Week 1 Quitting Cannabis | First EVER Anxiety Attack | Chatting With Georgie Boy 

Love the honesty Georgie boy. You will come out of this hole twice the man you were before. Also, thanks for that birthday message mate, it made my day. Keep pushing bro.

Bro stick with it I had all the problems you did, struggled for 2 weeks then after that life is completely different. I've never been so motivated and clear minded. Best decision I made.

9 months clean after 10 years of addiction. And I feel better than I ever did in my life. Once you quit drugs, you will start to see the blue sky and all those clouds will disappear. Just stay strong and focus and don’t be scared. The time is now.

Smoked for 12 years consistently. I mean everyday, multiple times per day on the weekends... it's a very insidious addiction because it can take a long time to admit to yourself that something is wrong. Sober (from everything) now for 1.5 years and I have been able to start my own business while also working a 40+ hour job. I've been able to enjoy my family more and most importantly I know that I don't need a substance to feel fulfilled or like I'm missing out on something if I don't partake. Stick with it George. I went through the night sweats, the odd smelling sweat from the toxins leaving your body, anxiety, etc. After 3-4 months the physical withdrawals will subside but the mental battle persists. There are 1 million or more reasons that you can use to justify using (alcohol, weed, etc) but only 1 reason to stay sober. It has to be for you. I relapsed once before this 1.5 year stint but that's ok...life will get better and you will start finding joy in things that you currently might think " that would be more fun loaded"... lol

A lot of people talk about weed so highly and says it’s an absolute godsend… the reality is different. Respect.

loved the honesty man. stay with the process.

I quit when my misses was 12weeks pregnant with my little girl. Smoked for 15 years and always thought its just something people do because alot of my family smoked. If anyone wants to stop its all about routine, make a routine for each day and stick to it. Good luck to you brother

It only masks those feelings, hence the reasoning why you went 1,3 5 to full blown 7 days you have become dependent on it, find alternative choices. £400 Was a waste, a lot of people progress to "harder" drugs in order to feel better, my release was what you are doing now letting it out and talking about it, , I am older than you at 57, currently in hospital for the past 16 days having had blood clots in my Artery in my heart, causing damage to it, so now awaiting surgery, I was benching 120kg 18 days ago, life is about living George, sharing, kindness helps it makes you feel better, share your problems you will be surprised how many feel the same.

Stopped and started for years. Stopped about two months ago and now getting back in the gym big time. So much more energy and far less forgetful at work. It’s alright when your a teen but at some point we gotta be adult about it … been watching since the uni days love the vids george keep em coming 💪🏻

I've been going through a lot of the symptoms as well. Keep talking about it because there are other people out here going through it. For me its nice to know i'm not going through this alone. Swallowing issues and haven't been able to swallow solid foods without the feeling of it getting stuck. Extreme anxiety and really soft stool. Almost a week now off the weed. Keeep GOING!! It gets harder before it gets better

Best of luck George. Am just starting that path after 40 years smoking weed. 😊😊

My life has improved 10 times the amount since I have stopped smoking. Zero anxiety about anything and more focus, I enjoyed it too but it ruins your life without really noticing until you stop. Keep going mate

Been in your shoes and it took multiple attempts to get to the stage where I am now, where I haven't smoked in over 7 years. At the time before quitting I convinced myself just like many others; that smoking weed didn't affect me much on a social and professional perspective, but once you age you begin to release the reality of it and the reliance you have on it. If its not making you grow, let it go man. You'll feel better for it, mentally, physically and financially. Good luck.

I used to be a daily smoker and was in the cycle of having to smoke to sleep/feel better. Sober for over a year now and I’ll never go back. Quitting isn’t easy, it will take time but your sleep will be better without it. I got into daily meditation too when I quit and it helped, I would also recommend checking out the Wim hof method and Wim Hof’s breathing exercise. I do the breathing every morning and it’s done even more than meditation did for me. Has helped massively with anxiety, stress, mood etc. Never been happier/healthier. Best of luck George you’ve got this, you won’t look back!

Quitting weed was the best decision I ever made.

I smoked since I was 15 and I'm 32 now, i decided to stop and do no FAP 9 weeks ago and haven't looked back, best decision I've ever made, I've saved a shit load of money, set up a little side hustle, my sleep is better, my diet is better, my mindset is better, no brain fog, weed and fapping leads nowhere, glad you've realized this way sooner than I did. Props to you speaking out about it, I found speaking about it to friends, family even strangers helped massively. Don't suffer in silence you got this bro 👍🏻

Things 100% get better av been actually where u are few years back just ride it out bro 💪

big up George it takes a real man tk keep it real and express his thoughts and feelings especially on camera you're helping the people that are going through what you're going through so barely that in mind bro... bun the haters that dislike this video.. keep it 💯💯💯 bro 👊🏿

Was in a similar situation when graduating and coming home from uni during lockdown. was just like you, started off as once a week, then twice, then five times. When it came to moving home, I had to go completely cold turkey as my parents dont like me doing drugs, nor did I even know a contact in my home town. It is tough mate, but you are more then capable of achieving it. best of luck mate, hope you come out of this one strong

Georgey boy, Ive been smoking most days for the past 5 years, every time I've quit albeit not more than a week or so my biggest struggle has been sleep and appetite, I've lied to myself time and time again once I've quit that smoking again will fix it... and it does... until you binge smoke again, some people react differently, and the positives and negatives from consuming cannabis has altering affects depending on the individual.... Anyway the reason why Im making this effort is that we both are experiencing the same thing and after being two weeks clean (personally) for the first time in years I now feel normal again. The lesson that I've learnt from this is; anything consumed, is best served in moderation and to listen to your body rather than cave into the habit of the mind is something to think about. Im with you brother. All the best, from a long time viewer x

Keep going bro. Weed can be a a scary one if not dealt with early on. Good thing you’re aware of yourself.

Rate the honestly and been watching for years but seems like your a mess mate, bodybuilding/RU-vid shouldn’t be a priority with all these problems, 24 years of age aswell, hope you get the help you need

It's a sneaky one cause it isn't as obvious but it slowly fucks up your life in weird ways for years

I'm currently on day 7 of abstinence from a very powerful weed vaping habit. My anxiety is beginning to subside, and my appetite is returning. Yesterday, day 6, was the worst day for anxiety. Everyone's symptoms have their own timeline, but stick with it. It get's better.

Brother, everything you've said In this video. I'm 28 been doing it heavy since 2017 same as you like hundreds of pounds. I've recently decided to try and stop, but I've been so unwell, I've put it down to flu, I've done COVID tests I'm just not right I can't eat I'm feverish just awful been sick and usually I NEVER get ill like never since a kid 100% attendance at school not a single sick day at work. I searched this on RU-vid to see if this could be the reason I'm feeling this way and well, you've opened my eyes. All the best to you mate and thank you!

Hey man you're gonna be ok. Best thing I ever did was stopping weed, its going on 15 years since I quit and I've never turned back and trust me when I say my heads been in a better place. Headspace is pretty nifty I did that and silver cloud for a few months and definitely gathered tools to fix my anxiety.

Im a week in. Its been a breeze. The bird waa celebrating for you. 😂

Well done for taking this big step George! I’m sure I, like many others, will be here as best we can to support you. You’ve got this! 👊🏻

Keep it up man . Know what it’s like. It’s not physically addictive but definitely mentally addictive .

cant believe i have found these videos im currently in process of cutting down before quitting after 23yr of every day smoking . busting to come out the other side. thanks for the class content honesty

I've smoking it since I was 15yrs old and I'm now 32 and I'm struggling to stop smoking. I've suffered anxiety attack the past 1year. It's got to the point where I'm constantly stuck in my head and thought's to the point where I've tried to end my life. I grown up around it and I don't want that for me kids with what I seen when I was younger. It might just be a plant but once you smoked it day in day out for 15/16yrs it's really hard to just stop

Head up mate, seen your insta stories where you've been struggling. You got this, you're a strong lad, mentally and physically

I have huge respect for your honesty!

One thing I realised since quitting weed after smoking weed for so long is that weed is a temporary fix and one’s you listen to that inner voice and give in back in to the temptations you will go back to that vicious cycle again.

You got this George, I believe in you brother, can’t wait to see you return to proper health .

I was smoking daily for at least 4 years - bare in mind it would only be a joint in the evening after work and I would get everything I needed to do done before I would smoke, but my sleep became dependent on smoking that joint before bed. The brain fog the next day was too much and decided to stop in Jan. Best decision I made and it's fucking difficult to start with but it gets easier. Once you break that habit you won't look back mate. All the best with quitting bud.

Use melatonin for the insomnia, l-theanine helps with the anxiety, and working out will help with the lack of appetite as well as the others symptoms. Remember it doesn't last forever. You eventually adjust to not having it again. Oh yeah, and start a gratitude journal.

Been exactly a week. This is what bought me here

Respect George, glad to see you have taken action. Big step forward, you will look back at this vid in 6 months time and think thank fuck I made that choice.

Keep your head up George, we’re rooting for you mate

I started smoking at 15 then started everyday since i was 18/19 now I'm 29. Think it's time to gave it up tbh, it's hard but you got it bro 💪

not missed a daily smoke in over 10 years, wanted to quit for a couple years now, the struggle is unreal, hats off to you mate 💨

You got this George, I believe in you brother, can’t wait to see you return to proper health 🧡.

Super brave for being so open and honest. This will help so many people mate. Well done fella.

I’ve been sober for 3 days cuz I’m out (Not quitting ANY time soon) and it’s killing me. I just feel anger, unmotivated, restless, & bored with everything. And my diet is shit. I feel like I need it for real. I feel so happy, motivated, and fine with it. I workout and function wayyy better with weed. I’m just seeing this to hear someone talk about what I feel rn. I’m only 16 too so I feel like when I’m sober, all the teen hormones kick in even harder then when I’m not smoking. I’m just tired of having no patience and being mad 🤦‍♂️😂 I loved this video tho 💯

Just made a week without it today gotta keep going

Quitting was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but one of the best things. Good luck with it, you’ll benefit from it in so many ways.

Appreciate the transparency mate. You got this bro.

Keep at it man. The discomfort will get easier and meditation and just breath really helps. Hope you start getting exponentially better soon. Much love from a new bro, came from Joshs vid with you and I appreciate you George

Legend mate, really just spoke my mind and confirmed everything I was already going through, appreciate the brutal honesty. Also big ups ultra flex what a gym aha

That is what it has done to me. So I got off the ride. I'm 16 day out.

So hard to show when your at rock bottom but absolute respect to you bro road to a new Georgey boy is on 💪🏻

Ive smoked now for near 9 years. Ive given up twice before for periods of 10 to 12 months and ive got a long weekend to dry out. Huge anxiety about food is my main concern. That and being noticeably aggy at work because i can't have a smoke when i get home. It's not really rhe lack of the bud, but the way you act around it effacting your life is almost worse. But youre right its unsuspected and I need a new start. It took a while to find this video as I wanted a British viewpoint on it, im going to use this series as like a blueprint for the next few days

I smoked daily for over a decade now I’m clean over a decade you can do this g boy

Thanks for sharing this George and being honest, this video can help a lot of people 💪

I’ve found this vid the most helpful, im at the stage of not the same high and being groggy. I find myself making obvious silly mistakes. Appreciate you’re journey. 👍🏼

Let the dreams come back bro was crazy when I stopped every morning wake up and remember dreaming

Today makes a week for me. 25+ years daily, multiple times a day. I also quit kratom a month ago sooo.....i havent slept in over a month at this point lol. As soon as i started tonget over kratom withdrawal i quit cannabis and i just wanna smoke and go to sleep 😢 Staying strong though.

Listening to you was like someone describing my experience over the past 16 months since the lockdowns began. Started smoking once a week enjoyed the high and the sense of feeling relaxed on the sofa. Fast forward 8 months i was on full pay sick leave smoking a ounce every 3/4 days to block out everything and everyone, me and my sack of weed were inseparable. Sleeping routine was fucked going to bed at 5am waking up to take my kids to school still feeling the effects from the night before (not a proud moment) then coming home sleeping all day, rinse and repeat. The gyms being closed was hard and felt like a reasonable excuse at the time to take up smoking cannabis fuck knows why but you justify it in your own head. Misses kept on at me saying it's making you lazy, forgetful and moody. So, 11 weeks today I've been weed free and I wont sugar coat it the first 2 weeks were fucking horrendous. Brain feels 'clean', no anxiety no night sweats. Wish you all the best mate you got this 👍

Got to a point with me mate where I smoke 3 tokes off a joint and I have a panic attack . Most likely from abusing it in my younger years

Love the honesty mate, you’ve got this 👊

You did the good choice, G! Waiting to see you growing out of all the things you have against you these days big man!

Courage to you through that rough patch mate. You'll pull through!

Good on you Georgie Boy. Try cbd mate, no THC but is great for anxiety. Use a vape ,helps get over the lack of smoking and miles better for you...

Real talk - keep shining my brother.

Love the honesty mate

All the best mate

George this is why the people care. Your real you are real. Life is shit and you show us how you can take control every video. Preciate you

Experienced the same. Quit all shit and achieve natural high and be concious about what you have and think.

Respect George lad, all the best

Only a minute in and this is exactly me, high and really fucking anxious all the time 😭

The key is to have days off. Of course it's a lot easier said than done, but you have to have days off to prove to yourself that yours not addicted. I've been smoking for the past 5 years, on average I smoke 3-4 times a week. As soon as I smoke 3 days in a row,I have ar least a 1 day break. That's enough not to make me addicted, been in control of it. I literally buy 40 pound of weed and that lasts me 4-5 weeks, coz the beauty of this, it makes your weed last AGES.

wishing you the best. appreciate ya sharing.

Smoked it everyday for 30 yrs had no issue giving up night sweats and nightmares THATS IT

what else are you taking bro? This doesn't even sound right. Part of it is your young age. Don't tell yourself "I'm not gonna relapse'.... that is a death sentence. Say nothing, do what you gotta do. If you REALLY want to quit using a substance, you should be able to do it with the substance right in front of you. Can you imagine trying to quit cigs or alcohol? These things are everywhere and very easy to get. You don't distance yourself from them, you just make a strong decision and you stick with it, just like planning a career and a future. I don't think (from listening to you) that your problem is weed. Stomach ulcers tell me that you already had issues with stress and anxiety......over-thinking, etc

Good luck mate

After few days gets easier once u do a week u will feel like let self down if u have one good luck I stopped few years ago and was best thing I did

Day four for me and I feel like shit , I sleep like shit . Hope I feel better soon . There is more to life then sacking the couch with a bowl .

Well done mate keep it up!! same shit happened with me, don’t touch stuff no more.

Keep it moving George chin up bro ❤️

Good on you bud. It's not worth it. Dont look back!

Love this George

Bro been smoking everyday since 12 only had 2 periods of stopping for like 12 hours. Its that sad I can remember each day I have not had it for 12 hours. Working lates helps me alot am doing to 2 spliffs after shift a day. Maybe 3.5 at weekends

Respect your honesty bro, how did it go have you still quit?

Come on George, you got this man.

Good shit bro it can be good to get all that out ya system and opening up. We are here for you 👍🏼 4:09 I laughed at this dunno why

We got this bro

What’s your signs of having a stomach ulser? I think I have one. Been getting acid reflux for about 4 years now, I get acid reflux everyday prettt much now. The last year has been real bad for it. I also had a bad faze of stomach cramp last year.

Real as it gets 🙌👊

a true king

Hardest thing for me is the dreams when first coming off. But I have COVID right now so can I can’t even smell and have a really bad cough now smoked In a couple weeks.

Why do everybody says after 10-14 says your back to normal to me that is not true or am I really depressed i have no clue but for me the first 14 days are relatively easy and not too much mental struggle but after 14 -21 days the depression, anxiety, diarrhea, fatigue and sleeplessness are kicking in so intensly....am i depressed or will it go by? How long do i really have to spent sober to enjoy live a little more? I am in thailand (travel south east asia for 7 months) i shoud have the best time of my life but i can't really enjoy my life right now...

I smoke a few pipes of weed every night just on 2nd night without, It's fuckin shit. Everything aches and I'm miserable. Good luck dude you seem a decent dude.

your right is some cases mate, but not everyone struggles to control there usage. best of luck though lad

I’m starting my journey today been smoking 3.5 a day since roughly 2013 I really need to stop and Im hoping your video will keep me going thanks bro.

“Poor me poor me poor me “

Why can’t i quit though, I want to but still carry on buying it and smoking it, it’s like i want to quit but don’t want to I just can’t stop man I have a problem

Take lanzoprzol to line your stomach before eating.

Just me who used to smoke a tiny joint every night before bed, and just stopped with no issues
