  • 100 days, no marijuana. Feeling clean and clear. I can definitely say the addiction has been broken, but I’m much more aware of my patterns now, so I’m going to keep this going indefinitely. I’m not anti cannabis, but for me, it’s not the season. One thing I’ve noticed return is my sense of urgency with all the projects I want to work on this year, and I’m more energized than ever to make huge strides. It was very hard to quit and most won’t tell you how addictive weed is, and how deep you can get into the haze. But if you’re struggling, my advice would be to open up to others and take it one day at a time. It gets easier.

      See...it's never too late to stop people. Your brain just needs 3 years to fully rewire itself and you will start vibrating high already on a 1 month streak. Weed will affect anyone in a bad way when used daily. You literally can't have a normal functioning life when smoking daily and the only way to realise that is when you stop using.

    I’ve been smoking weed since 2014, and I can honestly say my anxiety has always been through the roof. I experienced sweating, overthinking, stuttering, and even a sense of panic. Adding weed to the mix gave me paranoia like no other but I forsure shoved it under the rug while I was chasing that high. I recently decided I’m absolutely fed up with the way I feel and I find myself in a constant loop, whenever I was out Of weed i would be on my way to re-up when I have a boatload of other errands I needed done, but I put marijuana first. So sad. As of today I am 7 days in and I plan to get clean so I can join the army and better my future. I’ve been using the army and my future as my motivation and I feel in full control of this addiction at the moment knowing if I fold I will destroy changing my life and that SCARES ME.
    I will update because I know I will get clean. Hopefully someone can read this situation and try getting sober too good luck 👍

    Congrats to you!! You are strong. I completed 30 days on October 1, 2020, and I feel great. I came all the way from Philly to Tulsa, Oklahoma for it. What was supposed to be a 3 month travel nursing assignment, was actually my ticket out of the weed addiction. Hey, I'm glad I followed where God was leading me, because I asked for deliverance from it and here I am. I've had the opportunity to ask for it and buy it from some people in the hotel where I'm staying, and I guy at my job who whispers "weed out" to me when he sees me at work, he showed me some good looking weed too...but I didn't fold. I just enjoyed the smell, and kept going strong. When I get back to Philly, I'm not going to get back involved with it either. I'm more productive at work now, and I love the vivid dreams. Weed took so much time out of my life, for example, I would go to the park/waterfront in the morning to exercise, but would always get caught up with rollin' up, smoking, wasting time because I'd be spaced tf out. I would smoke before exercising at the gym, which I found really mellowed out the high, but I would waste mad time sitting in the car smoking before I even set foot in the gym. Then, had to roll up after the workout. Weed is okay, but for me, I've found that I'd rather have a good reason to spark up....such nas when I graduate college...or go on vacay to Jamaica. Besides, after so many years of abusing it daily, I miss the hysterical laughter it used to give me..Once it became something to do more out of habit, the fun and laughter was gone. I haven't gotten back just yet to a regular sleep schedule, plus working nights doesn't help much with that, but I have been writing, and trying ti get myself organized and back on track. In the meantime, I'm feeling great, and taking it one day at a time.

    Thank you so much for this video. I have been smoking weed every day, multiple times a day for about the same years as you, 3-4. I resonate so much when you said you were still pretty functional, throughout my heavy use I still remained As & Bs in college, I worked throughout this time, at one time working two jobs. So people would look at me and think everything is fine but on the inside I felt like my marijuana addiction was eating at my spirit. I had no energy all the time, during my free time I just wanted to lay down and be high, I’m asthmatic and the constant smoke to my lungs caused me to wake up almost every morning, wheezing and struggling to breathe (because I would always smoke before bed). I realized I wanted a change, I wanted to remember my life sober, save my money, and stop using marijuana as a crutch for stressful situations in my life. My goal is to remain sober free for 4 years + to make up for the years I smoked everyday. It’s hard, the withdrawal is frustrating, the people in my life still smoke but I’ve decided to let it take a back seat. It’s not important and I haven’t been functioning at my greatest level.

It’s a job that demands 70+ hours a week & that’s just not gonna happen when I smoke. I won’t lie, I miss the whole “not caring” thing, but I don’t miss the “fog, forgetting, laziness, or antisocial behavior”. I drink red wine for serious stress now.

    I am on day 100, but I feel close to relapse, even though I remember why I quit in the first place.
    Marijuana is like one of those f*ck up friends you have that you know causes more harm than good but for some reason you still want to make room for in your life.
    Smoking marijuana is akin to being in a battered spouse relationship, now that I think about it; you inevitably try to defend the abuser, while bearing all of the hallmarks of being abused.

However, human life is complicated and nowadays many people don't have a purpose, or don't feel that they have one. That's why people in poor countries like Morocco or Afghanistan smoke dope. Someone should be asking why so many people in the so called affluent west are turning to this form of escapism.

    Regarding the "moderation issue". I was smoking marihuana basically daily for 4 years. I got addicted as the adult. After I finished university. At first it was to me like all my problems are gone and for the first time in my life Im actually a pleasant person. That was my biggest motivation. Overall pleasantness of the substance - it made me feel good and I was good to others. More than before. No mood swings. It felt like I found cure for my struggles: being really insecure about what kind of human being I am and how Im experiencing things and human contact.
    After several months of usage the ecstasy went away. Strike of empathy went away. What remained when I didnt use daily, was some state of calmness, some feeling of artificial peace. I found out that what I wanted to feel and I never felt it that much naturaly as I wanted was more empathy, some kind of inner grace. But what at first felt like cure, over the time more and more felt like poison. Well, more and more it felt like Im limiting myself from actually experiencing life, but that feeling marihuana helped me to be a better man was still inside and I was dead worried what quitting marihuana will show me about myself.
    I tried many moderation rules - to smoke once in a few days, once in a week. I never followed that rules. In March or April this year I stopped smoking cold turkey for 45 days. Then I smoked one joint and strike of "empathy" was that huge I bursted in tears and i was talking with my girlfriend about all our issues. The fact I stopped for a while helped our relationship tremendously - on the other hand, Im still not sure what would happen if I didnt smoke that one joint that made me actually discuss everything. What Im sure though is, that after one week i had another. And sooner than I realized, I was again a daily smoker.
    Now it is my second serious attempt. Im on my day 23. All suppressed sensations come back and to be clear, a lot of them are not pleasant at all. Im suffering from terrible headaches. But somehow I feel its worth it. For a few whiles in these last weeks I felt better than in years.
    I hope I can stay sober. I dont know what I feel and think about it, but I definitely need more time to find out. It would be such a waste to get back into the cycle, because I know - it doesnt end with one joint once you crossed a line. Now I know the only moment I will be probably able to smoke a joint without severe consequences will be when I genuinely wouldnt wont it.
    Anyway, thanks for amazing video

    Daniel, I can so relate with everything you said. I've been addicted to THC and alcohol since my teens. The longest I have ever been sober was like 2 weeks. But like you, I have my own business, 4 kids, and a functioning addict. I always knew alcohol was bad and would take days off but smoked or ate edibles consistently thinking it had zero effect on me. Boy was I wrong. I quit both 6 days ago and am def having some withdrawal symptoms (insomnia, sweats, dizziness, etc) I thought I was getting sick but realizing now what is really going on. But I am feeling so motivated and excited to see how it really fells to live without these toxins in my body for all these years. Thanks for sharing bro!
