@@highmedic2351 Yeah it is. You want something in your mouth, gum, lollipop, a p*nis, ect. My boyfriend was once a really bad smoker now all he needs is gum
Ashamed to say I gave into temptation a few times & took a couple of puffs 😞 But I only smoked 3 cig. I was smoking a pack a day. As of now I haven't smoked for 3 days. I feel so defeated cannot understand why I can't just throw them away completely. I am not an addictive type of person. I have quit drinking alcohol, no problem. I quit pain pills after a major trauma, no problem. Coffee , soda, Marijuana ! These damned cigarettes just have a hold on me. Trying not to kick myself because I have made progress & I am not giving up. Thank you all for asking & sorry to disappoint.
I smoked for 30yrs. Just quit 5 days ago. Yes, the withdrawals are terrible. But the 2 heart attacks at 59yrs old were worse. Withdrawls are starting to go away. I'm so freaking proud of myself!!!!
It's all in your head! Stop thinking about it. Think of how sweet life will be when you can do stuff without coughing up a lung. Smoking effects you all kinds of ways you don't realize. It can make you heal more slowly than other people because your blood flow is restricted so your body doesn't get good clean oxygenated healthy blood thru the body like it should. It's just gonna feel better after that long. I smoked probably a little over 30 yrs too. And I wasn't one of those amateur dabblers. A pack a day plus. Since I was 16. But I dabbled from the age of 7. Yes, 7. One day very soon, you're going to have a sudden aversion to the smell of cigarettes. You'll have to clean everything. Everything. Even if you didn't smoke in the house. You still drug it in there on you. Ya never know how bad you been walking around stinkin all your life until you quit. Hang in there. You got this!
My husband smoked 2 1/2 packs & 20 roll cigarettes a day then he got sick drs said from smoking he quit cold turkey ,with his cigarettes in his pocket to who wins him or the cigarettes,now it’s been 20 years 3 months 67 years and old .so many have followed his footsteps because they know how he was. So they said if he can do it so can we ,but he has to have his thermos of black coffee every day he drinks in those small coffee cups ,I also cut my sugar for 2years now ,I don’t even crave sugar at all

@@BilalHamdi-si7ht Haven’t smoked since. I still want one really bad though. Sucks. I think this will stick with me forever. I just stay away from cigarettes.
I was a pack a day smoker for 24 years and quit cold turkey. Thankfully my withdrawals weren’t bad at all. Best advice; you’re stronger than cigarettes. You can do this!
GREAT way of looking at it!!!! Im here on this video because that voice is telling me to go buy a pack. That saying you just said is the best thing I've read. Thank you!!!
As a 21 years old from Italy, i really appreciate the fact that someone still sends this message to everyone. I quit a year ago after 6 years of hand-rolled tobacco and i feel a lot better. Keep grindin' bro
ok if you guys want to quit, the trick is keep busy for three days straight, if you feel like you cant breathe after waking up in the morning so just do 10 push ups break then 15 and try to connect the nicotine throat hit to the same feeling of out of breath from the push ups. then after a while use the saved up 15 a pack to treat your self somthing nice
Withdrawal from nicotine in largely a myth. I smoked three packs a day for ten years. I stopped cold turkey. For about 3 days I felt like a wanted a cigarette. But that was it. No nausea, no phantom side effects. The worst my withdrawal got was the exact same feeling like when I wanted a smoke at work and couldn’t have one. And after three days the desire to smoke went away. And I fucking loved smoking. I suspect withdrawal is a myth made up by the tobacco industry to keep us smoking out of fear. You can do it. I promise.
I smoked for over 30 years. Im on day 26. Yes, there are withdraws. My throat hurts, couldnt sleep at night in the beginning. There is also wierd tasting chest congestion. Basically it feels like a cold.
@@talulatree5297 I definitely think I’m the outlier. Most people I’ve talked to have definitely have some withdrawal symptoms. I didn’t mean to downplay anyone else’s struggle. Glad you quit my friend. 💪
1) "withdrawal from nicotine is largely a myth"/ "I suspect it was created by the tobacco companies" 2) "I definitely think I'm an outlier" Can you see the contradiction? How can you believe both? Drugs affect everyone differently because everyone has a different liver enzyme profile, and the liver enzymes are what metabolize the chemicals that we put in our bodies. There are definitely outliers, some medications do not work on some people, because the liver enzyme profile either produces too many or too few of the enzyme(s) that metabolize that certain chemical or chemical compound. There are many possibilities in regards to why you didn't experience heavy withdrawals when other people do, but one explanation could be that your liver is a fast metabolizer of nicotine.
The longer you smoke the harder it gets to quit. It’s not just a mental addiction anymore, if you don’t smoke you get physically ill. On top of that you have straight up anxiety attacks. All of that is ON TOP of the mental addiction, the routine and battles in your mind. Also, if you have smoked for a very long time, once you do quit, for let’s say 3 years, you STILL crave cigarettes. It never fully goes away. All it takes is one smoke after that point and your back on it hooked. The stuff is as addictive as heroin. You have to live a certain way just to keep clean, it doesn’t just go away. It’s a constant struggle. And you will hear people who have quit saying stuff like “one day at a time” for that very reason. It gets much easier the longer you go, but it’s always there tucked away in the back of your mind. I think a lot of people confuse addiction with something like a sickness that can be cured, it’s more akin to a disease that can only be managed to a point. But also remember addiction is not black and white and there are varying levels of it. That’s why for some people it is far easier to quit than others and some can truly quit and not be affected by it at all. It all depends on your brain chemistry, how long you used the drug, how much of the drug you used and finally the way your body adapted to the drug. It’s horrible. Don’t smoke kids.
That's exactly what happened to me, I was profusely sweating, my stomach was turning and in pain . I also had anxiety attacks. I did puff on a cigarette and as soon as I did I stopped sweating. I just have to suffer the effects.
I may be weird, but there's a spot inside my brain that "hurts" since I'm not giving it cigarettes. I don't know how else to describe it. When a part of me begins to pay attention to that area of the brain, I force the attention back to the task I am performing. I tell it to help me orient toward what is right or die and be burned away. If it persists, I violently grab that part of me, stab it through the "face," set it on fire, and watch it burn. Like I said, I'm probably weird, but the few times I've done that, it seems to keep all the rest of me focused on the task at hand and afraid to even look at what I've begun calling the "wound." Sometimes you have to separate the wheat from the chaff. Who knows how many parts of you are aiming toward your own destruction? You don't need those parts.
Yes!! Not only with cigarettes but with any addiction. I just finished tapering off a medication I got addicted to. I quit cigarettes 6 years ago. The fear of withdrawal and change made it almost impossible but knowing the cycle would continue unless I made a change was profound. Life is already rough, let's not make it any harder on our body. ❤
Life is already rough lets not make it any harder on our bodies WOW that's deep, I'm currently 24 hours without a cigarette and it feels good but it sucks... prayers and determination will get me to day 2
"The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom," meaning if you think through the consequences of continuing to do something you know you shouldn't do, you'll understand they outweigh the consequences of stopping that thing. Put that conceived reality behind you. Let it chase you toward freedom. This is how I quit. Every time I want a cigarette, I meditate on the image of myself lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines, while the little family I have left are around me, crying and in misery. I imagine myself, barely able to breath, and regretful at not having made the right choice while there was still time, knowing that all of this was my fault. So far that has been a sufficient image of Hell to chase me forward, away from the cigarettes. Also, if you're thinking about quitting, stop making excuses about finishing the pack you're currently smoking first, because you don't want to waste money or whatever. I did that a lot. The waste of money lies in buying the damn things just for the privilege of feeling like shit and ensuring the Hell I described above becomes a reality. Good luck and God bless.
I quit a week ago. I’ve done it many times and usually it’s not hard, the decision and first day are usually the hardest for me. I hope it’ll stick this time. The thing that got me is when in one of the videos Dr Frank said why to be scared from the withdrawal syndrome, you go through it every time between cigarettes. And it’s so true, when I finish one cigarette i already think or plan when I smoke the next one. You’re in a constant state of withdrawal and it’s exhausting. I just want to stop being a slave to it ‼️
I’ve smoked for 18 years and on the 1st of January I walked away from it cold turkey, I’ve found that nicotine is easy enough to do away with its the many triggers I’ve created over the years with the act of drawing on a cigarette that’s been hard to change. With a true ready heart and the courage to have the will-power we can do anything, I was told it’ll take 30 days to break that habit and as of today I do believe there’s some truth in that. I’m doing good and have saved a lot of money already, I am free from this addiction and will continue this journey. Remember you can do it don’t fear the act of doing something positive for yourself, you got this.
After quitting for five months, I experienced severe anxiety and depression . However, as soon as I resumed smoking, my anxiety and depression subsided.
@@WhatEvilLooksLike ik she didnt respond, but i was in a similar situation. i didn't smoke much, usually 2 ciggs, at most 4 a day. but it was consistent. i had the same feeling of anxiety when my pack was almost empty... and this huge dopamine rush just walking out of the store with a fresh pack. and then i'd smoke them whenever after a long stint of work. i quit cold turkey, and now its been almost a year i haven't touched a cigarette and don't plan on ever touching one again.
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I suffered severe trauma several years ago after divorce with my husband. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my son recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Congrats on your recovery. Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
So great to hear. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
Hey mate! I have severe anxiety and depression and take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Belgium don't know much about these. I'm so glad they help you. Really need them too.
YES very sure of Dr.medshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I didn't have withdrawals, it came naturally once I set my mind to it.. You have to really realize how terrible it is & probably have to go through a traumatic experience with smoking. Mines was coughing.. I couldn't stop coughing which was causing me to not barely be able to breathe.. It was the worst experience I had while smoking cigarettes..
Thank you so much for this short video, I’m one of those it makes every excuse in the book I quit for a couple months then go back to it because something horrible happened. I’m only hurting myself and I’m smarter than that. I subscribed and I’ll be watching more of your videos.
2 of my brothers passed away back to back within 10 days apart in their 50s because of smoking! As a matter of fact I took the ashes of my first brother to the other and he died the next day! Don’t smoke ! Please!
I’ve most recently stopped smoking for 14 months now and here are the things that helped me: 1) being disgusted with myself 2) having a partner wishing to quit smoking as well (I know it’s not possible for everyone) 3) my daughter growing up (I could walk away to smoke but when she got to a certain age, it was no longer possible; and I could not let her smell, much less see a smoking parent. 4) remembering that I quit smoking after finding out I was pregnant Those are the things that worked for me and I believe that every smoker wishing to quit has the ability to do so.
I feel absolutely out of control every time I quit. When I quit for a year It never got better. I finally gave in because I wanted to scream but the world is full of zombies and no one can handle the people who know the world isn't right at all. They just go through the motions. But god forbid you have a "bad" habit. Smoking is more than a habit. It's a prayer. A place to put fear and rage in a cloud. Natives still understand it is medicine, or it was before the poison cartel got ahold of it.
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior , I became spiritually born again and I have to give HIM the credit and Glory for changing my desires and now I don't do drugs , drink , or smoke 🖐️
This may not work for everyone but what helped me is switching to vaping, and then slowly reducing the nicotine % until I was at 0, and then all I had left was the oral habit which was easy to kick after I got rid of the nicotine.
I dont smoke from fear of withdrawal i smoke as a tool to deal with anxiety and bc its safer than shooting heroin or taking pills so i guess im saying one demon at a time i currently use it as a crutch
I'm 16 and smoke half a pack everyday, more if it's a slow one. I'm slowly killing myself, death is not the thing I'm scared of it's the sicknesses smoking brings. I don't want to go through gasping for air whenever I take a flight of stairs. It's the only thing I do that harms my physical health, otherwise I workout and am athletic, almost never eat junk food and consume very little to no sugar. It's come to a point where it's become a part of me (It's been a year since I started) some moments don't feel right when I don't have a cigarette in my hand.
Nicotine withdrawal is barely anything tbh. I was vaping 5% nic all day every day and thought i was gonna go thru withdrawal and just never did. If u dont hit ur vape/ a cig first thing in the morning ur literally off it that easy
Haven't smoke for 8 years. I'm 34 and I still miss smoking. When I quit it was like farwell to a best friend kept me grounded and sane while a lot of BS was happening around. I'm only speaking for myself, if smoking didn't have any type of life altering and health consequences I would go right back to it.
bro i tried quitting, its been 4 days now i didnt had cigarretes but my heart bear is now issregular, i ma having shortness of breath, i alos got my chest xray which is fine but still its like i am disconnected to this world, confusion and unable to enjoy life and concentrate, my doctors suggested no to quit right away rather slow and steady or go for nicotine pouch. what do you say
@@AliKhurram-up2fs hey I don’t know you but I know how you feel I’m with you in spirit. I believe you can do it. But be kind to yourself because I went through hell and still struggling it plays with your mind not receiving nicotine and especially if you don’t make enough dopamine in your brain naturally If that makes sense.
I'm 54yrs old and my drs just told me I have emphysema and nodules in my lungs ,now I never had an issue stopping cold turkey, all the times I picked up a drink I'd end up in jail ,I had 19yrs of uninterrupted soberity and I didn't get not 1 withdrawal because I knew I wasn't getting one for at least 9 months and I swear on my mother's grave I did not even crave any cigarettes when I was in jail now I'm told I could have cancer and I'm having a hard time 🛑 and staying stopped ,I'm an addict too. For the life of me I don't have a clue why I can't stay stopped, I can't blame anyone except myself others can can't!! My mind needs swift dope slap and I need kick in my ass ,please if I could ask for 🙏 prayers to stop& stay stopped just for 1 day ,and prayers for the next day & so on & so on 😢this is bad ,I want to watch my 2 grandchildren grow up and I want to have enough strength to play with them both ,right now I can't retain my strength at all ,im vitamin deficient and have been on vitamins from my dr for 3 months now I have a dog for my PTSD and she helps soooooo much but she can't quit for me everything smells like smoke ,in September on my birthday I went out to eat with my father and step mother, my father always coughs after my father gives me his and a kiss on the cheek and says I love u ,,Well 😢this was the first time my Father DID NOT Cough at all when we were saying goodbye, I came inside and started to cry for joy it's been so many years since he has not coughed I can not ever I think I was 13years old, thats when I started smoking cigarettes, I'm shaking as I text this and I just got a wicked headache and 🙏🕊I'm an addict and alcoholic my name is Meredith ,thank u all 😢❤
One thing that's helped me in the past is fighting really hard really fast. Basically quit cold turkey and if you're craving, go out and light one up like a blunt without puffing on it and just watch it burn. The cravings will be insane but afterwards throw it away and take a shower and you'll feel really good. It also helps to be around people that smoke, because the more intense the cravings are in the moment, the less ambient cravings you'll have. At least it worked for me
After 20+ attempts, I finally quit and have stayed quit for nearly a year now, and i can tell you for a fact that the detox is the worst of it and once you are through, it gets easier. You wanna quit smoking? Get too busy to smoke. Feeling withdrawals? Channel the tension into work. Seriously, just turn it into productivity. It. Works. If you want it to that is.
Jesus set me free, every craving I got I prayed to him and after 3 months no cravings left. I was addicted for 6 years. Life is better now! You guys can do it
Guys helping me so much lately. Theres light at the end of this tunnel. We all just gotta find it. Much love and good luck to all. Were all gonna get there eventually ❤
I got 5 weeks....you simply have to make a positive lifestyle choice. It definitely does get easier....the benefits are incredible...your sense of smell comes back and it's wonderful.
No lie man I’m 15 and stupid been smoking since I was 12 I quit I’m on day 3 now going strong I won’t allow myself to continue I’m also trying to get my friends to quit so far one of my friends are also trying to lay it down. Don’t be scared. Fight through the withdrawals and keep yourself busy you got this. I hope that when I fight through this my friends find the motivation to as well. Maybe it’ll make them want to quit cause I did. I hope it’s not for just me. Wish me luck
Im on my first day of quit smoking its kinda hard for the first day i had a lot cravings to smoke but candies and gums helped.Been smoking for 12 years and i realized this is the time to quit.
Guy takes my Marlboro pack from my center console after he breaks into my car and starts recording shorts about quitting smoking. This world is a crazy world my friend
I literally stopped because I wanted to prove it can be done and me being hard headed and wanting to be right did it lol the power of being a jerk is a powerful thing 😂
Itinerary patches are extresmly cheap and have helped me tremendously. Also Harvard did a study a while back and found out that nicotine isn't addicting. the tabbaco companies put Pyrizine(s) into the cigarettes which 100% are addicting. Nicotine is neuro protective too btw, main reason why I still use the pouches.
So ready! I’m a closet smoker mostly. I have a love hate relationship with it but lately have been so over it I know I am ready to quit. It makes my skin feel so gross
Dude your videos have been helping me so much. I think I’ve had depression for a long time and I think part of it is to do with my addictions to nicotine and cannabis. Every time I quit cannabis and nicotine my life does a complete 180 but then I relapse and it goes back. I’m trying to switch my default and kill the negative voice in my brain. Your videos are encouraging and inspiring. You’re doing gods work and I thank you for your virtual support.
4 days clean! Hardest part is the cravings like in the morning or after eating. Just gotta put your focus somewhere else, been jogging. Chewing gum helps a lot 2
I quit after 10+ years of smoking. Tried and tried but I couldn’t do it until I really wanted to do it. I slowly weaned myself off of nicotine using an e cig. Took about a year. Just took it slow and one day at a time. Ran my first marathon 5 years later and have ran 3 since. You can do it.
Just chew gum. Boom! Problem solved🤯

I’m a smoker who (for the first ‘REAL’ time in my life) is SERIOUSLY ready to quit.
One thing I worry about constantly is how much I ENJOY (and look forward to) “Smoke breaks”.
No matter what I’m doing, in the back of my mind, I’m always thinking about that smoke break because it gives me a reason to stop, rest and relax for 10 minutes before resuming whatever I’m doing (cleaning, cooking, etc. - just any type of work). I love that it’s almost like a scheduled timer for 10 minutes where I can remove myself from the task at hand for a short break (whatever it might be).
When you actually QUIT smoking, what REPLACES that ‘Smoke break’ that’s on a mental 10-minute timer - that you can do and more importantly - look forward to??
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It might sound kind of trivial but this really concerns me as I prepare to begin this new journey…
No more perfectly timed 10-minute smoke breaks for me… 🥺😢

ok if you guys want to quit, the trick is keep busy for three days straight, if you feel like you cant breathe after waking up in the morning so just do 10 push ups break then 15 and try to connect the nicotine throat hit to the same feeling of out of breath from the push ups. then after a while use the saved up 15 a pack to treat your self somthing nice
Withdrawal from nicotine in largely a myth. I smoked three packs a day for ten years. I stopped cold turkey. For about 3 days I felt like a wanted a cigarette. But that was it. No nausea, no phantom side effects. The worst my withdrawal got was the exact same feeling like when I wanted a smoke at work and couldn’t have one. And after three days the desire to smoke went away. And I fucking loved smoking.
I suspect withdrawal is a myth made up by the tobacco industry to keep us smoking out of fear.
You can do it. I promise.
I smoked for over 30 years. Im on day 26. Yes, there are withdraws. My throat hurts, couldnt sleep at night in the beginning. There is also wierd tasting chest congestion. Basically it feels like a cold.
@@talulatree5297 I definitely think I’m the outlier. Most people I’ve talked to have definitely have some withdrawal symptoms. I didn’t mean to downplay anyone else’s struggle. Glad you quit my friend. 💪
It is personal... I take antidepressants...and I can not skip it.. but there are people who skip it at the same dose... without feeling a thing..
@@lsd938 excellent point. Most of us react differently to things. I’m thankful I’m one of the lucky ones who didn’t have a hard time with quitting.
1) "withdrawal from nicotine is largely a myth"/ "I suspect it was created by the tobacco companies"
2) "I definitely think I'm an outlier"
Can you see the contradiction?
How can you believe both?
Drugs affect everyone differently because everyone has a different liver enzyme profile, and the liver enzymes are what metabolize the chemicals that we put in our bodies.
There are definitely outliers, some medications do not work on some people, because the liver enzyme profile either produces too many or too few of the enzyme(s) that metabolize that certain chemical or chemical compound.
There are many possibilities in regards to why you didn't experience heavy withdrawals when other people do, but one explanation could be that your liver is a fast metabolizer of nicotine.
The longer you smoke the harder it gets to quit. It’s not just a mental addiction anymore, if you don’t smoke you get physically ill. On top of that you have straight up anxiety attacks. All of that is ON TOP of the mental addiction, the routine and battles in your mind. Also, if you have smoked for a very long time, once you do quit, for let’s say 3 years, you STILL crave cigarettes. It never fully goes away. All it takes is one smoke after that point and your back on it hooked.
The stuff is as addictive as heroin. You have to live a certain way just to keep clean, it doesn’t just go away. It’s a constant struggle. And you will hear people who have quit saying stuff like “one day at a time” for that very reason. It gets much easier the longer you go, but it’s always there tucked away in the back of your mind. I think a lot of people confuse addiction with something like a sickness that can be cured, it’s more akin to a disease that can only be managed to a point.
But also remember addiction is not black and white and there are varying levels of it. That’s why for some people it is far easier to quit than others and some can truly quit and not be affected by it at all. It all depends on your brain chemistry, how long you used the drug, how much of the drug you used and finally the way your body adapted to the drug.
It’s horrible. Don’t smoke kids.
That's exactly what happened to me, I was profusely sweating, my stomach was turning and in pain . I also had anxiety attacks. I did puff on a cigarette and as soon as I did I stopped sweating. I just have to suffer the effects.
Once started it's gonne , I'm smoking for 15 years + if I stop I can't even walk off my bed , I mean if I don't smoke weed
I’m 6 days into Quitting. I’m an emotional mess. Looking forward to hearing your free tips as I could use them right about now. 😩
DON'T GIVE UP!! YOU will feel so much better if you don't go back. Challenge yourself. You are stronger than a nasty burning leaf. You got this!!!
I'm on my second hour.
@@RatedRLouisN-theWrestleStory thanks so much. 🤗 it’s hard but I’m doing it and taking one day at a time.
I may be weird, but there's a spot inside my brain that "hurts" since I'm not giving it cigarettes. I don't know how else to describe it.
When a part of me begins to pay attention to that area of the brain, I force the attention back to the task I am performing. I tell it to help me orient toward what is right or die and be burned away. If it persists, I violently grab that part of me, stab it through the "face," set it on fire, and watch it burn.
Like I said, I'm probably weird, but the few times I've done that, it seems to keep all the rest of me focused on the task at hand and afraid to even look at what I've begun calling the "wound."
Sometimes you have to separate the wheat from the chaff. Who knows how many parts of you are aiming toward your own destruction? You don't need those parts.
@@troyhavok8605 that's the most bizarre interesting description I've ever heard.
Yes!! Not only with cigarettes but with any addiction. I just finished tapering off a medication I got addicted to. I quit cigarettes 6 years ago. The fear of withdrawal and change made it almost impossible but knowing the cycle would continue unless I made a change was profound. Life is already rough, let's not make it any harder on our body. ❤
Powerful words. Life is already rough let’s not make it harder on our bodies. Mind if I steal that?😅
Was your anxiety bad?
Life is already rough lets not make it any harder on our bodies WOW that's deep, I'm currently 24 hours without a cigarette and it feels good but it sucks... prayers and determination will get me to day 2
"The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom," meaning if you think through the consequences of continuing to do something you know you shouldn't do, you'll understand they outweigh the consequences of stopping that thing.
Put that conceived reality behind you. Let it chase you toward freedom.
This is how I quit. Every time I want a cigarette, I meditate on the image of myself lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines, while the little family I have left are around me, crying and in misery. I imagine myself, barely able to breath, and regretful at not having made the right choice while there was still time, knowing that all of this was my fault.
So far that has been a sufficient image of Hell to chase me forward, away from the cigarettes.
Also, if you're thinking about quitting, stop making excuses about finishing the pack you're currently smoking first, because you don't want to waste money or whatever. I did that a lot. The waste of money lies in buying the damn things just for the privilege of feeling like shit and ensuring the Hell I described above becomes a reality.
Good luck and God bless.
Oh, my goodness
You're so right
I do that constantly
1 week of fear or a lifetime of fear
One week?? BS
6 months
@@Infinityzx959 yes that's more realistic
I quit a week ago. I’ve done it many times and usually it’s not hard, the decision and first day are usually the hardest for me. I hope it’ll stick this time. The thing that got me is when in one of the videos Dr Frank said why to be scared from the withdrawal syndrome, you go through it every time between cigarettes. And it’s so true, when I finish one cigarette i already think or plan when I smoke the next one. You’re in a constant state of withdrawal and it’s exhausting. I just want to stop being a slave to it ‼️
I’ve smoked for 18 years and on the 1st of January I walked away from it cold turkey, I’ve found that nicotine is easy enough to do away with its the many triggers I’ve created over the years with the act of drawing on a cigarette that’s been hard to change. With a true ready heart and the courage to have the will-power we can do anything, I was told it’ll take 30 days to break that habit and as of today I do believe there’s some truth in that. I’m doing good and have saved a lot of money already, I am free from this addiction and will continue this journey. Remember you can do it don’t fear the act of doing something positive for yourself, you got this.
After quitting for five months, I experienced severe anxiety and depression . However, as soon as I resumed smoking, my anxiety and depression subsided.
After video ends: alrighty..🔥🚬😮💨
Sad.
LMFAOOOOO but fr im considering quitting
Quit smoking with Honeyrose 👌
Bro got Choco lava cake instead of his lungs 💀 anyways quit bruhh u will die
Yea fr😂
I get anxiety when my cigarette pack is low. I only smoke about 2 a day but just knowing I have them is what I'm addicted to.
Same here I keep with me , and smoke also ton a a lot 😓🙃
2 ciggs a day? Or packs?
Did you stop?
@@WhatEvilLooksLike ik she didnt respond, but i was in a similar situation. i didn't smoke much, usually 2 ciggs, at most 4 a day. but it was consistent. i had the same feeling of anxiety when my pack was almost empty... and this huge dopamine rush just walking out of the store with a fresh pack. and then i'd smoke them whenever after a long stint of work.
i quit cold turkey, and now its been almost a year i haven't touched a cigarette and don't plan on ever touching one again.
They really need to sell singles, having a whole pack is what makes me itch…sometimes all I need is one
Going through horrible withdrawals trying to stay strong 😢 it’s been my life challenge
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I suffered severe trauma several years ago after divorce with my husband. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my son recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Congrats on your recovery. Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why
anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
So great to hear. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
Hey mate! I have severe anxiety and depression and
take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those
psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Belgium don't know much about these. I'm so glad they help you. Really need them too.
YES very sure of Dr.medshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I didn't have withdrawals, it came naturally once I set my mind to it.. You have to really realize how terrible it is & probably have to go through a traumatic experience with smoking. Mines was coughing.. I couldn't stop coughing which was causing me to not barely be able to breathe.. It was the worst experience I had while smoking cigarettes..
Quit on monday from nicotine pouches!
Thank you so much for this short video, I’m one of those it makes every excuse in the book I quit for a couple months then go back to it because something horrible happened. I’m only hurting myself and I’m smarter than that. I subscribed and I’ll be watching more of your videos.
Very well said. I’m definitely checking out your page. Also big hopes that this finds ones who seek 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are a hero 🙏 god bless you doctor
Yeah this guy was much more trustworthy before we found out it was an obvious ploy for his company to increase sales of snake oil 😬
2 of my brothers passed away back to back within 10 days apart in their 50s because of smoking! As a matter of fact I took the ashes of my first brother to the other and he died the next day! Don’t smoke ! Please!
I’ve most recently stopped smoking for 14 months now and here are the things that helped me:
1) being disgusted with myself
2) having a partner wishing to quit smoking as well (I know it’s not possible for everyone)
3) my daughter growing up (I could walk away to smoke but when she got to a certain age, it was no longer possible; and I could not let her smell, much less see a smoking parent.
4) remembering that I quit smoking after finding out I was pregnant
Those are the things that worked for me and I believe that every smoker wishing to quit has the ability to do so.
On point brother 🔥
I feel absolutely out of control every time I quit. When I quit for a year It never got better. I finally gave in because I wanted to scream but the world is full of zombies and no one can handle the people who know the world isn't right at all. They just go through the motions. But god forbid you have a "bad" habit. Smoking is more than a habit. It's a prayer. A place to put fear and rage in a cloud. Natives still understand it is medicine, or it was before the poison cartel got ahold of it.
Doc! Just want you to know that you’re a blessing! I’m currently in my withdrawal stage day #7 and hearing you helps! Keep fighting the good fight!
💪😎
I was a chain smoke from last 10 years and now i stoped smoking, as per my experience i am telling you---- Mind is everything ❤
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior , I became spiritually born again and I have to give HIM the credit and Glory for changing my desires and now I don't do drugs , drink , or smoke 🖐️
This may not work for everyone but what helped me is switching to vaping, and then slowly reducing the nicotine % until I was at 0, and then all I had left was the oral habit which was easy to kick after I got rid of the nicotine.
I wouldn’t recommend vaping for anyone tbh I feel it’s way worse to get addicted to cape then cigarettes
thank you very much for the inspiration for me to quit everyone smoker need to hear you at-least once
I dont smoke from fear of withdrawal i smoke as a tool to deal with anxiety and bc its safer than shooting heroin or taking pills so i guess im saying one demon at a time i currently use it as a crutch
I'm 16 and smoke half a pack everyday, more if it's a slow one. I'm slowly killing myself, death is not the thing I'm scared of it's the sicknesses smoking brings. I don't want to go through gasping for air whenever I take a flight of stairs. It's the only thing I do that harms my physical health, otherwise I workout and am athletic, almost never eat junk food and consume very little to no sugar. It's come to a point where it's become a part of me (It's been a year since I started) some moments don't feel right when I don't have a cigarette in my hand.
Just pick up a vape then like the rest of Gen Z has
You must have super weak lungs. Most people get like that when they're past sixty and been smoking a lifetime

Withdrawal is the only reason smokers light up. It gets no worse when you smoke your last cigarette.
Nicotine withdrawal is barely anything tbh. I was vaping 5% nic all day every day and thought i was gonna go thru withdrawal and just never did. If u dont hit ur vape/ a cig first thing in the morning ur literally off it that easy
Nicotine wd is more mental than physical
Haven't smoke for 8 years. I'm 34 and I still miss smoking. When I quit it was like farwell to a best friend kept me grounded and sane while a lot of BS was happening around.
I'm only speaking for myself, if smoking didn't have any type of life altering and health consequences I would go right back to it.
Exact thoughts, the only friend on whom we can always count on.🥺
Really bro!!
just quit smoking 2 weeks ago..

I’m quitting now. Going completely sober for 365 days, alcohol, weed, and nicotine. I’ve been here before it’s gonna happen this time
This guy is a legend!
I quit and immediately a few days started my time of the month. Smoking really doesn’t help heal the body nor soothe the mind, at least for me
One thing that's helped me in the past is fighting really hard really fast. Basically quit cold turkey and if you're craving, go out and light one up like a blunt without puffing on it and just watch it burn. The cravings will be insane but afterwards throw it away and take a shower and you'll feel really good. It also helps to be around people that smoke, because the more intense the cravings are in the moment, the less ambient cravings you'll have. At least it worked for me
After 20+ attempts, I finally quit and have stayed quit for nearly a year now, and i can tell you for a fact that the detox is the worst of it and once you are through, it gets easier. You wanna quit smoking? Get too busy to smoke. Feeling withdrawals? Channel the tension into work. Seriously, just turn it into productivity. It. Works. If you want it to that is.
I beat this one thanks doc. Working on the other ones.
I'm neither scared of the consequences nor scared of the withdrawal.
Jesus set me free, every craving I got I prayed to him and after 3 months no cravings left. I was addicted for 6 years. Life is better now! You guys can do it

Itinerary patches are extresmly cheap and have helped me tremendously.
Also Harvard did a study a while back and found out that nicotine isn't addicting.
the tabbaco companies put Pyrizine(s) into the cigarettes which 100% are addicting.
Nicotine is neuro protective too btw, main reason why I still use the pouches.

Dude your videos have been helping me so much. I think I’ve had depression for a long time and I think part of it is to do with my addictions to nicotine and cannabis.
