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.
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.
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 Germany 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 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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!!
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.
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’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
I was addicted to cigarettes for a couple years until late last year, I was on my break at work; had a cigarette. I felt gross afterwards, and now the thought of smoking makes me sick. Helped the nicotine crave with vape and I'm not even tempted to smoke again.
I'm so glad to be free of the things. I've overcome heavy opioid addiction, benzos, lyrica and alcohol. And now, cigarettes. Haven't smoked in 6 months and it's very foreign to me now. I'm now completely averse to the smell of smoke. The other addictions were kicked about 6 years ago.
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.
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 literally just made a video on how to stop smoking - I have been 2 and a half years now and feel amazing. I really want people to learn what I did so they can do it too. feel free to check it out, its on my channel. Hope it can help x
My dad's been smoking for around 20-25 years now. Usually go through 5-6 a day. I can't blame him for not leaving it, seeing the comments below I can't imagine how bad it could be I'm glad I atleast learnt from my dad. Stay safe guys
im not a smoker but in terms of effects, I get it. tobacco hits a lot of what people crave..both relaxation and a mental boost, but just mild enough for them to keep smoking. And then there are the physical withdrawals and cravings
@@jaydenclarke3093 Your language lacks description. You asked a question. I'm going to answer it. serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/models/loops.html Sometimes the action's consequence is the action again. Sometimes the action's consequence is not that action again. This is the difference between a positive and negative feedback loop, respectively. Your language describes negative feedback loops. Duncan Trussel was describing a positive feedback loop. This comment is probably as annoying for you to read as it is for me to write it. If you haven't reached this part of my language, then that's why analogy is sometimes necessary to convey an idea. That's because I'm demonstrating for you exactly how much effort is actually involved with formulating arguments based on reason. But if you did make it to here, then you--specifically _you,_ not necessarily people who aren't you, but maybe them too--you don't need to reason by analogy, because you can reason with logic, A.K.A. from first principles.

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
That happens when you do something to someone selfishly or something. Not because you plant a seed of things what lol this fo is trying to hard to explain this. Cigs are bad there thats all. Theres no carma because u choose to do it. Its called self harm it isn't out to get u its already got you if your doing in rn.
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.
@@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
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
Voting Machines Hacked I'm hearing the voting machines are really hacked. Let everyone know we need both Paper Backup of Voting Machines and Manual Vote Count popular to get the vote back ... ..... ...
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.
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.
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
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
“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
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.
I couldn't quit nicotine, but on my nth try, I managed to swap cigarettes for vapes. My mucous membranes literally couldn't have been more thankful. The rates at which I keep getting the basic flu have dropped massively. So yeah, still a nicotine addict, yes, you can do a lot better than cancer sticks.
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 remember growing up, the trees behind my church had kudzu growing all on them and I always thought it was so beautiful until I found out what they were. Eventually I grew up and all those trees were gone.
It's like anything though. If you really want to quit, you can. It's making the motion, and getting through the first month and discovering the fact of how much better you feel physically that pulls you through. I smoked for 20 years, but not heavily, rarely a pack a day. It came down to how it was becoming to strenuous to my health, that came from wanting to be more physical in activities and work. The best way to either stop or completely in moderation is to look at your inner child, and reflect on why you would hurt this child, that is seen looking back at you in the mirror, and that you as a child in the past, deserve better care of yourself as an adult. Now that a year has passed, I don't even miss it. In fact I can't even believe that I had become a smoker. Just give yourself a break. And get through the stressful situations that come your way.
Charles Lee Ray Not wanting to quit and sacrificing your health may apply to you, but I’d say yes, lung function is definitely worth it for most people.
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
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 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.
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!
Been smoking for 10 years, the most annoying thing is that there are times that i actually enjoy having a smoke, like eqrly morning with a coffee cup or making a 5-10 minute break time on work etc. Would be awesome if i could control this thing that smoke maybe one or two cigs a day and not more.
