Quitting Marijuana - podcast cover

Quitting Marijuana

I'm 32 years old and have been smoking pot for the last 10 years. The last 6 years or so I have been a daily smoker. Marijuana is my source of guilt/shame and I have tried to quit multiple times in the past. If you know that weed has held you back from meeting your potential, welcome to the club. This podcast is an attempt to help me find others who are on this journey and to help us all stay the path. **as of June 30 2022 I'm trying to find ways to support keeping the show online (12 bucks a month ya know).

THIRD Conversation about Quitting with Daria!!!

The one, the only... DARIA!!! She is a legend and it was amazing to finally connect in real time after all the back and forth we've had over the years. Just totally awesome, and of course when Zoom kicked us off we had to connect again and dig even deeper, sorry but it's off the record! In this episode the audio goes straight into the conversation, no intro/outro by me. Many, MANY thanks to Daria for helping to make this happen! Would love to talk to and learn from other listeners as well, shoot...

Attended a virtual MA meeting

This episode might not be for you

Totally upfront here, I spend the first half talking about the state of the world and some prepping. I have been following global affairs closely the past few months and even closer the last few weeks. It is getting serious and escalating rapidly. If you don't know what the World Economic Forum is, you should check that out. And if you don't already know the WEF, you are probably not the type of person who wants to listen to this chunk. However, we do have Pastor Steve at the end of this one!!! ...

Controlling what you allow in your brain controls your direction

Quitting marijuana is a journey AWAY from past behaviors generated by a weak, heavy mind that requires conscious and intentional action to develop a new mentality. What fires you up? Is it church, sports figures, philosophers? I (and the rest of us!) want more resources to choose from, more positivity to replace the trash that I was allowing into my head. We've got a global audience here and you could help tip the balance out for someone. Send me an email at quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com an...

LISTENER STORY: Allan

Multiple computer issues on this podcast combined with my own ineptitude. If you have a story to share, send it to quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com, I am just some random dude trying to do a good thing and your stories don't go any farther than this. Try to include 1 reason why you like smoking, 1 reason why you hate smoking, and maybe a quick bit on what propelled you to quit. Even better if you've been sober for a while, some of the ways you have stayed away from it! Much love everybody....

I say last episode, but have since changed my mind- read description.

Since dropping this episode I talked to my wife and had some deep thoughts. I'd like to keep this going but in a different format, one of motivational speaker. This topic moves me more than injury prevention or conservation, though I'd always believed I had to do those first to try and gain financial independence. I'm a better man now after the mistakes and poor decisions I've made, and I believe other's can benefit from my failures. For each future episode, I will read the next segment of the s...

Morning monologue, gets serious at the end as I share about two articles I read about teens who committed suicide after using high-potency concentrates. Sorry I am totally beat from open house tonight, did not include scripture or a quote. But I am still sober! Much love.

Brain fog lifting, shroom story

What's good everybody, I did NOT smoke last night which made the 04:00 wakeup a lot easier. Was able to do everything on the list, dog, greens shake, bible, meditate (while squeezing core), back PT, and even had time for some emails. Students were tough today so my throat is pretty tired but I recapped the shroom experience I had while I was absent from the show. Hope you're doing well!

How many "day 1" days do you have to your name?

You brought me back

Thank you for the messages and words of encouragement, it was very powerful. I always take something positive away from your personal journeys /stories, if you'd like to share some of the ways weed sucked you in and won't let go, the negative consequences of your use, shoot me an email at quittingmarijuanapodcast@gmail.com. It's about to get rowdy
