The Hardest Part About Quitting Nicotine (its not withdrawal)

2.5 years off nicotine, 5 months off Alcohol, and beginning to question my relationship with Cannabis. Blessings to everyone.

it's very simple. You have to go cold turkey and realize your brain is rewiring itself. Have a craving? Do an activity. It will help the rewiring. You will learn to do things you used to do without the nicotine again and the anxiety will decrease in the long term.

I’m up to 6 weeks with no nicotine thc and 2 weeks no alcohol I’m still fighting through my mind and body trying to convince me that I need it but keep telling myself that I don’t and I’m sticking to staying sober. I keep trying to tell myself a year from now I’ll feel great and I’ll look back and just smile and realized it was worth it my life is worth it. Thank you for the content and reassurance

Listening to you list off all of the minor inconveniences involved with maintaining the addiction and realizing I do those exact things is a huge reality check. I just threw my last vape away and will be quitting. I’m nervous but ready to be free from this. Thank you!

My wake up moment was a few weeks ago when my dad survived a major heart attack in his early 60s. I’ve always been health conscious about my diet and exercise. However, after serving in the US Army for 9 years, I picked up smoking and eventually switched over to vaping. After a good look at how I can improve my own health decisions, I decided to throw out the nicotine for good after over 6 years of use. I’m going on two weeks nicotine free and I have to say, it’s been very liberating and after the first few days, I’m not even getting the cravings. To anyone else battling it, I believe in you ❤️

I feel like the worst part is that after your finished with your first vape, you probably haven't been actually buzzed since your first vape. Like at this point your not even doing it for the buzz your doing it and you don't even know why.

I’ve watched a lot of your videos over the year out of curiosity but this is the only one I could relate too I think. Actually have my attention now and I’m going to check this book out. I’ve been telling myself that I know I don’t need to quit and that nothing will probably force me to stop unless I want too. This video reassures thoughts thoughts I had. Thank you

best content i've come across in this field. thank you 🙏🏻

I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I quit smoking tobacco 10 days ago and today after doing some deep thinking about my inner feelings and thoughts I’ve realized that have 0 withdrawal symptoms and 0 want to smoke whatsoever. At this point I truly believe I’ve kicked the habit and now have the willpower to never smoke again. because of your videos and most importantly your words I had the knowledge about symptoms and withdrawal the strength and the motivation to get through the hellish first 3 days that normally would best me to a pulp ending with me smoking again. You’re doing amazing work and I am a testament that your videos work for people. Keep up the amazing work you modern day saint!!!

I can't believe how relatable this was. Day 2 of no nicotine. Threw away my vape yesterday morning. Hadn't bought any new pods in a week but up until yesterday had been getting every last drop out of my existing ones. Everything you said I was able to relate to and it helps to know I'm not alone in any of it.

Absolutely brilliant analysis, & wonderfully clear presentation.. I am not a user of nicotine or any drug but will forward to those whose health is impared by it. Thankyou so much.

My husband died from alcohol abuse after having mouth cancer through drink and smoking. I've given up smoking weed.

thank you, i was encorouged by your channel to quit and watch your videos to stay calm

Great video bro!

so helpful on my journey tysm☮

One of the best channels on addiction, really love your content. used to take IQOS and already free for almost a month, challenging but doable. Do you have any information on heat not burn product? like IQOS etc? I really want to know how damaging this is in order to keep going. perhaps you can make a video on it. Many thanks!!!

Most people be trying to get you to not get help, it’s like wtf, people get mad at you for quitting Tabasco but not for smoking tobacco

I used to believe in "addiction" until I quit smoking cigarettes & weed after 35 years, then I realized it was just a "choice" ... clean 6 years. The only thing that helped with cravings was MOVE!! Hardest was having to learn to drive without smoking. It gets easier. Weed withdrawals was HELL.
