Props to Kat for quitting the day she got a positive pregnancy test. That’s a great example of a mother’s love and sacrifice. And I appreciate her honesty about it all.
Successful people can be authentic. Authentic in the sense that they are being themselves, talking about something personal, that goes on or went on "behind the curtains". You don't have to like them to comprehend that. Although I'm sure your response will be pretty predictable. @@wxrth-7513
I use to drink a 12 pack of beer a night and smoke 3 joints everyday for 20 years. A year and 6 months totally sober. I feel everything and the mornings are now my favorite. For me, I have found that I have had to embrace sobriety, hold it close, squeeze it and want it more than my next breath.
Wow I've never heard it put that way but you hit the nail on the head and to express yourself like that is beautiful! I'm 7 years sober from opiates and even tho I have a lot of life struggles and am living with constant stress, fear and anxiety I will never go back. I'm proud of you!
If you had to choose between vaping and smoking (because quitting cold turkey could give you a heart attack), you'd choose smoking? Because tar is so much cooler than vape juice that's proven not to leave any resadue?
@@OfficialTrickertrent bro the only drug in existence that can kill you from withdrawals is alcohol. You are not dying from lack of nicotine unless your heart is already fucked up previously
I smoked heavily for 27 years. On a friend's referral; I picked up the book "Allan Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking." and read it on a Saturday & Sunday. By Tuesday I had quit smoking and felt really happy and excited about it. That was ten years ago and still haven't had any urge to pick up a cigarette. I'm just commenting this in case anyone else out there is interested and has tried everything else, like I had.
Same I used it for vaping and then his book for cannabis as well Also “this naked mind nicotine” is a modernized more scientific version of the smoking one and this book combined with the OG Allan carr’s sealed the mf deal for me. I’m free baby
I read it too, very helpful. But what finally kicked the habit for good was asking Jesus to take it from me. Tried to quit for ten years,quit for good the night asked Jesus. That was five years ago
It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity like kat just being honest and real and wanting to better herself for her and her child. Good for her. I’m sure she’ll inspire many young people to be better people. 👍

Ikr I’m in the process of tapering off, I gave up straight tobacco went to vaping and still going through withdrawls it’s crazy how strong tobacco is. I’ve quit vaping before which is why I wanted to do it this way. Now weed is down to about .5 a day. Switching to CBD after this joint that lasts me a couple days. Slowly tapering off made me feel so much more okay with quitting. Been planning this for months and so far tobacco is gone forever, about to give up weed for cbd and then vaping cold turkey once this disposable is gone

@@lilkid8486 Hard on your body, mind, wallet, brain, on and on. None of my friends who were heavy pot users got away from it easily. It definitely is addictive and they all eventually needed and wanted to stop using pot.

@boop-u6u it definitely takes time. Getting high constantly means suppressing all those difficult emotions, not getting rid of them. Once you quit, the anger comes back tenfold and then it's time to learn to process it. Anger isn't wrong or bad, it's just uncomfortable. Hang in friend, you got this.

Cigarettes and alcohol addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago, when i lost my husband I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Not until my son 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.

I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

I love this! I could sit in a room and talk to these 2 for hours.....and I have a ton of respect for Kat, she's bright and articulate, and seems completely at peace.
Thanks for this! 2 years,4 month,21 days sober right here from heroine, coke, benzos, oxys, weed. 1 year and 3 month clean from cigarettes. Still Going strong and life changed to the better - much better ! 😊
I smoked cigarettes for 31 years…2021 I almost died from Covid… I was in the hospital for 2 weeks … I stopped smoking then and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through. The only thing that helped me was to drink a cup of coffee when I would have severe cravings.
There's a teacher on here named John Melton, who created a great smoking cessation program using hypnosis and it is really, really effective. I took the class in 2006 and it helped so many clients to quit. He sin here teaching self hypnosis, maybe check it out, it's very relaxing and you can learn to do it yourself anytime.
I wish caffeine and other stimulants were discussed more in the addiction arena. As someone who’s got a lot of work and family obligations I became hooked to caffeine and pre workout drinks in my early 20’s. Long term use definitely changes you. Now a days I have more temperance but it definitely is a battle.
Yes! Caffeine is actually very harmful. I'm trying to quit after 30 years. Parents definitely shouldn't give it to children as well. It has a massive knock on effect physically and mentally.
I've withdrawn from caffeine twice by accident and it is unpleasant, three days of splitting headaches and feeling like garbage. The second time I was hiking in the middle of nowhere and I insist on using map and compass, could barely read the map. Could have found myself in trouble. I'd definitely cut back and then cut it out if I quit in future.
Same thing happened to me. I was so addicted that I had fight or flight mode running 24/7. My adrenaline was off the charts. It took a long time after quitting for it to normalize.
I appreciate that shes like "no, I LOVE smoking". That's my problem, I can forget about how much I enjoy that first smoke with a cup of coffee etc... If you ENJOY smoking, when you decide to quit for whatever reasons, you don't forget.
I'm a Hypnotherapist and have worked with a lot of clients who were ready to quit, but we always talk honestly about it. It's OK to admit that you love it, lol. You can still quit, and that honesty actually helps the process.
@@Kinesiology411I read that one of the things in Alcoholics Anonymous is no more lying about ANYTHING, and i guess the honesty helps people with their sobriety
@@jasonjason5325 A part of the reason many never quit is because they are brainwashed into thinking that the short term gratification of the addictions is makeing them relax. When in reality it`s just relaxing under the consumption. Then comes the hangover, anxiety, shame, fear and so on. That is the addiction is fooling us into thinking that we are " cool, sexy, relaxed" when in reality we are getting fat, stupid, stressed, anxiety, fear, poor, unfit. Try reading " Allen Carr`s", " easy way to control alcohol" and " easy way to quit smokeing/vapeing". I think you will be surpriced that in fact it can be done. And that there is nothing wrong with you. This is how i did it.
My personal experience is that my "want" to quit drinking and smoking came from a place that I can't explain. It came as an epiphany and I just quit after 40yrs. It was uncomfortable for about a week and then it went away. It doesn't even cross my mind. Much better on the sober side of the fence. Congrats to both of you!!!
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I had the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.

Thanks for bringing such a beautiful human on the show. Kat seems so honest and humbled by life. Always big on seeing the human side of celebrities. You rock brother
hard to get good clean food, the fresh fruits and veggies in super market are poisons, loaded with chemicals and we eat that. That's why you hear of someone passing but was 100% healthy, no junk, no liquor no smoking or nothing, just a healthy life style and they die of cancer..
Theo’s comment about not having a family hit hard….I can relate on more than one level. As did the doing “X” by myself because I don’t want to share. Great work Theo!
Most beautiful thing I’ve seen is her husband the singer of Prayers crying on David Choe’s show explaining his crazy childhood relationship with his father growing up and now being a father and the entire time Kat held his hand and told him it’s ok. I wish everyone gets a partner like her
Great analogy, Theo. It became my God/higher power when it was uncomfortable, I was angry, hurt, and a moment let me hit this thing. I will take that shit with me... Another great podcast/interview! Thanks, Theo.
I know the feeling of quitting, smoke for like 12years switch to vaping, then dipping. And finally kicked it years ago. The whole time i never thought i had an issue until i actually wanted to quit, and i realized how hard it was
I loved it. Vaping more then cigs weirdly. Switched to vape from well backwoods blunts with little weed. What made me quit is seeing my bullies quit smoking, my ex gf quit. I was still in shape so I had too or waste away.
I used to be addicted. Now I’m addicted to having a clear mind and being able to think well. When I’m sober, I’m not holding myself back in life. Addictions are the worst self inflicted wound that will never heal if you don’t stop it. It will literally kill you.
During covid my occasional recreational drug habit quickly exploded into a full blown $500+ a week habit when i was informed they were gonna give me $900+ a week to not work and nothing was open so couldnt really do anything. It quickly turned into me just sitting at home by myself. Doing drugs and watching RUclips. For basically an entire year before i finally ended it. P.S. i was making around $550 a week working before covid lol
Yeah it is crazy that what happened to you is exactly what they wanted to happen to most of the population. And it worked 😊 glad you are doing better now!
lol i worked the entire time during Covid and only made 1600 every 2 weeks. I could really careless that you chose to be a bum with your money. And be a leech off the government.
What Theo said about vaping hit me. It is/ was his God. Feel uncomfortable.... hit a vape. I think people do that with social media, pot, porn, alcohol, smoking..... you name it. A relationship with God is what we really need. Great chat!!!!
The worst part about quitting cigarettes is you can't have "just one more". Instead you have to buy a whole pack, and then feel obligated to smoke the rest. It's a vicious cycle!
Funny how Kat told him to be a man and not vape it immediately reminded me of a old podcast of Theo talking about ditch the vape, smoke a cigarette and be a man 😂 damn
I go extreme with everything I do, which is really a big fault... I started smoking at 19 (some sadness hit me) and I tried to quit so many times.. My first successful quit lasted 3.5 years (using a tablet) and I went back after an argument. I reached about 25 Cigs a day and I remember playing with my kids, hiding and smoking and I said that was it, I hated that it controlled me...I'm smoke-free for 4 years so far and I always keep reminding myself that it's very easy to fall back....
Love how Theo explains it, I've quit now for months both but I was having these same thoughts as Theo so its good hear him explain it so you know your not alone you just get tired of being a slave to these 2 addictions, bad habits until you step up and say no and have some serious will power and tell the addictions to go to hell I'm not doing this anymore.
Quitting smokin and drinking and focusing on what's important honestly made life and it's experiences 10x better and if u would of told me this before i quit i would of laughed as hard as i could now i realize i was chasing temporary fun that went away by the time i was 22 and my life was so bland and depressing now im full of life and laughter and have the best group of people in my life its truly a blessing just takes some work we all got that fire in us just gotta go thru with it
Literally just broke free from cigarettes’ throat-charring grip. And all because of a week long cold, of all things. Your lungs sure do immediately thank you for quitting.
I stopped smoking last week. Around 15 cigs a day for 4 years. I tapered off by putting a little bit of tobacco in a pipe, and taking a hit whever I'd get super irritable. Eventually I was down to taking 2 hits of tobacco a day, no cigs, and I stopped completely last week. It feels awesome. Just remember all the side effects like brain fog, irritability, cravings, are basically your entire system healing itself. Think of it like soreness after a great workout.
3:17 Hot take; that's easily the most toxic take on vaping that I've ever encountered after spending years in the industry. Like ... look i used to be one of the weirdos using the the hobby level vapes, but now I'm one of the 13 dudes still juuling and I'm fine with that, but lets just be honest, at least I'm not outright killing lung tissue with smokes, though disposable vapes feel like they're likely as bad as smoking lmfao
Two of my favorite people ever. I didn’t think I could ever, possibly be more attracted to Kat. But, she just gets more and more attractive the older we get.
Ive always felt bad for alcoholics, I was a Heroin addict up until 9 years ago and I cant Imagin trying to quit heroin and seeing it at restaurants, stores, weddings just everywhere
I was chain smoking a pack a day for about a year, sometimes 2 packs. Smoked 4 in one sitting and knew I had to quit. Went cold turkey and always came back to it years later. Really struggled with it for a couple years. I took mushrooms once at a festival and I've never really had the urge since then. Apparently mushrooms are effective 80% of the time for quitting nicotine.
I quit using heroin, cocaine, alcohol, but nicotine has always felt impossible. I did go from 2 packs a day to vaping, but now I suck on the vape too much. At least I don’t have the chest pains, and coughing up phlegm.
"life becomes an inconvenience". The most shameful truth of addiction. God help us.

You smart asses are unlikable.
I love this! I could sit in a room and talk to these 2 for hours.....and I have a ton of respect for Kat, she's bright and articulate, and seems completely at peace.
this is like two good friends talking! so genuine and funny and full of grace towards each other
She is super chill. I really enjoy listening to her talk.
Thanks for this! 2 years,4 month,21 days sober right here from heroine, coke, benzos, oxys, weed.
1 year and 3 month clean from cigarettes. Still Going strong and life changed to the better - much better ! 😊
Great to see Kat thriving and healthy. I met her at a tattoo convention 17 years ago and she was cool as fuck.
I smoked cigarettes for 31 years…2021 I almost died from Covid… I was in the hospital for 2 weeks … I stopped smoking then and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through. The only thing that helped me was to drink a cup of coffee when I would have severe cravings.
There's a teacher on here named John Melton, who created a great smoking cessation program using hypnosis and it is really, really effective. I took the class in 2006 and it helped so many clients to quit. He sin here teaching self hypnosis, maybe check it out, it's very relaxing and you can learn to do it yourself anytime.
hesitate no that ain't end right, they call that can'tgetright
“Invisible Friend” masterfully said, by Theo when speaking about a “higher power”
I wish caffeine and other stimulants were discussed more in the addiction arena. As someone who’s got a lot of work and family obligations I became hooked to caffeine and pre workout drinks in my early 20’s. Long term use definitely changes you. Now a days I have more temperance but it definitely is a battle.
Yes! Caffeine is actually very harmful. I'm trying to quit after 30 years. Parents definitely shouldn't give it to children as well. It has a massive knock on effect physically and mentally.
I've withdrawn from caffeine twice by accident and it is unpleasant, three days of splitting headaches and feeling like garbage. The second time I was hiking in the middle of nowhere and I insist on using map and compass, could barely read the map. Could have found myself in trouble. I'd definitely cut back and then cut it out if I quit in future.
Are you referring to energy drinks?
Good point on caffeine. Everyone at my job will fight and call out of there is no coffee
Same thing happened to me. I was so addicted that I had fight or flight mode running 24/7. My adrenaline was off the charts. It took a long time after quitting for it to normalize.
Theo is such a genuine person. Love him. 🙏
I appreciate that shes like "no, I LOVE smoking". That's my problem, I can forget about how much I enjoy that first smoke with a cup of coffee etc... If you ENJOY smoking, when you decide to quit for whatever reasons, you don't forget.
I'm a Hypnotherapist and have worked with a lot of clients who were ready to quit, but we always talk honestly about it. It's OK to admit that you love it, lol. You can still quit, and that honesty actually helps the process.
@@Kinesiology411I read that one of the things in Alcoholics Anonymous is no more lying about ANYTHING, and i guess the honesty helps people with their sobriety
The feeling of wanting to smoke/vape never goes away. Especially when drinking.
I agree it is incredibly difficult to give up
Maby it`s time to quit drinking also?. Trust me, it`s a game changer on all levels
@@Ikaros23 not so easy... drinking and vaping are brutal
@@jasonjason5325 A part of the reason many never quit is because they are brainwashed into thinking that the short term gratification of the addictions is makeing them relax. When in reality it`s just relaxing under the consumption. Then comes the hangover, anxiety, shame, fear and so on. That is the addiction is fooling us into thinking that we are " cool, sexy, relaxed" when in reality we are getting fat, stupid, stressed, anxiety, fear, poor, unfit.
Try reading " Allen Carr`s", " easy way to control alcohol" and " easy way to quit smokeing/vapeing". I think you will be surpriced that in fact it can be done. And that there is nothing wrong with you. This is how i did it.
@@jasonjason5325nobody said it’s easy, just a path in life to consider fighting for
My personal experience is that my "want" to quit drinking and smoking came from a place that I can't explain. It came as an epiphany and I just quit after 40yrs. It was uncomfortable for about a week and then it went away. It doesn't even cross my mind. Much better on the sober side of the fence. Congrats to both of you!!!
This crazy man is such an inspiration to keep doing what I do. Really awesome to watch him grow and develop his skills. Much respect
Man Von D lol
@@jfreitag88 you nailed it
@@jfreitag88😂
Love their warmth and chemistry
Thanks for bringing Kat on, I really wish her the best.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I had the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on Instagram?
"This guy's wife is missing" lol Theo Von ladies and gentlemen
I’m almost 11 months sober.. as a tattoo artist myself it’s awesome to see some role models of mine also taking about recovery
Congrats on the 11 months!! Hope you're still going strong and fighting the good fight
Theo can make anyone talk about anything, he creates a safe place for people!
Thanks for bringing such a beautiful human on the show. Kat seems so honest and humbled by life. Always big on seeing the human side of celebrities. You rock brother
For me, smoking was the easiest to quit. Alcohol next then dieting was by far the most difficult.
I've quit alcohol, drugs, nicotine, caffeine. Quitting bad food is next and it's tough. Bad food is everywhere.
@insomnyuk yes, on the bad food, sadly, it's also the most affordable.
hard to get good clean food, the fresh fruits and veggies in super market are poisons, loaded with chemicals and we eat that. That's why you hear of someone passing but was 100% healthy, no junk, no liquor no smoking or nothing, just a healthy life style and they die of cancer..
I quit weed and tobacco (smoke spliffs) very hard. Also very strict diet. Takes a lot of discipline.
Any tips for stopping alcohol
4:06 “This guy’s wife is missing” has me in stitches 💀
Theo’s comment about not having a family hit hard….I can relate on more than one level.
As did the doing “X” by myself because I don’t want to share. Great work Theo!
Theo makes sobriety look cool. enjoyed this clip thanks bro
Most beautiful thing I’ve seen is her husband the singer of Prayers crying on David Choe’s show explaining his crazy childhood relationship with his father growing up and now being a father and the entire time Kat held his hand and told him it’s ok. I wish everyone gets a partner like her
The honesty here is helpful. ❤️ and gives hope that your true self can move on and flourish but it requires effort
Great analogy, Theo. It became my God/higher power when it was uncomfortable, I was angry, hurt, and a moment let me hit this thing. I will take that shit with me... Another great podcast/interview! Thanks, Theo.
That is the definition of Sin. Basically anything that is taking you away from looking to God.
I'm 63 coming up.on 1 year of being smoke free after 45 years. Its still tough for me the urge is not constant but still strong. I miss my smokes
Good for you!
The fact that she stopped the day she found out she was pregnant is very admirable 🔥🔥
Women have strong fertility instincts bruh
Literally ask any woman who smoked if they quit when they were pregnant and I guarantee you at least 95% would say they did
@@spikejonzelover420 Some of them are lying though.
My family is predominantly Ojibwe American Indians. I promise you that that number isn't 95% unfortunately. @@spikejonzelover420
I guess my mom walked around smoking the whole time lol
She's such a great personality. Her artwork is fantastic.
except the artwork on herself... wth? she's covering herself entirely in black ink... that's insanity
@@TimApple. that's HER choice and HER body. I was talking about her drawings, sketches and illustrations.
My OPINION... MY voice 🤪
@@TimApple. You posted it as a reply to my comment and didn't say as much. Didn't ask for some random's opinion on my comment.
First day on RUclips?
I know the feeling of quitting, smoke for like 12years switch to vaping, then dipping. And finally kicked it years ago. The whole time i never thought i had an issue until i actually wanted to quit, and i realized how hard it was
I loved it. Vaping more then cigs weirdly. Switched to vape from well backwoods blunts with little weed. What made me quit is seeing my bullies quit smoking, my ex gf quit. I was still in shape so I had too or waste away.
@sadhu7191 In what sense, waste away?
@@steec6713 Money is better spent on other things, therefore it is wasteful to spend it on cigarettes.
"This guys wife is missing." 😅😂 That was fucking perfect, man lol.
This was a great conversation with you two, enjoyed listening to the whole interview
It’s amazing how being faithful truly causes you to be fulfilled and truly wanna give up pieces of the old you.
“Tumble dry setting” “12 gauge vape”😂
I used to be addicted. Now I’m addicted to having a clear mind and being able to think well. When I’m sober, I’m not holding myself back in life. Addictions are the worst self inflicted wound that will never heal if you don’t stop it. It will literally kill you.
During covid my occasional recreational drug habit quickly exploded into a full blown $500+ a week habit when i was informed they were gonna give me $900+ a week to not work and nothing was open so couldnt really do anything. It quickly turned into me just sitting at home by myself. Doing drugs and watching RUclips. For basically an entire year before i finally ended it. P.S. i was making around $550 a week working before covid lol
Imagine how many drug addictions were enabled by Covid relief 💰
Yeah it is crazy that what happened to you is exactly what they wanted to happen to most of the population. And it worked 😊 glad you are doing better now!
lol i worked the entire time during Covid and only made 1600 every 2 weeks. I could really careless that you chose to be a bum with your money. And be a leech off the government.
imagine how many people were forced into addictions because of covid lockdowns@@trappedinhumanform
As if someone wanted to ruin people's lives...
I've never seen her be so open & honest in an interview.
Theo has a certsin set of skills.
What Theo said about vaping hit me. It is/ was his God. Feel uncomfortable.... hit a vape. I think people do that with social media, pot, porn, alcohol, smoking..... you name it. A relationship with God is what we really need. Great chat!!!!
These 2 are so honest and truthful about it great video to watch for anybody looking to quit
Very much-needed discussion. Thank you. I quit smoking 10 days ago.
Keep going 👏
The worst part about quitting cigarettes is you can't have "just one more". Instead you have to buy a whole pack, and then feel obligated to smoke the rest. It's a vicious cycle!
Funny how Kat told him to be a man and not vape it immediately reminded me of a old podcast of Theo talking about ditch the vape, smoke a cigarette and be a man 😂 damn
I go extreme with everything I do, which is really a big fault... I started smoking at 19 (some sadness hit me) and I tried to quit so many times.. My first successful quit lasted 3.5 years (using a tablet) and I went back after an argument. I reached about 25 Cigs a day and I remember playing with my kids, hiding and smoking and I said that was it, I hated that it controlled me...I'm smoke-free for 4 years so far and I always keep reminding myself that it's very easy to fall back....
Kat has been, and after this will continue to be, my tattooed crush.
I loved the reality show. Wish it didn’t end.
🤮
“Packs Von D” no one has acknowledged that goated comment 😭😭😭😭
This is such a high school joke that I fucking love it. Took me back to the cafeteria 1994. Cause you know in high school she’d be “packs” forever
Someone did 3 months ago
Very real conversation.
Love how Theo explains it, I've quit now for months both but I was having these same thoughts as Theo so its good hear him explain it so you know your not alone you just get tired of being a slave to these 2 addictions, bad habits until you step up and say no and have some serious will power and tell the addictions to go to hell I'm not doing this anymore.
I used to be addicted to drugs.. I still am, but I was back then, too.
Werd

“Life becomes an inconvenience”
Damn that hits hard.
Quitting smokin and drinking and focusing on what's important honestly made life and it's experiences 10x better and if u would of told me this before i quit i would of laughed as hard as i could now i realize i was chasing temporary fun that went away by the time i was 22 and my life was so bland and depressing now im full of life and laughter and have the best group of people in my life its truly a blessing just takes some work we all got that fire in us just gotta go thru with it
Literally just broke free from cigarettes’ throat-charring grip. And all because of a week long cold, of all things. Your lungs sure do immediately thank you for quitting.
The change shows on her inside & out! U look more beautiful than ever KAT. Congrats to u! Light looks great on u
I stopped smoking last week. Around 15 cigs a day for 4 years. I tapered off by putting a little bit of tobacco in a pipe, and taking a hit whever I'd get super irritable. Eventually I was down to taking 2 hits of tobacco a day, no cigs, and I stopped completely last week. It feels awesome. Just remember all the side effects like brain fog, irritability, cravings, are basically your entire system healing itself. Think of it like soreness after a great workout.
good for you man, keep going brother.
Legendary guest One of the realest artist ever sitting in front of you. Theo, I hope you know that
"I like having an invisible friend" is the coolest way to say you're in touch with your higher power
3:17 Hot take; that's easily the most toxic take on vaping that I've ever encountered after spending years in the industry.
Like ... look i used to be one of the weirdos using the the hobby level vapes, but now I'm one of the 13 dudes still juuling and I'm fine with that, but lets just be honest, at least I'm not outright killing lung tissue with smokes, though disposable vapes feel like they're likely as bad as smoking lmfao
Cigarettes were the hardest for me too. Quit 3 years ago and I still think about them several times a day. 😂
Damn really? 😅
Same. I haven’t given in tho 🤭
This lighthearted conversation made my whole day 😊
Two of my favorite people ever. I didn’t think I could ever, possibly be more attracted to Kat. But, she just gets more and more attractive the older we get.
I hope you both continue to work through these struggles 🙏❤️ thank you for the honesty!
Theo's whisper "yeaaaaaaaaa" 😂
Damn Theo, you have blossomed into a great interviewer! I remember you from the O&A days. Love ya bro
holy fuck bros I know theo was fightin demons during this show
Ive always felt bad for alcoholics, I was a Heroin addict up until 9 years ago and I cant Imagin trying to quit heroin and seeing it at restaurants, stores, weddings just everywhere
“get a cigarette and be a man”🤣🤣🤣🤣
These are two very genuine souls!
"People that smoke so much they end up looking like when they take a hit" hahahahaha
I like how Theo keeps anonymity, calling it a 12 step program. Clearly has a good understanding of the traditions ❤️
THIS WENT SO HARD 😂😂😂 I feel like both of their views on nicotine are both so helpful for me to hear as a nicotine addict that wants to quit.
you probably still wont quit though lmaoo
Watch someone u hate quit cigs then u will

Thank You both so much for sharing, relatable and helpful. Love You hopefully we all keep coming back💜🔥☮️
I was chain smoking a pack a day for about a year, sometimes 2 packs. Smoked 4 in one sitting and knew I had to quit. Went cold turkey and always came back to it years later. Really struggled with it for a couple years. I took mushrooms once at a festival and I've never really had the urge since then. Apparently mushrooms are effective 80% of the time for quitting nicotine.
I quit using heroin, cocaine, alcohol, but nicotine has always felt impossible. I did go from 2 packs a day to vaping, but now I suck on the vape too much. At least I don’t have the chest pains, and coughing up phlegm.
