Please keep making videos we really need you at this time because nobody else talks about weed addiction online it’s only pro-weed videos and u really helping us weed addicts out here
I stopped for a week got stressed today was smoking at the beginning of the video and flushed it a few minutes in .. I'm the one that has to have a vendetta mindset 💪💪 f*** weed
I’m not sure if you will see this- i am a smoker who has taken control of my life and formed a healthy relationship with marijuana due to you. Although was able to get out of true addiction and maintain a “special occasion” basis- i wish everyone would hear a few of their points. People don’t realize how insane it is when your brain mindset changes when you break out of the cycle. Thank you for your content. I have been vape free almost a year with no urges- but when i do get an urge, i head over to you. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I am doing AA for that (they accept weed addicts). Give up booze, give up pot, be free. The only drugs allowed in AA are caffeine, nicotine and actual medical drugs (prescribed by dr in good conscience). If you can't get boyfriend/girlfriend (I can't, long story), then you have only the bars and stoner/drunk friends and odd hobby meetup groups that meet up once a month where just three people show up. None of those will work. AA has people who show up and there's always meetings every single day. They also have social events. TONS of people in AA and you actually get to talk to people about life stuff (not just the odd hobby).
I've been weed free since August 1st 2021. I fight off the addicted voice every day. It's not easy, but I am determined to stay sober...screw weed...screw CHS...I got this. Correction: I've been weed free since August 1, 2022, but nevertheless my sobriety is moving forward strong.
46 days strong with the help of your channel amongst other support systems, but this one has been the best!! I hope anyone who sees this and is very early in their journey will get some hope from this. I was a true mess. I would steal to get high. Went through 3/4 an ounce a week. Would have panic attacks if I didn’t have an eighth per day towards the end. If I can do it literally anybody can.
Dr Frank your probably not gonna see this but if you do. Thanks a bunch, I'm 8 days weed free. Your videos helped me so much. This is my second time getting sober, its much easier than the first time(which you also helped with). The insomnia is a bit** but I'm confident it will pass. I'm staying strong.
Most common stoner talk I’ve heard in the community: “Weed helps me calm down, I’m angry/anxious/ stressed without it. Weed is my medicine.” They don’t realise these are often withdrawal symptoms and weed is a bandaid. “I need weed to do XYZ it makes me more XYZ” Nope, it’s actually the opposite I reckon. I have even heard it personified lol “Mary Jane is the love of my life. She is so beautiful”. I don’t know where to start with this one 😂
Hi, I really want to stop smoking weed, it's playing havoc with my mental health . I could go on all night but I won't! The fear of not having any frustrates the hell out of me! But I have just come across your channel recently and it's now time to listen to you . Thank you
I resonate to this so hard from the point of view of both weed and alcohol. I work in the alcohol industry and am very upset with drinking culture and the normalization of behaviour that falls in the category of problematic/habitual usage. The "weed is an escape" "comfy clouds" "wake and bake" thing is so similar to the "wine mom" culture. Both substances, when used in moderation and with harm reduction, can be fine, but as soon as culture normalizes overconsumption or "self-medication"/escapism there's a huge problem
I love how brutal you are with this info. I think every stoner needs to hear this. Weed has taken decades from my life. All of my best years went to addiction. I wish more people could wake up and stop making excuses for their addictions. It's so hard, but you've only got one life. I've made a video on my Delta8 addiction and I wouldn't damn it on anyone.
You helped me quit nicotine, now I’m ready to quit weed. It has been difficult trying to tackle this one. I used it a lot to help quit nicotine because nicotine was eating me alive. Now this is. Any tips please let me know and as always good luck to my fellow people trying to better themselves.
Keep dropping those videos. I’m now turning all my focus on completing my computer science studies. I left this shit after 8+ years. Used it during my teenagers years to even my time as a manager over seeing 5 people. Fuck it/ that’s how I’m feeling now
I'm so glad I found your videos, I quit vaping a year ago, but I got some weed as a gift on christmas, just smelling it got me to smoke it, then I went and got a vape, I felt the nervousness coming back again, I was so bummed, I was losing weight and getting thing done, then it stopped, I told myself thats it, I'm clean for 5 days now, watching your videos are really helping me, thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Right man, thats a very difficult part of the addiction when you think of it as magic, as harmless, or acceptable. Addiction is never an escape. So clear, im trying every day. And i will continue to watch your videos for motivation
Thank you I’ve been trying to quit weed for years but I can’t get myself to. Watching your videos helped me quit for a few weeks in the past and I want to quit again for real
I am going to start back doing cross stitching. And get back to work on losing the 23 lbs I gained since last summer. I am so excited! My spouse smokes but I told him to not even offer it to me. ❤Thank you so much for your amazing & one point messages 💪
Hey Dr. Frank this is a great video! I am 27 days sober and your videos help me stay on the path to recovery. I’ve noticed as of lately my mind is giving me that “stoner talk.” It’s always random but out of nowhere I start to miss smoking weed. I don’t know if I miss the action of smoking weed but I just miss it. Usually I just acknowledge it and move on with my day but I find the thoughts to be very annoying. I don’t want to reminisce about it at all anymore. I quit because I was tired of feeling like a prisoner. I guess maybe it could be considered a a withdrawal symptom but I just want to move on with life and put it behind me. Do you have any recommendations on how to stop reminiscing about it? I haven’t relapsed thank God, but I want to continue to reduce the chances of relapse happening. Thank you for all that you do, I really appreciate you for taking the time to make these videos.
I notice this comment was 4 months ago… how are you going now? I too have an issue with romanticising about weed. The addiction voice is a real strong one to overcome, I’m yet to conquer it… I hope you are doing well ❤🇦🇺
Great video. Do not give something that was a huge detriment to you any respect. Like a snakey ex or friend, tell it to f**k off and see itself out of your life.
My coworker offered a pen hit today at work. I held it in my hand and thought to myself “nope” and didn’t strike it. Just a few days ago, I was the one asking her if I could hit it. Not anymore
I have to stop beating myself up for failing. I’ve quit cigarettes and nic vapes. But weed has been so hard to quit. I am again on day one. If I can stop cigs then I should be able to do this. It’s just so sad that I’m on day one AGAIN.
I just beleive you are very dissmisive of the spiritual healing powers of weed. It helped me with PTSD caused by assault and abuse. I understand if you are just a deadbeat stoner. Weed was able to give me my life back.
im sorry i just have trouble relating to you because Weed isnt harming me directly but it seems like everyone around me wants to force me to change. Im just tired of having people up my buisness and constantly trying to fix me . Just because I smoke weed. I have a hard time relating to your points of weed being negative.
I really wish I could buy what you're selling here. I'm on day 7 of no smoke today and it really was better in every regard than this. I'd rather be high than anything else right now
I can contribute something here, Kitchen Safe, if you want to see an aspect of your addiction you can't otherwise. spend 60 bucks and toss your stash in there for 3 days and watch yourself, are considering smashing your way in? Are you obsessed with how much time is left before it opens? In this way we can get a better about your potential to moderate yourself.
One more extra this is not the end all be all and there are many ways up the mountain, I just wanted to share an insight into another method we might try to exercise control of ourselves. Sorry for the rambling response.
What are your thoughts on mushrooms? I’ve been addicted to most substances throughout my life and they have all been life consuming… but not mushrooms. They have helped more than I can describe and nothing about them has been addictive and I have an awful addiction problem.
I LOVE weed. I don't want to quit. On day 8 day but I don't want to stop completely. And this is okay because people drink alcohol all their life and don't quit. I maybe have chs but I'm taking a break and will be going back to weed soon. Not daily like i used to though.
Yo, so I've been having some extra income lately and have been going HARD w the bars n carts n flower again... The flower/carts don't worry me much currently, but the benzos scare tf outta me... I know I can die from the wds etc.... But like, what I'm getting at here is if I were to video my whole detox thing would any of you guys like watch if I go live when I can't sleep etc and wanna give up? Would anyone be willing to do that, also recommend any 24hr zoom mtgs that are good for people who've done the steps and know the program but are trying to come back around? Or just any good mtgs in general period - cuz even with 2-4 bars a day, two grams of concentrates, and pins and exercise etc all that crap.... Still am lucky to get 4 hrs of sleep.... I KNOW IK CAPABLE OF MORE AND AM FUCKING MYSELF OVER!!!!!
u will be fine buddy u have to do ALOT of benzos and short actong ones such as alprazxlm, kpins take even more. youll be fine g just stop sooner, (and altho i dont have seizures ofc thatr doesnt mean u wont )
Ya, I'm 36 and can eat 6 bars then go play v ball sorta guy - crazy high tolerance - not my first rodeo in the slightest -, bout to hop on a random aa/na MTG..... Hope your good man, you can't fuck w this shit -, I've got 4 sticks in my pockets lol so.....still sick AF here lol not dopesick (while there's these left)
I been addicted with other drugs. (Crack) and quit cold turkey Weed and Alcohol are a few of the things I’m not addicted to. I just smoke weed after work when I get into bed and watch tv.
weed is ok in moderation but thats for most things in life.there are far more risks starting hard drugs/prescription pills. i would suggest smoking biological weed from outside as its natural you can find. here in the netherlands its popular and cheaper than the fancy indoor weed with way to much thc. about vaping i can say its less popular as its uses more weed than a regular joint rolled with tobacco.
Yeah and these damn people with their “nicotine” or “opioid” addiction. Like come on! Since *I* never had withdrawals from them that means they aren’t bad, right? No, any withdrawal or addiction is valid. You are just very ignorant. Do some research buddy, it’ll do you some good.
@@DarkPanda558 weed addiction is not valid. Opioid and alcohol addiction is a real addiction. When you quit weed you might just be grumpy for a few days and maybe have trouble sleeping. You aren’t convulsing uncontrollably and puking your guts out while hallucinating.
@@leeh8845 it’s not just class a drugs. Alcohol withdrawal is worse than any illegal drug. It can kill you. Weed withdrawal worst case is you’re grumpy for a few weeks and have trouble sleeping.
i quit for a month and i took a edible today🤕 i thought bcuz im not smoking its not gonna be tht bad but honestly it feels worse. thc just makes me tired its overrated honestly. im probly gonna take like 5 months from no thc. im clean from vaping and porn tho, i was hooked at one point
