Thanks u, for the motivation ! Tomorrow makes day 4. It’s tough but I don’t have a urge to smoke , just feeling all of the withdrawal symptoms.
Started smoking at 18. I’m 27 now. It’s ridiculous how one month turns into one year turns into one entire forsaken decade.

HONESTLY, THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE SUBS. I don’t know what I would have done without it
I quit 6 months ago and, honestly, the only thing that improved was my short term memory… slightly. I had hobbies when I smoked weed, but now I don’t have the passion for anything. What I can say is that I’ve never been happy, even as a child. I was always dissatisfied with everything. When I started smoking, I experienced real joy for what felt like the first time. I used to smoke and clean my house, work on projects, make websites, etc. Now I don’t smoke and my house is a mess and all I do is work and work out. Working out helps while I’m doing it, but as soon as I’m home alone, I feel like garbage and I have no satisfaction in anything.

I’m almost 2 months without weed and for the last 8-9 years I was smoking at least 5-10 times a day without any breaks. I quit because it had a strange effect on me, I realized that even though it was euphoric it took a lot away from my confidence, social skills, finances, and ambition. Surprisingly the first month was the easiest part for me with little to no withdrawals or side effects. I thought stopping would effect my appetite, sleep, and happiness but overall all of those things have remained the same. All throughout my addiction I thought I would never be able to stop and ultimately powerless over a plant. I’m at the point where I do have mood swings which sucks but because I was honest with everyone in my life about what I was doing and why I was doing it. This past week has been a lot harder for me psychologically but im not willing to go back because the positives have definitely outweighed the negatives from stopping. My emotions flood in so intensely sometimes that I cry from euphoria, but other times I feel extremely bored and somewhat depressed. I’m finally getting back to all of the things I was passionate about in my younger years and my relationships with my coworkers, friends, family, and girlfriend are improving. I’ll be turning 28 a few months from now and figured it was about time to stop, or at least try. Before it was too late and all of my dreams and ambitions fade away into late adulthood. If any of you feel like you need to stop you have to try at least, it makes it easier taking it a day at a time and reminding yourself that if things ever get really bad you could always go back whenever you want. The only thing keeping me sober is I did not quit forever. It’ll always be there, but the earlier you can break the cycle the better. After almost 2 months I can see that I was a lot more depressed while I was using. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there somehow so here they are.

Thanks Richard! It really means alot and your 21 days in not “only” 21 days in, don’t discredit yourself!
I smoked for 2 years straight. Went cold turkey by going back to my hometown as the substance is not available back home. This was the best way to force myself quit. 9 days i have not smoked any weed. I get dreams about things i desired and wanted sometimes the dreams are so depressing i wake up feeling the same thing and carry it along day. During the day i even with weed i used to workout so i kept that as i knew this would help me. Meet your friends, go for that long car ride, slowly things will fall in place. You are not late. You will feel numb, feel like time is just going past quickly. Dont be too hard on yourself. Give yourself time. Good luck. I am planning to never go back will update you all so thay this section remains like a reference point for me. I will comment here after 30 full days of no weed which will help you to see things from my perspective.

Right? And being a stoner might make it easier for people to use you, say shit to you, or i mean, you may not be so quick to make a comeback lol. I sometimes think having more friends could help, or even a gf, lol, yes i'm OPEN TO ONE but it's not a main goal! And another point, enemies might make better friends, you already got past the bs, you now have shit to prove to eachother, funny how life works. The book even says if you don't have any, make some lol. Some people do suck, avoid them at all costs, they will drain us and take us down with their misery. Some people definitely think the same about stoners, think about it... I'm also learning that all good things, even friendships or mentorships may come to end at some point and that's ok.

I’m not sober by choice I lost my regular connect and it’s sent me into a deep dark hole of depression. I want weed back in my life. It made me good at art music I enjoyed sports card collecting. Now all I see is how pathetic humanity is how everyone wants to just use me manipulate me and lie to me. I feel so lost.

First week without marijuana (15 years everyday heavy smoker) after coming down with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. The sadness is hitting me hard. It’s like I have SO MUCH to grieve that I didn’t fully take in over those years. I was blocking out so many things with the weed. It helped me cope I guess but not productively. and not I have catching up to do. 😞 the mental aspect of this is truly the most difficult.

Really, thank you for your support on the channel it means the 🌎
The toughest part is the boredom at night. You can have all the hobbies in the world and be as productive as you want but from 8pm to bed time, nothing really feels fun anymore. I used to be able to smoke and put on some random TV show or YT video and be genuinely happy until bed time. Now nothing is that fun. The problem with weed for me though is that its so fun that I end up wanting to do it during the day which hurts my productivity. I wish I had the self control to have my pen next to me and not smoke it until 8pm but I've found that even If I can do that for a week or a month, I always go back to doing it all day
Weed started as a war with boredom that then made me feel like life was boring without it. It’s taken a lot for me to overcome my addiction. My sleep has still not been the same. I simply don’t get restful sleep anymore which has a big mental effect on me but I still fight the battle. I’ve been in and out for the last 10 years and the advantage is I know my triggers so I stay clear. But the battle never stops. My mind tells me it misses the feeling, but I know the shame will far outweigh the short term joy of the high.

I found the only time I really actually enjoyed weed is while im consuming it, about 30 minutes later I start feeling crappy and want to consume more and it just becomes a vicious cycle.

Yeah, that’s true. You get all dudded out and can’t think straight and feel kinda crappy after that 30 min. But here I am 5 months sober and I’m not much better than when I was smoking. I’m a miserable bastard.

@@hvz0078 I went back to smoking, i guess i blamed weed but it was all my mind. I feel happy again that I smoked I go out more and have friends
I’m currrently going through huge depression + major DR/DP + severe panick attacks. Smoked for two years and everyday & im now A month and half clean. Had I known how draining this recovery process was I would’ve never picked up A joint.
I’m watching this right after smoking 😤,weed .thc was helping my depression,But I’m thinking about quitting I need to stop procrastinating my stomach issues are getting worse bad CHS that is. Abusing thc for 15+ years has created a problem that’s worse than my depression.Don’t abuse,medicate of or end up like me😔I’m at a hard spot in my life rite now dealing with addiction to thc🤢

Thank you. Thank you. I just have the worst thoughts when I stop smoking. Depression, harmful thoughts of throwing my life away. It’s so hard to go through life without having some numbing agent ready for use at all times. I just turned 20 2 weeks ago.

Dude so coming up on 21? DOESN'T mean you should drink, you may notice a lot of peers do, even before 21. But youre at a point in life right now to be crazy focused. Really focus on how you can provide VALUE to others in this world. He does mention in a video how he "stopped" and didn't quit. Telling you man, you know this now, you realized the real lies, so think about it, take the correct action now, so youre not thinking/doing the same in your late 20s. Or atleast be able to practice this control over behavior and emotions.
We need this video family

I got you guys!
I stopped smocking weed after I discovered this channel and dc frank. And thank god for his videos because everything he said is fucking TRUE. everything he experienced I experienced,I have crazy withdrawal symptoms but the fact that he explained to me that this is normal..it’s amazing I live in Italy and trust me, nobody talks about those topics. After these 4 days in bed (I’m still in bed) I’m just happy that I have all of this informations.I will never go back.
Even though working out on a regular basis is difficult for the lazy ones out there like me, when I manage to exercise I really experience that it helps a huge lot with depression. It's like the most helpful thing I've known so far.I wish meditation could help but I still haven't given myself the time to sit down and meditate.
Weed has kept me from self harm and suicide in multiple times in my life, before i started smoking i had a lot of depression that was caused by losing loved ones in my family, even my dogs had been poisoned and lost them both on the same day ,i had planned to end my life on a lot of occasions, a friend came by one day and offered a puff of his joint, to be honest, it was the 1st time in 3 years i had actually felt good in a span of 4 years suffering from life ending depression, my friend actually never saw me smiling and was shocked to see me smiling.3 years later I'm still here and today I'm happily married with a baby boy and another on the way, im still smoking in private and it hasn't affected my everyday life at home and at work, so in my opinion, it saved my life so to suffer through withdrawal is like saying thank you for saving my life, i mostly think that it all depends on the way you use it, but i guess people are different in the manor of withdrawal,me myself, i am a very active person and busy al the time,the worst withdrawal simtome i get is a headache at most. its all about the mindset
Word! I always enjoyed weed, when I was listenting to music, when I created something. Then something awful turned my life upside down and I had froze over several months. With weed. Later I've always been a irregular user, the amount was nothing compared to people around me. For a while it helped me with my ptsd, but then my anxiety got worse. I had to stop 3 months ago. I miss it. I am miserable, but not because of the lack of weed. It would be nice to still smoke one to be able to relax better from life's tension. But the downsides were overweighing and I also had too many bad examples in front of me. I look forward to one day enjoy it again, but I think I have a way better knowledge now about when that moment will be.
i see that majority of people started reaaaly young in there teens. im happy to say im 28 and i waited till 2 years ago to try it and i love it. i have a career, hobbies, engaged, and my own place. me and my fiance smoke together and have a blast jamming to music and talking about fun random things and board games too. i think the problem is people have started wayy to young before figuring life out. get your life together, then if you wish dabble into smoking for a treat here and there. best of luck to all of you. youre more powerful than you may feel or think. us humans are not made of glass. we are resiliant as fuck. those of you wanting to quit, you got this ✊️
I’m here for it Learning
I tried to quit weed 3 times ! I am smoking 7 years continuously regularly 5 grams of stuff ! It means at least 5_6 joints a day ! I gave for 3 months once and 1 month once ! But went back to it ! Now I have really given it up ! Let's see how long I can continue ! I shall be back here ! Thanks to this man ! His videos are so much helpful ... Thanks ❤ from India
I have found that if I’ve been taking a break from weed and I feel depressed then weed helps as a temporary cure. However if I start smoking regularly the weed can start to add to the depression. Ive found that exercise as simple as a 30 minute walk is very helpful. Moving the body really helps me both when I am or am not smoking weed.

Weed is more anesthetic then mind opening. Masking all the emotions with the high.
