Im really trying to come to terms with the discomfort its going to take to quit. The anger, mood swings and no sleep scares me but the prospect of it possibly affecting my future health/career scares me even more. Wish you the best of luck bro ❤

I took 10 vacation days at work to get off booze so I wouldn't have the stress of laying awake in bed every night and trying to work on no sleep. It was worth it. I would probably have to do the same thing for weed.

I have been in a T break after smoking almost everyday off and on since 14 I’m 21 now. I haven’t had sweats or anything but my appetite is completely gone it’s weird it’s like I’m hungry but the thought of putting everything in me makes me wanna pull my skin off, the feeling of being full is just to uncomfortable sober now. I lost weight from this already. My body in itself feels just uncomfortable, I just feel sick but not in any serious way I would say more fatigued. So I feel you when you said it’s like your body is screaming at you to smoke something. Then there’s the boredom, it’s the worst at of all of it. Simply not knowing what to do with yourself anymore. I was bored, I smoked. When I was hungry, I smoked then ate. When I was sad, I smoked. It’s my go to every emotion and every action I do. It’s like your body can’t truly relax. I want to quit one day but I have the hardest time relaxing sober. I suffer from anxiety and OCD and though it’s not the healthiest way but I do use weed to dissociate from those intrusive thoughts. And I just don’t know how to do that sober, I struggled sober before pot, trying to self calm for years and even begging my parents for a therapist. Instead they paid for my weed every week and decided to use the extra money for a fireplace. I thrived of the ego and confidence it gave me, I was able to live and feel something besides hurt.

About 2-3 months from getting my dream job since I was a kid before I started smoking weed. Trying to quit to pass a drug test starting in 2025, just got locked out of my house and gave in. I really need to get this out of my system and actually pass a drug test by not doing drugs cause one failed test could cost me the rest of my career. But this struggle is so hard and I’m almost rationalizing not continuing the same career because I can’t do this drug. Thanks for this video I can relate 100% to everything and I’m happy knowing it’s not just me, such an annoying addiction to have, wish I would’ve known what this would be like and limited myself before I got so hard

Bro thank you for sharing this. Been addicted to psychs & weed for 7 years and have made it 1 week. I found that it suppresses intense love and intense anger which I have to regulate along with crazy mood swings and anxiety. Nothing we cannot push thru brother much love

I wish best for your recovery, keep going. Some quotes for you which I saved going through my own path to recovery when it comes to pmo: ‘’Success can only occur when your dreams get bigger than your excuses. The hardest walk that you can make is the walk that you make alone, but that is the walk that make you the strongest’’ ‘’It’s always the right time to do the right thing. And this is the most important moment to not fuck up, it’s every moment’’ ‘’Urges come from your values which comes from your priortities. And if you change your priorities you not going to desire your pmo, even if you still have sexual energy’’ ‘’Knowing your path is wisdom, walking it is integrity. Courage means to follow your heart’’ ‘’Happy people build their inner world, unhappy people blame their outer world’’

I thought I smoked a lot of Marijuana in the '70s the I was about your age. But it was really rare when I could smoke every day. Typically it was around three or four times a week, usually for specific (minor) events, sometimes on a break. They said smoking grass made you paranoid but I still think it was mostly because it was highly illegal. I still credit Marijuana for relieving my chronic anxiety. I found myself crazy high at Burger King and even a choir contest and though I was pretty clear that I was behaving relatively normally, I noticed that nobody seemed to care or even notice at all, even those who knew I was high. I quit in the early '90s mostly because it just wasn't available to me anymore. I don't recall any "withdrawal" symptoms (just wishing I had some more, mostly), but you're right, if you've ever cleaned out a pipe or bong you have to wonder what that might be doing to your lungs.

It’s tough because I’ve had access to essentially unlimited weed since I was 14. My dad grew and didn’t care about me taking some; and I live in Oregon so once I turned 21 the weed became even more plentiful. I feel that I am experiencing such extreme withdrawal symptoms simply due to the quantity I smoke. Probably about an 1/8th a day if not more, with probably less an hour a day not high for the last 10 years. My mind and body have simply developed a dependence.
