I started smoking cigarettes years ago as a teenage, spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my husband 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.

[@NetaZjdb]

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.

[@canerbakar-jv2si]

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 🙏

46 year nicotine addiction.. Carton per week. I am on day 23 of being 100% smoke free. Cold Turkey.. I am taking it day by day.. Day 3 & 4 were the hardest for sure. I cried alot. I've cried often the past 23 days. As strange as it sounds Cigs were my friends. Always calmed me down.. So I thought.. Trying very hard to not over think anything and just riding out the crave wave when it washes over me.. I wish us all good luck on this very hard journey and may we all come out on the other end healthy, happy and with a bunch more money in our pockets.

[@marcolapietra4955]

Good luck Christine! 35 years of nicotine addiction here...I have tried to quit three times this year. Now it's my fourth attempt: I am not proud of that, but I don't feel guilty either: it is my own journey, and it's not a linear one. This is my day 3 of my fourth attempt...it's really tough, though I go one craving at a time (like you are doing). Motivation is at its highest and I am really trying to keep it that way...

I dont have words to thank this channel. I had actually quit smoking 12 years ago but to overcome the nicotine addiction, i started using the nicotine gums. Was using the nicotine gums for almost 12 years with extreme addiction. One fine day i decided to quit (cold turkey) and its nearing a month now. Almost all the withdrawal symptoms have vanished. Craving does come sometimes but have trained my brain to overcome it now. For all those who are attempting or planning to get rid of this, please dont be scared of the withdrawal symptoms. Just remember one thing - YOU ARE DOING THIS TO YOURSELF FOR A BETTER FUTURE, FOR A BETTER LIFE. One word of caution - Those who are planning to quit smoking, please do not try nicotine replacement therapy to overcome the nicotine withdrawal. Believe me, it will just spoil your life as you will become more attached and addicted to nicotine than smoking cigarettes. NRT comes with its own set of problems. Quit straight off! Fight the withdrawal and i am sure you will win!

[@Miko-vy7im]

Been an vape and weed smoker for roughly 6 years starting at age 17-18. About to turn 24 and decided ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I recently quit smoking weed about 2-3 weeks and realized that only the first day was the hardest even though my mind was telling me that awful craving would last longer. I still have a small craving for weed but very manageable!!! I plan to officially make today the first day to choose to stop smoking my vape and hope others can gain something from my message. Thank you for helping me strengthen my decision to end a BAD HABIT! The Lord will provide courage and strength when we genuinely seek for it! Excited to embark a new journey for myself and hope to make my future self proud! 🎉

i wanted to smoke weed every day for the first month when i quit. After that the cravings died off. Quitting also made my body not even like weed anymore. The last time i got high i got super paranoid and didnt like it. Only when i drank i would rarely have a craving to smoke weed. For me quitting weed was harder than quitting alcohol, which i cant believe im saying that. Ive been 4 months sober after drinking a case of a beer every day and rising health problems. Now im feeling a night and day difference in health for the better. However, NOW is the time to make a game plan to quit my last addiction. Cigarettes. Wish me luck and i wish you the best as well!

Nicotine is so damn hard to quit, especially being sober from everything because it's my last vice. It's also acceptable in AA and recovery circles. However, the way I look at it is what's the point of being sober and then slowly killing myself and being addicted to nicotine. I don't want to feel like a slave to nicotine any longer. It's a beast of addiction. I've quit so many times, once for 6 months, but somehow manage to go back. This time around, I'm 17 days in and am having bad cravings. I'm not going to crack.

Osmar Castillo going well! I made it a month and a half and ended up smoking some cigars on vacation, but am now 3 days off nicotine again. However, smoking cigars doesn’t cause the same kind of cravings that come from pouches or vaping, which is weird. I haven’t really been craving any nicotine at all. I think if I say I’ll smoke a cigar occasionally, that’s not bad. I’d rather smoke a cigar once or twice a month if that, then chain vape all day long.

Everyone embarking on this journey, you will be tested and stay strong. I found it ironic that when I decide to quit nicotine my buddies invite me to a hookah bar, or when I am a few days clean and all of a sudden I find a disposable vape in my backpack(when it literally wasn't there before!) or when I'm out in public and I see a guy blowing a cloud on the sidewalk. Maybe you just notice it more when you crave it more... But I also think its a higher power at work, testing you, maybe wanting you to fail, almost expecting it. Stay strong, What gets me through the first few days is the statement "Literally JUST DON'T DO IT", you just don't it. Boom addiction gone. But what helps me keep that strength up over time, remembering the amazing benefits of quitting. Remembering the lowered cancer risk, healthy lungs, healthier heart, more discipline, etc. Oh and also realize how Disgusting it is.... All those chemicals, nothing cool about it. Realize how dumb, disgusting and unhealthy not to mention expensive it is You need to learn to HATE vaping. Thats the only for sure way you won't relapse. If you still have mixed feeling towards your old friend you're going to fail and do it again. If you still think vaping taste good or you enjoyed that old buzz it gave you will fail Hate it Thats what helped me quit and I hope it helps you :) need help, comment below

Today marks the 6th day since I quit smoking. I've attempted to quit multiple times, but this time it surprisingly felt easier. The initial two days were challenging, but by the third day, it became more manageable. It's worth noting that I smoked for nearly 25 years, concurrently with my coffee habit. Understanding that the withdrawal phase is temporary and not everlasting is crucial. Reminding myself that this period will pass and avoiding situations that could trigger the urge to smoke, especially during the first two weeks to a month, has been helpful.

I never suffered a single nicotine craving. And then stopping weed was easy. 25 years of trying to quit with tobbacco no luck. And then this method took absolutely no effort. And now I don't have any vices at all. It not cheap method, but it was very effective for me.

[@lisawillis8044]

Ngl your vids help man… this is my first time actually relatively succeeding at quitting nicotine. I’m almost a week in, and the first 2 days were hell. Is very helpful to hear that the cravings stop at some point. I keep thinking about the fact that the withdrawals is just the nicotine leaving my body

[@lisawillis8044]

Now 2 and a half months in no nicotine in 5 years

[@Worminthedirt]

Gosh your videos are so helpful!!! I’m only 3 days alcohol free but 11 days thc free and am now using 14 mg nicotine patches which now I’m thinking I need to get off of these too… I was using a whole can of zyn a day and at least my gums are getting a much needed break… but I’m so close to kicking everything ugh.

[@AddictionMindset]

You are very close!!! That’s a heck of a journey. Very very glad to hear you are finding the help you need on the channel. More than happy to have you here

[@ilia2178]

It's not that you suffer for 3 months and as soon as it's day 90 you feel amazing and cravings free. It's a gradual process where you will feel better every day. After 2 weeks I already started to feel quite normal.

[@royfernandez3945]

14 yrs smoking. Have quit more than a year plus. This January will be my 2 years of cigarettes free. Heres the reality. Nicotine craving does not go away. There are days i dont have it. But from time to time its a daily struggle to pop a stick and light a fire. Its a daily craving even after a year. Its hard and its harder on harder days with stress, depression and anxiety. I have to keep telling my self to not get it again and its true the best solutions its to distract and think of something else. Its true the craving last just a few minutes, but its a daily fight for me. You are your own motivational friend 🧡 good luck frends.

[@wimbronkhorst7382]

This is very helpful and effective advice. As a visual thinker, the wave analogy is very powerful. I often imagine myself in a warlike situation as a soldier fighting in battle (usually the viking age). I am going to employ this method in my quest to beat the foe of nicotine addiction. Thanks my brother!

I don't usually comment, but this index cards idea is as great as it is simple, thank you, doin it right now ! and it really is psychological, smiling and suffering, day 3 :)

[@epicgoathenri]

Thank you so much for putting this channel together, I’ve found it very helpful :) I started watching your videos about 2 weeks ago and quit nicotine almost then and there. I have had 3 lapses after lasting 9 straight days without nicotine. I had about 15 puffs of a vape over 2 days from a friend. Then the next day I bought another vape which I’ve had for the past 3 days, pretty much back to normal habits. I know I’m just making excuses for myself, and I already felt so much happier after the first 4 days of going cold turkey. I’m throwing my vape out today (again) and won’t be looking back…. God it’s so shameful for me to have these addictions….

[@KaitlinEvans-x1d]

Today’s day one for me! This video is giving me so much motivation 👏

[@serrahfox]

I'm on day 10 of being nicotine/vape free!! 😄🙌 I've been watching your videos for about a month or so Frank... been trying to quit, could never make it past 24 hours lol. Then suddenly about 10 days ago I got HORRIBLY sick with a severe cold or flu. I was sooooo out of it. Zero energy, super tired, super sick. So I used that time to officially quit. I basically slept through my withdrawals! Lol. I keep coming back to your videos because I want to know that these cravings won't last forever. I get them randomly throughout the day, and you're right they don't really last that long. I'm just superrrrr looking forward to the day where I don't get them at all! Thanks for all your videos, they really helped me!

[@mjolnirswraith4113]

One of the things that nicotine does is giving andrenaline and the things like that in the morning, without nicotine waking up feels hard for me. On one of my quiting attempts I did face the cold shower for the last 10 seconds and this did help me to wake up in the morning because of the andrenaline release. Soon I will quit again and I will be facing the cold shower again. Good information, I'm done being the lab rat! If the crafings hit I tend to go outside doing short walks to be in another mental state. The steps to go outside take long enough for the crafing to fade.

[@Y_Grim_R]

Congratulations to everyone who is smoke free! I am 2 years clean of any nicotine products after a 10 year addiction. I can say the cravings dont bother me on a day to day basis. I do happen to start craving it during times of high stress though and have to really demonstrate self control. So they never completely leave. But it gets so so much easier with time. Good luck on your journey friends.

[@katiehaywood2536]

[@119jle]

I found if you cut down a McDonalds straw to the size of a cigarette and grab that every time you had an urge to smoke it fools your system and takes away the craving

[@andrewdoeshair]

20 years on nicotine (10 smoke, 10 vape) now I’m on day 51 without nicotine and I’ve gotta say, it’s barely getting easier. I get the craving less frequently but when I do I want it just about as bad as I did on day one. When I get frustrated at all my cravings come right back, and when I catch myself with extra downtime my cravings skyrocket. I’ll feel my mood start to pick up as I’m about to take a break at work or sit in traffic headed home, but then I remember that I don’t smoke/vape anymore and every time it still feels devastating and frustrating. A few times per day I go through various stages of grief and loss for my old routines. I’m having a pretty hard time staying quit but I know that I don’t want to go through it all again, I keep telling myself that maybe on day 60 (or 80, or 365) I’ll feel like I’ve never smoked before. I haven’t had alcohol in almost a year and that was a piece of cake, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t mind going the rest of my life without alcohol, but nicotine seems to have a stronger grasp on me than anyone else I know who has quit it. I’ve even stopped doing certain activities I used to do while vaping (editing videos, playing video games) because I know the cravings will make those activities feel like torture. Anyone here have similar experiences? I’m about ready to call a therapist or something to talk me through this 😐

[@heyitsangelica3285]

A therapist would be great. It is about mentality. There’s that saying, “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” You can start by trying to change your mentality around lack and start by noticing little positive things about not having nicotine. 1. You won’t have popcorn lungs. 2. You won’t have to deal with doctor bills that will inevitably come from vaping/smoking. Etc. When you get a craving, say an affirmation: “I’m glad I’ve made it this far. Things are going good.” Little things like that will start to change your view into a more positive one, which will give you more happy hormones and you won’t feel so weighed down without it and you’ll realize how free you actually are. You command your brain, not the other way around, lie to your brain. It’s what you’re doing now, thinking that it’s just as bad as before, but it’s just a thought. Change your thoughts. Dr. Joe Dispenza has some great content about changing your ways of thinking and the power your mind holds. It could change your life in a more positive way and it all starts with our thoughts around things.

[@alexjae1901]

I’ve been wanting to stop. I finished my last one yesterday morning. I quit cold Turkey bought a bunch of crunchy snacks and gum. I actually just want to stop this time I want it to be done. I’m tired of craving it. I’m tired of buying it. Thank you for making content. I don’t want it anymore and it makes me feel good to remind myself what you say. Killing the nicotine receptors !! Good bye leave me I don’t need ya no more nicotine!! I’m not craving it they are dying screw you nicotine I drink water I don’t need you!

Day 2! Wish me luck

[@Bebe_Dee]

Update?

[@SorryNotSorry4You]

@@Bebe_Dee I went 15 days and started back but I felt better than I'd felt in a long time. I could smell and taste things better. Breathe better. I'm preparing to stop again soon. Thanks for asking. What I did realize though is that I'm strong enough to stop and the cravings do go away. They didn't go away completely but I could see that had I continued to not smoke they would have because my cravings were becoming non existent. Hopefully this time I'll get over the hump and quit for good

[@gino2634]

It’s exactly 3 full days right now. and i can tell you the craving is not as bad as the first day craving. I’m hoping that every day that goes by will be easier than the last. also i’m hoping that my phycological addictions will go away

[@Mikelanzarote]

I am 2 months nicotine free (went cold turkey). Just last week I was flying high because I was going through all day without thinking about a cigarette. I thought I had this in the bag. However over the last few days I have felt like I am back to square one again. Constantly on my mind and Im having to go back and watch videos again to remind myself on how to cope with cravings etc. Why o Why does this happen?? Nothing has changed for me. I am no more stressed than I was last week. I cant put a finger on why this could happen and its freaking me out. Has anyone gone through the same thing or has an answer?

[@nachikettchatterjeee6518]

hi i totally understand you. i m on 15 days cold turkey. and it still feels like i am on day one. i m preparing for a competitive examination with high pressure on myself, which couldve been a trigger for me, so i try to stay indulged in my studies, but it still feels like im on the first day. maybe it will never go away, maybe it will always stay. maybe it is something that we brought up on ourselves, so might as well learn to live with it. i think of it as an unfortunate circumstance, and remind myself on why i actually tried to stop smoking, and continue on with my life. remember that cigarettes are infact death sticks, and you have to give it up, no matter what.

Have been smoking for 8 years. 100hrs into this and I cant explain how bad and weird I am feeling right now. Cravings are at peak, cant sleep for more than 3 hrs at a time and there is a constant headache since I quit. Meditation is helping me a lot right now, I have been writing positive statements in my notepad and have cut off from all other smokers. If you ever find yourself picking up a ciggerate just take a deep breath and flush it down the toilet, all it needs a quick action. I dont know how long i am going to suffer, but I promised myself even if this kills me right now, I am going to quit. I dont want to feel like a "Lab Rat". 😣

5 days in. I'm doing pretty well. Sleep has been the main issue. I normally sleep like a baby, and I'm getting 3-5 hours a night. I know this will all pass though. I just paid a hypnotist 500!!!!!! Didn't work. I've been up and down trying to quit for 2 years, constantly obsessing and then when I go back using so much nicotine I almost pass out. It's a serious problem. But it's all over. These videos from Dr frank I keep listening to. It's working to picture those nicotine receptors dying off. Another day! Victory is mine

[@Bawlstacheo]

Really happy I stumbled upon your videos. I cant remember which one it is but Ive been binge watching your material. Something you said really resonated with me, which helped kick start my cold turkey journey from THC and nic. "Have you ever told yourself you were going to quit today, but end up putting it off to tomorrow, then next week? Well thats a sign of addiction, you become less of a man of your word". It got me upset at the moment so i took my last hits and threw the devices in the cabinet. Day 5 and these cravings are intense but im so happy im able to say no. I forsure want to quit nicotine for good, but I would like to be able to use THC in a recreational manner that wont spiral me into my previous self now that I have the information on what happens when THC is abused. I dont have cravings for thc thankfully, i hate the cravings for nicotine, because you can literally hear your inner though negotiate with the addiction.

[@MoonchildOfDarkness]

Quit weed completely. Went back to smoking and vaping (tobacco and no-nic juice). Don't like how it makes me feel, don't like the addiction. Just listed my mod up for sale and tossed my cigarette. Back here again to make sure I'm ready for the cravings. There was a brief period where I quit inhaling anything other than air and I liked how I felt, even if getting there was challenging. Wanna get back there again. Let's fucking DO THIS.

[@Jross883]

Honestly thank god I didn’t decide to pick up a vape until I was 18. It’s been a year now and I feel like I want to quit desperately. I have to get healthy for a major spine surgery and the dr has told me to quit smoking all together and it’s been a challenge

Over 10 years a pack a day smoker sometimes more, cold turkey quit 10 days ago. Was an alcoholic as well for many years but funnily enough i make 10 months sober tomorrow on the 22nd. i still smoke weed but not heavily, but thats it. Im still having some cigarette cravings but honestly idk if its the craving or just being bored. Didnt realize how much of my day went to just sitting outside smoking a cigarette now im trying to fill those voids of empty times. Only difference so far in my health i noticed is im not havint heart palpitations anymore, breathing got slightly better but it got harder to smoke weed, cough easier from small hits. Google said its from walls of lungs in repair mode from cig damage. Im on youtube daily so if any questions im happy to answer

[@Takenages]

I can tell you this... if you have any faith in our God and you TRULY want to quit, ask him to heal your body and make him a promise you won't ever touch another one. Thats what I did and I know no matter what I want or how bad things get I cannot break my promise.

Just tried the laser therapy acupuncture to help quit. Been on and off for a few years and never considered myself a heavy user until a few months ago. On day 3 now.

[@FactsFront]

I have been smoking since 10 years. One day i feel i had enough, everything was going bad in my life, so i have inner thought that i can start making my life positive from today by not smoking. It's my mind craving and i am supplying it. So i took last cigarette and burn rest of them and convinced myself no matter what i am quitting , the pain is temporary, benefits are permanent. For the first 3 days it was really hard craving, i felt so weak, mind was really foggy but i decided to punish my mind and drinks a-lot of water. After one week i started to feel clear and happy, i dont feel much withdrawal symptom. I am really proud of myself for beginning of healthy lifestyle. My suggestion for everyone quitting please trust yourself you can do it, it is really darkside of life where you need constant pleasure, it's never ending mind game, you will be really proud of yourself just bear it for 1 week and later on it will be much easier.

I struggled with nicotine addiction for years. I was more of a casual smoker, but I did enjoy it. I would often smoke Captain Black cigars instead of cigarettes too. Then I would get addicted to chewing nicorettes or nicotine lozenges. This went on for years and years and years. I was always trying to quit with no lasting success. I would be nicotine free for a couple of weeks and then I would find a pack of nicorettes I forgot abut in my jacket and would convince myself that just chewing a couple won't hurt. It was a never ending cycle. I actually quit just by accident, if that can happen. A few years back I decided to take a break from drinking alcohol. Once I stopped drinking any alcohol the desire for nicotine drastically decreased. I know that won't work for every person, but it did for me. When I decided to start drinking again I had no desire to pick up any nicotine product. About a year ago I quit drinking alcohol altogether and recently decided to give up all THC products too....Life is interesting!
