    I’m not sure if you will see this- i am a smoker who has taken control of my life and formed a healthy relationship with marijuana due to you. Although was able to get out of true addiction and maintain a “special occasion” basis- i wish everyone would hear a few of their points. People don’t realize how insane it is when your brain mindset changes when you break out of the cycle. Thank you for your content. I have been vape free almost a year with no urges- but when i do get an urge, i head over to you. Keep doing what you’re doing.

    I resonate to this so hard from the point of view of both weed and alcohol. I work in the alcohol industry and am very upset with drinking culture and the normalization of behaviour that falls in the category of problematic/habitual usage. The "weed is an escape" "comfy clouds" "wake and bake" thing is so similar to the "wine mom" culture. Both substances, when used in moderation and with harm reduction, can be fine, but as soon as culture normalizes overconsumption or "self-medication"/escapism there's a huge problem

      I am doing AA for that (they accept weed addicts). Give up booze, give up pot, be free. The only drugs allowed in AA are caffeine, nicotine and actual medical drugs (prescribed by dr in good conscience).
      If you can't get boyfriend/girlfriend (I can't, long story), then you have only the bars and stoner/drunk friends and odd hobby meetup groups that meet up once a month where just three people show up. None of those will work.
      AA has people who show up and there's always meetings every single day. They also have social events. TONS of people in AA and you actually get to talk to people about life stuff (not just the odd hobby).

    Most common stoner talk I’ve heard in the community:
    “Weed helps me calm down, I’m angry/anxious/ stressed without it. Weed is my medicine.” They don’t realise these are often withdrawal symptoms and weed is a bandaid.
    “I need weed to do XYZ it makes me more XYZ” Nope, it’s actually the opposite I reckon.
    I have even heard it personified lol “Mary Jane is the love of my life. She is so beautiful”. I don’t know where to start with this one 😂

    Hey Dr. Frank this is a great video! I am 27 days sober and your videos help me stay on the path to recovery. I’ve noticed as of lately my mind is giving me that “stoner talk.” It’s always random but out of nowhere I start to miss smoking weed. I don’t know if I miss the action of smoking weed but I just miss it. Usually I just acknowledge it and move on with my day but I find the thoughts to be very annoying. I don’t want to reminisce about it at all anymore. I quit because I was tired of feeling like a prisoner. I guess maybe it could be considered a a withdrawal symptom but I just want to move on with life and put it behind me. Do you have any recommendations on how to stop reminiscing about it? I haven’t relapsed thank God, but I want to continue to reduce the chances of relapse happening. Thank you for all that you do, I really appreciate you for taking the time to make these videos.
