Tomorrow is day 7! Im gonna make 1 week!

Smoked for 35 years gave up 13 years ago and started again about three and a half months ago 😱 gave up a month ago cold turkey. Very glad I did! You can do it and you’re worth it!! 🙌🏻♥️

It is 2:38 a.m. in Spain... i am really tired of the stress caused by wanting to stop but can't do it. I WILL STOP FROM TOMORROW MORNING..i am leaving this comment to commit myself with you guys and you doctor, i want to show myself and you all guys that i can and we can get back with normal life without smoking...❤

54 days off cigarettes. Today was a tough day, but this video helped me stay clean. Thank you!

I am 8 months clean from cigs and I hate em , also 5 months clean from weed

“The cause of your problem cannot be the solution to your problem” I love that explanation about your stress and quitting I needed to stop rationalizing the feel-better excuse

4th day with no smoking... It's not easy, it was my mate, it was just us two... Some friendships must end though.

I thank you so much dr. frank! As a person with chronic pain living in the netherlands i got addicted to nicotine from age 9 and weed age 12 and i never had any will(-power) to even try quitting. Now i am aged 42 and its just not cute anymore to be this addicted. I am one week nicotine free today, the weed is a bit harder so far but already wayWAY less that last week, all mostly since im watching your youtube ^. ^ Im still an addict and im sure ill go up n down, but at least im trying. Keep up the good work!

Today is day 1. Wish me luck

i smoked for 20 years then vaped for 3 and quit cold turkey thanks to Dr Franks videos - It was as simple as someone walking me through in very clear and concise fashion what I would expirence and how to not avoid that but take it head on with eagerness and realize that withdrawal symptoms are the addiction losing! wish i found Dr Frank earlier!! God bless him and the Frank family.

I started smoking at 14 and am 26 now, this by far is the hardest thing to kick

Nicotine Substance Use Disorder. THANKYOU SO MUCH. thats exactly what it is.!!!. Ive always loathed how people underrate this addiction, it is for some people the worst, myself included. Alcoholics and recreational drug addicts have Meetings, rehabilitation centres etc, we have none of these. We need a rehabilitation/ 3 week detox centre for those who NEED IT.. ❤😢

I'm on the end of day four. Just about to relapse, I'm watching videos to distract myself and I feel like I can't do it. I put a lot into the decision of quitting nicotine, but currently my brain is telling me that quitting is pointless, that cigarettes give such a nice feeling that health problems don't matter as much. And I am beginning to believe it, which is fucking scary. I really hope that I'll make it, that cravings will stop at some point. Wishing luck to everyone suffering from any addiction too. We'll make it.

One of the biggest realizations I had which is also true for porn addiction is that: You only feel relief because the absence of the stimulus the addiction created. A great analogy I heard was it's like wearing super tight shoes all day then taking them off at the end of the day, your relief is an illusion because it was the tight shoes that even created a stressful situation that demanded relief. The only reason smoking makes you feel relaxed is because it lowered your bassline for relaxation/patience/focus/enjoyment, giving into the illusion every time you used. When you start to quit you feel the same mechanism pushing against you like a funnel, trying to get you to sink back in, but what you find is that overtime the incline of the funnel gradually rises until the floor is where it was originally. That feeling of always needing something goes away, and you feel at peace with the moment, ending the cycle of slow gradual discontent that plagues every day of an addict.

I’m needing that next cigarette every 10 mins. Hope your video helps!

I’m quitting smoking in two days, January 1st, I know, such a cliche, lol, but meaningful thought. New year, new me. Wish me luck ‼️

For me there have been two things that helped me. One was, quitting drinking cofee. I found that even after 20 years smoking, i could not stand the taste of cigarettes without cofee. Anither one was eating sunflower seeds. They took care of the physical habit of “bringing something to my mouth with my hand”. And sunflower seeds make cigarettes taste even worse. Also, having someone to help you quit helps a lot. Having someone to hold you accountable when you fail and praise your milestones trought the quitting process. Also, its easier to lie to ourselves, but when you have someone that you are “letting down” when you become weak and fall to the cravings is a big help. If you have said someone in your life, have them secretly record you smoking, and watch the video. At least for me, i was so embarrassed watching myself smoke that it was one of the main things that got me tru. I’ll be honest tho, after 22 years in the military(smoking) and dealing with severe PTSD, i’ll have to admit that smoking got me tru. Instead of consuming the cocktail of narcotics that the VA wanted me to take, i just smoked. And it wasn’t the nicotine what fot me tru. But the fact that smoking was giving me that “me time”. Were i would meditate and think and work tru problems. There are better and healthier ways to accomplish this tho. But the point is, you have to study your behavior in an objective and neutral way (easier eaid then done, and having a partner really helps), and figure out why you actually smoke, and attack/change that behavior.

My worst cravings by far are in the morning...i get up half hour before i need to simply to drink coffee and smoke cigarettes...wakes me up brings me round

I quit for 3 years. Got stressed out about a bunch of stuff and told myself ima smoke one. Been back to it the past 8 months 😑 today i quit for good

So glad you uploaded this. I've recently relapsed on vaping after a whole year of quitting. Your videos helped me quit cold turkey for that year, so I definitely need to get rid of this vape and start fresh.

I discovered this video today 14 Nov 2023 ..16 hrs since my last cigarette . Who else recently decided to quit smoking?

Quit smoking almost 3 years ago but dealing with my stepson drove me back to smoking earlier this year. Now I gotta figure out how to manage the stress without smoking

I've gone from a pack a day to about 5 cigarettes maybe....and I hate it when I do it now ,I don't even smoke the whole thing anymore 🎉

I'm 1.5min clean from cigarettes, 4.5 yrs from alcohol, 14 yrs from cannabis.

The cigs are nice, but aren't my main addiction. Its the gum, i just cant stop using it. Im watching this to help.

I have been smoking for just over a decade now. I quit cigarettes about a month now, and I'm on day 5 of quitting Marijuana. As a result, I'm experiencing severe smoker's flu. I'm making use of home remedies to help my lungs flush out excessive mucus and also took up jogging, which really helps with those annoying morning congestion. Word of advis: You've got this famo. Try imaging who you'd become in the near and far future if you kick the habit and do the same if you continue it. Whether it be physical appearance or health benefits or the betterment of your loved ones, find a reason that matters to you that encourages you to quit. I'm certain I ain't ever lifting a cigarette to my mouth, or any other form of smoking for that matter. Stay healthy

Is there a proper order to quit regarding nicotine, weed, caffeine, and sugar?

I have pretty much quit for all purposes, not thinking about it all the time it’s been like 4-5 months and Iv had 5 cigs in that span… not proud of it but also not upset with it either, My biggest trigger is having a heavy meal and a couple drinks in me, it’s just so soothing to end a night with a smoke and idk how to get that idea / craving out of my head

Haven’t been successful yet but please keep up the videos 🙏

love your free content. It has helped me stop for 10 days now. Thank you again for putting out free content.

The thing to understand is it might not all ways get them instantly. If someone was smoking 30 cigarettes a day for 15 or 20 years

Thanks for the great video message!

I have been trying to quit for I’m on day 2 and I would smoke about a pack a day,Yesterday I had 6 total,today so far I had 4 but what I can tell is that I’m still going threw withdraw just cutting myself dwn by more than half of what I normally smoke!! I WOKE UP THIS MORNING COMPLETELY SOAKED IN SWEAT!!!! Clothes,skin hair..It looked like I just got out the shower 🤦🏽‍♂️

Awesome video Dr Frank... Many Thanks as very much needed for my upcoming quit.

Quiting makes you better for who you want too be 🙂

I’ve been off nicotine for 3 days after using it for the last 4 years everyday. Last night I didn’t sleep at all. I’ve been awake almost 30 hours. Anyone else experience this?

Took me long enough than original said on attempt again, im 7 days in clean. No crutches. 8th hour on the first day was the most intense/peak this time around. Really don’t want to waste my time pouring these hours, days .. weeks down the drain with a relapse. 3 months to make it at and I won’t try moderate again. Not for me personally. I’ve been obsessing with my health and a new hobby, big help.. also playing a pretend game with myself where I try to pretend as hard as I can that nicotine and weed doesn’t exist.. (nicotine being the lead siren of the two)… really focusing else where on other things. & reminding myself when intense cravings along with the mind demons of false prophecy declaring that I won’t be satisfied in the future without allowing myself that high… it’s a load of rubbish. I’ve been peak happy sober.. without any substances before, as a child… also … no matter how convincing the intensity seems… it will pass upon persistence to ignore it. Keeping my guards up at any time necessary

Nicotine gum is making me fail my quits. It is making me hysterical and sick. Feel like 🤮 Plus the nicotine never leaves my system and the gum drives me to want to smoke. No way can I do nicotine replacement. Got to go cold turkey.

Excellent tips and great explanation of cravings. Thank you

To be honest the best way to stop smoking is to meditate and think of the times you got high and believe you are in that moment. You will not want to smoke again.

Achieve: Better mental health

Ha, I was out of smokes at war for over 9 months. Still had nicotine fits. Worse, my ADHD comes in full force makes it super hard to concentrate and that never goes away. Docs will prescribe me Adderall but trading one addiction for a worse one does not sound good to me.

What do you do if your routine is ALL OF THE TIME?

My problem is that I like tabacoo. I hate that it damages my body so severely but I do love tabacco.

This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much

I'm realizing that i need to quit, started at 16, I'm 63, almost 2 packs a day now. 18 years ago i was diagnosed with COPD, and 8 years ago had a heart stent. It's weird because I know i need to quit, but i feel fine and even with COPD i breathe fine. I did a cardio stress echo test and did 12 mets but they said when my heart was coming down, they saw a little fluctuating on my left side, so they say i should probably get another angioplasty just to be sure. So i think my time has come to quit this nasty habit, but I've smoked so long i don't know if I can, but I'll try 😊

Hi i was wondering what your thoughts were on Thanatophobia and how to make healthy coping mechanisms to combat these thoughts.

I gave up smokes 14 months ago no cravings withdrawal no cold turkey and not spending 200 plus a week on the evil things I'm done.

Great tips..Thank you.❤❤❤

My girlfriend just got out of surgery for her lung cancer They took out the lower left lobe She came home and started smoking 2 days after surgery I flipped out She is very tired and is having a difficult time quitting Any advice?

Nicotine is one hell of a substance. I was addicted to a lot of substances and the only thing I still struggle with is nicotine. I want to quit I will quit very soon. It brings my astma out when I am in withdrawl so I can’t quit at the moment because of school and sports so I will wait untill the summer brake. I am counting down the days untill I can be free from this curse.

Thanks boss I quit vapes but not alchohol never that

This hits home bro!

Thanks dr. I shall try your tips and will Succeed InshaAllah

I see no benefit in smoking other than I don’t want to go through withdrawal but you have to realize as long as you smoke you’ll always be going through withdrawal

Step 1 : Read Alenn Carr's book

Thank you for your help!

STRONGLY recommend the book "Easy way to quit Smoking" by Allen Carr's

Hi, I just wanted to share my thing. I quit smoking for 5 years without any problem. Then, a year ago, after some issues with some medications I started using for IBS, I started using again because otherwise I wasn’t able to go the bathroom after I eat in the morning. (I have OCD and this is a big big trigger for me). I tried to quit in these days, and I couldn’t go… then after like two puffs I had to go… The thing really demoralized me cause right now I see the cigarette as a helper (like you say in the second point of the video). I tried to do the “I’ll smoke only that one in the morning”, and of course I ended up smoking the other 4/6 during the day! Here it is… anybody?

I think heating with vaping. Is as close to burning as you can possible get

Thanks Doc

Thank you!

I can't say enough about how I identify with your video

Hunger Anger Lonlieness Tiredness

Thank you ❤

I stoped smoking weed for 2 days now I have to stop tobacco and keep on it

🎉 congratulations

GOD BLESS ALL

Ho do you feel about Mullein for clearing out phlegm? Ty

thanks ❤

If they are inhaling the smoke more deepy. Or the brand is stronger or smoking is just worse for that person. Then smoking 15 a day might not be any safer then 20 cigarettes a day. And them reasons could be why they are not smoking 20 cigarettes a day

Mouth tape? That sounds like something suspicious in a sense that sometimes your nose can get stuffy from all kinds of reactions. Then it will restrict your breathing and I don't see how that would be in any way beneficial. I think the reason we can breathe through our mouth in the first place is to have a backup way to actually breathe. But the nosebreathing topic itself is super interesting nevertheless, since I've had problems with my nose being congested from what appears to be - consuming dairy.

"Second." (Quote by Scruffy, the janitor)

With how they are meant to use nicotine gum. Is it the nicotine they are not meant to swollow or is it something in the gum or both?

Some people might smoke less then others. Because it could be worse for them people. Like they might be inhaling the smoke more deepy the brand might be stronger. Or smoking could just be worse for that persons body. They might not even know that could be why some might smoke less then others

Are you? Hungry tired or lonely children 😅 Is winning off a Baby bottle lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 your wonderful entertainment mortal !

Tomorrow i quit smoking cigarettes but in the future i want to try weed and if its good for me i will use somethimes. And i also want to try kratom and 1 time in a month smoking cigar.

if i smoke 2 cigarettes a day im i considered addicted?

And I like the whitening strips idea also I recently stopped smoking cigarettes and I want my teeth to be whiter

I smoke while wearing those strips.

What are the white strips he is talking about . 🇬🇧

What’s going on with that weird taste in your mouth when you quit nicotine . It’s been 16 days and I still have this weird taste in my mouth .

Blow your mind smoke gunpowder

I’ve been dealing with hard marijuana withdrawals( I have been a consumer for 8 years) and someone suggested I eat a delta 9 gummy so I can eat and relieve the insane anxiety and panic attacks I’m having. Is this considered relapsing or is it okay to eat a gummy to relieve the anxiety?

How do I get my grandfather to stop smoking he is 80 years old June 19th - wont quit for himself or anyone I'm afraid for his life he smokes while he is driving - riding on mower- using bathroom - any advice ? btw : doctor didn't ask him to quit doctor told him to quit he said stop it! before you die..

Man kinda looks like Paul Rudd.

When you stop smoking you realize how bad cigs actually smell. They're repulsive to say the least. Trust me guys you can quit. I went to the gum afterwards and it was effective for me. Maybe it'll work for you.

Chew on toffees thats how i quit been 17yrs now ....

When you're hungry try eating... Try food at first.

there are many misconceptions about nicotine. in itself its a great enhancer and not bad for you in any way other than that u can get addicted to it but why is that a problem if its not bad for any of your organs (if consumed correctly) and it simulates you brain in benifitial ways

Why don't they have nicotine drinks to help people quit smoking? If its as safe as caffeine like they think

I just need a cigarette that will painlessly put me out of my misery.

just light your cigarett the opposite way

Smoking might kill more then half the people who smoke. Because if it killed them over age 80 or 90. They might not ralate the death to smoking. And it makes them lose about 15 years of life

W W W W W W

Too much shit talk! Listening to you made me smoke more!

You really helped me a lot I thank you so much

No doubt everything you're saying is so true
