What's good everybody got a great message from Liz out of Mississippi (spelled m, i, crooked-letter-crooked-letter i, crooked-letter crooked-letter i, humpback humpback i). Headed to Wim Hof to try and breathe those demons away then it's directly to bed! Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Lots of love, shoot me a message at quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com if you'd like to share your story. Hers came at a perfect time tonight, we're all in this together!

Coming to grips with a new "self" and seeking other resources for staying on track. Anyone have experience with marijuana anonymous? Shoot me an email at quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com. There is a meeting about 105 min from me but that's a haul for a work night...

Podcast announcement and 3 messages from listeners sharing their stories. Would love to hear your symptoms of withdrawal and what you noticed as your health started to improve. My bowl broke a few weeks ago... Inside was a freakish mass of black, ash-filled resin packed so full that only the smallest needle-sized hole was permitting air to go from bowl to stem. . Wtf must my lungs look like???

Yeah buddy! I'm terrified of the weekend but I was able to get up here and podcast rather than burn, now headed to do some SMR before bed. Lots of reflecting lately, it's crazy how the mind changes after a few days without bud.

Some good scripture this evening though! Got my meditation in, did some Wim Hof at school while the kids were in gym, and did an additional core session when I got home. Gotta stay busy!

And I do a lousy job of explaining it courtesy of melting my brain on Sunday but Saturday night was the eye-opener for me. I got to see both ends of the spectrum, as well as experience a feeling of fear/powerlessness during a thunderstorm. My friend overdosed on an edible, a friend who otherwise was not a big cannabis user until he met me. Then I met a 20 y/o tow truck driver who said that job saved his life because he was smoking weed all the time and was headed nowhere, now he is a straight th...

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 3 days is better than no days! Should be a great day at work tomorrow I always look forward to the mental clarity and improved speech function. Will be putting in my hour of meditation this evening before bed so that's different, but couple that with my hour at 4am tomorrow and I should be in a really great spot. I feel like my life has more direction than it used to and it's helped me stick to my guns, but perhaps what has helped the most is adding as many healthy ...

Staying busy is definitely the key to quitting dope! I had literally 3 minutes of wait time yesterday, sooooo close to going out the door, and I took a poke. Dang it!!! Back on track today, got a game plan for tomorrow.

A while back someone wrote in to me that they had been clean for a full year and staying distracted/busy was their key to staying clean. It's so wild too because there is ALWAYS something to do. Shave, tidy up the bedroom, pack lunch for the next day, etc. I was getting lost in my phone, avoiding meditating and avoiding some drama with the wife and new I needed to snap out of it. Came in to the second bedroom for some scripture, checked my email inbox, saw a message, and said I gotta do this. An...

It's the day before the stoner national holiday! Had time this morning to podcast since yesterday was a big lift day, today at the gym will be yoga and back PT. Trying to gain more self-control via meditation, did 2 hours on Sunday, 2 hours Monday, and an hour this morning. 1 session in the morning from 4am-5am, and 1 session in the evening ~8:15pm - 9:15pm. Shoot me an email quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com with a story of something good or bad related to weed and how it's impacting your life...

Peter and Solomon have more wisdom and strength than I do you guys, hopefully their story and wisdom help keep you straight. It's been a struggle for me, cracked on Friday night after getting super drunk (I drink about once every 3 months) and then Saturday burned again after not meditating that morning. I'm headed into spring break now so I won't be dropping another episode until Monday April 18th.

Every day is another opportunity to grow. Jordan Peterson has said don't compare yourself to others, only to who you were yesterday. If you've had some positive experiences from quitting (even if you've since fallen off the horse) I'd love to hear them, shoot me an email at quittingmarijuanapodcast.@gmail.com.

Man the whole world is wild about weed! Family, friends.... So funny because the challenge of quitting just keeps getting harder, but I'll tell you what the benefits just keep rolling in. I'm more articulate, higher quality sleep (dreams haven't been nightmares any more tg) and day 4 or 5 based on my own experiences as well as what you listeners have sent me are the worst in terms of attitude/being grouchy. Thankfully it was day 3/4 this time around because today I was pretty chipper even withou...

I'm quitting marijuana because I want great things for myself and those I love. Temporary highs are simply a distraction and impediment. Sober self pre-weed couldn't possibly imagine/respect the idea of smoking a plant every day that retards your natural abilities. Mine are coming back, but with great power comes great responsibility (to self, in order to manage them).

Quitting marijuana ain't easy but you gotta seize the momentum when it is available! Sober Sunday, sober Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday.

Officially cleaned out!! No bowl, no flower, a couple edibles that I'm dumping on a friend tomorrow. Quitting marijuana is taking total concentration/dedication

Hi everyone, sure enough I was on cloud 9 kicking ass and taking names until a coworker whom I respect greatly and enjoy being around asked to hang out and burn. From there it was a downhill slide, then I lost out an amazing opportunity during the relapse and it hurt me bad. The slide took me deep enough to where I haven't dreamed in several days so I know it's been a total THC reset. :( Nothing to do but pick myself back up and get after it again. Devil's got me in his grip but the lord will pu...

Whether it's quitting weed or chasing dreams (which probably need you to stop smoking in order to be realized) sometimes you just need a pick-me-up or a kick in the ass. In this episode I share where I got some motivation today and what I'm moving towards. shoot me an email at quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com, would love to hear from you either a symptom of withdrawal or a positive effect from quitting, or even your whole story man we are all in this together.

Quitting weed is different for everyone, but for me it has been a rocky road. I'm finding that change is gradual, and the graph looks like the stock market. The long-term trend is positive, but the day-to-day is up and down. Getting out of bed at 4am is getting easier and easier, adding a new routine (meditating) has been spotty. Just gotta keep plugging away at it, trusting the process, and sooner or later it will pay off.

What's good everybody you workin' hard or hardly working? Average people produce average results and if you do what the average person is doing, you'll reap the average outcome.

WARNING: Some background noise in the beginning but it's gone by the 3min mark Hi everyone! My extended family is out of the blue selling my grandmother's farm RIGHT NOW and there is a lot of drama over it. I've always wanted to purchase it and live to be an old man there so last night I was up pretty late. Finally got one of Daria's audio messages edited and ready to go! It feels so good to know other people are going through this same battle and her life is such an adventure, I could listen to...

Made it through Monday clean, and now made it through Tuesday clean! Woo wooo, that's the pain train comin' through! Don't know why I'm so juiced up lol it's late maybe I've passed the tired stage and gone into the delirious. It's either that or the venison! Would love to hear from you, stories about dumb things you did while high or your reasons to quit or the symptoms/side effects you've experienced while trying to quit. Shoot me an email at quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com. Cheers!...
