@@totezmagoatz way better . I am 40 days sober now . There was like one or two times I thought of smoking again but then I would remember how my anxiety was and that has helped me not relapse . I would smoke every chance that I was alone or drove somewhere where I can get some alone time . I really recommend changing your diet to more healthy foods and drinking plenty of water . Keep your head up guys and don’t let your mind play games w you .
@@miguelmendez7027 I am so glad to hear you are doing much better, I am on day 34 and actually really enjoying sobriety for the first time I'm my life. You rock man, keep it up❤🤟😎
I am on day 6 now and it feels crippling. The anxiety is overwhelming, strong emotions, trouble sleeping etc. How long did it take you to feel “normal”?
I’m so glad I’m FINALLY done with weed. I’m 34 years old now, and I started when I was 16. At first, it was just casual smoking. Then it became daily. Then it became all day every day. When they came out with cartridges and legalized it, it completely took over my life. People say weed isn’t addictive and that’s a LIE. I was a paranoid, anxiety riddled mess. I finally quit when I became pregnant, and that was a blessing. My husband and I moved to another state. Months after my son was born, I visited my old friends in my old state. I bought a bunch of disposable vape pens. I made a terrible choice. I thought that I could just use them casually (that was me telling a lie to myself), but I immediately went back to wake-and-bake, all-day-every-day. I felt immense guilt for not being fully present and mindful as a new mom to my baby. I’m glad to say I’m REALLY done with weed now and forever! That was several months ago. I’m never going back. Some people can just have a beer or two, and that’s all. Some people will start drinking, and they can’t stop. They just keep drinking and drinking and drinking until they pass out. That’s me with weed. I have a full blown addition, and I can’t stop once I start. I want a sober life for myself and to be the best parent that I can be.
Im the same way. I thought I could go back to just smoking a little at night, but then it turned into all day every day. Some of us can't just do a little, has to be all or nothing.
8 month update: I meant what I said and I’ve kept to my promise to myself as a mom. I haven’t had a single puff. I’m now expecting baby #2 and I LOVE that weed is not a part of my life at all. We moved to yet another state (my husband’s job moves us a lot) where weed is legal and I’m not even tempted. I pray that everyone who is struggling with it will find the strength and support to rid it from their lives-forever, FOR REAL.
On day 3 of not smoking after smoking for about 8 years. The anxiety is worst In morning for me. Watching videos like this and seeing I’m not the only one who feels like they are going crazy has helped me out. Can’t wait to start feeling back to normal every day gets me a little closer. Good luck to anyone else dealing with anxiety I truly believe it will get better
I’ve been addicted to weed for 9 years (I’m 23 and began smoking daily at 14) your videos have helped so much, I’m now 2 weeks sober from weed AND nicotine. Thankyou. I think you’ve found your calling in life.
Been smoking daily for about four years now. Had a panic attack today after smoking and decided that I've had enough. I've decided that I'm gonna start on the road to recovery and take my life back. Thank you, I was feeling very sad and hopeless before watching this video but now I'm feeling confident that, though it might be difficult, getting sober and staying sober is what I want and so it's what I'm gonna pursue.
Hey bro, I’m on day 2-3 and my anxiety is thru the roof where I can’t even go to work, I have heart palpitations and have taken two trips to the ER because of panic attacks and weed withdrawal. I just wanted to see where you at now
@@nicoeskew1220def been there bro I’ve called 911 on myself a couple times bc I thought I was having a heart attack. The emts have told me that having a heart attack at my ages (20s) is extremely uncommon. So next time it happens just try to keep in mind it’s gonna pass and ur good.
Day 2 of quitting. Experiencing bad headaches, nausea, melancholy, & insomnia. 15 years chronic weed user. I want to remember how it feels to be me without any substances. So this journey is to get to know myself better and become the better version I know I can become. Good luck to everyone, I hope your sobriety journey brings you joy and inner peace.
Update : day 15. I feel great, have been sleeping so well! I’m so happy the initial withdrawal symptoms are gone! I should be coasting it from here on out
@@18552122 it’s day 26 and haven’t felt better. Definitely wasn’t easy in the first 10days plus going through a break up from an 8 year relationship. I wanted to smoke soo badly. But I withheld to detox from weed and my relationship. I have stayed very busy which has helped plenty. I write in my journal how I feel. Sounds corny but it’s helped me remind myself of the why. The feeling of not falling for temptation is empowering and I finally feel like I have control of my life.
@@AddictionMindset hello I smoked THC-O heavily for around 3 weeks. Once I stopped I had insomnia,anxiety,panic attacks,depression, digestive issues, and I’m currently at day 16 to 17 since I stopped but still get anxiety. Is it normal? Could I have withdrawals from THC-O from just three weeks of heavy use?
36 been an all day smoker since hs. The past months I been dealing the debilitating anxiety sick to my stomach can't eat shaking sweating just all day everyday. Never before in my life have u dealt with anxiety. I cut caffeienie completely. Now I'm gnna try quitting weed. Something has to give. Prayers pls
I've been smoking for 32 years. Started when I was 12. Time to let go of this denial. My mind is so confused, I lose my train of thought daily. Can't wait to see what sobriety looks like!
Thanks brother, smoked for 15 years and last 5 have been HEAVY concentrates. Im on day 6, and I am so excited to be done with this torture. I wouldnt wish this type of anxiety on my worst enemy. I have absolutely no interest in smoking again and couldnt imagine going thru this multiple times. WEED NOWADAYS IS TOO STRONG.
Just hit one month sober. Crazy that I don’t even really think about weed or nic anymore. Thanks though! Your vids helped to change my life for the better for sure.
I am on day seven and your videos are the one of the only things that are keeping me going. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I never thought that I would have the strength to do this
I’m almost three weeks sober and I felt like I was at the worst point of my life due to the anxiety until this video. This gives me drive to fight through the pain until it truly does get better.
@@totezmagoatz day 6 and I’m waking up with my heart racing with constant negative thoughts, my anxiety gets better throughout the day but I don’t want it at all lol. How was your experience?
3 weeks today after 9 years of constant smoking. Feeling very proud underneath all the symptoms Thank you for your videos - I watched on day 1 and still watching today 😊
Fantastic job you’re doing there! I’m at my month anniversary from an almost 30 YEAR habit! Strange enough, it hasn’t been bad for me at all. I’ve started dreaming again and I’m really getting off on doing so. I have no desire to go back. Your videos and -weirdly enough - the comment section has been like going to group therapy. There’s actually kind and compassionate people in the comment section! Who da thunk it? Thanks again!
I know this is an “old” comment on an “old” video but, of course, it’s still very relevant. What’s funny is I too was caught off guard by how many kind and REAL people are in comment sections like these. It’s refreshing, to say the least. Regardless of where weed stands in your life, I hope you’re happy and your effort to kick a THIRTY YEAR habit is inspiring. Thank you.
Day 9 here, Im so grateful your channel! There's very little support out there for weed addiction & recovery and your videos are helpful and relatable :)
The first couple days I had a very bad panic attack, then I had depersonalization for about 4 days, then about 12 days later I had another panic attack out of nowhere and had depersonalization for about a week, and the week just ended today. I just had a panic attack about 30 minutes ago. so far almost 3 weeks sober from black market carts, and after this last panic attack I didn’t have depersonalization after it. Even thought I’m still having anxiety and panic problems, it’s getting better. And watching these videos and other videos of people who have been through weed withdrawals helps me to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 2 weeks ago I thought I was going crazy, but now I feel almost normal.
As of yesterday I stopped smoking for the same reason, any time I'd smoke my heart would pound out my chest, I'm 30 sum hours without weed after smoking like a chimney for years locked up in my house. THIS FUCKIN ANXIETY, it's the worst feeling having this ugly feeling in my chest. It's 4 am rn an struggling to get sum sleep cause while I know it's just gunna make the anxiety worse. Is there any tips to make it feel like my heart isn't gunna jus give out?
Don’t get me wrong, coming off of weed does suck, but I pray you never have to go through opiate withdrawal. That shit makes this look like a stroll in the park
Day 10 and it is getting easier. I went and got Lions Mane to help with concentration. I never thought it would get easier. Just like Dr. Frank I thought it " relaxed me" and helped organize my thoughts and nope total garbage. I feel like a kid again and I am making so much more progress in my job hunt. It will be ok keep going,
These videos help so much to continue the journey to not quit but be smoke free! I knew it was causing me health issues and still smoked. I even had triple bypass surgery at 31 years old and the only answer my Dr had was my 20 year daily addiction to smoking. I still went back to smoking a fee years later. I finally decided life was more than being high and now 2 weeks and feeling like I'll never go back thanks to your videos!!
thank you. i have been 2 days since my last puff (20 years every day) and this is my 5th (maybe) time quitting. this is for real tho. i am experiencing gut wrenching guilt and anxiety. if i hear a kids voice i want to cry, because i wish i was a kid again. i am telling myself this is just the drug. its a struggle, but i cannot do this again. thank you for being a lighthouse in a bleak landscape.
Bro you’ll have to understand this one main thing that you don’t have to do it again ever and only that is the way you can really stay away from it and not crave it. Addictions have to be dealt with like that my friend. By the way if ever relapse happens, don’t panic. You know you can quit as you’ve done it already so it’s like you kinda have the key. So get back to sobriety again. Don’t think this way that I relapsed by smoking once now I’ve broken my streak so now I’ll do it again. No. Relapse once is fine but your aim is sobriety.
Hi, I’m from the UK and it’s been five days since I last took a joint, these past couple of days were horrible, I was angry, then anger became sadness, it was like I was going through the 5 stages of grief, day 5 I still feel like someone drilled a hole in my head, but oddly I know within a few days it will be easier, to the people who want to quit, you got it, I believe in you wonderful people.
I’m on day 3 of no smoking after smoking all day everyday for 2 years been waking up feeling a lot of anxiety but it fades slightly as I get on with my day and sometimes comes back before bed I didn’t really want to quit weed but I feel as though it’s something I have to do for myself I’ve never dealt with anxiety before so it’s scary for sure just another reminder that none of you are alone and we’re going through this together we will make it out and things will get better be patient and try to stay calm thank you to this man for making this video
OMG. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. Smoked for 10 years. One day randomly started getting panic attacks. Decided to quit. Now on day 3 sober I feel a lump in my throat and can’t sleep.
Stay strong take it one day at a time the symptoms will subside Be proud of yourself im on day 7 finding it super hard to sleep or eat 😖im always second guessing my decision to make this change as it became a lifestyle but we both know smoking weed daily is not getting us anywhere the gains will be in our positive change 🫂 Anything in excess needs to go moderation is mandatory from my buzz to my vice is a disappointing reality. We will get through this and rise above it. Wishing you all the best and know you are not alone 😊
yup i have been smoking daily since i was a freshman in hs. all of the sudden started getting panic attacks. i have felt sad knowing i need to quit, because the memories and feeling like I'm losing something or i might not like me sober. but i know i don't want panic attacks and it's for the best in the long run..
You have helped me so much on my journey. I'm 9 days in and so proud of myself. Surprised of what mky brain is capable of and has totally eliminated my social anxiety. I no longer want to argue with coworkers. I'm MUCH more stable le emotionally and I actually enjoy my interactions with people now instead of constantly overthinking every social interaction I would ever have.
@@lostinachase hey! I’m doing better. Anxiety is a part of life sadly so it’s something that I deal with with everyday! I’m not past two months and feeling a lot better. Hope you’re doing well and keep strong!
Hey! I'm doing fine and better. I don't get tempted these days but anxiety just hits me everyday. I guess it's something normal until you hit 3 months of sobriety. I just keep myself busy. Stay strong mate! Together we can 🤟
@@lostinachase I wouldn’t put a timeline on feeling better. Everyday is a battle and I just take it one day at time. I get cravings now and then when I get bored but keeping busy and purpose is key. Keep on keeping on brotha
Today is the day it is April 28 and I woke up at 7 AM and threw my pretty much empty vape THC pen away in the garbage. Your videos are very helpful even though I’m just at the very stages of starting but I know I can do this because I was able to give up every other drug. This is just the last crutch.
1year now of quitting both the anxiety, chest pain are not easy till now feeling nausea, I can't really concentrate and serious headech both with your video this days and God by my side I think I will overcome it, is not really easy both I will be fine soon I believe so❤❤🎉🎉 and for everyone out dey suffering the same thing, God will give you the strength not to go back to smoking, nicotine etc
Wow you have literally just explained the predicament I’m in. I started smoking at 14 I’m now 18 and have been smoking weed consistently all day everyday for 2 years and ever since I have had anxious feelings and felt as if I had forgot how to socialise and didn’t know what to say to people it was almost as if I just couldn’t speak to people without sounding like an idiot. I always thought it was the weed causing this as I have never felt anxious prior to smoking weed. This has fully changed my perspective and I’m going to try get through this glad I found your channel!
I honestly can not explain how much of a help you’ve been. I started using weed at the beginning of quarantine to help with my boredom and it slowly became a problem and over the past year it has recently just started causing depression and anxiety. Which btw I rarely ever had anxiety so I knew it was becoming a problem and I had to stop. So I stopped 3 and half days ago and I’m going through withdrawal symptoms. I have really bad anxiety which is my main problem. But I know it will get better with time. I just wanted to say thank you. Have a blessed day 🙏🏼
Hey I hope you are doing good. It's been over a month now, I don't have cravings for weed anymore. The worst part is the anxiety. But together we can 🤟
Man, im so glad i found this thread... i am a really heavy user for about three years, I'm on day three, and the anxiety attacks are so bad right now. I get up from my bed at night, covered in sweat and pace around the room. I took one hit off my pen to try ease my straight suffering. It did not help at all.. if you're at this point.. please, please be strong dont give up! You got this❤
I'm on Day 3 (Aug 16th, 2021). I haven't made it this far since May 2020 when I was able to make it to day 16. But there were the protests / riots that started a week into my sobriety, stores were closed, cops everywhere, helicopters constantly circling over my neighborhood (I live in L.A.)... along with the pandemic just benign it's 3rd month at that time, it was too much for me to take and I relapsed. It doesn't help that there are roughly 10 dispensaries within a 1 mile radius from me. This time I'm better prepared thanks to your videos. I was miserable on day 1 and I was really on edge & angry yesterday (day 2) due to lack of sleep the night before. Being able to recognize this and this time accept that I won't feel "normal" for at least a month, it will lessen my chances of relapse. Last year, aside from external stressors, I also relapsed because I started thinking "I'm not feeling that much better and not as productive as I was hoping so maybe weed is not the problem..." This time I know better.
your experience is eerily identical to mine even down to starting at the same age. thank you for these videos, they have been extremely helpful and motivating!
I resonate with EVERYTHING you are saying sir. Been listening to you off and on for the last 6 months. But your testimony is amazing to hear that MJ really can take control of your life if you continue to let it. What rang true to me most was when you said you felt anxirty surrounding the fact that you "couldn't" quit and this fact made you feel even MORE anxious and frozen in your cycle. And the shame, guilt, self-loathing etc. Oh yes. Too too true and sad. It's a neat plant, but I can't do it anymore. I have way too much life to live. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story. Really makes me feel less crazy
Another good tip that is helping me on my journey quitting smoking is finding a good book. It helps focus your mind and gives you a new craving for finding out what will happen in the story. I read and have audiobooks that are really making a difference
I'm on day 2 of quitting weed and nicotine after 20+years of daily smoking! I've already cried twice and shouted at my kids yesterday I'm feeling completely erratic. I'm trying so hard to focus on my why but this really does feel almost impossible! Very concerned that I may fail on the 48-72hr peak but all I can do is think of the kids and stay determined! I'm trying to keep busy I have loads to do but I have no motivation to do any of it, I just want to smoke. SO glad I found you to keep me going. Thank you so much!
@@bee_conscious you think their better but their worst it’s all bad in my opinion just ate some and it’s hell I’m telling you we can only pray to god we are cured.
Day 2. Went cold turkey yesterday, 4/22/23 getting off of weed oil cartridges and nicotine vape. I was a heavy abuser for about 4 years now. Used to go through 1gm oil every 2 days and a nicotine vape cart every week. Everything that you have mentioned is true about how it impacts your life. I think for myself the years of lack of REM sleep is caught up to me. Thank you for reminding me that it is our responsibility to take back our lives. Good luck everyone. Will pray for y'all. Maybe if this goes well I can use the money I saved to work more closely in recovery with addiction mindset.
Good for you! I already ruined today, so I’m starting again tomorrow. I really want this! I said a prayer for you. I hope you are doing good on your journey :)
I'm on my 4th day of sobriety. I feel good and empowered and want to shed happy tears quite a few times a day. This channel was a great help. Thank you for your valuable work.
Your page is a blessing , such a relatable guy thank you. On day 5 I’m doing it to get my family back my wife never liked me smoking so the fate of my marriage depends on me getting sober. She giving me tuff love but I know it’s because she knows I’m better then this and unfortunately I only learn the hard way
oh man, i love just listening to this when falling asleep. Speaking my life after moving to a legal state😣. I have never been depressed nor antisocial before.
@@alexthebeastxx the carts gave me headaches so i stopped but im smoking flower now but that caused me to start smoking cigs so not great but ill live by the mantra you "only live once"
I'm 6 weeks clean . . I have anxiety attacks so bad that it stops me in my tracks , and I have urinated on myself ( it is truly embarrassing 😢) I am in the hospital again ( for the third time) the last time I was in the hospital 22 days I was for sure that it would be the last time. I can't wait until it passes for good......😢 . I'm going to try these steps I am desperate for some relief....❤️
I deeply appreciate your videos. I live in Colorado and weed is a big part of the culture here, so it’s been hard to find support in stopping. Today is July 31st, 2023 and I’ve gone all morning since I woke up without smoking. This is huge for me, as I’m a “wake and bake” kind of person. I want to take this seriously, as I’ve wasted ten years doing nothing. Your videos have been extremely helpful and inspiring, thank you for everything you do. I literally cried when you said “take it seriously” thank you brother ❤️
Very informative and good structured video 👍🏽 You are helping me a lot I'm on day 4 I'm struggling a lot with anxiety, panic attacks and imsomnia.. It is creeping me out a lot cause I conciously do not have cravings anymore. I always think of dying but luckily my spiritual strenght gives me relief😅😌
Im on the same boat here, im on my 1 month 1 week sober. I don’t have the urge or cravings to smoke at all after a 15 year addiction, however i do have very bad anxiety & Panic attacks. I dont want to feel like this anymore & dying is not an option for me. After how long did the panic attacks go away? I am so scared every day its really messing with my life activities. Please respond when you can. Thanks
The idea of the high performance planar is amazing. I think all my anxiety has to deal with gaps i have between work and not knowing what to do then. Thanks Doctor
Im 3 weeks sober my first 2 weeks i felt great i felt like it was gonna be easy staying sober. On my third week anxiety and depression hit me hard im having panick attacks very often my mental health is a train wreck. I actually feel like im gonna go crazy ive started to look for physiatrist therapy. Who ever is going through this stay strong and continue your fight ro sobriety. Ive smoke weed and drink alcohol and Cocaine for 12 yrs straight heavy consumption. What im going through right now i never want to do any type of drug.
May 27th was the last time I smoked weed. I am very serious about quitting for the sake of my own wellbeing mentally and physically as well I want to be the best version of myself that I can be for my daughter and her mother and my friends and family. I have been experiencing really bad anxiety and depression this last week with a couple of panic attacks. I refuse to give in to my addictions and fears. Thank you for the advice, and whoever is reading this I believe in you and your healing journey.
@@sandrarebeka250 doing quite well thank you, a lot has happened since last year and I'm alone. But, I've changed my environment, turned my life around and i'm closer with friends and family. I am happy even though I still smoke on and off, I try to balance it.
You are making an impact with these videos! Weed is an attractive thing to do for young people and once you start it can grab a hold of you. I smoked for a couple of years and man it has taken its toll on my mental health. Words cannot express how your videos are the light I need to quit Thankyou!!!!
Thanks for your help man. I was wrong dissingyou when I was high. now i feel like smoking again due to family issues but I been clean for 3 days and this video is helping me stay away from my joint in the drawer.
i think this video helped me the most, thank you for sharing. i felt i related to your experiences greatly and when it clicked that weed was the cause of anxiety it became much easier to stop
Thanks Doc you make quitting a little easier on day seven finally got off the gummies haven't smoked in 2 weeks withdrawals are getting easier to handle
This video is 100% accurate to what I am currently experiencing... it's like you are describing my life at the moment. I am currently at 2 weeks and 1 day. This video has been a real eye opener and has lead me to so much more of your videos. I can't thank you enough.
I’m on day 10, still having the lump in my throat, still sleeping in because I feel like I’m dreaming very vividly but still not sleeping. Anxiety and Racing thoughts like psychosis has faded more and more but I still feel the little anxious buddy in the pit of my chest. I start back at work tomorrow. I haven’t had urges to smoke because I know about CHS, and I know a doctor at the ER had said I had it before, so I stopped and started again. This time I just don’t want to feel like shit anymore. I hope in another week my mental and physical are somewhat back to normal, because I’m tired of feeling bummy. Day 10 today, 11 tomorrow, and hopefully better
We are on the same day.. day 11 sober.. I smoked wax dabs atleast 7 times a day for 10 years.. I lost 10 pounds in 10days but things are looking up bro you can do it
@@gueroloche7610 it wasn’t ever bad when I just smoked tree, but unluckily I got my hands on concentrates and carts from trulieve whenever I wanted, and it came all back, the CHS. You got this fam, keep pushing. I have lost 15lbs in the last two weeks. It’s all mental at first and when it fades the physical fucks with the mental. KEEP GOING
@@dannehcocoa3445 yeah we do family! You just keep that mindset, don’t turn to other medications or substances, keep it a bucks with yourself, nobody but you understands what’s going on with you. Let your body heal, and don’t take this suffering for granted, when it’s done, you will probably feel 100% better and be glad you had to go through hard to get to the better.
Thank you! I'm on day 1....again...I too experience CHS, mostly the prodrome symptoms thankfully. Thanks for your content, it's helping me feel stronger about making it thru the hard first 10 days
On day one here...been tapering for a few days (actually tried to quit for those days 2 yet gave in some). My mind feels like utter crap. My body feels pretty similar. So I am looking at this like IF I JUST SIT with this pain, I can gain some wisdom/self control. I have seen some of your video's before, yet NOW I am sitting down and going through the entire playlist!
thank you so much for this amazing video, on day 4 and it feels like a sinking pit. These videos have helped tremendously, hard life today for an easy life tomorrow. We will get through this!
On my 8th day sober after aggressively smoking for years this I feel crazy man 😵💫 but I’m getting there brother literally everything you said in the beginning you was going thru is word by word me thank you for helping me not feel like I’m the only one
have just the same symptoms! my anxiety the first years was gone after smoking but now after 16 years daily smoking i wake up light up and i am anxious...! i was always a person that would be outside speaking with people having good relationships but the last 4-5 years i have made home my own 'prison'.. in my mind i know i have to quit it but really cant even with help from profecional psychiatrists! wish some day we all find the mental strength we need!
On day 7 of cutting back and tonight will be my last session. I have so much anxiety and a lot of other emotions. I've been crying a lot the last few days. I've also been having issues with overheating, sweats, tremors, head and body aches, insomnia, nausea, and today a major lack of appetite. I have intake for a recovery program tomorrow. 🎉
First day over here excited, but nervous, got a panick attack last night that made me wanna quite it was the worst experience in my life felt like my brain was being tortured
A panic attack made me quit too. My Heartrate was 146 at rest. How are you doing now? I'm 3 weeks in and still having some anxiety and lightheadedness.😢
This channel is awesome and makes me so grateful for technology. When I was high and online I was so paranoid and would go into rabbit holes making my anxiety so horrible. Had an episode of psychosis and now I’m never going back to weed. So so so grateful I’m educated before it’s too late.

How are you feeling now?
@@totezmagoatz way better . I am 40 days sober now . There was like one or two times I thought of smoking again but then I would remember how my anxiety was and that has helped me not relapse . I would smoke every chance that I was alone or drove somewhere where I can get some alone time . I really recommend changing your diet to more healthy foods and drinking plenty of water .

@@miguelmendez7027 I am so glad to hear you are doing much better, I am on day 34 and actually really enjoying sobriety for the first time I'm my life. You rock man, keep it up❤🤟😎
I am on day 6 now and it feels crippling. The anxiety is overwhelming, strong emotions, trouble sleeping etc. How long did it take you to feel “normal”?
Did u relapse lad? If not how's life sober
Bro you brought up panic attacks and I almost started crying. Talk about relating
Stop crying like a baby wah wah 😫

That’s me with weed. I have a full blown addition, and I can’t stop once I start. I want a sober life for myself and to be the best parent that I can be.
I turned 34 last week and I wanna quit too
Yeah you gotta keep smoking to deal with the come downs of it and they reckon it has no bad side effects lol
Im the same way. I thought I could go back to just smoking a little at night, but then it turned into all day every day. Some of us can't just do a little, has to be all or nothing.
People who say its not addictive either do not use it heavily or have not tried to quit yet.
8 month update: I meant what I said and I’ve kept to my promise to myself as a mom. I haven’t had a single puff. I’m now expecting baby #2 and I LOVE that weed is not a part of my life at all. We moved to yet another state (my husband’s job moves us a lot) where weed is legal and I’m not even tempted. I pray that everyone who is struggling with it will find the strength and support to rid it from their lives-forever, FOR REAL.
On day 3 of not smoking after smoking for about 8 years. The anxiety is worst In morning for me. Watching videos like this and seeing I’m not the only one who feels like they are going crazy has helped me out. Can’t wait to start feeling back to normal every day gets me a little closer. Good luck to anyone else dealing with anxiety I truly believe it will get better
keep it up! I am on day 3 too. 20 years high all the time. step by step we will do this. my goal is 90 days clean and then decide if its permanent
I’ve been addicted to weed for 9 years (I’m 23 and began smoking daily at 14) your videos have helped so much, I’m now 2 weeks sober from weed AND nicotine. Thankyou. I think you’ve found your calling in life.
I'm in a similar position, I noticed this comment is over a year old, how are you now?
@@Shade878hey i’m also in a similar situation, i feel a lot of comfort knowing there’s people that started smoking as young as i did.
@@RandomFriendlyGuyYouEnjoyI've smoked since I was in middle school amd I'm 33
Been smoking daily for about four years now. Had a panic attack today after smoking and decided that I've had enough. I've decided that I'm gonna start on the road to recovery and take my life back. Thank you, I was feeling very sad and hopeless before watching this video but now I'm feeling confident that, though it might be difficult, getting sober and staying sober is what I want and so it's what I'm gonna pursue.
Hey bro, I’m on day 2-3 and my anxiety is thru the roof where I can’t even go to work, I have heart palpitations and have taken two trips to the ER because of panic attacks and weed withdrawal. I just wanted to see where you at now
@@nicoeskew1220def been there bro I’ve called 911 on myself a couple times bc I thought I was having a heart attack. The emts have told me that having a heart attack at my ages (20s) is extremely uncommon. So next time it happens just try to keep in mind it’s gonna pass and ur good.

2 months without weed . .I still have irregular heart rate.

@@RajKumarThapa-dq8mtdid you get better?
Day 2 of quitting. Experiencing bad headaches, nausea, melancholy, & insomnia. 15 years chronic weed user. I want to remember how it feels to be me without any substances. So this journey is to get to know myself better and become the better version I know I can become. Good luck to everyone, I hope your sobriety journey brings you joy and inner peace.
Update : day 15. I feel great, have been sleeping so well! I’m so happy the initial withdrawal symptoms are gone! I should be coasting it from here on out
Please tell me more I’m having a lot of difficulties
@@18552122 it’s day 26 and haven’t felt better. Definitely wasn’t easy in the first 10days plus going through a break up from an 8 year relationship. I wanted to smoke soo badly. But I withheld to detox from weed and my relationship. I have stayed very busy which has helped plenty. I write in my journal how I feel. Sounds corny but it’s helped me remind myself of the why. The feeling of not falling for temptation is empowering and I finally feel like I have control of my life.
I honestly thought I needed weed to sleep but as soon as I stopped I just realized I need patience and a completely dark room
I'm on day 31, and these videos give me strength and keep me focused
So happy to have you here!
@@AddictionMindset hello I smoked THC-O heavily for around 3 weeks. Once I stopped I had insomnia,anxiety,panic attacks,depression, digestive issues, and I’m currently at day 16 to 17 since I stopped but still get anxiety. Is it normal?

Thanks brother, smoked for 15 years and last 5 have been HEAVY concentrates.
Im on day 6, and I am so excited to be done with this torture. I wouldnt wish this type of anxiety on my worst enemy.
I have absolutely no interest in smoking again and couldnt imagine going thru this multiple times.
WEED NOWADAYS IS TOO STRONG.
Just hit one month sober. Crazy that I don’t even really think about weed or nic anymore. Thanks though! Your vids helped to change my
life for the better for sure.
What happened
I am on day seven and your videos are the one of the only things that are keeping me going. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I never thought that I would have the strength to do this
You one 10000%% can do this. Once you realize you are capable of this you will realize how many other things you can do.
Just an update for you guys! I am 16 days strong! I feel happier and I can sleep better! It is possible!

Been a year...still sober?
I’m almost three weeks sober and I felt like I was at the worst point of my life due to the anxiety until this video. This gives me drive to fight through the pain until it truly does get better.
How are you feeling now?
Sense I've quit weed my anxiety is drastically lower and when it does come up im able to handle it alot better and quicker
Exactly, because your cognitive thinking has drastically improved.
Absolutely necessary thing to deal with life’s tough situations.
Day 11 here, almost by the 2 week mark. The anxiety is starting to fade and have a much sense of clarity.
Is the clarity not a great thing!
Big congrats on that big landmark day 2 weeks
howre you feeling now? When did the anxiety subside for you? Day 11 and I am finding small amounts of relief

Was trying to get inspiration. That is all !
Fantastic job you’re doing there! I’m at my month anniversary from an almost 30 YEAR habit! Strange enough, it hasn’t been bad for me at all. I’ve started dreaming again and I’m really getting off on doing so. I have no desire to go back. Your videos and -weirdly enough - the comment section has been like going to group therapy. There’s actually kind and compassionate people in the comment section! Who da thunk it? Thanks again!
Your message is inspiring , I'm nearly a 30year abuser too and decided to give it up and dare to Dream again.
I know this is an “old” comment on an “old” video but, of course, it’s still very relevant.
What’s funny is I too was caught off guard by how many kind and REAL people are in comment sections like these.
It’s refreshing, to say the least.
Regardless of where weed stands in your life, I hope you’re happy and your effort to kick a THIRTY YEAR habit is inspiring. Thank you.
I’m on day 4 and going through the process but your videos are very inspiring to keep me on my sobriety thank you !
Day 9 here, Im so grateful your channel! There's very little support out there for weed addiction & recovery and your videos are helpful and relatable :)
You’ve helped us understand what our family members are going through; we’re very grateful! God bless.
So happy I could be of a help to you and your family! Thats what this channel is all about!
18 days sober had a panic attack yesterday but were definitely getting better
20k 100k 1 million. Biggest advocate for quitting addictive behaviors on social media. So excited for you and your business
The first couple days I had a very bad panic attack, then I had depersonalization for about 4 days, then about 12 days later I had another panic attack out of nowhere and had depersonalization for about a week, and the week just ended today. I just had a panic attack about 30 minutes ago. so far almost 3 weeks sober from black market carts, and after this last panic attack I didn’t have depersonalization after it. Even thought I’m still having anxiety and panic problems, it’s getting better. And watching these videos and other videos of people who have been through weed withdrawals helps me to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 2 weeks ago I thought I was going crazy, but now I feel almost normal.
As of yesterday I stopped smoking for the same reason, any time I'd smoke my heart would pound out my chest, I'm 30 sum hours without weed after smoking like a chimney for years locked up in my house. THIS FUCKIN ANXIETY, it's the worst feeling having this ugly feeling in my chest. It's 4 am rn an struggling to get sum sleep cause while I know it's just gunna make the anxiety worse. Is there any tips to make it feel like my heart isn't gunna jus give out?
Hows it going now?
@@jacobsingh7765 updates?
@@jacobsingh7765how are you doing now?
Don’t get me wrong, coming off of weed does suck, but I pray you never have to go through opiate withdrawal. That shit makes this look like a stroll in the park
Day 10 and it is getting easier. I went and got Lions Mane to help with concentration. I never thought it would get easier. Just like Dr. Frank I thought it " relaxed me" and helped organize my thoughts and nope total garbage. I feel like a kid again and I am making so much more progress in my job hunt. It will be ok keep going,
Any updates did u quit then
These videos help so much to continue the journey to not quit but be smoke free! I knew it was causing me health issues and still smoked. I even had triple bypass surgery at 31 years old and the only answer my Dr had was my 20 year daily addiction to smoking. I still went back to smoking a fee years later. I finally decided life was more than being high and now 2 weeks and feeling like I'll never go back thanks to your videos!!
Praying you are still going strong on your recovery!
thank you. i have been 2 days since my last puff (20 years every day) and this is my 5th (maybe) time quitting. this is for real tho. i am experiencing gut wrenching guilt and anxiety. if i hear a kids voice i want to cry, because i wish i was a kid again. i am telling myself this is just the drug. its a struggle, but i cannot do this again. thank you for being a lighthouse in a bleak landscape.
@Christian McMullin howre you doing now?
how are you feeling now?
Bro you’ll have to understand this one main thing that you don’t have to do it again ever and only that is the way you can really stay away from it and not crave it.
Addictions have to be dealt with like that my friend.
By the way if ever relapse happens, don’t panic. You know you can quit as you’ve done it already so it’s like you kinda have the key. So get back to sobriety again. Don’t think this way that I relapsed by smoking once now I’ve broken my streak so now I’ll do it again. No.
Relapse once is fine but your aim is sobriety.
Anytime I get the urge to get high I just watch one of your videos instead. They always calm me down and keep me focused on my goals. Thank you
Hi, I’m from the UK and it’s been five days since I last took a joint, these past couple of days were horrible, I was angry, then anger became sadness, it was like I was going through the 5 stages of grief, day 5 I still feel like someone drilled a hole in my head, but oddly I know within a few days it will be easier, to the people who want to quit, you got it, I believe in you wonderful people.
I’m on day 3 of no smoking after smoking all day everyday for 2 years been waking up feeling a lot of anxiety but it fades slightly as I get on with my day and sometimes comes back before bed I didn’t really want to quit weed but I feel as though it’s something I have to do for myself I’ve never dealt with anxiety before so it’s scary for sure just another reminder that none of you are alone and we’re going through this together we will make it out and things will get better be patient and try to stay calm thank you to this man for making this video
OMG. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. Smoked for 10 years. One day randomly started getting panic attacks. Decided to quit. Now on day 3 sober I feel a lump in my throat and can’t sleep.
Stay strong take it one day at a time the symptoms will subside Be proud of yourself im on day 7 finding it super hard to sleep or eat 😖im always second guessing my decision to make this change as it became a lifestyle but we both know smoking weed daily is not getting us anywhere the gains will be in our positive change 🫂 Anything in excess needs to go moderation is mandatory from my buzz to my vice is a disappointing reality. We will get through this and rise above it. Wishing you all the best and know you are not alone 😊
yup i have been smoking daily since i was a freshman in hs. all of the sudden started getting panic attacks. i have felt sad knowing i need to quit, because the memories and feeling like I'm losing something or i might not like me sober. but i know i don't want panic attacks and it's for the best in the long run..
Watching these videos is the biggest helps seeing everyone’s comments etc. good feeling to know you aren’t alone
You have helped me so much on my journey. I'm 9 days in and so proud of myself. Surprised of what mky brain is capable of and has totally eliminated my social anxiety. I no longer want to argue with coworkers. I'm MUCH more stable le emotionally and I actually enjoy my interactions with people now instead of constantly overthinking every social interaction I would ever have.
Wow, this is my story exactly. Thank you so much for sharing these videos. 2 weeks sober come Friday.
Day 25. Still feel irritable, bouts of anxiety/depression and insane dreams. Your videos are amazing and helped me through the process
It's been more than a month for me and I feel the same. I hope you are doing fine Andrew?
@@lostinachase hey! I’m doing better. Anxiety is a part of life sadly so it’s something that I deal with with everyday! I’m not past two months and feeling a lot better. Hope you’re doing well and keep strong!
Hey! I'm doing fine and better. I don't get tempted these days but anxiety just hits me everyday. I guess it's something normal until you hit 3 months of sobriety. I just keep myself busy. Stay strong mate! Together we can 🤟
@@lostinachase I wouldn’t put a timeline on feeling better. Everyday is a battle and I just take it one day at time. I get cravings now and then when I get bored but keeping busy and purpose is key. Keep on keeping on brotha
Anxiety is lot less than what I used to feel before but it still triggers sometimes, esp when I'm hungry haha. I wish you a speedy recovery 🙂
Amazing video, truely amazing. You’ve encapsulated a full journey in 14 mins.
This should be watched by everyone
August 20 2021 is my new beginning no more relapsing for me! I smoked my last blunt august 19 2021 I’m ready to be FREE
August 27
Today is the day I'm going to take my first step towards my marijuana addiction. I started 11 years ago and have been an addict for 9 years.
Today is the day it is April 28 and I woke up at 7 AM and threw my pretty much empty vape THC pen away in the garbage. Your videos are very helpful even though I’m just at the very stages of starting but I know I can do this because I was able to give up every other drug. This is just the last crutch.
1year now of quitting both the anxiety, chest pain are not easy till now feeling nausea, I can't really concentrate and serious headech both with your video this days and God by my side I think I will overcome it, is not really easy both I will be fine soon I believe so❤❤🎉🎉 and for everyone out dey suffering the same thing, God will give you the strength not to go back to smoking, nicotine etc
Wow you have literally just explained the predicament I’m in. I started smoking at 14 I’m now 18 and have been smoking weed consistently all day everyday for 2 years and ever since I have had anxious feelings and felt as if I had forgot how to socialise and didn’t know what to say to people it was almost as if I just couldn’t speak to people without sounding like an idiot. I always thought it was the weed causing this as I have never felt anxious prior to smoking weed. This has fully changed my perspective and I’m going to try get through this glad I found your channel!
Hows it going?
Its My 2nd day of quitting!!! watching this channel really helps guys!! ✌️💯
I honestly can not explain how much of a help you’ve been. I started using weed at the beginning of quarantine to help with my boredom and it slowly became a problem and over the past year it has recently just started causing depression and anxiety. Which btw I rarely ever had anxiety so I knew it was becoming a problem and I had to stop. So I stopped 3 and half days ago and I’m going through withdrawal symptoms. I have really bad anxiety which is my main problem. But I know it will get better with time. I just wanted to say thank you. Have a blessed day 🙏🏼
Hey I hope you are doing good. It's been over a month now, I don't have cravings for weed anymore. The worst part is the anxiety. But together we can 🤟
Same here. Smoked all day all the time
How are you feeling now
How’s your progress so far
Man, im so glad i found this thread... i am a really heavy user for about three years, I'm on day three, and the anxiety attacks are so bad right now. I get up from my bed at night, covered in sweat and pace around the room. I took one hit off my pen to try ease my straight suffering. It did not help at all.. if you're at this point.. please, please be strong dont give up! You got this❤
I'm on Day 3 (Aug 16th, 2021). I haven't made it this far since May 2020 when I was able to make it to day 16. But there were the protests / riots that started a week into my sobriety, stores were closed, cops everywhere, helicopters constantly circling over my neighborhood (I live in L.A.)... along with the pandemic just benign it's 3rd month at that time, it was too much for me to take and I relapsed. It doesn't help that there are roughly 10 dispensaries within a 1 mile radius from me. This time I'm better prepared thanks to your videos. I was miserable on day 1 and I was really on edge & angry yesterday (day 2) due to lack of sleep the night before. Being able to recognize this and this time accept that I won't feel "normal" for at least a month, it will lessen my chances of relapse. Last year, aside from external stressors, I also relapsed because I started thinking "I'm not feeling that much better and not as productive as I was hoping so maybe weed is not the problem..." This time I know better.
Love love love everything about this comment! I am so happy to have you here on your journey as part of the addictionmindset family!!!
Everything he described is totally me all the way, I’m on day 4 quitting.
your experience is eerily identical to mine even down to starting at the same age. thank you for these videos, they have been extremely helpful and motivating!
I resonate with EVERYTHING you are saying sir. Been listening to you off and on for the last 6 months. But your testimony is amazing to hear that MJ really can take control of your life if you continue to let it. What rang true to me most was when you said you felt anxirty surrounding the fact that you "couldn't" quit and this fact made you feel even MORE anxious and frozen in your cycle. And the shame, guilt, self-loathing etc. Oh yes. Too too true and sad. It's a neat plant, but I can't do it anymore. I have way too much life to live. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story. Really makes me feel less crazy
Another good tip that is helping me on my journey quitting smoking is finding a good book. It helps focus your mind and gives you a new craving for finding out what will happen in the story. I read and have audiobooks that are really making a difference
Day 24 for me. I've been leaving daily updates on your different videos. Thanks so much.
I'm on day 2 of quitting weed and nicotine after 20+years of daily smoking! I've already cried twice and shouted at my kids yesterday I'm feeling completely erratic. I'm trying so hard to focus on my why but this really does feel almost impossible! Very concerned that I may fail on the 48-72hr peak but all I can do is think of the kids and stay determined! I'm trying to keep busy I have loads to do but I have no motivation to do any of it, I just want to smoke. SO glad I found you to keep me going. Thank you so much!
Have you quit smoking !!
I quit for 7 weeks then caved from boredom 🫤 still really want to quit smoking and just stick to edibles, hopefully this year I will conquer it!
@ edibles are worst they leave you dehydrated etc
Definitely better than smoking, personal choice also 🤷🏼♀️
@@bee_conscious you think their better but their worst it’s all bad in my opinion just ate some and it’s hell I’m telling you we can only pray to god we are cured.
Day 2. Went cold turkey yesterday, 4/22/23 getting off of weed oil cartridges and nicotine vape. I was a heavy abuser for about 4 years now. Used to go through 1gm oil every 2 days and a nicotine vape cart every week. Everything that you have mentioned is true about how it impacts your life. I think for myself the years of lack of REM sleep is caught up to me. Thank you for reminding me that it is our responsibility to take back our lives. Good luck everyone. Will pray for y'all. Maybe if this goes well I can use the money I saved to work more closely in recovery with addiction mindset.

This video is 100% accurate to what I am currently experiencing... it's like you are describing my life at the moment. I am currently at 2 weeks and 1 day. This video has been a real eye opener and has lead me to so much more of your videos. I can't thank you enough.
I’m on day 10, still having the lump in my throat, still sleeping in because I feel like I’m dreaming very vividly but still not sleeping. Anxiety and Racing thoughts like psychosis has faded more and more but I still feel the little anxious buddy in the pit of my chest. I start back at work tomorrow. I haven’t had urges to smoke because I know about CHS, and I know a doctor at the ER had said I had it before, so I stopped and started again. This time I just don’t want to feel like shit anymore. I hope in another week my mental and physical are somewhat back to normal, because I’m tired of feeling bummy. Day 10 today, 11 tomorrow, and hopefully better

You got this fam, keep pushing. I have lost 15lbs in the last two weeks. It’s all mental at first and when it fades the physical fucks with the mental. KEEP GOING
@@dannehcocoa3445 yeah we do family! You just keep that mindset, don’t turn to other medications or substances, keep it a bucks with yourself, nobody but you understands what’s going on with you. Let your body heal, and don’t take this suffering for granted, when it’s done, you will probably feel 100% better and be glad you had to go through hard to get to the better.
@@valdeen9632 Did you take hot showers to soothe your pain during chs?
Thankyou so much for making these videos. You’re purpose is so appreciated and valued.
Thank you! I'm on day 1....again...I too experience CHS, mostly the prodrome symptoms thankfully. Thanks for your content, it's helping me feel stronger about making it thru the hard first 10 days
Hope you keep finding courage to try again the next day 💪
For me my anxiety got much better since staying sober. I had panic attacks every night while high for 1/2 months
On day one here...been tapering for a few days (actually tried to quit for those days 2 yet gave in some). My mind feels like utter crap. My body feels pretty similar. So I am looking at this like IF I JUST SIT with this pain, I can gain some wisdom/self control. I have seen some of your video's before, yet NOW I am sitting down and going through the entire playlist!
Day 14 and caught covid along with withdrawing. My dreams are nuts and sweating for 8 days. I'm going to do this and stop using a crutch to get by.
Absolutely huge advice is stay busy! Your body has no chance to get anxious when you are moving!
i’m 21 i’ve been smoking heavy since i was 17 i really want to quit the nauseous feeling in the morning, the anxiety i’m over it
thank you so much for this amazing video, on day 4 and it feels like a sinking pit. These videos have helped tremendously, hard life today for an easy life tomorrow. We will get through this!
Day 4, heavy anxiety but your videos help so much!
@@trevordillon2381 how are you now?
this stuff needs to be more well known
On my 8th day sober after aggressively smoking for years this I feel crazy man 😵💫 but I’m getting there brother literally everything you said in the beginning you was going thru is word by word me thank you for helping me not feel like I’m the only one
have just the same symptoms! my anxiety the first years was gone after smoking but now after 16 years daily smoking i wake up light up and i am anxious...! i was always a person that would be outside speaking with people having good relationships but the last 4-5 years i have made home my own 'prison'.. in my mind i know i have to quit it but really cant even with help from profecional psychiatrists! wish some day we all find the mental strength we need!
Amazing video! I just decided to quit and this video literally read my mind on how I feel and the reason why I thought quitting would be best!
Great video! So helpful. I don't feel so alone going through this. Thank you!
Day 6, and I'm happier than I've been in a long long time. The catalyst was moving out of my parents house.
Thanks Dr Frank!!, you helped me a lot with quitting nicotine I just completed 2 weeks idk how to thank you enough 🙏🏼 keep going with the videos!!
Thank you for sharing your success on here and supporting the channel!! It means so much to me to have you as part of the community!
@F Lopez sorry to hear that! Thank wish you the best .
@F Lopez you should let me know why always curios
On day 7 of cutting back and tonight will be my last session. I have so much anxiety and a lot of other emotions. I've been crying a lot the last few days. I've also been having issues with overheating, sweats, tremors, head and body aches, insomnia, nausea, and today a major lack of appetite. I have intake for a recovery program tomorrow. 🎉
First day over here excited, but nervous, got a panick attack last night that made me wanna quite it was the worst experience in my life felt like my brain was being tortured
A panic attack made me quit too. My Heartrate was 146 at rest. How are you doing now? I'm 3 weeks in and still having some anxiety and lightheadedness.😢
@@lisabutler6163 how are you now ? im on day 6 of withdrawal symptoms
10 days sober Frank!! Keep up the great videos!!!
Heck yes!! How are you doing/ holding up on day 10?
I’ve been vomiting of lately I’m on my fourth day I’ve only consumed two things of Ramen over that time. Thank God I’ve been able to keep it down
This channel is awesome and makes me so grateful for technology. When I was high and online I was so paranoid and would go into rabbit holes making my anxiety so horrible. Had an episode of psychosis and now I’m never going back to weed. So so so grateful I’m educated before it’s too late.
And I am super glad to have you here as part of our community! Thanks for sharing this because it lets others know they are not alone
How are you now?
April 15 at 5:56am I’m officially quitting weed cold turkey ☝️7 year long addiction no more!
whoever sees this, best of luck to you and me
im on day 8 and the urges are getting more and more controllable. thank you so much
