I've been smoking weed since I was 14... I'm now 36.... I've been trying over and over to quit the past 7 years.... your videos are the only thing that is working for me... I can feel a real change in my mindset and I now know I will never go back.
Currently on day 4 without smoking weed been smoking dabs pretty much all day everyday for about 4 months now and my tolerance is so high decided to try taking a tolerance break. Didn’t realize how bad the withdrawal would be for me. Been binging your videos and it really helped me realize that I should quit all together forever
@@AddictionMindsetyesterday I went out with my sister and she had her stiizy with her. Could not handle the cravings at that point thought I would be fine if I just took one hit. Didn’t do anything so I ended up hitting it all day yesterday and still not really feel anything. Did seem to get my appetite back tho. Will this reset my withdrawals ??
@@AliceKhoAlice marijuana is not that bad if you are hitting it like that , twice a day is considered moderation if anything it’s helping you get your appetite back and that shouldn’t be ignored because that is a medical benefit. The truth is thc/cbd help encourage homeostasis between the cells this mean that they start to talk to each other and do what they need to do to maintain equilibrium! If anything the thc is helping you! Remember anything can be bad for you if you abuse it!
I am scared like all hell. I have been lost in my head for almost ten years smoking 10-20 blunts with tobacco a day (the way we usually smoke them in Europe). I have no work, no daily tasks and a boyfriend who is just as addicted as I am. But for the first time in my life I feel like I am ready to tackle this battle. Please wish me luck ❤
Hey Doc Frank, just wanted to drop a line and say that I am successfully over 100 days sober and I wanted to express my gratitude for these videos. They helped me tremendously. Thank you so much.
I remember seeing your videos last year and trying so hard to quit smoking. Today, I’m almost 1 month being sober with no much withdrawal or cravings. It took me about a year to ‘restructure’ my mind and I almost gave up (quitting) because I kept on smoking every day of my life even though I kept wanting to stop. I smoked 3-10 blunts daily but today I’m super super proud of myself because even bring around smokers, I’ve trained my mind to say no whenever and I’m so confident in myself right now that I quit smoking, drinking or drugs for good. And tbvh it feels way better than being high. I no longer see or hear things, no longer have paranoid, anxiety or depression. And I even sleep way better now unlike when I was always stunned and would always wake 2-3 times in the night to puff some weed. Thank you so much for helping us all! If you are reading this trust me you can stop because me too never thought possible. ❤
Only joking bro, you’ve done way better than me. How’s it going?been nine months since that comment. Things ain’t changed for me lol, hope it’s a better tale for you.
Day 2 for me and the struggle is real. My stomach is in knots, I’ve been in a constant state of anger. But these videos have been on repeat. Thank you so much
after a week your body will feel back to normal first week, I had flu like symptoms after a week I was able to eat had a huge appetite then the rest is resetting you brain 3 months in and i still have a little bit of brain fog.
@@fonz1116I noticed this, and you’re not worthless! I’m on day two myself (not my first time at day 2 but can’t let that get in the way of my mindset) I hope you’re doing ok and maybe take this as a sign you’re on the right path - good luck (to us both!) my friend ✊🏼
I've been smoking it 30 years and in that time I've maybe had 4 months off it about 10 years back ,I didn't think I could do it but thanks to these videos and reading the comments i'm on day 27 still haven't had my vivid dreams yet but they will come as they did last time but took about a month for them to start , I've got a lot of bad stuff my mind will have to process but still feeling better than I was smoking , I'll not lie its a real challenge but lets keep at it.
i’m officially one week in with no marijuana 🙌🏿 it’s crazy that i dream every singe night now, like actually crazy bro. it just sucks that i’m super tired all the time & don’t have an appetite. BUT i don’t want to go through this again, so i’m done. good luck everyone!
I’m on day 3 no weed I had a dream of this cute girl from highdchool on FaceTime with my cousin and I was pissed he was talking to her like they were dating or some shit😂 I haven’t fucking talked to that girl like once in 4 years
I’m on day 5-6 and it’s been TOUGH for lack of better words however your videos have helped me get to this point , I’d smoke a gram to 2 grams of top shelf dabs highest potency buds ALL DAY EVERYDAY since I was in 8th grade and medical marijuana was made legal in Colorado it’s been years and my body and brain are going crazy sweating all day having to take multiple showers also gagging and losing weight cause not much appetite I have mostly all symptoms and they come and go, at some points in the day I actually feel like I took a dab. Thank you though man - also quitting multiple things at once Wanted to add that you and your program are a heaven sent. Truly believe that Dr I know you know but from me to you, YOU are helping me after almost 20 years of smoking weed non stop I thought I was ok cause I wasn’t using crack or heroin like my parents through out my childhood and teen years. I feel so blinded by the lies about weed I really loved it and spread misinformation. Thank you for your correct information.
1-2 grams a day for 2.5 years. Totally lost all control. Day 4 today. The sweating and cold sweats are real but I’m always cold. Having very bad bowel movements. No hunger. Lots of nausea and vomiting. Weed is not good for you idc what they say. These 4 days have been Hell and have been mind blowing. What is crazy, is that as of yesterday I’m 1095 alcohol free (3 years). That was tough but this week has been even more difficult? Drugs and alcohol are bad for you. Idc what anyone says. There is no good in them. My body’s response is all the proof I need. Anyhow - thank you for your videos. Have been listening here and there the last couple of months. The weed was telling me it was time and I’m listening. God bless you
127 day vape free, 144 days weed free. I love your videos, I still listen to them even though I’m at a great place. Each day free from drugs is an accomplishment. I thank you so much.
Yall got this. We can all do it. God brought me to you, these videos and I hated mysef for a long time for needing weed, not being able to be happy without it, u helped me realize i can do it. Today was my first day. I know I can do it so im gonna do it. God bless you!
8 days sober after 8 years of use and it was the best decision I made… currently getting emotional about everything and I’m never like this. First 3-5 days horrible nausea, insomnia and no appetite. But now I have energy all day and my head is clear. This is your sign to stop and know that you can do it
quitted 5 days ago, after 15 years of smoking from morning to evening. Just wanted to thank you. You've helped so much. I've got no cravings, which is special, because I tried so many times before and I always craved like a thirsty b*tch. I need to stop the abo from you, because I don't want weed anymore in my life. But before that, I really want to send you hugs (if wanted) and big thank you's! You've saved me. I'm feeling so much better right now and I've got the feeling I really did it this time. Keep going helping others with that!
This channel is really helping me; hard to talk to people about cannabis addiction because most people around me haven’t experienced it to any degree, and almost mock it as a consequence. But to me, it is very real! Thanks for your content.
Day 45 for me a lot of the points you go through are the same realizations ive had that are keeping me sober. its especially hard for me because my chronic pain makes it easy to rationalize my use but i have to be honest that its doing more harm than good. Loving this series thanks for making it free.
@@arcadeblast4752 im doing good i actually got a way better job because im not stoned all the time and am making a lot of improvements in my life. today is day 76.
Preparing myself to quit. I'm actually excited and nervous but I have quit harder drugs and alcohol and cigarettes I been slowly removing bad habits and replacing them with positive activities. Your videos truly inspire me and actually helped me decide not to pick up more smoke today 😊
on day 5 and i cant believe how quickly i feel better! i dont feel like an idiot when im speaking because i can actually collect my thoughts and remember things. and zero binge eating, as i would normally stuff myself to the point of sickness every single night. and no paranoia! at night when i would be stoned, i would always be convinced a man was in my house to try to k!ll me, but i haven't felt that in 5 nights now! in a lot of ways, its easier than its ever been before. but this is also probably my 100th time trying to quit- but something feels different now. i dont even want it!
Thank you for your channel and this advice, like people below I have these videos on repeat right now trying to get through 15 years of pretty much non stop smoking. 15 years of non stop not dealing with demons, that aren't even there anymore yet the way to 'manage' them is, and it's been eating away at me more than the demons ever did!
It's been about 1 month since I stopped both alcohol and cannabis (medical). Even though I've been sick with a cold for going on two weeks I still feel amazing mentally. I've been getting compliments at work from management and I've even noticed I've stopped checking my phone constantly. Being sober is so rewarding
It’s crazy cause I’m not addicted to weed I feel like it’s another word for it , I’ve been smoking everyday of my life since the age of 13 I’m 27 now and it’s like weed was a part of me a big part in the person I was , everything you said is accurate I was a slave to comfortability, I recently decided to become a new person one who’s safe space Is rolling up its too many alternative positive habits to have instead I’ve only been smoke free for 4 days and I’ve already been sleeping better actually having dreams and when I work out it’s weird cause I feel good almost like the gratification from rolling up
15:49 that is me. I’ve been struggling with sobriety for many years now probably 6 been a daily user of cannabis since I was about 17 I’m 30 now. I have a home and 2 beautiful boys but I still can’t pull myself out I’ve quit on a few occasions some on will power alone and about 2 years ago I went around 30 days thanks to you. But here i am still addicted
Man I love your realism and truth.... I have always thought when alcoholic's can use the "disease" as an excuse for their own pity party... and in part one, you said hey if you don't think it is YOUR responsibility, then stop watching. I had that problem also, and was able to kick it, the 50/50's have been my weakness and crutch, so I am doing the best to get this out of my body... and then look forward to deal with the ups and downs.... which has always been where I caved. You Rock Dr. Frank.
And yes my dreams are starting to amp up , im having dreams where i was a child again , i hate it cause i have a three year old thats my life and when i go back there in my dreams my daughter feels so far so dar away its scary . This is one of the hardest things ive ever done , been a daily smoker since i was 15 im 38 and just cant imagine seeing myself takkng bong hits and my daughter coming home to see me just sitting there getting high , i cant let that happen ! I wont !
Today i complete 1 week free And this is one of the hardest things i ever did, i really dont know how to deal with my emotions yet, but with time i will learn. And thanks for the support, you are being the best help in this journey, gets easier knowing what is really happening in my mind and body (Sorry for my english)
I also have issues handling my emotions, but I've found that the square breathing method really helps when feelings get out of hand. Hope you are still going strong u inspire me!
I’m on week 2 and my biggest struggle is the constant boredom even when I’m doing “fun” things and feeling of meaninglessness. These are the feelings that got me to smoke heavily in the first place so I wonder if this is the withdrawals or just my baseline that weed helped me with.
Thank you for this! I've been smoking and drinking for 20+ years. I'm 5 days sober. This information is vitally important for the battle with addiction
i definitely resonate with the fear of getting back all that time and energy and the fear that i will continue to not accomplish my goals without having the excuse of addiction
Dude you are saving lives, thank you❤ im 42 and I've smoked weed since i was 16. I have only tried to stop a few times and couldnt get past day 3. Im currently tappering way down to aviod extreme withdrawl for me to stay successful. Thanks to you and your videos im pretty sure i can do it this time. Hearing that these shitty symptoms go away is helping me realize i can do it. Yes it will be uncomfortable but it is possible. These shitty emotions will get better and provide calm in time. Hang in there long time users, we can and will get to the good side. I never thought i could do this and im realizing WE can❤
I have abused weed in the past and it was controlling my life. I was experiencing some health issues (unrelated) and stopped smoking for 1 year and 2 months. It was a blessing in disguise as I don’t know how I would have quit otherwise. In November I found an old vape I must have forgotten to get rid of. I had a moment of weakness and smoked it… which lead to me purchasing more and smoking daily… sometimes all day for the past 2 months. I’m disappointed in myself and I regret it but I am giving myself grace and this time I’m done for good. I’ve become more self aware and accepted that I can’t smoke in moderation. Finding your videos has helped me along with God. It has been 24hrs since I last smoked.. I’m experiencing the withdrawal symptoms and they are awful but it is worth it. Thank you for changing my perspective on the withdrawal… it is suffering with a purpose, my body is healing. I CAN do this! And so can YOU!
Part 1 made me feel genuinely hopeful, Part 2 I felt bitter and hopeless and empty. I'll try part 3 tomorrow morning, but I think I may be one of those completely hopeless cases you mentioned.
Pretty easy I’m here to get tips on the withdrawal process bc night sweats and dreaming is a real thing and make me feel like something else is going on but almost 2 weeks in and haven’t had any cravings love this channel and how you guys come here to give testimonials
I’ve been through this time and time again trying to quit but every time I succumb to my anxiety and depression and say screw it what’s the point. I turned 21 last week and feel more empty and and hopeless than ever. It feels like I wasted my teenage years broken trying to fill a void and I’m just completely empty feels like I’m going nowhere I have no purpose but once I set down all the substances the thoughts get overwhelming and I just break down. Im gonna keep fighting tho. Thank you for what you do. You give me hope.
Currently I am in 2 weeks long relapse after 3 months being sober in a row. I was not ready to face difficulties starting new relationships. I am full of resolve to end this relapse, because staying clean was pretty amazing
Frank your videos all absolutely amazing. Ive learned so much from u i think alot more then most people would understand but maybe thays just me. I really appreciate u putting in your time to help others to get themselves out of addiction and just living a byter life for yourself. You are a fucking phenomenal man. I have so much respect for you! Love ya brother❤❤❤
Still here these two videos are definitely helping so much thank you I’ve been trying to quit nicotine and caffeine for a year and a half and it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. So thank you these videos are really helping
18 years of Smoking weed and now 7 years daily around 2 Gramm thousands of Euros blown in the Wind Today is day one ive Been watching videos After lying to myself for years and im Sick of it I Have 2 beautiful daughters and a wonderful girlfriend it is worth it! Thank you for beeing honest and trying to help! After seeing im Not alone Reading the comments i feel hope and i know i can do it ! Keep up the work you Are helping people I will Keep you updated with the Progress 👊🏾
The fear of responsibility/potentiality is hard to describe and understand. I think it's the work it takes to become the best version of yourself, and fighting the urge to fall back on excuses and becoming a victim of circumstance.
I smoked weed 24 years I was 12 now I'm 36 quitting weed was the best thing I did in my life had total 8 months sober and I turned to CBD until I was totally ready to stop your channel is amazing Respect 🙂❤️
Been smoking for xx amount of years. The past 3 days I have felt like death. Been smoking bud in cigarellos. Tonight I bit the bullet and finished off the last that I had. Cold turkey starting tomorrow morning. It is 2:48am and can’t sleep but it’s what I’m willing to go through to getting sober. Weed is all fun and games but till your body had enough you’ll know.
Dang man, thanks for making these videos. While you were talking about Grit, I realized that your definition of Grit is surprisingly close to the definition of addiction… so having that realization is helping me reframe what it means to be an addict, and how those same traits that drive my addiction can be beneficial.
I consder myself to be many things, but a recovering addict to opiates/heroin, is one of those things. If i forget that im a recovering addict, it would be easier for my mind to trick me into using again. But, i know that i have an addictive personality, so i cannot just "try" sonething, or, " just use this one time, " so I try to never forget where i came from, bc i don't ever want to go back to that place. I dont the break down of controlling our emotions. I didnt think it was possible, i tend to be very sensitive and emotional at times. Good luck to everyone wanting/trying to quit marijuana, or any other substance!
Didn’t realize how dependent I was until I got pregnant and wasn’t able to quit. The withdrawals are horrible. I have 2 children right now ages 9 & 7 and have been smoking since maybe 6 years ago daily with a few brakes here and there. At most like 4 month brake but this time around it’s been difficult to not hit my pen. I’ve noticed I have low patience and a short fuse with my children when withdrawing. I feel so guilty and horrible & It keeps me in this cycle.
It has only been 5 days since I quit smoking weed. It feels so good to be hungry again because weed (completely) killed my appetite. And it feels so good to not be constantly coughing and peeing in my pants. 😂TRUTH I haven’t been coughing at all. It’s been great.!!!! 🎉 😅 Am I alone here? I finally have the natural munchies! Maybe now I can gain weight and muscle mass!
100% Day 40 here, lots of time and opportunities means no more excuses. Before it was on the weed, now it’s on me. Btw, thanks Doc Frank for what you do!
What’s funny is I talk to people about that fear of success all the time I’m really good at giving people advice that I don’t take myself lol I just cut out a bunch of stuff all at once including caffeine. Keep me in your prayers guys explaining this to somebody else, I always put it as the mindset you get really comfortable hitting bottom and then just getting back up relapsing and getting back up relapsing and getting back up and it becomes a habit, you know at least I can do this but you’re not sure how high you can actually fly and the better and more successful you come to get wary and the only thing you know is if you throw it all away, you can for sure get up again. It’s a sick weird psychological issue. I dealt with her a long time and to be honest I’m still dealing with.
This would be a really good guide if I was addicted to weed and wanted and needed help to quit. I've never even tried weed before and I'm not addicted to it. I am addicted to nicotine and I want and need help to quit. Please make videos for people addicted to nicotine. I feel like that would help me. I thought one of this channel's goals was to help people quit nicotine.
12 weeks clean today, and I started looking at the bud varieties I might indulge in. I am so much more stable now though, and there is a lot of good about that. Being clean is kind of precious to me now, I really do not want to get dirty again, because I know it will end up in the same place, beating myself up with it, as I always have; I can't just have me a taste, and go on, so I had better hold on to my sobriety....... God, let me love you, so I can let you love me. I know I can get closer to you Lord without my over ejaculated dopamine red eyed buzz bomb.
That fear that “maybe I’ll be better off without and be right” is definitely demonic and self-harming and egotistical as far as my take goes. Why would a human, who cares about themselves, ever purposefully press that on themselves? I definitely experience that. Like when you said, I don’t wanna say NO forever, but I also don’t feel comfortable with seeing me STILL SAYING YES 10 years from now.
I have inattentive adhd. Therefore my dopamine levels are naturally lower. I wasnt aware that id become dependent so quickly. Ive only been using medical marijuana for 8 months and I already want to quit😂 I feel miserable and dull if i dont smoke. I cant wait to be able to go throughout my day without itching to roll a j🙏🏼
i three weeks i'm gonna run 100 kilometers. been running most my life, longest was 50K. i entered the race cuz it's my life long dream to run a 100K and (in my case) like quitting an addiction, i'm never ready for it. i entered now to get my mind into stopping smoking at which i have failed week after week. now, three weeks before the race i'm doubting if it's even smart to stop now or is it better to wait till after the race, thinking of all the side effects i will go through right before the race.. will i be totally exhausted at the start line? if i stop now, i should have benefits three weeks from now during the race right..?.. i smoke weed and tobacco so today the idea is to stop the day after tomorrow (tuesday). one idea is to only stop weed and quit smoking at a more convenient time. or should i stop all smoking, have a couple bad weeks and then race?
Every time I quit I relapse, mainly because I work in sales. The mental drop makes my sales drop. I almost got fired the last time I quit. This shit sucks. As of now I only use once a week. I want to quit but my digestive health sort of needs it so that’s yet another setback.

Day 4 today. The sweating and cold sweats are real but I’m always cold. Having very bad bowel movements. No hunger. Lots of nausea and vomiting.
Weed is not good for you idc what they say. These 4 days have been Hell and have been mind blowing.
What is crazy, is that as of yesterday I’m 1095 alcohol free (3 years). That was tough but this week has been even more difficult? Drugs and alcohol are bad for you.
Idc what anyone says. There is no good in them. My body’s response is all the proof I need.
Anyhow - thank you for your videos. Have been listening here and there the last couple of months. The weed was telling me it was time and I’m listening.
God bless you
127 day vape free, 144 days weed free. I love your videos, I still listen to them even though I’m at a great place. Each day free from drugs is an accomplishment. I thank you so much.
8 days sober,
I greatly benefited from your videos explaining the withdawal symptoms and timelines.
Thanks Dr Frank.
Yall got this. We can all do it. God brought me to you, these videos and I hated mysef for a long time for needing weed, not being able to be happy without it, u helped me realize i can do it. Today was my first day. I know I can do it so im gonna do it. God bless you!
Thrilled to have you here. Welcome to day one! We are saying a prayer for ya 🙏😎
How are you now
8 days sober after 8 years of use and it was the best decision I made… currently getting emotional about everything and I’m never like this. First 3-5 days horrible nausea, insomnia and no appetite. But now I have energy all day and my head is clear. This is your sign to stop and know that you can do it
quitted 5 days ago, after 15 years of smoking from morning to evening. Just wanted to thank you. You've helped so much. I've got no cravings, which is special, because I tried so many times before and I always craved like a thirsty b*tch.
I need to stop the abo from you, because I don't want weed anymore in my life. But before that, I really want to send you hugs (if wanted) and big thank you's! You've saved me. I'm feeling so much better right now and I've got the feeling I really did it this time. Keep going helping others with that!
This channel is really helping me; hard to talk to people about cannabis addiction because most people around me haven’t experienced it to any degree, and almost mock it as a consequence. But to me, it is very real! Thanks for your content.
Day 45 for me a lot of the points you go through are the same realizations ive had that are keeping me sober. its especially hard for me because my chronic pain makes it easy to rationalize my use but i have to be honest that its doing more harm than good. Loving this series thanks for making it free.
Update? How’s it going. … wow 45 days is a long time congrats
@@arcadeblast4752 im doing good i actually got a way better job because im not stoned all the time and am making a lot of improvements in my life. today is day 76.
I’m honestly in less pain and less inflamed.
Preparing myself to quit. I'm actually excited and nervous but I have quit harder drugs and alcohol and cigarettes I been slowly removing bad habits and replacing them with positive activities. Your videos truly inspire me and actually helped me decide not to pick up more smoke today 😊
How are you doing with not smoking?
You are a lifesaver. You have no idea how much your videos help people in need. Bless you and your existence
on day 5 and i cant believe how quickly i feel better! i dont feel like an idiot when im speaking because i can actually collect my thoughts and remember things. and zero binge eating, as i would normally stuff myself to the point of sickness every single night. and no paranoia! at night when i would be stoned, i would always be convinced a man was in my house to try to k!ll me, but i haven't felt that in 5 nights now!
in a lot of ways, its easier than its ever been before. but this is also probably my 100th time trying to quit- but something feels different now. i dont even want it!
How are you now 11mths later?
Thank you for your channel and this advice, like people below I have these videos on repeat right now trying to get through 15 years of pretty much non stop smoking. 15 years of non stop not dealing with demons, that aren't even there anymore yet the way to 'manage' them is, and it's been eating away at me more than the demons ever did!
It's been about 1 month since I stopped both alcohol and cannabis (medical).
Even though I've been sick with a cold for going on two weeks I still feel amazing mentally.
I've been getting compliments at work from management and I've even noticed I've stopped checking my phone constantly.
Being sober is so rewarding
Week 5 after 15 years of chronic use
I was smoking since i was 15 im 38 day two sober , really appreciate these videos .
Day eight mysterious playa
@dust4696 I just reach day 12 are you still holding strong?
It’s crazy cause I’m not addicted to weed I feel like it’s another word for it , I’ve been smoking everyday of my life since the age of 13 I’m 27 now and it’s like weed was a part of me a big part in the person I was , everything you said is accurate I was a slave to comfortability, I recently decided to become a new person one who’s safe space Is rolling up its too many alternative positive habits to have instead I’ve only been smoke free for 4 days and I’ve already been sleeping better actually having dreams and when I work out it’s weird cause I feel good almost like the gratification from rolling up
15:49 that is me. I’ve been struggling with sobriety for many years now probably 6 been a daily user of cannabis since I was about 17 I’m 30 now. I have a home and 2 beautiful boys but I still can’t pull myself out I’ve quit on a few occasions some on will power alone and about 2 years ago I went around 30 days thanks to you. But here i am still addicted
Preparing for day 1....again.
32 year weed smoker. This video was great for my road to recovery. God bless you!
Man I love your realism and truth.... I have always thought when alcoholic's can use the "disease" as an excuse for their own pity party... and in part one, you said hey if you don't think it is YOUR responsibility, then stop watching. I had that problem also, and was able to kick it, the 50/50's have been my weakness and crutch, so I am doing the best to get this out of my body... and then look forward to deal with the ups and downs.... which has always been where I caved. You Rock Dr. Frank.
🙏🙏thank you for being here and supporting the community/ channel we have here
And yes my dreams are starting to amp up , im having dreams where i was a child again , i hate it cause i have a three year old thats my life and when i go back there in my dreams my daughter feels so far so dar away its scary . This is one of the hardest things ive ever done , been a daily smoker since i was 15 im 38 and just cant imagine seeing myself takkng bong hits and my daughter coming home to see me just sitting there getting high , i cant let that happen ! I wont !
Today i complete 1 week free
And this is one of the hardest things i ever did, i really dont know how to deal with my emotions yet, but with time i will learn.
And thanks for the support, you are being the best help in this journey, gets easier knowing what is really happening in my mind and body
(Sorry for my english)
we quit one the same day, im one week in too!! we can do this!
Letsgo!
I also have issues handling my emotions, but I've found that the square breathing method really helps when feelings get out of hand. Hope you are still going strong u inspire me!
@@diegoleguizamo4702 Im still strong :D. Thank you
and keep it up!
Day 17. Going strong. Thanks dr Frank
Thanks for the videos you're making brotha. God bless all of us
I’m on week 2 and my biggest struggle is the constant boredom even when I’m doing “fun” things and feeling of meaninglessness. These are the feelings that got me to smoke heavily in the first place so I wonder if this is the withdrawals or just my baseline that weed helped me with.
I would reassess with some more time maybe at day 90-120
How ya doing girl?
I’m doing so much better now!
@@noorqueen99love to hear that!
You're one of the first to respond positively after five months to the question "how are you doing now?" This gives us hope. Good for you!
Thank you for this! I've been smoking and drinking for 20+ years. I'm 5 days sober. This information is vitally important for the battle with addiction
i definitely resonate with the fear of getting back all that time and energy and the fear that i will continue to not accomplish my goals without having the excuse of addiction
This channel is the main thing I listen to when on my long walks.
Day one of not smoking thc after a year,thanks for the help!
Welcome to day one
Day 1 coming right up 🙏🏼 pray for me ❤
I want to quit smoking, what is helping me is just im growing out of it, don't smoke that much. Thank you for the tips!!!!!
yup, many will simply "grow up and out"
Dude you are saving lives, thank you❤ im 42 and I've smoked weed since i was 16. I have only tried to stop a few times and couldnt get past day 3. Im currently tappering way down to aviod extreme withdrawl for me to stay successful. Thanks to you and your videos im pretty sure i can do it this time. Hearing that these shitty symptoms go away is helping me realize i can do it. Yes it will be uncomfortable but it is possible. These shitty emotions will get better and provide calm in time. Hang in there long time users, we can and will get to the good side. I never thought i could do this and im realizing WE can❤
This has helped me tremendously. Thank you
You are helping me more than you might know. Thank you brother 🙏🏼
Anytime! Thanks for the kind words
I have abused weed in the past and it was controlling my life. I was experiencing some health issues (unrelated) and stopped smoking for 1 year and 2 months. It was a blessing in disguise as I don’t know how I would have quit otherwise. In November I found an old vape I must have forgotten to get rid of. I had a moment of weakness and smoked it… which lead to me purchasing more and smoking daily… sometimes all day for the past 2 months. I’m disappointed in myself and I regret it but I am giving myself grace and this time I’m done for good. I’ve become more self aware and accepted that I can’t smoke in moderation. Finding your videos has helped me along with God. It has been 24hrs since I last smoked.. I’m experiencing the withdrawal symptoms and they are awful but it is worth it. Thank you for changing my perspective on the withdrawal… it is suffering with a purpose, my body is healing. I CAN do this! And so can YOU!
I love listening to your voice going through my withdrawals 😢🥰 it calms me down.
I very much appreciate your non judgmental and supportive insights and knowledge . You are being of great service. Thank you.
Am half way through.... loving it ❤...Regret is the most deceptive
Part 1 made me feel genuinely hopeful, Part 2 I felt bitter and hopeless and empty. I'll try part 3 tomorrow morning, but I think I may be one of those completely hopeless cases you mentioned.
I hope you can make it . I’m trying for day one so far not smoking
“All I can control is my reaction to circumstances I have most likely placed myself in.” Choice.
Pretty easy I’m here to get tips on the withdrawal process bc night sweats and dreaming is a real thing and make me feel like something else is going on but almost 2 weeks in and haven’t had any cravings love this channel and how you guys come here to give testimonials
I’ve been through this time and time again trying to quit but every time I succumb to my anxiety and depression and say screw it what’s the point. I turned 21 last week and feel more empty and and hopeless than ever. It feels like I wasted my teenage years broken trying to fill a void and I’m just completely empty feels like I’m going nowhere I have no purpose but once I set down all the substances the thoughts get overwhelming and I just break down. Im gonna keep fighting tho. Thank you for what you do. You give me hope.
I need to focus on healing myself internally. I’m listening as I’m typing and you keep speaking more and more truth I need to hear.
Glad to have you here! And there is always hope, just have to have some faith.
I understand the fear of quitting. On day two here. Thanks for your advice!
Thank you man everything you're saying I can ressonate with. This helps a lot!
You are so welcome
Yes Dr Frank, we do understand the fear of responsibility... 😪you put it really really well!!
Currently I am in 2 weeks long relapse after 3 months being sober in a row.
I was not ready to face difficulties starting new relationships. I am full of resolve to end this relapse, because staying clean was pretty amazing
Thank you so much. I am a great mother, I am not an addict. Day 4
Frank your videos all absolutely amazing. Ive learned so much from u i think alot more then most people would understand but maybe thays just me. I really appreciate u putting in your time to help others to get themselves out of addiction and just living a byter life for yourself. You are a fucking phenomenal man. I have so much respect for you! Love ya brother❤❤❤
I watched part 1
And let’s go
Because I convinced myself a gradual approach was better… but you challenged this in so many ways
Still here these two videos are definitely helping so much thank you I’ve been trying to quit nicotine and caffeine for a year and a half and it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. So thank you these videos are really helping
1qqqq1q❤😂😊
18 years of Smoking weed and now 7 years daily around 2 Gramm thousands of Euros blown in the Wind
Today is day one ive Been watching videos After lying to myself for years and im Sick of it
I Have 2 beautiful daughters and a wonderful girlfriend it is worth it!
Thank you for beeing honest and trying to help! After seeing im Not alone Reading the comments i feel hope and i know i can do it !
Keep up the work you Are helping people
I will Keep you updated with the Progress 👊🏾
The fear of responsibility/potentiality is hard to describe and understand. I think it's the work it takes to become the best version of yourself, and fighting the urge to fall back on excuses and becoming a victim of circumstance.
Great talk, a gold mine of information 👍 should be on a Ted talk!
I smoked weed 24 years I was 12 now I'm 36 quitting weed was the best thing I did in my life had total 8 months sober and I turned to CBD until I was totally ready to stop your channel is amazing Respect 🙂❤️
Been smoking for xx amount of years. The past 3 days I have felt like death. Been smoking bud in cigarellos. Tonight I bit the bullet and finished off the last that I had. Cold turkey starting tomorrow morning. It is 2:48am and can’t sleep but it’s what I’m willing to go through to getting sober. Weed is all fun and games but till your body had enough you’ll know.
Brain fixes over time, dont lose hope guys.
Thank you
Yes! I understand the fear of success.
Dang man, thanks for making these videos. While you were talking about Grit, I realized that your definition of Grit is surprisingly close to the definition of addiction… so having that realization is helping me reframe what it means to be an addict, and how those same traits that drive my addiction can be beneficial.
Started smoking at 16, im 31 now. Nearly half my life clouded. Today is day 2 on a new start.
Im on day 12 and I have diarrhea and panic attacks. My chest feels heavy and I hate this feeling.
I consder myself to be many things, but a recovering addict to opiates/heroin, is one of those things. If i forget that im a recovering addict, it would be easier for my mind to trick me into using again. But, i know that i have an addictive personality, so i cannot just "try" sonething, or, " just use this one time, " so I try to never forget where i came from, bc i don't ever want to go back to that place. I dont the break down of controlling our emotions. I didnt think it was possible, i tend to be very sensitive and emotional at times. Good luck to everyone wanting/trying to quit marijuana, or any other substance!
These videos are completely brilliant man thank you so much
I'm committing myself to sobriety thanks to you. It's going to be hard, but nothing that was ever worth it was easy.
Didn’t realize how dependent I was until I got pregnant and wasn’t able to quit. The withdrawals are horrible. I have 2 children right now ages 9 & 7 and have been smoking since maybe 6 years ago daily with a few brakes here and there. At most like 4 month brake but this time around it’s been difficult to not hit my pen. I’ve noticed I have low patience and a short fuse with my children when withdrawing. I feel so guilty and horrible & It keeps me in this cycle.
Bout to start day 1. As soon as I feel ready gna quit cigs too. Quit them before so I got this
Thanks a bunch Dr Frank
My Pleasure thanks for watching.
Day 5 here after 33yrs
It has only been 5 days since I quit smoking weed. It feels so good to be hungry again because weed (completely) killed my appetite. And it feels so good to not be constantly coughing and peeing in my pants. 😂TRUTH I haven’t been coughing at all. It’s been great.!!!! 🎉 😅 Am I alone here? I finally have the natural munchies! Maybe now I can gain weight and muscle mass!
I understand that fear and I'm listening while watching advanced transport phenomena
I’m going to make it through the weekend.
At 33 min, the fear of living up to my potential is REAL. ❤
It’s an odd thing but it’s very real
100%
Day 40 here, lots of time and opportunities means no more excuses.
Before it was on the weed, now it’s on me.
Btw, thanks Doc Frank for what you do!
What’s funny is I talk to people about that fear of success all the time I’m really good at giving people advice that I don’t take myself lol I just cut out a bunch of stuff all at once including caffeine. Keep me in your prayers guys explaining this to somebody else, I always put it as the mindset you get really comfortable hitting bottom and then just getting back up relapsing and getting back up relapsing and getting back up and it becomes a habit, you know at least I can do this but you’re not sure how high you can actually fly and the better and more successful you come to get wary and the only thing you know is if you throw it all away, you can for sure get up again. It’s a sick weird psychological issue. I dealt with her a long time and to be honest I’m still dealing with.
Excellent video,. Im very inspired to quit weed now
This would be a really good guide if I was addicted to weed and wanted and needed help to quit. I've never even tried weed before and I'm not addicted to it. I am addicted to nicotine and I want and need help to quit. Please make videos for people addicted to nicotine. I feel like that would help me. I thought one of this channel's goals was to help people quit nicotine.
That video is dropping after part 3
cold turkey why delay it just do it i did was not fun but after a week it felt a lot better. started at 16 now iam 49 been clean for 3 months.
Im from france and your videos helps me a lot especially this complete guide
Thanks you
12 weeks clean today, and I started looking at the bud varieties I might indulge in. I am so much more stable now though, and there is a lot of good about that. Being clean is kind of precious to me now, I really do not want to get dirty again, because I know it will end up in the same place, beating myself up with it, as I always have; I can't just have me a taste, and go on, so I had better hold on to my sobriety....... God, let me love you, so I can let you love me. I know I can get closer to you Lord without my over ejaculated dopamine red eyed buzz bomb.
I've spent a lot of time vaping tobacco and weed lite. It's taken time away from church chemical engineering and sports.
That fear that “maybe I’ll be better off without and be right” is definitely demonic and self-harming and egotistical as far as my take goes.
Why would a human, who cares about themselves, ever purposefully press that on themselves?
I definitely experience that. Like when you said, I don’t wanna say NO forever, but I also don’t feel comfortable with seeing me STILL SAYING YES 10 years from now.
After daily usage for 7 years constant,doing day 4 keep moving we are going to make it.
I have inattentive adhd. Therefore my dopamine levels are naturally lower. I wasnt aware that id become dependent so quickly. Ive only been using medical marijuana for 8 months and I already want to quit😂
I feel miserable and dull if i dont smoke. I cant wait to be able to go throughout my day without itching to roll a j🙏🏼
I’m actually kind of addicted to these videos. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing
i three weeks i'm gonna run 100 kilometers. been running most my life, longest was 50K. i entered the race cuz it's my life long dream to run a 100K and (in my case) like quitting an addiction, i'm never ready for it. i entered now to get my mind into stopping smoking at which i have failed week after week. now, three weeks before the race i'm doubting if it's even smart to stop now or is it better to wait till after the race, thinking of all the side effects i will go through right before the race.. will i be totally exhausted at the start line? if i stop now, i should have benefits three weeks from now during the race right..?.. i smoke weed and tobacco so today the idea is to stop the day after tomorrow (tuesday). one idea is to only stop weed and quit smoking at a more convenient time. or should i stop all smoking, have a couple bad weeks and then race?
Progress builds momentum, momentum builds more momentum.
Thank you 🙏❤️
Don’t know if you know it or not, but you are doing work for Allah
May God/Allah bless and reward you ✅🤍✌🏿🫡🪖
Every time I quit I relapse, mainly because I work in sales. The mental drop makes my sales drop. I almost got fired the last time I quit. This shit sucks. As of now I only use once a week. I want to quit but my digestive health sort of needs it so that’s yet another setback.
My digestive health usually suffers around week 3. If you find a solution please share. That’s when it gets hardest for me.
@@MelanieLW7674 that’s an entire other issue as well. Living with IBS it does help me. So I live in confusion of “is it good or bad for me.”
