29 days clean now. The worst was the 3 weeks of insomnia. Finally sleeping ok, and having dreams again. Had smoked for 22 years straight.

Finally made it to day 4 and I'm feeling better!! I recommend, #1 prayer, multivitamins, lots of water, boost nutritional drinks, light workouts and a SMALL amount of melatonin at night. I have been listening to the bible at night and have been sleeping great every night, praise Jesus Christ! The sweats and excruciating mental and physical pain I was in the last 4 days is finally starting to click down a few notches!! Woo hoo!!

6 days without weed. I almost relapse yesterday. Thank god i did not.

I’m on day 7 now! I’ve been irritable, can’t eat or SLEEP as much & having headaches. But I’m staying strong 🙏🏾💪🏾

March 20th one year sober and I don't miss it at all ...I feel good

Day 28 still suffering from insomnia stomach problems panic attacks mode swings hopefully this will pass soon in sha Allah.

It’s gonna be hard for me I’ve been smoking since I was a teenager now I’m 41 this is my first week without and it’s hell but I know it’s for the best gotta go through hell first before we reach heaven pray for me folks 😰

Day 3 of quitting after smoking every day for 25 years.. BP has gone way up. Have chills, anxiety, feel cold like symptoms.. I am going to do this. I want to be able to go out in public sober and have normal conversations again without feeling like I'm socially akward from the weed

Lots of encouraging words on here. 🙏 Haven’t seen anyone say this: THC stores in your fat. So when you exercises or go into ketosis, the THC is released into your bloodstream. I can feel it kick into a body high when I exercise. My loss of appetite has caused me to lose a lot of weight, and I didn’t have much to lose. The stomach cramps and joint and lower back pain are awful. So I’m not only fighting the cold turkey withdrawals, but the continual release of THC into my system from my fat stores. I also quit sugar at the same time, so I’m burning the THC laced fat in turbo mode. Ready to get this behind me! Never again!

Sun up to sun down 24/7 smoker for 13 years. Day 3 sober. 0 appetite. Feel full. Been drinking a lot of water but feel dehydrated. Insomnia. Nausea. Luckily I am ready to quit. I don’t really have urges to smoke because I don’t want it anymore. I’m ready for this.

I have smoked dabs all day every day for years. It started to make me feel sick or angry when I didnt have it. So I quit cold Turkey. This is the hardest thing I have gone threw in my life. I'm on day 4 and I feel like I'm dieing!!!.. i am experienceing all 10 things u mentioned. I'm not giving up!!!

This is what the internet was created for, sharing knowledge, bravo! Currently at the 9th day barely getting 5 hours of sleep, wish me luck. Headaches are very common aswell

Been smoking weed for over 20 years regularly every single day. Tried to quit on a couple of occasions but failed miserably! Giving all I got this time and you are the biggest support to get me thru! Bless u mate 😊

I quit smoking over a week ago after heavy use and I’d say most of my physiological symptoms have died down :) whenever I get cravings I always watch your videos and they bring me back down to earth. Thankyou for providing access to such useful information for us Dr Frank! 😁

For me it was the anxiety. I was having such severe panic attacks it sent my blood pressure through the roof. Like 179/112 with HR 120. I was so scared I went to the ER. They did all the cardiac tests, ekg, bloodwork, X-ray and everything came back good. As for the other symptoms I had/have them all as I’m on day four and feeling a bit better. Night sweats, insomnia, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, skin felt like it was crawling. Thank you for these videos as they have given me hope and has eased my anxiety.

Today is day one for me. Been smoking 14 years, finally decided to quit. Can’t say this isn’t hard

I’m on day 3 doc. I’m irritable but still feel better than when I was hitting cahrts everyday. Thanks for all the Help!!!! You are changing lives 💯 and to anyone in the comments doubting themselves, You’ve got this!!!!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Less than 40 hours clean on THC, Thank You for your channel. Extremely helpful. Was on for over 3 years. I'm struggling, but in a place where none of it's here and about to get rid of all the garbage in my place.

I think as a doctor you should shed light on some of the more obscure and hardcore physical effects of marijuana withdrawal such as skyrocketing blood pressure, debilitating panic attacks, and severe heart palpitations with or without activity. To me and so many others these issues are the most pertinent and scary to deal with yet most of the medical literature available barely mentions these issues.

I’ve been experiencing very strong heart palpitations as well as an inconsistent heart beat strength, waking up with very strange feelings in my chest obviously covered in sweat and riddled with anxiety. I’m one week sober and have been a (very) chronic addict for 15 years (age 16-30) smoking multiple times per day. Your videos are making me feel better though

Sup guys my name is chris, ive been stoned almost everyday for 2 almost 3 years and its time my journey with weed ends. In my time smoking i found passions and hobbys and creativity. with time you realize everything you can be or feel is there without weed . and then you notice how comfortably uncomfortable you become and then it becomes stressful relapsing when you do quit. Trust me your will power is still there but deep down you need to find what is true to you and if deep down your old self is calling for a quit then listen and listen hard. Think of the two different voices you here when you decide to smoke and ask yourself... Is old you deep down speaking or is it today you with a weed dependants? All thats left is to choose what part of you in which youll listen too. Trust me ive had my fair share of relapse for years now and im done. Im sick of falling back into what i dont want truly and pretending im okay with it. This. Is. The. Time. I change. 3 days in and when i sleep tonight it will be for. I know what is in store for me with withdrawal but now i choose to embrace it. To those who read this far thank you and i will reply with updates on this journey of mine.

With the help of your videos I haven’t smoked in 2 weeks and do not plan on smoking again. Thank you.

great tips bro! Sometimes irritability comes from being more aware of reality and things that actually makes us mad but we didn't notice before cause of numbness.. I'm 100days+ cannabis clean and I still fill some cravings, sometimes my mood goes down to depressive but another great tip you gave: I'm enjoying the process and all the struggle and I hope in the future I'll look back and be pround of myself.

Not getting high is not enough! In my experience if you just give up a vice an obsess over the symptoms that leads to relapse. Focus on things you want to do with your increased free time and the things you want to accomplish that you’re weren’t doing your best while focusing on thc.

I’m so so thankful i found your channel - there’s not much info out there on this! I’m going into day 3 of quitting. Thank you for confirming I’m not crazy and i don’t need to go to urgent care lol - the nausea is REAL. Thank you for this whole series. I appreciate you.

A video on a longer time horizon would be dope. Like what to expect for the first week, month, and even year. Thanks man

One good part about relapsing is I get to watch your vids a few times over , love the content even when I've heard it all before

I'm currently 6 days sober and the flue like symptoms are rough, my stomach is awful but I'm gonna stick this out because I know it will be worth it on the other side.

38 years on thc and two weeks sober 😔 had a tough time bit I'm getting there now ...Great help these videos ...

Video quality and lighting looks way better than before. Whatever you tweaked it worked

These videos are doing so much to make me feel not alone 🙏🏻

by far the best video i seen explaining these withdrawals thank you🙏🏽

This is like my 20th time trying to stay sober this year its kinda embarrassing how hard it is to quit weed for me.

Thank you for this, going through it rn and it sucks. But it lead me to this video and I needed to hear all of that. Smoked 4-5 joints a day for years something finally snapped in me and I got worried about my health so I quit cold turkey. Thanks for the help you may have saved a life.

I would get a headache so bad it would make me puke. Took me by surprise the first time it happened. Made a bunch of excuses, couldnt believe that that could be from My Precious. But then it happened at every attempt to quit or take a break. Night sweats as well. This is a great channel, direct and to the point real talk.

Some things I feel that helped me with insomnia was avoiding eating anything with sugar at night, making sure to go outside and get some sun light for your cercadia rhythm , and meditation are all things that helped me through my own insomnia. Also sleeping at a lower temperature of 60-68 F. Meditation is great for when your feeling down or “cloudy”. There’s some great habit changing/addiction focused guided meditations if you just give RU-vid a search. If I can do it so can you ✨

And I really want to say thank you so much to this guy who puts in so much effort and motivation to inspire people and change their negative ways to positivity. I love you bro

I have been a cannabis user for 13 years. I have CPTSD, BPD, IBS, GERD, SEVERE ANXIETY, Chiari malformation, and degenerative disc disease. (Possibly pcos) I’m on day 6. No appetite, anxiety is pretty bad, heart races quite a bit, and the nausea sucks ass. Also sweating quite a lot. Pretty sure I’m malnourished, been trying to drink tons of water, and shakes with added multivitamins and electrolyte drinks to replace anything I’ve lost. I’ve experienced quite a bit of weight loss and the insomnia sucks but was able to sleep 6 hours last night. I have so much hope that quitting will help me live a higher quality life. I have been using CBD ONLY just because my anxiety has been so extreme. It helps a bit. Also going to get some magnesium today. For the women out there, I started pmsing and that exaggerated a lot of my w symptoms so just a heads up! Take extra special care ladies❤ Stay strong guys. For me, this is harder than quitting nicotine but I’m staying strong. 💪🏽 we got this.

Thank you for a wonderful and most informative video.. 3 weeks in.. I see the light guys… and it’s Beautiful. KCB. UK🇬🇧🙂

i’m on day 18 without THC. Oh man, the withdrawal symptoms are awful, body aches, fatigue, tightness in the chest. My blood pressure soared yesterday and the general flue-like symptoms scared me so much that i went to the ER. I had a feeling it was weed detox but i wanted to be sure it wasn’t anything else. Doctors didn’t find anything wrong physically. That confirmed to me it was weed withdrawal. Thank you Dr Frank for this wonderful channel!

One additional symptom that I am experiencing aside from the rest mentioned is restlessness/pressure in my chest. Going through CWS from highly concentrated edibles

You most definitely - been there, done that!!! I second all the side effects of THC withdrawal. I wish I could afford your program. Hopefully soon!

Love your videos Doc, please keep them coming. It has really help me get through the withdrawal process. The symptoms have been a pain, I've just stopped cold turkey... Thank you

Here’s one I am not able to find information on, my menstrual cycle is out of whack. I’ve always had a consistent cycle but it showed up a week early when I first quit, and now I’m dealing with extended bleeding. Any other women experiencing this??? I know it has to with the estrogenic effects of cannabis, but I can’t find any specific details. I’m five weeks clean from cannabis today. I’ve used for 20 years, except for my three pregnancies. I really appreciate these videos, they’ve helped me get this far in my release of cannabis. Thank you!!

The only symptom I get is the sweating. I wake up soaking wet during the night, just switch sides and turn the blanket around 180°. Right back to sleep!

It’s extremely difficult to do, especially if you haven’t made the choice to quit and have to quit due to financial reasons or being unable to get any…. This makes it worse because you don’t have the mindset to quit so starting from a weaker place. I’ve had to tell myself I’m choosing to quit instead so I’ve got some strength in my mind behind not having any. Never felt so ill this is awful 😞 feel like I’m crawling in my own skin …. Ugh can’t wait for this to pass. Good luck to everyone and sending love ❤️

This is my second time quitting weed. it’s easier than the last time but the sweating is off the charts. Like I’m disgustingly sweaty. Thank god I’m doing this in spring and not summer. A new odd symptom is muscle ache and weakness. I’ve been eating baked potatoes. It’s been easy for my body to digest. Simple to make, plain, cheap, and healthy. Thank you for the video!

The night sweats are most definitely #1 for me, it's brutal, like waking up in a pool.

Im on day 6 tomorrow, day 2 throwing up stomach issues, sweats are incredibly and haven't seemed to eased at this point. The first day was bad with the sleeping issues waking up every hour, after this thou meditation really helped me to calm my mind and get me to sleep. Moods are not great ither but I have no desire to go back to it, im 39 now I started smoking when I was 13 years old, have quit in the past the weed is so much stronger these days . Good luck all stay strong I know I will. Im doing for my children and my own health.. its no joke this withdrawing xx

Dr Frank is a God send....!!!

You left out the insanely vivid dreams that seem to be quite common! I'm an addict of over 15 years and have tried quitting a handful of times for various reasons. I finally had enough and am done with it, being middle-aged and extremely unsatisfied with where I am in life. I'm 30 days out (longest span ever), and I quite enjoy the nightly excursions, though some have been intense. Also been taking mugwort for insomnia recently, and that definitely ramped them up a bit to say the least. Lucid dreams out the ass.

Ur the man bro, keep motivating and bringing awareness to the people. Feel like I may have chs due to the symptoms so I’m done with the stoner life. Peace

Thank you for this. Was a heavy smoker for 4 years, I quit about a month ago and I’ve been sweating like crazy. I normally am always hot, but not to a point where I sweat like crazy. I hate it, sleeping with my girlfriend waking up in the middle of the night sweating for no reason, walking 2 minutes sweating like crazy.. now I know why and I’ll just have to be patient.

Is fatigue another symptom ?I been feeling extremely fatigue with brain fog

Sir, you have no idea how helpful this video was for me. More advice on how to combat severe diarrhea would be helpful tho.

its only when u try to stop smoking for a measured period you realise you have an addiction = dependency. i wanted to stop today but realised i have exams coming in week so i couldnt handle the withdrawal symptoms and exam preasure.meanwhile its food for thought . thanx for this channel

Currently struggling with Post-COVID, A productive cough and THC Withdrawals, its been terrifying because not even Ambien is knocking me out! Hoping to make it through and come out even better.

On day 13, anxiety ramped up over the last 3 days. Had a panic attack last Friday, didn’t go to hospital and was able to calm myself down after 45 mins. Thought I was having a heart attack! After 3 days since then I am very thankful the anxiety is lowering. Still have some time when my heart races and I get scared. But something that has helped is talking to my parents and brothers! Keeps my mind off of the restlessness. Thank you again for your help with everything Dr.!

Insomnia, fatigue , bad depression. Trying to hang in there . Day 9

No one is responding to the “how are you doing now” questions under these testimonies 😩. I hope everyone stayed strong on their journey !!

I stopped smoking when my dog passed away. He was my everything 😢, I realized that my emotions and Anxiety were way too strong to handle on weed. I decided to deal with my emotion sober. First thing I did I adopted another dog to help me deal with my grief. I had week of incredible Anxiety, Insomnia, I was taking showers 3-4 times a day and changing my clothes 3-4 times a day but it was easier to go through becasue I have this little puppy I have to take care of. Now I am a week clean and my Anxiety is so much lower, I started eating and getting hungry, and I wanna sleep literally all the time without any sleep medications. Sometimes we need a help with our emotions to not need weed. It’s goes easier now, I feel more alive without weed. Next thing I will do is therapy. I am sad that I Lost my baby but he helped me overcome my weed adiction. I had this huge need to deal with it sober. Good luck to all of you guys 💖

Going on my 3rd week of complete abstinence. Going through Insomia, lost of appetite and vomiting is not fun at all. Intent of beating this with all the support our here. I look forward to the day when I am normal again. Thank you all.

I honestly feel like you are personally talking to me I don't know you but I love you and love what you are doing

i just stopped using it and didn’t know what was going on and i just tought i was going crazy now i feel better knowing it s normal thanks man 🙏🏼

Im at day 2 of quitting weed and tobaco, for now the hardest are the cravings after eating , when watching tv, or before sleep , good luck to everyone on the journey

Day 7. This is such a humbling experience. Hoping it ramps down soon.🙏

This video has been a great help. Thank you.

Excellent videos. Thank you so much. Spot on.

Thanks doctor for the helpful information

day 4 having crazy dreams

We got this guys 💪💪💪

Thank you for posting this video

Your vids are helping, I’m on day 19, the mood changes & irritability is where I’m at right now. I’ve been lashing out i don’t like this stage. I’m going to keep taking it one day at a time.

I am going through all the symptoms on day 5 I been crying my head spinning hot n cold sweating insomnia body aches nausea this is the worst I have ever felt I quit 3 other times but this time is a bit much i pray I never relapse again

Quitting any substance addiction is extremely difficult, so don't let anybody tell you that quitting cannabinoids is or should be easy. Any addiction can ruin your life from marijuana to gambling to heroin, it's the mindset, not the specific substance. I quit heroin and crystal meth five years ago and I was an absolute mess when I was using. I remember that I just wanted to rip my hair out and scream during the peak of the withdrawals, but I pushed through and made it out stronger than ever. Make sure you tell someone that you trust or love because it is much easier when you have someone that you can lean on. If I can do it, then you can do it! I promise that it gets better, just hang in there. Take it one day at a time, even one hour or one minute at a time if you have to. You got this!

Nice to see Vincent Cassel trying to help people with their addictions.

I’ve been smoking daily for over 40 years, with a few little breaks in between when I’ve previously attempted to stop. So far, day 3, and I haven’t had insomnia, although I did take a sleeping pill the first night. I have had/have got the sweats and a super high body temperature ~ I can cope with this. Unusually, I haven’t got any cravings this time, which I think is because my mind set is different this time. I quit heroin years ago and even though I still get cravings for it now and again, no matter how strong those cravings are, I have never relapsed. So this time with the weed, because I’m deadly serious about quitting, I’ve equated weed with heroin, so I know I can never smoke it again, and surprisingly, when I’m triggered to think of rolling a joint, because I’m sitting down with a coffee or something, it’s like I see the thought and because I pay no attention to it, it’s like it just disappears and I don’t think of it again until the next trigger and not once have I thought (I don’t think 🤔) that I’d love a joint right now, so maybe the big shift in mindset has really helped with this. Previously, I used to think I wanted to quit but not completely, as in, I would think I wanted to quit to have a break but that one day I hoped I’d be able to maybe smoke the odd joint on a night time or maybe at weekends or whatever - 😳 - total utter BS - I’ve never smoked in moderation, never could and I know I never will be able to do that, so because I can no longer fool myself with that thought, I thought it was time to put that fantasy to bed. I probably would have never thought about quitting if I was ever able to smoke that way, and surprisingly enough, it has really helped to think this way - I used to think that thinking of smoking now and again instead of thinking I was quitting completely, forever, was helpful, but it turns out it wasn’t. The anger/frustration has also been very mild this time, almost unnoticeable; however, I am experiencing a lot of emotions, which I have to be careful not to put sad stories to, such as, my family never visits me or nobody loves me or cares about me etc etc - these thoughts/stories aren’t true and I know that if I get into them and start believing them, they’ll spiral out of control and before I know it, I’ll be sat smoking again wondering wtf happened 😭😭😭 not this time, ya girl’s gonna beat this 🤩 💪🏽 so I’m batting all those super sad and totally untrue thoughts away and reminding myself that what I’m experiencing are just withdrawal symptoms and they will pass. Nausea ~ I couldn’t shake off this feeling of nausea yesterday and probably the day before and had no idea it was related to withdrawal symptoms. I didn’t know why I was feeling so sick, I thought that I had maybe not eaten enough or something, so this morning I made sure to have some breakfast and although I don’t feel as nauseous, I’m still not feeling too great in that department, but now that I know it’s another withdrawal symptom I don’t have to worry about it 👍🏽. I can’t ever remember this being a withdrawal symptoms on previous attempts at quitting but then again I’ve never been this serious about quitting so on my previous attempts I probably wasn’t paying much attention to what was happening to me. My appetite has disappeared but I’m not too worried about that, one because of the nausea and two, because I don’t mind dropping a few pounds in weight ☺️ and I’m going to use this opportunity to start thinking about improving my diet, which has got pretty crap and chaotic recently. And the boredom ~ well, I’m using this opportunity to get rid of my home broadband, so I’m not able to spend all my time on here; I’m going to shortly make the phone call to cancel that as my contract ends this month, and that way, without internet access, I will be forced, through boredom, to go and find something to do. I’ve actually got loads of stuff to do (which is why I’m quitting) but for now, I’m just going to do whatever interests me and then after I’m over the withdrawal symptoms I’ll start working on a plan to get on with the stuff I want to do that once completed, will be a big step towards me getting back to work. Good luck guys, hang in there, I wish you all the best and I wish you all a beautiful weed free life ~ whatever that’s gonna look like 🤷🏽‍♀️ ❤️ p.s. to the gentleman in the video ~ if you read this comment, I would just like to say that this is a great video and it’s the first ‘stop quitting weed’ video that has really helped, which I’m pleased about, because it means I don’t have to look any further which is great as my internet access will soon be stopped, so no more binge watching RU-vid videos for me ☺️ Thank you 🙏

I'm on day 5 man feel like crap.night sweats can't sleep lost my appetite have diarrhea God give me strength

I'm 5 days in and insomnia is not a problem. I am slepping like crazy. I have the exact opposite problem. Tired. 11 hours of sleep. Then a 3 hour nap. Today has been the worst day so far but I also oddly still feel better.

By far his most accurate video. He’s spot on about exercising too much. On top of doing a crazy workout I had 200mg caffeine and mannnnn did I feel like shit!!!!

Never tried it before but asking God for help actually made it easier , tried quitting a few times but never this easy

Heavy weed smoker for the last 20 years and have finally for the first time decided to give it up. My biggest question is, should you quit completely cold turkey or if you can bring it down from 10 joints a day to just 1, will that count towards my recovery or am I just fooling myself and actually giving in to my addiction? Thank you so much for your videos, I'm five days in now and I've found them to be so comforting that I am not alone. Please keep it up. I owe all of you guys my life.

Prayer keeps my mind out of worry, just pray pray and pray to good to remove all worry and unease from your mind🙏🏽

I generally avoided having weed too close to bed time, since weed NEVER made me sleep better, but ALWAYS made me sleep worse. I must be weird or something in that regard. I have no idea. I'm 9 days clean so far, and I am not having an insomnia issue at all. I'm actually sleeping better, and waking up a lot less groggy too. Is this something other people have experienced? Side note: I've quit caffeine a couple months back, rarely, if ever have alcohol. Stopping weed is in progress, then next on the addiction chopping block is the hardest of them all: sugar

Day 38 for me and waking each night is the worst symptom by far after decades of chronic daily use. I'm writing this at 3:30am! Had a lot of sweats but this has mostly subsided. Still a bit short tempered but getting better. I quit because I was having all these symptoms BEFORE I quit and I was fed up.

I'm on day 10 of quitting after 8 years of smoking regularly and wow. I find myself depressed. And what frustrates me worse is that literally everything in my life is going well. I don't have a reason to be depressed but i cry when i'm alone. I love my job but it takes a lot for me to get up and go to work every morning. I hate this feeling and i think it's an experience i will always remember when i consider going back to smoking weed.

Great advice!!

Reading a few chapters of a good book will knock you right out

Day 8. Insomnia got better. Thoughts are less invasive. But I sweat a lot during daytime. Changing my t shirt every 15min. As well as socks. Im dry during nighttime though. Had to go to the doctor yesterday (day 7) for insomnia. 7 days without real sleep breaks me.

Day 7. Through the crankiness. The night sweats and insomnia is tough but not any worse than a fever. How long does that last?

First week definitely sweating, anger and irritable. Had more fun being lost in my mind. Now I have to deal with reality the brain fog is real ppl. The feeling of what to do now…can become quite overwhelming! It’s even harder to quit when you really never had to pay for it in the first place. Stay strong!

you are saving my life!!!

Day One… Wish Me Luck

Day 53 now... it's just not possible for me to go back, so that's not really a risk for me. The thought of being stoned again, or smoking anything for that matter, with all the head fogginess that goes with it just completely freaks me out. I still seem to have a brain fog on day 53 though and this is a worry..good work on these therapy videos.

I’ve been smoking cannibis since I was 12 I’m now 28 and I’ve give up a week ago and feel amazing with hardley no symptoms I watched your videos on day 1 you gave me so much will power!! I will never go back ❤

Really related to the don’t over do physical activity. I am 5 days deep into recovery and did a 3 hour intense basketball workout expecting to go home feeling great but felt the opposite. Was hit with intense withdrawals of depression. Then went on to tipping a q ounce in the garden because I didn’t want it causing anymore harm to me and it also served as the moment I truly am done with marijuana

I had depersonalization for about a month after I quit thc (carts) and I'm only now starting to get back to normal. Immediately after I quit it felt like I was viewing my life as if I were a video game avatar. Nothing truly felt real. I didn't feel like myself. I lacked empathy. I couldn't get joy or satisfaction from anything. I'd be driving in my car and I felt myself disassociate in a way, it was as if my sense of touch went out the window like I was in a conscious sleep state. I drove correctly, but it was almost like I forgot I was driving. I had to invest all of my focus in-order to feel safe beings the wheel. Mind you I was sober. I also recall early on that other people's faces gave me the creeps, strange to say. As if I didn't know how to process the face of a stranger. It gave me anxiety. Normally I'm a very socially confident person, I enjoy talking to and getting to know most people. So that was another thing that scared me. It became a miserable existence. I also experienced relentless insomnia, angry outbursts, and I tended to isolate myself from friends and family. I initially started using weed frequently at the end of high school out of pure boredom and admittedly as a coping mechanism for the lack of human social interaction I was receiving. For a while I was scared I wouldn't return to normal for a long time...but now well after a month of quitting I see a light at the end of this lonely dark tunnel. If you're struggling to quit, just know these symptoms will go away. Sleep when your body allows. Don't stress if you can't sleep. I still consider closing your eyes and relaxing your body rest, its better than scrolling on your phone all night isn't it? And even then during the day if you feel tired, sleep. If weed is such a miracle substance it shouldn't have these effects on your body. We need to learn to be comfortable facing our emotions with a sober mind. I hope my dopamine levels restore themselves soon. I've noticed they've began to increase weeks after my last session. Somethings that helped me out alot: Staying away from social media. It made me feel angry about various political situations that I'm powerless in, and as a result it made my mind spiral in either a fit of anxiety or rage. Exploring various new hobbies. I recently began gardening and I've only now realized how much I love nature and the beauty that comes with it. Get out into the natural world. Go for a walk in a local park at low traffic times. The peace and solitude of the natural world helped me feel more connected to the earth and I feel helped me reconnect with my soul. Right now it's -40 outside so I can't exactly do that, but once spring comes I'm definitely starting back up, even when I'm months deep into sobriety. Try staying out if the house, and if you're early in your recovering process find activities that minimize human interaction. I found those tips worked for me very well. Just know that the sensations you feel aren't perminent. I know right know all might feel hopeless, but I'm telling you this as a friend practically pleading with you that it will get better. Allow your brain to heal. When we're feeling ill we can't expect to snap our fingers and make the fever go away. We simply rest and take care of our body so we can feel well again. Treat the quitting process the same, only this time your body is your brain. Right now I can proudly say Im starting to feel joy once again. Not in the big things but the small things. A cup of coffee, a nice sunset, what have you. My brain is still healing but I'm beginning to reap the results of my discipline and I know you can achieve the same.

Day 5 for me. 59 smoked past 12 years daily - went nuts after covid. Hit my wall with weed and it's time for a change. It is hard as it became part of my everyday life. I am focusing on taking back my life from my weed dispensaries - they have owned me!! I have turned it into a battle in my mind against the dispensary. I am better than weed, I am better than weed over and over. Feeling a bit shaky, sweats, weird cravings, and eye pressure like they are red and stoned but they look clear. also, have not spent money on weed in I month and I am loving my bank account. Was spending around 600+ month on medical weed. State of Maryalnd kindly gave me access to 36 grams of THC a month - rediculous! STAY STRONG 💪 💪

Thanks you’re videos help a lot!
