Takeaways
- 🚫 Ne compare pas ton parcours de cessation à celui des autres. Chaque personne a son propre rythme et expérience unique.
- 📅 Laisse de côté les délais et les attentes. La cessation est une expérience personnelle qui ne suit pas de calendrier précis.
- 🔥 Évite de s'engager sur trop de fronts. Concentre-toi sur l'objectif principal, qui est l'abstinence.
- 🤔 Ignore les excuses. Même si elles semblent valides, elles ne devraient pas être une raison pour continuer l'addiction.
- 🏋️ Ignore les sentiments physiques. Continue d'avancer malgré les symptômes de sevrage.
- 👫 Ignore les autres. Évite les personnes qui peuvent exercer une pression pour reprendre la consommation.
- 💪 Évite les rechutes. Ils érodent la confiance en soi et augmentent la vulnérabilité à l'addiction.
- 👥 Rejoignez une communauté ou trouvez de l'aide. Le soutien de personnes qui comprennent l'importance de la cessation est précieux.
- 🚫 Ne néglige pas les bases. Prends soin de ta santé physique en mangeant sain, en boivant de l'eau et en dormant suffisamment.
- 🍽️ Ne néglige pas l'importance d'une alimentation saine, de l'hydratation et de la bonne hygiène.
- 🏃 Faites de l'exercice et de l'activité physique. C'est un excellent moyen de gérer le stress et d'améliorer votre bien-être.
- 🌟 Ne sous-estime pas le temps et les défis. La guérison prend du temps, mais les efforts sont récompensés à long terme.

Outlines
🚫 Éviter les comparaisons - Paragraphe 1
Le narrateur partage ses erreurs lors de son arrêt du cannabis. Il mentionne avoir mal comparé son parcours à celui des autres, ce qui a eu pour effet de le décourager. Il a observé des vidéos YouTube et des personnes sur les médias sociaux, ce qui a exacerbé ses sentiments d'infériorité. Il conseille de ne pas se comparer aux autres, car cela peut nuire à sa propre récovery.
📅 Laissez tomber les délais - Paragraphe 2
Le locuteur exprime le souhait de ne pas s'accrocher à des délais précis dans le processus d'arrêt. Il avait des attentes précises pour son cheminement, comme un emploi nouveau, une relation ou une vie meilleure à des dates spécifiques. Il suggère de ne pas s'attacher à ces délais, car cela peut causer de la frustration. Il insiste sur l'importance de se concentrer sur l'arrêt lui-même plutôt que sur d'autres objectifs.
🏋️♂️ Ne vous engagez pas trop - Paragraphe 2 (suite)
Il reconnaît avoir commis l'erreur d'overcommitment, en prenant l'engagement de changer radicalement sa vie après l'arrêt du cannabis.

Il admet avoir été trop préoccupé par les sentiments physiques négatifs ressentis lors de l'arrêt, comme la fatigue et l'anxiété. Il souhaite qu'il ait ignoré ces sentiments et continué malgré tout. Il rappelle que l'on ignore ces mêmes sentiments chaque jour lorsqu'on est accro, donc il est important de les ignorer pendant le processus d'arrêt.
👥 Ignorez les autres - Paragraphe 3 (suite)

Transcripts
in today's video I want to share with
you guys some mistakes that I made when
I was quitting weed and if you like the
information in today's video I put it
all into a PDF document and you can find
that document for free and the pinned
comment the link in my profile or the
video description so let's get right
into it
mistake number one that I continually
made over and over again throughout my
years of trying to quit was comparing my
journey of quitting to other people so I
was constantly watching YouTube videos
very similar to my own CG kid other ogs
when it comes to addiction recovery
content and I was constantly comparing
myself and this was a really bad thing
and I was not only comparing myself to
other people on YouTube but I was
comparing myself to other people like my
friends that I had quitting and other
acquaintances that I knew who were
quitting on like social media and this
was bad because some of these people
were further ahead than I was in a
shorter period of time than I was and
what would happen is in my brain my
addicted brain I would say oh my God I'm
Different my scenario was different than
everyone else is I knew that I was
unique and I'm never going to get better
for example if someone says oh you're
going to have Peak weed withdrawal
symptoms in the first three to five days
and your withdrawal symptoms Peak at two
weeks suddenly that addicted part of
your brain might manipulate you into
thinking you're different you're not the
same you're never going to get better
and I would get really really down on
myself by comparing my addiction
recovery journey to other people's
Journeys so that was one thing secondly
I really wish I would have let go of
timelines and time frames I had all of
these expectations in my quitting
Journey like okay I'm gonna quit and at
day three I should be here and in two
weeks I should be here and in a year I
should be here you know new job new
relationship New Life whatever and I
really wish I had let go of all of those
timelines I think it's really good to
have General timelines and that's why
I've made so many videos those on like
weed withdrawal timelines nicotine
withdrawal timelines but please guys if
you're watching those take them with a
grain of salt because what applies to me
and what applies to someone else might
not apply to you addiction and quitting
weed is a very unique experience to to
yourself to the individual quitting
mistake number two that I made was over
committing I would quit and I would get
super ramped up I'd be like I'm going to
change my whole life I'm going to start
eating healthy I'm gonna work out five
days a week I'm not gonna watch porn
anymore another addiction I had I'm not
going to chew tobacco I'm not going to
vape and I would commit to so many
things I'm going to journal every day
I'm going to meditate every day I'm
going to go to the sauna at least four
days a week and I would over commit the
only commitment you need in the
beginning of sobriety although I am an
extremely goal oriented our programs
that we have for people are extremely
goal oriented they're meant to drive
people your only commitment when you
first quit is quitting okay it's great
to have all the other aspirations and
goals and I would encourage you to but
your only goal is quitting and this
might mean to other people too maybe you
can't commit to that thing at the job
maybe you can't commit to that thing at
school me maybe you can't commit to that
next level of the relationship right now
in early sobriety your commitment needs
to be to yourself and staying sober not
smoking weed day in and day out in your
early sobriety process don't over commit
or you're going to get overwhelmed and
when you get overwhelmed your brain's
gonna go back to weed it's going to say
oh you're anxious you're overwhelmed you
need to relax and if you're still under
that addiction the facade of addiction
you're going to think weed is going to
relax you and then you're going to wind
up relapsing
foreign
excuses we all have good excuses as to
why we smoked weed right my parents were
divorced I came from I have great
parents but we had our troubles like
everyone else I went through challenging
things as a child as many people did
right we use weed as a coping mechanism
I had valid excuses to go back to
smoking I still have valid excuses to go
back to addiction that doesn't mean that
we need to accept those excuses and that
we need to listen to them you probably
have valid reasons why you smoke whether
it's recreational medicinal childhood
trauma coping it doesn't matter you can
choose to ignore those excuses even if
they are valid the next thing I wish is
that I had ignored the physical feelings
I was going through I would start to
feel tired fatigued more depressed more
anxious sometimes when I would quit weed
my muscles would hurt I'd feel super
nauseous yes I had CHS whole different
story I wish I ignored how I felt
physically and that I just kept going I
would get so tied up in how I felt and
I'd be like oh I don't want to quit
anymore I changed my mind because I feel
bad today and I wish I ignored that
because I ignored how I felt every
single day that I was addicted to weed
right I felt demotivated I felt sick I
felt lazy I felt tired I felt nauseous I
felt depressed that's why I was quitting
right there's a reason why you're
quitting and you ignore those feelings
every single day to keep smoking so
ignore your physical emotions ignore
your physical feelings while you're
quitting your physical feelings the
physical hurt of withdrawal ignore it
you don't need to embrace that secondly
or thirdly others people don't know what
to do with you when you're in recovery
unless they've been through it in
themselves so people are going to say
things to you when you're first quitting
that don't make sense that piss you off
that trigger you that frustrate you that
irritate you ignore other people
especially if other people are a source
of peer pressure hey just one more smoke
won't hurt hey it's it's it's a holiday
why not just smoke with us maybe you
have a loved one that smokes ignore
people in the beginning if they don't
know what they're doing when it comes to
addiction recovery okay they don't know
what they're saying they don't know how
it's impacting you okay
all right avoid relapse at all cost guys
relapse makes us lose faith in ourselves
and it wears on us and every time it
wears us down a little bit more a little
bit more a little bit more we become all
the more susceptible to ongoing
addiction and the best way to do this in
my opinion is get a community get help
we have the addiction mindset
accountability Community it's five
dollars a month we got over a hundred
people in it going live once a week all
helping each other all supporting each
other join AAA join n a join Ma I I
whatever floats your boat it could be a
business Community right when I quit I
was part of a community of business
coaches learning how to do business
better I was also part of some rehab
support communities Addiction Rehab
stuff join a community get help get
support guys I'm super into coaching I'm
a certified addiction recovery coach I
do this for a living helping people quit
if someone has been through it before 4
ask them get it's like getting a cheat
code anytime people ask me all the time
how did you start on YouTube how did you
grow your Tic Tac to over you know 400
000 subscribers I hired coaches I paid
people who knew how to do it and I got
the cheat codes talk to someone who's
been through it before have a support
Community have connections make
connections make relationships and lean
on those when you feel like you're going
to relapse ask for help that's one of my
biggest regrets when it comes to to
quitting I didn't ask for help soon
enough and honestly in my journey I I
really didn't ask for help along the
whole process I kind of went at it on my
own and I guess maybe YouTube is where I
leaned for help which is kind of like
asking but God I wish I had a community
guys
don't trade addictions okay the point of
quitting is to feel better is to feel
healthier so if you quit smoking weed
and you start drinking more alcohol like
I did right I'm not going to smoke weed
but I'm going to be the guy that drinks
two beers every night with dinner I'm
gonna go hard on my vape hard on the
cigarettes hard on the tobacco more now
you're gonna feel like crap and then
you're gonna quit for two or three weeks
you're gonna say I still feel like crap
Dr Frank it's not worth quitting I I
told you quitting weed wasn't going to
make you feel better I told you quitting
weed wasn't going to change anything how
I feel don't trade addictions the point
is to feel better not to feel worse
watch out for this common behavior that
happens especially with alcohol nicotine
and pornography stimulants two guys
pre-workout products energy drinks we're
not trading addictions the goal is to
feel better
okay big one right here don't
underestimate the time and the challenge
that's ahead of you when it comes to
quitting weed again this kind of plays
hand in hand with letting go of the
expectations and the timelines this
might be hard for some people right it
takes a full year for the brain to
recover I tell people we gotta give it
minimally 90 days before we're making
any conclusions about how you feel and
how your recovery process is going how
your quit is going I would always
underestimate this and in some days guys
they were hard like the anhedonia the
post-acute withdrawals the CHS symptoms
they would hit me hard two weeks and
three weeks into quitting and I
underestimated how much time it was
really going to take to feel good so
please guys keep going I promise you get
better I promise there's an end to the
withdrawals I'm in year six of my my
quit right now and I feel like I am just
getting that debt Steam team role style
momentum like I can't be stopped but
it's six years it took me six years to
be at this point six years and it is
worth every single year it is worth
every single moment that I went through
I promise that to you guys don't
underestimate the challenge ahead of you
okay please
and then lastly the basics guys how many
times did I neglect eating healthy foods
how many times did I neglect staying
hydrated get some electrolytes keto Chow
makes little electrolyte drops you can
get out on Amazon I pinned them in the
video description okay they're great
great hydration especially if you have
CHS and sleep I know it's hard to sleep
in the beginning and we're gonna make
more videos on supplements soon to help
you guys with this stuff but like Gaba
it can be a good supplement always talk
to your doctor first you might want to
try melatonin right but in the beginning
I recommend don't do any supplements
don't do anything just let your body
figure it out on its own but eat food
drink water hydrate and sleep and rest
Guys these are so important the basic
stuff right are you binging social media
