Day 2 of no weed… I was a big user of weed… feeling so nauseous, no appetite and depressed but I know it will get better. If you’re reading this and feel the same, don’t give up
I had stopped for 5 months and got back into it a month ago now I’m stopping again and man this sucks
Yo I haven’t had any tonight and it’s my first night without it in a while, it really sucks man I feel so anxious and scared.

Day 2 rn homie
Today is the 3rd days....i am suffering for asthma.... I am feeling difficulty in sleeping...
I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder, got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
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
Hey! Yes Predroavaro
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. 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. I will pray for you all.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Whether you want to admit it or not, your weed addiction IS serving a real purpose in your life. And you're not going to be able to quit until you find a way to fulfill the need that weed was meeting. It's must be replaced with a healthier coping mechanism. I hope this helps some one
At the moment Im going through weed withdrawals and I hav ate in 5 days I had to force myself eat today and it was good we’re mood swings are annoying but it’s a part of the process of healing and anyone who reads my message that’s going through the same boat as me she’s right replace it with something positive and actually chase your dreams and change your life path for the better feeling like ur rock bottom sucks and I believe me I want to smoke today as I’m writing this but I’m not I’m over wasting my time and throwing my life away only thing we can do is go up from here it’s hard but not impossible
@@BigLongJohnson79 I'm proud of you Carl! You're amazing! I'm sending you lots of love and healing 🥰
this makes sense, thanks

As I've been trying to overcome this addiction for about 1 year that's the first time I've read this tip, thanks
Day 4 quitting weed . I cried today. I’ve been smoking daily since I was 20 and I’m 32 now . I’m praying for strength . Thank you for this video
Me too. I'm 31. Started at 20 years
Good luck how’s it going
Ya it's going to be rough. Hope it worked out for you.
hope you’re doing well
Ive been smoking since I was 12 y/o. Im 27 now, I have two kids now. I have to quit today
Stopped once with 2 ounces left in my pocket , gave away that weed and 12 months later i smoked a joint to celebrate a diploma and i started smoking daily again ,i wasted that year and tried to stop 5 times ,april 16th 2024 finally quit again and feeling great already, peace world ,love you
How is it bro update????
it wasn't a waste, your body thanks you for that year!!! addiction is cyclical, don't be so hard on yourself
how’s it going now?
@@Xtcforkidshe got back to it , he’s a stoner again
Same, a celebration joint got me right back, I'll be quitting tomorrow again. I'm annoyed with myself, but I can do it again.
Day 2 of quittin weed , dis is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do but I know the outcome I’ll get from quittin will be greater then any high I’ve ever experienced
4 months later how are you doing now?
@@couchdoritos7326 I’m good now , no more withdrawal it’s like it was never in my life to begin with
How’s it going??
a chronic user from the moment I got out of bed to the moment I got into bed…was high pretty much 24/7 and when I was sober I didn’t feel “normal” when I didn’t smoke I felt ugly n got sick… but now I’m almost 2 weeks sober, I had it all, night sweats/cold sweats, insomnia, stomach problems, couldn’t really eat the first few days, light headed, headaches, vivid dream that honestly felt so real, my anxiety was through the roof I could feel my chest started to pound when I felt the need to smoke or relax 😅 I was getting mad at everything, feeling depressed and overwhelmed by little things that weed and being high helped me cope with. I honestly almost gave up the day I am writing this Nov 2 but I powered through it. Everyone going through this just remember it doesn’t last forever even thou you feel like you might pass out or “die” but never gets to that point it’s your body and mind trying to convince you to get your fix because you made it so accustom to being high. It’s your body detoxing the thc and cbd from itself. Just give it time we all got this 👌☺️
I can relate to this comment
Weed doesn't do the things you're saying. You can smoke something that's like weed and not smoke weed.
Thanks brother
Yes the hell it does especially if youve been smoking heavily for 1 or 2 decades @tristanbulluss9386
How many days did you feel sick? Did you vomit a lot? I’m trying to decrease, because I went 2 days cold turkey, but then started getting severely dehydrated(I have risk for seizures so it’s important to not let my system go into shock) and smoked last night. I also smoked this morning, and I’m trying to micro dose so I can get my system used to less, so I don’t get AS sick from withdrawal. I am still quitting ❤😢 it’s one of the most challenging things I will do!
I smoked weed from age of 16 up until 2 months ago. Crazy part it wasn’t hard, maybe the 2nd day I wanted to smoke again but after that it wasn’t hard at all. I was proud myself
I’m quitting today August 22 2024 I will be back in a month I’m quitting so I can join the army I will let you guys know like my comment so I can come back and please leave feedback and helpful comments
Yesterday was my Day 1 too! We can do it!!
Day 2 for me. Keep going guys. It’s so worth it in the end.
@@maxseibert213 I’m not going to lie this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life the stomach aches and the cravings are so intense
@@Seth-92B I know it sucks. It’s gonna suck. BUT…. Think about how much more it’ll suck if you don’t quit and you can’t do the things you want because of it. Stay focused brother. You got this. I don’t know you, but I believe in you.
@@maxseibert213 thank you so much man it really means a lot WE GOT THIS SHIT 💪🏽
I used to be afraid of the withdrawal, now you hyped me up to take it head on
Hell yea
How did it work
Quit trying to eat 2 mc crispy medium fry and 10 chicken nuggets watch within 40-50 mins you’ll only eat half of one mc crispy
For the first week, being sober felt more intoxicating than my last several years of heavy Marijuana use. It was a strange feeling. Almost at the 4 month sober mark now after daily heavy smoking for 10 years
That's awesome mate keep being light to those around u when u wanna give in dig down deep an remember those u brought light too
@@joshuawilliams9276 ty for the kind words
How's it going?do you feel better now?
@@abyssify5544 Much better since I quit. Sleep is deeper, more energy during the day, more focused, appetite more regular, social life improved.
5 days strong wish me luck!
Been a massive addict for years..14 until now 38. I had a very frosty childhood and finding weed at 14 helped me sleep and literally took my mind of all the madness I was going through or had been through rather. Iv become so dependent on it and I’m a nightmare without it. I really want to kick the habit. All of these comments are really inspiring and makes me feel like I actually can. Wish me luck 🍀
you will make it, believe in yourself
I’m over a month clean now mate 👊👊
@@Beatz-v2nand how are you feeling now ?
How's it been going? I'm scared to quit again but I have to for myself
@@tmaye1024 skinned my knee a few times, not perfect. I'm at about once a month now.
Just being honest, I'm still on the direction of quitting
Nearly 1 month free from nicotine, getting ready to tackle THC. I can’t believe how much better I feel physically without cigarettes, and I’m looking forward to coming out of the fog of daily weed use.
Did you quit smoking bud ?
Yeah quitting cigarettes in particular is one of the best things you can possibly do. My depression and anxiety almost disappeared almost 3 months on from quitting.
Day 5 for me. Finally eating. I had intense depression, anxiety, sweats, shivers, threw up, diarrhea, insomnia etc. Pretty much every symptom possible. This is my 4th attempt at quitting and my last for sure. Stay strong bros! Just keep reminding yourself that it's only temporary and youll feel amazing soon. Also, try drinking really cold ice water. Seemed to help me feel a bit better at times.
All this from just stopping tree? Or some other stuff as well (no disrespect) but this comment right here has me shook
@@dubb3434yep I'm fine now
@@dubb3434I had the same symptoms
@@dubb3434it’s common if you smoke very heavy.

i’m going cold turkey starting tomorrow morning. This video is really inspiring me to take up the strength I know I have and apply it to face this challenge and overcome it.
Still sober off it?
@@exoticbutters8923 yep :) tomorrow makes 1 month, and the change in my mindset and my mental security is absolutely insane. I never thought i could feel this confident in myself and my abilities and quitting has been a life changing experience for me
how'd it go?
@@jhn257 it went incredible. it was extremely difficult at first, and the insomnia absolutely killed me, but oh my god was it worth it. I found so much more energy, strength, happiness, and confidence in sobriety than i ever thought i would, and i never realized how much of a hold it had on my life. My goal was never to quit forever, just to take a while off and get my life back on track. After 75 days i decided to try and reintroduce weed as something recreational and now im able to moderate myself with very little difficulty. I know that Dr. Frank doesn’t believe in moderation bc it doesn’t work for him, but it works incredibly well for me. i’ve found a level that works perfectly for me without bringing back any of the reasons i quit, and i couldn’t be more proud of myself for what i’ve been able to do. I’m happy, healthy, and finally in control
Hope you are going strong still!
Just stopped smoking weed since last night.. emotion going wild but I just breath and say we got this let’s gooo embracing this and thank u for this video 😊

@captainseech1655 How is it going?
Been smoking weed daily for 12 years, have cut down in the last week dramatically as I was smoking 3gs a day first day of no weed tomorrow going to smoke my last little bit now then I'm done 😅I know that sounds bad but I promise I'm ready, I'm fed up of being enslaved to this tiny plant, it's my life and it's sad as fuck I'm blessed to have the opportunitys in front of me and I will not let myself down, I'm glad I've found your page man ❤
I am equally glad to have you here!
You got this man. This My second day after 5 years hard smoking. Keep it up man! Clear the fog
@@03PaKhow is it going for you
I used to smoke literally any chance i got for about 8 years. As I've gotten older and gained responsibilities and expectations it's clear how painfully hard to manage it is. At this point i only smoke at night or on my days off, im like a functioning alcoholic, but I miss out on so much of my potential because of it. Ive been minimizing my use but i pray for the day i can kick it completely. I also pray for everyone else in this situation. It doesnt hurt to ask god for help.
Thanks for the video
Yea bro I went from smoking 24/7 to smoking only after work and weekends but I still felt like a loser bro .
I have 2 boys and my oldest has an idea about my addiction and it breaks my heart that I choose first to get high instead of playing with them
I’m on day 2 not going lie this shit is real but I’m staying strong
this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. My body is flipping out because wants it’s fixed I’m angry I’m irritable and I’m ready to snap on anyone that says the wrong thing to me or the right thing just say something and that’s enough But you know what I’m here for a reason so I’m gonna stand on business. Keep you guys updated.
how has it been? be real
Been smoking weed since I was 16years old
Have tried to quit weed multiple times the last time i quited was in 2022 & I was able stop smoking weed for a whole year…But Unfortunately i linked up with an old friend December 2023 to celebrate his birthday I smoked weed that day then like that I kept smoking everyday But 3 days ago I decided that I’m going to quit weed finally and I’m ready to cut off anyone that’s going to get me back to doing it….3 days no weed & still counting…Them withdrawal symptoms ain’t shit to me nomore because have been through worse of it🤞Wish me well on my sober journey🙏🏾
Update
So i used to be a daily user of weed and dabs, i just got out of a 5 month rehab program. Withdrawl sucks but sometimes it's necessary. These vids help. Thanks Doc.

September 8th, 7:12pm I am going cold turkey and quitting weed 🔥
Day 30 without weed. Your videos are my life line through this journey. Thank you
Bro tbh weed withdrawals aren’t that bad, the worst case scenario is you get a headache and you can’t sleep for maybe a few days so i suggest just stay the fuck up when you want to sleep trough the day to fix your sleep cycle I suggest getting sun early, now you prob won’t want to eat for a few days so just drink a whole bunch of water. After 1 week you will be back to normal. Depends on how much you abused the drug it will take longer to balance out but usually after 1 week you start feeling good, especially when your brain starts to dream and heal.
3 days sober used beer as a replacement but today i am having worst getting some motivation from your video and comments.
Smoking my last blunt rn I'm headed into the abyss yall pray for my strength been smoking since 12 I'm 29 now first time quitting
Udało się ?
I have a brother paralyzed from the waist down and it causes me a lot of depression and pain with it just being me and my mom I’m trying to quit weed but I’m literally dropping tears everyday trying to stay strong going on day 6
You sound much stronger than you realise you are. That's a massive situation your brother, mom and you are going through. Care giving is a special committment that tests us in many ways (my dad's disabled and its just me). You have my admiration wherever you are in your journey. It sounds corny, sorry if this is too much, but I believe in you...take care man
I quit alcohol and weed but now I’m heavily addicted to this guys videos. I watch them compulsively lol. I wonder what his views are on psychedelic abuse and addiction
Had to start all over again. Today is day 2 for me. I went cold turkey.
I’ve tried a few times and it’s harder than I thought..I’m constantly thinking how sick I am of having to rely on the weed to live my in a happy way and I feel like it’s just getting me by. I’m ready for the next chapter by living clean.
Goodness! I’ve smoked weed for 46 years - and loved it! Had a fabulous time and a magical career as an international, award-winning choreographer, working with the biggest names in the business. I’ve also been lightly stoned pretty much all day, every day. Loved it!
About eight or nine weeks ago, wondering what it would be like not being stoned all the time, I decided to stop smoking weed. (Actually, these last three years, I’ve been vaping it - with my Pax).
Well, I checked out a few videos on the subject, many of which led me to believe it was gonna be a though road ahead.
Not a bit of it. It’s honestly been so easy! I’ve hardly had any cravings or desire to be stoned - at all! Couldn’t believe it.
I guess my desire not to be stoned was, and still is, is bigger than my desire to be stoned. And I’m loving it. It’s like a heavy veil has been lifted. Like I’ve been given a whole, fabulous new life!
I’m not saying I’ll never smoke weed again. Certainly, if I go to a party and there’s a joint going round, I’ll have some - maybe. Or maybe I’ll buy myself a little bag for Christmas if I’ve a fancy. Can’t really see that happening, but . . .
So yeah, I’m just writing this to let people wondering about giving up for a bit, know, that for some people - even after 46 years of almost continually smoking weed, giving up was no big deal! I know we’re all different. Maybe you’ll have a try. See how it goes.
Love and peace . . . J x ☺️
Thnaks man I'm stoping cigarette and weed right now and I'm 2 weeks in. Your videos are super helpful
What drove me to quitting was health problems unfortunately.i was overdoing it a lot.smoked over 5gs for more than 2-3 years every day.i developed serious problems with acid reflux and i hadto quit because it wasnt managable anymore.the smoke is the devil.now i am 2 months weed free and i dont intend to smoke ever again.withdrawals are hell.insomnia,depression,bad temper,bad anxiety,all of it.even after 2 months.i use cbd oil from time to time to alleviate my struggle and it helps a lot.
Thanks bro currently going through it right now sucks a**.. but I have to go through it I would finish .5 grand or a gram every day or every other day. Never felt so dehydrated never felt such a panic mode or anything like geez I hate this.
well, I have to say...this was helpful for me. I 've telling myself that I'm going to stop smoking weed for months now and I just couldn't handle the withdrawal symptoms, but this video has made me understand the purpose behind those symptoms and that they are part of who we are for a good reason...which is to show and prove to us how substances affect our mental and physical health. Your videos are helpful man, never stop helping people...that's a very good thing to do.
I’m proud of u man I hope ur doing good
You are helping so many people, I can see your passion in your work ethic and I appreciate it.
Day 3 for me , not eating as much, really 1 meal a day, having hot cold flashes, but im coming along.
I’m starting to quit weed wish me luck ❤️
Its more easy to go with out a habit then addiction. Like when on nicotine gum they go with out the habit for some tame. But not the addiction If they can go a day or 2 with out something. Then it could more likely be a habit
Thank you Dr. Frank. I’m in need of help. I have to quit smoking pot and cigarettes. They are killing me!
I’m talking 45 years here, Doctor. Any hope?
Absolutely
There is always hope but it should come from within yourself
Addiction has a purpose to check out. And it works. You sound like you minimize the upside of addiction
Question I have 5 weeks that I stopped smoking weed cold turkey but sometimes o get rapid heart rate for no reason. Is this a common side effect again I smoked non stop for 6 years more less
Just quit, that’s all you need to do, (it’s not as easy as it sounds).
As for withdrawal, there is a degree of how much it can be, how much did you use, what is your fat percentage, how healthy are you living, there are so much factors that everyone experiences it differently.
One thing I’ve found out is that a lot of website mention that withdrawal is away within a few weeks, cannabis in your urine away in a few weeks, etcetera.
On an average it takes 3 months for your body to be cleared from it completely, not to mention the brain and receptors it has been bound to. Therefor there is no real time to mention when you will be free, but by time, you will experience freedom.
Tips, start a new or an old hobby, spoil yourself (you are saving money by quoting, spend it! You deserve it). Get hold on a different lifestyle, just go for it, and experience it!
Joining the military soon. Its been difficult going thru the withdrawal symptoms with the added anxiety. I really appreciate your advice!
Good luck soldier!
@@timskold-lx8gl thank you!
I am having such an anxious time. But I know I need to walk through it and feel it and learn what it's trying to tell me. I quit smoking tobacco in 2019 and it was the best thing I did but over the last 4 years I've really just replaced it with extra weed and it finally all came to a cliff edge moment. I need to push that big addiction monster off and feel what it's like to live as me. I want to be an artist but I stopped painting and drawing when I got high, i have let it steal so much from me. The withdrawal is so needed to help cement this but I cannot wait to be a month ahead already. Second by second, min by min I am getting there
This brought me to tears. This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you! ❤
I keep relapsing
My boyfriend is weed addicted since 3 year.He wants to leave weed.He even promised his mom and me lots of time but still he gets some trigger and goes with his friends to take weed.I tried my best to make him understand, he understood also again he forget when he gets the trigger.Today he told me to leave him as he want to cut from the world to get rid of this habbit . Should I leave him alone ? Also he said that he will be back if he gets changed.But I am unable to belive him because he tell lots of time that he will change but he was unable to do.What should I do to save him from this trap?I am completely shattered.Also he lied me if I ask that he had taken weed or not but after 2-3 days he says by himself that he has taken weed and he has lied me in last days...What sould I do okease give suggestions 😭😭😭💔💔I am shattered as I trust him all the time...Also I know that it's not hinself doing this , ut's his addiction of weed.Please suggest me how should I save him? I am helpless?😭😭😭😭He knows even the that this is ruining his life still he is unable to get over it😭😭
Holy shit. I’ve been wanting to quit for months but this just made me excited to try to go through withdrawals again
its been 30 days and I still sleep all day on bed. I don't feel good will it get better?
I have a lot of brain fog. and I can't sleep almost every alternative days on time. my sleep cycle is still not good. but I feel very good that I am able to get this long. thank you so much.
please comment if possible.
Sometimes it takes weeks don't give up ur doing this for the better but Gold has to be refined in the fire mate I'm sending prayers mate!!
stay strong
I broke my neck and back in 11 places paralyzed from the chin down they said I should have died that I'm lucky to be alive and that bed was my new home forever yet God had different plans. I can now walk and run in a way. Believe me please God still works miracles we all have our battles an I want u to know they're are some who will suffer with you to see you overcome and become a better you. Jesus christ is alive and well I'm living proof he still works miracles. He gave my 9 year old son the strength to swim his 190lb dad back to the beach a football field length out in the ocean. It's a true David and Goliath story.
It will take 3 months or so, trust me, hang in there. But you will adapt really well, and you will find out that the problem is smoking it every day and abusing it. If smoked only often it's actually really good.
take melatonin
i went to weed bc i already struggled sober mentally for years, i tried to heal myself with therapy and meds but my parents ruined that for me so i turned to the bad alternative. It actually helped me in so many ways ive been underweight for years, finally was able to get to healthy weight when i smoked. I was able to laugh and socialize so much better, I was able to just want to enjoy life. But bc of the good feeling it gave me I wanted to feel it all the time so I just started to abuse. I used it for doing everything to the point i feel like i cant live without it bc i keep thinking abt how i was without it and i was worse. so its like i know weed didnt ruin me mentally i was already mentally no right so i fear i cant fix myself sober bc i couldnt before? I just feel like im mentally just "disabled" the weed works as a medicine for me when i dont abuse it, but i cant stop myself from abusing it. So its either im sober and sad or high all the time. i just want to be able to enjoy being sober, i just want to be happy naturally but i dont ever remmeber a time i was actually happy sober.
I use Percy’s and oxys and the withdrawal is atrocious from that alone. I also have Been smoking weed over 5 years so this is going to be a tough one everyone wish me luck 😭😭
My biggest thing is boredom, everything i do is evolved around weed... and i dont know how to fight withdrawal symptoms
Today I’m going to quit, can’t wait to see this EASY progress ❤
Thanks so much I have just been having hardship thanks so much. You are so powerful please don't stop this healer gift 💚
I am very surprised at how addicted I am to weed, like i live in Canada and it is legal so buying it is like buying a pack of smoke's and it make it super hard!
Same here in Washington. it’s so hard and it’s so easy to get I kinda hate it
My main issue is I can’t sleep for shit 😂 at night I found a solution at first I was gonna buy melatonin gummies I use those for long flights but I said nah lemme keep things all natural so what I do is I’ll work out in my house to get my blood flowing and burn some energy to get tired I will do 50 sit-ups & then 50 push-ups then same thing when I wake up
I’ve been a daily smoker for a few years now but same thing, I blamed my depression. At this point I honestly feel like the terms “depression” and “anxiety” are soooooo overused. I’ve changed as a person physically and mentally through the whole time smoking, changed my diet drastically and lost almost 80lbs. I’ve climbed out of that depression and now I feel like a different person. So I’m ready to let this go as well and just move forward. I’m expecting these withdrawals to really mess with my head though.
i need to quit i cant go 24 hours without weed and i know that sounds like some fiend nasty stuff but its been so hard to quit ive smoked my whole life
This is my third time trying to quit. And i hope its the last. Im just glad i didnt get into harder stuff.
I love weed but you gotta have it in moderation in my opinion, you can enjoy a joint like a casual beer but if you drink beer everyday you’re a alcoholic same thing. I do find it strange how some people get mad withdrawal from weed tho I don’t think I’ve experienced any physical side effects from taking breaks even when I used to smoke more often.
Varies from person to person, I couldn't get addicted to alcohol if I tried but weed had me
I’ve been smoking weed for 22 years full time. First hit at 13, smoking daily from 15. I’m 37 this year, going to attempt to quit soon🤞
Day 1 after smoking every for years, withdrawal symptoms are at a high and not the high we want lol
First time without weed for a few months, feeling pretty shitty and struggling to sleep, gonna keep at it though 🙏
Cbd can really help you during this time, with stress, sleep, calmness
I’ve taken a break from smoking many times. I have never had withdrawal symptoms, well only one, when I smoke I don’t dream, but when I stop I have vivid dreams all night long. This was the main reason I kept smoking, but I’m going to ride it out. I don’t think I’m going to smoke weed anymore, I’m over it. I’m proud to say, I’m vice-less right now. I’m on a new level.
So glad I read thru the comments. I still smoke because I DON'T want to dream. I'm gonna give it my beat shot. Wish me luck.
I'm so brave I'm about to cold turkey nicotine and weed. I have to cold turkey or I'll never quit! I quit for 6 months and went back because i thought I was good and wasn't addicted but wow i was wrong. Now it's time to quit for real. It's going to be hard to get through work these next two weeks once i make it past two weeks i feel less irritable and rude
How’s it going 3 weeks in? I’m in the same boat.
Wish you both the best, exercise did help me. Start with light walks or shadow boxing. GOD Bless.
How did this go for you
Yo, we want results
I’ve been trying to trick my mind to stop smoking weed but I’ve never thought about it this way I hope this can be my wake up call
It's so fkn hard to stop. I've tried and tried and going to try again
You can do it 😎
You got this treat it like an abusive relationship and you will quit. I started exercising that helps not wanna smoke weed ever plus think about how $$$ you can save to take that vacation you always wanted 😁
You got this ! I’ve been trying to stop
Everyone reading this... you can do it 💪 I watch the doc daily to reassure iv got it and trust me you will feel like crappie but after 5 days I felt great... few sore heads
I didn't cough up crap... I forced myself to eat and drink
I do smoke cigarettes ( roll ups ) one at a time personally
I feel great almost 2 weeks in
Dreams are back
Sweating is part of the withdrawal process
Thanks doc
Been smoking since I was 19... now 37.
Smoking an 1/8 per day at the moment.
I don't want the PAIN so I just continue smoking because it HURTS.
Also, I don't know what to do with my time.
Have no interest in Working out or doing much of anything... So trying to stay active is hard.
All I feel like doing is smoking blunts and watching porn.......................That's very sad.
I don't even bother with woman anymore, because why would they be with a drug addict?
Bro you can do it, I’m struggling myself and I feel your reasons but bro it’s gone be worth it
you thinking you have no interests is weed’s fault.
week 2 baby
You made me wanna stop smoking I’ve tried a lot of times but I’m done now
I’m finna try and quit too, how’s it been?
I am a heavy user of weed I smoke every day for over a year as I write this I still have buds and money for more but I'm trying to save money and slowing down thanks for this😮
Yea it's no joke quiting weed I smoked from 1997 until 10/17/2022. Rite now im too the point where I can actually sleep good. I actually sleep better now than when I was getting high. Thanks DR. Frank. Great video, attitude and helping people like myself. 👍🏻🇺🇲
Yea congrats man. The thing is that when you sleep high it’s not real sleep, nothing beats natural sleep. I never ever slept not even 6 hours straight when I used to get high it was always knockout and wake up like 2 hours or 3 later so that says something.
@@iJuanGutierrez I can notice the difference last few days VIVID DREAMS! And great sleep. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
If I may ask, how’d you get to that point man? I’ve tried to quit a various amount of times. In the midst of me quitting, I always find it almost impossible to fall asleep at night without smoking. Without it, it gets very difficult to stop my my mind from racing
@@ThaHKBlower After about 5 to 7 days you fall asleep fine.
I needed to read this. October is when I needed to quit too, but didn’t. I didn’t think anyone would understand. Seeing you had smoked so long too, has given me courage and a glimpse at even the possibility of quitting, which had seemed so unrealistic until I saw your comment. Thank you. Thank you truly.
It's been 11 days and nothing!All in your head
Awful glassy eyes you got there.. sus. 😆
Been smoking marijuana for over 30 years. I'm now 54 years old, and trying to quit.
I am on day 3 of no alcohol and no weed. This is my 2nd attempt. I failed after just 2 weeks being sober (last time- just 2 weeks ago).
SUPER DIFFICULT! I noticed that both times I sweated profusely during sleep ( for the first 3 nights).
I think the sweating is (now) over... being on day 3 of the my 2nd attempt.
BOTTOM LINE... I AM TORN! I have lived for the past 35 years enjoying marijuana and alcohol.
On this note, I'd like to say that alcohol is RUINING my life.
I don't THINK weed is as bad; BUT THE FACT is that I love drinking when I'm high.
And over those 30 plus years, I've conditioned myself to LOVE doing ALL of my hobbies and daily functions while I was high.
I wonder If there are ANY persons who are able to live BETTER lives while smoking weed? And by BETTER, I mean BETTER than if they were sober?
WHAT TO DO?
Hey brother listen up..
Your new highs start with quitting. You won’t feel the success or benefits for at least 1 months. Stick with it. You’re going to see doors open you never knew existed. 54 is young. At least ur not stopping at 64. You’re going to reverse some of the damage you did in the next 10 years if you really pick up the exercise and get rid of the bad habits. Being sober and clearheaded is more fun just takes time to realize it
Also you can enjoy cannabis in edible form!! Get low dose edibles and take them after 420pm works best for me
I quit every couple of hours. I say this is my last time smoking EVERY TIME. I’ve been tryna quit for 2 years and I’ve smoked every single one of them. I know I can just say a bunch of things that every other smoker is going through as well but the anxiety, the crying for no fcking reason, the constant scrolling social media, insomnia, nausea and negative thoughts can all go away with a couple puffs? That seems more beneficial than harmful. That’s why I keep smoking.
And also, I know I can’t reach my potential if I don’t stop 🫠😭🤮
Draw is still bad for you but it’s a lot less bad than alcohol
4:48 - Hawk tuah! 😂
There's varying degrees of weed dependence.
The toughest to deal with is when you have a psychological dependence on a substance.
This usually comes from being an addict from a young age, i started smoking every day from age 12 until 34
Quit nicotine 2 years ago purely just stuck on weed. Don’t even enjoy being high anymore( mostly apart from proper nights out) and I don’t get any symptoms but I am unable to sleep.
Watching this as I smoke for motivation
I ready to begin my journey

Day 2 no smoking. I’ve quit for the 3rd or 4th time now and the withdrawal is awful every time, I’m just so ready to get back to normal. It’s so hard though. Life is so tough for everyone right now its easy to want to escape but I’m going to try to kick this shit for good
😂🎉🎉🎉 it's now been over 96 hours (4 days) since my last joint 😊 so far withdrawals have been pretty mild so far I can sleep pretty good still been eating salmon drinking herbal teas 🍵 😋 number 1 symptom I'm having that dullness for music kinda lost interest in music I hope that changes over time I'm a music fanatic 😊❤ I'm no stranger to quitting things gave up Alcohol, Meth,Cigarettes, and Vaping now I'm working on thc
Would anyone recommend vaping without nicotine? I’ve never had nicotine addiction and don’t smoke that. I’m trying to quit weed
I'm ready . To see what happens I'm already in cold sweats in the arm pits only .. I've been smoking weed for 25yrs
Me watching this high lmaoo
The reason I’m gonna quit weed is because weed has confined me more in myself rather than socializing or being even approachable in the gym. Specially, use it for my workouts, but it feels great. I always have an amazing workout when I’m high always but I feel less confident I cannot look people in the eye as I usually do and I just I just don’t feel good. You know I don’t feel strong. I don’t feel strong from the inside. You know what I’m saying like I feel like a beta male because I’m not able to hold my contact and I’m always little bit nervous and and I avoid getting stared by women at the gym I avoid looking at women that it gets weird, you know I think it’s OK but it’s not because when I’m sober I feel so natural and I’m typing all this when I’m high and it’s gonna be my last time because I have one more. I’m gonna smoke before gym
I can handle all the other symptoms, I just fn hate being bored in the evenings 😭 With weed I'm playing Banjo Kazooie, having a blast exploring virtual worlds...without it I'm mostly met with the malaise of "these worlds are empty, the challenges aren't challenging, they're just rote steps of 'push the stick this way, push this button', and none of this is very fun."
I realize the second one is probably the actual reality for me personally. I'm just really afraid of being bored and feeling like everything is pointless :( Any advice from anyone would be appreciated
New hobby time, learn a new skill or hit the gym man there’s always things to do find your purpose
@@DCshandle damn, you right. It's weird how we can convince ourselves that the way we've done it before is how it needs to be for ourselves.
Anhedonia from withdrawals is still a bitch, but at least it's temporary.
What I found over the course of my 27 years of life so far is that myself, and others tend to feel a lack of purpose, which I found seems to correspond with a lack of spirituality and connection to the source/God/your higher self/your angels, there are many ways to develop your intuition and your connection with your spirituality, by starting to work with crystals, and starting to set the intention to develop your intuition ❤
Do you recommend quitting one thing at a time for example cannabis first alcohol second adult media etc.
Step by step programmer
I have never had withdrawal from smoking weed and I have been smoking weed for 20 years lol infact when I decide to take breaks from smoking weed I feel great immediately
I currently have pneumonia and I’m trying not to smoke but I have☹️. I haven’t smoked as much as I would have but I’m going to stop today
I couldn’t sleep for two days after I stopped smoking. Then I got an edible which was terrible and that helped me move totally away from it
You can’t just quit cannabis cold turkey. I know a lot of people do and they finally get out of it a month later, the first few weeks are horrible, but you can’t come out of it unscathed unless you wean off of it.
Because cannabis is a psychoactive drug it is using dopamine and serotonin on a regular basis, which means your body is acclimated to having cannabis do all the dopamine and serotonin work for you. If you quit cold turkey it could cause some permanent effects because of the fact that it’s tampering with serotonin and dopamine just like heroin, like cocaine, etc. Psychedelic drugs are the most harmful to your serotonin and dopamine if you use it over a long period of time at high levels.
Here is my recommendation:
You have to stop smoking until the moment you feel depression weighing on you. That is a sign that your serotonin and dopamine are not able to take care of themselves, so you have to crutch them along with the cannabis, until your brain can sustain its levels. This process is going to suck just as bad as cold turkey, the only difference is you’re not ruining your gray matter. You’re not making yourself stupid in the long run basically. As time goes on, you’ll find yourself smoking once a day to fight off the depression, until one day you can go in entire day without smoking at all, and then that will be the sign that you can quit cold turkey.
Just don't pressurize and take withdrawal normally.. Trust me psychology is very powerful thing.. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
