I smoked weed £20 a day for 8 years and have stopped for a year and 2 months now , wow what a difference, it’s hard for a while then the day comes when you don’t think about it .
Good effort Michael! So true though it definitely gets to a point once you’ve gone so long it doesn’t even cross your mind! Thanks for reaching out 👍🏻
Starting day 1 again. You speak the truth bro. When I realized I spent 5000 a year on pot I almost cried. It was a horrible feeling when you don't have much to begin with.
Crazy when u add up the cash! Use that thought as motivation and keep it in mind when you think you ‘need’ a spliff and you’ll get through it!! 💯
@@Up_in_Smoke I hope so. Right now I feel like getting more and don't even care about going broke. No motivation, just sleepy and irradiated at everything. I know the feeling will leave soon but damn it is rough.
@@TheBongorock I get you man I’ve been there it’s not easy! Maybe enjoy weed and don’t stress yourself out right now if your not ready and set yourself a date for when you’ve moved house then start fresh?
@@TheBongorock The key for me was to not set an impossible goal : that you'll never smoke weed again. Because the truth is I love weed too much and so do alot of other people trying to quit. I found that accepting that i will smoke weed eventually and considering it as a 'occasional indulge' rather than a relapse has helped me alot. i still smoke weed but on a friday night or Saturday night after i do all that needs to be done or that i can do. And when i do smoke, maybe because of my lower tolerance, it reminds me of all things that i did accomplish during the week not being high and how unable i am to accomplish anything while being high on that friday or saturday night. Its a real motivation to not smoke everyday or so often.
Fr bro I spent way to much money on this stuff I’m on day 4 rn and slept pretty good last night however eating is still hard I can’t get whole foods down so I’m drinking smoothies rn. I only smoked for about a 12-14 months and at the begging it was just 1 and week then it became twice, three, and eventually every day. I have no one to blame but myself for that since I let it get out of control. It’s like drinking if you drink to much for to long you build a dependency without noticing or you shove it under the rug and think it will pass but it doesn’t. So always be aware and catch yourself when you think your doing to much. But my mood has been better and I feel overall like a new person just gotta eat to get my energy back
Good job bro you've inspired me to stop today. Ive been thinking about it and everything the money the time txting trying to get it or you cant relax..i know what you mean. Cant wait to feel the freedom you feel man nice one and thank you for the video
Good to hear man thanks so much for reaching out I appreciate the love! Hope your doing well, how is the progress going?! 🙏🏻
53 days weed free after 48 straight years of daily smoking. (I am 63.) The first 2 or 3 weeks were rough as hell. Do yourself a favor and quit while you are young. If I had to guess how much I've spent on weed in my lifetime I would guess upwards of $200K.
Good to hear!! That’s a very good effort keep it going!
Id agree quit whilst your young! It’ll benefit everyone in the long run stopping sooner rather than later..
And wow!! Around $200k, I guess 48 years of smoking this is what it really can add up too! It’s silly once you realise and actually add up the cost! Keep me updated man! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
still clean m8 ?@@Up_in_Smoke
Hey man, thanks for this video. Congrats on your sobriety! I’m starting day 1 right now, little nervous cuz I’ve only ever gone a month without smoking in the last like 10 years. And saving money is my biggest reason to quit right now, so again thanks for this video I needed to hear it from someone else. Since I pay for my girl’s weed too, I was spending $400-600 a month. That’s just ridiculous. Excited to save money instead of blowing it!
Whatsup Nicky! Glad the videos have motivated you to stop! ..
How’s it going so far? 🙏🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke appreciate it brother! I’m going good, on day 24 now and feeling great! Excited about the money I’ve already saved and I’m gonna keep going as long as I can. Saving up for more tattoos and a PS5 instead of just blowing it on weed. Thanks again man
Good man!! Just keep it going, don’t even think about it, it really becomes so much easier the further into stopping you get.. enjoy spending that cash on other things that make you happy instead of literally burning it! Keep it going brother! 💯
YES! I relapsed after 6 months. Now I'm going to try again. It's fun the first couple of days but when it turns into months you just end up hating MJ. Because you loose money, your health goes down the drain and it feels like you're just living day by day without purpose.
Definitely! Once you hit a couple months you’ll be proud and won’t want to go back to weed, I feel disappointed at the thought of smoking weed again now! Keep trying and don’t worry about minor relapses it happens and in time it just clicks and your ready to quit! 💯
day 4 and body feels super weak but its better than mentally weak and guilty and broke and so on !
Your going to go through some sh*t man, bottom line is your body is detoxing from a drug so just accept this and understand it’s temporary! … your going to feel better and your going to be increasing your cash flow, just give it some time it’ll all be worth it!! 💯
I’m on day 3 today and I’m maintaining but I’ve spent well over 5k a month on weed I’m ashamed of it it’s a long road ahead but still I’m in it to win it!
Wow man! Keep it up! Because 5k monthly is quite the expense!! Let me know how it goes💯👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke will do and i know i thought it was cool it was a way of lie a lifestyle a zip a day for years!!! Smh
An ounce a day 😂 no way man you wouldn’t be able to do anything come on now 🧢
@@cbaker2303 Gucci mane used to smoke a lb a day your free to believe what you want but i used to smoke 8 blunts a day each one being a 3.5 #Facts
@@royaldagr8 ok it’s understandable if you’re American you lot make way more money compared to us in Britain and your weed is a lot cleaner, thought you were English
Thanks for the motivation man im gonna give this a serious shot after 8 years of daily smoking
Do it man!!! You’ll only thank yourself once you start to see the plus sides of not abusing ganja.. take it week by week and everything will start to improve, cash, motivation and long term health benefits. Thanks for the comment brother 💯
Love this! If anyone wants to quit I post daily videos and advice to quit! Keep rockin man!
Respect man thanks!!
I smoked weed daily for 15 years, nearly half ounce a week. I quit 4 weeks ago so still early days. Using the money to save up for a drum kit for my kids. Got £250 already, will have enough for it in a few more weeks.
Man that’s great to hear and what a thing to save up for to treat your kids to a drum kit!! Legend man, hope your doing ok bro 💯
Day one starting tomorrow
I have one left and I’ll get on with it cause your right bro I respect it 👊🏾
Good bro!! Do it man 💪🏻… enjoy your last smoke then begin tomorrow and just wait and see the benefits for yourself! 💯
I was smoking over 30 grams a week and that was me trying to cut down but I've since went cold turkey. It took almost 2 months to stop night sweating
Wow! Good going tho man keep it up! It can take time, 7 months now myself and still having crazy dreams but other than that zero withdrawals or ill feelings at all now ..
I was spending about 200 a month on average . Over two grand a year! It’s a thousand percent addictive. Now I’m not anti weed, I’m sure for some it does help and there was a time in that first year of doing it where I felt I really did need but the last two years of smoking it provided me nothing and made my stress even worse. I wasn’t even really getting high those last couple years, it was just what I did at night and all weekend.
Smashed it!
When I looked at my yearly pot expense I know I had to make this change. Especially as an adult.
It takes a lot of money smoking weed!! Glad you realised and stopped wasting it 💯
THANK YOU! Every word you spoke is my truth also. I am so ADDICTED to WEED. I knew it when I didn't even want to smoke it anymore, but it was controlling me. I'm on day 2 AGAIN. I got rid of everything......my grinder, papers...won't even keep a lighter in the house. I had a puff puff pass hoody and that is going to. I want to say that I made it to 8 weeks to and when anyone asks me "Would you smoke it again?" Or "Do you want a joint for free", my answer will be NO! I was spending $1000 Canadian dollars on this new legal stuff they are getting us addicted to.
Thank you! Jus try your best to stay off weed now it’s definitely hard at first but trust me!! Once your fully off it your life will improve, more cash more energy etc… I know people who can function fine smoking and working and just day to day life but if this isn’t you and it is inconveniencing you the definitely try and stop! Let me know how it goes! Thanks for the comment Sherri 👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke I needed to hear this tonight. I never make it as long as you do. I decided to reach our for support and go to some meetings. I love that you feel like you do. It inspires me to get to one year....that would be huge for me and enough to be fully clean from it.
@@Godisfirst21 you can do it too! I use to smoke a hell of a lot of weed and for 15 years!! If I can do it anyone can I know that’s cheesy but you just have to be disciplined and have to really want to stop smoking! I’ve got faith in you please just give it a real shot and try get further week by week you WILL be thankful you quit .. let me know how it goes! 🙏🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke I'm on day 8....lost 10 lbs. I love that. I'm crying on the daily and I went to meeting last night for the first time in my life. I'm really wanting it this time. Like you, I smoked day and night and when these stores came, I only bought the best stuff...all infused and hash.
Thank you for your support.
Can I have a hug? Lol
@@Godisfirst21 that’s good!! If you really WANT it this time then your half way there, that’s how I felt, I was sick of wasting money and time getting high so the thought process of fixing up now or never was essential! Strong disciplined mind frame and make no excuses, deal with the withdrawals and in time you’ll only thank yourself! Thanks for the comment Sherri keep it up!!! 💪🏻💯
Awesome vid
Keep it up Oli 👍
I can see the growth and optimism, set those goals and smash them 🙏
Respect Tom, always brother!! 👍🏻
This is motivational bro because I agree with what your saying about the money.
I’m on two weeks now not smoking and hope to see that improvement soon myself!
Gained a subscriber, keep at it boss 👊🏼
Thanks a lot man appreciate it! .. 2 weeks is a good effort, each day jus gets better and of course you’ll have way more money saved from not smoking!! 👌🏻👊🏻
Day 3. Tks man.
Just keep going! It’s not going to be easy at times but it’s worth it in the long run! 👍🏻
I smoked with tobacco 2 weeks clean of both feel great, dreams are amazing still miss it though but it's for the greater good also would smoke an ounse a week as I didn't pay for it
2 weeks man that’s really good keep it up!!… there’s very odd times when I feel the same, reminiscing of Amsterdam missions in the past! Haha but I’m fully done with smoking now and hope you do the same! Save money and save your time! Keep me posted Frogfather!! 👍🏻
i quit for a few months and relapsed and now im in a constant cycle of trying to quit and relapsing after a few days idk what to do anymore
I hear you man I’ve been there before! You just really have to WANT to quit, change your mentality towards weed, if you are sick of wasting time and money just getting high and wasting your life then your in the correct mind frame to quit, if not it will be a back and forth struggle.. if you want check out my course in the vid description, it will help you out!
@@Up_in_Smoke thanks for the support bro I think you're right I really want to quit but deep down I probably don't wanna accept that i have to let go of it forever yet, I'll check it out
@@LuhDuckster you got this man honestly! Just do it in your own time, the sooner the better though!! Honestly, just think about how much cash and time/energy you will save from quitting .. 🙏🏻👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke thanks alot man 🙏🙏i actually am quitting already im on day 6 the urge is just still very intense the cash is a nice bonus yeah :)
@@LuhDuckster good man!! 6 days is a good effort.. it’s not easy but it really does become easier trust me bro keep going!! And yes keep the cash in mind! You’ll save thousands in the long run! 👍🏻
Did you slip at all in 2 months? I was on day 10 then a friend offered me a hit & I took it and now I feel so guilty & crappy...
Not once! The barbershop where I work many people come in stinking of weed and are stoned as sh*t I was still somewhat surrounded by it, you just have to ignore it and keep reminding yourself why you’ve decided to quit, forget what anyone else does or thinks!!
You just have to be disciplined and understand why YOU want and need to quit, let your friends or family etc smoke if they want and just concentrate on yourself… and don’t feel bad for giving in we’ve all been there and I have been in that position many times! TRY AGAIN! You can do it, it’s all in your mind! 💯👍🏻
JUST SAY NO! it's that's easy my friend
@@tookool4theinternet 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just remember that guilt you feel the next time you are offered a hit. just think, you take a few hits and you are stoned for a short while but then you live with the regret for way longer it’s NOT WORTH IT. Don’t be a slave to anything life is too short my friend. My mantra is I’m too young to put my feet up, I can get stoned all day when I’m old, bored and weak.
@@cbaker2303 shit aint even that deep once it keeps you broke for so long lmao dont make it harder than what it is
I smoke a quarter a week high-end stuff cost about 100-120...I keep telling myself I'll just spend the money on something else guess ill just smoke..I wake up and say ok I'm not smoking today ...1 hour after being awake I smoke just so I can go to work not ready to fight the world... To me well worth the 100bucks but would like to finally stop
Man it takes time, dedication and discipline! And if you really are sick of smoking it and WANT to quit your in the right place now mentally! Id say just go for it.. I always say just smoke and enjoy it up until a specific date you have set for yourself and then really give it a go! Let me know how you get on Craig 👍🏻
Day 4 here
Counting to 28
Afterwards I just want to do a check mark after each month
Good effort man!! Keep it up!
The longer you go the better you will feel, keep in mind how much money and time your going to save! Major plus sides.
Let me know how it goes man 👍🏻
You're such a kind dude replying to everyone here. I was weak and smoked on new years eve :/ Honestly it wasn't fun like it used to be. I realized how weak it makes me overall and my desire to stop is even stronger. Smoking makes me feel sad... never thought this to be possible
@@minusmett7882 thanks I appreciate that! I’m always here to help I’m happy too!!
Don’t worry about giving in especially New Year’s Eve! It happens, I’ve been there many times.. you will come to a point where you truly don’t give a sh*t about weed anymore and that’s when you’ll smash it and end up stopping!
You sound like your close to that point! Don’t stress, just set a date and try again and keep in mind how it makes you feel and how it’s really not benefiting your life! Let me know how it goes!🙏🏻
7 days without weed.
Time feels way different and I'm surprised how many things I got done so far. It feels good.
No toxic self talk anymore. Also watched your latest vid. I expected the third point to be sth else like "improve your mindset, no toxic self talk, no excuses for bad habits which pull you down..."
But your simple "Just do it" made me smile.
It's so true. Don't overthink stuff and take action
@@minusmett7882 good man!!! It’s crazy ain’t it just how good you feel and how accomplished you feel also once you’ve quit! It’s good to hear, and yes I agree from quitting weed there is less procrastination and as you say toxic talk!… but yes the main point is TAKE ACTION!! Do what you say your going to do! .. thanks for reaching out again, always here to help 👍🏻
Do you think know you can have an occasional zoot without the urge to relapse
I think I could! But I really don’t want to smoke weed anymore I couldn’t care less about it.. it’s been like a year and a half now and never felt better about it! .. if your trying to quit I wouldn’t recommend the ‘occasional’ zoot because it can soon turn into full time smoking again especially in the early stages of trying to quit!
i spent 10k a year on weed when i smoked
Easily done!! Silly ain’t it
@@Up_in_Smoke Yep! you can get money back though, I'm afraid my short term memory will be quite fucked forever
@@mrcool76789 train your memory then ;)

How’s it going man?? Have you stuck too it? 👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke yes bro i just had dreams last night. there was a whole story, plot, everything. I'm still craving but i just remember that I dont truly need it
@@miniberricsclips2594 the dreams only get weirder! Haha just keep on going man, I actually enjoyed the crazy dreams.. but ye don’t give in, think about the cash you’ll save! And your health! 👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke thanks man

Are you still weed free today?
Still weed free! 7 months now, how about you?! 👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke one week for me...again. I'm very proud of you. How are you feeling?
@@Godisfirst21 thanks so much appreciate that!! And well done yourself on one week! Keep it going 💪🏻💪🏻..
And 7 months in now I’m feeling unreal, better than I ever have, I sleep better, my appetite is better, I have more money and energy etc the list goes on! thanks for asking and reaching out Sherri 👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smokestill going ?
im not going to watch this video but i really gotta say how annoyed i am by everyone who thinks its worth a whole youtube channel that they quit weed for 2 months. your going back to smoking thats for sure, you not going to get rich automaticly and its not really changing your life.
keep in mind you changed your brain chemistry for years and years and now its still processing that. all stoners who feel they understand the key to life after 1 month sober pls understand thats still not your normal you. and by the time this manic high wears off you going backt to smoking so pls stfu in the meantime
Very insightful comment thanks for reaching out, great attitude! 👍🏻
Its not an attitude its reality
@wefgengneon you seem upset. Hope you feel better today.
Day 1 today 12/12/22 off carts
good man! you got this, stay positive and keep in mind why you want and need to quit!
💪🏼❤️
are you still not smoking ?
Still not smoking! Just on 7 months no weed now, thanks for asking Simciukas 👍🏻
One month clean after 5 years daily
Keep it up man!! 🙏🏻
can't hear a thing bro...
Apologies man! The sound is a little bad on this one 🤔
When you grow lmao
😂😂
I was with you until you said "that bullshit weed". Ganja is awesome, some people who use it are just dumb, plain and simple. If you're spending a lot of cash on it you should do a guerilla grow, even in London they do it. I don´t wake and bake anymore, but a joint in the afternoon listening some vinyls makes life so much better. if you want to quit, good for you, but don´t go around saying it´s a bullshit weed, because to some of us is magic.
I hear you man!! Respect for the comment 💯👍🏻
@@Up_in_Smoke , and one very important thing I forgot to mention, there's strains that give you a couch lock, but some others make you active and creative, it's all about dosage, strain, and the mental health of the user.
@@pfc2508 yeah fully man! I have smoked all kinds in the past, some mong me out and some have made me super productive and energised! Weed ain’t bad man i agree! But when it consumes all your time, energy and money etc and your not happy about it that’s when you should knock it on the head!
