I started smoking cigarettes since my teenage. Got addicted for over 23 years. Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Been a smoker for 15 years, started smoking more than a pack a day. I decided to quit cold turkey. It's been more than a year since I touched a cigarette. The anxiety I got was something I will never forget. I am happy, and I have more energy and stamina. But I do miss the calm nicotine gave me.

@danymajr

Because of this man, 15 of my mates and I literally quit cigarettes and alcohol immediately. Someone protect this man!!!

@Coheed420

so keep using Zyn, i like this guy.

My $0.02 - life is better when you aren’t addicted or dependent on anything. Life is wildly enjoyable and fulfilling when you cut out bad food, alcohol, tobacco, porn, caffeine and shitty people. I’ve walked both sides of the tracks and being free of it all is life changing.

This explains why so many ADHD friends I know are hooked on nicotine. ADHD makes you more impulsive in general. Plus the nicotine has been shown to function like adderall while also having relaxant properties at the same time

@bearieroblox6451

Maybe things work differently for different people. For me personally I use zyn pouches and I just feel really dialed in and complete a lot more work. It also helps me relax and be more stoic as I am normally very aggressive all the time. Im not sure exactly how safe or unsafe they are but I haven’t had bad experiences with it yet. I guess I’ve always been good at quitting addictions but this just seems to be something I don’t really want to quit like caffeine.

I've heard this man speak very many times. This is the first time I have watched him and I have been distracted by how glorious of a mustache this mf has

Hey Doc, love your videos! I've always struggled with depression and addiction. Fortunately I was able to put down the booze and hard drugs almost 9 years ago by adding yoga and meditation to my recovery. I actually wound up going back and teaching for the same nonprofit that introduced me to yoga while I was incarcerated. Would you say the mesolimbic reward pathway is responsible for most or all addictions?

@nathancranford6369

I chewed nicotine gum for a while as an appetite suppressor but it seemed to make my anxiety worse. I replaced it with regular gum and enjoy having one less addiction and more peace of mind.

I would go out on my patio with my laptop to get a lot of work done while smoking cigars. I found cigars really helped me stick to my projects, but I stopped because the side effect was I'd be insanely tired from it.

@justinjbolyard

I’ve been looking into this more, I really want to add this to my cognitive stack… but I am also seeing studies about it lowering testosterone and long term effects on memory and learning. I wish Andrew could share what he thinks about it

I was really hooked on Zyns for about 2 months. Nicotine for me personally is great for about 5 minutes then my dopamine drops significantly and it leaves me feeling extremely emotionally unstable. I also started feeling extremely nervous overall and started having irregular heart beats.

@jaynsilentboom

I specifically picked up chewing tobacco when I was a driver in the army overseas in combat. Helped me stay focused for hours on end. I left the US with 3 cavities my whole life. I came back with more cavities than I had teeth lol.

@201ray

Suffered from what I think to be severe depression which now I think is better. Tried mushrooms ( the chocolate bar type, only had 3.5 grams of shrooms total which I ate 😅) and what happend was special which I won’t share but it did have a lasting effect for me 1 month after I’ve taken it. It basically factory-reset my emotional sensitivity towards anything. Show me a video of a person crying and I will go through the same emotions as that person in that moment.

I started using the nicotine lozenges about 10 years ago to help with dieting. My use gradually increased from 1 tab few times per week to pretty much full day use. Past few years I've noticed reduce enjoyment for the little things. Decreases buzz from things I used to enjoy. I stopped for a week, first few days were a bit rough, not too bad. Then felt more like my old self.
