A big part of quitting any kind of tobacco product is, addressing the role that nicotine has in your life, such as helping to manage loneliness, boredom, anxiety or stress and then creating an environment that supports the journey of quitting. Many people have taken up vaping as a safer alternative to smoking, without the cancer risks of cigarettes. But with the rash of vaping-related illnesses they want to quit now and are finding it very hard to do so. Thanks for the inspiring and very helpful video Andrew!🙌❤👍
@@andrewcipriano You're welcome Andrew, keep up the good work and stay warm. Warm greetings from the hot city of Melbourne in Australia. Summer time for us here!👋❤
I smoked cigarettes from 2004 till about 2011. Vaped continuously from around 2009 until May 8, 2024 6:01:16 PM EST. Nicotine addict for 20 years. 4 days off of the drug completely today and feeling good. Allen Carr and Jack Trimpey have been a big help. You can do it! The brain is an incredible thing.
Wonderful video! I find comfort in you saying you are your problem at this point deal with your triggers. Very in depth differentiation between mental and physical and it really helps!
I’m really happy I came across this video….I was almost smoking 1.5 packs a day (with pot) but have cut back 75% within a week taking advantage of Ramadan. And wish to cut the habit completely within a week or so with a gradual reduction so as to avoid massive withdrawal. Any more tricks or tips would be great! Thanks again!
Honestly, I find psychological pretty easy when you are ready to quit, but the fucking insomnia is killer. I can spend several hours trying to sleep but my brain refuses to shut down, it feels like you are wired and relaxed at the same time, gym exercise doesnt work during acute pahse. Indeed, its counterproductive because you will not recover at all due to lack of deep sleep. Maybe cardio is the best option st this point. I think I gonna stay away of work for a couple of weeks in order to go trough this fucking shit.
Yea can't be from vaping must be other changes that quiting vaping triggered. But hey man I wish I had some insomnia right now I prefer that any day over being super tired and low energy needing and wanting to sleep waay too much
I quit for around 3 months before but got back on it when my sister was visiting during an emotionally stressful time ( our grandmother had a stroke) I found that in times like these when you're in a vulnerable state, nomatter how long you've been sober of somthing its easier to relapse and fall into "old' Habits then it is to endure the pain without any crutch... I learned from this that its easy to be sober when life is going smoothly. But when it gets bumpy you need to have healthy coping mechanism options in place, I've done this time and time agian with excessive amount of marijuana and alcohol, somhow being in mental and physical pain from making myself sick, felt better then faceing the pain that i couldn't control. I think having a beneficial crutch is really curcial to help you hrough those times snd take the seat so theres no room for the habit/poision/addiction whatever you want to call it to join you
This time line is spot on… legit, insomnia first night, day 3 is usually when I throw the towel in, but now ive mentally told myself im more ready and will persevere. Great video 🎉
I'm 1 month off vaping today and it's been the worst month. Sure, I can breathe better and I'm proud of myself, but I'm still so irritable I don't even want to be around myself. And the crying is insane.
I found out that my son is vaping nicotine😭, and he is going through many of these symptoms 😢, he keeps going back to it, he says he is addicted to it😢. I don’t know how to help him😭😭😭. He is only 16 😭😭😭😭
The best way to help him is by loving him unconditionally Fatimah, without trying to assume what is best for him. If he comes to you for help, share resources like mine with him and they will guide him where he needs to be
Dont make him feel ashamed he probably already does, tell him you're proud and will be there to help him with whatever he needs. Ask him when he feels like he needs to vape the most and help him find a more positive replacement for those times. Food, energy drink, walks etc. etc. Its mostly just important to be there but not to force him because thatll have the opposite effect.
Hey man- Nicotine is actually more addictive than cocaine and heroin statistically. it's really really scary. I got off it by timing how often i did and stop bringing it with me to work and everything, but he is a kid and shouldn't be. I think you should lock down on it and give him 1 week off school, and maybe get him to go to therapy or at least talk to you or someone about his issues and reasons why he wants to do it.
I quit 5 days on patch... got pissed off... ripped patch off... been about a month... cravings are non existant but feel like anger and psychosis in waves every few days... seems to be getting further apart and subsides after large meals.
