Quitting Cannabis: The 7 Steps to Successfully Overcome Your Cannabis Withdrawal
For those dependent on cannabis, quitting smoking may seem like an impossible task. Indeed, cannabis and especially the THC it contains are truly addictive substances, just like alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. Therefore, a cannabis withdrawal can be difficult and uncomfortable, especially if done without support. Nevertheless, it is possible to overcome this challenge with an appropriate and effective treatment, such as laser auriculotherapy. In this article, discover the different steps to a gentle cannabis withdrawal with our Reset Laser method.
1. Acknowledge Your Cannabis Addiction
Do you realize that your cannabis consumption is excessive and negatively impacts your physical and mental health, but you can’t seem to reduce it? Do you experience withdrawal symptoms when you haven’t consumed it for a long time? Do you always need to consume more cannabis to satisfy your cravings? Is your cannabis use having negative effects on your daily life (problems at school, work, in your relationships, behavioral issues, etc.)?
If you answered positively to several of these questions, you likely have a cannabis addiction. The first step in any withdrawal from an addictive substance (alcohol, tobacco, sugar, drugs) is to acknowledge your dependence and admit that you have a problem. This task is difficult, but it is necessary to move forward.
2. Find the Motivation to Quit
Essential Motivation
Realizing your cannabis dependence is good. Wanting to permanently stop using marijuana is better. An effective cannabis withdrawal cannot be conceived without deep motivation, regardless of the method used to free yourself from this addictive product. If you lack the willpower to quit smoking cannabis, you risk quickly relapsing into your addiction.
Good Reasons to Quit
Ask yourself the question: “Why do you want to stop consuming cannabis?” It could be for your own health, for your loved ones, to solve the problems your consumption causes in your life, etc. This list of reasons will help you stay motivated.
3. Find a Method That Suits You
Seek Information
Once you have found the motivation to quit cannabis, you can start looking for a method that suits you. This may involve researching different cessation treatments online and how they work, attending meetings or support groups, or talking to people who have successfully overcome their cannabis addiction. This way, you will have all the information you need to make the right choice.
Determine Your Needs
Since one person is not the same as another and there is no single right way to quit smoking marijuana, try to establish your needs, expectations, and what you want to avoid at all costs.
Based on this list, you will find a method suited to your situation among the many possibilities available to you: total cessation or gradual reduction, medication to reduce withdrawal symptoms, use of substitutes (CBD), or alternative treatments like laser auriculotherapy.
Laser Auriculotherapy: For Whom?
Laser auriculotherapy, for example, is a therapy suitable for people motivated to free themselves from their cannabis dependence quickly and without uncomfortable symptoms caused by withdrawal (anxiety, sleep disorders, etc.).
It involves using a laser to stimulate specific points on the ear to eliminate the sensation of craving. It is therefore a perfect therapy for people who want a cannabis withdrawal without experiencing its negative effects.
4. Set a Date to Start Your Cannabis Withdrawal
Now that you have chosen your method, it’s time to set a date to begin your cannabis withdrawal. So, make an appointment without delay with a practitioner, such as at one of our anti-addiction centers for a laser auriculotherapy session. If you have decided to quit alone, without support, make sure to be diligent and adhere to the chosen date.
It is important to choose a date that is not too far in the future, to stay motivated. Of course, nothing prevents you from already trying to reduce your cannabis consumption and starting to adopt good habits before the big day.
5. Follow Your Therapy
Start the Chosen Therapy
It is now time to begin your withdrawal on the set date, according to the chosen method: visit your doctor, quit smoking cannabis entirely overnight, take substitutes to reduce symptoms, or follow your alternative treatment…
How Does a Laser Auriculotherapy Session Work?
By choosing laser auriculotherapy, you benefit from several advantages: a totally painless and non-invasive treatment, effective in a single one-hour session, no side effects, and no sensation of craving.
At Reset Laser Institute, your session takes place in 4 steps, all in a one-hour session:
- A meeting with a professional to establish your profile and explain the course of the laser session.
- The detection of points on the ear pavilion linked to your dependence and their stimulation with a gentle laser.
- The disconnection of these points to eliminate any sensation of craving.
- Personalized support with advice.
6. Follow Your Practitioner's Advice
Depending on the chosen method, your withdrawal may last more or less long (sometimes several weeks). With laser auriculotherapy, you are completely freed from marijuana after a single session.
As with any therapy, you might still feel the urge to fall back into old habits. Therefore, it is important to follow the advice given by your doctor or practitioner to the letter. They may advise you, for example, to adopt a healthy lifestyle, exercise, watch your diet, avoid situations that might tempt you to smoke (such as parties where you are around other cannabis smokers), and to stop all cannabis consumption immediately after your session.
7. Start Your New Life Without Cannabis
The last step is the one you are most looking forward to. You are finally free from your THC dependence. Keep up your good habits and enjoy your new life without cannabis!
