You should consider doing a video about social media addiction. I might be getting distracted from watching and laughing at your videos rather than substances. I actually realized that scrolling social media can be even more addictive than smoking weed

[@stephenr85]

Weed makes being bored so much more enjoyable. I can sit and stare at a wall for hours, which can actually be useful as a programmer. But if we're honest, it also makes me dumber, so there's a tradeoff. I think we get that dopamine drive satiated, then we lack drive for other things. I stop doing dishes, brushing my teeth, even closing cabinet doors (like...a lot). The *habit* is just a black hole.

[@D12796-i]

So true. For me it was cleaning up after myself after cooking something (when I had enough motivation to actually cook) or just plugging my phone before going to bed. Then Id wake up, my kitchen was a mess and my phone was at 2%.

[@stephenr85]

@@D12796-i can definitely relate to the phone thing too lol

Things happen keep doing right thing, follow the right path for yourself. Just jeep calm everything gona be alright .

To get out of it from loop catching a moment and realising real truth with the pain you have becoms real you body response react and take that energy out of you and heal process activates against disease.

​@@stephenr85I break the cleaning up into small pieces. Like I do the same trust. Coook a mad meal then wake up kitchen is a mess for 6 days or longer. If you can break it up. What helped me is just be like " alright, imma go close all the cupboards" or " imma go put all the glasses in one spot " Then it's quite easy. Don't look at the whole room. Look at portions of it

I’m 39 days deep in sobriety from weed and 54 days from alcohol at first it’s tough but hang in there God and gym is a big help 🙏🏼

[@LexJoeHome]

This is such a good message. A few weeks ago I started hiking and hitting the gym more. I would smoke before I went. However, the past few days I've been hiking and lifting weights sober and not missing the weed at all. It's actually a relief to be able to think clearly. My appetite hasn't really come back which is tough to deal with. Forcing oneself to eat is a very unpleasant experience. I was even able to take a day off while I still had a stash of weed. Which is something I've never done before in my life. It seems small, but it's a big win for me. I was just living life, having a full, fun day and next thing I knew I was getting ready for bed and it occurred to me "I haven't thought about weed all day" I can't say I've defeated my addiction just yet, but I'm feeling confident and hopeful that I will establish a healthy and sustainable relationship with weed. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you Dr. Frank. I want to do what you do. Especially working with high schools. I worked in a high school last year and the THC pens in the bathroom were out of control. It broke my heart.

[@stephenr85]

@@LexJoeHome it's interesting how the cycle begins with how much of a relief it is to not think "clearly" (like a pressure valve being released), and regaining that clarity becomes a primary driver to end the cycle.

[@LexJoeHome]

@@stephenr85 You just blew my mind. That is fascinating. I don't know how to use that information, but it is really interesting.

My experience with quitting has brought me to this. You eventually have to blend your NOW life with your future self because.... if you put your life on hold before you begin good habits, you won't learn how to trouble shoot getting Angry for instance..... this is my trigger to smoke weed. I don't want to feel all the emotions, but for me that's the WHOLE problem. I've developed a very bad habit of using weed not to feel. I have a lot of emotional pain that I HAVE TO learn to manage in a healthy way. It's like giving a kid candy for dinner!!!!! It's a very immature way of handling negative emotions. So while this may seem harsh, it's true .... we are not addicted to the substance.... we are addicted to being babies!! The Bible says only dogs return to their own 🤢 vomit 😮

I’m guilty of this mindset. Thank you

[@shivanishamar]

another great vid & insight! spot on about those around us or society saying the “you cant until you quit” too much pressure!

[@DavidCarr-c8f]

I’ve been a smoker for 10 years and just stopped 5 days ago and I haven’t yet had any lucid dreams but I feel great! And all my mental clarity is back I just want to get the dreams now any advice

[@meganwhite7270]

I haven't had any wine in 2 weeks but im really struggling with quitting weed. I thought quiting alcohol would be the hard part. But this weed addiction is something else. I smoke when i wake up and then through out the day into the evening. But it's so annoying to constantly go outside and try to hide it from my kid. Im really frustrated with myself. But i guess at least i want to quit. Any words of advice to kick my butt into gear would be greatly appreciated.

[@LilMalice]

When it comes to exercising and working out, I'm the opposite. I used to go to the gym 4-6 times a week when I was smoking weed, as it felt good working out while high. I'm 4 months clean now and have lost motivation to go to the gym, it feels like a "chore" now that Im not high. I only go to the gym 1-2 times a week now that I'm sober 😔

[@daggermouth4695]

It's just dopamine it will recover. Try something else you "like" but don't have a problem with before gym. Like fuck, or eat a pizza , or get some mc nuggets. That will give you the dopamine to just go do gym. But be careful not to replace one habit with another

[@PlanetMacsRadio]

What are your reasons for going to the gym now vs before outside of weed? Was it physical appearance? Just curious

[@rainypath96]

have you ever talked about s*x addiction?

[@divagirl10]

I just got an opportunity to sing in a band. My dream or at least audition. And yet I turned it down due to my path to sobriety. My side effects are too intense they would get in the way of this. It's not am excuse it's cld reality

[@stephenr85]

Maybe, but I'll be blunt and say this is likely more anti-social withdrawal behavior, and you'll benefit by just taking small steps towards a goal, and those accomplishments and the promise/momentum will replace the preoccupation with a substance (or quitting).

[@TheNomaddux]

A lot of that is an excuse you tell yourself and part of it is self preservation im a Dj and love raves and the club but it's not a good community or environment to foster sobriety lean in HEAVILY to your passions and you'll know if its important enough to you to reject the temptations and trust me you'll feel more empowered and energized once you realize that it wasn't the addictions that made your life enjoyable :) one minute at a time one hour at a time one day at a time you got this
