@@steverentfro6862 do you have anyone in your life like a partner or a family member who can help you through day one, day two and so on… I found it’s an amazing help to be completely honest with someone about it and you might find that they get excited about it with you. Believe me once you’ve got through the first phase it gets so much easier and the pride of what you have accomplished is beautiful. Good luck my friend
I am on day 8 sober from dab carts and Hyde’s I feel like I can actually breathe and I just can’t stop thinking about getting high but I keep making myself busy to keep away i appreciate your videos 100% anyone wanting to quit seriously just make the jump and do it!!!
I chose to relapse last night because of how bad I was depressed I figured it was better for me to relapse and not go to far with my own depression ! Hate myself for it !
Ay, now you got a new high score to beat! Depression is a bitch, my man. Don't let this slip up ruin your progress. Keep trying! You'll be so glad you kept up your effort. Wishing you and all of us the best on this crazy journey.
Don’t hate yourself for it, worrying about past choices won’t help you.. all we can do is learn from our mistake. Wish you all the best dude, hope you are alright!
You have a literally saved my life. I am almost 30 days sober from smoking dabs and weed for over 20 years and I couldn’t be happier. I am pursuing my own business. I am living a life of freedom. I feel so free and so happy now. thank you for all you said is really help me get through the worst of times.
My life is relatively successful which makes me think weed isn’t a problem. Yet, deep down, I know it’s keeping me in the wrong mindset. Especially the “what’s the point” mindset which carries into so many other things that I know I deserve and could achieve easily. I’m day 1 right now and I already know if I can quit it will snowball into other areas of my life Also, the addition mindset is insane. And it’s insane that we identify with it. I’m into spirituality and see the addiction to substances as the same as our addiction to suffering and ego. It’s so powerful and we don’t even notice it until we “call it out” as you said. Powerful stuff man. Cheers
Thank you again Dr Frank. Day 8 for me and now the only negatives are the nightmares/super vivid dreams. I'm already back creating music, working harder, earning more, spending more time with my gf and family. This channel has been such a help.
Dr. Frank I would love your perspective on losing sight of who you used to be before addiction took over. I wanted to recapture the confident happy person I was before weed. I got so entrenched in the marijuana world that I nearly forgot who I was. My main motivation has always been a knowing that I was a much happier person before active addiction. I miss that person and want more than anything to find him again and live the rest of my life rebuilding that person.
Hi. I relate to everything you talked about. I am now on day 3 of not using delta 8 and 9 thc vapes. I did have 15 years of sobriety from crack, pot and alcohol but relapsed on those vapes. I thought I could control it, after all it's only thc. I got addicted from the first hit of delta 8 thc vapes. I am not having any physical withdrawal symptoms but the mental craving hits me the most in the evenings. I was debating going out to buy another thc vape until I saw your video. I'm going to wait another day and hopefully the craving will pass. Thank you for what you do.
Cravings do pass with time. You don’t need to act on the cravings. I have a bunch of videos on cravings if you search the channel. Any of my videos on nicotine cravings will also apply to THC
Day 4 no thc I can’t sleep right now and was thinking maybe I’ll just smoke at night and when you explained celebrating the withdrawal symptoms because it means I’m winning that really hit bro had to subscribe Thankyou
Monday will be one month THC free and this week the cravings been kinda hard. It's just that feeling of wanting to feel good, but I remember why I quit. I was having panic attacks and really bad anxiety. Quiting has helped and I know deep down I feel better now. Thanks for the video.
Today is 71 days thc free, love ur channel, the timing of this was perfect cuz I'm finally feeling good and feeling ready to get back to work , and that's where I'm glad I seen this today, thanks brother 💪
The videos you make have impacted me in such a positive way and gives me so much hope to actually accomplish quitting. Thank you so much for what you do :)
damn i felt this really...i was raped when i was 6 and i never knew how to handle myself im very antisocial because im scared to have friends...growing up til i was 15 i open up to my parents my mom didn't believe me she thought it was the drugs my dad did..overall im 20 i figured alot of things out i just wish i was emotionally strong i feel broken alot but this video made me realize the "bullshit" lies i was telling myself ima stop is now for real..ever since i found your channel you really got my eye open.
I am so so so sorry to hear what had happened. With that being said, dont let addiction use past trauma as fuel for its use, this is how addiction traps many people. Trauma does not need to be defined by addiction, it’s a lie that addictive voice tells us. I am glad this video hit home for you
I am 8 days clean from Mary Jane. It’s like the emotions are deep now because I have been numb for so long. I relapsed over the 4 th of July holiday because of Stress I almost lost my dog.
Yup. I did that and it scared me. Even touching it made me step back and say, hey, no. I went back to “sober” and back to being productive. In some way it made me feel strong, I pushed it away.
another fire video dr frank i get really excited when i get notification of a new video coming through from ur great channel.. day 14 today off weed and tobacco still a journey ahead of me but each day feels better 🙂 thanks mate 🇭🇲
Thank you doctor frank. I see myself in you. I love you. I love you. I really love you.You aren't aware of how much help I have received from you in quitting Thc .Thank you Dr. Frank again ,I really love you and will meet with you ,I wanted to do one to one but I can not afford it because I am still dependent on my parent's income. I thought I was the only person insanely obsessed with thc.Again , Thank you ,I am quitting it today
I have been clean and sober now for a few weeks don’t really want to count the days just keep pushing through I try not look back just thinking of the future now and all the good that’s going to come with it already got a new job and feel way more productive 🙏
You are so down to Earth , I have quit weed cold turkey 4 days ago , and in the last 2 days I was a HAIR away from relapsing , thankfully I have a punching bag in my basement , so I use it until that "wish" for weed is gone . I have subscribed to your channel , and have bookmarked a lot of your videos in my browser , and also sent those link to myself via email (just in case) . I think I need to learn how to "punish myself" in a productive way . If you find the time to reply to this comment I would really appreciate the advice .
Can officially say I’ve been sober for 3 months. #90days #nothc #nonicotine #noalcohol #noadultmedia now I just have to change my diet and life style…. I want to start working out more consistently, drinking more water, cooking and eating healthier foods at home, getting more time outside … etc… thanks for all the support Dr Frank!!!! Any extra tips for me to level up?
I’m at the 3 week point (since quitting weed) but I’m in a stressful life phase. I want something to take the edge off but I don’t want to smoke weed. Idk what healthy coping mechanisms to replace it with
Wow 427 days... the dizziness was a massive issue for me. I think it’s mostly due to blood sugar issues after quitting smoking. Do you feel better after eating fruit? Or carbs?
I relapsed a week ago. I was having trouble getting things done, so I went to get 1 thc gummie. I had a great day! I got a lot done, even went to work!! I was so happy! I thought, I'll do one gummy a day, right?😮 wrong. I'm up to 2 or 3 and have to go through quitting again 😢. Do do it guys, it's not worth it! I'm back on the wagon again starting today.
I got laced with fake acid 6 months ago. Best thing that coulda happened to me, it helped me quit weed because I couldn’t smoke it without tripping or having visuals, so it finally got me off thc and cbd for good.
Hi dr, I think you should mention that some people when they get off weed, like me, besides irritability and other things they can also get intrusive thoughts, ruminating thoughts telling themselves over and over to quit ect… so obsessive thinking it’s really bad. I noticed that it was a problem after smoking it for three weeks every day, I went for a surf in the morning and I didn’t have any, and I should be enjoying it but I was just angry and having intrusive ruminating thoughts, same thought over and over again type thing. I felt like I didn’t have any joy unless I had it. That’s when it became a problem and it only took 21 days to get fully addicted. and I was only smoking litte amounts but doing it every day. I’m glad I am day 4 quiting because it Allways ends up same result for me, starts off nice but then addicted then try to get off it and feel this anxiety over thinking type symptoms. It’s not good for mental health that’s for sure
Doc your videos help me so much. Might i ask you? How is it mentally working with addicts watching people over and over relapse and not stay true to there word and constantly dealing with peoples problems ? Ik you love what you do but i feel like it would get annoying to see people making comments like there 7 days clean when you know there gunna smoke again probably. Kinda hard what im trying to ask.
Today is day 3.. I just snapped on my girlfriend and she did nto deserve it.. But its cuz im so irritable... I had to explain to her after I left that the withdrawal are the cause.. That voice is louder today tahn ever.. But i fought teh urge to go to the smoke shop just now.. I always come and watch Your videos.. They are keeping me going.. Thank you
quited like a month ago for 15+ days felt so good and in control but had insane near realistic day dreams a light(child on a holiday) mood, it felt so good as if my sober mind wanted to reverse the vast sadness and emptiness and went overdrive on natural mood boosters and better than all the mood swings finally stopped, but unfortunately i relapsed bcz i thought i am stronger more aware and more cautious than before, have a little left, will finish them and redo the same torture as the previous one's.
Week 6 here and this anxiety is the worst body anxiety. Can you explain the dangers of THC-O? I smoked it heavily for a month. I was on it 24/7 that whole month basically and when I stopped I had insomnia,diarrhea,stomach cramps, anxiety/depression, sweats, chills, and panic attacks. Like I said the anxiety is still there just more manageable and less intense but when it does act up it it’s the worst. I only get this type of anxiety after drinking alcohol the night before.
Love all your videos Dr. Frank, thank you for what you do Do you know anything on whether CBD reduces withdrawls? Ive been considering cbd oil IF I experience withdrawls, and only oil so Im not reminded of weed, but i dont know if its actually helpful
Or maybe it’s the things that were done I understand much But many don’t understand and are ignorant What about the one who was under influence and people judge that character all the while not aware to be knowing of the character underneath
How funny, I quit for 10 days then ended up smoking with a friend started smoking again back where I started, but now I keep seeing relapse videos, when I was quitting I was seeing quitting and how to deal with it videos.
@@AddictionMindset thank you. I hit my thc pen few times an hour every hour I'm awake. Even when I'm at work and don't have it I get depressed and all I think about is getting to dispensary for another cartridge. From the moment I wake up until I go to sleep I'm hitting the pen. Been smoking since 13 I just turned 37 Nov 5th. I even tried getting cbd cartridge to try help me off thc. Did not help. Couldn't even go a full day with just cbd pen.
Can caffeine addiction make them not feel normal or happy. If they go with out it for a day. Having a drink with out caffeine. ? To feel normal and happy. When it comes to drug addictions. Lots of people don't understand what there dealing with
I got put on toxic pills as a child and currently use delta 8 tch along with normal pot every day instead. take breaks, manage your dose be aware of problems that may be a part of use ( i really stay focused on staying productive more than average to counteract side effects) there is a middle ground if the drug is a real solution. im happier and healthier than ever. if your struggling getting sober now maybe theres a step between where you are in control of your use atleast and could move on to sobriety if it doesnt work
In a case like this we are talking about two different things, this video is geared towards those struggling with addiction, not those Experiencing an enhanced quality of life due to medical benefit
Im epileptic boss, each time i leave the hospital after a seizure it seems like they put something in my iv because i go through a big paranormal faze for at least a week. That's the only time it seems like i can stop! It's hard at the moment im really trying to find new habits, i use to be addicted to wine blacks and newports but i killed that faze by replacing it with just weed now its hard to stop this 12 year faze,any advice?
Common side effect for some ive felt bored after 14 days before and i was doing something everday lots of hobbies just forcing myself eventually i gave up tho
@@AddictionMindset id just say life at the time tbh had something kinda crazy happen . Then had a car accident so feel stuck in the cycle due to pain and certain illnesses want to try to do tcm. I know weed just distracts the pain but i felt out of a window and had a car land on me so was pretty impactful
@@westlisbon6307 hahah yes no crack... my main struggles were nicotine, weed, energy drinks and adult media content. 99.99% of the time i am sober, once a year i may wind up getting a alcohol buzz..on the rare occasion i am drinking... but even that as of lately has been none, one of my goals is to drop alcohol for good, simply because of health reasons.
the leading voice for marijuana addiction is some chiropractor in his 20s from upstate NY. Okay I'm not impressed but I don't have a choice so whatever.
