Logan Paul has revealed how his ‘hardest week’ of 2021 came right as the year drew to a close, saying it happened just after he gave up smoking weed on Christmas Eve.
Paul, 26, shared a series of photos on Instagram, accompanied by a lengthy explanation of what had happened to him over the festive period.
The YouTuber recalled how giving up weed just before Christmas led to ‘pretty nasty withdrawals’, including appetite loss and insomnia.
Things then didn’t get any better at New Year, when he found himself suffering from food poisoning - which he claims saw him vomiting more than 40 times.
Paul wrote: “Super fun New Year’s story. I quit smoking weed on December 24, been having some pretty nasty withdrawals (loss of appetite, insomnia, extreme irritability) — by far the hardest week of 2021 for me.
“Then yesterday on NYE, I got food poisoning (which was odd because all I had was a tiny croissant and a latte in the morning).
“I threw up 40+ times and spent the evening sweating in bed… AND all the pharmacies were closed so I couldn’t get any medicine.
“I was so dehydrated that I begged the only emergency ambulance in the city to hook me up to an IV so I could replenish and go out with my friends.
“They said it wasn’t possible unless they took me to the hospital. Obviously f*** that.
“In an attempt to initiate the rally of the century, I managed to put on my suit and go to the party for 10 minutes before I realised my fate was sealed.
“As I walked back home up the cold icy hill defeated and disappointed, I threw up another five times in the street. Didn’t miss a stride.”
Paul continued: “Coincidentally, this is the third New Year’s in a row where I’ve been deathly ill, so I theorised: perhaps life has made the beginning of the past few years a nightmare for me so I appreciate the remaining 364 days. I consider it an involuntary ‘reset.’
“Having been physically and mentally humbled (again), it’s only up from here.
“I’m feeling much better today, and I know this year is going to be astronomical for me.
“I hope you all grab 2022 by the f***ing horns and accomplish everything you want.”
