😢this is soo good I’m over smoking just trying to get to the point where I don’t think about smoking

I quit a few years ago but the opposite happened 😫

I started smoking when I was 20, about once a week. I started noticing that it was a problem when I was about 30, getting high every day. For a whole year, I tried to scale it down to once a week. Couldn't do it. Then I intended to take a 3-month break. I didn't mess up once. Stayed clean for 3 months. But was still constantly craving it. After the break, I intended to get high once a week. Couldn't do it. Slipped IMMEDIATELY back into daily use. After another year of this, without making any conscious decision, my use gradually reduced to once a week (whenever I was at my band's recording studio). Then I realized I wasn't even enjoying that anymore. I'm 30 days sober today and not craving it anymore. At all. None of it felt like it was in my control. For two years, I tried to scale back my use and couldn't. When I stopped, it didn't feel like a conscious decision. I just slowly lost my appetite for it. Didn't feel like getting high anymore. TL;DR, I don't think it's possible for me to give suggestions to someone else who wants to quit. Because WANTING to quit did nothing for me. Quitting just happened on its own.

The problem I’m running into quitting weed is that I have severe withdrawal symptoms, I throw up, I sweat, I have migraines and I can’t function at work without vomiting. I’ve been heavily taking dabs for 6 years I’ve developed a lot of physical withdrawal symptoms when I go a few hours not smoking. How do I get rid of the vommitting ect? It’s physically hard on my body when I don’t smoke. Like I literally get physically sick so how do I quit

No guide is needed for reading Malaz. It's a book. Just read it.

For me it's not so much "I want to be home and smoke", for me it's like "I don't like all the stresses and all the stimulation and all the contortions I have to do to fit in and when I come home the only thing I can use to cope with relative ease is weed".

Day-12 for me after almost 12 years smoking everyday. I had a period of being clean and sober (7 years) in my 20’s and started smoking again. After many years and getting sick way too often (colds that would travel from nose and head to my chest, took a good few weeks to get totally better) and feeling way too dependent on it. Lots of coughing and chest congestion. Nothing feels as good as the freedom from any kind of substance, addiction and dependency sucks! I’m through the worst of it but looking forward to being able to sleep without melatonin and also getting my energy back, which has a lot to do with the quality of sleep getting off it. I’m committed to riding it out, looking forward to seeing what I’m like (and feel) totally clean and sober!🌱

This stuff you kids are smoking ain't the same weed us 80 kid smoked. Weed is a good experience at 8% thc. At 20% it schizophrenic anxiety.

Weed is a waste of money n time

Did it or did it make you more arrogant & delusional my experience is people think there better it's just arrogance, prove me wrong surpass Elon with your new found super intelligence.

0:41 It's called "Effort justification." It's related to the ikea effect and sunk cost fallacy, but it's not the same thing. It's a common factor in cult behavior. They tend to have very demanding behaviors required to join the cult. So after you get in, you justify the effort because you don't want it to be waisted. From there, the cult can get people to believe some pretty crazy stuff. I don't know how I feel about effort justification as a writing technique. On one hand, I do think Lord of the Rings is elevated by the fact that it's written in a way that makes it feel like an old tail passed down through the ages. And the little bit of effort it takes to understand the dead references and the like. On the other hand, let's just say I don't agree with this appraisal of Memories of Ice.

Very good information, I,m 56 and have been smoking 40 years. This has been my first week sober !!

I started out really disliking Karsa, but man... he has one of the most interesting arcs in the entire series. He goes from bloodthirsty barbarian to being a warrior philosopher. Somehow Erikson sells that transformation.

This is one of the better videos I’ve seen about quitting weed thanks for the upload! The most I’ve listened to and connected with and just feels real so I’m here for it thanks! I’m currently in that zone where I know I need to stop but I just keep using it. I just can’t seem to go even one day without and I have a lot of shame around using it every time I fail my goals (I’m dependant) have CPTSD so it can be very difficult but I’ll get there one day I hope. Awesome vid thanks!

It's a nice read Although I liked house of chains more

Quiting smart , made me weeder

One thing that happened to me after 20 years of smoking weed is that it stopped helping me forget about unpleasant things, and it started amplifying them. This was actually a good thing for me, because instead of getting high and feeling good, I would get high and start feeling really guilty about it. I would think of all of the things that I should be doing, but can't do because now I'm high. High me didn't want to be high, it only sounded good when I was sober... eventually high me decided, that I love weed, but I just can't do it anymore. I hope everyone watching this can get to this point.

Dude your story mirrors mine almost to the T. Thank you for uploading this video, helped me make the steps i needed to take to get my shit back on track.

im 37, I smoked my first at 20 years old. Today I stopped.

This is the probably the best and one of the most relatable vids I’ve found regarding giving up addiction to weed. Thanks for sharing!!

Great video! i like the way you worded everything, very intelligent and articulate. Its all so relatable. Keep it going!

One word at a time. On book 6 and loving it.

Fisst gamet🔥🔥🔥

Is there any data out there to suggest smoking Pot actually lowers iQ scores?

Starting Smoking Weed Made Me Smarter and Improved My Life

An important aspect is to observe yourself carefully: note how after a while, your witts come back, your whole energy and vibe changes, you are not overwhelmed so easy. Also note that it's not a miracle cure, problems will be problems, I got 99 problems but being a distanced, angsty stoner finally ain't one

you need to get a life mate dont blame weed its you not the weed i smoke and ii made 2 mill last year from my farm we work all day have have good fun we go out every fri sat night we eat so well and we grow weed look at my life then look at you trying to blame weed for your lonly life

ADHD phone zombies

Thanks for this man. Your video has given me that tiny little push I needed to see what a life without weed might be like.

iv been smoking since i was 14 im 36 now been 3 days with out weed i had a anxiety attack that's one of the reasons im quitting im so skinny because when im hungry i just have a bong and my hunger will go and i forget to eat and when i do eat i haven't got appetite to finish my meal since i had a anxiety attack it hasn't stop that all im thinking about is jumping off something high just to stop the feeling proper scary i got 4 kids i dont wanna die but can't handle this shit much more iv been feeling something coming on for the last 2weeks i just was telling my self you ok and it would pass but the last 3 days been hard i dont know wa to do sorry for my spelling

13 years of smoking, entering my second month of being pot free!! Tired of wasting my time being high all the time, I feel deep inside of having potentials of bettering my life that smoking weed just kept on hindering

SPOILERS: The tiste edur that bug kills when defending tehol (by dumping him into the warren of ruse at a crushing water depth) is the tiste edur body that Paran and Quick Ben find in book 3, Memories of Ice. They come close to figuring out what killed him. Their best guess was rapid decompression, but they couldn't figure out how that was possible. Bug was so pissed off, he yeeted that edur down and through the warren of ruse and the body popped up on another continent, flopped up and out of a shallow stream on the opposite side of the world.

A small correction. “Prospero Burns” is actually the 15th book in the Horus Heresy collection. So if you read it in order you would read “A Thousand Sons” (Book 12) first. I think the author chose a more skimmed version in “Prospero Burns” because if you read in order you would already know the more detailed battle from “A Thousand Sons”.

day 2, struggling, but im focusing at the bigger picture

After 31 years and a pause of 2 years 5 years ago. I decide 8 days ago to quit

Consider this; if our naughty government says it’s okay to smoke weed, that is totally sus, and a good reason to not smoke. Besides, your brain makes better drugs than you can grow or buy.

Nice! How’s that freedom feel?

just finished it yesterday and I loved it, what a masterpiece, not going to lie, cried like a baby at certain events near the end, and laughed throughout too. I've never read books where I had to stop so many times to re-read a passage because it struck me so hard and true. I've loved each book more than the last, hope this continues for book 4 and beyond, what an amazing series!

Thank you for the video man. I've had a similar journey, had a 1month break fell back for a month and i'm 2 weeks in now on my quitting journey:)

I also came from a faze of smoking on a regular and it's not cool because not everyone functions well to do so all the time...I micro dose now and only occasionally and my life is just more clear of thoughts

Quitting over and over and over again for 50 years, I regret ever quitting all those times. If you don't have issues that require cannabis, you probably shouldn't use it. It's not a party drug, but stress medicine. In particular, it has always been the preferred stress medicine the traumatized victims of 60 years of violent and sexually perverse alcohol related crimes, including the sexual abuse of 10s of millions of children, used to treat traumatic stress and other disorders. Make sure you are not taking us back to being ruled by alcoholics and codependents who waged war on the traumatized victims of the nation's drunken debauchery.

How are the audiobooks

Trull Sengar is one of my favorite characters in any fantasy story I've read.

Deadhouse Gates is one of the best books I ever read. What people seem to miss with Malazan is you need to take the book in as if you are a person there watching the conversation taking place. Subtleties of conversation are not explained to you as if you are a distant observer, but rather a person there observing a real in person conversation. That will help to pick up on the flow of conversation. No big information drops, you need to pick up on styles of conversation, as you do in a real life conversation

I just finished MOI and I agree. One of the best books I have ever read. I may put Deadhouse Gates slightly higher on my list but MOI is right there. As for Steve’s writing style, I personally like it. You have to pay attention to pick up on the innuendos as there are no spoon feed information drops and conversation are as you would expect a conversation to flow in the real world, again with no information drops to hold your hand. The book definitely touched on relationships, self reflection and redemption. I love how his prologue is in a way a metaphor for what is to come in the book. I really enjoyed Lady Envy and I hope she reappears in the following books. I also really enjoyed the ending scene with Tool and felt it was well deserved. Odd to say but I miss this book even though I just finished it

You're not on Discord?

I don't know how you(reading this) is going to take this, but nobody, absolutely nobody cares if you quit weed. It is all up to you if you want to make your life better. Just like how nobody cares if you go to the gym or not 💪

quitting weed aint shit. you sleep bad for a week maybe, then you're golden. ez money. if you get any of these "anxiety" affects, thats on you, and weed isn't your ticket.
