Gonna quit smoking weed, starting half May. I have been looking at this channel for a while to get me in the right mindset. Pray for me peeps :)
Good luck man!
Hey quick tip. IMO, When you postpone quitting for a future date, you usually fail to follow through because of the pressure you build on it. It is better to start without putting the pressure of a specific date. Hope this helps.
Just do it today.
Start today if you give yourself a date it might not happen
50 years, blazed like it was going outa style. I quit smoking weed in Feb, doing edibles now and weaning, for final quit at my 65th birthday near the end of May. Good luck, and we got this! We have enough practice being high, we don’t need weed anymore.
I'm like 36 hours in. Last hit was Tuesday night. Cannot believe i made it through day one.
By now I’m sure you feel so much better so proud of you friend ❤
You got this !!!!!
Im on day 4! 🥳👏
Day two for me and I’m starting to feel the withdraws
How’s it going?
I started practicing the guitar like mad. Day 36 smoke free. ✌
This helps me alot! It keeps your mind busy and you get dopamine from a positive way
You’re gonna ROcK by the time you’re over the Goof Flower….
Yup my serious attempt at Rush Hemispheres. Going through a great sessions guitarists videos to learn progressions theory etc. Walking endlessly for hours works too...nicotine. idle time is the debbil
God speed. Rush is one of my favorite bands. @greghiller8079
Day 246 after 30 years of daily use. Can’t believe I’ve made it this far!
respect man
Congrats,im inspired

Amazing congratulations- day 20 and getting strong every day- don’t give up

Anytips on klonopin? I was going to tapper very slowly.
@@benjamindixon4825 go slow be patient first 6 months heightened anxiety due to increased electrical stimulation in brain from being off the downers. You’ll start to feel normal after month 3 then month 6 your healed. Zoloft is way way way way worse!!!
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
Can Dr. sporessss send to me in UK?
Absolutely, his offerings extend to global delivery, prioritizing complete confidentiality for individuals valuing their privacy.
Day 10….My energy level is better and my skin is clearer and I feel great!
Great video! Quitting will be hard, but once you are past it you will find your life can be far, far better than it was before. You can be healthy, creative, adventurous, and have lots of friends and dates. You will wonder why you bothered with heavy drinking and smoking.
Here are some hobbies that you might find enjoyable and beneficial after quitting smoking and drinking:
1. Go for a walk or a run.
2. Meet a friend for lunch.
3. Read a book.
4. Attend an exercise class.
5. Clean your home or your car.
6. Volunteer in your community.
7. Play video games.
8. Chew a gum.
9. Meditate or pray.
10. Listen to relaxing music.
11. Do a crossword puzzle.
12. Run yourself a hot bath.
Whatever you do, Stay Strong, Take Care and Keep Going! 💪❤
you are my therapist Dr Frank. hearing your voice and watching your videos is all I need!!
I look forward to your content. You are an angel who has appeared at just the right time to help me maintain my sobriety. Good to see you enjoying yourself in nature. Water is so healing.
Im 100 days sober now. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Still struggling.
I feel you
Keep going
Hang in there man. Ask God for strength and pray for it.
Understandable
You can do this brother I’m on day 6 and I believe God has helped me through the worst of it. We are all here together for the same reason. Love you brother I will pray for you ❤
I'm not really a gamer, and it's exactly a hobby. But GTA5 got me through the first 30 days. I also played some red red redemption 2 over the first 3 months. Worked for the exact reasons that you stated, easy to do, releases a dopamine, can burn a lot of time. Not really something that I wanted to make a regular thing, it is addictive, a waste of time for me as I don't really enjoy video games all that much. In fact, I played a little too much RDR2 during month 2 to be honest. But worked very very well for the first 30 days, I'm pleased I did it.
Also, while playing it I listen to probably every single Dr Anna Lemke podcast on the internet. She is invaluable.
You're no doubt a better Gamer also,processing information and split second decision making.
You're probably more immersed in the game aswell, instead of having to go for a smoke every hour, especially in Rdr2.
I still can go 1-6 months without gaming, although it is an interesting winter time hobbie.
I'm at the start of chapter 3 in rdr2 and haven't played it since March 2023!😂😂😂
I’m thinking about getting the remastered crash bandicoot
I used to play games religiously but kind of lost love for them
@@sneakerbay1836 do it my guy and enjoy the hobbie for what it is...
Although be warned Crash is alot more difficult than it used to be so you may brake a controller or 2!😂😂😂
I'm sure you can pick it up for a decent price but I'd also get a story/narrative game you can drift away into!
Two years ago I quit smoking. I smoked 10-15 per day. Then, several months ago a lot of family stress and I started smoking, but this time only 3 per day. Recently I started to get ticked off that I'm smoking 3 a day and have quit again. Frickin unbelievable but it is just as hard as quiting 10-15 a day. I have smoked since I was about 16 and now I'm 68. Sometimes I think you get to a point where you are just pissed off that something has taken you over. This is the closest I have come to quiting though and have stopped and started probably a dozen times.
It is a very big addiction my sister has very bad knees and they will not operate on them until she loses weight and quits smoking and she doesn't do either. So she walks around in tremendous pain. 😢
@@crazyhorse5163 I'm sorry about your sister. I have heard of that about surgery. It's just so difficult for people.
7 days sober . 23 years of heavy cannabis use .
Detox was rough , sick as a dog
I lost 14 lbs from vomiting, sweating, diarrhea
While I was bedridden I signed up for the gym
Gym has been insanely helpful
Can’t wait to start taking the dogs hiking 🥾
After 30 days you might get bad cravings after that you will be back to normal
Hang in there! After the withdrawals it can be like a new lease on life
@@jdsinmotion it gets heavy for me late mornings. I have to force myself into the gym or a cold shower
Physical is improving I looked like death last week. Its very spiritually, mentally draining. Really appreciate the insight. 30 day mark I'll be on knees first thing giving thanks
@@ericfitzgerald9214 Hanging in there ! Last week was Rambo one , this week Rambo two
I don't think that was weed you've been smoking😂
Haven't touched alcohol in 2024. I've been cycling more and playing the Pokemon TCG. Even been going to a local card shop and playing locally
writing rap lyrics and freestyling!!
Day 3 ur videos helped me get some clarity about what’s to come. I’ve been a demon the past few days but today I felt a huge wave of relief as if I was completely fearless again. Obviously it was short lived but wow weed is the reason I’m goin nuts lately. Also spit up a huge glob of black tar line HUGE instantly felt better
I’m going on 2 months off nicotine and weed quit the same time feeling a lot better and clear I smoked weed for 7 years and vape nicotine for 4 years This channel definitely helps!
Implying you still have your health …some people don’t stop til it takes away their physical health, which in turn will destroy the mental and make it much harder to stay sober .
Another great video I'm sharing 🙏
Dr.Frank,
This was an excellent video and I can’t wait for more of this series. Thank you for all your content.
It's been rough....47yrs of cannabis use... detoxing that is... irritability. anger .... Insomnia .... muscle pain the withdrawal symptoms of quitting weed & doing this on your own let alone with 2 cannabis dispensaries'. in my town & another one in the next town over... & doing this all on your own living alone! .... I have been staying away from the THC products lately....& just getting with the CBD gummies with no THC
Bro. F all that. Find your way with God and prayer. I also struggled to quit weed, but I did it after many years. I still use alcohol way too often , but I can tell you for a fact, you can do it and if you ask and commit, God will bless you with holy spirit for it.
47yrs seems a long time on this earth, but it's means nothing to your timeless spirit and you can leave that stanaic influence all behind. Stay strong brother, find your way back to God trough prayer ❤
@@wizkhalife1 Yeah it's Interesting because you have somewhat famous people like Snoop Dog a self-made successful black african american hip-hop artist who tokes regularly & Willie Nelson who just turned 91yrs who also tokes regularly & still tours...I have never heard of anyone dying of cannabis use & also researched it on the internet....yet with alcohol & cigarettes...they are the killers!
@@wizkhalife1 which God, there's lots to choise from, how do you choose. I don't believe in the power of a human sacrifice so that Jesus guy is out.
@@droneracer what do you believe than if I can ask ?
@@wizkhalife1 things that are demonstratable
I bought a Keyboard to start playing a few of my favorite songs. Its feels great to learn, easily accessible and I love music. When I have the energy to study after work, I practice coding in SQL and now starting to learn Python. Somedays I still lack the motivation to do any of them but its a start.
In my 4th day,im so bored and i been struggling to sleep.
But i wake up fresh with no sleep paralysis,i even remember my dreams
Good info! I need to pay attn to my hobbies. Tennis player here. They took our neighborhood courts backboard down for a pickle ball court🙄
I need to join a league this may be the universe pushing me that way, so is your video. I guess I need to quit smoking weed first. Ugh! It's odd how I can dread doing something that I want to do so badly which is not to smoke. I gave up vaping I've got a handle on adult media, which is rarely. Hi from Louisville Kentucky 🙋♂️👍💪🤙
Pickle ball is ridiculous
@@Otherworldlyobjectives It gets people active I appreciate that however I am a tennis player all my life so to me it kind of is as well
One year off the booze. Now it's time to cut out the weed. Day 2. Sleeping is tricky
I should listen to you a year a go. I was sober and after a year I start again little by little with the F weed and it happened everything again, thanks good I catch my maniac episode early and spend no more than 3 month to recover. The last time it happened I spend almost a year and a half to be anormal. I wish to had the courage to talk to some one like you doctor.
I just got out of detox. I want to stay sober
I am immersed in adult paint by numbers since stopping booze and cigs.
Been off nicotine (again) for 2 months. Coffee 1 month. Now on day 5 of no weed.
day 6 today and on the verge of breaking for real 👎🏻 the sleep, bad mood and anxiety is just to much man
Look forward to the series. Great idea!
Currently craving for proffesional Gym and recording studio.
This video gave me some tips which i appreciate
You look great!
This is key! Thank you.
I think it's not always easy am proud of my recovery but l feel like l have been going backwards little bit when l need to keep going forward for better things
4:49 feeling of escape
Dr Frank I’m addicted to you. I can’t quit you.
😂😂😂
I’ve heard of the “kick it crave less” gum! Meaning other than your channel. Might have even seen it in a store somewhere. Nice video Frank I hope to connect with your recovery team soon. - Benjamin Nonken
My thought is pick something you’ve always been interested in, and devote your time to gaining expertise, instead of thinking about the fact you’re not scratching the old itch…
Iv been off and off years and this one been hard one
Hobby number one, ironing shirts 😅
My golf game is exponentially better since quitting weed 19 days ago.
Stretching and YOGA has been beneficial as well.
Go for it!!!
Thanks for the video! I used to be a zyn fiend
hey doc! thanks for the videos as always!! if you don't mind me asking, what microphone are you using?
I do need more self care l got a membership today at the ymca
Self care, RUclips University, investing
Pls give advice for not vaping because u have to not cause u want to I had to because my heart rate was sky high my heart started beating super fast after four months vaping it just not motivated but miss it a lot I like playing basketball in the gyme with my baby
Im only 41 years old, but i've been smoking weed/hash for 30! years daily. Wtf was i doing? In the early days it was fun, but it started to take over my life and my bankaccount. Only 7 days in, during the day im fine, but the nights are tough..
VR is also a good option
I struggle with that
Hi dr frank how is your week
Dr Frank has good advice, but the $75 bottle of chewing gum did nothing for my craving's. It's just a distraction, like regular gum.
That familiar place
Is reading a good hobby? More so nonfiction and history books for learning
can you make a video about gambling please
The worst thing a drug dealer can hear from you is
“I don’t smoke nomore”
You cut off there income and they be salty as hell
You on a cruise ship?
Except the fact that you are on a cruise ship (which i hate) you are a great guy. Dont do cruise ship trips! Those are the worst for the environment and are completely unnecessary
Video games
Cruise excursions suck anyway much cheaper and better off doing those things on your own without the umbrella of the cruise organization
Climbing or white water kayaking are the best of the best to switch
Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell. Just like accepting a plea bargain in court.

12 Steps Workbook for Men by Leone Young
I highly recommend this workbook for anyone that's in recovery.
I was 6 months sober…. I just recently relapsed for about 2 months.
I’m going back to being sober, knowing I did it once, means I can do it again. I hope one day I can come back and say it’s day 365 🤍🫶🏻
I'm on day 192 after smoking copious amounts of weed for 5 years
Day 20 today! Was a pot addict for 19 years! I have quit MULTIPLE times and failed. Been using this channel for over a year now! I FEEL AMAZING! My pot dealer actually came by because he was "worried" and put that shit in my face and I was able to say politely "no thanks". Saved around $500 dollars in these last weeks! Thank you Dr you are a godsend!
That great well done! Proud of you 👏
@@natascha.anastasia Thank You 😊
Happy for you
The company I got medicinal off is emailing me like crazy they have lost around $600 revenue a month I'm never going back I was in a decline for 15 years started when I was 14 ...i was close to death
I’m on day 2 of quitting cold turkey. I told my best friend yesterday I quit. He still asked me if I wanted to smoke last night and this morning. He is such a trigger for me, I didn’t give in thank God. But I can’t believe he would ask me if I wanted to smoke after I told him I’m done with weed.
Will power my dawg
Because people can’t handle us outgrowing them
That doesn’t sound as a friend that’s more someone that wants another someone to use with. A lot of people that become sober find out their friends weren’t real friends at all.
@@natascha.anastasia yes so true
Same happened to me at work. I was used to smoking cigarettes during break like most of my colleagues. 2 weeks ago when I said I didn’t want to smoke 2 of my colleagues looked at each other in disbelief. I don’t know how to describe it but it felt like they wanted me to keep smoking , maybe because they also try not to but don’t have enough willpower.
In the last year I quit zoloft, nicotine, weed, fentanyl, Percs, and social media. Anything is possible!
Hi Dr Frank, I remember watching a video of yours where you stated that every trait that you have being an addict is the exact trait that you need to quit. You went through all of them 1 by 1. I'd like to watch the video again, I've search for it a good few times now but I can't find it. Do you remember what the title was?
Fishing for me. Loved it when I was stoned. Love it even more sober. Plus I’m way more consistent and better at adapting to different lakes and situations.
Get a college degree (for those with no degrees), lift weights, bowling 🎳, pursuing faith in God. Just a few ideas.
I just bought some resistance tubes so I can do some exercise at home. I haven’t quit yet but I’m preparing to. I need to try find some other things to do at home as I have 2 little kids with nap schedules.
Bro your great. I had chs 2 weeks ago and my body is better. But listen. It's like I have 3 personality right now. Its me, my addiction, and my body. My body loves me being sober. I haven't had a drink for a year. My body forced me to quit weed and it's actually been great but my brain hates that it can't escape and keeps trying to tell me to smoke. But at the same time my mind has been sharper and I love being aware! This is rough
I wish my hobby could be sitting on a cruise liner!
Me too 😂
Quit alcohol 200 days ago. Quit weed 80 days ago. Quit Kratom 60 days ago.
Quit caffeine 80 days ago.
My Hobbies:
- watching RUclips videos on personal development (yours included. Thx)
- vitamin research for nutrient deficiency and brain repair
- reading for fun. Fell into fiction hard. Mainly fantasy and sci-fi and nonfiction self help books
- boardgaming. Mainly the subgenre solo boardgames Fun and kept my brain active.
- video games. Thank you Read dead Redemption 2 and now baulders gate 3
- hiking in wilderness and trail building with my dog
- vacation: going to Disneyland sober is the pinnacle. If you can do that (from trip planning to researching ride sequence and park analytics and scheduling food reservations at the right place and time) then you are back on track
I paint pictures, list weights, cook bomb ass food, go for a walk, study, focus on your future, sleep, read, watch tv, clean my room, take my dog for a walk, carve sticks, go fishing, go to work, talk with family, get a therapist😂, clean your nasty sheets I know you haven’t changed, sit outside in solitude, get in touch with yourself,
Wut if it’s my family that sucks me in? I can’t abandon them
Im 7 days clean of nicotine after 3 years of chain-vaping. Thanks for the content ❤
Boredom and not knowing what to do when I’m not high was my main excuse to not quitting. I appreciate you and this video, day 1 starts today💪
Sooooo I know you're on a cruise. But can you make a post to interact with or a video about the reclassification of marijuana? I'm for it in terms of lessening the criminal burden (I guess, even then I'm not informed enough to make educated choices)but this to me comes as a shock and screams ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS!!! I've had plenty of time to be addicted to marijuana (10 years) I know what it did to me and how it has affected my growth since. I don't want anyone to ever think this substance is quelling their anxiety and helping with sleep. I hate marijuana!!!!
But it does for some people. I've smoked for over 30 years, and I think nothing of going on a month's holiday and not being able to vape. I just change mode and enjoy my holiday. There's no wall climbing because I can't sleep etc.
We're all different: alcohol is like poison to me, but I appreciate other users experience it differently from me.
Worry about banning sugar.. Now that is awful for everyone.
I'm doing ok, martal arts has helped. My friend started buying and selling toys after he quit. He's doing well
Der Bre gönnt sich erstmal ne Kreuzfahrt
I haven’t hit a vape in 1 months and during my withdrawals I have love watching the videos and the reason why I had to quit was because I woke up one morning having a bad panic attack and then went to the hospital and found out my lungs was as old as a 70 year old and my lungs have been healing and I would like to say thank for your support
I quit sept 2022 because of u idk why I started back last year in march but now I’m back bout to quit cigs and weed and porn for good for everybody who’s trying to quit this my sec time quitting I’m not giving up u got this never quit 💯💯💯💯💯
You’re right, it's a fact that quitting booze not only makes your world a better place to be in, good things start to “magically” happen and the energy is insane! Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever, that’s the best shortcut I go’ogled that took less than a week to work without suffering withdrawal.
So what are some of your 24/7 hobbies? He didn't list very many options in the video.
You’re a blessing
Am not sure about this
Gambling!
Im day 1 quiiting rn
Update?
I want to quit vaping i need you, i need you rn. Dont leave me
You gotta make the decision for yourself
I’m recovering from CHS and I’m 2 weeks sober. Something that helps me is coming back to these videos and watching them every time I crave weed, nicotine, etc. Dr. Frank. I just wanna thank you for being there for me and all these other people dealing with this. You’re a true coach! To all the people who are struggling: I hope you get through it ! Stay strong.
Yeah the idea about aligning any new hobbies or activities with whatever goals you were pursuing by quitting really clicked. Thank you.
Is bro on a cruise ship lol
I primary reason I'm quitting is because all the weed is THCA. This is not the same as real thc. This stuff is affecting me way different than normal thc.
Eh once you burn it the A carbon falls off and it become thc
@joshuaortega1387 maybe I'm forgetting to mention my everyday kratom use. That isn't helping anymore.
@mikemarianetti8834 haha hurista and javanica to help taper off High dose vitamin c like 5 gs helps cap receptors benni botanicals has hurista and javanica and Great quality
Like #300
Having resistance bands to do stretches and mobility exercises are good to have at home if you don’t have the energy to workout!
Yoga and stretches are nice after a long day at work, especially if it’s a blue collar job! Keep the joints healthy.
