Why I Stopped Smoking Weed and How I did it Step-by-Step (Life-Changing)

Imagine that there is an energy cap over you and you could be accomplishing so much more. You could be feeling even better emotion, but this thing keeps you at a certain level. Where in this video, I'm going to show you how I stopped smoking weed, why I did it back in 2012, what made it so much easier, and I'm going to show you step by step how to do it. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now, first off, let me applaud you because back in the day when I was smoking weed, if I would have ever saw a video like this, I probably wouldn't have clicked on it. I remember that I did not like to see anything that had to do with quitting. I think deep down, uh, maybe part of me knew that it would be beneficial to my energy if I did that, but at the same time I didn't want to even see it because I didn't want to neglect or put down what I was doing. Now let me also say that if you're at this place right now, then most likely there is a deep part of you or a deeper part of you that knows that if you did stop, maybe your life would take off in very powerful ways. And now I'm not saying any of this to brag either, but these last couple of years especially, I believe that I am where I am because of my energy. And if I were smoking, I don't think I would be where I'm at right now. The kind of motivation, the energy that I've had, because when I quit smoking, I got so so much more energy. I had more energy to do different things. And since then, you know, I've been on YouTube for 3 years now. I had a 9 to 5 job before that, but now I live in a, in a really nice house and I get to travel the world doing what I love. And I don't say that to brag. I just say that because I see some people that smoke that I know that I know if they would quit, they would just, their businesses would take off in a new way. I see people that I think their lives would completely go to the next level if they stopped smoking weed. And it's because I believe that our vibration, our energy is meant to be higher than the energy of that of weed. Now let me explain to you what I mean by that, and to do so, what I'll do is I'll share with you this chart right here. You'll see this chart of consciousness. Now this chart of consciousness that you'll see right here, you'll see at the bottom, you'll see shame, fear, guilt, then eventually you'll see that of anger, neutrality, reasoning, love, joy, peace, and enlightenment. Now this chart comes from a book that is called Power Versus Force, and in that book it talks about muscle testing and how we can use muscle testing which is connected to our subconscious mind. Our body is connected to our subconscious mind to calibrate the vibration of certain activities, certain things we do. And one of the things that was done is they calibrated that of alcohol, which calibrates at the level of 275, and then they also calibrated that of weed, which— or marijuana, which calibrates at 350. So while weed is a higher vibration than alcohol, 350 on the scale of consciousness isn't necessarily as high as high as your natural vibration can be. Now let me share with you a little bit as well. When I was growing up, if you don't know my story already, I'll just kind of give a little bit of a, of a summary of it, but I grew up between 7 and 15 years old. I had a lot of control in my life. I had an abusive ex-stepmom in my life and my brother and I went through that. And after 15 years old came around, my dad divorced her, my brother and I had all this freedom again and it was amazing. We were able to have friends, we were able to do like normal kid things kids would do. And even after that though, I still felt a lot of unworthiness. I still felt a lot of pent-up emotion of like, why did that happen? Then what happened is I was smoking. I started smoking probably when I was back in 2010 or 2011. 2012 was when I quit. So it's been a while, but I've helped and seen so many people quit using what I share with you in this video. And here's what happened. I was smoking all day every day for like 2 years and then I learned that of meditation and meditation. By the way, I was somebody that was diagnosed as having ADHD, which means I was taking Adderall during the day, which is prescribed for having ADHD, which would help me focus because I worked a sales commission job working at Nordstrom's in women's shoes. So while I was there, I would take Adderall. I'd feel really, really great and be able to like sell a lot. And be able to stay focused. And then when I'd get home at night, what would happen is I would have the side effects of Adderall, which are you don't sleep very much and you don't eat very much. Well, what are the side effects of weed? The side effects are you do eat a lot, you do sleep a lot. So I would go during the day at work, I would do Adderall, I'd come home and it would help me balance out to relax and to eat and to sleep. So I was doing that for about 2 years. And then what I realized is I was like, you know, there's got to be a different way because there was such harsh side effects of doing doing Adderall. So I came across that of research online that talked about meditation, how meditation will help you to balance out the hormones in your body, release natural dopamine, and not have the dropping side effects that Adderall had. So what I did is I started to meditate, and at first I didn't get a great result. It was hard for me to do. But after I did this thing where I would stare at a candle flame, and what I realized is when my eyes were on one spot, it was so much easier for my eyes not to— when your eyes wander, your mind wanders. So if you keep your eyes on one spot, it's like the mind started to really slow down. So what I did is I would observe my thoughts, and when that happened, it changed everything. Within a couple days of doing that, I felt totally different. I felt my energy increase. I felt better. And within a week or two, I quit smoking weed and completely got off of Adderall. First I got off Adderall, and then I quit smoking weed like a week or two after that. And since then I felt amazing ever since. I believe that our natural vibration on the scale of consciousness is much higher than we think. I think that most of us can feel at the level of vibration of love and all we have to do is in a way integrate the past and meditate and meditate and helps us to do that, to observe it so it doesn't have so much power over us. So that is the way that I eventually, you know, got rid of, of, uh, now I'm going to share with you the step-by-step process that I use that makes all the difference with that, but I will say that in the last, years since quitting, my energy has had— I've had so much more energy to put into my passion, to put in what I love doing. And I feel like when it comes to our energy, if we keep ourselves at 350, which it's kind of funny, if you look at that chart of consciousness, you'll see 350 is that of acceptance. Now what happens when you smoke weed? You accept the moment. So sometimes for some people it could actually raise their vibration if they're feeling a lot of pain, a lot of pain about the past, it can actually raise their vibration. But here's the thing, when it raises our vibration from the lower states, when we're not doing it, it brings us, it brings us right back down. If we instead learn something like meditation, we learn how to rise above it rather than needing something as a crutch to bring us up. So when it comes to this process, it's about being aware of our energy, being aware of how we can in a way, you know, I realized that I was doing a lot of it because I was numbing the past in a way. Numbing a lot of the things that happened. But when I learned how to meditate, I learned how to observe it. And also I learned how to let go of labels. I let go of the label of needing Adderall or having ADHD altogether. I realized it was a label that I was clinging to. And then I let go of the label of being what is called a stoner or somebody that smokes a lot. Once I let go of that label from my identity and I observed it, that's when things really began to change. But let's go ahead and I'm going to show you the step-by-step process that makes the smoking weed so easy to quit, and I'm gonna show you in there. Let's go. Now, the first step to this process is simply becoming aware that it is time to quit, to stop smoking. Now, for me, there's actually something very interesting that happened when I did this. I was at the time working at Nordstrom's in women's shoes, and I remember that I had some friends— and I still have some friends— that own the number one smoke shop here in Las Vegas. And what I would do is every 2 weeks when I got paid, I would go there. Sometimes I'd get these new pieces like a glass bong or a pipe or something like that. And one time I remember that I went there and I bought this new piece that was like a $300 really nice piece of glass that was like a bong or something like, or yeah, it was a form of bong. And what happened was I was going to, I wanted a new piece. However, inside I knew that it was kind of time for me to quit, but for some reason I still got it. I still thought I was excited about it. I remember bringing it home and I kind of felt guilty about getting it because I knew on the inside that for me it was time. I could just feel it. I could just feel like it wasn't serving me anymore. I started to become aware of things like if I came across a video like this, I'd be more willing to watch it versus weeks or months before that where I'd be like, nope, I don't even want to see it. I don't want anything that negates what I'm doing because I love my life and there's nothing wrong with it. And by the way, I'm not even saying there is anything wrong with weed. I think weed has many healing modalities, healing benefits, but the thing is, is sometimes people use it and they end up just using every single day kind of as a crutch, and it keeps their energy within that 350 level of consciousness, and they don't actually accomplish what they're meant to do in life. So if it's for healing, if it's for cancer patients, if it's for certain things, think it's totally cool. But I think it's about being honest with ourselves and knowing whether we're doing it too much, whether we're using that as a crutch or whatnot. Now for me, I knew at the time that this is time for me to quit. However, I went and bought that piece, I brought it home, and I remember what I did is I loaded it up, I took a hit out of it, and it was the first hit I ever took out of it. I breathed it in, and as I breathed it out, I I just started crying. I know it sounds a little bit, you know, a little emotional, or like, why would you be crying? But I just knew that that was the last hit I was ever gonna take. And in a way, I felt like I was kind of breaking up with weed. In a way, I felt like it was a choice. I was like, I knew it just wasn't gonna work out anymore, in a way. But I remember I was crying, and I had this emotional release. And I think it was because I also was thinking about how weed affected me and everyone else in my life at that time. Now, once again, I think weed can be a very powerful healing thing, but on the other side of it, I realized that sometimes I was high when I would go like to my dad's house and I would see my sisters. And I remember there was this one picture, and in this picture it was like my dad, my sisters, and me, and my eyes were just completely glazed. Nothing wrong with it, but I knew, you know, that this is all self-judgment, but I knew that and remembered that like I kind of always felt a little bit guilty while I was there and I felt like I wasn't completely there with my family, my dad, my sisters, even though I never brought it into the house or anything. When I would do it and then go over, I could feel that my energy wasn't completely there. And I remember there was an ex-girlfriend I had that, that was actually one of the reasons we broke up was she drank and I smoked and she didn't like the fact that I smoke. And I thought it was weird because drinking, I couldn't figure out the difference in a way. However, I could feel the pain almost of that relationship. It's almost like sometimes when we smoke a lot, it kind of numbs a lot of emotion because what happens is it's a level of certainty that when you smoke, you will then bring yourself right up to acceptance at 350. But then there was this rush of energy of releasing all of this stuff I know didn't no longer serve me. And what happened is then I let that go and I felt so incredibly light. I let all that go. I cried for like 5 minutes or less, and then I just felt free. I felt like I, I let go, and I knew from that point going on that I wasn't going to smoke again. But part of it, and part of the thing that I, that I recommend for this, is it's becoming aware that it's time to quit. It's becoming aware of the pain at the same time that it would bring to keep on doing it. The pain would be the same reality you're currently in, accepting everything the way it is without pushing beyond it. The pain would be the different aspects of your life where you can see that it's not actually helping you. When you start to become aware that it's time, then you start to become aware of the pain. That's when you can then really move forward. Now, the second thing that's important for this is understanding that it's about making the choice to never again do it, making the choice, or to make the choice to quit or to cut back or whatever it is. However, What I recommend with this is looking and making the choice of being aware of it within your story. So for example, for me, we all have a story that we tell ourselves about who we are and what happens at any point in time. We can change our story. Now the thing is, is many times that story will remain on autopilot and we'll tell ourselves a story that it's hard to quit, that this is just the way it is, that it's much easier to do this, that it helps bring the edge off it helps us relax. That story will keep the narrative going on autopilot, and that's why it's about becoming aware of that story, and then it really is about making the choice. And when we're looking at how to easily stop smoking weed, it really could be just as easy as you make the choice and you never do it again. Now I know that sounds too simplistic, but that really is the key to quitting. It's you, you just decide, I'm never gonna do it again. That's it. Now the process and the steps I'm gonna share with you as well that are coming up make it way easier, but really it is a choice that we make. And if we don't make that choice, then it's like in the background, it's something that we might eventually do, but the key is to make that choice. Now, the third part is the game changer. The third part is becoming aware of how it is connected to your identity. If you see yourself as a smoker, then it will be very hard to quit smoking. It's like if somebody wants to lose weight, and what they do is they see themselves as somebody that's overweight and they're trying to lose weight. It's going to be hard because the way they see themselves, their self-image, their identity is set to a certain point to where they see themselves as that. So even if they try to do a little diet, it'll bring them right back to that base point of the way they see themselves. Now, for example, our self-image is like a thermostat. There's a thermostat on that wall right over here if you can see it, and if it's set to 75 degrees, and for some reason I open up the doors, it's cold right now, so it would bring in more cold. And then if the temperature were to go down to 68, the AC would then turn on the heater actually, and it would bring it back up to 75 because that is what is called a— it's called a psycho— a cybernetic mechanism. There's a book called Psycho-Cybernetics. That's why I was getting the word cybernetic mechanism. And the cybernetic mechanism keeps it regulated there. Now, if you see yourself as a smoker, and then what happens is you stop smoking, but you still see yourself at 75 degrees as a smoker, then it will be something that's very hard to do because your base point will bring you right back there subconsciously. The key to this is seeing yourself as no longer a smoker, which means that when you look at yourself and you think of yourself, you think of yourself, I don't smoke. That's not who I am. And think of it, part of the bad, the hard part about this too is the second part with the story we tell ourselves. Sometimes we tell ourselves a story, it's hard. We tell ourselves a story that we did this for 10 years and that's what keeps it hard to change. The key to this is becoming aware of the story, becoming aware of the identity we have around it, and then choosing to let it go. Realize every moment is a new moment. Every moment is a new moment. Every moment is a new moment. So if we keep knowing that we're always changing, it makes it easier to let go and of this part of us that sees us as a stoner or as somebody that smokes weed. So this is about the awareness of letting go of it from that part of your identity. And that is the game changer that makes everything easier. First off, know that this process can be easy. When you look at the choice in the story, tell yourself a story that quitting is easy. That's what I did. And it made it very easy. But first off, I had to become aware that it is time to quit. I had to look at the pain, I had to look at the things and also look at the pleasure if I stop smoking. And stopping smoking for me has led me to where now I live the life of my dreams, to be honest, because now I have the energy to be put in a certain direction. And I'll tell you, every single person watching this video, your natural base point is higher than 350. I promise you, meditation will help with this as well. Observing your thoughts, learning to observe rather than react, that can be extraordinarily powerful. And I have meditation. I have videos that show exactly my process for meditation and how I stopped taking Adderall or having ADHD, my exact meditation process that I'll link in the top of the description box below as well for you and put as a card right here as well. Now become aware it's time to stop smoking. Become aware of the pain that it was bringing you and become aware of the pleasure of, of what it would mean if you did stop smoking. Secondly, just simply make the choice. From this point going forward, I'm no longer gonna do it. Tell yourself a story that is easy. And then third, become aware of your identity and then let go of believing that you are even a smoker. And as you do that, it makes it so much easier. Now part of this may mean that because of that, I'll share with you some tips that make this easier as well, is that you stop hanging around people that are smoking weed for a while, or just in general, and you realize that this is a value that I no longer have. And when I do it, it brings you to that certain state. And if you're, if you're in your environment, you have all these triggers and these things that make you want it. You have to be aware of that. I remember after I quit smoking, a year or two later, I moved in with a roommate that I didn't realize was gonna be smoking so much weed. And what happened is every morning I would wake up, I'd smell it and it would kind of, it didn't necessarily tempt me, but it almost kind of made me, because I was so far beyond, it would make me irritated though, because in a way, it had that reference experience to my past in a way. So if you remove yourself from those triggers, if you remove yourself from being around other people that are doing it, it's gonna make it so much easier for you. So become aware of the people you're around, make the choice to quit. That really makes it so much easier. But this one that I'm gonna share as well makes the process even easier than that, and that is having something to do in place of the smoking weed for when you get the cravings. So what I recommend is wiring in the new, something new to do, something new to do. When you do something new, this could be something like, uh, it could be— for me, it was meditation. I learned how to observe my thoughts, and if I felt a deep craving to do it, I would go and I would just meditate. I would meditate, observe my thoughts. You become— to anything you do that you get a certain sense of certainty from, Like for example, you smoke weed and you're certain you're going to feel relaxed in this certain way. That in a way is like an anchor that is anchoring you into feeling relaxed. Well, what I realized is that I could apply that towards other things. So I applied that towards meditation. I would start meditating and I would start to feel this, this, uh, not necessarily a euphoria, but this lightness, this new, almost like I ended up also feeling this spiritual connectedness to to my environment, to people in my life. It really deepened my life in powerful ways. It's just meditating and observing my thoughts. That really is all it was. But wiring in something new and making a choice to go for your passion is also something I would recommend. Go for your passion. When you're talking about the scale of consciousness right here, you'll see that of reasoning and love. When you're doing what you're passionate about, you're at like 450 or above. That's where you're at. You're actually at love and above. When you start to do that. Do what you are passionate about. Make it as a commitment that I'm going to stop smoking weed and I'm going to put all of my energy— because you will have more energy, you will have more energy to put in what you're passionate about, you'll have more energy when you're around other people, you'll have a different energy dynamic about yourself, you'll carry yourself in a different way. Make it a choice that you're going to go for your passion. That's exactly what I did. I quit, and it took maybe a year or two, but then I developing the courage to get on YouTube, that energy went in this direction and now I live the life of my dreams. 3 years now it's been, I've been traveling the world, making YouTube videos. I live in a dream house now and I get to live the lifestyle I want and you can too. Make the choice right now that you are going to become aware that it's time to quit smoking weed. You're going to see how it's been keeping you in the same reality over and over again and it's been keeping keeping things on autopilot. Secondly, make the choice. Know that it can be easy. Change the story, believing it has to be hard. Thirdly, drop it from your identity. See yourself as somebody where it's easy to quit. See yourself as somebody that does not smoke weed and drop the story that you did smoke weed in the past. You're new every moment. You're new every moment. You're new every moment. And then that makes it easier. And then fourth, let this be the part of your story where now you just go for what you are passionate about. You go for what you're passionate about, and now you have energy to actually do that. And when you make the choice to put your energy in that direction, you'll find that you have so much more potency. Even when we're talking about the law of attraction, when we're talking about the focus, you have more focus on your goals and of accomplishing things you want when you have that, that potency. You don't have that potency when you're smoking a lot. So when you have that more potency that you're gonna have, you're gonna be able to create what you want easier than ever. Now if you want to learn more about why I stopped smoking and more about that chart of consciousness, you'll see a video right here you can click. And then also there's a very powerful meditation for changing your self-image, which is what will change and make this process easier than ever. Listen to that meditation for 21 days. I think it will change your life. You'll see it as an end card right here. It's the self-image transformation meditation. Watch it and watch after 21 days how you just see yourself as completely new. You're going for your passion and your whole life begins to change. So with that being said, I hope you enjoy this video. Peace, much love, and namaste.
