I smoked weed for 13 years straight everyday multiple times a day and now im 1 week without weed and alcohol and i feel like im reborn lol and i know the feeling is only gonna get better the more time i have without it. Everything you said was right on point! I never thought i could get off of it cuz i depended on it for so long..the first couple days SUCKED. I dont know what was worse the headaches or the vivid dreams i was having. But im so glad i stopped and whoever is reading this IT IS possible and dont give up! Just wanted to write this quick to help anyone thinking they cant do it cuz you can! Stay strong people 💪

First time I smoked weed I was 12, started regularly smoking weed when I was 14 and then daily smoking at 15. I'm 23 now and I'm 5 days sober. Kinda tough to think about how it may have affected my brains development. I cant change the past, it is what it is. But I can take control of my future. Here's to finding the "high" in all of life's other bounties.

I'm a natural leader and weed has made me lurk in the shadows and not shine like I'm suppose to do. I quit cigs, and alcohol years ago and that took several attempts. Good luck to everyone trying to give it up weed, you can do it.

this is my 4th attempt at sobriety . Ive got up to 2 yrs 7 mos before I relapsed and now have 3 weeks again . I began smoking cigs and weed in 1975 at age 10, never got be a kid due to alot of abuse trauma and crazy. Just feel blessed to be alive. I struggle with isolation in covid and the fact that most of my friends and my partner died decades ago & the few I had left were so toxic and part of the old me I had to let them go . It's not easy but its worth it, if I can do it, anyone can. Learning how to live again at 58, looking around at my apt, my neighborhood, the people I I had in my life, where I work all made me realize the only way i could tolerate them all was to be high all the time. working on major changes and to accomplish the goals I set when I moved to NYC 35 yrs ago. thanks for your videos

Almost a month off weed and I feel all these benefits ! :) The biggest benefit I have felt in the last couple weeks is the quality of sleep and dreaming .. omg I feel like I'm dreaming for the first time in a decade and they are absolutely amazing! .. even if they are scary or bizarre sometimes its still mind blowing and I also find I need less sleep because the quality has increased so dramatically. Another favorite benefit is the 'follow through factor' that has increased productivity, I'm actually resuming tasks I started the day or days before.. I sometimes think weed was giving me ADD and I'm finding a great deal of focus returning.

HEYYY quick update ... I recently hit 6 months no weed! Ive probably saved about 3 grand on my 2 ounce a month habit. I've been absolutely crushing life focused as hell! Honestly wish I would have done this 10 years ago but no time like the present.. I rarely crave weed whatsoever when I smell it out in public its crazy to think that was totally my driving around all high and finding every excuse I could to be in a place to sneak a toke.. speaking of that being able to travel and fly different places and not have to worry about all the bs of hiding your stash and sneaking around is like phenomenal! I feel like a normal person again.. if you're thinking about quitting just go for it, if you can make it past the first week keep going and keep going more after that the benefits are unreal!

One benefit is definitely a regular appetite, not dependend on weed consumption. Another was the increase in mental clarity. And the ability to feel my emotions in the way they are supposed to.

When I realize it's past 4:20 and I haven't even thought about weed, I know I'm doing good work on myself. It doesn't take too incredibly long before your brain moves on (with this one...) Writing, journaling, and exercise helps. Quitting weed isn't "easy" but compared to quitting most drugs, it's easyyyy peasy I gotta say. I will still crave it and dream about it but then realize how the positives outweigh the negatives. You can do this if you want to and know why, dear reader. Improved memory, energy, libido, learning, and much more await you on the other side: Good luck!

What blew me away is that, what you shared and outlined was basically the exact same experience I had with pot, and quitting. Two things that really stood out was starting off with munchies, and then ending with no appetite (I started using it as an appetite suppressant because I was too lazy to eat). The other thing was how it started by alleviating anxiety, but how later it severely increased it from lack of purpose and fulfillment. Great stuff! I appreciate this video and what you're helping people to do!

Maybe it had to do with my the people I hung around, my wife's habits, past experiences. The weed definitely had a hold of me.

Im in my day 2 of not smoking… currently binge watching your videos while I do cardio. In my 2 days of not smoking weed I notice that I got my talkative side back without being anxious about what people might think. And smoking for years gave me a lot of social anxiety and overthinking since im an exterovert and i think about a lot of random things 😅. Thank you for your strength, courage, and videos! ❤

Im 2 weeks into quitting weed and i’m 12 days without vaping and it’s really hard because i’m surrounded by my friends that do them both regularly and I have been so tempted to just try it once and only do it socially as supposed to every single day but I also don’t want that to snowball into addiction again. Also I have had experience with cannabis induced psychosis multiple times and I’m afraid that might happen if i smoked weed again.

I am on day 18 of quitting weed, i can definitely say that I have improved memory and am more productive but I still deal with anxiety and feelings of apathy and a lack of creativity..As an artist and musician it's really hard, because I often used weed to spark creativity and interest but now as I quit something is missing. I'm sure I just have to keep going and give it more time. Your videos help me stay on track, thanks!

Memory, appetite, sleep, are all getting more normal and I can genuinely laugh at things now. These videos help so much and I keep watching them because they're great reminders at what you have to look forward to and what you have to leave in the past.

@@adrianvang4560 I personally think the best remedy for withdrawals is distraction. Just doing other things to keep busy so you don't crave weed in your down time. Withdrawals are gonna happen either way as thats just your body healing so embracing it is the way to go I think. However exercise and meditation are also huge for me. Addiction Mindset has some videos on thc withdrawal as well that are probably really useful. I've been struggling again with quitting as I'm on day 1 now haha but I know we can do it.

I have managed to quit cigarettes about 2 months ago after 2-3 years of smoking and now's the time for weed. This is my 4th day, I have been fantasizing a lot about quitting (also tried to do a few times before) but I never actually made the decision to do it. I'm also quitting alcohol with it, since it has also been a major problem for me for way too long now. That feeling in me that I could do a lot better than addiction finally won (had to go through a terrible acid trip, but at least it was extremely beneficial)

I hit 5 days off weed today and it's clear how it was negatively affecting me. I woke up more rested, I'm sharper throughout the day, I can remember more, I feel more motivated. The downside so far has been feeling bored again. When you're high, it's hard to be bored with anything. The good news is that I feel more motivated to be productive.

So I'm heavy smoker for 13 years now I'm 27 and I decided to quit it and start to exercise I had 2 surgeries and got 65 pounds in 2 years , I trained Tae-Kwon-Do for 12 years and I was fucking good I have more then 35 gold medals and 20-30 bronze and silver..... !eed fucked my sport career! and I started to hang out with ¨thugs¨ I was expelled from 2 high schools , In junior school I was 1 of 5 best students in whole school, then came street life - drugs partying alcohol fighting(that's reason why I broke my wrist and now I have like 60-70 % handicap hand)This is my 2nd day without weed and I already feel better ,less anxious and I can't sleep but I have decided to take control of my life again! Hope one day I'll become Tae-Kwon-Do coach to train kids and keep them from street life. Hope you all find inner peace and hope I'll find it! Cheers guys!

Not tryna be that guy but after smoking weed for 5 years I can understand why it’s illegal in a lot of countries. Weed addiction is a real thing. Don’t get me wrong it has its benefits for some people but when your smoking everyday just for the sake of it it can really mess you up. I was constantly shaking and didn’t understand why. I was always hiding away in my house on the weekends when I didn’t have work. Weed culture is overrated asf and it doesn’t tell you the negative effects weed addiction has on you. Only the positives. Fuck weed

I also used to have like this heat in my brain that didn't let me sleep, slowly it's going away. I smoked. For a month smoking everyday getting high, even tho I didn't put much weed, I hope at four weeks I'll see even drastic positive changes.
