Thank you so much. I’m one week in quitting smoking after 25 years of smoking. I’m still having horrible insomnia and mood swings and physical pain. I can’t handle hearing another person say that quitting smoking was so easy for them or that once you make it past those first three days you will feel better. It’s been 7 days and I’m not even a little bit better. I’m exhausted. Thank you for validating how difficult this is.

I stopped smoking about 6 weeks ago and I think it’s more mental than anything I did have insomnia which I still deal with and sweating a lot in my sleep. The worst of all is the feeling I have of feeling like I’ll suffocating in particular after a meal. Also like my brain is saying I’m in pain when in actuality I’m not I think my brain is trying to balance itself back to normal. I’m rooting for everyone and remember you aren’t alone. Thank you for the informative video and god bless you all

I’m on day 10 no nicotine.I feel great. But struggling a lot with anxiety. Like I can feel my entire body and everything feels so tight. Feeling my heartbeat pounding while the heart rate is normal is the worst feeling yet. I’m going strong, still refusing to intake any nicotine or vape. I wish everyone the best luck on quitting smoking or any addiction.

The “draw” of smoking is always what I was addicted to. I’ve abruptly stopped heavy habits several times and that’s the only thing I missed. Don’t think I’ve ever had withdrawals because I wasn’t aware withdrawals were a thing. A lot of addictive behaviors are psychosomatic. Obsessing over withdrawals and timelines can create symptoms that wouldn’t normally be there (precipitated anxiety). This is why AA failed me and quitting alone worked. Talking about booze all the time made me feel crazy. When I stayed away from alcohol and bars and took a vacation to the beach I stopped drinking and never looked back. Attended an AA meeting later and the cravings all came back. I don’t think I’m really saying much in this comment other than suggesting people to just pretend like withdrawals aren’t a thing (except alcohol and benzos because of health danger), and the real symptoms will manifest. Thinking about withdrawal all the time will cause symptoms you never would have normally had. Stay occupied.

Started smoking at 18. Smoked for 13 years and decided to quit Cold Turkey at the age of 30... 1 month since now been going through hell with nicotine withdrawal issues, anxiety and insomnia is the worst part but, i feel better now even though it needs time for the body to adjust to its normal levels and heal again. And i think that the physical symptoms of Nicotine withdrawal are phsycogenic. Wich means that you just have to be mentaly strong to overcome the consiquences. For some, are short time period, For others, may last a bit longer. (Depending on the person) Stay safe and quit smoking! 🚭

Relapsed a bit on cigars, moved out of Cali all the way to Idaho for school. Was smoking about 2 or 4 cigars in 5 or 6 days. Yeah I got introduced to menthol cigarettes in my beginning early 20s. Got hooked the next day, tobacco is one of those substances I regret doing. Think I’m starting to withdrawal right now, it ain’t that bad, I’m temporarily broke anyways, so hopefully that might help a bit. The thought of getting a pack of cigs once I move on college campus is starting to creep up on me though.

@verotaylor At first, when I was craving, all my thinking was about smoking or not, and imagining holding that cigarette and convincing myself not to do it. Then I realised if I shift my focus on that feeling itself, I kinda enjoyed it. When I say enjoy, I mean telling my mind "yeah give me more" 😬 while shewing a gum aggressively, but in a way, it was a funny experience. The worst thing that could happen is smoking again, so it is worth trying. In my experience, 3 or 4 days were enough to really quit smoking. I recommend start quitting at your free time.

I had to quit nicotine twice. The first time was while I was going through Benzo and Kratom withdrawals. I relapsed a month after and went to 6mg Zyns. I kept on seeing Feel Free tonics where I buy them and I relapsed on Kratom. I stopped Kratom without withdrawal. I quit Zyns CT because it tempted me to do Kratom. I’m on day 6. Most of the physical effects are gone but it’s mentally very difficult. I feel so irritable and I crave a Zyn badly. It’s nowhere as bad as Benzo withdrawal; but it definitely isn’t easy

Also a former alcoholic and nicotine withdrawal is far, far worse. My alcohol withdrawal may have required medical supervision, but after a week I felt f*cking amazing and never looked back. Nicotine? I've been nicotine free for months and I've still got brain fog and a daily knot in my stomach. I believe cold turkey fails for most people because they severely underestimate the extent of the physical addiction and how long it's going to take for it to fade away.

I’ve been mostly vaping for the past 13 years, and had a couple of weeks recently where I was completely broke and in between jobs, and couldn’t afford to buy a vape. Six days went by and I felt nothing but anxiety and irritability. Around day 8 though I started feeling tightness, very bad anxiety, insomnia, blood pressure jolts, random heart palpitations, and couldn’t concentrate on anything. So yeah, I don’t think there is much of a difference. Vape withdrawals might be worse tbh idk.

It works but I think it depends on the person and can be situational not everyone has the same journey but we all have the same destination when it comes to addiction and recovery I ctd myself now on day 8 wouldn't fault a single person for not doing ct.do what works for you!❤️🙂

Just keep getting back on the wagon, took me like four or five tries at cold turkey before it stuck. It was hard, but it got easier each time because I knew what was coming.

I dont get angry from withdrawal but anxious. I think angry is better though because people forgive it easiert ironically. Like when your anxious, you cant apologize for being a wimp, but you can always apologize for being an asshole.

I’m wondering if you could give me advice on getting another Xanax prescription. I was on it for a while taking it as needed and then the dr cut me off and it’s super hard to get it. I’m thinking I’m going to sign up with mental health in my area but don’t know how to go about it without making it seem like I’m drug seeking because I do have very bad attacks and it’s messing with my life. Sorry this doesn’t have anything to do with this video but your channel has been very helpful and any suggestions would be appreciated

Don’t know how to explain but when you got PTSD combined with nicotine/tobacco it’s like lighting gasoline on fire.

how was the gum? Ive been on the gum over two years and the gum is just as bad as smoking once you get to a certain age. Things like diabetes and COPD start showing up.

The way you relate to cocaine vs adderall, is the way i percieve cigarettes to nicorette. They have similarities, but one is destructive while the other takes care of the itch and isnt destructive

why the fuck are cigarettes still legal when the have no benefit and so many people are suffering from an addiction that they have unlimited access to? currently quitting nicotine and am angered by how easy it is to satisfy this unhealthy commitment of inhaling poison at every gas station, smoke shop, participating coworker, etc. society needs to rewrite its standards on nicotine. thank you eric for the video its extremely helpful to live through your telling of quitting nic experience. ps.. should we start more intensely shaming people for their smoking habit (even strangers)? Because this was a major motivator that help me give it up

Yeah its true, but I quit for the second time 10 days ago and I had a lot of severe withdrawal symptoms. I was scared because I didn't know what was happening to me. Listening to this dude now I would've been less scared it I knew it was going to be that bad second time around.
