Thanks u, for the motivation ! Tomorrow makes day 4. It’s tough but I don’t have a urge to smoke , just feeling all of the withdrawal symptoms.
Been smoking regularly since I was 17. I’m 27 now and I quit a week ago. The insomnia, and depression are the roughest parts of this detox process. To anyone who is struggling these videos are a guiding light in a dark cave. Thanks so much for these videos.
Did you ever experience depersonalization when going sober? I’ve been experiencing it past few days, more so towards night time and it’s scary.
@Joshua :) haven’t smoke for 2 days life is boring
@@draccoivxx30 be getting that at work sometimes especially when I stop cold turkey with weed , and the depression after stopping cold turkey is sometimes unbearable, but I always have the thought process that it’s just temporary and it’s for the better which helps push through the days
@@draccoivxx30 opposite for me bro. My personality has come back
i dont wanna pass trought that depression and insomnia, I prefer keep smokin
Started smoking at 18. I’m 27 now. It’s ridiculous how one month turns into one year turns into one entire forsaken decade.
Try 3 decades..my life is bs mate
Yep. I quit at 45 years old and it’s like stepping out of a time capsule. Trying to figure out who I am now.
@@mchankerhoff853that’s my reality right now
@@mchankerhoff853 how is it going ?
@@siiNke still sober. I feel very clear. I still get bored at night but it’s getting easier.
Quitting weed is pure pain. But as with all pain, you get used to it and then it stops and you are stronger and wiser. Have faith!
I quit 6 months ago and, honestly, the only thing that improved was my short term memory… slightly. I had hobbies when I smoked weed, but now I don’t have the passion for anything. What I can say is that I’ve never been happy, even as a child. I was always dissatisfied with everything. When I started smoking, I experienced real joy for what felt like the first time. I used to smoke and clean my house, work on projects, make websites, etc. Now I don’t smoke and my house is a mess and all I do is work and work out. Working out helps while I’m doing it, but as soon as I’m home alone, I feel like garbage and I have no satisfaction in anything.
Might have to talk to someone I'm on day 1 lol I feel like shit 🙃
I can totally relate to your feelings, you're not alone.
Man, I could have wrote this. This describes it perfectly.
This is scary.
Don’t stop looking for new hobbies! My gf got me into hiking and being out in nature and as a sedentary stoner who only finds joy in weed and video games it has improved my physical and mental health so much. Just find a friend and take them with you! I promise you won’t regret it 💚
Commenting for the algorithm. This is an underrated channel
Thank you! Every little bit helps, I really appreciate it
It seriously is, entertaining and because of this dude I’m gonna go my official first week since 2012 without tobacco/nicotine, alcohol, and weed. I’m on the last stage of getting weed out
@@deleukc Kevin!!! I am so happy I just saw this, makes my night knowing I was part of your journey... 🙏💪
@@AddictionMindset I’m gonna keep at it too, I finally got the confidence and excitement to finally be the person I’ve been imagining for years! Thank you so much!
HONESTLY, THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE SUBS. I don’t know what I would have done without it
I got severe anxiety disorder, panic attacks and quitting weed has made me feel so much better.
Still got bad anxiety but the derealization has stopped and that's a blessing.
Thanks for your videos.
Honestly I went from daily panic attacks to now like 4 years sober and it’s so worth it! Glad to hear you are doing well and in the right direction
How did I you fight derealization😳😳
@@timmy4469 take slow steps in your mind to fight the fear and gradually it gets better or get prescribed ssris for anxiety x depression also magic mushrooms helped me see things differently it helped i had intense dp for 2 years
@@andredecelis327 hey..how can I go on with the magic mushroom..bruh depersonalization is eating me up feels like hell
@@timmy4469I feel depersonalization daily too man your not in it alone I pray for you it’s a terrible feeling. How is it going now? I’m 7 days clean from 5 years if smoking and want to know if everything will be ok in the future because life feels unreal all the time like I’m watching it rather than living it.
Everyone in the comments I just want to tell you all that I love you guys, we are all dealing with a similar struggle and im glad im not the only going through this
woke up this morning absolutely bawling my soul out for no appearent reason. I am 1 week in now, thanks for the video!
I'm only 23 hours into going cold turkey from nicotine. I don't even remember feeling this miserable when I quit weed. Perhaps I was and just didn't notice since I'm just now learning that depression can happen when you go cold turkey from a substance
I’m one year sober and have ups and downs but nothing like I was when I was actively addicted. My weed smoking made me more depressed. Now much happier
I’m trying to quit again for about the 19th time. I’m on day #2! Amen, and praise the Lord!
I'm on day 3 and bro my emotions are all over the place, I feel confused sometimes, shit iv even had moments of crying, I did 10 years daily smoking, the past 3 years was heavy smoking, but I'm not going to relapse anymore, I'm pushing through and you can too! Can't stop won't stop!
Got to win it... Be stronger of mind!! And things will be better.. I'm doing the same process so stay strong
Hope it’s still going good
How are you doing?
Turn depression into being proud of how far u have come!
Exactly! I always say to myself: Fuck this shit! I’m the best
I’m almost 2 months without weed and for the last 8-9 years I was smoking at least 5-10 times a day without any breaks. I quit because it had a strange effect on me, I realized that even though it was euphoric it took a lot away from my confidence, social skills, finances, and ambition. Surprisingly the first month was the easiest part for me with little to no withdrawals or side effects. I thought stopping would effect my appetite, sleep, and happiness but overall all of those things have remained the same. All throughout my addiction I thought I would never be able to stop and ultimately powerless over a plant. I’m at the point where I do have mood swings which sucks but because I was honest with everyone in my life about what I was doing and why I was doing it. This past week has been a lot harder for me psychologically but im not willing to go back because the positives have definitely outweighed the negatives from stopping. My emotions flood in so intensely sometimes that I cry from euphoria, but other times I feel extremely bored and somewhat depressed. I’m finally getting back to all of the things I was passionate about in my younger years and my relationships with my coworkers, friends, family, and girlfriend are improving. I’ll be turning 28 a few months from now and figured it was about time to stop, or at least try. Before it was too late and all of my dreams and ambitions fade away into late adulthood. If any of you feel like you need to stop you have to try at least, it makes it easier taking it a day at a time and reminding yourself that if things ever get really bad you could always go back whenever you want. The only thing keeping me sober is I did not quit forever. It’ll always be there, but the earlier you can break the cycle the better. After almost 2 months I can see that I was a lot more depressed while I was using. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there somehow so here they are.
I feel this, it kills drive and ambition makes you content. It’s like a blind that makes everything feel okay when it’s not. The first 2 months are the easiest and it gets rough as you go on. Stay up we got this ✊🏼
how are u now smoking weed made me depressed i feel hopeless
@Arman_sleezy regulate. smoke occasionally
I smoked for 2 years straight. Went cold turkey by going back to my hometown as the substance is not available back home. This was the best way to force myself quit. 9 days i have not smoked any weed. I get dreams about things i desired and wanted sometimes the dreams are so depressing i wake up feeling the same thing and carry it along day. During the day i even with weed i used to workout so i kept that as i knew this would help me. Meet your friends, go for that long car ride, slowly things will fall in place. You are not late. You will feel numb, feel like time is just going past quickly. Dont be too hard on yourself. Give yourself time. Good luck. I am planning to never go back will update you all so thay this section remains like a reference point for me. I will comment here after 30 full days of no weed which will help you to see things from my perspective.
I'm in the same situation
So how’d it go? 👀
@@algjr951i not only quit weed for good but also stopped watching porn and started semen retention. I am clean for more than 30 days without porn, weed and alcohol. I started working on my goals, i was working out anyway so that got better. I have much better sleep quality, i tend to think in long term and i feel much happier and calm than before. Rewire your brain guys. Get close to god, work on ur goals this is only life youve got. Weed, porn and other substances are work of devil which takes u away from God.
You can get through this.
You are enough.
This gave me hope ❤
After 25 years, I'm a month in to stopping. Been working out, everything is better except I've realized how terrible most people are. I was always so positive and happy, and now I see how people really are. They are only good to me if if they need something from me, or I've done things for them. Otherwise people are horrible. I'm thankful to see the truth now, but it's shitty.
This comments sums up what I feel also 👊🏼 time to snip snip these bitches out init
This
Right? And being a stoner might make it easier for people to use you, say shit to you, or i mean, you may not be so quick to make a comeback lol. I sometimes think having more friends could help, or even a gf, lol, yes i'm OPEN TO ONE but it's not a main goal! And another point, enemies might make better friends, you already got past the bs, you now have shit to prove to eachother, funny how life works. The book even says if you don't have any, make some lol. Some people do suck, avoid them at all costs, they will drain us and take us down with their misery. Some people definitely think the same about stoners, think about it...
I'm also learning that all good things, even friendships or mentorships may come to end at some point and that's ok.
Me too I’m four days sober and can see everyone for what they truly are now and I have a strong disdain for humanity. Nothing would satisfy me more than to see the whole world burn. I’m not sober by choice I lost my regular connect and it’s sent me into a deep dark hole of depression. I want weed back in my life. It made me good at art music I enjoyed sports card collecting. Now all I see is how pathetic humanity is how everyone wants to just use me manipulate me and lie to me. I feel so lost.
@@BigDirtySSdid you go back
I think it's probably really easy for someone to post one video on this subject and never be heard from again.
I absolutely love how dedicated Dr Frank is and how committed he is to helping people lead truly richer lives. It's really meaningful and inspiring to me, especially since I rarely give any sort of credit to a RUclips personality. Props to Dr Frank and his team, your commitment to helping people improve themselves is absolutely amazing. Glad I found your channel.
This made my night!! Makes it 100000% worth it! Thank you
Yesterday was my first day sober, I was so stressed out on what I want to do for the rest of my life that I broke down and started questioning myself about life.
Still sober?
48 days without W after 10 years heavy, couldn't of done it without your advice and videos. You're God sent! If I can do it ANYONE can!! Thank you 👏💙
Hello. Can you please tell me how long it takes to feel better? Ty
@@guilhermemorita5537How u feel now? Im on day 52 and still feel depressed & weird
Day 82 sober and completely clean and free … my depression has gotten a little better
That sounds like progress to me! One day at a time my friend!
I'm 3 months since I stopped cold turkey and I feel depressed 😢😢😢 and some anxiety 😢😢
I found the only time I really actually enjoyed weed is while im consuming it, about 30 minutes later I start feeling crappy and want to consume more and it just becomes a vicious cycle.
Yeah, that’s true. You get all dudded out and can’t think straight and feel kinda crappy after that 30 min. But here I am 5 months sober and I’m not much better than when I was smoking. I’m a miserable bastard.
Yup
This the 1!!!!! When u sober u wanna smoke but when u high u regret it and don't wanna smoke nomore and start talking shit bout yourself
I’m two months in and fell into deep depression. I found you today and I’m glad. I feel lost, I was high all the time and being retired I feel scared to have this much time on my hands. I was everyone’s hero on social media, traveling and living large but it was all fueled by weed and now it’s hard to find my new normal.
@@Aurora-ep6bd I made it six months and I don’t miss it! Occasionally I smell it and miss it but my new life is real and satisfying and most of my friends like the calmer version of me to the manic one from before. Good luck!
@@Aurora-ep6bd I joined an online recovery group and they are very caring and supportive. Ween music group formed from fans. Meet 3x a week. I realize weed isn’t BAD. It was just bad for me. And you have to adjust to a new life but I’m very happy! And richer!
If you got money and time you got all you need in life to find something that interests you, good goals gratz
I crave weed the hardest at night and going through your videos helps so much. Thank you my dude
On week 3 without weed after smoking everyday for 2 years and another year of trying to quit but failing. I know for a fact I have broken my addiction and to anyone that’s going what I went through I promise every day it gets better
Did you experience the anhedonia or depression during ur withdrawals and if so how long did it last for you
Weed started as a war with boredom that then made me feel like life was boring without it. It’s taken a lot for me to overcome my addiction. My sleep has still not been the same. I simply don’t get restful sleep anymore which has a big mental effect on me but I still fight the battle. I’ve been in and out for the last 10 years and the advantage is I know my triggers so I stay clear. But the battle never stops. My mind tells me it misses the feeling, but I know the shame will far outweigh the short term joy of the high.
How are u feeling now? I'm almost 7 months sober and I'm still dealing with anedonhia and some anxiety
8 weeks in now, your videos help me stay on it.
Huge progress right there! 🙏
First week without marijuana (15 years everyday heavy smoker) after coming down with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. The sadness is hitting me hard. It’s like I have SO MUCH to grieve that I didn’t fully take in over those years. I was blocking out so many things with the weed. It helped me cope I guess but not productively. and not I have catching up to do. 😞 the mental aspect of this is truly the most difficult.
How are you now?
@@hvz0078 I’m feeling really good, thanks for asking! Not smoking weed has cleared up a lot for me. I’m way less anxious and paranoid/ in my head. I still have a lot to process and that will continue to trickle in slowly. I’m in a really good place in my life now. Expecting my first child in September and very excited about that!! I honestly never thought I would be a parent but it’s the most exciting new chapter to embrace. I am in a really healthy and loving relationship for the first time in my life which is also helping me heal tremendously. Thanks again for asking. I’m honestly super grateful for the hyperemesis episode because it forced me to stop a habit I wanted to stop but didn’t feel I had full control over.
@@hvz0078dead
I hope your life is incredible now. I know how you feel, went through extreme sadness when I quit kratom cold Turkey. But so thankful there is always a way out. Always light
@@lc9685 thank you that’s incredibly kind and I wish the same for you!
I'd like to take a moment to thank you doc. I have just been through absolute hell with a 12 day full blown attack with CHS by the sounds of other people's experiences mine ranked right up there with the worst I am only 21 days sober and realize I have a long never ending journey ahead. I wouldn't even know what it was without your channel 4 visits to the ER in that time and no doctor could tell me what it was, one even tried to tell Mr was a stomach ulser and tried to give me codeine. Have hit some really low points but I have a great life, business, home and partner and have so much to be greatful for. Everyday I have watched multiple videos of yours and it gives me huge amounts of strength. I really feel what you are doing is making a huge difference to so many of us and can't thank you enough. Sending full love all the way from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thanks Richard! It really means alot and your 21 days in not “only” 21 days in, don’t discredit yourself!
Doc Frank always here with another relevant video. No one else online puts things the same way you do
Thank you so much for this kind compliment! It means a lot!
2 weeks clean from weed 2moro after a 20 year daily habit. Your videos have been a big help thanks dude. My energy and breathing have improved so much already and my sleep is slowly getting better ! Dreaming every night and I love it !
So glad to hear you are doing well! Honestly that’s awesome! Big congrats on that
Hey I just quit and I’m starting to feel depressed. I’ve been loving my life and the only reason I quit was to give myself a break but not I’m regretting it
Anyone struggling with addiction should watch his videos, they are very helpful.
Really, thank you for your support on the channel it means the 🌎
Weed has kept me from self harm and suicide in multiple times in my life, before i started smoking i had a lot of depression that was caused by losing loved ones in my family, even my dogs had been poisoned and lost them both on the same day ,i had planned to end my life on a lot of occasions, a friend came by one day and offered a puff of his joint, to be honest, it was the 1st time in 3 years i had actually felt good in a span of 4 years suffering from life ending depression, my friend actually never saw me smiling and was shocked to see me smiling.3 years later I'm still here and today I'm happily married with a baby boy and another on the way, im still smoking in private and it hasn't affected my everyday life at home and at work, so in my opinion, it saved my life so to suffer through withdrawal is like saying thank you for saving my life, i mostly think that it all depends on the way you use it, but i guess people are different in the manor of withdrawal,me myself, i am a very active person and busy al the time,the worst withdrawal simtome i get is a headache at most. its all about the mindset
Started smoking at 14 & I’m now quitting at 21. It’s been 10 days and I feel so depressed and unmotivated and dissociated:(
Only 1 min in to this video so far
I think you can't
I also started smoking at 14 and I'm trying to quit at 24....
Still sober?
I have been sober for over two months now. For the past five years, I was a heavy consumer, constantly high and considered myself a functional stoner. However, this lifestyle did not align with my overall healthy and active persona. The urge to smoke every day lingers, with some days being more challenging than others. During bouts of heightened anxiety, my cravings intensify, leading to feelings of deep depression and a significant decrease in motivation. Despite these struggles, I maintain a regular workout routine and even instruct fitness classes, supporting others while battling my own inner turmoil, which sometimes makes me feel like a hypocrite. I felt compelled to share my journey as even though I am committed to sobriety, the desire to get high persists daily.
Been smoking since 18 I'm 37, stopped 7 months ago and I'm more depressed then ever
Weed is more anesthetic then mind opening. Masking all the emotions with the high.
I started when I was 16 and I'm 29! I have tried quitting multiple times but haven't been able to even take a short break!
It's as if whenever I start to quit, life goes down to shit and I have to start back up again just to keep my will to live alive!
Not sure what I'm gonna do next but I won't stop trying !
You are truly a blessing, bro. The care you have for people, is truly refreshing in this world that we live in. God bless you, man
Weed gave me depression and anxiety when I never suffered from that.
I’ve been 4 months sober and I feel worse and I will never smoke again
How are you feeling now? I'm in the same situation 😢
Hello
@@hvz0078 I went back to smoking, i guess i blamed weed but it was all my mind. I feel happy again that I smoked I go out more and have friends
This one hits deep, Doc!
Took me several months and a TON of effort to start beating the depression. But I'm still out here, getting stronger every day!
Wishing the best of luck to all of us on this crazy journey!
How many months ? I'm 5 months dealing with this depression 😢😢
@hvz0078 it was about about 4 months to start feeling normal again. Hang in there. It's worth it.
Exercise and healthy eating helped me big time.
@@BJB104 thank you and God bless you 🙏🙏 I hope this past soon because its hard
I’m currrently going through huge depression + major DR/DP + severe panick attacks. Smoked for two years and everyday & im now A month and half clean. Had I known how draining this recovery process was I would’ve never picked up A joint.
Keep it up. Trust me you are doing great. I am going through the same experience. But I am starting to think that the withdrawals are a sign that the body is healing.
@@aijazsiddique8713 yes, I’m 9 months sober in A few days & im still getting waves but they aren’t as intense. Still not fully normal but getting there! Good luck with your recovery - it’s A long journey.
please keep making videos there is nobody else on RUclips that discusses these topics! keep up the great work you are helping out hundreds of people if not thousands
I have found that if I’ve been taking a break from weed and I feel depressed then weed helps as a temporary cure. However if I start smoking regularly the weed can start to add to the depression. Ive found that exercise as simple as a 30 minute walk is very helpful. Moving the body really helps me both when I am or am not smoking weed.
I’m sad because I lift weights nearly everyday but have not found it helps the depression without weed
It was the main cause of my depression, a feel so much more alive just one month and a few days after quitting.
How are you feeling now?
This channel is so underrated omg
This is very kind of you to say mrs. 🌹 thank you
your channel is helping so many people. myself included.
Iv been sad my whole life, I remember the day I tried weed at 18 I just felt so happy, it actually opened my spiritual side, made me a happier person and more grateful for nature and music and people. It made me grateful for everything and made me love everything and discover new hobbies. I’m 23 now and 3 days without weed, Iv had a few breaks and each break I had I am just sad again like I was the first 18 years of my life. I’m 10x lazier than I was when I was smoking weed, I’m more sad, more angry, and I have way less energy then ever. This isn’t fair. Weed literally made me a better person yet I have to quit because I just feel like it needs to happen yet I don’t have a actual reason. I don’t understand. Weed is the only thing that made me not depressed.
If weed “makes you a better person” and you “can’t be happy without it” then I think you need to go and speak to a therapist. Sounds like you’ve got some trauma you need to talk about with someone
I’m watching this right after smoking 😤,weed .thc was helping my depression,But I’m thinking about quitting I need to stop procrastinating my stomach issues are getting worse bad CHS that is. Abusing thc for 15+ years has created a problem that’s worse than my depression.Don’t abuse,medicate of or end up like me😔I’m at a hard spot in my life rite now dealing with addiction to thc🤢
Thank you for sharing this!
Stay strong
Doing the deep work is so essential. Still discovering depression inducing beliefs at 69 days. Cleaning up the financial and relational mess I have left for myself. Cannabis represses that emotional processing for however long it is used so it takes time! But it is so worth it.
Note to self…👍🏻🔥
You hit the nail on the head in this comment!
@@freshterps5672 welcome to the AddictionMindset community
14 days sober and I’m sleepy tired heaviness on my mind. It can’t be the weed. I would have been able to overcome this feeling with a blunt. Smoking herb is a lifestyle so if you battle with aniexty and depression I know it hard. I started smoking in 2011 and I was fine until I stopped! I’m lost I don’t like pharmaceuticals or nor do I want to take meds.
Somedays I’m normal for parts of the day but towards the end of my day i feel like something missing. I’ve lost weight and my girl who stopped with me has a disability.. she suffers from depression and since she stopped you can really see how shifted she has become. She looks fatigue most day now it’s like pressure and it shows on her face. I don’t know if this is the right decision or the worse. Not seeing the benefits this way around
I found you too late my friend. I've definitely damaged my lungs and now find it impossible to sleep. I've been quit since early September and these things aren't getting better. I have chronic pain now in my ribs and diaphragm too. If you have any tips on forgiving oneself, that would be useful right about now. Keep fighting the good fight.
9 days clean after a 10 + years of daily use . I had a pillow slip last night and was so disappointed at myself . The happiness I felt when I woke up was unreal . Kept me on track for another day
Weed is expensive and my income is down so thats my main reason for quitting. Also I want to trust god and have him help lead my life. I am suffering though my brain is not rewarding me during sobriety. I am living in my head. One day seems like one month for me.
Ive been wanting to quit for a while now and your videos motivated me to finally do it for my new years resolution! I have been smoking everyday for two years almost and on day 4-5 of being sober Id wake up so nauseous and vomited 4 times ..its day 6 now the nausea is gone but the depression is sinking in I have no appetite or motivation but my skin and face looks much brighter and healthier in such a short time..your videos are really keeping me motivated to stay sober thank you so much ❤
This happens to me each time. However, I was REALLY depressed on weed too. I LOVE your videos. They will be tools I will use to MAKE it this time. Weed didn't help me with depression. I was suicidal on weed, so I knew it wasn't helping me.
After 15 years of addiction and on-off depression I think I am finally doing it.
I've tried to quit several times but I think that this is the first time I am being successful.
Depression a major symptom, it tells you that there's something seriously wrong in your life, your environment, your relationships or your approach to life.
When you are in that state, addictions hit much harder as you struggle to find a way to cope in this environment. Weed and nicotine are the drugs of compromise, thus, the only way to truly break the circle is to stop compromising.
Willpower is always running out, you need to be in that environment that makes you strong and recharges your energy everyday.
Seek for your Ikigai, consult a professional or open up to a good friend, seek for wisdom and purpose. You live in a world that is trying to abuse you and take away your time/energy. Rise above, be strong.
Goodluck everyone.
Encouraging words. How is it going for you?
I'm at 6 days right slept 3 hrs yesterday 2hrs today staying positive staying strong
Thank you for this video. Ugh. The feels are intense and I feel so sad. This is the third time I quit/took a break. This video is helping me through a tough day.
Depression, mood swings, nightmares, low energy and confusion. Been sober 23 days and I heard it can take months to level out.
I was smoking heavy from 6am till I went to sleep for everyday from 13-37 happy I'm ready to finally quite these past 6 days have been rough
My belief in God is the only thing that can help me with depression
How are you feeling now?
Please dont stop making these videos
I started smoking weed everyday for about 5 months never struggled with depression, anxiety, and anger quit cold turkey and it’s been almost 2 weeks now I have some days where I want to kill everyone I see and other days I’m in bed crying all day it’s nuts I hate it. I didn’t even smoke that long I have no idea why it’s this bad
How's it going bud?
How are you feeling now?
How are you doing?
@@hvz0078 100% over it thankfully have been for awhile
Day 3 of quiting after 20 years it's a struggle but blessed found this channel.
I was binge watching your videos in the middle of the night 😅
You’re the fuckin best Man. Helpin me so much I’m on day 4 since recently finding out I’ll be a father in 7 months
Thank you so much for the kind words!
i see that majority of people started reaaaly young in there teens. im happy to say im 28 and i waited till 2 years ago to try it and i love it. i have a career, hobbies, engaged, and my own place. me and my fiance smoke together and have a blast jamming to music and talking about fun random things and board games too. i think the problem is people have started wayy to young before figuring life out. get your life together, then if you wish dabble into smoking for a treat here and there. best of luck to all of you. youre more powerful than you may feel or think. us humans are not made of glass. we are resiliant as fuck. those of you wanting to quit, you got this ✊️
How often do y’all smoke?
I never was a depresive person i start smoking weed just for fun, now im 8 months clean and I'm still dealing with depression😢😢😢😢
Day 1 and I’m already dying. Frustrated, can’t eat, can’t stop sweating, I feel like a burden to be around my family because of how I’m acting from withdrawals
Even though working out on a regular basis is difficult for the lazy ones out there like me, when I manage to exercise I really experience that it helps a huge lot with depression. It's like the most helpful thing I've known so far.I wish meditation could help but I still haven't given myself the time to sit down and meditate.
Brother 48 hours without nicotine(after 7 years smoking newports. 3 days with no weed thank you man. Your a huge help man
Day 3 no weed for me , thank you so much family
Get Thur 72!!! That’s what’s up!
I love that you're talking about this topic! It's so needed
I am genuinely so grateful that you are here and share this knowledge with us. So helpful. I recently stopped smoking carts and wax, so flower only. It’s hardly an improvement besides the fact I smoke once a day now instead of not remembering how many times. I want to get healthier and happier.
Your videos motivate me. So thank you. Hopefully I can start my own full recovery soon. Just not quite ready to begin!
Yo that is progress! Can’t downplay it. Keep it steady, go at your own pace. Remember your intention. You got this friend 💪🏼❣️
I quit in July I was a heavy smoker for 2 years after my ex girlfriend left me and I didn’t really care too much. Now 6 months later it’s like I’m going through all the grief now and I miss her more than ever. Hoping I come out of this
In 6 months sober and I'm still depressed 😢😢
@@hvz0078 for how long did you smoked?
Thank you for the video response man. Exercise has been a big part in my sobriety process and it definitely helps. But hasn’t been enough. My mental healthy has really been affecting all of my relationships, especially with my girlfriend. Today she gave me the idea for therapy, which you mentioned in this video. Definitely a good idea. And I was depressed while smoking so I doubt going back would fix it. Ty man
I’m starting a gym class!!! I will quit cannabis!! I stopped drinking 2 years ago. I can do this!
Thru you and faith 🙏 i cant thank you enough for your tutorials ❤ i gave it to God and im free !!!!!finally
Thank you so much for making these videos, they have been really comforting during the quitting process. You’re doing a great thing!
3:00 : "you're only a month into sobriety"... I'm exactly a month sober, you could not be more accurate ! thanks for the great video
I have been lonely that past few days. 6 weeks clean.
I quit 3 days ago and i even feel anxiety thinking about leaving my bed. Is this normal? I think im losing my mind... hope it gets better.
Tip: watch tv series or even go play football, it will distract your mind and that’s the only way to get rid of anxiety(stop thinking about it).
How r u nw
@@s-s_gill3001 Good advice
I’ve been a daily cannabis user for the greater part of 16 years with a seven month break that I took last year. Everything that I convince myself about marijuana to be true for myself is false. But here I am, smoking again. Physical and mental health are such an important part of my identity. That seven month period of sobriety allowed me to bring out the best in myself and it’s what is motivating me to quit again. Met the most beautiful dude of my life and we are still together but my use is putting stress on our relationship.
My physical health, strength, and stamina improved. My appetite was better and I gained muscle and fat. For me that is an accomplishment. I eat like a bird when I smoke weed because I tend to forget, my anxiety skyrockets and I become passive, so I don’t do as well at the gym or with anything as I should or could because… fuck it.
Additionally, all of this medical jargon surrounding epilepsy and cannabis is subjective. If anything, it makes my seizures worse and CBD does absolutely nothing for me.
The messed up thing is…I know that but I still justify it as a means to smoke. I’m tired of having sticky lips, oily skin, and my clothes smelling like skunk.
I'm going on a month sober after using THC for 25-30 yrs as a stoner. Some days are okay and most are bad depressed days. It's hard to cover up my real feelings and it's very emotional. I'm isolated where I live but when I was stoned, it really didn't matter. Other times I'm feeling good and can look people in the eye and I'm going for my goals again. I hope it gets better with time 🤷♀
Did it get better?
guess it was to much for him @@Brandon-tz5pn
I love that you give away solid and helpful guidance for free! You’re doing God’s work. Thank you 🙏🏽 I hope you’re blessed with abundance in every form!
Thanks for the video, nearly 6 weeks since my last smoke. I was less depressed when I was smoking but there were side effects when I was smoking that I wanted to get rid of - short term memory problems, spending too much money on weed, not getting some practical things done, my life becoming a bit stagnate. I think depression is separate to the whole quitting thing and smoking just masked it. I have exercised more since quitting and am eating more healthy but I still have quite a few terribly depressed days every week which I thought would be gone by now. I don't drink but I do think insomnia during the night does increase my depression. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I was probably self medicating with weed a bit. I just want things to get better.
You can do it. Just started quitting myself, on week 1. Stay strong, you can do this 💪
Update
i have adhd too out happiness is already below normal brains so tbh we have to chase dopamine do things that make you happy that aren’t negative to mind body and soul
I’m in this place now. Day 54 and I seem to be scared of everything. Really hanging on. Hope you’re feeling better
I’m 19 have been smoking extremely heavy since I was about 13 and I quit nicotine salts altogether about 6+ months ago and I have gotta say I’m almost having a harder time with weed closing day 3 trying to stay strong 💪
How are you holding up Bro
I tried to quit weed 3 times ! I am smoking 7 years continuously regularly 5 grams of stuff ! It means at least 5_6 joints a day ! I gave for 3 months once and 1 month once ! But went back to it ! Now I have really given it up ! Let's see how long I can continue ! I shall be back here ! Thanks to this man ! His videos are so much helpful ... Thanks ❤ from India
Your content is really helping me right now! I've been struggling with marihuana addiction for a long time now and I've always felt that people don't take it seriously. Thanks to you guys I can finally accept that my addiction is a serious problem and my opinion about it is valid!
I was chronically depressed before I started smoking weed (17) and a decade later nothing has changed, weed to numbs the emotion and let’s you focus on inane things at the cost of productivity and motivation in my experience.
For many of us, quitting was just the first step, we must drop the entitled mindset, build self esteem and confidence.. therapy, work on underlying trauma
Not reccomending but what worked for me was microdosing magic mushrooms.. In small amounts I don't trip and it helps get rid of my anxiety and give me more motivaiton!
Life is so trash. I hate it.
Hope you're doing well!
Same
@@5kbbyy I kinda like life now
@@Brandon-tz5pn glad your doing good brotha
@@Brandon-tz5pnglad to see that 360° turn around. 👏🏼
Always great content Dr Frank
🙏💪thank you
I am Day 2. I've been crying so much. I feel like this can't be done. Been smoking since I was 19 years old. Now I am 36 years old an I am tired of what weed is doing to me. More depressed, intense anxiety. But now since I am sober, I am more sad n just confuse
My daughter once had a friend say something like “I just smoke weed all the time because life sucks”. So she asked him the obvious, “are you so sure life doesn’t suck because all you do is sit around and smoke weed?” He didn’t really have an answer.
Even if I smoke weed I used to help out more when I was in the beginning of my addiction with meth and I was trying to quit it helped me out and it got me through the 6 years but now I don't need it no more I'm strong enough to not ever go back to that drug and depression still there I just actually think when I stopped smoking weed I could start to put my mind at peace and I won't get attacked as much and I'll be able to really just think and be clean and sober for one time in my life you know really sober!
Weed keeps me at a 4/10 - no less, but no more, either.
Take the weed away, that becomes a 1/10. But that gives me a reason to do the deep, real work it takes to get to those upper numbers. To find the satisfaction that comes from being truly proud of myself, from spending my life helping others, from knowing that other people’s lives are actually better because I’m in them.
It is scary, having to deal with days of 1s and 2s without that super easy crutch to bring it back just below mid. But scarier to me is living the only life I’ll ever get being content with mediocrity instead of ever finding out what I’m truly capable of.
