    Here's a tip: Don't let your body feel like you need nicotine. Just have the right mindset! Remembering a time when you didn't smoke, will make you realize you don't need it and you carry on a little easier. Embracing each symptom of the nicotine withdrawal, will help you go through it easily and quit smoking for good. Stay strong folks and don't give up even if you fail. Very informative video! Thanks for sharing Dr. Frank!👋❤

    Quit cold turkey day 11 - can go physically the other direction from the craving watch out late at night insomnia I ordered a thc 1g but physically that morning outside kept going in the other direction away from the product and in the heat and the sweat following through like Dr. Frank says - the accomplishment of not acting on that crave released my inner power and inner strength again for a day today. Outside is hot and humid sweating it out literally that discomfort it's not logical but the movement works. Thank you Dr. Frank

    Hey Dr. Frank, I know this video is a little old so I doubt you’ll see this. But I am on day 91 without nicotine and am still struggling with brain fog and serious depression. Should I be concerned and talk to a doctor? Or is that normal? I am beginning to think this is never going to get better and losing hope.

    • @AddictionMindset
      @AddictionMindset  Рік тому +1

      At 91 days that does seem to be a bit odd especially with the serious depression. A doctor may choose to prescribe you something to like wellbutrin… you could also try taking the supplement NAC and if that helps. With that being said the only information I have on you is this comment. Normally I would have other questions.

    • @D0GMVN

      @@AddictionMindset So the depression comes in waves to be honest, I will go generally like 4-5 days with very little, then 2-3 with pretty bad depression. Then back to normal again, though the brain fog generally persists constantly. I also quit drinking alcohol the same day, and never smoke weed, I work out several times per week and drink a ton of water. I’ve heard that after 3 months or so is when the brain should be generally resetting itself from a dopamine deficiency, but I am losing a bit of hope. I hope that clears up some questions. :)

    Vaping is extremely addictive psychology wise for me. Nicotine from cigarettes gives one a buzz but Nicotine from a vape gives you an intense rush but it only lasts a few seconds which leaves you wanting to hit it again and vapes are so portable and easy to use that people end up vaping all day. Fast onset equals more addictiveness!!

    Even tho vaping was meant to help people quit smoking. And that might be all they want it to be for. The thing to understand is that people like different things. Vaping is very different from smoking some people who like vaping might not like smoking. And even tho it has to help smokers quit. I don't think it should be looked at like they have to be a ex smoker to vape. Because they are two very different things. Saying don't vape if you don't smoke. Is kind of like saying don't touch weed if you don't smoke tobabbo. But they are two different things

    I think ex smokers could have a lot more then possible good genetics as to why they might not get sick. Because if they had smoked for longer or smoked more a day. Or smoked a stronger brand or smoked at 10. Or even quit at a older age. Know one knowns what might of happened if the ex smoker did something differently.

    I've given up smoking 4 days ago. Currently experiencing heavy brain fog. How long does it last? And how to lessen the effect?

    4 months no alcohol 4 days no nicotine and a 1 month without weed. Weed was easy, alcohol was so so, nicotine feels like hell

      It takes time my friend, think about gaining not quitting, you are actually gaining things in life that you lost (Money, time, health, relationships...), 90 days is the minimum that the brain rewire so be patient, god is with people that have patient.
