I started smoking weed on a daily base since i was 19-20 yo. Im 33 years old and i noticed that it stagnates me. Im clean for 6 days now. My mother is battling cancer and when i told her that i quit smoking she cried and told me that she is confident she will beat her disease. Cant go back anymore. After only 6 days i feel a better mind body connection, im less impulsive.
First off, tell your mother to keep battling! My wife and I are sending our prayers 🙏 That's about the same timeframe for mine as well, and I have been so much more clear headed since quitting! Great start on 6 days - if you need any support or want someone to talk to who has also battle this for most of my young adult life, please reach out to me!! Stay strong man and thank you for sharing ❤️
It is day 1 of no weed, and clicked on this video to prevent myself from giving into the cravings. Your story gives me motivation that I too can quit smoking. Stay strong brother! Keep shining 🌟
Thank you so much for sharing this, and I’m proud of you for taking that first step! Day 1 is no small feat-it takes courage to make the decision to change. Remember, cravings may come and go, but your strength and determination are what truly define you. I’m honored that my story could give you motivation, and trust me when I say you have everything you need within you to make this journey a success. Stay committed, stay strong, and keep pushing forward 💪
Just started my stopping journey I’m 72 years old been smoking weed for 52 years. Yeah theres some withdrawal symptoms. But you really gotta want to quit. Mind over matter.
52 years...wow. Props to you for starting your journey! It's never to late, and I agree, you really have to want it because there are definitely withdrawal symptoms that are easy to play off as not a big deal. Proud of you and keep fighting!!
Finally I found someone to look up to 😊 I am pushing for 50 and started at 12, you do the math... Starting that young really was not a good thing and I have tried many times but right now I feel this is THE time I will push on. Let us not get into how much negative effects it has had. The fact that I now have a good job even though I never finished university, all while smoking constantly, like on my way to work etc, it makes one wonder what I could have done without it. Hope you are still on the right path brother.
@@Niex_Knox this IS THE TIME!! Believe in yourself. We can't change the past, but we certainly can change our future...so fkn proud of you! Don't ever hesitate to reach out if you need any additional support or someone to talk to! YOU CAN DO IT!

But also: engineer your environment to suit your needs.
That's a great point that I may not have touched on! Take away some of the environmental aspects that contribute to the usage. Thank you for sharing! 👍
Appreciate the vid. Def feeling the same way. After 20+ years of smoking with my longest break being around 2 weeks I am currently on day 17 and feeling pretty damn proud of myself and looking forward to achieving some goals in my life. Battling some serious insomnia with nights of zero sleep at all but still haven’t given up. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your story and for watching the video! Massive congratulations on reaching day 17 - that’s incredible, especially after 20+ years of smoking. I know firsthand how tough it can be to push through those early days, so you should be beyond proud of yourself. It’s not just about quitting; it’s about reclaiming your life and setting the stage for those goals that once felt out of reach. The insomnia can be brutal, and I’m really sorry you’re dealing with that. Remember that your body is recalibrating and adjusting to this new chapter, and while it’s tough now, it will get better. Try to stay patient with yourself during this process - every day that you push through is another step toward a healthier, happier you. Hearing that the video helped inspire you means everything to me, and your comment is a reminder to everyone out there that change is possible, no matter how long the journey has been. Keep going, stay focused on those goals, and know that you’re not alone in this fight. I am rooting for you. 🙏 Stay strong - you’ve got this!
My best paid weeks came when I stop for a month and I was convinced I can control it and just stop and that was my biggest mistake…..I pray this video helps me cause I been searching so hard for a video like this….thanks man❤
I went years stopping for months at a time, then started back up again, so I know how it feels, man. But, I know you can quit if you truly desire to. You have to have a driving force that holds you accountable and for me it was the birth of my first child because she needs me to be the best man I can be and I can't be that man by smoking. It turns out I never could even though I convinced myself I could "quit whenever" or that "I needed it to relax"...and any other excuse my mind conjured. Stay strong, my friend, and dig deep into your heart to find the strength to push through the desires. This community is here for you! ❤️ Don't hesitate to reach out
perfectly said bro. i’m 12 days in right now. fighting psychological depression and anxiety right now. i’ve got a girlfriend and a baby and i feel that it’s still killing my relationship and my mental health at this time. i’m slowly getting better daily but i have a hard part everyday with my mental state. i have no cravings for weed. almost no withdrawing affects other than psychological issues. just can’t wait to be mentally set free. i spend time outside to feel more accomplished and it helps but the anxiety and depression eventually take over at some point in the day. i’m a strong minded person and it’s killing me knowing that im going through this. thank you for you story bro. you’re an inspiration to others. continue fighting strong.
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story as well! You're doing amazing, and I’m truly proud of how far you've come. At 12 days in, you’re already taking huge steps not just for yourself but for your family, too. Facing those tough mental and emotional battles can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety and depression start creeping in. It’s totally normal to have hard days but remember - it’s these battles that are building your mental resilience. Keep leaning on the things that help, like spending time outside, start exercising, and eating well and know that each day is another victory. You’re stronger than you know, and this journey is setting you up to be the best version of yourself. I will definitely keep fighting strong my friend and you do the same!! Don't hesitate to reach out to me 🙏
Hey - I just wanted to swing back by and say thanks again for the kind words and leaving a comment! I hope life is treating you well and you are still killing it out there 🤙
Hello! I just wanted to check in and say thanks again for viewing and leaving a comment. I appreciate that more than you know. I hope life has been treating you well!
Thank you, man. Maintaining positivity in life can be difficult when you look at the state of our society, and then have your own demons to battle on a daily basis. The thing I have done is to write out my reason for fighting - why I keep going...that has made a huge difference in my day to day. Really appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. It means more than you know 🙌
I started smoking bits here and there at 11 but got heavy into it at 15 since then i have tried to be stoned all day everyday im 41 this year and i think im ready to quit for good but im scared im not entirely sure if i am scared to succeed or to fail maybe both weed has been such a big part of my life the future looks scary but i will forge ahead with vigour and determination.
It is scary. I used to use weed as a way to relieve my stress and feel better about myself to the point that I didn't feel like normal when I was sober, and that's when I knew I had a problem. For me, I needed a strong enough reason to pull me out of the darkness that I was in, and my daughter being born was a huge contributing factor to that for me. I also was asking why I wasn't achieving my goals and blaming it on everything/everyone else except for the real reason, which was me. When I got high, I did nothing in pursuit of the goals that I wanted to achieve, but in the midst of it, I didn't care because the high just consumed me. I've been sober for almost a months now, and I don't think I'll ever go back. I am finally living the life I always envisioned and I don't want to steer away from that. Stay strong and don't hesitate to reach out if you find yourself struggling at all 💪🤝
@@joshuargauthier 35F or 35A. Thankfully I know I can score high enough to get it, however I'm going to have to get 5 waivers just to get to MEPS. I'm not enlisting for about 6-8 months that way my brain's not rewiring itself during BCT and/or AIT 🤣 What was your rank and MOS?
Its more like you have discipline issues than weed addiction. From what youre saying you let weed take over your life instead of it just being part of yours. I started weed when i was 16, filipino here. But i still smoke weed now in 33 and im still enjoying and able to do things i want.
I would agree that I've experienced discipline issues for sure, but my lack of discipline was only enhanced when I was smoking weed, and so I think a lot of people have had similar experiences. For me personally, I've always had high personal goals and I wasn't able to pursue them and enjoy weed. But, for those who can, this video is not for them! I appreciate your insights! Happy holidays 🙌
@@joshuargauthier yes i also couldn’t agree more. Weed basically is not for everyone as some people say, as the same for other things in life, this differences makes us unique. I appreciate the response and your video.
Congrats man! Proud of you for kicking it to the curb. I had a similar mindset as you - basically just told myself nothing about smoking served me or my goals!
Just found you. I am in a 6-year long relationship with a man in his late 60s who has smoked weed since he was about 14. I am trying to end it. I feel the marijuana use has damaged him. He is so irritable and cranky when he isn’t stoned. He does not believe it causes issues. He says it is Gods plant.
Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent, sharing your experience with me. I can relate to some of it because I definitely used the "it's God's plant" excuse religiously when I was using. I was in denial with all of the negative consequences that I would experience during the height of my addiction, and it unfortunately leaked into my relationships. You can recover from it, but it requires the individual to accept that it's hurting them. I hit absolute rock bottom, and I was faced with the choice of losing my family and ultimately myself or quit. I'm glad I chose my family and myself. After being sober for this long, I do still think about it, but my desire to be the best person I can be is so much stronger! I am sorry you've had to experience this, and I hope things either get better or you find the courage to walk away. I know it's hard. Don't hesitate to reach out even if it's just to talk! I appreciate you 🙏
@@qui3t my gut tells me that jillybones has been trying to work things out - it has been a 6-year long relationship, but without more details all we can do is assume. But yes, trying to work things out if possible is always the way to go I would agree and exhaust all resources. If things don't change, then the writing is on the wall. Thanks for sharing!
See I've never vaped it, but I get addicted to the high and I've never been able to be as productive as I want to be on it. Happy for the people who can though! Thanks for your insight 🙌
My og start with cannabis/lsd/shrooms was to be more creative as a programmer. Oh boy 3 years forward i struggle to do basic stuff, cant really focus and spending half paycheck on lettuce. Its a slippery slope, i also have addictive personality but its double edged sword not really a issue if you direct this energy. All our brains have similar hardware so we should just try to reprogram the software (mindset).
I agree completely! I also have an addictive personality and find that i can get obsessed with both negative and positive habits, so developing discipline and a strong mindset are ideal!
34 and coming around to the idea I can't have it in my life for a long time or set some strict conditions on it. It's just too important of a time in my life I need to get to where I want to be and then relax. Not relax when I need to get where I need to be.
I love your perspective on it! I tried implementing strict conditions on it, but I always fell back into old habits. So I had to stop outright. Thanks for sharing man, stay strong!
I really feel bad for anyone who's been bullied. Young people need support. We all do actually. Anywho peace to anyone in that position. Bullies are pussies.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It’s true-bullying leaves a lasting impact, and young people, as well as adults, need a solid support system to help navigate those tough times. Your message of peace is powerful, and spreading that kind of empathy can make a real difference. Standing up for kindness and fostering understanding can truly help build a more supportive world for everyone. Let us uplift each other and promote a culture of respect and compassion instead of tearing people down 🙌
Man, truly proud of you. The first step is always the hardest! Do you have a positive habit that you can turn to when you begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms?
One day at a time, my friend! Try finding a positive habit that you can replace it with. When those cravings and negative thoughts start to creep in, immediately start to do something positive to shift your mind away from it. You can do it, stay strong and journal throughout your journey ✨️
Life is just a joke there’s nothing good about it excersize women it’s all not going to give you control over your self it is just the way it is we are here to struggle
Ah, man, I respectfully disagree with you. It's true there is a lot about life we can't control, but that's not our focus. Life will come at you 1000 miles per hour, and the one thing we can control is ourselves. How we think, how we react, how we decide, how we overcome, etc. Mastering ourselves will help us slow life down just enough to enjoy its beauty, its mystery, and all of the good that life is. Life is not a joke, my friend. Work on developing yourself and you will start to see!! 🤝
*context* not everyone can do it through the same methods or angles, just cause it worked for one person doesnt mean it works for everyone glad you're clean but the video comes off kinda preachy mate
Hey ghostking, I sincerely appreciate you swinging by and sharing your opinion! With that being said, you're the first person to say it comes off as preachy out of 100+ comments - did you watch the full video? I'm not telling people what to do but rather sharing my personal experiences with Marijuana and empowering those who have also had issues to share their stories. I'm always looking to improve on how I deliver in my videos and aim to share my experiences as I have tested a lot of different things on myself and know personally that not everyone can do it with the same methods/angles! I hope people try my suggestions out as I do think they can help, but they are definitely not the end all be all as I too grow and improve from methods that maybe once worked, but now don't. Again, I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you watch the video all the way through and letting me know if you still feel i am being too preachy! I am always looking to grow and improve 🤝
@joshuargauthier I had but then again much like your experience shapes your perspective mine has shaped mine, I'm not saying you should change the video cause it could help.people regardless of my opinion.
What's up with all these small channels shitting on weed when it's obviously them. Not everything is for everyone, I can smoke weed no problem but alcohol has the same negative effects that you were describing.
I agree it is not for everyone. This video is for people who have recognized it to be a problem for them. I believe I even acknowledge that there are tons of benefits for people who have specific conditions like cancer or seizures. I also agree alcohol has the same negative effects that I outlined here, potentially even worse with what we currently know. So not shitting on week for everyone, merely just pointing out my experience with it and providing helpful information for people who feel the same. You can see by the comments that tons of people have had a similar experience as me, so this video wouldn't pertain to you. I am glad you can smoke with no issues! I wish I could, because I do enjoy the feeling of it. Thanks for watching a bit and commenting though!
Lol if only that were true. If you can handle it with no issues, more power to you but so many people know it negatively affects them and I'm glad those people found this video helpful!
Hey! I just wanted to stop by and stay thanks again for leaving a comment - I am still sober since we last spoke and appreciate you checking in 🙌 I hope life is treating you well!

I love your perspective on it! I tried implementing strict conditions on it, but I always fell back into old habits. So I had to stop outright. Thanks for sharing man, stay strong!
Hey! I hope all is going well for you since dropping by. How has your journey been going with weed?
I really feel bad for anyone who's been bullied. Young people need support. We all do actually. Anywho peace to anyone in that position. Bullies are pussies.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It’s true-bullying leaves a lasting impact, and young people, as well as adults, need a solid support system to help navigate those tough times. Your message of peace is powerful, and spreading that kind of empathy can make a real difference. Standing up for kindness and fostering understanding can truly help build a more supportive world for everyone. Let us uplift each other and promote a culture of respect and compassion instead of tearing people down 🙌
I feel exactly the same way rn
Do you think it's something you need to try and quit for good?
we have a similar story, what weight class did you wrestle? I was at 172-182 and wrestled varsity 3 ysars in HS
Really? That's awesome man, I bet that weight class was tough! I wrestled 125 - 140 for 3 years as well. I think it's the best sport in the world
@@joshuargauthier nice man , yeah it was competitive for sure but, 145-150 was very tough where I’m at, amen to that!
Thank you for the comment and watching my video. I appreciate you man. I hope life has been treating you well!
Hey! I just wanted to stop by and say I hope things are still going well for you and that you have been killing it out there!
After 14 years of smoking, today is my day 01.
Man, truly proud of you. The first step is always the hardest! Do you have a positive habit that you can turn to when you begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms?
@@joshuargauthier thanks for the cheer up mate. Yes, started to working out now.
Good for you brother. Hang in there and hold yourself accountable. You can make this change permanent and I know you'll feel better because of it 💪
@@joshuargauthier thanks again mate
On day 3 of 365
One day at a time, my friend! Try finding a positive habit that you can replace it with. When those cravings and negative thoughts start to creep in, immediately start to do something positive to shift your mind away from it. You can do it, stay strong and journal throughout your journey ✨️
Life is just a joke there’s nothing good about it excersize women it’s all not going to give you control over your self it is just the way it is we are here to struggle
Ah, man, I respectfully disagree with you. It's true there is a lot about life we can't control, but that's not our focus. Life will come at you 1000 miles per hour, and the one thing we can control is ourselves. How we think, how we react, how we decide, how we overcome, etc. Mastering ourselves will help us slow life down just enough to enjoy its beauty, its mystery, and all of the good that life is. Life is not a joke, my friend. Work on developing yourself and you will start to see!! 🤝
Left picture looked more like Ebola tbh
😂😂 dang, fair enough. Merry Christmas 🎅
@@joshuargauthier yeah, merry Christmas to you too.🎄
*context* not everyone can do it through the same methods or angles, just cause it worked for one person doesnt mean it works for everyone
glad you're clean but the video comes off kinda preachy mate
Hey ghostking, I sincerely appreciate you swinging by and sharing your opinion!
With that being said, you're the first person to say it comes off as preachy out of 100+ comments - did you watch the full video? I'm not telling people what to do but rather sharing my personal experiences with Marijuana and empowering those who have also had issues to share their stories. I'm always looking to improve on how I deliver in my videos and aim to share my experiences as I have tested a lot of different things on myself and know personally that not everyone can do it with the same methods/angles! I hope people try my suggestions out as I do think they can help, but they are definitely not the end all be all as I too grow and improve from methods that maybe once worked, but now don't.
Again, I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you watch the video all the way through and letting me know if you still feel i am being too preachy! I am always looking to grow and improve 🤝
@joshuargauthier I had but then again much like your experience shapes your perspective mine has shaped mine, I'm not saying you should change the video cause it could help.people regardless of my opinion.
100% understand and respect your experiences! I wasn't trying to be pompous, I do genuinely love getting feedback, so it's a sincere thank you!
What's up with all these small channels shitting on weed when it's obviously them. Not everything is for everyone, I can smoke weed no problem but alcohol has the same negative effects that you were describing.
I agree it is not for everyone. This video is for people who have recognized it to be a problem for them. I believe I even acknowledge that there are tons of benefits for people who have specific conditions like cancer or seizures. I also agree alcohol has the same negative effects that I outlined here, potentially even worse with what we currently know. So not shitting on week for everyone, merely just pointing out my experience with it and providing helpful information for people who feel the same. You can see by the comments that tons of people have had a similar experience as me, so this video wouldn't pertain to you. I am glad you can smoke with no issues! I wish I could, because I do enjoy the feeling of it. Thanks for watching a bit and commenting though!
It's from God it's good for you 😅 , it's all in your head it's not the weed.
Lol if only that were true. If you can handle it with no issues, more power to you but so many people know it negatively affects them and I'm glad those people found this video helpful!
Are you still sober?
Yes I am! Going on 9 months now :) Thank you for checking in!
Hey! I just wanted to stop by and stay thanks again for leaving a comment - I am still sober since we last spoke and appreciate you checking in 🙌 I hope life is treating you well!
@@joshuargauthiergood on you brothern
@emperk7 thank you my friend - greatly appreciate your support!
