I’m on day 3 of quitting marijuana after 30 yrs of daily use. Thank you for your videos, they are helping me get through this process.
🙏 #getthru72
congratulations that’s a big step in the right direction you can do it brother/sister
Your not alone the videos helped me thru the process a year ago...after a lifetime of heavy usage .... Stay committed and keep your discipline in front of everything you do. You can do it .
3 days today too after 8 years daily, we got this dude! 👍
Day 3 here too. 21 years smoking. Had a few relapses along the way.
You teach me how to live as a man, something i was never taught. My father passed of cancer at 2 years old, and was raised by my grandmother.
I’m day three of going completely cold turkey off corn nicotine and weed. I am 20 and have been hooked to corn for over ten years and have been smoking weed daily for 5 years. Nicotine was only started a few months back. I have previously stopped smoking weed for month increments but ultimately come up short with relapse. Its not all bad though because it makes this current process a wee bit easier. The 100% hardest part about this will be stopping corn as I have watched daily, usually multiple times a day for a decade, to the point where I sometimes don’t feel anything. So far in these three days sleep has been the hard part along with not eating but a meal a day and just flooding my mind with depressing mixed emotions out of nowhere, which is very normal and I have been though before. I know I need to stop and so many wake up calls have been slapping me in the face. I got T-boned a few days ago and totaled my car and my third year of college just started, I want to become a different person entirely for the better and I know I can do it. Hard times make strong men. I just wanted to post this here to sort-of hold myself accountable and update the comments for progress and to show people that you can do fking anything you set your mind to.
i started vaping then smoking 5 years ago when my life fell apart and I've realized. even though i struggled a lot with things mentally, having really bad adhd. there was a calm feeling i could accomplish before drugs and there it was really nice. since i started vaping and smoking weed. i haven't gotten that feeling back since. it is like i am just more complacent with the noise instead. then i go sober and freak out like ill never feel the same again. I'm getting there though i have quite a few long quits and I've been able to convince myself that even though i feel like i got to always be doing something. i feel like i am more capable of doing those things when I'm sober.
I love that you decided not to listen to "that will ruin your chiropractor reputation" and etc. Your videos/thoughts are gold, and its hard to find people who are so relatable in order to feel less alone in the journey.
Thank you once again for what you do 🤝
I think of sobriety like it is the end zone in football. Every time I decline an offer of an alcoholic beverage , it is like scoring a touchdown. My friends know now that I'm committed to sobriety.
It's a great feeling snd I have lost 20 pounds since a cut beer from my diet.
I’ve been weed free for 3 months now. The mindset aspect of it is the most difficult. Sometimes all I can think about is weed, I get dreams about it. I’m still struggling so much through this process.
I cant live with my addictions( weed, nicotine, porn, binge drinking for decades), it has ruined my life.
So I can live without it.
Yeahhh 🤟🤟🤟
Hiya doc... I'm still clean and sober . It's been over a year now...and you still talk to me directly with your content.... Thank you .
And now we are talking directly in the comments 😎 thanks for sharing and still showing up for the community a year later!
I feel the same way after being clean for a little over a year. I appreciate this channel so much!
I haven't smoked weed or drank alcohol in 9 months and I'm on day 4 without nicotine. Thank you Dr. Frank
💪💪💪❤
Your videos have helped me so much thank you man, I’m attempting to quit weed right now, the boredom is the biggest trigger for me.
To quote: Dr. Frank - - Weed doesn't take your boredom away ....It only makes you content with your boredom .."End quote"
Day 6 of no weed today, your videos are fantastic! Hope you're doing well.
53 days from my last tobacco dip.
Love from India.🇮🇳
I spent my whole summer watching these videos and I can’t thank you enough for giving me the correct Information to apply to my life. I was smoking weed and vaping everyday from the age of 14 and I am now 19. Over 60 days nicotine free and 18 days thc free and I couldn’t have done it without the mindset that was provided to me here.
So, do we get addicted because of problems in life? Yes we do.
Is it possible to quit if you resolve the problem? Absolutely.
BUT what if the reasons you take drugs, is because of medical Heath issues , that can not be cured, fixed, repaired? There is virtually no way someone in my position, could ever quit.
So I would have never quit if I did not feel quitting would have had enhanced my quality of life. That may not be the case for some

I appreciate your insite and continue to tell my friends and family about your channel praying that they too can find strength in overcoming their addictions. You are a blessing!
Thank you for your support on the channel it means so much to this community

@@AddictionMindset this time has been easier with your help. I have quit in the past but struggled with motivation and seeing a happy life. The way you explain everything makes so much sense. Whenever I'm having a difficult time, I listen to your content. I can't thank you enough!
I nearly died last week from CHS. I had to quit my job. I’ve been off since then and feel AMAZING!!! This seems to effect men in larger numbers and as a woman I don’t know it seemed even more dangerous since we usually have less body day, and can’t afford to lose so much liquid! I also realized my bf is my partner for life, he spent a eeek with me at home and in the hospital cleaning my vomit of the floor, feeding me, bathing me, I just wanted to share ❤I would NEVER HAVE STOPPED without your videos bc everyone says I should just “moderate” it’s like TELING A HERION USER TO MODERATE! I’m 100000% ADDICTED!!!!
CHS?
Day 62 today thanks to you, cant wait to see how i am in a year. Its hard with chronic pain but i was just using it as an excuse for my addiction.
This is what it’s all about. You have a valid excuse…. But are you going to let that stop you or hold you back.. heck no
Dr Frank thank you, on day 5 of quitting after 10 years of heavy use.
Initially the weed helped me with my emotions but over time the only thing I felt was numb. It feels like a reawakening and I'm remembering who I am.
I got diagnosed with IBS 2 years ago but now I think it was CHS. Your channel has helped me, thank you again and much gratitude.
Thank you for these videos! gives hope
I’m 16 and started smoking weed in about April and I don’t know what to do when I quit it’s so hard to eat and sleep and my life is just miserable
I’m scared that permanent damage has been done to my brain
@@zanerali9861same here i’m trying to quit before school start because i need to pass a algebra 2 exam to graduate school and i feel like weed is taking away from that and my studies. I need to focus somehow to pass this test to graduate next year.
Been smoking weed everyday (only bongs because I didn't feel much in joints) for more than 17years, I thought weed made me calm and smarter until I my mental health deteriorated. I started getting angrier day by day, irritated by almost anything really and my partner ended up being the punching bag. All I wanted to do was to smoke a bowl or two and when I did it made me realize that I shouldn't have said or done that, I could see how I was rude and all. To finally be at the point when even smoking 4 to 5 bowls didn't made me calm and I just felt the same (stuck in a weird place).
Today I'm 34 days sober and I am clearly more calm and I have started a little vegetable garden at the back of my house, started some side projects but more importantly I could be a better human being to the ones that I love. None of this would have been possible if I was smoking weed all day and I think the most important part is realizing that this is not a way to live and wanting to be better for yourself and everybody else around you.
Having a partner who really understands you and loves you will make this better for sure.
Thanks for sharing everything you do brother, proud of anyone who is fighting to leave all of that behind.
Also you will lose friends when you decide to go sober and this is a good thing. Real friends stick around because you share something meaningful rather than just getting stoned all day.
Its day two , really appreciate your content.
I appreciate that!
@@AddictionMindset I'm really dealing with the loss of appetite and overreacting to stress , snapping at people and my daughter, I never want to touch that crap again , you made me realize that all my anxiety is from my use of cannabis and how i feel now is cause of cannabis, whatever I needed it for in the past I healed it long ago , now i have to heal the addiction . It helps knowing I'm not alone and I'm from Bakersfield CA so full of tough mean spirited people they would laugh at being addicted to marijuana but they either aren't being honest with themselves or haven't experienced it . Either way I'm fighting , smoked since I was 15 daily and now im 38 , have a 3 year old and I've decided I want more for her for us for me , I don't want her to see me addicted to marijuana. Thank you again man , u feel like a brother from another mother .
Day 18
Currently withdrawing from nicotine after 10 years.
Thank you brother! I will see this through. I hope everyone else here stays strong, you got this!
What if you cant be in a relationship? This doesn't help me at all. You are saying a loving relationship is what is keeping you from smoking- basically. Not everyone can have that.
you didn’t watch the whole video
6 months sober because of your help thank you so much keep helping people the world needs you ❤
DAY 4. 20 YEAR SMOKER AND DAILY DABBER.
INTENSE VOMITING LAST NIGHT.
DR FRANK IVE BEEN WATCHING ALL YOUR CHS VIDEOS. THANK YOU
I'm on 9 weeks free from marijuana nicotine and alcohol. Feel amazing 😊
I casted it and now i got sound
Ive been watching your videos a lot recently.
You can see you are much healthier now from, say, a video a year ago.
Good to see you living the life you preach, Doc
Cheers
Love being the greatest of them all, because love comes from God 😛💗
Hi Dr Frank, today's day 60 that's right 2 months cold turkey quit nicotine and weed, I am so grateful for your channel. The first 2 weeks were absolute hell almost jumped off Mt balcony, the next 2 slightly manageable. Still had triggers tho , but this last month went by easy (relatively)Next milestone for me is 90 days , thank you for your wonderful work and the time u have devoted to help us all. Like I said before, doing God's work 🙏 thank you so much
Put away the weed before the weed puts you away.
when you were speaking about gratitude, I kept thinking about how grateful I am for your videos, Dr Frank. Thank you so much
Thanks doc! To all, I love gratitude lists. Seeing what I'm grateful for written down every day. I find new things to be grateful every day. Now just to put it into practice...
Wow im currently in trouble with my man because of alcohol.I’ve decided to quit.I want to go sober 🙏
I have been a very heavy user when I stop I feel like I'm having a mental breakdown how can I overcome this
I know the feeling. This is my own experience and it may be different for you but maybe I can help by sharing my own experience. First I had to get rid of toxic people in my life, including my toxic mother and toxic siblings and toxic friends, whether to detach from them psychologically if I can’t cut them off or cut them off completely, which in my case I had to do this. I made sure to have at least 1 really good friend who I can trust my feelings with. After about 10 months of no contact from these people and actively working on my past childhood traumas that led to complex PTSD in adulthood, I finally felt mentally safe enough to quit. I’m only 13 days in and for sure the mean “voices” aka the inner critic have ramped up their attempts to sabotage my recovery but because I worked hard on healing traumas and practiced a lot of thought stopping and accepting that my family members will never change and it’s not up to me to safe them by being the person they want me to be vs the person I really am, it has become a lot easier to switch them off.
I’ve been a heavy high-functioning cannabis user since high school, had a sobriety stint in my 20’s and 30’s due to accessibility to the drug (not willful sobriety). I was also a near daily user of hard recreational drugs in my 20’s (cocaine, MDMA, speed), and blackout alcohol weekend user. I’m 43 now and cannabis is the hardest one to beat.
13 glorious days of painful withdrawals and fighting the good fight for my right to a life truly worthy of living.
Adding: I was high-functioning even while high, and I am thankful for a good paying consulting career, but I cannot wait to see what I can truly accomplish in sobriety.
Day 4 dr frank , i know you say not to count the days for me i feel im counting more of the severe withdrawal days , and now on day four i woke this morning feeling pretty good no cravings and brain fog almost gone , and appitie is getting better , foods are starting to sound good again, as a cook i miss that too lol . Just played my guitar for about 10 mins felt really good 👍 just want to focus on doing positive actions and focus on what i truly want in life , i feel like i truly can get my drivers license now . Ashamed to admit but yea 38 and no drivers license. Im gonna take the test im thinking in two weeks next pay check lol but also time to prepare sober , ive been practicing but always pretty much under the influence, not stoned out of my mind but as a daily smoker morning to night i felt constantly stoned in a way or constantly numb is the real way to see it . I feel like i can learn now with both parts of my brain not just my subconscious. Again thank you dr frank !
Thank you so much for the video! I really enjoy your encouraging and enlightening attitude! 😊
Ive been smoking weed everyday for almost a decade
I spend around £500 a month on weed because my tolerance is so high but I dont even feel stoned anymore. I could smoke 5 spliffs back to back and feel normal, almost like I had none. But then if I dont I feel angry, sad, overwhelmed and unable to cope.
I’m in a lot of debt and cannot get out of it because I drown out the anxiety around my debt by smoking more weed.
I could’ve been out of debt 5 years ago if I didn’t spend all that money on this.
I have a good job and have always aspired to earn more money… so that I could buy more weed. I earn the most I ever have… but my financial situation is exactly the same as when I was 20 because of my habit.
I am an addict.
I realised this and admitted it to myself over the last week.
I am an addict, I have a sickness.
But my addiction is not me.
I found your channel because I googled that I want to quit smoking weed but I am scared to quit. You posted a video about being scared of success. I feel for my situation it’s more that I am scared of being my true myself. Ive not been an adult without weed. Ive not faced life’s challenges without weed. I dont know if I will be good at it and im scared because weed has always been a constant, a safety net at the end of a bad day.
But im tired
Im poor
I’m sad and my old friend no longer comforts me, it just grips onto me and doesn’t let me go.
As a wiseman sang “Ive got to get sober, Ive got to start living right”
Today is day 1 of saying goodbye to weed and nicotine.
I’m terrified
Ive caught myself trying to talking myself out of quitting already but I know I have to because it feels like the right time.
Any tips, motivation or life lessons are appreciated
The part you don't mention is that, I don't want to be my authentic self. I enjoy the high MORE than being my authentic self. My authentic self sucks.
3 week. Day 18 without smoking. i need help. 4th day of work and every day may brain screams to me of smoking. I dont know what to do. I quit while on holidays thinking it would be harder while working but its getting really difficult. I am losing concentration and sometimes its like i am not even paying attention to the clients. My brain screams to me and i am having bad cravings. I dont know what to do. So i decided to comment just to get it out maybe it will calm me down
Update us how’s it going ?
Love the message, thanks for the reminder to practice gratitude and generosity
I remember one friend told me that what kept he from getting sober was the fact that he didn't now what sober people do. Like we used to smoke before the dinner, before movie etc. What do the sober people do? Well.. they eat and watch movies sober. Sounds silly but can be deep realization.
9 days clean today after amoking weed everyday multiple times a day (dabs to be specific) this doctor helps more people than he knows , absolute gem
Did you get stomach pains? I’m on day 7 today. Little stomach pains till I eat then it goes away. But all other symptoms have calmed down. Just a little restlessness when I wake up and some depression when I’m alone.
Currently withdrawing from nicotine after 28 years smoking. Day 8.
This is my 7th attempt . I will nail this for good.
Quit alcohol 8 years ago. Love my life without it. Self love.
Weed never commenced.
Master mindset. ❤
Day 6 here I feel your attempts been there we can do this
You're like "more on the happier side" im like i am happy ......... i think ahah gosh our minds are something else
Hey Doc , is it possible to go cold turkey
Of course!
NOT ON BENZOS OR ALCOHOL!!
Im 6 days off weed so far, th first 3 days were the hardest for me. I still have cravings 😩 but ive been staying strong 💪
You are truly amazing brother. Thank you for your contribution to humanity.
Made it through day 8 with no weed. I feel so accomplished. Needless to say I came into your videos on day 2 or 3
I'm reading this book I got from the library called The Having by Suh Yoon Lee and Jooyun Hong and I haven't gotten that far in it but I already love it and highly recommend it. It's helping me practice gratitude and stay present even though I'm going through a rough patch rn. In general I recommend reading books through your sobriety process if you're into that like me, it definitely helps. :)
Thank you so much 🙏🏿 I really mean that from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Remember to avoid People places and things!
Thoughts on full spectrum CBD oil?
Perspective change and practicing gratitude. Such a great reminder and I am going to try to practice this. Thank you!
If I’m honest the withdrawals start at 3months the restlessnes and the need to be doing something is overwhelming i don’t like it
This can happen and it’s valid in some cases but what’s the alternative? Back to addiction or keep pushing? One of them has a light at the end of the tunnel
We struggle to fall just as much as we struggle to climb, choose your struggle wisely my friend!
Your a God send mate. Keep up the great work, heaven has a seat with ya name reversed.
You are doing good work brother...God bless!
This is day 1 for me. I Have been addicted to nicotine and weed since I was 16. I am 25 now and have been battling with quitting these vices for the years. Thank you Dr Frank your videos help me a lot and I want this to be the actual start to my sober journey.
I am sober and single.
I’m 18 and I’ve been smoking for about 6 months and I’m starting to get symptoms of CHS I talked to my primary doctor and she agreed I haven’t smoked sense yesterday morning and I’ve just felt constantly nauseous no stomach pain though I’m also constantly hungry and I have other symptoms not even related to chs so I’m going to a gastroenterologist next week do u think this is CHS?
how’ve you been bro?
I'm chillin now, I got prescribed zofran after having constant nausea for about 5 days and its been better ever since havent smoked in almost 2 months now shit kinda sucks tho not being able to smoke ever again but I've gained 15 pounds so far it was definitely CHS.@@jaden0hh
11 days sober from weed. The insomnia is the worst for me right now. It hasn’t gotten better, it only got worse since day 0. Also I’m eating whole foods, exercising, and taking naps when I can.
Hang in there bro took me a good month or so to finally get some solid sleep at nite. Like anything it’s a process
@@ericdobos2227 thanks bro
Wauw, deleting comments. Your perogative I guess. But answers my question loud and clear. Thank you.
🦠it’s hard
Thanks
Hi Dr Frank! ❤thanks for all ur inspiration and help! Day 4 without weed and nicotine 🤗💪🏿
Garlic is amazing. Yet it reeks out of the body, very strong. But it's got amazing properties. ❤
i quit porn video games nicotine alchoal and it was the best thing for me. although I did fall back into the darkness with zyn slightly. not a full addiction and I can handle it better now
I really enjoy these videos and they are helping me tremendously. I’ve struggled with quitting alcohol, weed, and nicotine. I’m able to quit for 1-2 weeks but I always tend to go right back.
I’m going to watch these videos anytime I feel the urge to start again.
I’m currently using nicotine patches and gum. It’s been about 2 months since quitting vaping and smoking. I’ve had two instances where I fell off the wagon, but I’m not going to give up. My wake up call was high blood pressure and my dentist telling me I’m at risk of gum disease.
Thank you for going through with these videos and ignoring the initial haters, I greatly appreciate what you are doing.
You rock!
I have really, really enjoyed your prospective. You articulate what most of us are going through, have gone through, or are about to go through.
These items were what was truly missing in my sobriety journey.
Until I was able to shift into that loving space without the self deprecation / guilt / disappointment
Hey Doc, thanks for your videos. Today I am 2 days clean from weed. Over a couple days, I weened myself off after about 8 years of fairly consistent daily use. I'm feeling pretty okay about myself, but have been feeling some withdraw effects. Work and staying busy with yard and house work is helping me get my mind off it. You're helping a lot of people out here. Thanks again.
I c this because since I split from my children and there mom, all I do is smoke drink an eat constantly, can't focus on anything at all

Brother thank you for this video and thank you for not giving in to those haters telling you to stop early on. These videos have definitely helped me a ton
13 days cannabis, 9 days food addiction, 6 days alcohol, 1 day nicotine.
Wow I needed this video even if its what we know intuitively I needed this. ❤️
I’m one month sober today and I’m so grateful to you and God
Congralations brother.
You’ve brought up great points doc. I have been struggling over the past year to finally stop smoking weed. I did it last year for about 2 months, until I was facing homelessness as a single young mom w a toddler.. during those 2 months, I got to realize that my addiction lead to my current situation and me allowing certain things and people in my life. I’m 24 years old, and still in a tough situation but I’m praying 10 years from now, my life be completely different. I’m on my 4th day THC free today and concentrating on not using alcohol as a new substitute
@overlordfemto7523 why does that concern you?
Does that mean Dr. Frank shouldn’t be posting his child and his happy family?

What if my authentic self loves cigarettes, weed, energy drinks and adult media content sometimes all at the same time and doesn't want to stop?
Im the happiest ive ever been smoke everyday damm ig this isn't real who would have thought
Love you, man. I read the easy way years ago and failed…and have been struggling since with cigarettes and weed. Didn’t find it easy and beat myself up for it. Decades of addiction, 3 of em. Feeling broke and unhealthy now…and I was running 30-40 miles a week just a few years ago.
Appreciate you and this channel, thank you. Not giving up on myself.
I am making a video for you about the easy way this week it will be my next video please stay tuned.
@@AddictionMindset looking forward to it, thanks doc.
this dude is either gay or canadian i can’t figure out which one
