quitted and to tell you that practicing meditation and exercise/eating clean helped me along the way. Just to give you a small piece of advice that helped me personally. Take care everyone and lets reach 365 days of being sober!
I come from Holland Amsterdam and live middle in the city.....born there.
I smoked 25 years cigarettes and last 10 years weed everyday the strongest Amnesia haze €20 a day
I quit everything 1 year now cold turkey and no help, medicine and i am alone.....all mindset, discipline, focus and attitude.
Everyday i walk across coffeeshops but it does nothing to me and dont miss it.
I sport a lot and change my life radical.
You still stopped?
I literally cannot thank you enough for making this. I’m literally in tears suffering from this and your video gave me so much hope. Thank you so much❤ I had gotten out of the Marine Corps in 2022 and began smoking immediately. After a a year and a half of dabbing and smoking I experienced CHS and could not eat or drink for 4 days and was in the ER for 3 days…it hasnt been a week sober yet but im still struggling with no appetite and constant nausea. If you notice any of the warning signs please, please get help. CHS is absolutely no joke and should always be tackled right away.
Bro, I’m going through this same exact process right now! Today I was discharged from er, I’m struggling big time atm, tell me it gets better.
@gingersmudga3920 hey brother, how you doing after a month later?
I’ve been smoking almost everyday since 2019, I threw up acid bile & blood last Saturday and went to the ER, they did a X-ray said everything is fine but could be gastritis, GERD, etc. I stopped smoking everything, weed vapes, flower, nicotine vapes, and I noticed my symptoms got less worse since than I don’t throw up acid as much, my stomach burns less from the feeling of the acid in my stomach, it’s like I would over do it and smoke so much and my stomach would boil, quitting smoking was amazing i threw out my bongs, pens, grinders etc.
This is great man, im on day 3 and needed this. So glad I came across your channel. Thank you for making these videos, seriously can't tell you how much it helps just to hear someone else talk about what im going through. Preach it!
Hey fam, did you manage to stay off it? Hoes the journey been
Its to the point I have no choice but to quit whether i enjoy it or not the health effects I am having I can no longer ignore. This is the only thing im clinging too so tightly
Thanks Dr. Frank, I’m 51 long term user, needed a change. Appreciate these videos, they make a ton of sense, with a sense of humor!

Day 0 , wish me luck
I smoked from 15 years to 41 years .....last 10 years also weed.
I quit everything cold turkey 1 year ago.....use nothing, no medicine, no alcohol NOTHING!
All mindset, power, discipline, focus.
I always sport and still sport .
I change my life radical and have no people around me who smoked or something.....
Success yall.
So, after being “sober“ from other drugs, and now I am at the place to give up cannabis. Your videos are so incredibly helpful and I just wanted to give a shout out because I also shop at Wegmans.😅
Day 3 for me, 25 years addiction. Painful but still growing strong 💪
Hey fam, I'm on day 3 today. How have you been? Are you still going strong?
Been smoking over 10 15 years I’m 30 I am going to try to quit but all the comments and videos make me cry I can’t explain it I hope I can beat this!!!
Hey man how you doing, hope you’re doing good now :)
I woke up in a cortisol night sweat. Also having severe realizations on the state of my life that I repressed with THC. It's probably my biggest problem.
This video was perfect, thank you ! The irritability and anxiety is definitely the hardest part! I’ve never smoked during work where id always get anxious and irritated and it took me years to figure out that it’s daily withdrawals from weed, I definitely have a fear of public panic attacks and getting irritated by people cus that’s not who I am, im definitely gonna try the weighted blanket and read “why zebras don’t get ulcers”
that is so often over looked, the fact that you are already facing withdrawals daily. So glad to hear you had that ah ha moment!
Super excited #Doctorojie cured my hsv I promised to share your good work to the whole world .
Week sober now after 20 years of daily weed/nicotine use. It was pretty rough the first 3 days but its getting better each day. Main thing im struggling with is sleeping, im wide awake and have a lot of energy. Im sure this will pass at some point just keep at it! Keep yourself busy and avoid getting bored is my best advice. Tell your friends and people around you that you stopped as well.
My wife and I have been using your videos to steer us through our son's problems with withdrawl. He is having significant problems with nausea and diarrhoea and we are concerned because he quit 4 weeks ago. Does anyone know why the nausea and vomiting are lasting so long ? The videos help him as well as us. Keep up the good work and have a good year in 2022.
Is he feeling better now? Im 16 and recently quit smoking weed 7 days ago struggling to eat at all it’s giving me extreme nausea hoping the end is in sight havent eaten more than a few minuscule bites of a meal here and there (typically only once or twice a day) for 4 days this shit is rough hope your son is doing well
I got straight to lifting weights but boy the sweating drove me crazy, got me really really angry. You made things a lot better now I know this should pass soon. Thanks buddy
Im 3 days in to a 3 year plus daily weed habit. Its hard but these video's really really help. I just wanted to say thank you for your work and i appreciate you ❤
These symptoms are spot on! When u started with the insomnia I was like "yeah true". Then u hit with the nausea/dehydration and malnutrition and I was totally relating to that, But.. When u said "Next I want to talk about headache".. God I get all of that, I had to pause it because it was to real to actually see other people struggling too. I'm planning on starting college soon. I want to be able to learn and perform 100% and actually not hermit in a corner of class until day is done. I'm deciding on dental hygienist starting as dental assistant or information technology which are both different. I want to see who I really am before I pick a career and make better decisions. Weed really is a prison if used wrong. I love me sober more. ☺️
Thank u so much for talking about this openly and encouraging and motivating me and everyone else who See's or seeks help.
I made it 10 days sober then folded. Not even 24 hours and I already feel withdrawal symptoms starting with the sweats. Cold/hot, insomnia, anxiety time to buckle up and get ready for this ride.
I didnt know like 99% of this, but all that you said was on point all the way through. All of your tips have helped me get through the extream nausea of withdrawls thst was a main reason why i couldnt quite in the first place. Now i dont get sick no more. And im clean off the green after 15+ years of smoking. God bless you man.🙏 ima save your video for people who i come across with this problem.
2 months sober. I related to this so much. Thank you for these videos! The irritability and insomnia is so true. Working out and getting a good sweat in has tremendously helped me sleep.
Still sober a year later ♥️

Since weed became legal in Ca. 2016 I started vaping it hard core everyday all day. for the past 2 years I've been trying to quit only to fail due to nausea and vertigo. I am 5 days in on quitting right now and have been sick as hell (no vomiting thank God). I just tried the ginger tip for the nausea and it's working. I will probably watch this video over and over till I'm free. I've looked up a lot of videos and this was the best most informative I have found! I'm gonna subscribe and check out more of your vids! God bless and have an awesome day.
Has anyone realized that they feel especially drawn to weed when bored?
Yes 😢
It makes you “ok” with being bored
When he said weed doesn’t cure boredom, it simply makes you complacent in your boredom. That hit! 😮
I have for 39 years I'm on day one today lord be with me
Exactly bored and lonely 😢
5 weeks sober! Your Videos helped me alot through all of this shit!
Greetings from Eastgermany!

I feel the support of this community feeling im not alone! doing this for my family and reaching my real potencial! hope everybody mantains strong in the fight! big hugs! Dr. Frank again your the best. Keep this good fight alive.
Ginger is a wonderful and natural thing. I used it when I was pregnant. I also use ginger for migraine. Powder ginger 1tsp. in squash juice or water.
Watching your videos have helped me stay sober from weed for a solid 2 months now! It has been so helpful to know what to expect and and to have some tips to coping w the withdrawal. Thank you for the work you do!!
I cry so easily looking back at things that I didn't cry about but should've , kinda like a build up of feelings pushing back up into today
im day one , i gave up last year for 4 months,it was really hard, thank you for talking about these symtons , i feel a liitle bit more knowledgable xx thank you x
Day 3 of a 30 year daily addiction. Attempted several times without success but, Your videos and strategies are really helpful and I believe this advice will make it possible this time!
Still clean?
How did it go?
I struggled a bit directly after this attempt. But I'm happy to say that I haven't given up and I tried again. This time I'm smoke free for the last 2 months with zero desires! In fact I'm so confident in myself now that I just went and rewarded myself with a brand new Mercedes-Benz C63!! So thank you so much for all your knowledge!!
Today is day 5 clean. 16 year additions to cannabis. I was a slave to it all day!!
This is my second day sober and I am struggling with eating and nausea but this video really helped thank you!
I’m on Day 4 after going cold turkey. 5 year plus weed smoker. I plan to stay sober for life.
Hello Dr Frank, today's 30 days smoke free for me yay, i quit nicotine and thc together which was super dangerous and wreckless I almost died day 3, but glad thats over, went through some severe fukcing withdrawls over the course of the next few weeks. Never thought I'd make it if not for you . Thanks so so much 🙏 looking forward to my 90 days and then 1 year milestone.
Hey Fam, reading this comment gives me so much hope. I'm on day 3 today. Have you managed to stay off it?
I am quiting weed after 17 years consumption. This channel probably will be part of may salvation.
Stay strong, guys. We have all the power we need without stuff.
19 years straight. Over 1k a month spent on concentrates and nicotine vapes. I'm at day 6 for the weed and day 5 for nicotine. Staying focused, hasn't been super easy but it's been manageable with your videos. Thank you so much!!!
The insomnia is crazy.. its Probably one of the hardest things I have ever gone through . I’ve been an advocate smoker for 25 years every day all day .. I am on day 17 with weed free. I’m glad to read these posts. It really helps a lot.
I started smoking at 17 but regularly at age 30. I'll be 50 in February 2025. The first time I stopped cold turkey was for 18 months. I stopped a month ago and plan to never go back because the withdrawals are just too much for me to handle especially the moodiness and anger. I want to kill everything and everyone and have zero patience. I've started working out everyday in order to cope, which has many benefits but the anger has been a serious challenge for me this time around. If you have been smoking for as long as me and plan to stop know this, let the ones you really care about know that you've stopped smoking and that they might not hear from you for a while. You can do this but by no means will it be an easy journey! BTW, if it wasn't for these videos I would have lasted a week.
Wow. I can’t believe you replied. I seriously pray for you everyday because I started my process easier due to your videos. Knowledge is pretty empowering. God bless you man!
I stopped again and this is my second night and finding it sooooo hard!
Keep going bro it’s honestly so worth it
Yeah dude for some reason day 2 is insanely horrible.
Dam was it worth that pain! I feel so much better
@@qm2960 how so??? I just quit and I feel like I'm dying
I’m glad you said this video is for an addiction to ‘black market weed’ and not the stuff you buy at legal dispensaries
Thanks alot I smoked for 2000 continuous hours, and i am clean for a week today
Most important TH-cam Channel on TH-cam. I swear to god you have changed the foundation in my eyes
I love how straight to the point you are. It really helps me cut the bs and get real with myself.
Thank you so much for this channel and the videos you continue to upload! Your videos help me out a ton! Im currently on Day 3 i had my last smoke on sunday evening! Withdrawal has been awful however im following all your advice and i can say its 100% working! I'm so glad i finally feel understood and like im not going crazy! After weed, i plan to quit nicotine which i will be following your videos and advice for, so once again thank you so much!!! I would never of have the balls to try quit if it wasnt for this channel!
Heck yes!!!! I am thrilled to have you as part of this community. Every one who struggles with addiction has all of the traits they need to quit. Grit, persistence, obsession, determination.... and the list goes on, you are simply using those traits to feed addiction vs overcome addiction. I know you got this!
congrats Rundink! I quit both and have stayed off both w the help of this channel as well. You can do it!
You should have quit the nicotine first because nicotine is physically addictive but weed isn't...I'm on day forty and only symptom I had from weed cessation was a little aggravation...I've heard war stories about nicotine withdrawal
I have watched a lot of content on weed withdrawals and this is by far the best so far. Well done 👍
Thanks I really try to put a lot into it!
This guy really needs way more subscribers and likes he has helped me so much! 🙏🏻
Been trying for a while now hope this time it goes better but for everyone who is trying to quit don’t think that by watching this video you are quitting weed
This is facts buds... I often times tell people to stop watching and start doing!
Im day 2 in and was a daily smoker for the past 16 years. Most of this is true and don’t forget about the crazy vivid dreams you will have at night. Good luck all !
Im quitting after over 20 years of smoking just now. Workouts help A LOT! Both cardio and weights. Only problem is I cant go over 2h cardio and 2h workout daily or I cant recover :D Thanks for videos. I will binge them today and nail this detox :D
edit: vivid dreams, sounds nice :D I only get savage nightmares xD love it
BTW god bless you man and the work you do and F all addictions: eating disorders, nicotine, sex, codependency, workaholism.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Please.🙏🏽
10 days sober. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Guys I have been smoking for 8yrs straight and I am starting my journey today....wish me luck❤
For anyone also going through it the withdrawal for the fist time like me and man it's absolutely not great for me i had to be in the hospital from how much I was thrown up and just extremely nauseous everything made me throw up and my stomach was burning like someone poured hot liquid metal on the inside of the top of my stomach. started happening on the 3 day I'm on 5 and it's does get better sooner then you think just have to pull through cuz it's rough after just know what you are doing is beautiful and you are stronger and greater for doing this you are not alone
Crazy I’m feeling my mind change as I’m detoxing I can make clearer truthful decisions and conclusions even if it’s about myself
I’m new i decided to go on this journey to help with my mental health issues and over all so it can make me a better person
i have taken breaks from weed for months at a time for years now. i'm only 20 hours in, and this is by far the WORST i have felt. impending doom is looming above me 😞 im happy to read these comments, it makes me feel a lot better :)
I've never seriously considered stopping smoking until coming across this channel and watching a couple videos. Keep it up, more people my age need to see this.
This is extremely helpful thank you for this educational information.
Day 16 and Still Going thank God ❤
oooomg ! Thank you for this ! This is my 2nd time trying to quit. The first time I didn't know what was happening to me . Thank you for getting this info out to us ❤
