[@kriyaad]

After 16 years blazing everyday it's finally time for me to stop. This got me through the last 3 days. Thank you so much

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

You might feel hopeless and frustrated after a relapse. You might feel like you let your loved ones down. You might struggle to get back on track, because you feel that relapsing means that recovery and sobriety are not meant for you. But if you relapse, go easy on yourself. Shame and self-blame won't be helpful after a relapse. Just remember that addiction is a disease and you are still vulnerable to relapsing. Stay strong everyone!👋❤💪

[@WheelieOutlaw]

Thank you for this. I am struggling so hard to quit smoking, it feels as if I can’t do anything without it and my mood changes drastically when I’m not high. I have relapsed countless times and it truly feels awful but I’m not going to just give up.

[@Max_aura7]

@@WheelieOutlaw you can do it just keep getting back up brother

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

@@WheelieOutlaw You aren't a failure just because you relapsed Reed! Relapsing is part of the sobriety process. All the ups and downs are part of the journey. As long as relapsing doesn't become a habit, and you learn something along the way it will be fine. Don't loose hope and keep going!👋❤

Day 9 for me. My spirit is depleted but I'm pushing through.

[@the_mattescat8497]

I hardest part for me when I relapse on weed is 1. Having to do that day 1-3 over again.. it’s really really hard . And 2. After I make it about to day 10 is when I tend to relapse am taking that little break brings my tolerance down enough that when I do smoke again for the first time it’s an amazing feeling like I’m smoking for the first time.. it quickly fades an doesn’t last an I’m off to the races again.. I just can’t get over the boredom.. even when I do get up an do something productive, I’m not enjoying it… I’m not enjoying anything really

[@predslayz1211]

I’m the same way but that not enjoying anything part means it’s working. Your brain needs atleast 2-3 months for you to have ur actual feelings back. I started to feel good again after two weeks. For some people it’s just different.

[@photomotor]

I have the same feeling. I am at two weeks now and I am nervouse about the unknown. The thing that keeps me going right now is just wanting more out of life. I have been through the same things so many times I know what will happen

[@ghostlyfe1923]

Watch motivational videos you have to stay productive I know shit sucks with thought the high but that’s your mind telling you that because it wants what it is use to back and you can’t blame your brain for this especially if it’s been years of the habit

[@Weld702]

@@predslayz1211damn I picked a perfect time to quit. I’m having my first kid in 5 months. So excited to be a dad, but honestly pretty stressed about getting sober, I literally quit 2 hours ago after my disposable died out.

[@djmckaytv]

When I want to smoke I go run instead. Thank you!

[@flouserschird]

I had quit for almost a year but the desire for it never left. I found myself just more bored, and not being able to sleep. I have a healthy lifestyle and I’m a business owner that’s making 6 figures. I just like weed so much. It’s easy to stop doing it, but it always seem to linger when it’s 3am and I can’t sleep. I’ve struggled with insomnia, my whole life. Weed was the only thing that helped me but I was addicted to it. I smoke sometimes now, but I’m not a daily user anymore. I wish I could quit completely, but I just like it too much and my life isn’t really suffering any consequences from it. I feel like I’m in such an unusual predicament most people don’t get it. I hate substances I don’t wanna be dependent on anything. Thank for your encouragement, Dr. Frank. I just need to find something in my life that fulfills me more than the weed does. I don’t understand why it’s so appealing to me.

[@WheelieOutlaw]

I don’t 100% understand what your going through but at a point I definitely feel what your going through. Its not easy for me to quit at all due to the fact I like it just so much like you do. I always find myself bored as well or not able to sleep, etc. I hate the feeling of being dependent on something but just like you do I like it so so much. Just wanted to make this comment to relate that I don’t know what to do either. It’s a very weird predicament.

[@groundjitsu]

I completely understand what both of you are saying. I stopped for 18 months once, I thought my life would be so much cooler without weed but I just ended up feeling the same but without weed. I loved the plant, I loved the different strains and their smells. I could stop smoking but couldn't stop liking the plant. I smoked again and went in as if I never stopped. Weird.

[@WheelieOutlaw]

@@groundjitsu very very relatable

[@groundjitsu]

@@WheelieOutlaw but, that being said, today is my first day not smoking.. Again. I need to get clear and sober again, I'm feeling the negatives. Weed was the main character in my every day life, but I just can't let that happen. I want to be proud of me again, I want to look back and say, "yo, i come this far without touching it." as of right now I'm not proud

[@basspro11231]

Man I hope dr frank can chime in on this

[@jimpowers9553]

When I listen to you Frank, I see myself. I am literally a carbon copy of you. I’m a 68 yo retired medical technologist and architectural designer. I went on and off those same substances exactly like you for decades. That voice you talk about finally started to say what I needed to do. Came to my senses. God led me to this channel. It’s never easy quitting this stuff, but now I am determined. As the great philosopher William James said “ The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” It’s never too late.

[@blastattack4628]

I'm on my 7 month free of weed right now, craving returned to me, but I understand that mechanish fully. Also free from porn and alcohol. I lost 3 months on SSRI of my weed recovering process, but it was a good lession for me also. Thank you so much Frank for your videos, I'm backing to them in hard time to remember things.

This is by far one of your best videos Dr. Frank. For people who have quit and then relapse. I have been smoking THC for 3 years off and on. And unfortunately I relapsed last summer and just recently I have quit all THC products for the 2nd time. I am 17 days THC free. All I gotta say is thank you Dr. Frank for all the knowledge. It’s true, you can make more videos, take all the medications, but it is truly up to one’s self to stop there addiction and work on having a better and happier life without all the toxins. Thank you Dr. Frank.

[@hh-sama5132]

I keep relapsing. Have been in a stressful position at work, financials etc. this week I finally have it all sorted and I feel like because of that, I’ve mitigated potential triggers that could influence me to relapse. Since I’ve failed countless times, I think this video strongly emphasised the idea of understanding what you’re going through. I plan on writing it all out, from my reason why I’m quitting, and even the reasons that have caused me to relapse in the past. Has anyone else done this and worked? I’m just trying to set myself up with a mentality and space where I keep this conviction going.

[@chadchadingston374]

I smoked as an excuse to get out of working hard. I’d say well if I’m high there is no way I can handle working. ‘Work’ as we know it in most cases sucks. You don’t need to smoke to avoid it, just avoid it sober. Work smarter not harder, fuck being a slave to work or a drug.

My energy levels have been horrible the next 2 days I came home from work and fell asleep. I did have better energy today. I don't have any energy for the gym. I did go 2 days early in the week but they were low energy workouts, but I'm happy I went. I'm happy I didn't Relapse but it's so hard.

It’s harder for skinny people to quit weed because when you do you can’t eat and when u can’t eat you lose even more weight and it just takes all your confidence away.

I've been trying for six months to quit smoking cigarettes. Last week, I did the one thing, by accident, that had convinced me to quit for good. I dropped my cigarette on the floor. Not wanting to waste a cigarette, and also not wanting to put a germy cigarette in my mouth, I cut a two inch by two inch piece from a paper towel and used that to protect my mouth as I took hits. I took a different hit on each part of the paper towel. When I was done, I was absolutely shocked at the deep brown spots that were all over. The cigarette filter, while obviously not white afterward, looked much more yellow than any form of brown. I suggest if you smoke cigarettes that you try this if you really want to see the truth of what you are inhaling.

It’s humiliating for me to admit this, but using w33d for years to help with nausea caused by a chronic illness led to me being dependent on it.

That doesn’t happen, either. Why am I admitting to this on here? I don’t know.
