  • Recovering from Marijuana Addiction is an inside job. You can get everything you ever wanted from smoking weed without smoking weed. This is a story of my recovery. I hope you find some value in it. Much Love

    Almost two months sober, not going back! Super rough tho, the emptiness and depression are really creeping in. If you're also trying focus on the long run, five years from now, start today! Thank you for your videos and heart to heart conversations ❤

      You're not empty in any regard
      You're actually filling Yourself back up
      Don't forget the damage it did to us
      Your mind body spirit is becoming clearer
      That's the opposite of being empty.
      Stick with it & then You'll never go back
      Life is about finding our purpose &
      not to be doped up living in dreamland.
      You're lovely don't waste Yourself in a trap
      Love and kindest of regards 🕊

      Just ticked over 5 months sober from weed and tobacco after 20 years of regular use. Still having mood ups and downs and dealing with the random feeling creeping up on me that something is missing, or that situations can't be enjoyed fully until I blaze again. But standing strong and pushing through. Hope u do too. The clarity and freedom is on the other side for us. ❤

    I was that pothead who put on a good show worked my way up to senior exec while stoned out my mind earning senator pay and running multiple side businesses and i felt burned out high hazy in a cloud all the time.. neglected important things and felt that if i could do this much while stoned.. how much more can i accomplish if sober... gave it all up about a week ago.. pray for me.

      Try vaping CBD oil in the 800 strength. And also take drops of it orally wen craving is too intense. This can help u through the initial first few days wen it’s really bad. But u won’t need the CBD for long just for that first week or so. It might contain a really tiny trace amount of thc but will get u over the hump.

    The irony of the first time I ever FELT the feeling of being high on pot was , even though it was intense and (to some degree) pleasant- it was something that I knew , right then and there, I was going to be contending with for a long, long time in my life. And I did - decades. It was like , at that moment ( as I look back) I had “taken the bait” , and I was gonna be hindered for a long time from it .
    I guess it was a spiritual ploy of the enemy that I had given into. And now, I often wonder how my life would’ve been better and different had I just never started , or had the insight to have quit , many , many years ago…..

    Bill, thank you for the videos, helps a lot to the process to quit weed, i quit and relapse 4 times. The first moment i decide off smoke in my life was in the start 2023 when i smoke for 12 Years non stoping, the first month was so hard to me and i see is a problem, i make 3 months almost 4. I relapse and still smoking the rest of the Years. I quit again this year and relapse again in march.
    Bro, i líke so much smoking because im from venezuela in Cabimas. Here Is so boring because no have so many things to do. That Is the reason why i smoke. But makes me lazy, not confidence, spend money have munchies etc.
    I know the best decisión Is quit but boring sometime wins to me. I see you like a friend have much experience

    Im certain this helps a bunch of people, but having a strong will makea a huge difference. I've smoked pot on and off since i was 14. I stopped while i was in the US Navy, then started back up again. I've stopped and started up several times since then. I've never really had a problem stopping if I wanted to. I obtained a bachelor's, masters, and doctorate while ingesting cannabis. My overall GPA is 3.91 from bachelors to doctorare. I ran a successful organization for 3 years, served as adjudication officer at the VA, and have traveled and continue to live a VERY FULL life while ingesting cannabis.
    I am certain your videos are helpful to others - mainly people who are undiciplined with weak wills and no ambition.
    Just know, cannabis is not the achilles heel some say it is.
    Cannabis addiction is an emotional affiction that afflicts people who are already unmotivated, unambitious, and incurious.

      It’s true what u say. It seems like if u are already generally a high functioning person it might not effect your life negatively as much. I feel like I was always struggling to be motivated or high functioning even b4 weed. I think it varies from person to person how much it hinders u.
