Hell yeah brother! Went clean a few years ago. Haven't regretted it since. I wish you the best moving forward, as a clean man! I want to say this (from my perspective) to anyone out there using because they are depressed, unemployed or just any similar reason: Yeah, life has quite a few downs during the ups or sometimes it all feels down. But being clean doesn't really make it harder to handle the difficulties in life. You might tell yourself that when you use substances to "make it easier" but all you do is just pushing away your problems and they will, believe me, come back and get you even harder later. Coincidentally, after I got clean I found my new life partner. I know this for sure: Getting clean might make life SEEM harder at first, but it will get better and better, not saying it's a straight climb to the top, it might be a roller-coaster, but it will be WORTH fighting through it while being clean. Why? If you live a clean life, you'll also learn to handle problems in life much better, because you will have time and energy to reflect and plan ahead. I promise you, you'll thank yourself for it down the road.
Thank you for sharing your experience and encouragement Drasil! It's inspiring to see such a compassionate response! Keep pushing forward everyone and stay strong! You got this!
@@AnthonyApproved Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your video! Sometimes RUclips recommends a gem, this was one of them. It's important for people like us to not feel like we're doing this alone. Even if we live in different places, all over the world! So thank YOU for sharing this with us :)
way to open up brother. You got this. Just remember everything you've said if you ever start to slip up. But I highly doubt you'll slip up because you sound like you're extremely determined
Thank you Rolo! I'm very grateful for your message. If I only learned and took away one thing from my drug use. It's that I should always keep my word to myself. I appreciate your comment!
im 16 and its so incredibly difficult to quit weed. having friends who do it aswell only adds on. Nearing the beginning it was the magic solution for my problems but now i just do it to do it, its destroyed my motivation.
Thank you both for leaving a comment and sharing your experience. It's evident that both of you have had similar experiences with weed and the challenges it poses. The realization that weed has transitioned from being a solution to a problem and has affected motivation is a significant insight. Taking up a different activity like yoga is worth entertaining. Finding healthier alternatives and ways to refocus your time and energy can be key in breaking free from the habit. For me, exercise and editing was my outlet. Remember that it's never too late to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle and regain control of your motivation. It may feel lonely at times, but the journey to self-improvement is worth the effort. Surround yourself with positive influences and activities that nourish your well-being. Stay resilient and believe in your ability to overcome this challenge. You have the strength to make positive changes and lead a fulfilling life!
@@AnthonyApproved thank you for the thoughtful and inspiring message! ive been focusing on trying to only use before the gym, its my little excuse. but i realize i just have to stop.
You're taking positive steps by limiting weed use to before the gym, but recognizing the need to stop altogether is a crucial realization. Remember, you have the power to make this change. Set specific goals and find healthier more meaningful coping mechanisms. Surround yourself with supportive people and stay committed to your goal. Believe in your ability to make positive changes. You've got this!@@hawgslam4
im currently kinda struggling with weed too and im 16, I think im already addicted, its been pretty hard even to just lower the consumption but im trying my best to stop btw im really happy for you i hope i will stop too im really proud of u 💪
You’re 16. You could stop now and never be too deep. Youre only getting your foot wet. I started right at that age and if I could go back in time and change one thing in life it would be to not smoke. It would have kept me in a different friend crowd, I would have gotten better grades, had a better relationship with family. All of this matters at a younger age because it will determine how the rest of your life plays out in the future. It’s hard to change something that stems from decisions you made in your youth. That is why it is so valuable. Not to mention the effects that drug usage has on the brain, especially a much younger and still forming brain. When you are younger your brain cannot understand that. You think you are invincible. Save yourself while you can. I’m 25 now. My life wasn’t even that terrible in comparison to other people. I was smart in school, I didn’t fail. In comparison to myself, the life I could have had- without weed - it’s a life I’ll only dream and long for the rest of my life. It’s not about weed only. There is so much more. Think about the butterfly effect. Weed puts you in a negative lane. It will be harder to be the guy that doesn’t smoke, drink, etc. - Imagine 10 years from now you will be a damn unicorn. Purple Skull Fortnite Glowing Eyes Skin. Legendary. Someone who harnessed their willpower, strength, money, and focus. Make your parents proud. Yourself.
@@LAD1149 man i never looked at it this way.. thank you for telling me this i hope the best for you and your family 💪 ill do my best to stop, there should be more people like you around!
Thank you for sharing your perspective and personal experience. Your advice is incredibly valuable, I hope this young man feel's more at ease to face his usage. It's very important for young people to consider the impact of their choices on their future. I feel the effect's of my bad decisions from years ago still to this day. Your words serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of making positive decisions for oneself and one's future. Thank you for sharing your insight Lad!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's brave of you to acknowledge your struggle with weed. It's not easy to confront these challenges, but the fact that you're trying to lower your consumption and ultimately stop is a significant step in the right direction. Your determination to overcome this is commendable, and with patience and determination, you can work towards a healthier path for yourself. Stay strong, and know that there are people cheering you on and supporting you in your journey to make positive changes in your life. You've got this!
