You might feel hopeless and frustrated after a relapse. You might feel like you let your loved ones down. You might struggle to get back on track, because you feel that relapsing means that recovery and sobriety are not meant for you. But if you relapse, go easy on yourself. Shame and self-blame won't be helpful after a relapse. Just remember that addiction is a disease and you are still vulnerable to relapsing. Stay strong everyone!👋❤💪

After 16 years blazing everyday it's finally time for me to stop. This got me through the last 3 days. Thank you so much

13 days sober from weed. Got so sick from smoking everyday. Starting to feel clear again, thank you sir.

Day 9 for me. My spirit is depleted but I'm pushing through.

I hardest part for me when I relapse on weed is 1. Having to do that day 1-3 over again.. it’s really really hard . And 2. After I make it about to day 10 is when I tend to relapse am taking that little break brings my tolerance down enough that when I do smoke again for the first time it’s an amazing feeling like I’m smoking for the first time.. it quickly fades an doesn’t last an I’m off to the races again.. I just can’t get over the boredom.. even when I do get up an do something productive, I’m not enjoying it… I’m not enjoying anything really

When I want to smoke I go run instead. Thank you!

I had quit for almost a year but the desire for it never left. I found myself just more bored, and not being able to sleep. I have a healthy lifestyle and I’m a business owner that’s making 6 figures. I just like weed so much. It’s easy to stop doing it, but it always seem to linger when it’s 3am and I can’t sleep. I’ve struggled with insomnia, my whole life. Weed was the only thing that helped me but I was addicted to it. I smoke sometimes now, but I’m not a daily user anymore. I wish I could quit completely, but I just like it too much and my life isn’t really suffering any consequences from it. I feel like I’m in such an unusual predicament most people don’t get it. I hate substances I don’t wanna be dependent on anything. Thank for your encouragement, Dr. Frank. I just need to find something in my life that fulfills me more than the weed does. I don’t understand why it’s so appealing to me.

I don’t 100% understand what your going through but at a point I definitely feel what your going through. Its not easy for me to quit at all due to the fact I like it just so much like you do. I always find myself bored as well or not able to sleep, etc. I hate the feeling of being dependent on something but just like you do I like it so so much. Just wanted to make this comment to relate that I don’t know what to do either. It’s a very weird predicament.

It’s true, you can make more videos, take all the medications, but it is truly up to one’s self to stop there addiction and work on having a better and happier life without all the toxins. Thank you Dr. Frank.

Guys, I'm on my 4th day. Today was hard because I'm going into my 1st weekend and its Friday, Im off of work. I wanted to go buy weed so bad. I couldn't even go to work the 1st day and I slept until almost noon I went to bed at 1030pm. My mom woke me up. My energy levels have been horrible the next 2 days I came home from work and fell asleep. I did have better energy today. I don't have any energy for the gym. I did go 2 days early in the week but they were low energy workouts, but I'm happy I went. I'm happy I didn't Relapse but it's so hard. I'm weathering the storm, and I know one day I will feel better! Wish me Luck and Good luck everybody out there.

I smoked as an excuse to get out of working hard. I’d say well if I’m high there is no way I can handle working. ‘Work’ as we know it in most cases sucks. You don’t need to smoke to avoid it, just avoid it sober. Work smarter not harder, fuck being a slave to work or a drug.

I've been trying for six months to quit smoking cigarettes. Last week, I did the one thing, by accident, that had convinced me to quit for good. I dropped my cigarette on the floor. Not wanting to waste a cigarette, and also not wanting to put a germy cigarette in my mouth, I cut a two inch by two inch piece from a paper towel and used that to protect my mouth as I took hits. I took a different hit on each part of the paper towel. When I was done, I was absolutely shocked at the deep brown spots that were all over. The cigarette filter, while obviously not white afterward, looked much more yellow than any form of brown. I suggest if you smoke cigarettes that you try this if you really want to see the truth of what you are inhaling.

It’s humiliating for me to admit this, but using w33d for years to help with nausea caused by a chronic illness led to me being dependent on it. It also eventually led to me getting Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome from overuse. Has that stopped me? Not exactly. I’ll tell myself that I’m only going to do it once and then get rid of it. That doesn’t happen, either. Why am I admitting to this on here? I don’t know. Maybe somebody else out there who doesn’t believe that you can get hooked on something stupid like w33d will recognize what I’m talking about and cut back or stop completely before it’s too late. 🙃
