It's 99.9% mental . After 72 hours it should be pretty easy but if you don't want to quit you just go back and it's really easy to have one during a buzz or something bad happens you'll make excuses to have just one. It'll fuck with you
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually 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 Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

No joke. Quitting was, by far, the hardest thing I've ever done. I was a total mess for six months, and it took another six months to come out of the mess in one piece. Now, I also quit during a really difficult time in my life, so that didn't help. But when you quit you realize how every single thing you do in the run of a day is connected to smoking. You wake up and make your coffee = cigarette. Drive to work = cigarette. Arrive at work = better have a cigarette before I go in. While you work = I should reward myself with a cigarette. It goes on and on. I literally had to relearn to do everything without relying on a cigarette. And I wasn't even what you would consider a "heavy" smoker. Anyway, it's been just over four years and I'm in the best shape of my life. That would not have happened without quitting those god damned cigarettes. What a fucking scam they are. I'm in Canada, so weed is now completely legal, but it's amazing that in the States cigarettes are legal but not weed. That just tells you that shit is fucked up.
Thirty five years as a smoker, and I'm only 48. Quit over a year ago using patches and gum. Still want one at least once or twice a day. Being able to taste food again and climbing hills makes it all worth it.
wow 35 years and im worried with 24 smoking a packet a day but cant enjoy it already I need to quit it thank u boddy i cant imagine I can even breathe after smoking 35 years my amount rn
@@Meghnaaad 48 isn’t that old, there are people in their 60s and older smoked cigarettes for many decades! I am 41 and started smoking at 13! I’ve quit multiple times, you might fail at first but keep trying never give up the next time you try might work out, I recently quit for three weeks!
It's crazy beacause you can quit smoking but somehow it never leaves your mind. I've been clean for more than a year now and the nicotine was the easy part (took me about 2/3 months until I felt I didn't need it anymore). The hard one was the mental addiction, until this day I still think about it. I'm not addicted anymore and I feel better than ever, but sometimes I still think about the act of smoking itself and about when I would smoke and how I felt doing it, specially in social occasions. It's weird
It’s not that for me. It’s not the nicotine or the mental addiction. It’s the flavor. I fell in love with flavor of tobacco especially the peppery kinda spicy. Well I guess I’ll change to pipe I guess
Quitting cigarettes made me see and hear things that weren't there. Not smoking was literally a bad trip. But I quit because this little pile of brown dried up leaves had so much control over me. It felt pathetic. After my second time kicking the habit, I can safely say I am done forever.
@Patrick of Babel *Well if you ever start feeling the itch to smoke again.....just vape instead...it’s so much cheaper, healthier, better tasting and if you get the right ecig....you’ll never want to smoke a stink bomb regular Cigarette again.*
@@NadaVerse I dno, I've had a few people I know who have bought vapes. They use them for a little while, but everyone of them has gone back to cigarettes, now they're vaping and smoking cigarettes.
13 May 2019 was my last smoke after 24 years; I was 38. I was disgusted with myself for being too weak and allowing the addiction to control my actions. What it took was a friend of mine that made a sarcastic comment of "You going to try and quit again.", that was the spark that fed my pride. I had my last smoke and put a patch on the next day. The following day I was putting the patch on and looked in the mirror and thought, "What are you a bitch? You either do it, or you don't!" I tossed the patch in the trash and haven't touched either one since that day. It was very hard; smoking isn't just the nicotine; it is more of a ritual. After 24 years, every sub-conscience move I made was tied with the act of smoking, driving, eating, sex, downtime, drinking; everything had the ritual of smoking tied in with the action. It was a constant battle of willpower and telling myself that I am not a weak piece of shit and that I'm in control. To this day, I will still get the odd craving that gets triggered by something, but I've learned that it is temporary and will go away.
quitting smoking was hard for me. After the 7th time I finally quit. I smoked for over 25 years, I haven't had a cigarette in years. It was the best thing I could have done for myself.
I’m 24 and I’ve been smoking cigarettes since I was about 15 maybe. And for the last two years I’ve struggled with quitting. Clean from alcohol and weed and cigs are the hardest by far
oh my goodness you are literally describing me, but I was 13 when I started. ive stayed off them for 2 and a half years now and I literally just made a video on how I did it if you still need help? It on my channel! also, if you want to message me about it feel free to DM me on Instagram @JemimaIsabella, I'll be happy to help you in any way I can xx
My Grandma is 86 years old. Smoking cigs since she was 15. Diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago. She won’t have any cancer treatment. (Understandable) Bless her. 70 odd years of heavy smoking, she’s tuff to say they least.
I'm over 5 years smoke free after having smoked for about 12 years. I attribute my success partly to how rough of a time I gave myself at the start. I quit just before Easter weekend, where I spent 3 nights partying, drinking and having fun, and it was damn near impossible not to smoke. After managing to get through that I knew no day would ever be harder and I could always think back to that time if I was struggling. So my advice for someone quitting is to jump right in the fire instead of shying away from triggers the first couple of weeks, because it will significantly improve your long term chances
Its not just that, its easy, its really easy. To the point that everything you do can be accompanied with a cigarette Just woke up, cigarette Just drank tea? Cigarette Took a good shit? Whoo cigarette Before taking a shower, cigarette. Its a habit you dont know you are developing
I was in hospital once for a time and I’d have to get dressed, walk down the long corridor, down 3 floors In the lift or emergency stairs, walk another long stretch, through the double doors, walk the length of the main stretch of the hospital in the snow to the smoking shelter outside the main entrance, smoke a cigarette, get buzzed back in by the night receptionist, and by the time I got back upstairs, I wanted another cigarette.
I wanted to quit after 15 years smoking and I was going back and forth for a year and was struggling and some one said "come on man takes a bit of will power! See what you're made of man! Quit them fuckin things" and that was it... That's what I needed to hear. Thanks Ryan, it's been 9 years smoke free.
For anyone reading this I know this shit sounds ridiculous but it actually works lmao you read the fuxking book and it still tells you to smoke while you do it. At the end you just don't feel like smoking anymore. I read it once and quit for like 6 months... came back to it unfortunately. I just quit again a week ago but with the help of 0mg nicotine eliquid... feel so much better but quitting the habit of puffing smoke, even if with 0 nicotine, will be hard too. But way easier than quitting the puffing habit AND nicotine at the same time.
I read it and smoked the whole way through wondering how the hell I was gonna stop wanting to smoke by the end of the book. I finished reading it and didnt smoke for 2 weeks and it was so easy. I couldnt believe it because any time I went that long before it would drive me nuts. I smoked one on a random night out of curiosity. Havent smoked one since. It has been about a year and a half so far.

Joe talking down on tobacco like he doesn't inhale weed smoke in his lungs every day. People have their vices. A smoker is way more tolerable than a drunkard.
@@kanorcubes329 I know people who drink so much you’d wonder how they’re still alive. I also know people who smoke so much you’d wonder how they’re still alive. I’m talking about decades of abuse. But they all are still alive.
@@bassofd00m But nicotine feels good and doesn't give you paranoia like Weed does. Weed can make some people insane and psychotic, so it's not this completely innocent drug as many would you believe.
That seed analogy seems like it can be an extremely useful mental tool to deal with negative aspects of myself, but also to recognize and nurture the good ones as well...thanks!
I smoked tobacco from 13-23, decided to just smoke pure weed instead of mixing with tobacco. I found my (what I thought was) weed induced Anxiety, was actually created by the tobacco and not the weed. Still smoking weed now, since age 13, now I’m 24.
Bro I had this inclination too. I used to smoke weed heavy at 16-18 and it was cool and I started vaping as well around the same time and eventually it got to the point weed was making me paranoid and panic and I think it just the way the chemicals were changing my biology. I’m 22 now and don’t feel too good but I’ve been trying hard recently to quit. Cigarettes were mixed in a little but not too much. Like 20-50 packs max
Now that I quit, I watch others taking drags and feel really bad. I remember how I was a slave to the stuff, I was able to break its hold on me though. I still feel bad, I realize that people don't believe they can do it. I'm planning on doing smoking cessation speeches to other people with mental illnesses, I just want to give them hop and encouragement. If I can do it, they can do it
They are so tasty though, and that first puff after work is like getting the best hug you've ever had, the kind of hug that lets you know it understands you and how you are feeling all whilst making it better at the same time. Edit: I really need to consider quitting after re-reading my comment, damn.
@@mohammadal-hasan8344 Not that good, I smoke once every 2-3 weeks or so (not addicted), usually when I'm drunk and can say that it just feels like a head-rush that makes you feel buzzed and dizzy, it's just the feeling of actually smoking anything that feels satisfying to me, along with the rolling and such
i have never in my life heard anything expressed like a seed in your body that can grow and one day flower and bloom. I can use this analogy for anything in everyday life, thanks my man for that, I'll remember that one for ever!!
Quieting Smoking is like loosing weight. It takes years of success and failure to build up a tolerance to attempt it again while blindly trying to convince yourself that you are getting better at it and this time you will succeed.
I dip tobacco and have been smoking and dipping for 12 years or so. I beat myself up over it and fight with it every day. I also have been diagnosed with ADHD. I have been left untreated for my whole life and I’m 29 now. There’s no way to explain how it’s crippled me emotionally, mentally and physically. I know dipping isn’t a good choice to make, and I struggle with it everyday. I’ve quit and come back several times. I don’t know if nicotine has been alleviating symptoms of my ADHD but I would like to think it does. I had a psychiatrist (ADHD specialist) once tell me that upon treating ADHD, their addictions dropped away, their depression dropped away. I have a host of mental disorders, but I believe that my problems would drop away when I get fully treated for my ADHD. Living with this condition, disorder, whatever it is, is paralyzing. I didn’t research on ADHD until very recently and everything about it is my life word for word, and I didn’t even know I did these things cause of ADHD. My psychiatrist mentioned that people have something wrong with the reward center in their brain. Self medicating with cigs or dip or alcohol and drugs is common I would imagine. Some research I did brought up the point that even our choices are influenced by our brain, and based on rewards and punishments, meaning that based on how your brain is wired or not wired has influence on your ultimate decision to do something. Let’s try and not beat ourselves up even though at times it is probably one of the hardest things to do, and me being very bad at it.
The problem with quitting is it's not some kind of permanent switch you throw that you don't have to worry about anymore. It's always there, just waiting to come back when your guard is down, when you're drunk, when you're stressed. After being a smoker for 35 years, I quit for 4 years. Never even thought about them during that time. Then I signed a contract that stressed me the fuck out, and boom, I was a smoker again. That was 3 years ago and I'm still on them. It's fucking brutal, man.
@@mr.fahrenheit007 yeah, the problem is that I've always loved smoking. It's not only the nicotine addiction. The taste and the ritual. The first of the day with coffee. The throat slightly burning. It's sick, but I just miss it.
@@mr.fahrenheit007 try nicotine patches and stick to the treatment until the end. I tried many times, but thougth it was enough and stopped before finishing the whole treatment. Mainly because it's expensive. But the time I did until the end I was able to stop.
@@mauriciotoma4730 glad I’m not the only one. I literally quit on and off for years, pick it up for a bit, stop. I just enjoy it I always have I just quit so I physically don’t feel like shit. But I honestly feel that once you’ve smoked, it never really leaves you.
I never smoked until I was in my 20s. I never smoked the prepacked cigarettes, I always rolled my own. I buy my tobacco directly from a licensed company that grows organic kentucky blend tobacco. Totally different game vs the terrible prepacked cigs you buy in the stores. I can go weeks and weeks and weeks without ever rolling my own cigarette..... The prepacked cigarettes are MEANT to be addictive and cancer causing. Its insane how duped people have become
I quit smoking and vaping multiple times. At one point things were so bad that I was smoking and vaping instead of doing just one or the other. My job setting up concerts had a lot to do with this cause it’s very fast paced and nicotine helps doing that kind of work. The pandemic happened and it provided me some opportunities to quit! It took multiple attempts but what helped was getting away from my environment to another state for a little over a week and just going through the hell there. I was very isolated but used to that anyway; at least I was not around people I know here who smoke and vape. When I got home I took all my vape mods and weed (was coming off that too) and threw it all in a dumpster because I knew I had no self control. I threw $550 worth of weed and weed accessories as well as expensive mods and juices in the dumpster. And drove off expecting to have a sense of peace and weight lifted off. That did not happen. And for the next 7 days until that dumpster was emptied I thought about every day and night driving down there and jumping in there and getting it all out. It was a rather rash stupid decision But at the time its what I needed to do because I have no self control. Could never just hit the vape once and be done. Got to do it constantly! Ridiculous. My ex gf used to make fun of me about it. I still crave it when I have down time or pass a vape store which they’re everywhere but I try to stay disciplined. Did slip up and buy a Vuse e-cigarette in January and. Wow. But noticed I couldn’t control that either. So I never bought any more cartridges. It’s tough man. It’s a process. You may have to go about it differently. But one thing I did I would advise you to do is get away from where you are for a week (at least) and detox. Get some gum if you prefer and stay busy doing something and eventually the withdrawals won’t be bad when you return home. And you will be glad that you did
@@Colt8722 still on the nic well vaping it’s just a cop out really a quick hit too stop feeling overwhelmed I really gotta just work on my personal issues before I work on quitting that
@@vestty5802 your subconscious says otherwise. You wouldn't smoke such a deadly and harmful thing. Most don't realize that but it is buried deep inside a smoker.
€20 for a pack of 35 here in Ireland (about €12 or €13 for a pack of 20 I think) I remember as a kid 30 years ago paying £1.19 for a pack of 20 for my mother which is still under €2
stopped cold turkey because I really wanted to after 2 weeks in thailand smoking cheap brown tobacco stuff al the time, I was a heavy smoker and I smoked cigarettes during 13 years I had enough I was spitting dark stuff and my teeth were in really bad shape. The first week was awful, I had seizures, I remember banging the wall in the toilet at my job, I really could feel the physical dependency. Then came the psychological dependency - reinvent my own life without cigarettes. It took 2 years to really be free from the idea of buying cigarettes. It was 10 years ago and I think I am 100% free now. I am so proud I manage to never smoke again.
not really "seizures" I have to say but some kind of strong pain in all your body, pulsating pain. 5 seconds of really painful feeling, a few minutes ok, and the pain coming back and these 5 seconds of dying. Extremely difficult to explain you have to feel this extreme unconfortable pain/need. That was what I was feeling, I called it seizure because I don't know a better word for it.
yeah it's easy to make fun and disrespect smokers if you're someone living like joe rogan , i'm not that fortunate , my life is not something precious to me and i don't really enjoy it that much lol. i can't do BJJ go hunting train MMA do dmt smoke weed etc whenever i want . i'm 26 yo and i don't see myself living above 40 so yeah screw it.
That doesn't mean that cancer was rare. Look at the death rates from heart disease instead, same thing that cause heart disease also cause cancer. In early 1970s, death rates from heart disease in USA were 316.6 per 100,000 men and 103.0 per 100,000 women.

I knew a guy online who said he'd been addicted to Heroin and Meth/Ice - Both of which he was able to quit but cigarettes he couldn't. Here in Australia they are so expensive it's almost like being addicted to self-induced poverty/working to afford a toxic habit - One pack costs > 1 hour of minimum wage = Work a full day a week to afford it in that week.
I’m only 16 and I’m not saying I’m cool for drinking but I did have a really bad urge to drink all the time, until I got a blackout and a hangover from hell, I haven’t drank in almost a year
You've got to figure out what you were trying to accomplish from drinking to blackout. Most alcoholics are running away from something in their life either physically or mentally. I wish you the best in your recovery ❤️
the hardest part of quitting cigarettes is that someone around you always smokes either your friends or relative or neighbor or even in the movies. I was so drawn to smoke after watching peaky blinders and i dont even smoke smh.
nicotine is a stimulant, and it dulls the cortisol receptors temporarily, reducing one's ability to feel stressed. it's one reason it's so popular among restaurant workers and medical professionals. of course, repeated use and withdrawals diminish our ability to cope with stress naturally, thereby creating an addiction.
Honestly I couldn't agree more, Every smoker and EX smoker I know thinks the same, That shit is unbelievably brutal to quit, A place to go for two weeks just to detox the hardest initial part which I found was 2-3 weeks would be fantastic.
@@bikkyful Thank you for your comment. Smoking has a higher recidivism rate than heroin. Most insurance companies cover drug rehab. Why not smoking rehab?
There should be, but cigarettes is such a revenue-producer. Alcohol is as well (and yet there is rehab for it), but once you start cigarettes, very hard to stop. You become a slave to them and it becomes a bill.
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS PEOPLE TO SMOKE THERE IS A HUGE PROFIT IN TOBACCO THEY DONT RAISE THE PRICE FOR YOU TO STOP SMOKING THEY RAISE THE PRICE TO MAKE UP FOR PROFIT LOST FROM THOSE WHO QUIT ....POPULATION CONTROL WHILE GETTING MEGA RICH ..........AND NOT ONLY THAT SMOKING IS NOT PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK JUST BECAUSE YOU SMOKE IN THE SAME WAY THAT ALCOHOL DOES.....YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE LOSING THERE JOBS BECAUSED THEY SMOKE TO MUCH OR KILLING PEOPLE IN CAR ACCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NICOTINE THATS WHY......
@@mrdonfconnolly77 you do realize the government has to spend more money on treating those who got sick from smoking than they earn trough tobacco taxes?
1 year and a half free smoker, i know its hard, the only advice i can give you ... is never surrender just keep trying, leave the idea of quitting in you head and dont be harsh on yourself when you fail, i experienced the struggle guys, and if you are in this phase i hope you'll free yourself somehow ... someday. Good luck
Man, I only smoked on and off for a few years and quit about half a year ago, but I still crave it. Today, I stood next to a dude smoking at a bus stop and took in the secondhand smoke. I've caught myself seriously trying not to walk into a gas station for a pack. I guess my life's been good since I've been able to resist. It's usually when I feel super shitty that I start thinking about smoking again. It took a 3000 mile move for me to quit. Had to reset everything.
Taking LSD back in my sophomore year of high school ( IK I was wayyyy too young to be doing drugs but hey) made me realize I was a slave to cigarettes and I've quit due to this realization. LSD can break addictions
in highschool my friend gave me 4 hits of 'LCD' in highschool and it made me think I was a glass of orange juice and that if I leaned over I would spill my contents!

If you already have it in your mind then you can do it.just be very desperate about wanting to quit.ive tried vaping but those people died so I quit that,the gum and cfc that didnt do much,cold Turkey but it was horrible and now CV in on the patches.ive become desperate about wanting to quit so now I'm willing to try anything and everything.the next step is going to a doctor if the patches doesn't work
Shaquoyah Crowder nah man it’s not gonna take me weeks reading this comment and getting back to ya. I completely understand what you saying. I really do, trust me. I’ve been smoking for probably last 6 months like 4-5 a day. When I made that comment I didn’t smoke much at all. It’s really interesting what I found with my little experience with it. 1) it’s not that hard to stop the craving if I want to. I did a little experiment and I didn’t smoked for like 20 days. No problem whatsoever. Though I experienced that morning craving for smoking because my body was telling me to smoke by dreaming about it. But I didn’t. And it wasn’t hard. And what I also noticed that my dreams were really vivid and emotional (do tell me if this happens with you too). Then why did I continue to smoke ? To be honest I don’t really know. But I have some of my own hypothesis. 1) because my body don’t have any problems with smoking for now. 2) may be a cig just fills a void. Like it pretend to make me feel more grounded. May be just think of smoking as something “cool” when in reality I’m not that cool. It might help me fill that void up. 3) it just doesn’t matter. But this reminds me of a quote “ if you think it actually matters, it does” ( I just butcherd that quote, but it was very moving). I think my attitude is the problem. “ just a cig won’t kill you. Let’s check that other kind of cig out etc etc. these are just excuses to smoke, I think that “cig. Are very very addictive, it’s almost impossible to quit” is also an excuse for some people. Peace mate !
@@aayushkumar-sp6zy I read it and yea I'm 5 days in now😁.I read it and I do feel like you have some valid points my dude the example about you feeling a void...I have started asking myself when the thought of wanting to smoke comes to my head "what is the real reason you want it" "Is it cause your mad,sad,happy,etc" And in these 5 days i have found out that its boredom.im a truck driver so most of my time is spent alone,listening to podcasters or looking into the night down a long road. Since I've figured this out I now have started to give myself breaks in between long drives by getting out the truck and getting something to drink or listening to better podcasters and different things on youtube.and that kinda supports your quote that you wrote about the reason I want the cig is an excuse.but I feel like it's an excused feeling... I'm excusing the feeling of boredom so I smoke I'm excusing the feeling of sadness so I smoke I'm excusing the feeling bbn of happiness so I smoke So instead of excusing those feelings I will just feel them😁
The fact is that we will all die one day. Death is never a simply or painless process, the same as ageing. People who smoke live in the moment with the thought the our bodies are mortal and that suffering is just a part of life. We all have cancer cells in our bodies. Many will never smoke and get cancer. Many will smoke and get cancer. Cancer and everything we do to our bodies becomes a toss of the coin on whether we will die younger or become sick. How can you tell people to stop smoking, a thing that people enjoy when millions of people entertain consuming chemical filled foods, chemical filled beauty products, copious quantities of alcohol, amongst other activities that in the long run worsen your health? There is a double standard in society towards health.
Highly additive seen people get throat cancer and part of there throat gets removed leaving a hole in there throat. They still smoke right thought the hole the cigarettes made. It insane how hard it is for some people to quit

I really hate cigarettes and big tobacco, like really deeply and to my core. So many of my family members and loved ones smoke and thats why I don’t smoke, because I’ve sen the effects firsthand and I don’t want to go through that I don’t want to put others through that.
I quit for 5 years, then went to a funeral for my friends son and it was such a depressing event I had one to try and relax and thats all it took. That was 7 years ago. I've quit twice since then and getting ready to try again. Meanwhile I live in NC surrounded by tobacco fields
Guys, I'm so healthy - I ride 15k a day atm, no drink, drugs, booze (been like this for 2 years now - used to be a real caner). The thing is - tomorrow I'm travelling and I'll have a bottle of wine and was planning on buying some cigarettes - just to have one or two for old times sakes. I'm now not going to after watching this random pop up on my YT feed. Many thanks dudes, you helped me dodge a bullet.
Great book that dispels all the bullshit about nicotine that every "expert" has decided is true. Joe (and most people, especially in this comment section) is the poster boy for this ignorant way of thinking. If you want to stop using tobacco, read Alan Carr's book and you WILL, it really makes easy.
We all know that cigs are shit for our health, but really when you learn just how bad, that info can be enough to stop, or at least help move u closer to stopping. For me it was when I finally realized what I was doing to myself when I lit a cigarette and inhaled it, 20 times a day, I saw it as innnncredibly stupid. I couldn't consider myself healthy or even intelligent if I continued to smoke, knowing what I knew. It's like I learned enough that it dawned on me that consuming cigarettes was like consuming poison, a toxic substance, I was poisoning myself, killing myself. Knowing that prevents me from ever doing it again.
Jeo, Cigarettes only give you a head rush if you never smoked before. It doesn’t do that every time. The soothing from the inside out is what the craving is about.

The damn truth
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually 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 Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
Yes he's Pedroshrooms. I know few friends who no longer suffer ptsd and anxiety with

No joke. Quitting was, by far, the hardest thing I've ever done. I was a total mess for six months, and it took another six months to come out of the mess in one piece. Now, I also quit during a really difficult time in my life, so that didn't help. But when you quit you realize how every single thing you do in the run of a day is connected to smoking. You wake up and make your coffee = cigarette. Drive to work = cigarette. Arrive at work = better have a cigarette before I go in. While you work = I should reward myself with a cigarette. It goes on and on. I literally had to relearn to do everything without relying on a cigarette. And I wasn't even what you would consider a "heavy" smoker.
Anyway, it's been just over four years and I'm in the best shape of my life. That would not have happened without quitting those god damned cigarettes. What a fucking scam they are. I'm in Canada, so weed is now completely legal, but it's amazing that in the States cigarettes are legal but not weed. That just tells you that shit is fucked up.
Step into flavor country.
Just explained my day working landscaping, cigarettes have been the only thing I've been unable to quit.
Thirty five years as a smoker, and I'm only 48. Quit over a year ago using patches and gum. Still want one at least once or twice a day. Being able to taste food again and climbing hills makes it all worth it.

It's crazy beacause you can quit smoking but somehow it never leaves your mind. I've been clean for more than a year now and the nicotine was the easy part (took me about 2/3 months until I felt I didn't need it anymore). The hard one was the mental addiction, until this day I still think about it. I'm not addicted anymore and I feel better than ever, but sometimes I still think about the act of smoking itself and about when I would smoke and how I felt doing it, specially in social occasions. It's weird
Same here, I just smoke an imaginary cigarette and forget it 😅
It’s not that for me. It’s not the nicotine or the mental addiction. It’s the flavor. I fell in love with flavor of tobacco especially the peppery kinda spicy. Well I guess I’ll change to pipe I guess

Quitting cigarettes made me see and hear things that weren't there. Not smoking was literally a bad trip. But I quit because this little pile of brown dried up leaves had so much control over me. It felt pathetic. After my second time kicking the habit, I can safely say I am done forever.

13 May 2019 was my last smoke after 24 years; I was 38. I was disgusted with myself for being too weak and allowing the addiction to control my actions. What it took was a friend of mine that made a sarcastic comment of "You going to try and quit again.", that was the spark that fed my pride. I had my last smoke and put a patch on the next day. The following day I was putting the patch on and looked in the mirror and thought, "What are you a bitch? You either do it, or you don't!" I tossed the patch in the trash and haven't touched either one since that day. It was very hard; smoking isn't just the nicotine; it is more of a ritual. After 24 years, every sub-conscience move I made was tied with the act of smoking, driving, eating, sex, downtime, drinking; everything had the ritual of smoking tied in with the action. It was a constant battle of willpower and telling myself that I am not a weak piece of shit and that I'm in control. To this day, I will still get the odd craving that gets triggered by something, but I've learned that it is temporary and will go away.
so you're a strong piece of shit. cool

I'm over 5 years smoke free after having smoked for about 12 years. I attribute my success partly to how rough of a time I gave myself at the start. I quit just before Easter weekend, where I spent 3 nights partying, drinking and having fun, and it was damn near impossible not to smoke. After managing to get through that I knew no day would ever be harder and I could always think back to that time if I was struggling. So my advice for someone quitting is to jump right in the fire instead of shying away from triggers the first couple of weeks, because it will significantly improve your long term chances
good advice thx
Goddamn that after sex dip is the hardest to give up though.
Literally just had a conversation with myself about stopping and I instantly wanted a drag. Shits addicting..

I just quit again a week ago but with the help of 0mg nicotine eliquid... feel so much better but quitting the habit of puffing smoke, even if with 0 nicotine, will be hard too. But way easier than quitting the puffing habit AND nicotine at the same time.
I never got to the end of that book I quit smoking half way through it but I still think about some of the things I read in it, what a great book
I read it and smoked the whole way through wondering how the hell I was gonna stop wanting to smoke by the end of the book. I finished reading it and didnt smoke for 2 weeks and it was so easy. I couldnt believe it because any time I went that long before it would drive me nuts. I smoked one on a random night out of curiosity. Havent smoked one since. It has been about a year and a half so far.

I dip tobacco and have been smoking and dipping for 12 years or so. I beat myself up over it and fight with it every day. I also have been diagnosed with ADHD. I have been left untreated for my whole life and I’m 29 now. There’s no way to explain how it’s crippled me emotionally, mentally and physically. I know dipping isn’t a good choice to make, and I struggle with it everyday. I’ve quit and come back several times. I don’t know if nicotine has been alleviating symptoms of my ADHD but I would like to think it does. I had a psychiatrist (ADHD specialist) once tell me that upon treating ADHD, their addictions dropped away, their depression dropped away. I have a host of mental disorders, but I believe that my problems would drop away when I get fully treated for my ADHD. Living with this condition, disorder, whatever it is, is paralyzing. I didn’t research on ADHD until very recently and everything about it is my life word for word, and I didn’t even know I did these things cause of ADHD. My psychiatrist mentioned that people have something wrong with the reward center in their brain. Self medicating with cigs or dip or alcohol and drugs is common I would imagine. Some research I did brought up the point that even our choices are influenced by our brain, and based on rewards and punishments, meaning that based on how your brain is wired or not wired has influence on your ultimate decision to do something. Let’s try and not beat ourselves up even though at times it is probably one of the hardest things to do, and me being very bad at it.
The problem with quitting is it's not some kind of permanent switch you throw that you don't have to worry about anymore. It's always there, just waiting to come back when your guard is down, when you're drunk, when you're stressed. After being a smoker for 35 years, I quit for 4 years. Never even thought about them during that time. Then I signed a contract that stressed me the fuck out, and boom, I was a smoker again. That was 3 years ago and I'm still on them. It's fucking brutal, man.

I never smoked until I was in my 20s. I never smoked the prepacked cigarettes, I always rolled my own. I buy my tobacco directly from a licensed company that grows organic kentucky blend tobacco.

The "Planting a seed" analogy is so great. It changed my perspective.
I quit opioids but struggle with trying to quit vaping it’s crazy
I quit smoking and vaping multiple times. At one point things were so bad that I was smoking and vaping instead of doing just one or the other. My job setting up concerts had a lot to do with this cause it’s very fast paced and nicotine helps doing that kind of work.
The pandemic happened and it provided me some opportunities to quit! It took multiple attempts but what helped was getting away from my environment to another state for a little over a week and just going through the hell there. I was very isolated but used to that anyway; at least I was not around people I know here who smoke and vape.
When I got home I took all my vape mods and weed (was coming off that too) and threw it all in a dumpster because I knew I had no self control.
I threw $550 worth of weed and weed accessories as well as expensive mods and juices in the dumpster. And drove off expecting to have a sense of peace and weight lifted off.
That did not happen. And for the next 7 days until that dumpster was emptied I thought about every day and night driving down there and jumping in there and getting it all out.
It was a rather rash stupid decision But at the time its what I needed to do because I have no self control.
Could never just hit the vape once and be done.
Got to do it constantly! Ridiculous.
My ex gf used to make fun of me about it.
I still crave it when I have down time or pass a vape store which they’re everywhere but I try to stay disciplined.
Did slip up and buy a Vuse e-cigarette in January and. Wow. But noticed I couldn’t control that either. So I never bought any more cartridges.
It’s tough man. It’s a process.
You may have to go about it differently. But one thing I did I would advise you to do is get away from where you are for a week (at least) and detox. Get some gum if you prefer and stay busy doing something and eventually the withdrawals won’t be bad when you return home. And you will be glad that you did

I haven't touched cigarettes since 2012. Was shocked to see that the price of cigarettes has doubled in my state since then.
€20 for a pack of 35 here in Ireland (about €12 or €13 for a pack of 20 I think) I remember as a kid 30 years ago paying £1.19 for a pack of 20 for my mother which is still under €2
stopped cold turkey because I really wanted to after 2 weeks in thailand smoking cheap brown tobacco stuff al the time, I was a heavy smoker and I smoked cigarettes during 13 years I had enough I was spitting dark stuff and my teeth were in really bad shape. The first week was awful, I had seizures, I remember banging the wall in the toilet at my job, I really could feel the physical dependency. Then came the psychological dependency - reinvent my own life without cigarettes. It took 2 years to really be free from the idea of buying cigarettes. It was 10 years ago and I think I am 100% free now. I am so proud I manage to never smoke again.
abuseofviolence damn dude seizures from quitting cigarettes?
not really "seizures" I have to say but some kind of strong pain in all your body, pulsating pain. 5 seconds of really painful feeling, a few minutes ok, and the pain coming back and these 5 seconds of dying. Extremely difficult to explain you have to feel this extreme unconfortable pain/need. That was what I was feeling, I called it seizure because I don't know a better word for it.

What do you drink?
I know this is 2 Years old comment but Fuck you
Anyone else have the thing where there's no profile picture on the channel?
That's youtube approved NPC
yeah but I don't know if you're the right person to be criticize it
Yep
@@_Singularity_ well I don't think you were the right person to make that sentence.
I guess not
I knew a guy online who said he'd been addicted to Heroin and Meth/Ice - Both of which he was able to quit but cigarettes he couldn't. Here in Australia they are so expensive it's almost like being addicted to self-induced poverty/working to afford a toxic habit - One pack costs > 1 hour of minimum wage = Work a full day a week to afford it in that week.
I’m only 16 and I’m not saying I’m cool for drinking but I did have a really bad urge to drink all the time, until I got a blackout and a hangover from hell, I haven’t drank in almost a year
You've got to figure out what you were trying to accomplish from drinking to blackout. Most alcoholics are running away from something in their life either physically or mentally. I wish you the best in your recovery ❤️
Who tf wants a hangover? Just do acid bro
@@danielzapien24 dude no acid is a drug not meat for everyone.
Smoke meth instead
@@Tigersuplex I’m good 😂
the hardest part of quitting cigarettes is that someone around you always smokes either your friends or relative or neighbor or even in the movies. I was so drawn to smoke after watching peaky blinders and i dont even smoke smh.

nicotine is a stimulant, and it dulls the cortisol receptors temporarily, reducing one's ability to feel stressed. it's one reason it's so popular among restaurant workers and medical professionals. of course, repeated use and withdrawals diminish our ability to cope with stress naturally, thereby creating an addiction.
This guy has the best analogies & metaphors
Why is there no rehab for cigarettes?
Honestly I couldn't agree more, Every smoker and EX smoker I know thinks the same, That shit is unbelievably brutal to quit, A place to go for two weeks just to detox the hardest initial part which I found was 2-3 weeks would be fantastic.
@@bikkyful Thank you for your comment. Smoking has a higher recidivism rate than heroin. Most insurance companies cover drug rehab. Why not smoking rehab?
There should be, but cigarettes is such a revenue-producer. Alcohol is as well (and yet there is rehab for it), but once you start cigarettes, very hard to stop. You become a slave to them and it becomes a bill.
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS PEOPLE TO SMOKE THERE IS A HUGE PROFIT IN TOBACCO THEY DONT RAISE THE PRICE FOR YOU TO STOP SMOKING THEY RAISE THE PRICE TO MAKE UP FOR PROFIT LOST FROM THOSE WHO QUIT ....POPULATION CONTROL WHILE GETTING MEGA RICH ..........AND NOT ONLY THAT SMOKING IS NOT PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK JUST BECAUSE YOU SMOKE IN THE SAME WAY THAT ALCOHOL DOES.....YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE LOSING THERE JOBS BECAUSED THEY SMOKE TO MUCH OR KILLING PEOPLE IN CAR ACCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NICOTINE THATS WHY......
@@mrdonfconnolly77 you do realize the government has to spend more money on treating those who got sick from smoking than they earn trough tobacco taxes?
smoking is injurious to health.
students should reject this bad habit
1 year and a half free smoker, i know its hard, the only advice i can give you ... is never surrender just keep trying, leave the idea of quitting in you head and dont be harsh on yourself when you fail, i experienced the struggle guys, and if you are in this phase i hope you'll free yourself somehow ... someday.
Good luck
Na. It's easy to quit smoking. I quit 8 hours ago.
Man, I only smoked on and off for a few years and quit about half a year ago, but I still crave it. Today, I stood next to a dude smoking at a bus stop and took in the secondhand smoke.
I've caught myself seriously trying not to walk into a gas station for a pack. I guess my life's been good since I've been able to resist. It's usually when I feel super shitty that I start thinking about smoking again. It took a 3000 mile move for me to quit. Had to reset everything.
This mentality that joe has about cigarettes and nicotine has helped me stop letting it control me and instead I control it
Why stop smoking? 2-3 cig a day is not that deadly.
Because most people smoke 20-30 cigs a day
Always remember the wisdom of Bill Hicks. It's just a ride, we all die, so garden as you wish, just don't pretend you're not using roundup.
I haven’t smoked in a month, this is also my xxxxth time quitting. I like to watch this video now and again to put my mind back on track
Taking LSD back in my sophomore year of high school ( IK I was wayyyy too young to be doing drugs but hey) made me realize I was a slave to cigarettes and I've quit due to this realization. LSD can break addictions
in highschool my friend gave me 4 hits of 'LCD' in highschool and it made me think I was a glass of orange juice and that if I leaned over I would spill my contents!
@@ll-mc8bx omg
I'm watching this while smoking a cigarette. I started smoking daily by 16 and now I'm 25. I need to stop.
Jail Time Jake Just do it buddy, there is no perfect time.
@@aayushkumar-sp6zy it's not that easy...that the thing you love the most in this world...ok you got it...and now imagine someone said you cant do this thing every in life again...see how empty you feel.that what we smokers feel when we think about or try to quit smoking.its hard man.im only 3 days in and I hope by bgg the time you read this I'm a year or even 6 months in but I'm just saying.shit is hard bro
If you already have it in your mind then you can do it.just be very desperate about wanting to quit.ive tried vaping but those people died so I quit that,the gum and cfc that didnt do much,cold Turkey but it was horrible and now CV in on the patches.ive become desperate about wanting to quit so now I'm willing to try anything and everything.the next step is going to a doctor if the patches doesn't work
Shaquoyah Crowder nah man it’s not gonna take me weeks reading this comment and getting back to ya.
I completely understand what you saying. I really do, trust me. I’ve been smoking for probably last 6 months like 4-5 a day. When I made that comment I didn’t smoke much at all. It’s really interesting what I found with my little experience with it. 1) it’s not that hard to stop the craving if I want to. I did a little experiment and I didn’t smoked for like 20 days. No problem whatsoever. Though I experienced that morning craving for smoking because my body was telling me to smoke by dreaming about it. But I didn’t. And it wasn’t hard. And what I also noticed that my dreams were really vivid and emotional (do tell me if this happens with you too).
Then why did I continue to smoke ? To be honest I don’t really know. But I have some of my own hypothesis. 1) because my body don’t have any problems with smoking for now. 2) may be a cig just fills a void. Like it pretend to make me feel more grounded. May be just think of smoking as something “cool” when in reality I’m not that cool. It might help me fill that void up. 3) it just doesn’t matter. But this reminds me of a quote “ if you think it actually matters, it does” ( I just butcherd that quote, but it was very moving).
I think my attitude is the problem. “ just a cig won’t kill you. Let’s check that other kind of cig out etc etc. these are just excuses to smoke, I think that “cig. Are very very addictive, it’s almost impossible to quit” is also an excuse for some people.
Peace mate !
@@aayushkumar-sp6zy I read it and yea I'm 5 days in now😁.I read it and I do feel like you have some valid points my dude the example about you feeling a void...I have started asking myself when the thought of wanting to smoke comes to my head
"what is the real reason you want it"
"Is it cause your mad,sad,happy,etc"
And in these 5 days i have found out that its boredom.im a truck driver so most of my time is spent alone,listening to podcasters or looking into the night down a long road. Since I've figured this out I now have started to give myself breaks in between long drives by getting out the truck and getting something to drink or listening to better podcasters and different things on youtube.and that kinda supports your quote that you wrote about the reason I want the cig is an excuse.but I feel like it's an excused feeling...
I'm excusing the feeling of boredom so I smoke
I'm excusing the feeling of sadness so I smoke
I'm excusing the feeling bbn of happiness so I smoke
So instead of excusing those feelings I will just feel them😁
The fact is that we will all die one day. Death is never a simply or painless process, the same as ageing. People who smoke live in the moment with the thought the our bodies are mortal and that suffering is just a part of life. We all have cancer cells in our bodies. Many will never smoke and get cancer. Many will smoke and get cancer. Cancer and everything we do to our bodies becomes a toss of the coin on whether we will die younger or become sick. How can you tell people to stop smoking, a thing that people enjoy when millions of people entertain consuming chemical filled foods, chemical filled beauty products, copious quantities of alcohol, amongst other activities that in the long run worsen your health? There is a double standard in society towards health.

Highly additive seen people get throat cancer and part of there throat gets removed leaving a hole in there throat. They still smoke right thought the hole the cigarettes made. It insane how hard it is for some people to quit
“The relief that the first puff brings me is immediate, astonishingly violent. Nicotine is a perfect drug, a simple and hard drug which brings no joy, which is defined entirely by the lack, and the cessation of the lack. " Michel Houellebecq
Nicotine is a hell of a drug.

Super smart? Id hate to have to talk to you for a half hour.

@@wuvs2spooge Yeah, hes a fucking genius, relative to you.
@@jaydenclarke3093 glad we agree
Smart? Nothing he’s saying makes any sense
As a smoker, Joe your take on it offends me but I know your right. I’m working on it.
you are the voice actor for midnight gospel 100%
I really hate cigarettes and big tobacco, like really deeply and to my core. So many of my family members and loved ones smoke and thats why I don’t smoke, because I’ve sen the effects firsthand and I don’t want to go through that I don’t want to put others through that.
I quit for 5 years, then went to a funeral for my friends son and it was such a depressing event I had one to try and relax and thats all it took. That was 7 years ago. I've quit twice since then and getting ready to try again. Meanwhile I live in NC surrounded by tobacco fields
The only time squares are good is when you’re coked up or drunk
MDMA?
Guys, I'm so healthy - I ride 15k a day atm, no drink, drugs, booze (been like this for 2 years now - used to be a real caner). The thing is - tomorrow I'm travelling and I'll have a bottle of wine and was planning on buying some cigarettes - just to have one or two for old times sakes. I'm now not going to after watching this random pop up on my YT feed. Many thanks dudes, you helped me dodge a bullet.
2:19 yes and yes. I got my ass beat for things that I did- but I think that my anger stems from the times I got punished when I shouldn’t have.
Allen Carr’s book cured me of the nicotine addiction. I was a hardcore 2 packs a day for 20 years and after reading his book I was cured!
Great book that dispels all the bullshit about nicotine that every "expert" has decided is true. Joe (and most people, especially in this comment section) is the poster boy for this ignorant way of thinking.
If you want to stop using tobacco, read Alan Carr's book and you WILL, it really makes easy.
We all know that cigs are shit for our health, but really when you learn just how bad, that info can be enough to stop, or at least help move u closer to stopping. For me it was when I finally realized what I was doing to myself when I lit a cigarette and inhaled it, 20 times a day, I saw it as innnncredibly stupid. I couldn't consider myself healthy or even intelligent if I continued to smoke, knowing what I knew. It's like I learned enough that it dawned on me that consuming cigarettes was like consuming poison, a toxic substance, I was poisoning myself, killing myself. Knowing that prevents me from ever doing it again.
PSA: alcohol is also a carcinogen and addictive
Alcohol is nice though. Cigarettes aren't
Jeo, Cigarettes only give you a head rush if you never smoked before. It doesn’t do that every time. The soothing from the inside out is what the craving is about.
