We should stop eating sugar's. Also an addction. Worse then Cocaine. But what do I know. Good Day.
Once the PTSD and its effects are gone giving up is no problem.
Same as for alcoholism.
I'd really want to stop
@@ShiAnn-wi4ydjust stop it’s only slight withdrawals for a few days.
I started smoking 18 years ago as a teenage, Got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of Dr.benfungi. Did straight shrooms in few days. Left me like a blank slate after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. Shit saved my life, all thanks to Dr.benfungi
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the
morning after. So no hangovers. No
depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now
have a more calm mind
How do i reach out to him? Is he on Instagram
It's amazing how long 2 days feels when you're trying to quit smoking but 2 months can pass in a blink when you're stoned 24/7 and barely leave bed.
A couple days ago I dropped to a very low dose before heading home to try and detox
Feels like my brain is tearing in two. Your comment was so spot on though
Big facts!!
So true
How are things now?
@@CRIORGTV to be open, when Covid hit all my positive outlets were gone and I caved in. Like clockwork I fell back into the daily smoking routine and months later here I am disappointed in myself, again. I smoked the last bit I had today and tomorrow is Day 1 at another attempt. I should watch this video daily.
" My whole life was about avoiding the way I was feeling". What every substance user knows well. Powerful talk.
Not me, I have alexythemia so have difficulty accessing emotions (I’m either happy, super happy or suicidal) and would never smoke weed when I was going through a difficult time but finally after more than 40 years of smoking I got a diagnosis of severe adhd, got on the meds and I was able to stop smoking and the medication, along with specific yoga asanas is helping me to access my feelings ❤️ I agree, powerful talk 👍🏽 I’m struggling with not smoking it as it was my biggest daily habit for most of my life but I know it’s gonna get better
It’s the hardest part about quitting I think - feeling your true emotions, it’s so terrifying when you’re no longer used to it
Well shit even when i was 5 i felt like i had to
Exact same with me
Yup, that was me too, going on my third week clean, still have rough days but it's getting easier, first week was a living hell, never want to go through it again
I watched this video 3 years ago. I was a heavy smoker. Quitting was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I turned to food as confort, gained about 20kg. Started therapy. But you know what? I can proudly say I’m 2 years sober! If you’re struggling, trust me: IT’S WORTH IT! All the emotions will come like a motherfucking train. But you need to feel them. Trust the process. You can do this!!!!
Congrats! I'm at 3 months and the emotions have come and are now gone. I'm thinking about trying to moderate after another 3 months but I know that it's not easy. I was off it for 4 years and started slow a couple years ago and wound up back at everyday. So I'm watching this again...
@@d_chatz8353 In my opinion, moderation does help in the process of quitting, but I don’t think it’s a long term solution for people that get addicted, you know? But you should definetely keep looking for what best suits your experience with it 😃
Congrats and thanks for the personal lesson bro! Looking forward to feeling again.
If only they had explained - PTSD (child abuse probably) requires pain relief until it can be fixed. Some cases can't be fixed. Cannabis is MEDICINE.
@@d_chatz8353 Why didn't you say 'emotions' "from child abuse" ?
You are %100 correct weed is a mask and I’m ready to take that mask off and deal with my problems sober
Ian Wildon you might want to look at yourself in the mirror.
Ian Wildon just saying bro. Your attacking someone for wanting to better themselves.
Ian Wildon well if his friends are a bunch of pot heads and he wants to live a clean and sober life then good on him.
I'm just quitting around a second time. I quit before and had a job in a factory, but it was also that same job that kind of got me back into the mood of smoking again. I don't mean to sound like an idiotic headcase, but working for that company and seeing some fellow co-workers killed in two work related accidents kind of had a bottled up effect on me. I'll admit, Mary Jane can help for some us, but we all got to move on.
Fucking hear u bro keep at it this shit is for life now but I know it will be better
My high school self would have laughed at everything you said.
Now today at 24 years old, I can relate to everything you’ve said. Thank you.
same. at least we are somewhat young. we got this.
@@ChunkyCheeseBurglar just turned 20 and feeling this dude, ready to better myself!
Regret Rays we can do it!
@@CASHINS123ABC I hope you do, because if you have these same feelings years from now you will really regret what addiction has done. Love you rays
Only 17 and relate completely on day 2 going to 3 we can do it
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
@@michealharris3221Is he on instagram?
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Does dr.sporess ship?
Dr.spores is the best, he's been my supplier for anything psychedelics.
“Marijuana dims the human spirit over time” that one hit me hard because it’s so true. When I first started smoking it was such a fun adventure every time. Everything felt enhanced because of it. Fast forward 15 years later and I was smoking because it was simply apart of me. I wasn’t having fun anymore, I was smoking just to get “normal” instead of high. I had become lazy and unmotivated and did nothing. This video really gets the issues with being a chronic smoker. Being sober feels great and it’s right.
📌📌📌
On point
Thats true ! I used to laugh out loud on the very first hit i would take
Literally described me to a T. I hope your still doing great
@@andrewdeCROWN187 I hope they are too but apart of me feels like they’re still using & maybe even heavier than before😢. there are sad truths & honesty in addiction that addicts tend to avoid. You jus gotta be real w/ yourself & not jus have these random temporary “moments” of encouragement to do better. it requires a base structure of discipline w/o rewards at the end but bettering yourself which unfortunately a lot of addicts lack due to the fact that it isn’t an immediate… speaking from experience.
*obsessed with the future and obsessed with the past but I have no sense of presence*
Use cannabis and meditation to find the present. That's all that is truly real. I can help if you need
you should quit weed or find help. the present is reality
Same
I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking.
I AM.
He paused.
I waited.
He continued.
When you regret the past it is hard.
I am not there.
When you fear the future it is hard.
I am not there.
When you live in the present it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM.
Lol this isn't an exclusive club Go Crazy.
I was a daily stoner for 26 years. I'm on day 385 of being completely sober. Quitting was extremely difficult but I worked through it and I'll never go back.
I’m proud how is it going?
@@how2makethings... let’s gooo congratulations I’m on my way to sober living !
I also wanna quit but I find it super damn difficult can’t sleep and my legs feel super tired
@@blinddiecast I can’t sleep either I’m about to relapse 😭
@@blinddiecast the urges last about 2 weeks. Get beyond those days and you've done it. FIGHT ONE DAY AT A TIME
"Marijuana dims the human spirit over time." Great Line said.
It actually defiles the spirit
100%
bhai timle gaje nakhau
This line really stuck out to me. Im never smoking weed again
It is a long term lockdown.
Tommy, I turn 47 in 3 weeks. I've been a DAILY smoker since 20 yrs old. I stumbled onto this video after watching several about CHS. This is my first recovery video I've ever watched. THANK YOU BROTHER. You give me hope. DAY 1, here we go!
How's it going now, my brother?
curious lol
I can beat that. I was stoned out 24/7 from the age of 17 to 53. Now I'm 59 and have had six years of sobriety. I would highly recommend would you stoners who are still blasting away listen carefully to this man.

I’m 3 days in. I’ve been smoking weed since I was 13 and I’m now in my mid 30’s. It HAS dimmed my spirit. I don’t want it anymore. Thank you for this. It literally brought me to tears.
Bro are you still clean? Im still smoking....
How are you?
@@kissamikissami3951 I'm going to get some smoke right now😎
Still sober and feeling great!!!!! I’ve been able to write music again after years of a “writers block” I’m a better father with more money in my pocket. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t wanna smoke. But TODAY I’m sober. I won’t think about tomorrow until.....tomorrow. Much love to you all ✌️
@@darthbrolo How are you going? I would really like to chat with you, My name is lorraine and Im in Australia, Why did I pick on you?........Because your timing is close to what I have suddenly finding myself wanting to do, but NOT looking forward to not having a happy button, I recently gave up long term use of antidepressants, 2 yrs now, and still no happy button, Gave up drinking 17 yrs ago, and was okay as i had little children then to keep me constantly busy,...... Now children are going to find their own lives, (I managed to raise my children without addiction problems, thank God) and finding myself so so lonely, no partner ever, Single mum, So I was wondering if you or anyone who reads this may want to converse about subject, God bless either way Kind regards Lorraine xx
There's a me that wants to quit. There's another me that does not.
"My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

@@startover125 PTSD residuals can last a lifetime. I smoke like a chimney. Still. And I'm 50+ years into recovery. My anger doesn't control me.
That 22 day streak breaker really, really spoke to me. I went exactly 22 days as well, and then the thought came in “congratulations on not smoking for 3 weeks! I think I’ll celebrate not smoking weed, by smoking weed” I’m literally addicted and it’s time to stop.
I'll celebrate not smoking weed by smoking weed" 😂 true story
Last time I smoked was last week on this day

It’s so hard to quit when I’ve been smoking for 5 years
Struggle is real 😮
im 59 and smoking for 40 years I want to quit more now then ever... praying every day .....I want to quit so bad and become more spiritual.....pray for me
Don Marley you can do this trust me you can
Ok, I am 60 years old and smoked since I was 15 and usually only quit when I needed to test for a job. Other than that, I have smoked heavily everyday. It made me tired, irritable, unmotivated, and lazy. I am 40 days clean and went through withdrawals of insomnia and mood swings. I noticed this week, I wasn't cursing out other drivers on the road and falling asleep and staying asleep. I intend to quit forever because I realize I can't be a social smoker, but will always be a heavy smoker, if I smoke. My boyfriend still smokes but doesn't buy. A friend gave him an 8th of an ounce and he was nice enough to smoke outside, although I am not tempted to smoke at all/ Last week he left a full bowl of it out, perhaps by accident and I wasn't the least bit tempted. I remember how drained I felt smoking it. You can do it and I will pray for you!
Find ur self a community.. Prayers for U
i have quit for 4 months now ( smoked since 12-28 ) I am becoming myself again, and i realise it's a beautiful place to be. I just enjoy being still and quiet without those racing bad thoughts that i became from weed smoking for years on end. Also feel really close with god and my higher natural self, and enjoying practicing stillness and meditation and spiritual practice. I really do encourage you to quit, it will be the best decision you make Don
Don't quit if your real last name is Marley.
Day 3 guys pray for me plz im dyiiiinggg....
@@GanjaaaBoy yes tom yes
+Tom Falconburg true
Life’s too short smoke and get in the high world.
Don't give up ever when it gets hard that means your succeeding don't give into temptations it's the Satan fucking with you
How you guys going i start from when i wake up. First time stopping never had a tolernce break. Wish me luck.
Thank you so much for this. 3 days without smoking I'm really determined to quit, I believe in myself.
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues like addiction..i would love to try magic mushrooms but they are hard to source!
I live in Michigan….suffering for awhile now but didnt realize how serious I may have it until recently - probably bc of @self medicating” with alcohol and weed
I just finished weaning off all these terrible psych meds that made me crazy and worse.It’s hard for me to imagine that, but watching all these studies has given me hope.
@@allybee342 I've been having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of work stress..not until I met Myco_louiis.. he really helped me
mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life..I became a better version of myself.
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and a bunch of bad thought/behaviour pattern were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands alot..it gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip. The main reason for the trip was my severe Depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed, now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
As myco_louiis
I started smoking daily when I was 12 years old I am coming up on being 28 years old now, I have revolved my life around getting high, weed culture, my job up until today was growing cannabis, I've traveled near and far with marijuana in mind, hustled, you name it. I woke up to a life that is nothing like I would of or should of wanted, I never started a family, never went to college, never had long term relationships or friendships and to some degree my usage and lifestyle was to blame. Today I decided I quit working in the medical marijuana industry I quit smoking I quit the rat race hustle. I want to know what it is like to have a solid year of no drugs or alcohol something I haven't experienced in over 15 years Today is Day 1.
@UserNr93 So far really good I am still not smoking or hustling and stand firm on leaving the job I had even with their repeated attempts to bring me back, I am very happy and quite surprised how clear minded and fast my mind is now. Looking into college courses and planning my future. Today is Day 10.
@@slickback301 hows it going man?? you still sober?
Yeah yeah... How is life going?? Still sober????

Took a course to get my BLS certification, Summer courses for my MLT degree in the works, Really happy still I still have people approach me in public looking for things but I just tell them I walked away from that life I get weird looks I am happy with my choice
Whenever I feel like smoking, I throw this on. He's got a warm loving friendly vibe
This is what an enlightened individual looks like. Beaming of positivity :)
keep on keeping on shark dude
Perfectly said. Very personable vibes.
I started smoking when I was 19. Now I'm 26 (although there were periods when I stopped or smoked less). Smoking pot damaged my relationship to a breaking point. It makes you detached from your usual uplifting self, and when you're down, you pull everyone around you down with you. Today is day 34. Haven't smoked or drank anything. Just being me, as nature meant me to be.
How you doing now bro
Are u alive??? It’s been a few yrs buddy wy@?
@@aquaflow1264 plot twist , he is busy smoking

Lol yet bet you drink right?
So why r u on this shit if that long clean forget about why u quit man go live
weed is literally less addictive than coffee oml
@@CloudDayLight people are pathetic and get addicted to anything then blame it on the thing....
its true when he says weed wont kill you instantly you can go your whole life smoking it and it wont kill you but you will be living a half life. My mother used to always say it was killing me slowly.
jamie the plant is not to blame, many doctors and ppl in important jobs use pot and still have their priorities straight
@Geovany Franco The problem is when you're addicted, when you wake n bake every day for years, if this is you, then you'll see one day how much it has held you back. It took losing my relationship to realise that I was an addict, and while marijuana is not to blame, it is the catalyst. Bless you Geovany
@Geovany Franco it is amazing what marijuana can do for certain illnesses, Parkinson's and seizures for example. Theres a lot of videos showing that it works, however I was using marijuana to cure BOREDOM. Wow, what an illness that is. What Hussein is saying is not all b.s. He is trying to share his testimony and help others who are in deep. I wish you wouldn't be so quick to get angry, because you do not need to defend marijuana, everyone here has likely enjoyed it. The problem is addiction and dependence, its a psychological issue that is very real and can happen with weed. The sedative effects became a big issue for me because I wasnt truly myself, I lived reality through a foggy lense for so long that I regretted not being present in this short life with the people I love
@Geovany Franco Everything in moderation I always say. I've just hit 22 and I've realized that my habit of smoking copious amount of weed has made lost all my friends, relationships, my connections to the music industry. I was/am an ambitious person, I can only hope I haven't missed that many life-changing opportunities.
@Hussain Ali lol weed doesn't damage brain matter that's a myth and completely false and only triggers psychosis in people predisposed to it. Research before you speak before you say dumb shit like this
Putting emotions to the side and not actually healing yourself or facing your problems *key* to how an addition starts
Last smoked pot in June this year. Been smoking it on and off for decades. It was this video that helped me see the light and I can guarantee to anyone who is thinking about stopping, it’s the best thing I have ever done and my life has improved so much since stopping. I wish you all luck and blessings on your own journeys.
The likes I get is the days I wont smoke weed no more
Gotta start somewere
Smoke crack
Good luck buddy
just added another day. u got this
Good luck brodie
I disliked, does that mean you can smoke today?
This brought me to tears...I've lost myself, and I no longer know who I am after smoking so much for so long. Your words really opened my eyes, thank you
i know bro, wish yow lwck
@Peter Banjoo gooooood man!!!
@Peter Banjoo dude I have that chest pain also when I am doing cardio, and I don't think personally that it's from the lungs, but from the heart. Also I visited a doctor and they told me that my blood pressure is a bit higher than usual, so those 2 might link. See if this fits you as well
update?
Peter Banjoo Hows it going so far? I’m on day 2 and I can’t go to sleep so watching RUclips for inspo!
I stopped smoking weed for over 3 months now after 11 years of daily smoke and dependency... I remember watching this video 6-8month before quitting, never felt any better and this video really helped me... coming back here as it came to my suggestions feeling very happy and proud that I managed! thank you!
This video really helped me. I've been a daily user for over 30 years and I've made every excuse under the sun not to quit smoking weed. Finally with some good counselling and just a paradigm shift, I stopped on Dec 6th to take a week off. I'm on Day 27 and I never want to go back. The withdrawal was tough but nothing I couldn't handle and thankfully I already do yoga daily for 3.5 years, I haven't missed a day. I found Tommy's Recovery 2.0 Yoga videos extremely helpful and if I can quit weed, anyone can. I was the worst pothead I knew and I will just let you know some of the benefits of quitting. I can think clearly again, I can visit friends and family and just enjoy their company. I can go to the beach or for a walk or anything and I feel happier than I ever have. Take baby steps and try one week at a time, and then just keep going. Thank you Tommy Rosen and the community for all you do to help the addictions... and I agree with the "Just Breathe" parts and if you need to, you can take a fake toke and hold it in for a few seconds till you kick the habit. Especially for the younger people, don't wait till your almost 50 to quit, your life is way to beautiful and you can create some dreams and goals and get after it!!!💜With all of my love and light, xo Nicole
how was your timeline on sleep? I find that its the only difficult aspect and the worst part is this constant "i did irreversible dmg to my brain" feeling and its upsetting
i really hope i can sleep again lol

Did u quit?
WildBillJP yes i did multiple times but I did just start going to a therapist to cope with it.
The Life Of Hebah lol @ “yes multiple times”. Sorry, I’m a jerk. How does a therapist help? That sounds even more expensive than a weed habit
WildBillJP actually it’s free with my college. I really hope it works
The most honest speech on cannabis addiction. Can relate to this so much.
Man, I work with hard headed teenagers who think they know everything about weed, your video is one of the only ways I’ve been able to get them to at least consider the possibility of not smoking 24/7. Every time we get a new group of kids I make sure they see this at some point during their stay. Thank you.
I used to be one of them
Thank you so much sir
I've been struggling, on and off for years now, I deffinetly like life better without it, but cant seem to stay off it.
Like myself before them they've been brainwashed into their beliefs regarding weed. I've a 32 year trail of destruction and failure behind me as evidence. Sure some folk can smoke a little doobie now and then recreational and live full lives. I can't, one toke and I'll be smoking an ounce a week again. I avoided having children to smoke weed. I fear its going to be a lonely old age. Guess I deserve it.
Once the PTSD is gone (including residuals) you no longer need The Medicine.
I watched your video when I was just struggling to do a month break and needed some motivation on RUclips. Because of you and how accurate you are on the relationship with marijuana I extended my month break and am now 8 months sober with no plan on ever going back. Thank you for this video and to anyone thinking about stopping you can.
Bradley S thank you so much for this comment. You really made my day. Happy New Year and continued blessings to you. -Tommy
Started when I was 14 I’m 19 now and idk how I’m gonna tell my kids but damn.. this made it a lot easier to quit only a week in so far but this is very motivating u had the same experience I did very well put in every way. Especially the fact that at one point in my life when I was younger it did actually help me but it lingered for way longer then it should have because of social media and the people I had around me 💯 u saved me
How did you stop for good, Bradley S?
That’s reassuring thanks
I am on Day 19. I have never felt so amazing. He speaks the truth y'all
cosmickittyxx oh man!!! Congratulations. This is epic! Keep going.
Day 44, and never going back. So much love for you Tommy
cosmickittyxx Wow I needed to see your comment.. Seriously, thank you.
67 days today friend.
Checking back in. Yesterday made 3 weeks! Cut cigarettes cold turkey the same day!
Today is my first day without in nearly 7 years. 15-23 I’ve been abusing marijuana. Your words have given me understanding and hope. I suffer from anxiety, and weed has been making it so much worse. Today I feel clear, a few hours in I feel amazing, yet fearful. I know this will be hard, I know I’ll lie to myself about needing it. Thanks for the strength.
Keep er goin bud! I am sober is a great app to track your sober days. You can also communicate with marijuana addicts and help one another out🤙🏻Praying for you man!

Sending you & your husband immense love and healing
My ex was a weed addict and he chose weed over me 😢 still heartbroken
My spouse is addicted to weed as well. Plus alcohol. He's done both since pos 9 years old. He's 42 now. Still heavily smoking every single day. Caught a DUI Thanksgiving wknd, but still drinking aa well. Just not as much and not in my presence. I pray for him all the time. However, I've been planning to leave. It's proven very difficult for me and the kids to compete with his addictions. I've completely emotionally detached and am so exhausted.
I been struggling with quitting but can’t seem to shake it but this day one for me please pray fa me I don’t want to go drugs anymore
ik im late asl but i hope u doin well big homie❣️‼️
Praying for you brother! I’m on the same journey! Hope your doing ok 👍🏼
Praying for you, stay strong!
It's been 7 months since you commented, may Dhanvantari grant you good health and wellness
@Bill opuko yea
“Guess what was waiting for me: me” this is powerful. I smoked for years to cover up all my anger, sadness and issues I’ve experienced. Now it’s smacking me hard in the face and it’s hard.
It's like a gun to the head! Fuck me I've never felt as bad as the week post quitting. Even breaking my back in multiple places didn't touch it. Weed is great when not abused. I abused...... I fucked it. New chapter ;-)
Did you experience suicidal thoughts?
@@SuperThisishowwedo I did the first week it was unreal. It gets better trust me.
I’m getting sober and healthier today now,
I been smoking for almost 4years after divorce and just helped me on my journey in a dark depression but today I fell tired 😓 and tired of being tired 😴
I have all my dreams waiting on me I had been very lonely and broken 😑 today I get out of my shadows my dark room and will embrace the pain and the joy of freedom,
I Will update
Stay strong man. Im on my day 4. I can already feel things started to get better.
Hope you're doing somewhat better 2 months on :)
This is probably the only video on the internet that actually touched something in my heart. I don’t think I can ignore the call to let go. 9 years of complete emotional abandonment on myself. And this video showed me that. Thank you. Probably changed my life ❤
Wow. Chills. Thank you for sharing. How's the recovery journey going? We'd love to continue to support you. Check out our free meetings at www.r20.com/meetings, and our new course launch Life Beyond Cannabis www.r20.com/lifebeyondcannabis
I’m 22 years old, weed has controlled my life for over 4 years and I’m ready to take a stand
My man.
Do it now man cause before you know it you'll 30 and think damn what happend
Are you still holding up with the smoking? I start today.
How you doing?
I found a great path to healing. His name is Jesus. Jesus took all of my pain, all of my suffering, trials and tribulations on Himself on the Cross. Jesus is the only one who died for the punishment of our sins and rose from dead to reveal His power over life and death. Because of Jesus, I am a new being. I don't need alcohol, marijuana or any other drug to push aside life's challenges. Jesus carries me through this life each and every day. And the most beautiful part of believing in Jesus is that someday after I die, I will join Jesus in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places and Jesus has prepared a place for those who believe in Him. I challenge you today to put your faith and trust in Jesus. He is more than able to heal you and make you a new being. Pray this simple prayer and ask Jesus to enter your life: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending your Son, the Lord Jesus to die on the Cross for my sins. I know I am a sinner. I know I have broken your laws. Today, I want to believe and receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and follow Him only. Father, I pray for your healing and your protection over my life and those around me. I want to believe and receive Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. In His precious and Holy Name I pray. Amen! Let me know how you are doing.
Have not smoked marijuana since 2014. I will NOT preach or talk down to people who still smoke...that is your choice. I can only speak for myself...quitting marijuana and all drug use was the best decision I have ever made in my life.
@Umar Munir 10 yr stoner i probably pay more taxes than u make in a year
JS 09 I understand your desire for peer reviewed research but the fact this video has over a quarter of a million views should tell you MANY people do have a problem with marijuana. You don't need research to tell you that. Weed can be an incredibly beneficial medicine, but it can also be very destructive.
@JS 09 if you think the world is F'd up WITH religion....just imagine how F'd up the world will be WITHOUT religion!
I cannot imagine what it's going to be like when there are no more believers in the world.
Food & drink for thought.
JS 09 mind your own business, I’ve been smoking weed heavily since I was 12 years old and am now coming into 22 years old. 10 years of heavy marijuana usage crippled my brain development during my adolescence. There is actual research of the amygdala being crippled and shrunken in addition to my frontal lobe being under active. I used marijuana as an escapism for myself, but started developing paranoia as there is actual research that it can set off schizophrenia of you are predisposed to it. Do not invalidate someone else’s problems. I was suicidal and anxious as well, I still am. Marijuana no longer serves me anymore because I have no coping skills other than getting high.
@@darcelwhit7852 spirituality yes, some sex deprived odd ball in a black suit no thanks
This hit so deep. I’m so frustrated...I’ve attempted to quit for years and feel like I’ve limited my life and dreams so much 😢...the thing is I have been into spirituality, meditation etc and done so much inner work for the past 8 years...and yet that hasn’t helped me stop. I know loneliness/community is a big gap for me at times, which doesn’t help.
I love this video. Described my experience with marijuana to a tee. It used to serve me. Now it's been holding me back. I'd even get to a month and feel like "I know I can keep this up for much longer, so I don't have to" so then I'd get high again and next thing I know I'm back to daily smoking and the depression and anxiety creep back in. Great video!
i struggle with the addictive voice telling me I need it nice we break free from that prison we will rise !
34 days drug free yayy well done me ✨ 25 years I was stuck on weed "Strong Holds are Broken" Hallelujah ✨
kirstin makea congrats! Inspired by you!
kirstin makea you can Continue this!!!
@LH SmithTV Afghani mostly back in the day for me,
I wish I could stop it makes me so sad that I think is the only thing keeping me alive
My partner's quit now also, it's been 3months for him, and now here in New Zealand there's a voting pole as to weather or not dope should be legalized. 🤔
You can feel the hope in this guys voice. He speaks the truth, you can’t deny that.
I quit a month and a half ago
To anyone struggling
It does get easier ! Although you and your brain might think differently right now.. you don’t need it… It’s always better not to smoke if you do not have a really good reason to.
It slows you down. You would always achieve more without it
Congrats to you! A month and a half. Big Win! How's the recovery going?
This shit hit home. I'm 29 and have been smoking since high school. I've been trying to quit and be with my sober self. I haven't been able to get past 3 days and it sucks admitting to myself or rather feels embarrassing how weed has control over my own self when my thoughts are telling me I'm better than that. It's making the actions match the thought process
Bro totally same here I’m 28 next may and I haven’t stopped smoking weed either. It sucks and it’s really taking over me day by day I hope we get it over with
We can become addicted to the feeling of peace and if we find something that makes us feel at peace we tend to become addicted to it
@@leftocean-es5gc well its not really the bible that saves it's Jesus who saves us
@@leftocean-es5gc lord have mercy don't you have a job or a life to live🤦 I read the bible but I don't bash other people with it. Go away 😂
being still, feet on the floor, listen to the birds, no weed, pure natural self awareness saved me, I smoked weed from age 12-28, llongest i was sober was 3 months at age 26. I am now 4 months sober, but this time decided i'm quitting for good
@@Finn11233 I'm happy for you it feels so good to just feel again when u stop &I believe you will stop for good too God bless ✨
Nice
Weed made me wake up to unprocessed emotions and opened my eyes to new horizons but the downside of that is it made me hyper-aware of all the dark elements of my life that I had been in denial about.
I am not sure that I am better off now. But I don't think I should do it anymore.
👍
Roger Levy i understand bro , I’m going through the same, it’s something like identity crisis , but I’ve promised today to find myself back , in gonna do whatever it takes
I relate to this so much
Jonathan Rodriguez hey bro I’m so much better now , I promised myself that I’ll only smoke when I’m productive and trust me the only way to become better is leaving your bed and taking your off this shit
Jonathan Rodriguez lets get that bread wohoo
I've been smoking weed non-stop for past 6 years without my family and friends knowing how deep i got myself into this habit.
And it has caused me a lot of mental and emotional problems along the way.
I'm glad I find this video when I'm entering day 4.
This video gives me hope that I can see this through.
Thank you for this life-changing video.
Please don't spread guilt tripps
@@baktash.4206I dont see anything about guilt trips. Maybe your life can just suck a lot more when your addicted to drugs. The whole point is to detox from weed and deal with life sober so that you're happier, forming a healthy lifestyle in its place.
Smoked my first spliff in 1981. Just stopped. That makes me 40 plus years dependent on the "Mary Jane". Quit alcohol 22 years ago. Quit tobacco 10 years ago. I used many other drugs along the way. Weed is definitely the biggest Elephant in MY room. Never too late to stop!
I’ve smoked dope for 6 years and i am been clean for 8 months right now and will never go back 💪🏾
This was one of the best but also hardest decisions i made last year.
And i have to say that this video is 100% true and straight facts i needed to hear.
I learned so much in that journey without smoking about dopamine and connecting with your higher self etc.
Believe me guys that beeing sober, eating right, doing sport, meditate, taking cold showers, no fap, reading, meeting new people and learning everyday something new gives you the natural high wich is way better than beeing stoned on a regular
Needed this
Iv heard about cold showers being good for the immune system but idk if I could ever just get used to cold showers
@@highliferinaldi5095 start just outside your comfort zone in a cool shower and you can move that line until you can take cold showers no prob
I feel like this is asking if you can be friends with an ex lmao but do you think that when you solve the root of your addiction problems and do all that work you can change your willpower in relation to weed enough to have a “healthy” relationship with weed or is there no such thing as a healthy relationship to weed? It’s hard to imagine a life without it eVer but it if it’s no worse than alcohol and issues with usage can be addressed id love to not stamp these years as a complete waste of time. 🙄
@@rebel8440 definitely needed this
I've stopped for like 8 hours and it feels like eternity
Ant Crp because your body is still high don’t smoke for a couple days then it will go away
@@abolisher 1 week now :)
Ant Crp I’ve been sober 2 days and I already don’t want to smoke anymore
Ant Crp good job with the one week let’s keep it going 👍👍
@@abolisher yeah it's just hard to sleep and I keep dreaming about it but I really feel better now, I've been smoking everyday for 8 years
Remember watching this video almost 5 years ago! It gets better guys, way happier now
people have this stigma about weed not being addictive. it makes it harder to tell someone, "hey... I have a serious problem... I can't stop smoking pot. I do it all day long every day and I have since I was 14, I'm 27 now."
My addiction to pot is very real, thanks for making this video

"Weed dims the human spirit over time" YES IT DOES
Poon Hunter Since 83
I almost cried I've wasted 6 years
That is so sad. I bet you guys if you vaped or smoked weed 1 or 2 times a week, you wouldn't think that. No one should drink alcohol 3-4 times a day, every day for years. That would destroy you. Same thing with weed. Why can't people just be responsible, its just sad.
johan terzis 10 times a day?? How do you find the time to do that? I'm just curious. I have no idea how people have that much free time on their hands to smoke all day. Do you not have a job or career? Or girlfriend?
In my opinion and experience, I think smoking weed every night is not good for most people. I used to do that too and I noticed more negatives then positives after doing that for years. Would you drink a glass of wine every night? I mean you could, but would you enjoy doing that every night for the rest of your life? Eventually, you won't appreciate it as much or you may start drinking more than one glass. I bet your friends who smoke 8-10 times a day don't have full time professional careers or they don't make a lot of money. I love weed and used to smoke it 3-5 times a day for 2-3 years, then smoke it nightly for 2-3 years. Now, I really enjoy weed 1-2 days a week (usually 2-3 bowls those days). Anymore then that and I feel like it starts becoming a negative habit. But to each their own I guess. I enjoy being completely sober for weeks or months at a time sometimes too.
Poon Hunter Since 83 poon it's pussy that dulls the mind, weed just wakes you up!
I'm on day 12 cold turkey after smoking weed daily for 7 years ... Best decision I've ever made.
12 days is ok but critical days will come for sure, im 28 days off the weed rigtht now but my cravings are now the biggest i have had....:-(
@@pavelvodnar3206 everyone is different. After 4 days for me I'm in the clear and feel fine. After 2 weeks I have 0 cravings unless I'm around it. So just because you're struggles start at 28 days doesnt mean his will as well.
are u still sober?
@@markoplecic9385 guess not?
almost nobody replies xd
Like listening to myself...I'm 36, 22 years in and out of smoking pot. Now again decided to quit....17 days in, no cravings, no desire, I'm just so tired of it after all this years. This love-hate relationship is happening for so long that i really dnt want to live like that anymore. I'm an addict..I can not smoke one a day, 24/7 or nothing. Feeling great btw, life is beautiful and can be lived without it!

17 days? I’m at 5 months sober….dispensaries are trash ….life is better without corporate unknown government weed from the dispensaries….
40 years smoking…5 months sober…. Every day I will fight to stay sober because it’s better than smoking weed…
@@jonnietruth4083 22 now ..soon i'll be a 🥷
'guess what was waiting for me, me.' wow that was powerful
I know a lot of people will probably disagree with this guy and make a bunch of excuses but I literally lined up with every single thing he said. When he was talking about finding yourself on the other side of sober ness I honestly started smiling out of hope because I have been searching for something like this. I can’t explain it but when you have deep turmoil within you your mind will seek out the answers. Thank you for this video man! I’m a 20 year old with little education but lots of ambition. Weed has dimmed that ambition and for a long time it made me feel less anxious, and really happy but now days it feels the opposite. I’m more anxious and sad because I feel the same problems that I’ve felt for a long time and with this information I am going to make a step to stop smoking.
Me too. This took me out of denial for the first time ever. What a joy!
You got this G 🙌🏽
Same, i could really relate to him as well.
That's society making those problems worse for you when you realize that weed isn't fulfilling your truest forms of excitement, which brings about the most gratifying chemicals. It's not marijuana that turns you lazy completely. It's a mindset that has been programmed into our psyche that we should become idle when using it, or increase our desires for consumption, which is all just reprogramming our uses of something that has such a power-effect on us.
I’m rooting for you bro
just quit it today feels good
I guess the hard days are ahead but I will stay strong
Been wastin my life
whos with me ?
will update daily
Day 3 urges still there but as long as you have something to focus upon its allright
I am kinda getting back to my Senses
@@RHenry92 all the best Buddy
I know the cycle can be viscious
I really want to quit! I've been definitely living a "half-life" for the last 5 years. My life has been, in the last 5 years, a slow downhill slide. My motivation and focus obliterated. I only smoke a joint or 2 at night, to take away my anxiety. So bad. I'm scared of the anxiety.
If you need some help please take a look here and I will do whatever I can: r20.com/LifeUpgrade
Day one for real this time. I've tried to quit so many times
i’m 15 yo and have smoked pot every day for the last 7-8 months. today is day 5 and i can say i have never felt so free. just knowing that u can do it and you can break the cycle is so empowering.
i’m 16 on day 4 and i feel the same way kinda i’m having a little trouble with the withdraw from not smoking because i use to smoke everyday all day it’s a different feeling in the body it’s not a “high” it’s a “sober” i smoked so long i forgot what being sober feels like it’s sad but true after a wile weed didn’t do anything for me
Dam im also 16 2 days sober, its harder than a mf to quite i’ve decided for a bit that im going to push throught the boredom and the withdrawal yall got it just find something to distract yourself
@@Hustle.central we got it
I’m proud of you guys for trying to make positive changes
I have been smoking since age 14. My mother has been smoking my entire life, and we smoke together. But at age 30 I see that it is taking over my life and stopping my from growing. I have to stop but its so hard. Especially now that its cool and accepted.
It's gotta be hard to have your mom smoking with you and wanting to quit. Good luck
This is so accurate. Everyone has the power to do it. Be strong and believe in yourself.
@ORYIN You're in denial lil buddy
Can u remember your childhood if you can’t your brain is fucked
Following a relapse I always return to this video. It always makes so much sense.
Day 1...now working towards 90 days (again).
Have felt so depressed. I know it doesn't serve me at all.
It needs to stop permanently.
I'm losing myself. I can't do my job. I'm a mess.
I need to stop smoking, gambling and porn. It's all related and it's destroying me and I'm wasting my life :(
I can't cope waking up feeling like shit anymore and only wanting to smoke.
It's also costing me a fortune.
There must be more to life.
(Will update this daily)
I'm now in the same boat as you describe. I struggle through work and wake up fully depressed. 2nd month for me.
I’m there right now. As I’m hitting my cart… I’m so ashamed. I was 3 months and i relapsed
You won’t update daily. You’re too high to remember.
17 days sober! 🙏
I hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
I don’t even have the words to describe how much this video has impacted my life.
I heard my story in parts of your story.
Watching this gave me so much more hope. I’ve been able to quite for about 2 weeks but never more than that....not yet at least.
*truly brought tears to my eyes, just the feeling that there is someone out there who does actually understand what the hell you are feeling inside makes my healing process feel like I’m not going to be going through this journey alone.
God Bless You! You changed me for the better!
Godbless you Elena. I hope you stay strong
The 11-minute mark is a powerful message! The world needs to hear this.
I really need to stop, I’m losing all my motivation.

@@jamespayne1145 ahahahaahh
I know same here 😑
once every two months is the point where it doesn't control you...
I’ve been smoking daily for 7 years. It almost feels as if I’ve forgotten what being sober (more than a work shift at least) feels like. Today was day 1 and it was hard, but I want to prove to myself that sobriety is attainable. I commend everyone making the attempt and we do it together in solidarity. Remember, “the mind will quit 1000 times before the body will”; stay resilient!
It’s my first day quitting today! Let me know if you’ve made it a whole 2 years or what the journey has been like. Much appreciated !
@@dailysuccess.podcast how you go maybe planning to stop starting tomorrow
Thanks!
I made the choice to quit, and I kept to my word. That's how I quit.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever say this, but my beautiful, smart, loving 14 year old son is smoking pot and I can't get him to stop. I talk to him about it and he seems to really listen and feel bad for disappointing me in any way, and after about a day or two, I find out that he's high again. I am going to show him this video, if it's ok with you, because the way that you described how you first felt, is so similar to how he feels right now about this new thing that he found. I really, really appreciate and respect you putting your testimony online and I hope that it resonates with him somehow. Thank you.
My friends were my worst enemies...I had similar prob w my son but was lucky he was interested in band and he thtived...my hope is that you gently nudge him into similar...either sports swimming flying sea-scouts but band is usually always there at every school. Best wishes he finds his path of happiness without pot.
Jenna, I feel for you. What did he think of the video? If you think he's open to recovery and looking for support, we would love to have him check out our new course Life Beyond Cannabis www.r20.com/lifebeyondcannabis
I don’t cry but I busted into tears when he talked about the start of his relationship with weed. That was the most accurate description I’ve ever heard. The breath of fresh air, the finally being free to just “be” day one of trying to quit, I wasn’t ready for that. Thank you for uploading this

The Life Of Hebah Don’t give up. Or even be frustrated. It’s a fact that every time you try to quit, you get closer to quitting. This could be the time where you get momentum and finally Let it go.
The reason you let it go is because it no Longer has relevance in your life. Something else is calling you. Allow the new thing to enter your Life. What I have found helpful is to Connect with other people who also have let it go. Even if it is just one person, that’s enough. We have a Recovery 2.0 Global
Facebook Group. Join it. And post there that you are trying to move beyond this pattern, this behavior, this stickiness. You will find tremendous support coming at you. What do you have to lose?

Dr phil on an episode said something along the lines that it's not letting you grow because you are using weed to cope with feelings. It also makes you an emotionless zombie when abused in my opinion
@@coreypatterson6264 so true
I struggled with intense depression and disassociation growing up, to where I internalized it as just a part of who I am, then when I first encountered marijuana at 18 I felt like my world went from black and white to full color. Words like love and joy went from things I could recite textbook definitions of to actual experiences of profound depth and nuance I had no idea previously existed, it literally transformed and opened up who I am as a person and anyone who knows me would say it's like I'm an entirely different person now. But it also feels like those life lessons this substance may have had to teach me dried up years ago and now I DO feel dimmed and held back from reaching my full potential. I've never had such conflicted and confusing feelings about anything in all my life.

That was my experience. That's what made the decision to quit so hard to arrive at. It was beautiful just how much marijuana helped me with my depression. It wasn't just getting high. It felt like it taught me how to enjoy things. How to enjoy life. But now it makes it harder to put into action the lessons I learned. It makes it harder to even see that bit of truth with clarity.
13 yo up until 22 yo, man that ain't shit. that's like a walk in the park. After 40 years at it, I am looking for some help in understanding why. I think you're right, it has deemed my shine and I started to deal with the struggles as a teen. I pray to be weed free soon. I could use some support.
I used for 5 years and then quit for 9 months from sept 2019- APR 2020, I used the covid pandemic and quarantine as an excuse to start again. Now I’m sitting here January 2021 and have been high everyday since April.
I am very dedicated to my Sadhana and can feel marijuana’s impact on me each morning as I sit with myself.
Like you said, marijuana served me for many reasons, but the force is strong and I can’t go on with this addiction anymore.

I smoked high thc weed for 10 years all day everyday. One day it turned on me and started giving me crazy anxiety and panic attacks, so I switched to 0%thc, high CBD weed and I'm now 14 days off THC. No withdrawal symptoms or anything. I used CBD to get off of weed and now I can just smoke a CBD joint whenever I feel like it, I don't have the need to smoke a joint anymore since CBD has no psycoactive effect,I don't have the need to fire up as soon as my ''high'' is gone like I had with thc. I just do it whenever I feel like it. I never thought I'd be able to quit weed but it went so easily.. for anyone who feels like it, try CBD and no thc, it will make it way easier than you think.
It was the opposite for me. I needed to go cold turkey
Just curious, have you still quit?
@@tiktokccp670 Yea I am now a year off and still use CBD flower whenever I feel like it without having any addiction to it ✌️
@@gronden1231 Good for you! I am nearing 60 days and I used CBD with maybe .5% THC for the last 6 months and it seemed easier to stop. I am/was a 20+ year every day/all day smoker. Glad to hear you are still THC free! I feel so much better just after two months.
@@tiktokccp670 Yea man ! Way to go Im happy for you! As much as I loved THC, whenever it doesnt feel right anymore it's time to quit, you'll feel so much better without the addiction, anxiety and everything. Keep it up man ! ✌️
It's been almost 3 months since I stopped smoking weed, and you nearly made me cry, you are a cool guy man, I'm glad you are where u are now!!

60 year old male here. Close to 40 years of smoking pot. Pretty much daily. Day 6 now. The night sweats are horrendous. I'm single. No support group whatsoever. I'm surrounded by this image of Jake the old happy hippy. Every one expects it of me. I don't want to be that guy anymore. I get stoned before every thing I do. Including the gym. Playing guitar. Working in the yard, walking my dog, fishing, golfing, every thing. It's so hard. You are absolutely right about everything you are saying. Legal weed in Canada has not helped the situation. Day 6, here we go. I am embarrassed writing this.
Anyone watching this while stoned?
Trippy Hndrx Beatz yes yes Im stop smoking when the plants no longer grow!;)
Laughed for 47 seconds
Trippy Hndrx Beatz. Yo we smoking in oc CA. Shit im trying to quit . lmao
Manny tapia it's the same shit bro ik just stay high quit when you have too but not when you can smoke
I am sure I can make 30 days so I don't really have to make 30 days.Lol
20 year stoner here. Every day. The past year I made it to day 20 and felt mental. I needed to exercise. On day 5 now wish me luck lol
James Hansen 28 years here.Good luck. Ive quit as well.
James Hansen good luck brother
15 days clean after 30 yrs smoking off and on. Last five years ive been smoking daily 4-5 joints a day or more if i could. Its a struggle some days. I've love to stay in touch with other ex smokers to help each other.
lola diaz so still clean? I found the first two weeks was the hardest. I've not smoked for 2 month now and it is definitly easier. I dont really think about it too much anymore. Just need to make sure I dont sabotage myself by thinking I could control it. There is just no way I could have weed at my disposal and not smoke it for a prolonged time. The only way is to stop completely for me.
Same here, its been alittle over a month now and im still clean. The vivid dreams and nightmeres were the worst for me. So far so good. I know a lot of people who can smoke and quit no prob, im not one of them. Im a true addict, if i smoke one i just want to keep going and usually do for yrs and yrs. I think staying away from it is best for me, but not for everyone. Best wishes to everyone just trying to be better than they were yesterday. Love for all.
Thank you, I have been on and off marijuana for years but never achieved my full potential in relationship or life. whenever I quit , I relapse. I quit again.in Nov 2021 and I pray never to look back. I'm 33yeaers without a steady relationship nor stable means of survival
I think it's time to enjoy my best years ahead of me. Thank you for your time in sharing. It really helped. It changes ones perception of things and in life, it's the little things that matters.
Best discussion about marijuana use. No drama, no politics just facts.
Two years ago I watched this video, and my life has been changed. Thank you for inspiring me to confront myself and this addiction.
This video is beyond amazing, one of the best on the topic of quitting cannabis and the comment thread is very inspiring. I'm in tears over how much I relate. I've tried to quit countless times and it breaks my heart that something we are told is benign can be so life shattering over time. Part of the reason I have found it near impossible to quit is the addict inside is convinced that I won't change and my life will be burdened no matter if I smoke or not- which is so untrue because whether we want to believe it or not, being high takes away so much from our lives. Good luck to everyone on this journey, we are in it together. I can't wait to discover the person I am free from the haze. Blessings to all.
I have a playlist called “Stuff to watch when Needed” and that’s the one video there. Thanks a lot. I came back to it today again, it calmed me down and helped to get through an urge without acting upon it in a way I may regret later, I just watched this video
Im done. I needed this sooo much. Im tired of going through this cycle.
bigheadedant same this is my 4th time getting caught up by my parents and it’s just not working
Me 2

Most sensible comment section I had ever scene. 🕉 I am 23 yrs old I started smoking since I was 13 or 14 , earlier it was fun now my life is total waste... I want to grow and change as a normal person.i fight daily with my inner self and I believe one day I can proudly say I am changed .... Only time you realize you are adicted when you want to quit and that time you realize a lot.

"you will get to live a kind of half life"
This statement is so true, and a sad path to take that we may not ever fully realize until it's too late.
Love and blessings and wisdom to those on their journey ✌💛
