Matt, and MA in general, make no statements on marijuana "per se." In no way is anyone saying "drugs are bad" Matt is a just marijuana addict and needed help to stop, a very common problem smoking it. Some people it is not a problem, but for Matt it was. In no way shape or form, does this have anything to do with marijuana or it being "good or bad" it is simply about helping the marijuana addict who desires to quit. Marijuana can indeed be good for some people, that's not the point here :)
Bob addict. I'm coming up in Sept . on 20 years clean and sober. Been in AA 14 of those years or so. I stopped hearing the message so I'm heading back to MA. older members know its good to venture out. And meetings are part but not the whole program. without Steps 10 to 12 I would be dry or out. Thank God ive continued on the path. Bob Hunley
Keep coming back, my friend. If you stop hearing the message, then you've reduced yourself to treading water in the rapids! I'm grateful to have 25 years--but every day I walk on thin ice.
: )
I'm in my 19th year of sobriety and clean time and you spoke my life. Not necessarily the details, but absolutely the inner life that I lived and suffered as an active marijana addict. You have blessed me with your story and made this day a better one for me. Thank you.
222 days sober. On Step 6.
TODAY 🎑🎄🎉🎆🎊🎗️🎀🎁? How U doing.?
@@reggiescott6420 absolutely how are you feeling ?!
Quitting marijuana gave me postacute withdrawal. I did it for 27 years and when I stopped my life lost meaning. I got super depressed and filled with anxiety at all times. Almost 4 months later I still feel it. It gets better every day though. It feels great to not be so dependent on some thing. I do miss it from time to time but the negatives outweigh the positives.
14 years clean, smoked my g friends vape, thinking it was cbd, but it was Delta 8. Slipped but not changing my sobriety date, wasn't my intention to get high. Had some
cravings, staying transparent with sponsor, therapist, and recovery friends.
Still sober for a week. Don't want to be a slave to anything.
How was it getting high after 14 years?
@@eruslevi5714 well I was fkn amazing. I took 3 big hits, off of a delta 8 vape. I felt like i was on lsd. I actually freaked out a little. I did some deep breathing, yoga, and then kicked my legs in the apt. pool for like an hour. I was flooding the whole place. Little kids were like "mommy i'm scared" lol. But then the obsession kicked in. For a month I debated on going back to pot, talking to my sponsor, therapist, support group, and finally I gave in. Smoking for 3 months. I thought I could control it, but I went crazy on it, just like the old days. The first 3 weeks were incredible, having chronic depression, I struggle with cleaning house, organizing etc. My house was spotless! Everything had a place. Id smoke and immediately have to get to work. Anti depressents, therapy, and 12 step programs couldn't do for my what pot was doing for me, as far as motivation. After 3 weeks, I lost the motivation. I started dabbing delta 8, and smoking chronic. I was too fkd up to function most days. Just watching tv. Then i made some foolish decisions, ending up in the hospital for trying to skate too high. And started getting that hyperemis syndrome. I'm on 2 weeks sober today. Still a little irritable, but feeling good to great mostly.
"When I have a bad day I try to redefine the word bad." Love that!
on day 5... here listening to this while I sew up my ripped jeans
Thank you so much. Seriously. I feel like a freak in NA sometimes because my drug is not crack or H
I would always share a lot more about my issue with pills in NA because I was afraid that it would be like that scene in half-baked if I said I was addicted to pot. I was glad others shared about that being their drug of choice. Sharing about it some people gave me shit- but they were mostly people who were counting days and didn't have much recovery.
sad to hear that Julie. If it were up to me, even behavioral addictions (like gambling and sex) would feel comfortable in NA. Check out meetings in San Diego if you're ever around, we try to keep an open minded attitude around here.
All members of all fellowships are seeking to stay sober, one day at a time. Many of us were cross-addicted. But we do feel more comfortable with those who primarily used the same substance, as our experiences are similar. Yours, and my, experiences, are Not unique! So many of us hid the pot so well that we could not find it!
Ours was,Welcome anyway.🎀🎁
There’s plenty of online meetings for MA if there isn’t any close to where you live. I used to drive an hour and a half to go to meetings. Hating that long ride so much actually made it easier for me to continue quitting. I didn’t want it to all be for nothing
I have searched for 30 years for help with my marijuana addiction. Today January 29 2020 I have at last found what I am looking for. I have come home to Marijuana Anonymous.
Welcome 😊 HOME, Brother in Recovery.
How's it going three years on? Was that the day?
@@charlieread2097 I am now four years free of cannabis
@@uknewslink Congrats! I hope to join you out of the fog.
@@charlieread2097 I am now 4 years marijuana free.
60 days sober....god help me
Hope you made it to 120!!
How are you doing now?
@@chocohellokitty went back on for 60 days....now quit again.
"I'm here for MY recovery, not to make you coffee!!" 🤣🤣🤣
I missed that 😂 is that what he said? All I heard was clapping because my brain went somewhere else 😂
I related so much to this, wish I had such a warming community to help me with this. I thank Matt for his great share.
Thanks for the share! I could relate to most of what you said. I needed this. It is nice to know there is MA. Can't wait to get clean.
thank you for sharing your story. im 18 and am struggling still trying to graduate high school a year late because i started smoking a little over a year ago. it has taken over my life and made me realize why people sometimes want to end theirs. i recently came to the conclusion that yes if i wanted to quit i would need more help, more guidance, more structure and someone yelling at me, but i physically coudnt get to rehab or even meetings because my anxiety had gotten crippling. i woke up tonight like i do every night at 1, 3, and now 4 am, but this time something struck me so i decided to check if there was any kind of aa meeting example because i knew i needed it but was scared and didnt know how to start. but i gave this video a chance and all i have to say is thank you. i feel more understood than ever and even enlightened by the words you say or what a sponsor might have said to you. im starting meetings/an out program as of later today because i watched this video, so thank you for sharing your story it definitely helped and possibly saved me.
Thanks for sharing your story . I live in Sweden we have few fellowship but not MA .sound really good .
Hi Philippe. You may not have MA in Sweden, but MA has online meetings where you are always welcome.You can find them at marijuana-anonymous.org/find-a-meeting/
@@scotttobias556 great . I will try attend online meeting. I just have to find one meeting with the right time of the day with the time difference .
And I have you and Mary's speaker tape in my car, the one where you talk about about your 2 girls and how little they were when they were born. It's funny how active someone in your recovery can be and they have NO idea.
Thankyou for sharing. I'm recovering just now and this is a brilliant distraction as I'm struggling with the cravings to smoke a bong. I'm determined not to fall into those old patterns. I have stopped so many times. The last time I did I became so unwell and it took me all my strength to want to live. I survived thank God. I still have days when the cravings become so overwhelming to self medicate my traumas. This is the second video I'm watching listening to inspiring stories is so helpful. I hope your still doing ok. God bless and protect you 🙏 💜🏴
This is great, but why aren't there more? I've scoured the internet and haven't found more than 6 speaker recordings. It's so hard to find meetings for M.A., shouldn't there be more online options?
I know! It's bullshit, I can't believe there aren't more of these talks.
TheSkervich agree
If you need a meeting, there are meetings online, on the phone and in person. Check out the M.A. website to find out when meetings are. Dont be lazy like the weed would have you be.
Check out NA man, a loving group that takes in anyone no matter your substance
Go to marijuana-anonymous.org for literature and info. There are dozens and dozens of ZOOM meetings nowadays, too, where you can hear addicts in recovery telling Your Story!
Greetings from Philly, PA. I am craving for some weed so bad right now. I was used to smoking as I studied...but now, I can't even focus, the reading doesn't stick, test scores are dropping, my place is a mess. I feel like I'm in a chronic daze...a space cadette. The max I have ever quit for was 3 months. I'm trying to quit for years. I'll admit, I like it...I like it a lot, but when it's abused, it's not the same drug that helped me focus, clean, study, and relieve anxiety. The abuse of it does the opposite of that. I feel like a lazy bum....maybe I am, but I'll fix that by staying away from pot. So right now I'll go to the gym...that takes the edge off...If only I can make it through the first 24 hours. Send me some good vibes, please and thank you.
update, bestie?
It’s cause you’re working from a dopamine deficit. It will get better hang in there
What a cool testimony. Hit some bullseyes for-me. Very grateful!
Using this video as a MA meeting. 4 days clean from a 36 year addiction with weed. I'm done.
I loved this ♥️
Love it, where can I get more of these?
Day four
Time to get back on. Had 4 years and have used for 2. I am determined
Hope your doing well xx
thank you
I love somebody with a problem and it's so crazy making because it's this drug and not another one. And although I know I'm my heart and I'm my mind it's addictive for some that message is so derided in our current cultural moment that I end up feeling crazy being around the person I love.
Thumbs up!!!!
A lot of people think it's not additive especially back in the days, but now weed is so poten stronger today weed.
