What to expect after 20 days after quitting weed. Here's my experience. I think a lot of people will see this as weed quitting motivation. As I say seek for fulfillment in the things we do not the things we consume.
@@xhsk8276 You can do it! Im almost a month in, you are absolutely right though sucks hard qt the start. Think of the positives and push through, it gets way better and all the perceived negatives is just the addiction trying to beat you. You are strong enough to break through!
4 days in and it’s fucking garbage but all of my friends who quit tell me it gets significantly better after being a heavy pothead for about 5 years.. it’s garbage but it’s feeling less garbage everyday.. can’t remember the last time I had a clear head.. can’t wait to get there again
Quit 2 months ago,best decision I’ve made in years,I have less anxiety less paranoia more energy more money I look healthier I sleep better,I feel so much happier in myself tbh…that constant brain fog is gone,I thought I was helping my depression and anxiety by smoking weed when in fact i think it was making it much worse.
@@pukki3485 3 or 4 weeks maybe once you break the habit but you have to keep yourself busy which shouldn’t be a problem to you because you’re not high all the time and will have a lot more motivation.I still get some anxiety but I feel like I can deal with it a lot better because I’m not looking to smoke a joint as a coping mechanism
@@3218franky quitting wasn’t for me. I have ptsd and anxiety and choose not to take prescribed meds to help. What changed my weed experience personally was learning more about what different strains do for my body and the power of CBD. I only smoke 1:1’s now or an even bigger ratio of CBD to THC if possible. You get a break from your stress and anxiety without the THC increasing your anxiety. CBD is the real healer if you ask me, but everyone’s body is different. God bless and I hope this helps!
@@WifeyAF I'm on day one, so I'm not entertaining it at this time. I don't want to rely on anything and I have quit for 4 months at a time.I do know a few people who take CBD and love it. I tried it before and it didn't do what weed did for me. I'm DONE with weed now. I'm happy to quit. It was getting to be a toxic relationship and lately I've had anxiety with it and haven't been sleeping well.
Today I hit 20 days without weed after 16 years smoking everyday. I feel amazing, no cravings and my mind feel so clear and healthy. The first two weeks was hell, insomnia and very irritable, but now it’s another life. Thank you for this video, you are the man. 👊🏽. Keep it up everyone and do your best.
I’ve been smoking everyday for the past 3 years... and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of feeling high if that makes sense. Being high no longer feels fun to me anymore. It just feels... normal. And now I want to feel something different. But shit, it’s hard. :/
I couldn’t put it any better. I have so much drive and then I’ll smoke thinking I’m going to have the same drive but I can’t get shit done. So I’m being honest with myself I must quit. Like you said it ain’t even fun for real no more. I’ll just eat something good then pass out
you lot need serious tolerance break that’s why you can’t feel shit your used to it .Take a couple weeks break (I know it’s easier said than done) and after that watch how the weed smokes you instead GL
I’ve been addicted for over 20 years so quitting was daunting. But I kept trying and failing within 48 hours. However I kept persisting and now I’m two weeks sober. It feels amazing not being controlled by any drug. I’ll never go back
Thank you so much. This is so encouraging. I have been addicted to weed/dabbing for 3 years. I’m officially 4 days sober. Having horrible night sweats, can’t eat anything without feeling like throwing up, can’t sleep right now & have to be up for work in 3 hours. I’m trying so fuckin’ hard. Thank you will try to stay strong
I'm quitting right now too. I feel the exact same way. I've had to completely change how I spend my free time because I can't sit around and do nothing when I'm not high.
I really appreciate all of the things you said in this video. 5 months ago my gf and I broke up and after that I started smoking weed more often. Smoking weed went from every saturday to every weekend, and from every weekend to every day. It got to the point where things felt "weird" when I was sober or I had constant brain fog. Today is the first time in 3 months I've gone a day without smoking weed. When I became dependent on weed I would get full blown anxiety attacks for no reason. I'd get paranoid. Not that someone would hurt me but that there was something wrong with my mind, or that I was losing control of my thoughts. Today is my day one, to anyone reading this comment I wish the best to you and if you're quitting too, I know you can do it! There was a time in all of our lives when we didn't smoke weed, goodluck!
Dude the exact same thing happens to me. I’ve been having weed panic attacks for years. They are crazy scary. Just like you say; my mind starts racing into an uncontrollable speed, and I feel like I’m dying. If you saw me in one of these episodes you would think I was having a fit, or a full psychiatric emergency. I have NEVER had one without weed, but have had hundreds with weed meaning It’s not me, it’s the weed. I’m trapped in a hell between marajuana dependency and these attacks.
Hey brother I hope you’re doing well , any update on your journey quitting ? I’ve been smoking for years and tried quitting for years and I’ve been sober for 3 weeks now and never felt better. I have tried to quit so many times I’ve lost track and I’ve always relapsed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but take the lessons from each experience and use it to become stronger when you try to quit again. No matter how many times you go back to it don’t give up on yourself , it is tough at first , but try to learn what triggers you to want to smoke such as stress , family , even friends unfortunately and learn to coexist without having to smoke and if they’re your real friends they will support you , try to keep yourself occupied with anything else , exercise, video games , movies or work. It is tough but always remember that god will never put you in a situation you can not handle and that is a fact. Stay strong brother , please respond If you get a chance , I wish you the best.
You just described the same things that are happening to me I am truly committed to quit weed as it feels like it went from fun to do one time a month to addiction smoking everyday
@@paytondiharce3724 stay strong brother , I’m 7 weeks in and feel amazing , it’s ok if you relapse but prayer and perseverance will help you overcome the addiction
It's my first day trying to quit smoking for the hundredth time, and I really appreciate this video. "Seek fulfillment within the things you do in your life, not the things you consume." I'll remember that! 💕
same here buddy I quitted few times but this time I'm not going back to smoking. two days weed free and I start to feel good. are you still sober weed free?
I watched this video about a year ago when I decided to quit smoking weed, it motivated and encouraged me to follow through. I’m one year without weed now. Thank you
I've been smoking since 2010. I'm 26 now and I've finally decided to face my demons head on. I relied on weed to help me fall asleep without having to deal with the thoughts of past pain and trauma. I'm scared af of not being able to sleep...but its now or never!! Good luck to everyone here who's going through the same.
My spirit has been screaming at me to stop smoking weed since I did a mega dose of shrooms in 2018. It’s been tough but I’m on day 5 after smoking for almost 10 years straight. My mind is losing it but my spirit feels happy.
So my next question is shrooms really good for u I use to think ppl that did shrooms where burn outs but my friend talked me into it who I trust snd it was a spiritual experience and it made me feel like my 18 yr ok’d self again so innocent and care wana tell everyone my feelings how sorry and happy I want them to be lt was great experience but is shrooms really good for our body and brain does it hurt us in the long run like alcohol and weed is my question and I swear I sound high but I’m sober day 1 of no weed so I’m just rambling
Shrooms made me want to stop dabbing which I did, now on day one on quiting herb. Gotta love shroomies for reflection and I feel you on the spirit of you.
My experience with weed is crazy. Been smoking for 5 years daily and ive tried going a couple days without it and i feel way more sociable and confident. After i smoke again i cringe ALOT on how i interacted with people which is scary. I dont know what that is called but im sure its something.
Loads of fake quit videos, or people trying to find 'peace in the world'. Thank you for making a video that speaks to me. You don't look like an ex smoker, but you definitely speak it. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Man everything you said is exactly what I went through I’m so happy I’m clean now man so much more motivated my relationship with my family has gotten so much better I’m more confident more social. Congratulations on being clean man best thing I ever did
Cooper Stellar Nah man not really makes me more paranoid tbh i feel a lot more confident either sober or with a little bit of alcohol in me weed just isn’t my thing some people do feel better high on it though which is cool but I can’t say the same even though I’d want to
The biggest problem is to not start again. As stupid as it sounds. I quited weed for a couple of month a few times but always felt back on the same patterns after some time..my problem is that this motivation of staying clean dissappear after a few weeks and I question my decision. I will continue to try and wish everyone who really wants it (whats the most important is) best luck 😊
I’m on day 3 of no weed! after 13 years of smoking from morning till I go to bed. It hasn’t been easy I can’t sleep and have no appetite but I’m gonna stick to it because I need change in my life and I feel like this is the best way achieve that. I’m not gonna lie I miss it like crazy I hope I’m almost through the worst of it and like others have commented I’m writing this to keep myself motivated and in a way hold myself responsible.wish me luck!!
Ive been smoking weed for 10 years, today is day 1 of quitting and I am nervous af! Already super emotional, but listening to others really helps! Wish me luck, its about damn time!
Don't give up, you're greater than your addiction and it's not worth the risk, if you so continue to smoke, do it in a healthier fashion and only every so often. You deserve to be truly happy and weed is not the key to that. Stay strong and I believe in you
Dang you hit it right on the nail. I’m 26, been smoking since 14. And still smoke heavy, only pot tho. Can’t imagen my life without it but also have never tried... I just know I feel so lost without it.. It’s been my everyday for forever.. but this is inspiring. Thank you
I never enjoyed intoxication. I live in Alaska now and lots of people are high all day. I enjoy meditation without substances for real. This video is amazing because it’s so reassuring. Now I feel like I’m not missing anything anymore.
Reefi C that is awesome. I have slowly come to hate it. I would love to have hated it from the get go! You had something you very, very right when you’re brain was developing
Reefi C did you come here to poke fun at the junkies because what you said is like telling an amputee that you've always had your limbs and it has been great
Thank you for your video man I’m 29 been smoking daily since 13 with a few attempts at quitting but I’m on my 3rd day clean and I’m happy that you are sharing your story because it gives me confidence. Thank you!
Day 22: My head is bursting right now. Been a smoker for past 2 years couldn't imagine how my life gonna be without weed. And here I am listening to this great advice. 1 thing I can surely tell my fellow Stoners is that It actually worths it. Finally after so long I've been utilising my time in a constructive manner but Yeah still i couldn't extract the full potential of my brain but with few more weeks I am gonna come out cleaner than ever before. ☮️🙏.
Props to everyone on the journey to stop! This popped up in my recommended.. I have been a daily smoker for about two years but I don’t want to stop. I live in Cali and we are surrounded with good weed. It hasn’t interfered with my life yet so I don’t see why I need to stop. I will detox here and there for a month or so.
Lota of 40 50 plus smokers here that have been smoking daily there whole lives and are tired of it wasting their money and i guess yea there just done and tired of it I guess, or it just doesn't make them happy anymore idk but yeah an idk i kinda feel them sometimes cause to me now it feels like i am wasting time
@@cooperstellar201 I agree, too much of anything can be bad. I can't picture myself an everyday smoker over 5-10 years It's a struggle to quit but it's going to benefit your life.
Dude I live in Amsterdam we got Cali stuff for 50 years now… I smoked 13 years 24/7 I know its Nice Really Nice even…. But health goes down every year … Money too… Even if You have OWN weed it droom cost money In those 13 years i enjoyed it yes But was it worth fucking my Health Nope Was it worth the 65 000 $ Nope I could have done so Much more with the money and my lifetime Yeah I miss it after a workday or weekends But to be depending on a plant 24/7 to feel ok was the drop That Made me quit Enjoy it but in 10 years You will understand what me and so many ex addicted people are saying
@@renatowarrens5552 Hi It’s bittersweet I wrote that and you comment today because since then I have changed my mindset & quit daily smoking. I took 10 months off after I had a baby and let me tell you, there was a deep reflection period and shift in my mentality. I picked back up on it, for a minute it really helped me because I was feeling depressed. I have decided I can no longer keep up with this childish habit for the benefit of my baby and our future. You are so right, all we can do is move on and do better. I wish you great health, Have you looked into alkaline diet 🤍
“Seek fulfillment with the things you do in life, not what you consume” this quote is powerful man. I’m on day 6 going on 7 of not smoking weed and I feel pretty good. Whenever I get cravings I watch videos like these to remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you’re doing well brotha!
B Love yessir it’s been about a month now and I gotta say I feel pretty good. I used to smoke everyday like right when I woke up and till I went to bed. My happiness, motivation and goals in life haven’t really changed but it’s nice knowing I don’t have to depend on an external substance to get me through the day or control my emotions.
I know it’s been 2 years but I just wanted to let you know that having this video of a down to earth guy like you talking about this process gives me some hope that I can quit soon. I’m planning on taking a no-weed-November to see how my mood is affected. I hope you’re doing well bro, keep ok keepin on ✌️
Yeah forever is a long time - I gave up for Lent and now Lent is over but I feel so GOOD nothing could make me go back to that dependency. Basically I replaced weed with Muay Thai, a whole different drug! And the things I was worried about, like losing my creativity when I stopped - basically the opposite has happened. Been out there doing new stuff, getting out of my comfort zone, and getting super creative.
@@ninamartin1084 losing my creativity is my concern weed has helped me get out of bed when I didn’t want to as well as have the “strength” to create and do art.
That park looks so nice and peaceful. Diesel keep up the great sober works. You look incredibly healthy and clairvoyant. We need to talk about this more. Thank you for sharing your great journey.
Thanks for the video mate. I’ve been smoking since I left the military almost 2 years ago. I didn’t smoke at all for the 5 year I served. Time to sort my shit out again and this video will help. Respect brother from the U.K.
I’ve been smoking for 5 years, but I’ll usually take 1-2 months off a year as a reset. The first few days are definitely the hardest, but knowing that I will feel all the positive benefits once I get 1-2 weeks in gives me motivation to continue doing it. Good luck to all of you out there, we are all in this together
Yo man I mad appreciate everything you do Because of you I was able to stop smoking I watched your video once and it inspired me so much I’ll never pick it up again I smoked for 16 years of my life and I never thought I could do it man Your amazing man thank you truly
Thanks B. Truly appreciate your honesty as well as experience. Been trying to quit for a while but today.... today..... I'm quiting. Thanks for your inspiring video. Peace and Light.
It has been 90 days since i stop smoking weed after smoking ful time for 17 years the best thing i have ever done for me if i can stop anyone can i save my money . Have alots of energy i work out i say no to my self for the things thats not good for me
@@RSPGlitchesFR I've smoked most of 15 years, half my life. I find the main side effect is short term memory loss. I think THC helps the brain forget things and let things go faster, from my experience anyway. It's a good tool in that sense, but it also makes it impossible to keep up with everyone as conversations fade quickly if your a full time user like me. This also means I tend to be less social & have more anxiety towards people and conversation with people i'm not 100% familiar with. That said, the pressures of society and the ability to sit at home on a computer has allowed me to build multiple business and pretty much live a retired life from about 29 years old. Not wealthy, just smart with passive business opportunities. I often quit for a month or two, but if I smoke once that's it for at least 3 or 4 months, smoking from dusk till dawn. I'm fully aware I am an addict, I don't particularly enjoy smoking and now use mainly oils to save my lungs. I don't remember dreams at all when I smoke. When I come off smoking my motivation comes back and it can be pretty full on for me. I end up starting businesses going into what feels to me like hyper-drive where I obsess over ideas and have the motivation to fulfill them. Social anxiety goes away. My memory comes back and so do my dreams. However memory is not what it could have been if I never smoked. But same goes for fast food, lack of exercise etc. I don't think smoking is bad if you want a simple life. But smoking full time is a full-time job.
Oh my goodness when I think of the money I spent on weed I hate myself because I could have paid off my car or something good in life ,I stop smoking weed for about a month and half after off and on for 6 yrs
Dude...thank you for this video. I recently gave up my daily weed habit. I'm finishing my stash after progressively smoking less and less. The first 3 days were indeed tough, but then...I was okay. It really was hard for a moment here or there after those first few days. Then it's fine, it gets easier to find other things to do, and you realize that you don't need it to enjoy life. It doesn't open up your mind if you're smoking it heavily or daily. Nightly couch lock will cost you unless you're done achieving all of your goals in life or are extremely privileged. Smoke responsibly, never in times of sadness or to deal with strong negative emotion. That could cause you to depend on it, at least mentally. Now, I gotta stop with cigarettes, but quitting weed has helped me gain the confidence to start planning my exit from nicotine. I can resist the cravings, and that feels amazing, like I won another battle in my war against my harmful habits. Thank you again for the motivation to keep going, man. I really appreciate you for this video.
Joyce Marie DEFINITELY its a mind thing , after the 3rd day i dont even care for it . Its like it keep you depending on it you just gotta really wanna change 💯 its a small thing to a GIANT tho WE DONT NEED DAT SHIT 🙅🏿♂️ at all i hope you good 🤟🏿
Almost 4 months of no weed. Im so happy to see all these comments of people trying to quit weed. You will thank yourself so much for doing this. Benefits are everywhere. Weed is too commercial now a days and yes, anyone can do what ever they want but smoking weed is and forever will be more harm than good, especially on the long run. Congrats to everyone and keep it up! I've been craving to relapse but visiting these type of videos every now and then really helps me to keep going.
"seek fulfillment in the things you do in life, not in the things you consume" -- This is very similar to the revelation I had when I decided to quit. I realized I wanted to be happy because I did something good, not because I put something in my body. It's the same message, just phrased differently. But so so true.
First video I watched: im quitting in the next few days (when I’m out). I’m scared and happy and excited and worried. Good advice man. Keep up the progress
Yup, I was having major analysis paralysis on weed. I'm 5 days in to quitting and I already have jumped into projects I've wanted to do head first without even a second thought. I agree with Jay-Z. Weed is something that is fantastic once in a blue moon for perspective. After that it's best to leave it alone again.
@@Nvrsl depends how your head is i suppose, mines a mess so still getting the anxiety after 2 months although ALOT less intense but I guess that's something iv always had id say couple of weeks to a month youl feel pretty good. All about positivity aswell tell yourself your sound youl be sound.
@@Nvrsl last time I quit after smoking daily for a couple of years I found it took me a full 12 months to get my confidence back in conversations etc I would have been in my late 30's. From previous times that I had quit (once for over 10 years) I'm finding that it takes longer the older you are.
@@mjb1859 So when does the fog clear? I'm on day 57 and I still feel like I'm high at times...and I still feel like being lazy and wasting time. What should I do? Do you think fasting might help?
Thanks brother. I’ve been dealing with weed addiction tbh for about 12 years I’m 29 now and it’s definitely been time for me to stop and reprogram my brain. But this video was a great help bro I appreciate it
Damnnn I've smoked loads in the past but never had any withdrawals luckily, been fortunate enough unlike some people in those comments and I gotta say keep it up broskies 💪
Really great video and nicely said. My explanation of weed is that it makes things okay that are actually not okay. I'm 3 days in after 7 years of smoking. I'm going to break the habbit now. But still when I will have something to celebrate in the future I will for sure rather smoke a joint than drink a glass of whiskey :)
Thank you brother for your words , your are an intellectual. I am in the same boat , constantly trying to stop smoking weed for the past 12 years. I do believe weeed is great when used in Moderation, but for me I abuse it and alway end up feeling bad . I know what to expect , how to feel when quitting weed it’s just that whenever I get to a point in my sobriety something really great happens in my life and then I try to reward myself with a smoke and then I’m right back to square one . This time I will not reward myself when something good happens I will just be aware of good things happening when I am not smoking and staying sober and that’s motivation.
Yes, but unfortunately a lot of people can't do things in moderation and there in lies the problem. For example I smoked every single day for 18 years before quitting. So obviously I didn't do it in moderation, but I totally agree with your statement.
I agree the weed is not the same. I've smoked off and on a decade. Earlier in the decade I was able to quit much more simpler I made it 6 days and gave in. I appreciate the motivation to try again.
I quit weed for 2 weeks and when I came back from holidays I just went directly to my old habits once I light up a joint. Your video gives me hope to start again and again until I am sober again. It is so hard to do this when everybody around you smokes on a daily basis..
Yeh and if they don't support you it's harder try distance your self a little because you subconscious mind can affect you more than you think focus on yourself week 3 to 4 is when you need to heavily focus on your social influence
Cut right down from going at it all day everyday, to a bowl on the morning and spliff midday, bowl on the night going to cut right bk this week ,great video
Great video!!! The testimonies in ths thread are spot on👌 reaffirms the self dialong I would have with myself interfacing with weed/ seeing its effect on others aswell..... theese testimonies are just as powerful as the message being presented in video.......
Thanks for this bro. I’ve been in like a weed coma for the last 21 years and I’ve gone cold turkey 5 days ago. The last few days have been hard but today feels different, it’s good to hear you say it get easier from here. Walks with the dog and training in the gym is what it’s all about from now on, I am no longer maryjanes bitch! 👊🏼
Today I’m 21 days sober & it feels so good. I feel you when you said today’s products has some addicting shit in it. I’ve been smoking for about 2 years and I’m going to the Army in June so quitting was a must. The first 4 days were hectic, I couldn’t sleep or eat, I was so depressed and would wake up in the middle of the night crying for no reason. These past 2 years FLEW by but I guess that’s what weed does. And no weed addiction isn’t as bad as heroin & all that shit but any addiction sucks👎🏽
@@KawanLopes if they check ur hair ur fucked. I got kicked out of the army because they analyzed hair from under my fucking arms and found out that I had smoked weed. I had been sober for 3 months...
This is great advice this is going to be my 19 day Since the last time I smoked and I’m doing a 30 day detox and when I go back to smoking I will do it more like the way you have presented here. Thank you
Exercise and sweating/sauna (to the people in the comments) helps SO MUCH to get it more quickly out of your system trust me. I have never felt better than any of the times I was high. I quit and it's been a week. I also quit both binge/chronic drinking along with the chronic daily smoking.
You are so right that the weed keeps you complacent. I would sit in front of my computer playing video games for literal hours on end and watching boring things that wasn't even interesting!! I was so out of my mind that just sleeping would have been fine. It was so dumb. Once I quit, I couldn't play the SAME video game that I spent the previous day playing 9+ hours for more than 30 MIN! I couldn't believe it. The weed also made me so unbelievably LAZY, I couldn't be bothered to throw out the trash! Immediately these days, I am READING again, consuming INTERESTING intellectual content I loved, taking CARE of myself both mentally and physically and also not to mention the emotional balance and immediate positive change in my relationships with my family (parents mostly) and friends. I am 25 years, I messed up my life and used at increasing rates since the age of 21. I am glad I didn't take even longer to make this change. I am continually amazed daily at the change in how I feel, the focus, and seeing what really matters in my life and that's living my best life not being dependent on ANYTHING, including other people.
Same im 25. I stopped a week ago. Guess 2020 truly is the year we see things clearly. I would sit watching RU-vid videos about nothing too. I stopped reading books. I dropped out of college not realizing the reason I couldn’t focus on the lessons was because i was always high. I wasted a lot of time honestly. I could smoke all day doing nothing not even watching tv just laying there. I smoked 5-6 blunts (maybe more) a day and didn’t even enjoy the high anymore. I worked out a few days after stopping my brain was so fried I couldn’t even count the reps out loud or in my head. 😐 I’d drive places or go into rooms and forget why im even there. I feel like we do it to avoid our real problems. I know for me I’ve been depressed since the 11th grade. I am not who i use to be and I’m embarrassed af. Im glad u stopped. I just seen we’re the same age and related to ALL of ur experiences. ❣️💯
Unique, thanks for writing what you did. I’m on my second day currently, I play a fuck Ton of video games but these two days sober I haven’t even looked at my ps4.. it’s nice
Slime Doll tysm I deeply appreciate the kind words. Have u taken up any activities to pass the time ? Maybe back to school ? Curious what others are doing weening off.
Sean Combs i was already enrolled in a nail tech program. Im about to enroll in some online classes at a local college tho (under general studies). Maybe by the time this pandemic is over I’ll have got my core classes all finished. I started gardening and i just bought a meditation bowl to start meditation. I use to post on RU-vid about to start that up again too. Also scheduled an appointment with a therapist for Monday. I feel better but steal healing one day at a time.
5:41 that point convinced me to quit weed after 4 years of smoking every SINGLE day. I became so lame honestly.. I lost my ability to be interesting while conversing with people. All of that excitement i used to get letting people who I am is gone. only during rare occasions throughout those years where i sobered up, was actually the only times I could be interesting to people. I felt my intellect and humour begging to come back. I could make people laugh again
