I am 18 days free, I stopped smoking weed and cigarettes at the start of the year, I saw a video of my daughter crying for me, and I realised the only thing stopping me from constantly being around her was so I could smoke without toxicating her, so I decided to stop. The first 7 days were hell I had heart palpitations literally every minute of those first 7 days, there was nights I was going sleep with my heart beating out of my chest, I thought I wouldn’t wake up, then shortness of breathe and lack of sleep from around day 15 has also been difficult, however I think of my daughter and I will not give in, everyone here you got this.
Amazing job, would’ve recommended tapering with patches first then go cold turkey from there. Woulda made the withdrawls a lot more manageable, still bad but better. Great job again though
4 days in without weed after more than 15 years of daily use. Not easy today and the mind really wants to go back to it. Everything is connected to it. It is gonna be a long way and struggle, but trying to stay strong. Thanks for your message
Wow I am so proud of you 4 days is so amazing and with all the time you have congrats! I do it off and on and every time I go back to it it just messes up my whole schedule because it's just way too strong.
3 weeks sober today! Super excited to hit 30 days soon! The initial week was tough, but now I feel so much better, I can eat without being high, I started dreaming again, I can get most things done during the day without it. It feels awesome to be where I'm at. 🎉
Day 3 off weed. Very tired and super short tempered 😔 but staying strong! I am fed up with smoking. I still do smoke nicotine and going to quit that next
10 days sober after smoking multiple times a day for 15 years straight, I couldn’t of done it without your channel dr frank thank you so much for everything you do. I noticed I’ve been having some physical withdrawals mainly irritation and stomach issues, with a lack of energy. Do you know when these symptoms will start to get easier??
I'm wondering also because you've been doing it for so long so it's hard to tell. I am an off and on type of addict and it took me a couple of weeks. I replaced it with exercise which has helped me. Congrats on the 10 days though!
@@shuaibmunshi8630 thank you it been a tough couple days having depression and extremely irritated with the littlest things appreciate your support and I’ll keep pushing forward
4 weeks clean from nic and thc in 4 days. First week sucked, but I also did a 7 day water fast as I quit both and decided to double down on changing life habits-decided to ween off of processed sugar as I started my re-feed. Sugar is as bad of a drug as thc or nic imo. I found that I thought about weed/thc way less during a fast because I was more concerned about not having any food. Nearly 4 weeks in, I don’t even feel hungry doing omad everyday, and I don’t even think about thc or nic. There’s a dab pen in my room just out in the open in my room, no temptations at all. 15lbs from my goal weight. Highly recommend quitting cold turkey 👍🏻
Loved the book! Very helpful! I've been smoking for decades and basically -all of my life ( since age 12). Had a relapse after a few months of being nicotine free ( cold turkey)...Read the book yesterday, listening to this right now and about to smoke my last cigarette forever and get back to my running and my yoga !!! You helped a lot. Thanks so much.
Missed the live, but doing great, 18 days today, and really living life again, lots of struggles, but overcoming all of them! The family, and positive mindset help. 18 days in im still sleeping like shit, so thats the only real hurtle to get over. 20 years of daily use, Im so happy with the progress, just looking forward to sleeping better one day lol! My entire daily routine has improved, mornings are so much better!
Gutted to have missed this LIVE, when will be the next one time & day please? I’m about to quit joints after 20+ years! I know I will need this channel. Watched SO much already. Thank you for doing this Dr Frank! ❤
I had to stop because I got a bad sinus infection but then I picked it back up again...saw that I got addicted again so I stopped and turned to exercise. Madfit has helped me. Like you said you gotta find that replacement that new reward. Exercise has become my new reward and I've been pushing myself little by little but some days rest so that I don't over do it. My boyfriend has been a support through it cause sometimes I'll over do it.
I’ve been smoking daily 3.5 plus of weed every day for 8 years and when I’ve ever tried to quit it’s been horrendous, night terrors, night sweats, irritable, feeling saddened and no hope. I recently went to Tenerife with a group of friends and smoked a bit over there. When I came home I woke up and decided to quit, I’m now on day 5 and have 0 withdrawals expect sweating at night which is the only withdrawal I’ve got. why is this after years of terrible withdrawals? Why now is it feeling like a walk in the park? This is extremely strange to me.
Stay strong friend i know the struggle. It is horrible but know you aren’t alone and that you can make it through. If it gets too bad and lasts too long don’t be ashamed of a relapse. It can help serve as a reset to get some rest and begin again from a lower tolerance. Best of luck my friend.
have you done anything on the emotional/mood regulation of vaping/addiction? I guess it's all interrelated, but I'm currently struggling with anger/easily annoyed/down right moody in the first few days of quitting to the point that I relapse just to give myself and everyone around me a break before I start WW3.
Im proud to say you have made me quit. At 8 pm of Jully 21th i smoked my last cigarette and by the 21th of this month i am officially 6 months off nicotine. Thanks friend.
Years ago I've lefted cigarettes with cigars, cause they're not additive how cigarettes, anyway even if I smoke only few in a month, I've always thinked that I could excape from that thought and stay for at lest one month without cigars. Today I see that I was wrong, that though really overwhelm me from the inside and at least I need a cigars. Don't think that is a question of dopamina but of thinking and thoughts in himself, looks like I cannot quit this circle.
A lot of people are addicted to something. I tend to change my addictions. I like cigars also but never got addicted to them. I hope you are able to stay away from them good luck to you.
@@mariahconklin4150 Thanks for your comment Maria, I agree, but I've noted, in my personal case that change the addiction to another slower one could not be the answer, the point propably is more deep and it's mental, but offcourse it's hard to investigate upon a big issue like that one.
I have smoked weed for 45 years every day my wife got sick and it didn’t interest me anymore It has been only 1 month now I still have it in the house but I don’t go near it.
@addictionmindset I've been following your channel for 6 months. I've been off all marijuana and alcohol for 4 months with not a single slip up or relapse. Cigarettes are killing me. I've tried to quit over 200 times in the last 7 years. I haven't made it past 3 days. Often I get to 24hrs and then cave. It's not even a stressful event or severe craving, it's just automatic behavior to walk to the store and get them. HELP!
Every addiction I’ve broken in my life had one thing in common. I learned to hate whatever the substance was. Focus on the negative things it does to you and only those things. It will help you to truly realize the damage it is doing to your life and why you want to quit. It helps make it so even if others around you are still enjoying that substance you won’t feel like you want or need it because you know you will be a better healthier version of yourself without it and how important and valuable that is to hold onto. Best of luck!!! ❤
Oh and fill your days with activities! Things you love to do as much as possible including eating your favorite foods to serve as a distraction while you detox. That combined with the mental tool from my previous comment will help tremendously i promise 🙏🏼 you can do it!
When they try it do more people like weed then tobacco cigarettes and less likely feel unwell? If so that could make it more dangerous if it was out in shops in every country
