For me it was never weed or alcohol or anything else just nicotine, nearly 2 weeks off nicotine after two relapses in the past, I do not have any craving it is just the sadness and emptiness that I feel, please god give me strength to overcome this need for dopamine shortcut, and actually deal with my mental issues in healthier way. Thank you Doc for your amazing work!

If you go a week off the substance every other week it rlly helps with withdrawals.

DMT, LSD and psilocybin containing mushroom are just amazing with so many health benefits. Psilocybin mushrooms treatment saved my life honestly from addiction and depression. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms

[@Marylongor]

Yes! Very sure Dr.alishrooms.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Day 23 Today... It's getting tough....first week was just hell. Second week wasn't pleasant either, that's where insomnia and weird dreams kicked in.. After like 10 days appetite started to come back, which was great. At least I could eat. First 14 days is a must. After that, a different period begins.. The worst part was behind me after that, BUT different problems appear after 2 weeks. Now the cravings, the depression and second thoughts and doubts start to come in. The only thing holding me back from going back to smoking was the fact that the first 14 days were hell and I didn't really want to throw that away. Also you are kind of proud of yourself when you wake up knowing you haven't smoke yesterday, that's what kept me till 3 weeks and 1 day today. I'm still going. Am I feeling great?? Hell no!

[@SolBol1]

I started smoking Weed and Cigs at 12 years old and am currently 32. I'm talking a pack to a pack to two packs a day and wake N baking and smoking all day until bedtime. Picked up vaping in addition to the cigs for a few years even. Eventually quit the cigs and vaped only but was going through a pod or two a day atleast. This lasted years. Yesterday I was 1 year and 1 month clean off of anything tobacco or nicotine related! I'm currently on day 8 of no weed as well! It was a real struggle but has been and will be so absolutely worth it!!! Thanks to this channel and a few others as well for making it seem possible! I love seeing other people's stories on this. I hate saying "if I could do it so can you" but trust me I was a degenerate lol. If I can you truly can as well! Good luck everyone! Positive vibes and we'll wishes to all.And thanks for reading this far if you have lol.

[@michaelsmelt5218]

Still off it? Did you replace it with anything else?

[@SolBol1]

@michaelsmelt5218 yup! Day 95 no weed! Feels great I just wish I was 100% back to what I thought I'd be. I smoked for so long, tho I'm sure it will just take a little more time.

[@SolBol1]

@michaelsmelt5218 No I almost did tho! I caught myself starting to want lots of sugar but cut that out quickly lol

[@isaiah8874]

​@SolBol1 Good stuff, bro. I'm happy for you. I'm 19 and trying my best to stay off it on day 6 I believe. No nic no weed. It took me a ling time to get the motivation to quit for good. But the anxiety and depression is a bid downside. Any recommendations on helping the cravings?

[@isaiah8874]

[@makafuniruni]

Worst thing for me is anhedonia setting in between month 1-3. The acute symptoms like no sleep, anger iriitability nightmares, emotions all over the place, depression etc. All of that shit I can cope with. Even the bad shit gives me something to fight or overcome and a weird sense of purpose. The Anhedonia is what is getting me every single time I try to quit. The feeling of nothing. No motivation No enjoyment. not sad not happy just indifferent. Cant find reason in anything in life. All the good things quitting brought with it seems to not matter to me at all. I dont want to see anyone meet new people or do anything I normally enjoy for that matter. Cant cry or feel sorry for myself. I just dont care about life or myself in it. Not suicidal I dont care enough for something like that. Then I go smoke to feel something. It's always a bad feeling, anxiety shame guilt all that shit,. But it's prefereable to not feeling anything at all.

Happy to report I’m finally fully free of all nicotine in products in 2024. Thank you Dr Frank! It’s been almost 4 years of trying on and off to quit smoking, vaping and nicotine gum. I actually became addicted to Nicorette for a while. Finally I cut down and have not consumed any kind of nicotine or nicotine replacement. 💪🏼

[@khy7672]

I spent years obsessed with the idea of quitting that was real fact spoken

Day 8 of no weed and I feel amazing!! It was surprisingly easier than I thought. No withdrawals just a little craving towards night time but I’m almost past that. Next is nicotine and I’m worried about that one! But with your help Dr frank I know I can do it. Your videos over the past 8+ months have helped immensely!!!!

Quit the cancer sticks get the patch and a nicotine inhaler…if your like me the cigarettes and weed went hand in hand…and this is coming from a person who loved smoking also vaped as well with the cigs and weed…day 17 and it’s up and down but honestly nothing feels better then a sober mind and body

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Cannabis makes everything feel better. So now vaping feels even better so you vape even more. That's the biggest problem with weed. It makes both good activities and bad activities even more fun.

[@chuckmateIWIN]

Bro you are inspiring me to change my life

[@FortheLoveofGamingYT]

I have a lot of people I know who are in the camp of quitting cannabis is just a bad idea. It is unique in that way that smoking weed daily is just an important part of life, but of course drinking or other substances are to be avoided. I also used to have a never quitting mentality, but now I’m very focused on quitting. It is sort of odd to see how it’s golden handcuffs in some ways, and it’s almost offensive to suggest stopping or taking a break in cannabis culture. Luckily it does have medical benefits, but for myself I should have quit a decade ago most likely.

[@SmoggyAlastor]

Did have a relapse because of work stress, but it didn't help at all. Weed doesn't solve your issues, just makes you okay with them.

can you make a video about how emotions tie into thi whole thing called addiction? i struggle with forgiving myself and things of that nature and i feel like even when my life is on the up, being stuck in the past keeps me from feeling those natural highs and wanting to go back to substances that dont serve me, Either way keeo up the great work and motivating/inspiring people to do and want better for themselves.

[@AddictionMindset]

You got it! I will do this

[@alvinyakatori83]

@@Goonies1985neversaydie You said it best brother. Ive been sober from weed (my only real addiction) for about a month and a 22 days now and even though i have my days were i feel lonely, depressed or not like myself i know that no matter what getting high wont fix any of those things. I will still feel exactly how i felt before just with being stoned added on top. Im tired of getting high for the same reasons i was years ago and being stuck in this endless loop, ive had enough. And unlike some people who get high to escape i get high and it just causes me to fixate on the things that ill me even more. I feel like its so easy for me to forgive others no matter how bad or how many times theyve wronged me but yet i feel like its so hard to forgive myself. Which in turn feels like it makes me stay to myself more because i dont ever want to be the reason someone says that they are hurt because of me or that they feel down because of something i said or did. whcih i know is not healthy but i never want to feel that guilt or shame from such a thing again. I know that it is not healthy, but i just try to tell myself i am not the person i used to be and never will be again. I think a big part of that feeling this way is me whishing i could go back and right my wrongs, show the people who ive hurt that i am no longer that person anymore and i have and can do better. But unfortunantly thats not always the case and i just have to make peace with the fact that in some peoples minds i will always be that depressed stoner who rather get high all day than go make fun memories and get out of their comfort zone.. i guess life goes on and i have to know that i am doing better and im not that person anymore even if ill never get the chance to prove that to the people that once meant the most to me. But i can prove it to myself and the people who i will meet in the future. Enough wasting our precious years and time on things that dont add value to our lives and steal from our pockets and rob us of our ambition and goals in life. I wish you all the best on your journey through sobreity and know that even if we fall we can get back up brush ourselves off and keep moving forward towards becoming the versions of ourselves we see in our minds and in the mirror lookin back. Much blessings brother. Peace & love.

I was exactly the same when l was 25 bro but more into joints, smoked some chronic stuff that gave me incredible confidence and became abit delusional, it was defiantly laced l think with meth. These days if l have a joint its just weed with no spin but l prefer having an edible as it last longer and is heaps cleaner. I didn't really understand weed in my 20's and had to learn what was good and bad over the years. I would of paid & smoked stuff that wasn't even weed. My trip to Canada when l was 30 was very educational and got to see how scientists produce the stuff, had the best time there especially in Vancouver. These days l try and be moderate with it all but ill always love the stuff

[@MrLudwig101]

Replace smoking weed with reading first, or watching movies. Something you have to focus on. those war movies like “1917” or all “quiet on the western front” distracted me from cravings because you’re mind is so far away from thinking about smoking. You want to be a new person over night, working out eating healthy it’s like that old saying “you try to be all things to all people at once you end up being nothing to nobody”
