Loneliness is one of the biggest factors for me. It’s hard to quit when you’re always alone & the weed helps distract from that.

[@cameronc7800]

you're anything but alone Darik, I heard in a jordan peterson video (with Dr John Delony) that you start small to make new friends/ find a community. you can start with the lost art of a handshake, and eye contact when greeting someone new. that makes a good impression. find a place like a coffee shop you like, or even a restaurant and meet the register worker, introduce yourself as someone who will be a regular there. something I need to teach myself too: People won't bite you. remember that, people yearn for attention/someone to call them by their name with a smile on a regular basis. That's what a friend is!

It's so cool to see homies in the comments supporting each other in quitting. Any time I've mentioned quitting to the people around me, they've tried to make me feel dumb for it, and like weed is a miracle drug. We can all do it, here's to self-improvement.

[@ast.iko94370]

I hate that ! I’ve been speaking about my desire to quit and being stressed about the withdrawal, and some smokers always answer with « weed is not addictive/i can quit whenever I want/weed is good and has no side effects on anyone » like they’re completely ignoring the 10% we make of marijuana users, the 10% that actually have problematic use. Reading comments here and watching these videos is somehow reassuring.

A huge one for me, is that with drug and alcohol addiction, my relapses were almost never during bad moments. They would happen during “good” moments, where I felt too secure that I was improving my life, and so a couple drinks/joints/whatever wouldnt hurt. Then find myself back at square one within a short period of time

I really love how you acknowledge that there are valid reasons to smoke cannabis, or consume cannabis, but those valid reasons can’t come before getting sober in addiction. I have an addictive brain, I’ve given up all other drugs, but haven’t been able to give up cannabis, and though I’m not “ready“, if I don’t begin at some point, I’m never going to be ready. Great video!

[@420saralou]

Cannabis isn't addictive. It has over 400 properties and not a single one is addictive. I'm about to be 45, been smoking since I was 16, stopped during both my pregnancies, started back up and then it became legal in 2016. I've been a medical card holder for 3 years now. Cannabis is my medicine. Getting stoned is a perk! When you have chronic pain and can't take nor want to take pills, weed is the best alternative.

[@justinlea8045]

@@420saralouThat’s great that it works for you! But your experience doesn’t speak for everyone else, I believe the addiction aspect is dependent on the person, while I love smoking weed, I was very much addicted to it, I would smoke all day and just ignore my priorities cause I valued getting baked over actually being functional and getting my life together so at that point I really had no choice but to stop, currently on day 9 of no weed, it really was the big obstacle that I had to accept in order to be able to accomplish what I want in life, like I said before if it works, that’s great and more power to you but just because there is no addictive properties in it doesn’t mean that it’s not addictive

Smoked weed almost everyday since 16, stopped for 2 months at 18, but started smoking again. I'm 21 rn, and I haven't smoked for 4 months. I quit cold turkey when I had reached my peak. My problem is when I start smoking I can't stop myself from smoking more everyday. I thought about smoking today, but it's been so long since I had spent so much time without smoking. I'm proud of myself, but I don't know why I'm such an addict in general. I have this constant tendency of wanting to drown myself in something, why can't I just be happy without getting that release? I probably put too much pressure on myself. I just want to be at peace. I can't let myself be.

[@saintessa]

could you have another issue, like perhaps adhd? I found out I do, so I definitely have to quit so I can take proper medication. You can do it

[@paulmilwee9940]

Robert, started when I was 14, I'm now 64! I've quit several times in my life. Try exercising, eat good, surround yourself with only quality people, don't give up. Drink water. Take yourself out of yourself. When you finally realize you are the source of your own pain, you will quit. Get help. Don't isolate. Life is short & time is precious... Good 🤞

[@kayvoee3295]

There are other things in your life that you need to iron out. There will never be “peace” in life because it’s not meant to be a one sided joyride of happiness. Once you become comfortable with being uncomfortable that’s when your predicament becomes your solitude. Every living thing on this planet has some sort of purpose. You weren’t put on this earth just to feel happy. Don’t live for happiness or peace, live for a purpose.

Made my 1st full week not smoking weed. Let’s see what week 2 brings!

[@internettruth5390]

I was in 10th grade when I decided I wanted to turn to weed. 6 years later and I’m still living with my parent downing endless amounts of weed and vapes. I had a football scholarship I had a girlfriend I had good men around me. The weed and vapes changed me by the time I hit 12th I lost all my friends. I lost my heathy muscles and tan skin. I lost the ability to play football and I lost the focus I had built from pre k till 11th which caused me to drop out. 18 years old now I’m 23 and I haven’t did anything but work and supply my habbits. I was this close to making it out of a hard life I grew up in. Now I’m watching my once called friends Get married move into houses having baby’s and actually look there age. While I’m over here tying to get myself out of a addiction hole that I digged way to deep for myself.

[@24viral]

We can always revert to comparison. The next guy is better than the next guy, who’s trying to become the next guy. What you did and what has happened doesn’t have to define what you do going forward. Hit the turf again: run some drills and routes. Work until you’re exhausted. Learn something new: a trades skill, new hobby, or make a spiritual epiphany. Get involved and meet people! This might be hard, so try to volunteer or get involved in your local community center. There’s still time. I hope everything goes well for you my brother. I don’t know who you are, but I will keep you in my prayers.

I guess where ive always gone wrong is I just think i have to gain control over my habit, rather than totally abstain. So i would go 2-3 weeks sober, and then re introduce weed slowly. The problem is, the control never lasted. Give it another 2-3 weeks of casual use and Id be right back where i started smoking chronically. This is the first time ive realized I can probably never smoke again. Or at least 90 days like you said.thanks for the Info. I always felt like there was no help for weed addiction. Really appreciate it!

Supposedly, it takes 30 days for dopamine levels to return to normal. I’m on day 2 of my 30 day journey, and then I’ll see if I still want to smoke. Like you, I think I want to continue smoking weed, but more as a special treat on occasion rather than something I rely on every day.

[@ghostlandwildman4219]

This vice of ours clouds our minds and numbs our pain. We have to face reality head on. After years of avoiding life and constantly being high I haven't gotten far.. I had recently quit smoking weed after what seems like 10 years of abuse. I had quit for a few months and in those moments of clarity I realized how much I haven't really grown. Hiding so much I didn't experience life and I don't even know who I am. How much is me and how much is the weed? Now as I write this I see the road ahead and how much work and pushing through I'll have to do. But it's better than being on this dirt road to no where. Quit now while youre dancing around the void of addiction. Once you fall in, crawling out will take everything in you. But it's possible. Cut your losses short. Don't even start.

[@gabrielle-d1b]

Wow, I'm going very similar. Feels like I wasted 5 years upon the 2 years I broke down mentally before I started the weed. Seeing how much time I wasted makes me not want to start back up again. It really slows down your perception of time.

I really love this channel. You have some great advice. A Friday night alone ahead of a week off work in preparation for week 3 and i was feeling overwhelmed with fear and anxiety - that impending doom feeling. Also doubting my ability to make it through other challenges outside of addiction recovery i am faced with atm. After watching several of your videos and reading numerous comments from the community, i feel vastly more confident and positive about this recovery journey and eagerly await my NA meeting on Sunday because finally i will share, and state my clean time. 41 years old mostly smoking daily since 14. Longest clean time was 7 months and that was probably the most successful period in my life. No more getting comfortable thinking that a little puff, ‘medication’ or ‘reward’ now and then won’t lead to outright daily dependency and tolerance that then leads to crippling lethergy and brain fog. I hate the fact i’ve lost valuable time along with the trust of my family with this addiction. Congratulations to all who made it and i hope to see you on that side of the fence soon.

Shit’s so hard. I already struggle with insomnia and having no appetite, even with the help of weed. My father has been a daily user since he was 14, and unfortunately I fell into the same habit at 16 as he’s always taught us it’s ‘medicine’ and even encourages me to use it whenever I complain of nausea/anxiety/pain. I’m now almost 22 and i’ve never spent a single dollar on weed (father’s ..resources..), and I can’t remember the last time I went more than 3 days without, which just makes it 10000x harder because it’s so easily accessible. Literally all I have to do is walk out into the dining room and there’s about $100 worth on the table, readily accessible at any given point in time. Everyone in my house is high 24/7, but I believe I have ADHD and to get any sort of medical help for that I have to do a drug test… if I can even just quit for long enough to pass a pee test & just go back to recreational i’ll be happy. But I don’t see it being easy…

[@pratyushpherwani713]

So when you smoke weed your body stops going into rem sleep. In this rem sleep is when you actually dream. So if you for example smoke regularly your body will not go into rem sleep until you quit. Although now that you quit your body is trying to catch up with all the rem sleep it has lost. Hence the dreams.
