In this Addiction Mindset video Dr. Frank discusses why quitting nicotine feels impossible for some people despite Allen Carrs Easy Way To Quit Smoking or Quit Vaping books. Nicotine addiction and quitting smoking is not impossible because of the nicotine withdrawals or because you are not using nicotine replacement therapy, but rather because of the actual benefits nicotine provides.

Howcome when I vape I don’t feel nicotine buzz no more it’s like I feel imune to the smoke and less stress I take ashwaghanda from time to time u think the vitamins are helping me?
There were two things that motivated me to quit….its called aggressive adenocarcinoma and having the right upper lobe of my lung removed. My surgery was done on January 24th and my PET scan identified no additional instances. Although this life altering event made quitting a heck of a lot easier I still have to deal with the forever effects of smoking. This channel helps with the insidious thoughts that still make me think I am missing something. I truly pray for everyone trying to quit. Please use every tool and resource Dr. Frank offers and I wish you all success.
How long did u smoke
Carr was a genius I dont think you are in any position to criticize him.
9 days in! Starting to feel normal.. not 100% but pretty darn good! Thanks so much for your videos.
Crazy how much vaping makes you tired, lethargic.
Hell yes!! It takes time but quitting is 100% worth it 💪
How you getting on now? We're you able to go about your day to day activities during the first week?
Hope you're still on track! My day 1 will be Wednesday this week. Taking my tank apart so I'd have to literally rebuild it if I wanted to vape again.
9 days vape and nicotine free. Been doing it 10 years and hating it. Thanks for all your videos they’re what helped push me to do it.
EDIT: Checking back in… 43 days vape and nicotine free guys. You can do it! 💪
Congratulations Dear can I your contact number. I have a query...
Congratulations, overcoming this addictions is a great feat. Stay healthy and smoke free 🙏🙏
Your not relaxed from smoking , your filling a void from the previous cigarette. Non smokers dont need to relax 20 times a day. Is it good for your mental health to relax 20 times a day ?
That's a really great way of putting it.
He is just spreading an illusion and selling his product. Allen Car Easy Way is the Best Method of All Time. 💎
Honestly the book worked for me to stop smoking cigarettes... Allen Carr is dead since 2006 and i read the old version. I bought the new one recently for a friend and i was astonished by a lot of things. Obviously it's not from Allen Carr. So i don't know what to think about this book. Now, i'am going to watch the video but i wanted to give my experience with the Allen Carr's method who i feel i owe some recognition.
Allen Car played a great role in Millions of Smokers life. RIP Allen Car
Keep doing these great videos!!
Great vid as always.
Nearly 20 hours smoke free and feel healthier already
I actually have this book it kinda helped me . The original version if Allen Carr book was better. Tbh knowing that he died from smoking made me feel awful 😢. It helped me quit smoking. Also thank you for your videos I've been nicotine free for 25 days❤
I’ve tried to quit vaping many times within the last 7 years. What made it effortless for me was having my vape die while on a trip out of the country. I was jet lagged for about a week upon my return and was way too tired/lazy to drive out to get a new one. I think the disruption in my daily routine (i.e. not using vape while driving to work, paired with morning caffeine, etc) made it effortless for my body to just forget about it entirely. Running on 4 months now and it’s amazing because I didn’t even try to quit, just still too lazy to get a new one.
Would not have been able to quit nicotine and marijuana without this channel! Might not have even been made aware of my addiction. Thank you Dr. Frank!
Anytime!!! Props on the progress love to hear it 💪
Dr frank I love your videos! One thing I will say is, on the topic of nicotine harm reduction, patches are the best way to go. Far from perfect, but as somebody who’s struggled with every form of nicotine you can think of, the patches are the safest. Hands down. I’m going to try to quit the patches tomorrow after some stressful exams, fingers crossed 🤞 keep up the great videos! 🙌 💯
I just hit 50 days vape free. I am using the nicotine patch purely because I started smoking at 9 years old I'm 32 now so growing up nicotine was always in me and I was a super chronic chain smoker/vaper. This is still the hardest thing I've ever had to do and I'm still not sure if I'm out of the woods yet because I still fantasize and glorify vaping I convince myself I miss it but I'm trying to stay the course. I start the final step of the patches in 4 days from now so hope that helps
About 15 yrs ago I read Allen Carrs book and I did just stop. I started back after a years long custody dispute then switched to vaping for harm reduction. I tried to quit that cold turkey after 2 weeks I felt like I wanted to die. Now I am struggling. Largely, I think because I have PTSD and the stress of quitting just puts me over the edge. I know the long term benefits will be awesome but I cant push past the short term misery.
I totally get it. I've never been more than 1 month free. But hey, that means we can do it!! Keep trying ❤
I thought I was the only person that Allen Carr did not work for. I tried the books and online seminar, and nothing ☹️
Carr’s books work and have helped millions. I don’t think just because Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan think nicotine is beneficial means his book doesn’t work lol
i’m like 4 days in and i’m feeling a loss of appetite anxious very emotional for no reason and sometimes nauseous
i know what you mean, i feel the same at day 6 currently. how are you doing now?
It literally was that easy for me I'm not even kidding you guys. Even though I only smoked for two years but still I've quit so many times. Don't let all these videos scare you people come on just quit
3+ Months weed free. Looking at quitting nicotine now lesgoo, your a life saver Dr Frank . Appreciate you
I’ve listened to the book 8 times hoping it hypnotizes me. It never worked. lol.
Dipped for over 10 years. 35 days in to my quit. Anxiety through the roof. Any advice for me?
It's important to recognize that individuals' tendencies towards drug use and smoking cigarettes can be heavily influenced by their environment and personal circumstances. Factors such as lack of self-confidence and the inability to find healthier methods of obtaining dopamine rewards, like savoring a cup of coffee while engaging in productive activities such as studying, learning, and rehearsing, can increase impulsivity towards substance use. Procrastination, social isolation, and a lack of understanding that skills are developed through dedication and practice, rather than being innate, can also contribute to this behavior.
It is essential to remember that the brain and body are tools provided by nature that should be treated with care. Misuse or excessive consumption of substances like marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes can have long-term effects on an individual, potentially leading to cognitive regression and impaired memory retention, which may not be fully reversible. Therefore, it is advisable to gradually reduce consumption rather than abruptly stopping "cold turkey", or forcing one self , in which can instead be done slowly by incorporating at the same time healthy habits and never using cigarettes or weed as a reward after you do a hard session of work but rather incorporate them so you smoke less and less, and i would never tell a person in untactful way to stop using all drugs altogether, and use a 20 pound penalty bar hammer on his head.
The ease or difficulty of overcoming substance dependence varies from person to person, depending on their unique circumstances. Understanding the multifaceted nature of desire and the various factors that influence an individual's level of dependency is crucial in addressing these issues effectively, hope my comment helped the readers re-hearse in a variable way.
I tried quitting before, but I am SOON. No more excuses. I want the extra money and the health. Even if there are benefits of nicotine, you can also get those benefits from eating healthy meats and healthy veggies. Without any side affects like deathotine. Honestly? I wish I could smoke my American Spirit tobacco occasionally. But I can't. So, coming soon, I am done! I have NO choice. Doing it for my family, my new upcoming car, and my new puppy I am getting this April.
A hit of dopamine, healthy dopamine, is eating healthy and walking, also raising a puppy, feeling/looking better, etc.
Read Allen carrs book, I personally thought for the first time about my mental health and nicotine
I’ve been quitting SOON for over 20 years…
I agree with not putting more nicotine, yes your video's help very much but is your product available in Canada on shelves?
I’ve been trying to quit for four months and I was able to for a moth then I relapsed idk it just feels almost impossible
Nicotine started becoming more of a nuisance than a benefit. I definitely have more energy and consistently get better quality sleep while off nicotine than when I was abusing it.
Today marks 4 weeks since I quit smoking, cold turkey. Your channel appearing in my feed was the motivation I needed to finally do it. I can highly recommend watching some of Chris Skoyle's videos as well. It's basically motivation prn for quitting 😅
To be honest I'm very surprised by how little of a difference I feel. My blood flow to my hands and feet is markedly better, I'm not coughing all the time (which was the thing that really motivated me to quit), and I can smell when others have been smoking, but that's about it.
On the other hand I also don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, so cravings have been minimal. The main thing for me is that I really want to chill for 5-10 minutes when I get home, but I haven't really found anything that works. Reading/watching/listening/gaming gets me distracted, and meditation or exercise doesn't really scratch the itch, however healthy it's supposed to be.
Hey man, happy to hear you’re four weeks in! Rule of 3’s! The next big “change” / biological reset is gonna be at 3 months!
Something that helps me get 5-10 minutes, either when waking up or getting home, is making a drink. Green juice, Ill use a protein powder with probiotics, veggie powders, fruit powders. Buy a 15$ blender bottle and maybe you could try doing a smoothie break when ya get home. Drinking out of the bottle also kinda helps imitate the hand to mouth. Takes me a good 5-20 to make it and drink it.
I quit for 2 months during my 9 yrs vaping- when I quit, I smelled the vape bottle when I was nicking
yup over time it becomes repulsive.
A few years ago I went to my doctor to get a check up and she asked me if I smoked and I said yes. Then she asked if I wanted to quit so I said yes. She put me on these pills (I wish I could remember the brand name) and they made me so depressed, like I've never felt before but after three days I stopped taking them. I was supposed to be on them for three months. I haven't smoked since. I wish there was something similar for weed and p*rn.
9:21 What is the enzyme being mentioned here? I hear "hooper enzyme A"....
The hoopty enzyme, it's in the first men in black
I try to combination of the nicotine gum and the mints and I couldn’t take the mints because they made me wanna throw up like I literally get sick from them. I was able to quit successfully for three months and I went back to smoke only cigarettes and then during that three months when I stopped, I hit a vape and I have been addicted ever since I wanna stop
Hey! Sorry it has nothing to do with this video but ive been watching your videos about t-breaks and recently learned about chs. Ive been smoking on average 4 joints a week and only at night for 2 years, how long should i take a break to prevent chs from ever developing? Thank you ❤ (sorry for stalking 😂)
hmm that is tough to answer. I do not think we have enough information on CHS yet before we make that call. Regular tolerance breaks and using low concentration THC should help though.
@@AddictionMindset thanks so much for your answer. 🙏🏻 I'll try to keep my break as long as possible anyway and your videos help with that too. 😊 It's going good, no withdrawal or anything. Only an occasional craving which disappears rather soon. 🤔 Happy I never smoked daily! I always knew the sober state was an important one. And here in Belgium we can only get flowers illegally, but I mix them with legal CBD. Keep up your amazing work!! Thanks to you I'm educating my fellow harm reduction workers, no one knew of CHS! ✌🏻
What if you’ve been using high concentration THC for uhhhh, longer than a short while
@@CharnHorpee I used to smoke 2-3grams potent and strong cannabis on everyday day. For me it takes 2weeks to get rid of the thc in my system, after that it start to get a lot of easier. Advice would be just to hang on those couple of weeks its chaotic but after that you start to be free :)
I tried 6mg pouch yesterday for studying, and I will say that it helped me stay focused and sharp during a 5 hour study session. I will say that 6mg is too much for me, and it felt uncomfortable keeping it my mouth, so I had to spit it out in less than 3 minutes. I will be switching to 2mg doses maybe once or twice a week for long study sessions. I’m only using nicotine for the enhanced focus when studying. Once I pass the exam, then I quit.
OK I am stressed and didnt see your gum whech is right in front of my face!! Haha! Just to let other's know that there is a meditation from Michael Sealy on quiting smoking it is great also to help with beginning to quit smoking!! Thanks Dolores
Allen also used the word “perceived benefit “ on his book, not just benefit
Vaping has become incredibly expensive. 120 ml bottle of e juice now costs 50$ dollars. I typically go through 4 bottles a month that's 200$ a month! Not including the coils. It's something I have to quit or else.
I quit vaping, zyn, & weed. FML I have a very stressful life and need something to help. 🤦♂️
Family and friends are a really good resource when looking for an escape/comfort from the world
Read Allen carrs book
@@derrick4395yeah but you can’t rely on them, we on our own.
Excellent video, thank you very much. I'm using velo nicotine pouches atm. There is something about nicotine I like. That's it, "something"
Nicotine does have benefits for people with anxiety and depression,it's a brain stimulant.
@@windyacresway I don't think I suffer anxiety but depression possibly. Nicotine is an antidepressant but you don't need a prescription for it.
I didnt have a issue cutting my nicotine to zero in my vape and keeping it that way.The habit of vaping was much much harder to quit.Im guessing its the hand to mouth thing.
I miss the old chicken crow intro. 2 days and 22 hours off nicotine....
One week off of weed after every day use you have been a big support system
Carr didn't tell lies your thumbnail is a disgrace. Take it down.
I never vaped but I did smoke cigarettes
I don't want to vape for the rest of my life I want to stop it 5alas do it
How do you go about quitting narcotics if you don't care about how much it's destroying your life?
Where does motivation come from to change, rather than just sink deeper into the hole until the inevitable happens?
Ask for help. Even if you have to pretend that theres a god...or goddess...or higher power. And ask for the willingness to want to quit. AA is pretty cool too. Or NA. Worked for me
If your struggling with nicotine or tobacco products the best way to quit is that it has to been within you , if you quit and go back it’s because you like it .
Nah not because you like it but because your 🧠 is looking for that chemical
Day 1 of no Vaping and Nicotine
3 days in. I hate this.
It gets way better. I quit almost 5 months ago. The only time I ever think of vaping or using Zyns is when around friends who are doing it. So glad I quit. 💯
The "benefits" of nicotine all these influencers keep speaking of are laughable. There's only a few small reasons any "benefits" have been found.
1. Big Tabacco, DUH
These guys just want to feel or look cool and justify it by saying there's benefits and then genuinely get addicted.
Whether or not anyone wants to admit it most people get into nicotine to validate some illusion of, sex appeal, hard work, "stress" ect.
It's all for appearances! It then becomes an addiction
5 days in, brother!! Dont tell them nicotine helps, it doesnt, need stress relief? There million better and more effective healthy ways. Nicotine doesnt help!!!!!! Kill it from your systemmmm
Are you gay bro be honest
hes helping people, stfu
Im pretty sure he has a wife and a kid idk why it matters if he’s gay or not he is helping thousands of people quitting substances that’s more important than his sexual orientation
Dude yeah what haha. It’s irrelevant what his sexual preferences are, he’s a lifesaver literally…
you gotta b like 12 lol
I think he’s interested
