My uncle is also on one of those sex offender lists. He says life is actually easier when you live in a big city because people don't really know each other that well. Like, have you ever seen that movie "The Woodsman" with Kevin Bacon? If his charachter would have chosen a bigger population to move around after he got out of prison he could have blended in easier you know what I'm saying?

Smoked for 6 straight years without ever taking a break longer than 12 hours. Didn't realize how much it hampered me down until I decided to quit cold turkey just a few days ago. A lot of pacing around at night, (trying to minimize my use of sleeping medication.) My biggest challenge is that it's hard to keep my mind "still" without that nighttime toke before bed, but my memory's coming back and so is half of my monthly income.

[@tacosforever]

Okay so it is 4:11 am and I can't sleep, so I feel like sharing my experience to whoever wants to read this. 29 yo here, been smoking daily for the past 7 years. I have always been kind of anxious and depressed person (I see it is pretty common among us). At the beggining weed seemed to help fight the anxiety. I would get home at night and just smoke a couple joints while playing videogames or watching documentaries, whatever indeed, weed made anything interesting enough, I just wanted to cope and not overthink. This was fine for, let's say, the first three or four years. Of course, tolerance built up and weed turned into straight routine. It stopped being fun, it stopped being magical. I would smoke and smoke expecting that blast from the first times. But of course that never happened again. During these past months and after finishing a PhD in pharmacy (oh the irony) I had a lot of free time. You would think I took advantage and pick up some hobbies, get exercise, be more social, whatever. But reality was I would be home for straight days or even entire weeks being "high" and just sitting in front of my computer. My motivation was buried underground, my happiness just non existent. It got to a point I was only living to smoke and get high again. I would go on vacation and be counting the days until I could get home and be wasted again. If I couldn't smoke for a day or two it just felt like the apocalipsis, like I wouldn't be able to go through it. Not to talk about money, what years ago could last for a month now I was smoking it in a week, and everytime I was running low on weed the anxiety of not being able to get more on time would be crushing me. I felt so guilty man... Like when you know you are doing the shit but still don't want to accept you need to change for good. Weed literally feel like a black hole for me, it would suck me in and not let me do any of the things I ever wanted to do. God, I can barely recall doing anything useful during these years (except from the PhD which I absolutely hated btw). I just feel like I have been living the same day over and over again for the last 7 years. Now I got a job which requires me to drive and I'm also moving with my amazing girlfriend (thanks god she understands my situation and supports me, I'm very thankful of it). That plus this feeling of guilt made me realize the time for change has come. Honestly, I don't want to quit weed, I still love it, but man, I know I have a toxic relationship with it and I just don't want to throw my life away because of it. I hope some day I can get to enjoy it with moderation, but now it is the time to quit for good. It is day 9 for me and I'm not gonna lie, this is awful. For me, physical symptoms are not being that hard, but mentally? Damn. The first 3 days I was probably top 10 irritable persons on earth. These last days I'm just depressed as fuck. I feel like a blank paper, like all emotions have been removed from me. I don't want to do anything, I have massive difficulties getting up from bed, eating is being so so hard, and I just can't get the energy nor the motivation to go outside and do activities. I don't want to blame myself, I knew it would be hard and I want to be patience. Both because I have knowledge about toxicology and the experiences from other users here I know these shitty emotions are just temporary. I think I'm now at the phase of having it idealized, missing it so much, wondering how can even enjoy life again without weed, how can I get through the day without that joint at the end of it as a reward. At the same time, I'm aware this is gonna pass and I will eventually have another perspective about it. As any other drug, nicotine or alcohol for example,or even an ex-partner, our brains just got used to release dopamine within their use. I'm missing it because that's the only thing my brain has associated to being "happy" or "feeling good". However, it will slowly readjust and eventually start feeling better by just doing normal things. About cravings, they come and go. Really, they don't stay there forever. I read in a guide you have to learn how to notice them, feel them and let them go. Get distracted, it doesn't matter what it is, just try to be busy, don't think. Specially the first days. We are all humans and nobody is perfect. I'm not going to say to you you should eat healthy three times a day, exercise, go for a 1h walk, be social. You probably don't feel like doing it or lack the motivation. It is okay, don't push yourself, this is already hard enough. If you find distracting endlessly scrolling twitter for hours go for it. If you want to play videogames the whole day go ahead. If you feel lazy as fuck to cook a healthy food just order a pizza or whatever. I think these first days the battle should be only against the temptation of consuming again, there is plenty of chances in the future to put in order other aspects of your life. Stay busy, be comfortable, however it is. Lastly, there are gonna be times when being busy is just not enough. Maybe you smell weed in the streets, maybe you see someone talking about in twitter, maybe you do something that triggers the nostalgia about it... Try to be strong. I found very useful talking about it with my friends and girlfriend. Try to get some support from others when you get overwhelmed. They are going to tell you they are proud of your commitment and how strong you are being, and most probably you just won't care (at least it happens to me, I feel just so numb). But hey, if you think about it, these people love you and want the best for you. Don't worry if you get too bitchy with them, they will understand, and you can always apologize after. For the last tip, if you really are questioning wheter weed is being helpful or harmful to you, don't doubt. It is being harmful. Not saying you should definitly quit, but question your reality. Your motivation pivots around smoking the next joint? Do you feel guilty about it? Are you less sociable? Do you feel you are stuck in the same day over and over again? Do you procrastine things for tomorrow so you can just get high for today? Do you feel like weed is dragging you away from friends, family, partners..? I know it is hard to get to this decision. For real, everyone here knows it, including me, you just have to read the comments. But hey, you are not alone, and that's almost beautiful if you think about it. You may be feeling like this is the end of the world and that nobody will ever understand you. I feel like that sometimes. Hell, I was feeling like that 1h ago when I started writing this. But reading other people experiences helps a lot, really. It is like a small community of people trying to be better versions of theirselves, even if the path to achieve it is dark and full of doubts. If anybody ever wants to share their experience or just want to talk feel free to reach me, we are all in the same boat. Okay now for real, last tip. If you decide to quit do it sooner than later. I know, it sucks, but if you say "I will quit at the end of the year" or some shit like that you are going to procrastinate it. If you are gonna commit, then do it. Finish your last supply (or don't if you feel strong or commited enough), throw away ALL your paraphernalia and get a fresh start starting tomorrow. Once you start quitting, you will find yourself with a lot of time you didn't have before. Think about something you always wanted to do and just go for it, we only live once. I love music, but I have always been to lazy (too distracted being high) to put time and effort on it. I decided to start learning music and how to produce it. With the money I'm gonna save now I'm going to buy a badass bass and learn to play the grooviest songs from Daft Punk. Fuck it. I want to be what I want to be, not what my adicction to weed forces me to be. You will probably read some retards saying things like "weed is not addictive" or "lmao I can go days without smoking and be perfectly fine". Good for them. Weed becomes addictive for only a small % of users (around 10%). Don't let them fool you around. It is like saying alcoholism doesn't exist because I can drink sometimes and not get addicted to alcohol. Again, anything that triggers dopamine release can become an addiction. This can be weed, opioids, benzos, alcohol, porn, sugar... For fuck sake, even your lover becomes more or less an addiction and that's why we feel soooo shitty when we go through a breakup. It is exactly the same thing, different cause. You want one more example? There is even people who get addicted to going to the gym. Tell them to stop going for one month. They will be miserable. You can trust me about this 100%, I studied it for years. I love weed, but saying it is not a drug or idealizing it as harmless is straight stupid or ignorant. Sleepiness is finally kicking in so it is time for me to go. I know I'm going to have the weirdest dreams and probably tomorrow I'm going to feel miserably again. But that's it. It is part of the process and honestly, I can't wait to start seeing the results. I know this post is long as fuck but I hope it helps to whoever it needs it. Be strong, stay strong. As Brandon Sanderson wrote in one of his books: "The most important step a man can take. It is not the first one, is it? It is the next one. Always the next step" Love u all even if I don't know you lmao ❤

I started when I was 13 with older friends. It became a habit, by 20 I was an alcoholic, abused Xanax and cocaine. 2 years ago I was using acid and went on a scary trip and felt as if my heart was going to explode. I laid in the shower, water on, crying for what seemed like hours. The crying made the feeling I had in my heart go away. I didn’t know that for 10 years I was suffering and needed to release all of the emotions that I’ve had bottled up in me for so long. I didn’t know how bad my childhood was until I met my wife and saw the way her family is. I thought the way I grew up was normal but it was far from it. I’m now 25 with a loving wife and three children, small business and god by our side. I used to tell my sister that I accept that I’m an addict and will probably die that way one day. If only I knew what god had in store for me. For everyone out there that is still trying to quit and the fact that your here watching this video may mean your close to it ❤ god bless everyone

I’ve been tapering for a week, then smoked a tiny amount yesterday and for three hours was having the worst psychotic high, and thinking this is what being high REALLY is. I am going to go cold turkey for next 3 days and lean into the physical withdrawals with this new thought of this is the addiction leaving my body. Then I m going to do a 5:1 CBD that I have in the house so I don’t put my family through my anger, anxiety, depression, etc. the 5:1 is another tapering mechanism, as I think cold turkey for me is too scary.

Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

[@trevornoursedrums]

Currently 3.5 days into the quitting process. The last time I attempted to quit was a little over 2 years ago, I made it to about 3 months. The pink cloud phase kicked in, and I let my brain convince me I could enjoy cannabis responsibly and infrequently at that point. Within 2 weeks of relapse, I was right back where I started. It took me another 2 years to work up the courage to quit again, and this time I know I can never go back. It's so easy to feel like you're the only person in the world who feels the way you do, and this community you have developed is truly a life saver. Seeing lots of comments from people on the same "level" of quitting as me. To all those people, we've got this!!

I’m on day 6 and it feels like I’ve been going for 3 months 😭😭 This is so hard and I decided to do it in a time of very high stress because I just didn’t want to wait one more day… A few weeks before quitting I recorded a series of videos for myself while having a panic attack and I said “My only options are to end it all or change my life. Look at me. Whatever you do don’t go back.” and it’s been the only thing keeping me going. Yes what I’m going through right now sucks and I wish I could just eat an edible and feel relief, but I know that I’ll just have to go through everything all over again because I can’t build the life I want and also be addicted to weed.

[@oXahusTz]

I was a daily user for years definitely was smoking to numb my emotions and all the pain from my childhood and it recently got to a point where the weed didn’t make my anxiety go away it started to amplify it to the point I was having pretty frequent panic attacks. I also decided to quit during a high stress time my dad was recently killed and I’m expecting a son with my wife and everything was snowballing so I decided to quit cold turkey currently struggling on day two with bad anxiety

[@angelvalentynn]

Update a month later and I seriously can’t believe it’s only been one month… I’ve been doing great!! I took nibbles of edibles a few times when I thought I had nothing better to do and I enjoyed the first few times, but I still felt guilty. The last time I did it I got very paranoid and I finally understood that there’s no better feeling than being sober and in control of your emotions. I don’t know when that was but I haven’t had cravings ever since. I managed to pass my semester in college and now in vacation I feel so good being sober and excess stress-free that I was able to get off my bipolar meds and adderall and I can finally say I feel like myself again. The brain fog from withdrawal was INSANE and it lasted more than 2 weeks for sure, but I’m glad I can finally think again. It also really helped that my friend who I used to sesh with regularly also quit. Support is seriously underrated!!

[@angelvalentynn]

In my country weed is illegal but I still managed to smoke everyday since last 5 years. Since last 2 years its wake and bake. Weed has started to control my life. I don't travel anywhere thinking how I might get high there. Off late I realised it is getting in the way of me running full throttle. I have a decent job but I performed poorly at work , was okay to do nothing but smoke weed everytime I felt bored , infact it has just became a chore which I have to do everyday , Lost a girlfriend because she couldn't take my habit of wake and bake . I am literally on day 1 of quitting right now but I am all motivated . Deleted all the dealers numbers. Threw away sheets , crusher and bong to garbage this morning. Problem is I live alone and have a stressful job. Hardly any friends at work. I hope I make it this time.. I smoked last joint last night and today is the first day in almost 6 months without waking and Baking. Edit 09.01.22 : After keeping sober for 12 days , I faced a stressful situation at work and relapsed 😔 . I don't know what to do now Edit : 18.07.2022 - I finally gathered the courage and saw a psychiatrist yesterday. He diagnosed me with Bipolar disorder. He said weed is just a superficial action of the problem that I have within. I got married in May and thankfully my wife is there to support me this time. I am currently 4 days sober but I am on anti anxiety and anti depressant meds. I am getting upset stomach of these medicines but it's okay I am willing to face all these for few months . I want to get out of this rathole now. Bless me guys..

One of the biggest reasons I don't want it in my life anymore, is it made me recluse socially, and when i used weed, would make me not go out but stay in and be paranoid and lonely. I'm way more mentally active now, which made anxiety worse for a time, but lemon balm helps calm me.

Delta-9 THC causes tolerance, dependence, and withdrawals with chronic use, and is also highly rewarding(not like something like methamphetamine, but the level of dopamine release in the vta is similar to other natural drugs that can cause addiction(morphine, cocaine, nicotine, ethanol)). It isn't just you. Delta-9-THC literally has significant addiction potential(significant, meaning it is very prevelent/possible, and this is measurable, not that most people have this issue).

Ended up getting drunk last night at Christmas dinner which I've never really had a problem with but there was a heavy dose of temptation to smoke today to get rid of the hangover. For anyone considering getting a buzz on, let me be your guinea pig and tell you I can't recommend drinking for anyone thinking it's a good alternative if you're in recovery from weed or nic. Leads to heaps of temptations and lack of inhibitions that just make it a shitty, potentially self-sabotaging decision. Merry Christmas to all!

First I get cold/hot, sweating like crazy, insomnia, upset stomach, shakiness, anxiety. I feel like I start getting better after 5 days but still at 10 days I noticed there were still symptoms. Probably takes the full 4 weeks to recover, just haven't made it there yet. Oh man this sucks so bad right now! Can't keep doing this to myself as I have to go through these withdrawal symptoms every time I run out of weed or want to quit. Not sure if it's from the weed being so potent and my tolerance is through the roof. I noticed I was smoking just to feel normal and sometimes I barely felt a buzz, even though the weed is strong. Really not in a good head space right now. I want to quit, but love it at the same time! Double edged sword for me.

But I promise only a little longer it’ll get better, I’m on about 4 months now and I still get cravings to smoke but for the most part there not as intense as what they used to be.

[@austinsmeeks9322]

I've been smoking with no breaks at all for 11 years. The past 5 years it's been an eighth of wax every two weeks. I'm on day 4 of no weed. My anxiety is through the roof. Hands get numb. I'm extremely irritable and want nothing more than to relax with a hit of wax. I'm powering through but I know this will be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I just hope I can keep the willpower and positive mindset to make it to the end. Thanks for your tips and for laying out what I should expect in the coming months. Knowing others have been through this and have been successful helps me reason my way through this.

did you have a loss of appetite for like a week straight? its like i wanted to throw up all food but I can drink water, today I started eating a little more but only soft foods like fruit and yogurts.

[@4xe4lotlol]

Watching these videos have been one of my only sources of support throughout this. I’m on day 6 after almost 6 years of smoking almost every day. I’ve been having massive panic attacks where my heart rate will be above normal for like an hour or two. It’s been very scary. It’s been more manageable, each panic attack shorter than the last. It’s been tough trying not to touch bud especially when my partner and friends constantly smoke. Anyways, make sure y’all stay hydrated!! Dehydration can trigger heart palpitations when you’re going through withdrawal. Learned that the hard way.

[@nokomentsEVH]

I'm on day 6 as well today, if your partner and friends are still smoking, you can ask them to do it when you're not around, it really helps to isolate yourself from the drug. It's my second attempt this year and last time I managed to stay sober for 23 days, but relapsed after accidentally bumping into my friends who were smoking mad amounts of dank at that moment. Stay strong, you can do it.

Great video. Something that really helps me is keeping in mind that the anxiety of quitting is way easier to tolerate than the anxiety of using when you know it isn’t serving you anymore. Cannabis withdrawal can be absolutely brutal and on par with a milder more protracted opiate withdrawal IMO, but it feels so good on the other side.

[@christianlind9570]

Very encouraging

[@ElyzabethSkapik]

This video changed my life!! I’ve been trying to quit smoking weed pretty much since I started over 10 years ago. I always knew that it wasn’t the best for me, but I couldn’t stop relying on it for my anxiety. I started therapy last march and during my first session I told her I was there because for some reason I couldn’t stop smoking. I’ve been digging and trudging through my shadows, healing from my past and I got to a point where my anxiety was better but I still couldn’t stop smoking because I couldn’t get past the withdrawal symptoms. I’m now on day 5 without smoking whereas before I could never make it past day 2. I feel more at ease with the symptoms knowing that it’s only temporary, whereas addiction has the potential to last forever. My cravings are easier to settle because of the anchors you’ve offered and I feel like I finally have my life back and I can focus on what’s actually important again. Thank you infinitely 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is my fifth time quitting. I'm at the end of week one. Anxiety, insomnia and sweat.It's something that I have experienced before. Also I am very irritable. It's hard for my family to be around me. Most of my family would wish that I would start back up again. Each time I relapsed, I thought that I could smoke in moderation. I am going to use the hack. Where I think of the last time I smoked instead of the first time I smoked. Each time I relapsed was because the first joint I smoke. Was good but not good enough. Believe people when they say you cannot smoke in moderation. I've never made it past four months. If anybody reading this wants, solid advice is that you cannot smoke in moderation. If you do, it won't be what you expect.

When I met my boyfriend 3 1/2 years ago he was on his 6th year of chronic smoking. As two young naive teens I decided the best way to relate to him was to also smoke. I have smoked for 3 1/2 years ever since I’ve known him, and we are now on day 3 of being sober. We found your videos after stopping, and giggled at how much we relate to you and this video. We want a better life, and we want to be healthy again in every way. I hope everyone who’s needing a sign to stop that this be it. Nothing is more important than your life being healthy, and important to you. Marijuana is not your friend in the long run, it’s just your friend for a few hours.

I'm nearly 44 hours in now. I'm focused on my health, and saving over $5,000 a year by not spending it on smoke. My insomnia has always been terrible so that's nothing new. My anxiety levels are off the charts though. This is the hardest part for me. My irritability when I'm sober is much worse, so sometimes I genuinely wonder if this is really the best thing for me personally. I know it's the best thing for my lungs, I'm not sure it's the best thing for my mind though. We'll see.

[@dneil8867]

I smoked for 30 years daily, from joints to blunts. I got a city job two years ago and they do real random tests. I refused a test because I knew I would’ve burned a hole in the cup. Luckily my union allows you ONE fuck up. I quit cold turkey and it was NOT a problem at all. Weed is not a physical addiction it’s psychological so just be strong. I started working out and meditating and after about two weeks I was good. Be strong and disciplined, your body will thank you.

[@jaydot4956]

Bro being anxious, insomnia and breaking out in sweats is not psychological. People become physically dependent on weed otherwise they would be able to quit with no problem .

@@jaydot4956 well I didn’t have anxiety or break out in sweat so how do you explain that? Maybe your weed person was lacing it with some other substance because it’s not a physical thing.

Watching your videos gives me so much confidence. I’m currently on day 9 of no weed after 12-13 years of regular smoking. I’ve tried to quit before and never got past 3-4 weeks and I now realise it was the pink cloud stage. I felt amazing and untouchable but then something bad would happen and I’d immediately go back to smoking. I’m approaching this time from a more mature and educated point of view. I’ve accepted that the next year or two of my life may be very up and down while still staying determined to push through it and keep focused on both small short term goals and more significant long term goals. Just one question, when can I expect to start putting some healthy weight back on? That’s the main reason I’m quitting, my body is so drained and weak and I really need to add some healthy weight back to my frame. Thanks again dude you’re saving lives on this channel, literally!!!❤

[@ricktherrien8235]

I’ve been smoking pot since I was 18 and I am 39 now and I just quit cold turkey and had absolutely no withdrawal at all. Pot stays in the fat of your body for up to 30 days so you don’t withdrawal off of it because you have it in your system for long periods of time after you quit. So whatever your smoking has something in it that is not normal or it’s bad weed. People don’t withdrawal off of weed that’s a fallacy!!

[@cravinbob]

Rehabilitation is big business and customers fail several times before success which is good for that business. Overdose deaths from heroin have something that is never reported but is common to all those deaths and that is alcohol. Alcohol is usually what interacted with the drug and caused the heart and lungs to stop functioning.This happens when using narcotics and mixing it with drinking alcohol, but marijuana is not a narcotic. Marijuana makes the user feel good and that is why people use it, we all want to feel good. Marijuana was not illegal 100 years ago but today marijuana is crossbred for a more potent strain and not like what was available in the past. Today's strains can and does cause anxiety in many people.Stopping the habit will have the side effect of craving it which is caused by ceasing to feel good. As i said in another comment coffee drinking will have the same effect when you stop using it and coffee is everywhere and it is a drug. This video will cause to think about marijuana in your waking hours when you should stop thinking about it and stay busy doing other things.
