Day 2 of quitting THC. I’ve had stomach issues throwing up and pure nausea. I’ve been extremely stressed, emotionally unstable, and angry. Everything seemed so hard until I watched your videos today. I’m not in this alone. I never thought THC would bring me here. But I’ve allowed it to consume me for years. It’s controlled me and made me lazy and made me not who I was before. My relationship is failing, my home life feels horrible. But I know that I can do this and it’s just going to be very hard at first. I’ve talked to a therapist for the first time and I’m gonna see my PCP to see what he can do for me. I need sleep. My mind just plays random shit over and over and over. As long as we stay positive, then I know this difficult process is going to be worth it.

Like a Dave Chappelle crackhead skit... Shaky, insomnia, two second fuse on anything that irritated me. I believe the weed was the worse. I loved it...I mean really loved it...but 2 weeks into sustaining and I'm starting to see more clearly on a daily basis. I e tried so many times but honestly this is the first time I truly WANTED IT. Thanks for all you do and the information. Describing withdrawal as the receptors dying really helped to look at it in that perspective.

Your videos helped me, I cannot thank you enough. I’m 25 days clean from nicotine and 2 months free from weed. It’s hard to take advice from a doctor that hasn’t expressed their own challenges faced from a quitting journey. You are on the dot every video. I struggled from vaping at 15 to chronic vaping until 18, that turned to smoking then mixing weed and tobacco every night before bed until 22. It was very difficult to break but I’m well passed my withdrawal symptoms, smell of smoking is off putting. This was the right choice for me and I’m glad your videos were here to make that clear. Thanks again

[@ciflau]

I usually had a joint on the evening, going for a walk and now thats the period when i struggle with boredom and anger. Between 18:00 and 00:00. Also during the day i have moments of anger and irritability. I’m two weeks in, sometimes it feels like I’m alright and sometimes it feels like not; thoughts sneak up on me trying to convince me it’s fine to smoke from time to time. I train every day when i wake up, either boxing and gym or running, followed by a cold shower. They do help a lot but still got moments of weakness. I can do this !!

[@dargydargg]

Hey Doc, just want to say thanks from Australia. I'm 24 years old and have been smoking since I was about 16. In the last few years weed became a daily thing, and has been my way of dealing with anxiety in every day life. I've managed to get to about 12 days sober, but then that little voice manages to sway me in buying more "just one more time"... and It never is ! Im going to give it another go and hopefully can go even longer than just a couple of weeks. Your videos have helped tremendously knowing how similar our experience has been and your advice is super helpful. If you have any tips on how to battle that little voice specifically please let us know, because it keeps 'winning' and over time my will power diminishes more and more.

[@mandhlanyagura2871]

Keep fighting, brother. We're all rooting for you. You can do this!

[@icyrecipe]

Same experience here 16-22 I’ve been free from weed almost 2 months and nicotine 25 days! It’s something a lot of people our age are going through. Be proud that you’re one of the few breaking the habit. Every time the day gets tough and you think about relieving that feeling by smoking again. Remind yourself this feeling will pass and that you should feel successful putting up the challenge. Focus on the benefits you’re going to feel as they severely outweigh the negatives of continuing to smoke. Believe me they are there. There’s no getting around this mountain you’ve got to climb but days turn into weeks and the time passes. Try chamomile tea and honey for bed, watch these videos. Have a sleep routine (shower/bath, tea, lay down, don’t use your phone from the time you’re out of the shower - blue light will keep you up). You’ve got to look forward to two weeks / three weeks from now. Sleep will be amazing, happy dreams come back :) and an array of energy along with other things will make you feel it’s worth it! Good luck!

I did the double all at once, cold turkey, weed and nicotine (18 years of daily usage). And boy what a rollercoaster it was full of anger, anxiety, and emotional moments. Once you crossed that point, it all gets better. Once you're ready start working out to create a better feeling. Im going strong 120 days now. Best personal tip from me: tell the people close to you that you're quitting, you will get so much love and support, they want the best for you too.

[@makafuniruni]

Tip number 6 would have pissed me off a week ago. The first three weeks I practically didn´t sleep at all, (week 2 to 3 being the worst). I maybe got 4 hours of in consecutive sleep pr night and when I was actually sleeping I suffered from insane Nightmares. (I could not nap either. Every time close to falling a sleep i would wake up with the feeling of falling, driving me crazy) I was developing a serious case of anxiety and literally thought I was going insane -so much so, that a couple of more days would have thrown me over the edge for sure. My mind and every cell in my body was begging for a break! The first night I actually got a decent amount of sleep and rest I was so thankful I cried. The lack of sleep is real and shouldn´t be taken lightly.

If he can’t recognise the damage his addiction is causing you and your children, you have every right to make him aware and leave him. I know this is easier said than done, but vaping THC is taking his addiction one step further and quitting will probably make him a lot worse for a while. I’m praying for you and your babies. Don’t let his destructive ways hold you back when there’s someone out there who would do anything not to jeopardise your happiness for self fulfilment. He needs help but that isn’t your job at all :( 2 years of that shit is long enough, the fact you’re searching for answers for him rather than him doing it tells all it needs to. I’m so so sorry.

68 years old Day 6. Was vaping cartridges and eating gummies thinking smoking it was bad for the lungs. Cartridges are worse. All of the symptoms mentioned I have been going through, its been a challenge but I can do it. I went to my Dr on day 3 when I coughed up really tiny round yellowish looking pebbles, taking it with me to my physician. He said it is my lungs cleaning out the ingredients of the cartridges, and it will decrease as I go through the detox process. It did and when I cough I don't see them anymore. (that was SCARY!) The only thing is the insomnia and sweats, my sweat smelt like blueberry gummy bears I used to ingest and finally the smell is decreasing. Good Lord! Increased my water intake and walking 2 miles a day. Still don't feel like eating much but make green smoothies in my vitamix which I drink that is loaded with fruits and vegetables and it really helps. I made it this far, and knowing what this is like, I don't ever want to go through this again. What an eyeopener this has been! Thank you for your video, you and my physician put my mind at ease.

I have smoked weed since I was 9 years old. I am 57 now. Day 4 and super irritated. I have started hot showers in the morning to relax followed by a brisk walk. I know it seems reversed but it’s working for me. Afterwords I have to leave and not be around anyone as I do not want to harm anyone in anyway, mostly lashing out for no reason. I ride my bike, go hiking or go fishing. All the while talking to that voice in my head and telling it to f off. I have quit alcohol for 22 years now and have to say that it was also a bitch for several years and it took over 10 years for the drinking dreams to ease up. I sort of know what to expect and know that it is all dependent on how much I want it. I WANT IT BAD! So I have hope that I can make it. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these videos bro.

This video was released at the perfect time. Thanks like always. When I feel angry I try to listen to music that helps me work through the angst. The words don’t even matter a lot of the time, more like the beat or general energy of the music matching the complete mess I feel I am inside when I’m about to lose my temper is what matters. Eminem’s “‘Till I Collapse” is one of my go-tos because trying to remember and recite the lyrics while breathing typically takes the edge off. Cheesy maybe but it works for me.

I’m 11 days into quitting. I destroyed my PlayStation controller yesterday which is what led me here today. I can only speak for myself but video games may not be for everyone when dealing with irritability from quitting.

[@johnfitch8323]

Funny thing in all this situation is my neighbours know exactly when I quit as they can hear multiple times a day through the walls a loud "FUCK!!!!!!"

[@916nene]

I can’t avoid my mom I live with her but she makes me so mad and then she cries I told her the withdrawal I told her and she doesn’t get it she still tries to poss me off

[@smotpoker7110]

Day 2ish. Raging hard. Day 3. No rage but def stomach pains. Feel like vomitting after eating and shitting straight liquid. Day 4. Anxiety since day 1 is still there but no rage and tummy calmed down. I feel like my emotions and mind are starting to balance out. Anybody reading this i recommend drinking chamomile and/or linden tea. Works great. Gave up daily porn, caffeine, weed. Cigs are next 🤞

[@3four4door59]

I don't swear often but when I take a break from weed my language changes so noticeably people around me wonder what's going on.

[@Tambrose0405]

Day 4 going on 5 and I can't even begin to explain the rage I feel inside for no reason. I could scream and beat a punching bag to death and here I am at 2am unable sleep and binge watching KZbin videos. I feel like I'm going insane. I'm not craving or anything like that. I'm just mad as hell.

[@Crazycomputers4444]

I’m quitting rn, how am I supposed to avoid complex tasks when u have therapy twice a week and If I don’t do things complex I get bored and then depressed and want to smoke, but if I do complex tasks I get angry and want to smoke

[@CodCats]

i'm on level 7 (lol), the first week was hell just like the flu, throwing up and sweating and no food. now almost all that's gone but i'm on another level of irritability and anger, i'm SNAPPING at everyone and everything... it almost feels good cause i feel like i'm not taking no bs from anything anymore haha!! i'm thinking of quitting my bs job and trying to think rationally but it's showing me feelings i've repressed, i'm glad to be angry cause it's making me change my life for the better... let's see how this goes!!

I feel so pissed off even at my mom

[@UntitledKirk]

Been only using weed for about a year and a half and the number 1 thing weed had me feel was self-pity and self-hatred. Every single time I used I'd have thoughts of how worthless I was, how weak I was, etc etc. and all those thoughts would leave me wanting more weed, because I didn't have the coping skills to do anything else. Same with porn; it's all a vicious cycle. This video was very helpful, thank you!

[@djclockwork9947]

These are some pretty helpful tips my man and some of them ive used myself in the past. I’ve not completely stopped smoking (probably won’t) because I’ve noticed I’m just a generally more happy and nicer person if I smoke even once before bed at night. But I remember those first waves of anger trying to stop, literally lost a couple jobs because I was trying to quit while I was working, that mixed with work stress and my anger issues caused me to snap on my bosses uncontrollably it’s like the words would just exit my mouth before I could control them. Quitting is def great for you, but some of you may just be struggling to find a balance.

[@Cowface]

I haven’t even fully quit yet and I’m in a nonstop state of anger. Went from dabbing every 1-2 hours to 20 mg of edibles daily. Work is totally pissing me off, I’m terrified to see how parenting is gonna go, and I’m just generally mad at everything. Prior quit attempts I don’t remember rage being so dominant. It’s almost six pm and I think I’ve spent about two hours so far not angry. I’m on day two. Yesterday was so easy!

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

It passes. Your brain is pissed off because it isn’t getting it’s hit. Takes a few weeks, but it passes. Advice is to take it out at the gym. Exhaust yourself with stuff like that for a bit.

[@bryangm72]

I feel this applies to marihuana addiction also. I was dependent and addicted to it for 12 years, my mistake was smoking the most powerful stuff every time. Tried to quit atleast once every year, the most i could go on was a couple months, experienced psychosis to extreme levels, delusional thoughts, even after week 5 i would still feel sick, thought i was already crazy, even at times thought i was schizophrenic. I was scared, depressed, wanted to end it all. Even afraid of my self thinking i could go crazy and hurt someone, (delusional thoughts and psychosis can do that to you) but it was a symptom and i thought at the time it was me with a damaged brain and damaged thinking pattern that thought i wasn't going to be able to heal. My heart would race so bad i was taken to the hospital 7 or 8 times in 2 months, at times with blood pressure so high i was told i could get a heart attack, slept 3 hours per night at most, crazy scary nightmares, sleep deprevation was driving me insane, crazy mood swings, prescribed xanax and high blood pressure medicine to ease symptoms, which end it up making them worse. My psychiatrist told me to quit them, So i quit medication after 2 weeks which is enough for xanax to give you withdrawals (made me feel like week one). I would rarely get peace moments, ranging from only minutes to an hour at most, and then go back to anxiety and pain. But those moments where enough to see what i was missing on with my addiction. i would go back to smoking to try to ease my symptoms, starting with very little and progressively getting back to high doses. What was my mistake? Trying to do it alone, going on day 34 today, but this time I've been going to AA since the first week of quitting, excercising 5 days a week 30 minutes a day, all 7 days if possible. Quit gun games. Quit Facebook videos full of fights, accidents, death, dumb people doing stpd things. Quit porn as weed would lead me to it to calm euphoria and anxiety. Quit soda and sweets, as sugar rush would give me more anxiety. My body becomes sensitive to everything and anything. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety, ptsd, with panic attacks and major depression disorder. Tried to end all a few times in the past. Not a pill fan so no medication to help me this time. Just spitting all out at AA tribune, excercise, eating healthier, visiting family members, avoiding places, people and situations that could trigger my anger, pain, anxiety, and addiction, feeling in the gap with work when i can because currently unemployed, cleaning home, spending time with wife and kids, working on small projects like cleaning the cars and whatever i can do to distract my pain. Eating a healthy breakfast, Not eating after 9pm only maybe jelly or yogurt, and i sleep much better. also swimming decreases my inflammation. Drinking lots of water everyday, showing love to those around me, and trying not run too fast in my recovery. But most of all getting closer to God, much prayer asking for forgiveness, help, and a chance to recreate my life and recover all the time wasted. I been understanding myself better, learning I've been my worse enemy, so trying to forgive myself to let go of the past and let go of the person ive been, or else it's like heavy chains on my body and soul that keep trying to make me think i will always be that person, and if i dont let go of that i wont be able to become someone new and free. trying to transform my habits, my thinking, my actions. It definitely a battle, that's why i have needed all those things and much more to feel in the emptiness before depression, anxiety, remorse, and pain take over and i go back to addiction. Im still a recovering addict, im understanding i was looking for peace in the wrong place, peace in marihuana thinking it would relax me, but was just making my body, mind, and heart sicker. Now im looking for that peace in all the mentioned above, im starting to appreciate soberness, everything smells, looks, seems, much brighter, much more positive, i am now hopeful for the future, im putting my faith in God and trusting He is with me on this journey, to being clean, to actually living. I have alot to work on, mood swings and old thinking patterns, all together with the physical pain that comes with abstinence, but the peace moments last longer as i get closer to detoxing, this time has been different, because im looking for all the help i can get, and actually using it. when i wake up anxious, i pray to God for help and peace, and end up Falling asleep again without notice. When i wake up in the morning i thank God for letting me see the sunlight once again, I thank him for my family, our health, our food, our home, the sun, the air, you name it, alot to be thankful for! .. Loosing a parent, loosing a child, having a chronic decease, are some of the harshest and hardest things in life, and i add recovering from addiction to the list. I pray that everyone who wants to change their lives around will make it, that they will get the help they need and take action in the right direction, I pray they never give up, i pray for God to help them heal and see the future with hope, and that they can recover faith and love in themselves, and most of all that they reach peace in their hearts to never need to go back to any type of addiction. I pray for healing for the sick, help for the poor, and i wish you all new beginnings in your bodies, minds, hearts, and souls! You can do it! Even when you feel alone, you are not, there are many of us who get you! Who understand what you are going through. We're all on this together, from different parts of the world! From different paths and upcomings! We are a sister/brotherhood. I am writing this from a peaceful moment laying on my bed, thankful for another day. Take it day by day, dont try to run. Its a journey to a new life, takes time and be patient with yourselfs, show love to those around you, forgive and forget, let go of the past, look for new begginings. Not just in the outter, but also within you! Love you all and pray we all find meaning in our existence, and true happiness and peace in our hearts. 💙 I will end this message for you like i end my tribune at AA, I thank God for this past 24 hours sober and thank YOU for your tolerance! 🙏

How are you doing now? Do you feel better or bad still?

[@davidudechi9221]

This is me!!! Damn! I had a weed attack that caused me trauma and anxiety! I felt depressed I stopped blowing trees. At first I lost focus and can’t really focus on things. I registered for gym and I was even hearing sounds in my head like a click. I was taking anxiety pills. I had bad dreams can’t sleep well and fear. I started taking rephynol tablet to put me to sleep at night. I sleep late wake up early. I was so irritated cos I couldn’t feel my old happy self again. But at night when I take warm/hot shower I feel more better relaxing and watching television. I have to quit weed for my own good cos last time I tried again it didn’t give me the same feelings like before. I ran to God and anytime I pray I feel more comfortable.

I came across your comment at 9:30pm and was like that’s to long, I’m not reading that. It’s now 1:43 am an I’m up again can’t sleep but was lead back to your comment, idk how bc I thought before I went to sleep I switched to watch something else. Just wow God really used you just know he used you to help me in this time in my life… I’m a week in an my attitude, mood swings are at a all time high, everywhere I turn the smell of marijuana is everywhere but. Ten times stronger, I have that same group I use to smoke with hit me to smoke, I’ve been having urges & cravings, I’m dreaming of weed an even smoking, I’ve been crying so much feeling alone but I’m trying my faith in God is keeping me, prayer is keeping me, when I stopped smoking it was bc I needed God, I wanted to hear him much more clearer, feel his presence but most of all give it up bc I wanted to lean more on him them ppl, places and things. Reading ur comment let’s me know I’m doing the right thing, thank you. I pray you’re doing well since ur comment 11 months ago, I pray God continue to wrap you in his loving arms Be blessed stay blessed ❤
