What really happens is a link to your store to click a further download link which asks to give email to subscribe to newsletter and receive pdf, have to confirm email and now I’m subscribed to your newsletter and still no pdf.. nice one 👍🏻🤥

​@@SamuelXProjects you're right

Actually fuck you for saying dope sick when talking about weed.

Would appreciate it if you would post your credentials "Doctor", since visiting your website came up with nothing.

F A C T S. I just had a mental health crisis 5 days ago when I quit. I couldn't calm myself down. Feeling so much better already and never want to put myself through that again.

Facts. I want to cry and it’s only day 1. I didn’t think I was sad.

True. Got put on Probo for a dui after years straight of smoking weed. I was able to go days without it in that time period so I did not expect it

​@@milanainvegas Get used to it, I feel like crying everyday and I quit weed it's been around 80 days.

damn.

thats the reason for the human going to drugs, avoid oneself...

I got tired of numbing myself I chose to be present with my emotions. Sure doesn't sound fun, but I'm ready to feel good without drugs.

realest quote i eva heard 💯💯

Weed makes y’all not feel feelings?

Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Yes he is. dr.sporessss

Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.

Can Dr. sporessss send to me in UK?

Absolutely, his offerings extend to global delivery, prioritizing complete confidentiality for individuals valuing their privacy.

Hey how are you now? I’m going through terrible chs currently and look to these comments for motivation

@@dgenerationbigestfan you got this bro it gets easier I can sleep way better now the first 3-4 weeks were the worst all I thought about was smoking cold sweats while sleeping couldn’t eat but now i sleep so good and I have dreams alsmot every night something I ain’t experience in 13!plus years my anxiety is going away and I feel way less depressed keep your head up better days are ahead I also watch so manny videos of RU-vid if people going thru what we’re going thru it was huge help knowing there’s so manny people like us

Damn 🎉 that's an inspiration. Decade in and I'm still on the fence

@@nikolasb8313 I miss smoking more then anything people around me still smoke and sometimes smelling it close by is the hardest bit the only version I ever knew of my self was a high me I need to see what would my life be without weed at least for a while good luck to you if you in this video is a good start

@@nikolasb8313dam

Don’t forget the supplements I mentioned at the end 😎

@@AddictionMindset You forgot the best supplement in the world to kick dopamine based addictions, L- Dopa in the form of a Mucuna Pruirens extract. It helped me quit a moderate THC and nicotine addiction quite easily. What is the very useful about Mucuna is that the body takes only as much L - Dopa to get your dopamine levels to baseline, when you are starting to have a withdrawl. When you notice that you get a "high" from the supplement, you know that your body already produces the baseline dopamine on its own, and it does not need L - Dopa from an outside source, so you can stop taking it.

imo cold showers are more of a fad, it ends with Adrenal fatigue

@@strelok5661 there not a fad ya dingbat

What if I already do these things before I quit weed

Keep going sis

Love this!!! Heck yes, thanks for all the support on the channel Sarah!

How do you feel?

I'm tryna be like u mah boi

Lol what a coincidence. Feels lot happier these days than 2-3 months ago.

Same here. I’m on day 66 and feeling so disconnected. Brain fog bad and just feel completely off at times. Weird feelings. It’s hard to describe. I really don’t even crave weed anymore. Was a bad ending between me and the drug and I was not getting any enjoyment from it. I just want to feel “normal” or better soon! Sleep has suffered as well. Not complete insomnia but horrible dreams that make no sense at all. I’m trying to stay strong for me and my family.

​@@joshuap1678 congratulations brother, keeep it up. Unfortunately feeling normal might be tricky since you've been propably escaping reality for some time. I would highly advise you to do these things: -Meditation (better sleep, living in the moment instead of thinking about future or past, calmness, focus and many other pros, it might be hard to develop this habit but it's wonderful when you start to see results and you can get this state of mind similar to being high) -Excercise (I would go with cardio since it's exhausting and can put you to sleep and i find it more satysfying than lifting weights. Runner's high is great. Achieving your goals in sport is great since you can cut off your 'logical' thinking that stops you from doing basically anything if you too attached to your thoughts. Sport is like a wisdom that comes from experience rather than a knowledge and fills you with drive to do shi* you don't actually enjoy) -Journaling/Song writing/Book writing/Reading (These are amazing tools to fight your brain fog, these can help your memory, imagination, conversational skills, focus, developing healthy habits etc.) -Socializing (It keeps you sane, you building up your empathy, conversational skills, memory, focus and it's the most important factor in terms of being happy with your life) -Logic/Memory games/Math (These are just crucial and saved me from destroying my brain and fatal brain fog) -Fixing your posture and vision (Yeah, it really matters) -Proper amount of sleep (It's pretty individual) -Healthy self talk -Get rid of social media or minimize time you spend on them (Being addicted to social media is horrible and draining. You can get anxious, sleep deprived, diagnosed with ADHD since you destroying your focus on a daily basis, lazy, antisocial, delusional etc.) -Understanding (Change comes with responsibility. At some point you've propably decided that weed addiction is destroying things you associate with a value higher than you when you smokin on that shi*. Maybe You were exhausted with observing life slipping through your fingers. Find your strength in weakness that was mocking you. You already know what procrastinating does to your life. Changes might seem difficult and unachievable but they are necesarry in terms of running from shi* you don't want to experience. Find your drive either it's a fear of losing or willingness to suceed, it doesn't really matter. It keeps you sane and gets things done. Brain fog is a consequence of smoking. You are the one responsible for either fixing that state or drowning in it. Small steps will guide you through your journey to feel normal like they did in the journey to feel numb and isolated from reality.)

2 months going on to 3 after smoking carts for 3+years i didnt know others also had health deterioration or able to get addicted im not interested in going back took my life back im keeping it

I believe some people don’t feel any withdrawal but I assume those people don’t smoke daily and haven’t been smoking for years. Anyone who says the symptoms are bs are lying to you and themselves lol

Yeah bro I’m with you I literally feel like maybe I’ve gotten schizophrenia or something. And I just don’t know if I’ll ever be able to use my brain the same again

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm on day 8 and still feeling quite miserable. My sleep is horrible

​@@RepublicOfWesternCanadaNOWI'm day 6. Do you have stomach aches? I do?

I’m on day 7 and i’m just now starting to feel normal again. The lack of sleep and inability to eat was awful but i’m really excited how much better i feel every day and i’m looking forward to how much i can accomplish in the future. Best decision of my life was quitting 💯

@@RepublicOfWesternCanadaNOWyou got this bro your not alone STAY STRONG MY BROTHER!

Wow, mind control. Maybe I should quit... Can you will others to do your bidding? Can you move objects by levitation? Alright! It’s been 7 hours; can I guess which card you are holding? F it, I’m gonna go pack a bowl.

That book is a wealth of knowledge 💪

I’ve also found that being on vyvanse for past 7 years has made quitting weed even more difficult. I’m currently not taking vyvanse nor weed

@@AddictionMindset I'm sure it is. LMAO, good luck on your grift. I'm have no doubt you've tapped into the lowest common denominator. You should feel proud and good about yourself.

I wish my dear dad stopped smoking cigarettes and weed, he also was smoking it since he was 16... last month he passed away at 62 from a heart attack from smoking, it clogs the arteries, explains why he had lower back and leg pain from it. He even tried his best to improve himself with the diet but it was too late.

@@Airmaster360 sorry to hear that brother, hope u can heal from your trauma. love and peace, stay strong

you know what they say.. if you’re going through hell, keep going!

Also handy to not be so finite about it , its a day at a time , then start again , also realise that you can "start your day again at any time !"

@@terrancejackson9118 dont try to help the morons

Yes!!!

@@AddictionMindset first week sober haven’t smoked or drank anything since. But I do get tired by 6 pm my body tells me to go to sleep but I cannot with toddlers. So I suck it up and just rest at night when they go to bed.

@@milo9351 i feel you on that brother. Hang in there

Already on my second week and I no longer even care for weed anymore. No longer interested or get cravings to smoke. That door closed already.

Good job brother. I’m currently 8 days free, days are getting better. Hope I’m where you’re at in 6 days, but we’ll deal with it as it comes! Keep it up

Awesome to read that, good on you friend. 👌🏻🙏🏻 About to quit myself, hopefully this time is the last time for me.

Keep it up .. well done

how does it go? I'v started 2 days ago.

day 3 here aswell even tho ur comment 1 month old. Keeeeeep going brother we not going back

Day 5, stay strong brothers

Heck yes!!!! That’s what’s up!

heck yes!

Be careful with hard workout on empty stomach.

@@andya7179 Nope. Our ancestors did the hardest workouts (hunting and killing large animals, butchering there bodies and lugging it back to camp) on empty stomachs.

Not hard at all

fyi them cold showers dont cleanse your skin...

​@@m.trobinson4720 do warm then go cold. That's actually the best way because you get to get rid of nasty oils and gunk and then close the pores back up.

I quit nicotine around two years ago, I was at 20 cigs a day. What really helped me where nicotine patches, can only recommend. It's not magically but I was at least able to sleep and could concentrate on all the haptic stuff I was missing (the smoke, the self-rolling of cigarettes, holding them etc.). Someone recommended them to me and I recommend them since…

I quit smoking nicotine easily. Weed is way harder for me to quit. Nicotine just makes me angry for a week or two, but when i quit weed im not even myself anymore. Cant even function without it

Yea people don't understand that big pharma wants you on all kinds of meds but those are ok because its "MEDICINE" lol! meanwhile these people who were smoking weed were heavily addicted to wheat/dairy/refined sugars/energy drinks/coffee you name it all that loaded carbs and garbage making you feel lazy sleepy and dumb/fogged out. it's amazing how stupid people can be to not figure this out . Oh no lets just blame weed its gotta be the problem LOL this channel/video is a joke.

Did you ever watch this video? Did you seriously come here to belittle individuals struggling with addiction just because YOU aren't? The "what-about-me" effect

It helps me too. Stay strong and I hope you are living well.

@@lydiacarbone7698maybe just an alternative perspective? Dont see how he is belittling anyone lol

Why do you feel the need to defend yourself in response to this video? If it's not for you there's no need to comment

I would encourage you take the leap one day and create your own 💪🙏

heck yes to seven months

How does this energy feels like compared to previous state of mind ?

@@chucknorris777 its like being on caffein 24/24. I know Im someone with a lot of enery normaly & by quitting weed I realised that I got so much more than I tought

Well then obviously you were plowing the munchies hard and just being lazy LOL sativa strains give you energy and various different benefits. Get educated before you slam WEED as the problem .

@@cbiz6959 bro I’ve been smoking weed since I was 15 yo Im 28. I still smoke now & then. But thinking you got more energy while smoking than being sober is false. Don’t lie to yourself.. Anyway I still love weed but now I’ve never been that productive. Hope the best for you.

@@cbiz6959 go and smoke come copium

congrats for almost a month!! that''s huge!

@@chezzrocky thank you so much! Communities such as this one helped me out a ton, means a lot.

@@soovie2019 I hope you are nearly 6 months in now....how goes it?

@@OliHandy2008 I've unfortunately relapsed back in October, times were tough. Thankfully I had the will to try again and am now just over two months sober again. Thx for the check-in!

@@soovie2019 you're still a month a head of me despite the relapse...I'm down for life on this though I think. I hope.

Good luck you got this!

@@RR-ob8ze thank you my friend 3 weeks this Wednesday can’t see me going back to it now

@@johnford9477 how u doing wtw

Good luck man.

@@chamman9001 thanks bud am still off it just noticed your message

I’m proud of u brother

Nicotine withdrawl is a lot worse than thc.

i think too quitting weed was easier for me than quitting nicotine@@colincampbell4261

Ive quit cocaine, ecstacy, nicotine, marijuana, as after 20 years of use.

I highly recommend psychological literature. Easy way to quit smoking by Allen Carr is a great book to make sense of the deceptions and to ultimately not have the psychical craving you're talking about.

Your still addicted?? You should follow your sown device

While he did say fasting can be helpful, we’re all different and I don’t think a sense of starving yourself would be beneficial for you, as you are psychologically as well as physically learning to cope with life without the dopamine hit. Something along the lines of say not eating past 8 pm, and then eat again at 11 am, sounds reasonable! I would say be kind to yourself, and guide yourself toward more peace and fulfillment…. (as he was referring to towards the end of the video), by putting efforts into doing more things that will bring more satisfaction and joy in life. Like working on a project you’ve always wanted to do, or joining a club or a group you might find interesting, and may also help to build some new healthy connections. Best regards!

Wow good for you! I have two friends who ODed and passed away on heroin/fet. I just to love to hear shit like this thats awesome.

Sorry I’m not an expert, but weed, especially with high THC messes with our sense of reality and our perceptions. I think derealization is an effect of weed for everyone, but I think it would be more pronounced in someone with a lot of stress, and a lot of conflicts in their life. The best thing to do is to begin the recovery process by abstaining, and begin doing relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga, and gentle exercise like light jogging, and get plenty of rest. And follow advice given in this video. Also join groups that can provide some support, or see if you can check in with a friend or family member every day to talk about what you’re going through, concerns you have and progress you’re making. Even posting here in the comments is helpful. Best to you ! Be patient with yourself and you will overcome any challenges.

Lmaoo I tired quitting nic and thought shrooms would help and then I thought I had died and my Freinds had to convince me I wasn’t and I relapsed that night

I’m currently 3 days sober but don’t take shrooms to quit other substances in my opinion

@@thomasroma562 legit lol @ this lol. Love it

Shrooms are great until you have a terrible trip they're not a joke be carful seen / heard of lots of ppl who struggle after use

​@thomasroma562 let's quit drugs by taking another drug 😂

Everyone's addicted to something. Please stop reaching. Well done for watching your friends suffer but not helping.❤

i get u i’m a addict too i’m trying to quit i just have too, smoking just really makes me feel sick kinda awful an that’s whts been alarming me to stop, but then i’m like ok it makes me feel terrible quite the opposite of good, why can’t i stop, i realized it’s repetition over an over but i won’t give up stopping, good luck to u🎉

No such thing as weed addiction your wanting weed is the issue stop smoking and immediately get into working out even power walking sweat every day 2 3 4 x ifosible drink fluids eat healthy and go cold turkey 2 weeks in y9u will be OK apart from the nightmares whitch are a amazing experience in them selves

its officially rated as an addiction and people get addicted for various reasons so saying there is no weed addiction is just intolerant and wrong. also i think it wont help somebody to be told, that all your problems are basically bullshit and you just have to get your lazy ass up and do something, it will much more further add to the feelings of guilt and deficiency and can worsen the consume. i always get the feeling that people who are spreading this bs that you are, are just a bunch of narcissists who want to look down on other people.

i have not successfully quit* I tell myself everyday, and still fail. It’s a blow to my confidence, but I know with God I can prevail. :)

Long reply, hope it helps! I'm 3 weeks clean off thc after failing countless times to quit. Was like you, thinking about quitting everyday and watching videos on how to quit so you're already on the right path, which is good. This video an his others, plus other peoples videos on RU-vid have good advice\motivation. Also what really helped me was riding my bike, for cardio an fresh air, and pushups, aswell as other light exercises(start slowly do as many as you can without really straining yourself at first). You're gonna feel edgy an crappy the first few days so the exercise helps take the edge off. Also controlling my thoughts helped, whenever craving thoughts popped into my head I refused to dwell on them, by thinking of something else til they passed, or I would distract myself thru reading, positive or interesting videos, videogames, bike riding, or meditation (close your eyes in a comfortable position and just focus on your breathing when your mind wanders focus back on your breathing, big slow breathes in and out. Another type of meditation, which Jesus and Paul mentioned is finding a Scripture you like and focusing deeply on it. Jesus would also go pray by himself. Scripture I always liked was 'Be still and know that I am God') I had a short attention span at first so I juggled between the above distraction a lot. I substituted coffee with black tea. Supplements helped a lot too, they're cheap, can find on Amazon or vitamin shop or some grocery stores. L-theanine is calming, it comes in gummies or capsules( it comes from green or black tea), chamomile tea, passion flower tea or capsules, lemon balm capsules, all these are calming and help. Write a list of everything I mentioned in this reply. You will heal and eventually you'll find happiness in the things you do in life not the things you consume. You got this, be strong, much Love!

When it comes to thc u dont to quit just find balance..not smokin daily and to often,also.right strain of weed that works for you is important..God invented weed for a reason but people overdo anythin that feels good and eventualy fuck up balance and become dependant on the substance..

@@junglebunny1000 with your 'self' you can prevail.

Try some nac

Yes but the thing is weed can deplete your dopamine so completely that you’re at absolute rock bottom, where you’re not producing ANY, only a slight amount for a brief period with use. Believe me, it’s not a pretty place to be. It’s not so much the addictiveness of the drug as it is the depletion of dopamine that makes you desperate for any kind of relief from that hellish feeling. It puts you in an extreme vicious cycle-making it very hard to break out of, even to have the hope of breaking out of! Actually, nicotine is a whole different animal from weed in my opinion. Again, long-term regular use of weed literally depletes your dopamine completely, and that is a hell in itself. I don’t think nicotine/cigarettes come even close to doing that, no matter how many you smoke! However, it wrecks your lungs and is highly addictive!

You can if you actually put your mind up to it.

Look at it as your enemy. I had to see it that way

follow the free pdf. it's Gold

30 years took me a few min to make that decision first week was the hardest now iam 3 months in I feel fine however I can never touch another joint because i would fall quickly back into my old ways. a addict Iam and addict I will all ways be.

I don’t speak on it But I’m going to have a video soon with a guest speaker on the topic

But all of these things still apply

hoping Dr Frank will response to your message.

I’d stay away from any substance to chill you out. Do it through walking, exercise, meditation, journaling. You don’t want to dependent on any substance. Also, even some broad spectrum CBD has thc in it. I tried CBD for a while and I eventually gave back into smoking weed. Just give it all up.

Usually people that are self medicating develop a dependency. For example I have anxiety and c-ptsd and have used it to cope with that. Now I can barely cope without it. Like can't leave my room or look at people because of the whirlwind of unpredictable emotions.

@@_anshin_anshin that makes sense

Well anythin that u use or do daily for extended period wll create some sort of emotional dependency..if u smoke strong indica strains that gives that body high than also physical dependency and withdrawals could happen..if u have healthy relationship with weed,with healthy on/off cycles and mostly sativa strains u wont have any issues..common sense..also people are smokin random strains mostly but every person should know whats the best for him/her...strain,dosage,frequency..thats how u approach to herb

I don't think it's the cannibis that is necessarily the dopamine hit. I can Imagine for most people (including myself before I quit) it's the actual act of smoking it rather than its effects... I hated the feeling of being stone but love taking bong hit. It's hard to explain but I wouldnt feel, let's say as satisfied if I ate a edible apposed to smoking it

It’s a myth that marijuana isn’t physically addictive. I get headaches, anxiety, lack of sleep, heart palpitations and irritability when I quit after a bout of heavy smoking.

I can tell you from my own personal experience over several decades that Thc can be very addictive. Thc consumption ruined my life. I was unable to stop despite trying. It put me in the hospital with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome 6 times over 4 years. I was unable to function, spent enough money to buy a house and wasn’t able to stop until I went to rehab and got serious about a 12 step program. Please stop spreading misinformation based on neurochemistry. Though what you say is partly factual, there are millions of people with real life cannabis a thc addiction which prove otherwise. Nothing you say about the neurochemistry can negate the reality of addiction. Your bias is leading you to draw conclusions that have no basis in the real world.

@@silkysh1tthat’s because you have mental health problems, it not the weed

@@powerlevel9001that’s because you smoke bad weed. Smoke the hood shit and you will be ok

That is why idk why he is using DOPE SICK in bold letters as click bait when he knows damn right thats an opiate term. Or he doesn't because he knows little to nothing about addiction

Maybe he’s making a play on words - dopamine - dope. Just my guess

how is the sugar thingy going? i think i have serious addiction to that shit and is the most dangerous of all

Your body is reacting that way because your blood sugar is super low since you are used to eating sugar

@@salviad5x afaik it doesn't create physical dependecies but mental ones.

Are you dating anybody

It’s a hard situation but you are nineteen and can turn this around without too much disruption to your life. It is important to address the cannabis dependence but it could be beneficial to focus on improving the areas of your life you are able to. I know it’s more difficult than just saying it but exercise, meditate, socialise (if possible), build a hobby or interest. Try accept your current position and make a start somewhere, anywhere,no matter how small. One daily morning habit of walking can be a foundation, eventually progress it into a run. Remember consistency in good habits is more important than effort applied. If you have to smoke cannabis to stabilise mental health then the journey can be more difficult (I am currently in this position at 31). Try cut down to as little as you can manage before attempting to stop. I used to wake up at 4am and smoke but then I stopped that and went to 9am, then 9:30 then 10 etc. Routines are your best friend when you are battling mental illness and substance dependency. Build a solid morning routine and do it every day. Ps Take it easy on yourself if you slip back. I have slipped back 100s of times after getting to a strong position, it happens. Just keep building discipline,p and you ll get there, good luck

Take up jogging

Reading your comment I would just say that you need to really understand that every single time you go back to it you’re literally creating that dark black hole for yourself. You are essentially creating the deep depression that comes from your brain not being able to create dopamine anymore. It really really sucks!! I would say when you just get so sick of that feeling and you don’t want to have it anymore- you’ll decide the hit that is keeping you there is just not worth it. It’s really just coming to the realization that you’re going to stick with the recovery process because every day that you abstain… you’re a step closer to getting your dopamine levels normalized, and in turn the dark thoughts will start to lift!! :) It may sound super simplistic, but that really is the way!!

Read spiritual books. Anything that catches your eye on a bookshelf,whether a library or a shop. It's hard to concentrate. If you can't read use Internet.

Honestly if u wake up and have cravings to anything just go I'm not a pussy my brain and body are u be surprised how annoyed and petty u get at cravings to not do them
