Well in the first four days I noticed a lot of pain probably cuz my nerves are coming back alive when I'm feeling it and I'm more wound up then a high speed racer racing around and I can't do that because I have chronic arthritis throughout my body a fake ankle and I can't take pills for pain because I don't want my liver getting sauced up any more than it is haaaa
what the hell do you know you never even smoked
i’m on day three. i’m so emotional, cried more than i ever have. and i’m so so angry at everything.
update: it’s been 3 weeks and i’m happier than ever
Keep going you got this
Me too I'm on day 2 and I feel the same minus the crying
Take that hit, you probably already did
Stay strong!! Keep it up!!! Do not get back to it! You suffered 3 days already! Now stick to it. It will pay of. Health before anything!
Tf you crying for😂, you a grown ass adult.. Don't let that shit control you💀🤣🤣
After 10 years of dipping and smoking, I quit both cold turkey. I’m proud to say that I’m on my 7th month of no nicotine use. After quitting, watch out for the 6th month cravings to hit. That was the most challenging time for me mentally. Your brain will tell you “you’ve been able to go without nicotine this long, and little bit right now will be ok.” Don’t give in guys.
What Ive found is I can quit for a week or two, then I think it would be nice if I could use it in moderation , rare occasions, like I do with alcohol; or I just feel bored and I want to "treat" myself, and of course it quickly becomes daily again (Zyn pouches).
Im lucky because I dont get headaches or any serious withdrawal symptoms, it's just very addictive and I get cravings for the first few days of "quitting".
Im still aiming to quit, it's a waste of money and despite being a relatively harmless type of nicotine, it's still bad for you.
Feeling that rn. 😫
What😂😂😂 I wish I saw this a couple months ago.. I quit last year in June and relapsed on December... My relapse was so anticlimactic. I smoked a joint and after that had one cigerette.. and I've smoked every day since. Try again today though
@@aphiwembande8661 Quitting smoking was easy for me, the connection between smoking and a sore throat and bronchitis (haaate those feelings) made it easy. These damn flavored pouches though....keep trying keep trying, dont overstress it.
Big props dude, keep it up
On day 3 right now. Today was def one of the hardest. I know I’m going to make it all the way🤝 just hating the process and hate how I did this to myself in first place
right behind you man just hit day 3 myself
Day 17 from a heavy vaper. It's possible guys. My symptoms were horrendous!
don’t forget to be gentle with yourself and forgive yourself
Feel like 3rd is one of the worst tbh
Yess same here, it's like this is all the damage I did
I am now on day 8. I don't even feel like I need nic anymore. The first 72 hours truly are the hardest. Get through those and you got this!
Day 4. Going good
Hey man just checking in, it’s been 2 months. How you holding up? Have you relapsed? If so, does this reminder help motivate you again? If you’re still going strong, how do you feel?
@@Ali-oc5zj hey man. I did relapse. Unfortunately. I’m actually at the beginning of day 3 again right now. And this comment just gave me the motivation to keep going. It’s tough but I think I can do it for good this time :)
@@rislandmusic hey bro i was just wondering how it's going?
@@-blank-1661 to be honest man it’s been pretty bad. Ive been hitting other peoples a lot. Everytime I do I feel disappointed in myself but I just keep doing it
I’m on day 5 right now, I’ve had cravings and a loss of appetite, a tiny bit of sweating, but overall not terrible. We’re all in this together here, and we’re conquering nicotine once and for all, together.
It’s all about the community!
Omg. I found someone on my timeline.How are you doing. I’m still a little antsie
i get the opposite. i eat like crazy when im off nictoine for too long.
How was ur sleep
I’ve had a loss of appetite as well. Headaches are painful as hell. This shit sucks but it’ll be worth it at the end. Pray this headache goes away.
i smoked for 15 years and overall had nicotine in my blood stream for 15 years straight. The first 3 days i actually had a friend of mine come to my apartment and monitor me / police me for all 3 days because of the brain fog and unyielding shaking and violent outbursts - It felt like my entire blood stream was burning and i wanted to peel my skin off. I also begged for ciggs and tried to leave the apartment so many times and ended up sobbing. After those first 3 days im telling you its like the withdrawal symptom car runs outta gas and by the end of the first week it was all over with and after that all you need is the resolve and if your like me looking at nicotine with disgust to never touch it again.
Loved this comment, thank you
Imagine hard drug withdrawals, let’s have empathy for the people out there struggling! And way to go dude!
That is awfully odd for ONLY nicotine withdrawal.
All these testimonies give me hope ❤
Edit: six weeks free of nicotine, two months free of weed now, and two weeks alcohol free! All the positive testemonies were the tipping point. It hasn’t been easy in the slightest… but I’m doin it ❤️
So proud of you!!! How is it going now?
@@knitsbysami thank you very much! I’m still going solid with weed and nicotine, I unfortunately had a relapse with alcohol last week, but I’m learning from my mistake and trying again ❤️
@@jhiatt1516 that’s still such an amazing milestone that you can be very proud of!! You’re doing amazing
@@knitsbysami thank you so much!
Legend, in the process of quitting weed now myself, going to quit Saturday and do Sober October. Absolutely terrified
This is what the world needs . Realistic descriptions , no force, no advice , just what is real, and you get to choose.
The worst withdraw symptom for me is extremely intense hunger. I can go weeks without craving sweets but now I feel like I could eat an entire bag of sugar.
The same! I'm aware that is normal so I enjoy it!
Just put food into my mouth I don’t care what it is
Body find another dopamine source
How's it going
I’m on day 10!!! But replaced cigarettes with the Juul. How’s everyone doing?
60 days today. I had to revisit this video and leave a comment. It was really tough for me but I made it!
I don’t even think about vaping now after 2 month’s and it’s a thing of the past.
Really if you are struggling, Don’t give up!! It’s worth it and you don’t have to be a slave to nicotine.
One of the best decisions I made looking back now was to quit.
It’s truly hard
How are you doing now did you relapse?
are you still off of it?
It's soooooo hard, smoked for 20+ years got off that & vaped for 6 years & been off it for 3 days & it's taking all my will power to not go by snus or nicotine pouches!
Hey you should try nicotine again, one hit wont hurt 🤗
“Your not giving something up your gaining your life back” All your videos have such motivational moments. Its been day 1 for me since i decided to completely cut off vaping and weed out of my life. Its been a struggle and I’ve failed multiple times😔 but i am trying. I always have to remind myself that the cravings will pass and to distract myself for 10-20 minutes i come watch your videos. Its also nice to read the comments reminds me im not alone with this addiction.
why does work trigger me to smoke, I can go all week just fine when I'm around the house
Triggers your addiction mindset.. I understand that since all my co workers and friends smoke weed and use vapes. I work at a bar so vapes are allowed to be smoke inside which is hard to ignore especially when it smells good smh ... ); wish I never touched it...@@trump45and2zig-zags
about to hit 7 days. the way it went for me is as follows. 6 days 23 hours and 47 minutes in.
Day 1 - Pure pain and cravings
Day 2 - Intense sweating all day and barely sleeping. woke up around 10 times throughout the night
Day 3 - Sweating persists but sleeping gets better and airways clear up during the night causing immense relief
Day 4 - Sweating stops sleeping continues to improve
Day 5 - Cravings start to become less and less
Day 6 - Mood goes back to normal and im a lot happier.
Day 7 - Proud of myself and feel im strong.
How is it going?
Keep going!!!!
You still on the quitting train? If you are, I'm proud of you. I'm starting my journey of quitting tomorrow morning. (I work night shift)
@@brombou I believe in you. Im 6 months off. Not having nicotine dictate your day has been the most amazing gift ever! You wont regret it. Also longs walks (fresh air) and working out is the best way to handle the withdrawals. Tooth picks and gum is also great!
Try quiting heroin ... you'll wonder how quiting cigarettes was a battle.
Thank you for this video, I saw the ad on TikTok, instead of buying a new pack of pods when I run out I’m throwing my device away and start chewing gum to get my mind off the cravings, I will keep you updated as my journey goes on!!
As someone who struggles with some pretty serious mental illnesses, as well as a recently quit nicotine addiction… I PROMISE IT GETS BETTER!!!! I think it effected me much worse due to the baseline depression and anxiety I experienced before quitting, but I was just about bed ridden for the first 3 days (got up once in a while but I was nowhere near functional) insomnia has always been an issue for me as well, but my already low sleep per night was cut in half when I quit. (I should add that I was strictly vaping, but half a novo 4 pod per day filled with 5.5% juice is a LOT of nic) On the morning of day 4 it was like magic, I think it was the first time in the last 4 years that I didn’t have to force a smile, and I found myself laughing at random things.. day 5-6 and my energy and physical strength not only came back, but I feel twice as physically strong as before I quit. Now I’m on day 9, zero desire to relapse and happier than ever. Some physical withdrawals still persisting like minor headaches and noticeable increased appetite, but I think this might just be the best I can get without serious work on my mental health aside from the nic. If you’re quitting right now, I don’t care HOW painful and stressful it is.. You’re either going to suffer for a few more days, or never reach your full potential for the rest of your life. Keep pushing❤
Edited for some tips:
-You don’t need to cold Turkey like me, but at least when you’re sure you want to be fully done, throw every single thing you could use to inhale nic away and never look back.
-Set a sleep schedule, and just stay in bed if you can’t sleep, it helps eventually
-Do not call yourself someone “quitting nic”, call yourself someone who “used to vape/smoke” mindset helps a lot
-Meditation helped me ignore the cravings
-Make a lot of food when you do and store it, trust me you’re gonna want to eat again before you want to cook
-drink way more water than you think you should
-replace your most common vaping times (for me the morning and right before bed) with something natural that you enjoy, and do it consistently
-get active when you’re missing nic a lot
-never watch people who vape or even talk about vaping in their vids for the first few days, watch vids like this instead
-Don’t make any big life decisions while withdrawing, you are not thinking straight, even if you “feel better” until at least 9 days, and I’ve heard it’s actually 2-4 weeks
hey there, your story reminds me of my own and it was great to read how well you are doing. how are you these days, still not smoking?
Day three here, my fixation for vaping is crazy after my morning coffee. I broke down and bought a vape. I was so disgusted with my self by the time I got home I busted it with a hammer. Please I hope this gets better
day 2 for me, any update??
man i notice it as well with coffee. i gotta stop drinking coffee cause it triggers my withdrawals
like you I was two months ago and today I evaporate without nicotine just for fun
I was addicted to some form of nicotine for 38 years. Today marks 3 months without any nicotine.
I would like to thank you for being the best distraction with a calming voice during withdrawal.
To those struggling: you’ve got this!
After three months, do you regain cognitive function, focus?
@@LightRenowned I'm at 4 months now and no, I haven't noticed a difference in cognitive function. I'm a lot less anxious now though.
@@LightRenowned cognitive function returns but it takes a bit. It took me around a month for the fog to start dissipating
it’s been 24 hours for me and i’m so excited to kick this habit
Same here. Stay strong 💪
Im on day two 💯
@@aydnuick2202 howd it go
My first two days was bad. But not as bad as I thought tbh. Only when I think about vaping is when I crave. When I go to work, I get distracted. I try not to think about vaping.
Have had more sleep since which is good. After that just smoothe sailing. Am on day 9!✊🏾💪🏾
@@dysonj3 How you feel right now?
This is great! So glad I found you guys when I did. Started vaping last year at age 35 and after 1 year I feel it is hurting me and I want to stop it now.
I used to hate seeing your videos all over. Now im so grateful that you do this.
Getting ready to quit nicotine. Almost 50 years. I'd like to think I'm stronger than this drug. Wish me luck.
You got this homie, I’m a teen in the same boat. It’s never to late to quit, we all in this together.
@@provocativeramen8654 how you all doing? update ! no judgement
you'll never quit
You can do it!
How are you doing? I’ve smoked almost 28 years. I quit 6 days ago. I read Allen Carr’s book not intending to quit the next morning. I had 4 cigarettes left and all of a sudden I did not want to get dressed and go buy another pack. I’m feeling good. Wished I had a pack, I’d smoke all 20 at one time, but then I remember if I start back, I will wish I was where I am now. Keep going! Stay busy! Find something to do with your time...that is the hardest part.
yo I appreciate the videos dude I’m 2 and a half days without smoking and it sucks but it feels great at the same time
Thank you Dr. Frank. I love your videos and thank you for taking time out of your day to open our eyes & help us live longer. So much information. You helped me stop by preparing me on what to expect. No fear! I quit cold turkey 16 days ago. I can breathe better. I don't have to step away from my family, friends, favorite movie or after meals anymore to have a smoke. I feel free. The first 3 days were indeed the hardest, I had night sweats, headaches, some muscle aches & trouble sleeping but while staring at the ceiling I would think of what you said "it's the poison leaving your body". "Minor side effects or long term side effects?" I took Tylenol for the aches and pains & used gum "Trident cinnamon flavor" for the cravings. I would also visit your channel to keep me strong and I did it after 20 yrs. I did as you said and replaced the bad habit with a good habit. I reached for veggies such as celery sticks, apples and sliced oranges. I know you said 90 days but my cravings are gone. I also hope they stay gone. Thank you once again Dr. I am grateful for you.
I quit cold turkey after watching this video back in February and i gotta say thank you because i havent gone back and honestly it was pretty easy quitting. Getting over the mental hurdle of starting to quit is hard but once you've been off it for a few days it gets way easier to notice how easy it is to not do it.
New subscriber, on the path to quitting multiple addictions at once. Your knowledge and advice is very appreciated.
Thrilled to have ya here! Thank you for your support this should be a benefit! Much more content to come
dont act like my dad doc i do what i do my life
I’m on day 3. Hardest part is the environment I’m around. Everyone smokes and drinks. And I’m trying to quit both.
Update if y’all care. Haven’t given in yet. The smell of a ciggy makes me sick and the feeling of a dip is the only thing I miss. Not the nicotine feels nice being freed
@@tonydawgkeep it up
Hi frank. I found this very helpful. I can get through the withdrawals but the cravings are killer. Thank you for the great education
You are my hero! I just made the decision to quit vaping after not long (11 months or so; never had nicotine before that). Anyway, I enjoy your videos immensely. Truth be told, I've tried to quit at least a dozen times before, most attempts lasting hours. This vid helped me see the sheep in wolf's clothing that withdrawals are. I know I can handle this, period! Thanks Dr Frank :D
I'm on day 3, these videos have been very insightful, thanks for the help!
Last time I quit was for 6 months. I was going bat shit crazy every single day. I'm trying again. Never give up
For all these 6months??? Wtf
The last time i quit was 2years. During that time, it went better and better.. after a couple weeks i forgot i ever smoked. I started lifting, eating right and took care of my body so i was occupied with all that. So look for an outsource to focus urself on.
you didn't change your mindset... you should watch Allen Carr's movie from 2005... it helps to understand the mind traps. it's all BS
Hi there and thank you for this video. After twenty years of smoking cigarettes I have decided to stop. Thank you so much for your encouraging words and your subscribers testimonies are very encouraging. I'm on Day 2.
How are you doing? Still nicotine free?
I’m on day 2, the best way I can describe withdrawal is a heavy anxiety feeling/shortness of breath that gets stronger the more you think about smoking. It’s a hellish quiet feeling that so far hasn’t gone away since I took my last drag. I’m staying strong!
I’m on day ten now and all withdrawal effects have gone away besides a couple **weak** cravings now and then. It was surprisingly easy for me and Im surprised with myself for sticking through the first 4 days. I only really experienced the above symptoms, a non painful phlegm cough for 4 days and cold sweats for 3 days which weren’t really noticeable besides my sweaty sheets in the morning (gross but not painful) ether way it was surprising that I could do it this long considering I chain smoked for 7 years straight. It’s not as hard as you think as long as you push through the first 4 days it really is true that those are the worst of the worst. Now I’m at the point where I have no excessive thoughts about cigarettes or smoking and can live my life normally without chain smoking or getting that spike or anxiety(craving) every half an hour. It really is freeing to not be held down by that constant 5 months nicotine fiend break.
this shit hurts
@@snoopdapooch how you going? I am on day one. Its only 9am and I am anxious 😂
@@TarquinTheTall how you now?
I'm on day 4 after cigs for 12 years then
Vape for 3
It's tough but getting better
@@alexacdc1234 I hope you were able to stay strong man... I see this was five months ago and every time I've tried to quit I've gotten back on around the 3rd month... BE BETTER THAN ME
I was dipping 1 can of skoal everyday of my life for 16 years. Quitting smokeless tobacco was by far the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. The first time I tried to quit I lasted 3 weeks and I couldn't understand why I still wanted it so bad so I caved in. A few years went on and I would try to quit, then cave, then quit, then cave again. Finally, I convinced myself that deep down I really wanted to quit. This time I knew what to expect. I prepared my mind and told myself that the next few weeks would be the worst time in my life and I finally quit. I have not had any form of nicotine for over 10 years. To this day I still have dreams of dipping snuff and I get mad at myself and wonder how I could ever quit again, then I'm relieved when I wake up realizing it was just a dream. It's really amazing what nicotine can do to you mentally. You have to come to grips with the fact you're giving up your favorite thing to do in life. Only then was I able to finally quit and be free of this terrible addiction.
It’s been a week since I’ve vaped and I have to say that vaping is a heartless demon. I’m constantly wanting nicotine and I never thought it would be this hard but I’m happy I’m doing it little by little. I can say it’s not tough though. It’s readily available everywhere and it definitely feels like a challenge. Please pray for me
like you I was two months ago and today I evaporate without nicotine just for fun
@@regiepirotarum2893 quit that too bro, breath air instead :)
Focus on how crappy it is to be addicted to this substance, it really doesn’t do anything good for you at all, write down all the fake reasons you have for nicotine and figure out the reasons that it’s b.s. write them down and when you get a craving enjoy the feeling of that demon dying.

Been following you for a few months because I’ve been wanting to quit, this is the first video I’ve watched because I started my journey around 6 hours ago
Thank you so much man, you’re I formation was 100% spot on and you putting into perspective how NOT big of a deal it really is is what helped me most. I was blowing it out of proportion ❤
Been 8 days, cold turkey and I have been eating for five!!!
I’m on day 2, I have a horrible headache and a craving every 20 mins
I’m going through it now. 5 days now. Did you make it?

you're the best. thank you so much. 48 hours without nicotine. the withdrawal symptoms are minor. the important thing is the mindset and determination to get healthy and kick off the bad habit.
Hey just wanted to thank you for your posting. You’ve helped me make quite a few attempts at quitting. Trying again🤞 hope it’s my last.
I had 16 day thanks to watching your videos and shifting my perspective... Then I relapsed on smoking and have been struggling the past three days with smoking and now I'm vaping again... I felt so good after a week and I'm so disappointed with myself.
I had taken a week off to basically get through the first 5 days and that really helped but now I'm really busy with a lot of mentally taxing requirements coming up, so my addiction mind is telling me that I can't quit now and I need another week off to get back to where I was. Really don't know what to do and struggling with guilt and shame.
Smoking is for losers and keep it in ur mind that way
Smoked weed and cigs for 20 years , this videos have give me motivation and guidance on quitting, also prayer and The Lord Jesus Christ ! Thanks you
👍
starting my journey today iv been vaping heavily for 3-4 years, ill keep you guys updated

Not exaggerating: when I heard him say that, something in me clicked and I started having much less cravings.
Today marks 20 days no vaping for me! Anxiety is very high still, but my body feels so much better, the first 5 days for me were the hardest! I was extremely depressed and didn’t get out of bed. But today, i don’t have shortness of breathe anymore, and i have 100% for energy! I’m laughing and enjoying the little things in life more! It’s sooo worth it! I’ve been vaping for 3- 4 years and it’s done nothing but hold me back in life and make me less confident in myself for never sticking through with my decision to quit! trust me you guys it’s very worth it. just take it 24 hours at a time. and don’t cave in!! you’re stronger than you think. avoid negative influences and your life and ignore the negativity around you! love your life the way you want.
very nice video, speaks the truth . been a heavy smoker for 20 years, smoked almost 30 cigarettes per day. i quit two weeks before (cold turkey , no gums ,patches etc). apart from a difficulty concentrating , a brain fog if you like, and a looooot of hunger ,i didnt have any other symptoms. it is a mindgame,just dont think about it .
I dont think i would've done it if you didnt show up on my page, thank you so much ❤
I will quit no matter what i have to do, i cant do it anymore i just hate myself everytime i do it i quit all day but relapsed after i got angry and hated myself its such a short lived happiness and im not ok living like this i will not pick up another vape i subscribed for help and asked others around me for help i took a huge step today stay awesome and positive
I feel the same
My thoughts would tend to over exaggerate making want to reach for a cigarette till I realized that the problem went away after i smoked.... 1 week in and I still get those over exaggerated thoughts but hold back
Day 4, vaping and dipping. The hardest day was day one due to cravings, but every other day has been extremely easy. I've been vaping and dipping everyday for years, I thought the withdrawl would be worse but on a scale of one to ten it is 2 out of ten. Just a little fatigue. I feel much more relaxed now, no stomach problems anymore either!
Thank you for your videos doc they helped me quit smoking 5 days free
Day 6, the initial constant intense cravings r gone. Still getting occasional cravings but staying strong. Stand strong and happy everyone we’ll beat this 😊
20 year cigarette smoker and 10 years on and off weed. Stop cold turkey for both 4 days ago. 3 days of night sweats...anxiety..chest pain ...restlessness...feeling hot cold hot cold. It's absolutely insane what the body is doing to try to get you To go back to the routine. For some reason these symptoms happen more often then not at night ..I guess when I'm sitting not doing much. Hope it gets better soon
I stopped for a year before this so I know I can do it. Its torture. God help me get through this for me and my wife and kids.
how you holding up man?
So much care and love in these posts GOD Thank you all for sharing GOD BLESS 💖
24 days of no nicotin after 22 years of heavy smoking. Going strong and will be strong. God bless all
Keep it up bro!! You can do it! 💪
I’m having a surgery in four weeks and doctor advised me to quit nicotine, because of the seriousness of not healing properly. He actually said he will not preform the surgery if any nicotine is detected in blood test on the day of the surgery.. this is so hard, but thank you for this I believe I can do this.. I read some of the comments and they’re all positive
How has it been?
29.06.2024 / 02:13 am. I quit smoking right now after watching this video. Everyone who sees this comment wish me best luck. I DO NOT SMOKE ANYMORE.
How’s it going?!?!
12 days sober from 7 years of vaping, personally it was the opposite for me first day was horrible 2nd and 3rd were very foggy and I couldn’t think straight but less “temptation” I do believe your mentality will get you through this. To keep me going I think about how good 1 months gonna feel and so on. Wish you the best of luck god bless
Ive quit dipping since June. Besides two slip ups when I bought 2 cans when I was drunk but threw them out the next day. It’s very hard to quit when your body is so dependent on something but I’m glad there are others in the same boat as me and I am not alone
Entering the 3rd day today. Feeling absolutely terrible ripped Juul and vapes for 7 straight years. Didn’t go an hour without ripping it. Seeing a lot of people saying the 3rd day js the worst and so far it is. But hanging in there and hopefully be good by the weekend!
You still going ?
I’m around my 27th hour nicotine free, I believe I can do this🥳thank you so much
How's it going?!
He relapsed💀
@@Normcore-initiative glad to see I’m not the only one who’s trying to get rid of this shit on this lovely night 💀
I’m on day 4 of no nicotine and wow I had to come back to this video to comment! Day 3 is definitely the worse and I feel that I’ve come so far there’s no way I would go back to vaping(vaped for 5 years). Stay strong guys! Get through day 3 and you’ll never want to experience those terrible 3 days again hence you will never do nicotine again. Feel free to check up on me but I think I’m giving myself an early win 🏆 🙌🏾
I got you!!! I love keeping an eye on progress like this!!! So happy you came back for the update. Guarantee your Inspiring someone
still doing good ?
Still good?
You good?
how ya doing? 3 months later haha
Hello, I'm on day 22.
I've been a bit out of focus and emotional in the last week, I'm a bit scared because I often hear about the "72 hours then it gets better", but I have hope.
I'm leaving this comment to encourage whoever is struggling after a couple weeks. Don't give up, find yourself some friends or family to support you and you'll make it through.
Sitting in my studio making beats triggers me to vape, alcohol triggers me as well, and just being bored too.
Breathing triggers me, grocery shopping, eating, sex, phone calls, any minor inconvenience
@@katkatkat5 speaking facts 😂
1 week! Physical symptoms are gone, cravings are very intense but I’m trying to sit through them. Wish me luck!
You still got it!?
Day 7 after 20 years of lightning up bad relationships and general being hard on myself…new me new year 😊
I’m listening to you. Because you know what your talking about.
Weird that you didn’t mention quitter’s flu. On my 4th day, no cravings but feeling absolutely sick 🤧
Thank you for this comment! Never knew about this but my stomach is upset and I just feel uneasy but NO cravings!! We’ll get past it! ❤️
Great stuff, but you forgot one of THEE most important and difficult withdrawl symptoms here......irritability/anger....which is completely different than anxiety and mindset, and most definitely fearful.
Oh yeah. That. I could punch a wall, hiss, claw
Day 1 and the way you say Insomnia is making me want to start again
I know I'm 2 weeks late you might of already made it, but you can do this shit man I'm going through hell rn too I believe in you
I quit smoking over 2 years ago now when I was 20 at the time. I had already been smoking for a few years since 16-17 and decided it was time and it was probably one of the better desicions I've ever taken in my life. I believe anyone can do it with the right mindset!
I just found out I’m pregnant, and I just quit vaping because of it. I vaped for 5 years straight, chief keefing the vape. I’m going to be honest, mentally, it’s been challenging but I believe it’s just that. It’s mentally just telling yourself you don’t need it and you genuinely have to believe it in order to quit. I’m going on day 5! 5 more days to go for the full cleanse. I have faith in everyone who’s trying to quit! You can do it. You’re stronger than you think!🖤
Your baby and your obgyn will thank-you
Update?
@@michaelmulholland4380 hi! I’ve officially quit! It got easier as time went on, you have to just stick to it. It got to the point where I’d hit the vape again and I’d feel worse hitting it compared to the “withdrawal” symptoms I was experiencing. I can comfortably say I have no desire for nicotine anymore!
@@ashleynicole2200 I’m so happy for you. Trying myself now
I'm 22 and quit 7 days ago. After 4 years of nicotine addiction. Feels amazing and already almost free from the crippling anxiety that plagued my life daily. Not perfect but much better and more grounded.
@bill joseph i just quit nicotine cold turkey. I lift weights and sauna several times a week so that may help with anxiety. I just got less jittery and anxious since I quit, now 15 days ago. It gets better bro
@bill joseph right there with you brother im on day 34 and my anxiety is wrecking me, gonna try working out again
@@_Depp122 I’m on day 66 today, try to find the root cause of the anxiety.
Nicotine withdrawal may or may not be the cause
@@Lawyer76 check the belly.
Memes aside you’ve helped me so many times. Idk how much this comment does but thank you bro
I'm a smoker of close to 10 years. Day 6 going into 7 and jeez...the headaches and insomnia were real. The depersonalization really messed with me until I realized it was just my brain readjusting, and watching your vids helped me stay on the level - even when I thought I was going insane . Thanks so much for keeping things in perspective
Please look into supplements to ease and repair you while getting your control back , lions mane ,fish oils dha , nad , zinc and even ashwaganda. And if you can use a gym sauna it’ll expel any toxins very quickly you’ll feel like a million bucks only this time it’s for real no substance needed
The physical withdrawals help me remember why I was quitting in the first place... Like enjoying the soreness after a good workout... The cravings are what get me because I forget about how bad vaping was for me and I always fold months after said withdrawals have subsided. I'm trying again and haven't vaped for 3 weeks, but I'd be lying if I said I don't have to actively convince myself not to stop by a smoke shop every single day. Good Luck everyone.
Update
I've been vaping for 11 years now, with some cigarette use involved for a few years as well. I'm day 4 cold turkey now. This is my 14th time attempting to quit and it's the farthest I've gotten. Withdrawal is kicking my ass - it feels like I lost my best friend. But I know what to expect this time. If you're planning to quit, don't be ashamed if you relapse. This shit isn't easy and it can involve multiple attempts. With each attempt, you learn something new though -you learn what your triggers are and you learn how to deal with them. Cheers!
How are you doing? Did you make it over the line?
@@GoatofJersey Can't say I'm over the finish line, but I'm 153 days in.
Im on day four. Insomnia on the first night, a lot of anxiety, moodswings and trouble focusing. Day three was a bit easier. And now on day four Its only the emotional stability that is off. I have been using pouches (the strong ones) and I think they make quitting a lot harder than other than the swedish "snus" or snuff.... for instance. When I quit before I didnt have this strong withdrawal symtoms. Right now I feel a lot better than when I was on nicotine. Thanks for all your videos!!
Returning to this video to say, I quit nicotine entirely about 3 months ago. And started exercising daily again.
Now I never even think about it anymore. Even when I’m around other people who do it, it doesn’t even remotely trigger me.
It took me a few failed quitting attempts to eventually get here, but don’t quit on yourself.
Thank you Dr. Frank for helping me re shape my mindset!
Day one for me. I'm gonna be watching this video over and over for days, I'm sure. But the way he rationalizes everything is already helping me believe I can do this, no matter how hard it's going to be. It will be worth it. I hope from now on I can come back to this comment and remember this as the moment I decided to take my life back, say no to nicotine, and relinquish all the shame and pain that has come with it. Thank you for this video!!
Update: Well it's been 15 days for me.. Day 1 & 2 were literal hell, guys. I've still been smoking vitamin and cbd vapes to cope but want to quit those as well.. But hell at least I got off the nic, right? The hardest aspects to cope with for me are my emotions in general, and my sleep. My anxiety is through the roof and all my emotions are touchy. I haven't had a solid night sleep since I quit the nicotine. Admittedly, I still think about nicotine all day every day. I went 6 years of my life without going longer than even 12 hours without smoking, probably. So maybe for some people by this point it's getting easier. But dispelling a habit you've had you entire adult life is not that easy, so don't knock yourself if you're a couple weeks or a month in and still having intense cravings. Sometimes it's not even a craving for nicotine itself, but to just feel something going into my lungs. I'm trying to work on breathing and meditation techniques to hopefully help with that aspect and get off the other vapes I've started using. This is all around a lot more difficult than I thought to deal with.. I hope there is still a light at the end of the tunnel for me. I don't see myself going back to the nic because I recognize how bad if is for my health.. But I don't see myself being any happier without it yet, if anything, life feels a lot more bleak at this point.
Update?
I’m on day three and I’m really sad, but I’m determined to make it. This is the longest I’ve been without nic since starting, I want my life back.
hang in there mate! you got this 🤝
Hey I’m on day 3 as well!!!
I’m in my day 7 my heart be bounching I have lost a lot of weight a lot pray for me God bless you in if u reading this he got you in try your best u got dis 🙌🏽❤️
I stopped two weeks ago today. Headaches are awful but this video helped me stay on track
Feeling the same. STAY STRONG!!!
@@raynnysoto-xc8jq thank you!!!! You also - not sure if you're going cold turkey but every day without is a definite accomplishment!
Day 45 of no smoking! Smoked for 10 years 1 pack a day:) you guys can do it. I don't feel withdrawals anymore aside from randomly thinking about it or small cravings here or there. Not too bad tho
Thank you so much for this!!! This is really going to help a lot of people out. Very inspirational, thank you
Im at my 40th day. Im still having shortness of breath and chest pains is this okay
@@erlemironiringan7629 I would recommend speaking with your doctor and requesting a Chest X-ray or perhaps seeing a pulmonologist
@@AddictionMindset I had an x ray not more than a month ago and it was all normal
@@erlemironiringan7629 sir is this because of cravings?
Please reply
Tomorrow’s my day one. I’m writing this for accountability. Let’s do this!
Accountability check! You got this!
How’s it going? Day 1 for me starts tomorrow
Used my last zyn pouch this morning. Cravings already kicking in. Wish me luck!
I find the triggers to vape are in the mornings before work, and after work when I get home. I decided just to leave my vape at home for the 9 hours I'm gone so that I have no choice but to not vape. Just being aware of environmental readability really helps me
It's so unusual. My father smoked for 20 years and during his withdrawal he only had cravings. I smoked cigars for 7 months and now on day 10 still have severe nausea, panic attacks, bad anxiety, slight constant headache and stomach issues.
If he dont get withdrawald for 20 years of smokingg i think thats bad
I smoked vape for 1 year. And now I'm having the worst hangover in my life. I haven't vaped for 1 week. Now I'm having strong heartbeats
@@asleo37 it's the anxiety bro for me it feels like I have a pressure on my chest.
so true. boredom and isolation are big triggers for cravings. also, alcohol. gotta quit drinking before you quit nicotine
I have cried, I have terrible nightmares, wake up sweating. I think I would have really made an issue about them if I didn't had your words in the back of my head!!! Thanks broo 😁 also, puppy videos are also working very well😆
Day 3 and I'm in bed sweating wondering why. Thank you youtube. This explains alot if what I'm going through
I got you!
Don't usually comment, but I've recent quit smoking weed in the uk now onto day 23. I have now decided to quit cigarettes. About to have my last one, lets do this shit!
