[@Deepthinkerspace]

Where did this guy go?

[@crbarnes001]

I'm 57 and have been procrastinating for years. Because of you I've come off most social media, painted my mums fences and shed, done her lawn, painted her bathroom, built her swing all in one day. I've been putting it off for ages. Feels great to get them done. Thank you.

You are lucky to realize this at a young age.

[@TheDreamer1980]

Classic story hey, most of us are 40/50 before we properly figure out where we've been going wrong and " If only I could go back and relive my life , knowing what I know now" I wonder if how many of us would actually Implement these ideas given the chance to go back to 21 or just blow it all again!!

[@patricia871]

I am so happy I found you. Thank you so much!

[@Austin_B350]

I’m glad to have come across such a underrated channel managed by a young man with a mindset that puts you ahead of so many other people accepting of a life of conformity through addiction, as a current stoner I’ve been recently lowering the frequency of relapse after I came to realize that the once every weekend sort of deal turned into a daily thing, your videos truly help me overcome my addiction and give me a whole new perspective on how to quit 🙏 🙏

[@03giacomo]

Really appreciate that man, I'm glad I could help you

[@preml-ch3rp]

Bro the content is good I agree with that , but it's not underrated he just has 10 videos in this channel , But I'm glad I came across this channel ,God wanted me to see this channel and I'm thankful for that

[@disher_]

For real bro I’ve been stuck doing it daily after quitting for 8 months and thinking I could do it every weekend, then it would be a couple times a week. And now back to horrible overall mindset stuck in my shit daily routine

[@siltheseeker]

@@disher_ been thru it as well brother. Its literally impossible to do it sporadically because your dopamine receptors will be dumbed down everytime you smoke. Gotta quit and identify as a whole new being. Eliminate all shame off doing it and wasting money and just move on. Only way to overcome that shame is to overshadow your old self. And its honestly ez bc my old self was shvtty💯💯

[@lifeshighvibepureenergy1353]

With addiction it's conquering what is the problem creating the response system of the mind and body to be triggered, causing relapses,it's a battle within but once U have won that battle it's is so worth going threw to take back control of ya ego mind and body than U have conquered your addiction

[@bluebear6511]

Please don’t stop your content. It helps alot and you know it.

[@sahilalagh]

Bro... You just digged a person out of me who wants to improve himself... Please just keep going ❤

[@03giacomo]

I'm glad to hear that man

[@Luimusic]

Nah bro. I just picked up your video, watching it like the other 100's of self-help shitposts that I've been mindlessly accepting (Assuming it has to do with my highly-skewed dopamine levels) but as I kept going through the video, something tugged on my heart and my eyes started to water. This advice is GOLDEN. You're pretty much saying you can be addicted to absolutely anything your 'addiction entities' want because that's their purpose and job, but by becoming the 'observer' and letting these entities know who's boss and you can CUT THEM at ANY TIME. :) An epiphany has overwhelmed me, thank you so much brother.

[@03giacomo]

Awesome to hear man, I'm glad I could help

[@dyingoat]

My counsellor recommended this method called ‘urge surfing.’ You basically fight/accept the feelings, temptation, the urge & in 30 mins, it would calm down. it’s definitely worth a shot to those fighting an addiction !!

[@03giacomo]

Great tip, thanks for sharing that

[@Trueenate]

Your a gem man, people want crazy money just so they could gatekeep this type of info much love you just made the journey a lot easier I’ll make sure to come back to this!

[@marcop1389]

I agree!❤

[@rudradityaroy4408]

"Tonight you're gonna make the addiction as bad as possible so that you can't escape it" This is the line that hit me the hardest because I completely relate to it and it's a thought that comes to me everyday and the most twisted part of my mind is that there is also a subsequent thought after it which is like this will be the last time I'm indulging and from tomorrow morning I'll be doing everything perfectly and abstaining from all my addictions but that never happens but in this way I'm giving myself a sort of a free pass to do those things without shame or guilt. Any thoughts on it?

[@03giacomo]

I used to face those kinds of thoughts as well man. Both of those thoughts are not you, that's what you have to remember. Don't listen to either of them, do what you know you should deep down. You will probably get something from my newest video, its very similar to this one.

[@lightball1414]

Yeah, I get that too. The thought that you'll quit tomorrow is just another shot of dopamine and not really in sync with the reality which is the pain and suffering that come with the withdrawal and all of the work you'll have to put into riding it out. The shame and guilt come later after you feel defeated because you indulged and you end up feeling like you have no control. It can really make you feel inadequate and lower your self-esteem. I've learned a whole lot about self-love from my addictions.

[@lj5116]

I’m 31, and I’m taking your advice.

[@cc-skits655]

I really appreciate you talking about this as well as being honest about your own experience. I got a greencard for my anxiety and chronic pain 3 years ago and instead of using it purely medicinally, I've become an absolute stoner. And I hate it. I stopped just 2 or three days ago and was struggling a lot today. It's not easy to kick a habit, especially one like smoking, but at least knowing it's possible is a comforting thought. Thanks man

[@03giacomo]

Thanks for sharing your story man, you got this, don't listen to those thoughts telling you to indulge

[@TheRealSham]

I came into this video thinking I would not understand your point of view and that you would not have a sufficient understanding of a topic like this. I am going to say that I was completely wrong though, despite this video not being viral it still has potential to be so. Every now and then I stumble across something and it gives me a eureka moment, I realised when overcome my addictions that I have approached them in a similar way to this but without realising it. this gave me the motivation to keep going with my current path and way of thinking because it confirmed to me that I was right. It's always so intriguing when somebody else thinks of something that you thought you were completely alone on and struggling with, and the other person thinks of the exact same thing and describes it the exact same way. Thank you so much mate, this was the video I didn't know I needed!

[@03giacomo]

We're all so similar man, I'm glad you enjoyed the video

This is the most helpful video ive ever watched for my addiction. I want to be the best version of myself and listening to u gave me a solution to the root of every problem in my life. I wont say ill change. I want to say i am a changed person after watching this. I identify as my best version with boundaries. Thank you so much. Out of all the KZbinrs u are the one who is saving my life. Dont stop making these videos.

[@yassinetalbi5884]

I think the real issue here is not the addiction itself, but all areas of our lives that trigger the need to indulge in it. You sure nailed it like always , but I think there is more to it than just a simple chemical addiction , I’m talking about past traumas, life circumstances, self sabotaging the self, and basically all things related to self esteem that put us on “slave mode”

[@03giacomo]

For sure, the subconscious is deep, there's a lot of factors to overcome

[@KittyCatParty]

Thank you so much, I have been struggling with my own addictions for a while and have been in some denial. You are such a good smack of reality. I hope your channel blows up soon!

Keep making these videos. Even if it’s just you talking on a couch like this. They’re actually really helpful. Really glad to see there was no Red Pill, Alpha Make bullshit either. Just practica, non toxic advice.

[@Alex-qb2es]

A video from this channel suddenly popped up on my screen, I just watched a few minutes and immediately realized that here is someone who absolutely understands me and knows exactly what it's like to have addictions and want to get rid of them. That's why I subscribed directly and watch the videos from the beginning and then read through the blog. Your information is so good that I have a notepad and pause the videos and write down bullet points. Huge respect to you and please keep up the good work! Extremely valuable!

You fixed me little by little

[@RhinoG]

I am currently in the same situation u described in the video… stoner that can’t get anything done. I’ve smoked for 2 years now pretty much everyday multiple times a day. I’ve realized how severe that is and I want to quit. A couple of months ago I went 2 weeks off and thought highly of myself. I remember being so happy and proud of myself until one weekend with friends… led me straight back to square 1. I really appreciate this video for motivation. I will be sure to try this mentality from now on. I’m ready to get my life back

[@03giacomo]

Its a tough journey but it's worth it, you got this man 💪

[@SoundAsleepSpace]

You're not back to square 1 dude.. that's a silly conveyor belt thought. You had made great progress and you should be proud. 1 weekend every now and then is a tiny setback. just get back to normal asap after a recreational weekend.

[@mimcdo2639]

Thanks I need this message , it's hard when you have any type of addiction for years. I'm working so hard on my thoughts, by praying, meditation, , frequency wave and vibration s. Even with this is help is hard. But I will continue my effort to release any negative thought or switch to a positive one. It's a daily working one. I mean it's feel much better now before I start helping myself. That's why I need to occupy my mind 24/7 by keeping my self busy all the time. Anyway thanks again. 🙌🙏

[@aperson2020]

[@wayne2104]

Everyone of your videos is absolutely on-point! Two clear pieces of advice, here. I can see that to become an observer of throughts, mindful meditation would help achiever that. For changing your identity - any advice on how to make that change stick and be continually concious of it rather than subconciously slipping back into old, comfortable perceptions of self?

[@03giacomo]

My consistency video demonstrates how the two identities are always in conflict, I will make more videos on that subject soon, thank you for watching man

I am yet to start kicking my weed addiction, I have been totally blasted every evening for the better part of 6 months. I am diagnosed with adhd and struggled with motivation even before I fell in and identified myself as a stoner. A part I found really hard to wrap my head around was trying to identify as productive because I just don't want to be productive, there is no interest in it for me. However this video really changed my perspective on how to handle addiction particularly when you mentioned the "quit smoking" mindset and your thought process of saying "that's not me". Thankyou for the content, fingers crossed this is the catalyst for change

[@03giacomo]

I'm glad the video was eye opening man, make that change happen 💪
