- In this brief AddictionMindset video Dr. Frank discusses one of the worst side effects of nicotine addiction that people who want to quit vaping or quit smoking cigarettes will experience. The worst side effect of vaping or quitting smoking cold turkey has little to do the physical nicotine withdrawals or psychological nicotine withdrawal symptoms. The worst side effect of vaping has everything to do with the subconscious. If you are ready to break free of your nicotine addiction to vaping once and for all without the use of nicotine replacement therapy or NRT Addiction Mindset recovery coaching is for you! Vaping disposable vapes and smoking cigarettes has much more to do with psychological than the physical impact of nicotine addiction.

Hi bro. I quit smoking weed 4 days ago. Weed was making my anxiety worse. I'm able to sleep but I have headaches, pain at the base of my skull, muscle tension at my sub occipital muscles, sweaty palms, sweating and anger 😢

Congrats brother, if you’re going to relapse don’t be too harsh on yourself and understand why you did that in the first place and how to avoid it next time

I quit vaping cold turkey 2 weeks ago and have gotten 3 panic attacks, crying randomly, vomited twice, and have gotten 3 nightmares. Vaping is a demon but im staying strong! I can’t give up.
it really is a modern day demon
You got this bro. It gets better! Going for long walks/runs is the most underrated tool for beating addictions
Jesus bro that’s actually crazy😭😭vaping had you in a chokehold my boy
I’m one month in 4 days, stay strong
@@kimrobinson9167 good shitttt, I’m on day 5 😂😭
Arguably, the practice of not following through with goals, is what leads people to addiction in the first place. I hear you out with your experience. However in mine, I was able to instill higher confidence of following through with my words of other goals, before quitting my addictions. And this confidence helped me follow through. Maybe people just need to gain the right amount of confidence back before they can commit.
This is very very valid actually I am
Goin got make a video highlighting this comment. Thank you
I began using electronic cigarettes during my high school years. Currently, at the age of 21, I have devoted six years of my life to this habit. For a while, I had seriously contemplated putting an end to this addiction, but the process proved to be particularly challenging. Thanks to your videos, I can now confidently say that I have managed to stay nicotine-free for five days. Although I am still grappling with the side effects of quitting abruptly, each passing day brings me a growing sense of well-being. I want to express my deep gratitude to you, and I sincerely hope that others will be encouraged to overcome this unnecessary dependency.
I’m very happy for you, keep going, and give me an update in a couple of weeks to let me know how you’re going on.
ive been clean from weed for a few months now after smoking 5-8 times a day for 5 years, I was still smoking nicotine vape but now I am a week and a half clean. I knew vaping would be easier to quit so I used it to stop weed. I havent replaced my addictions with anything, Ive just been walking. I did over 20 miles last week, I want to keep the ball rolling in this direction
Almost three weeks with no vape. My god I about had a nervous break down my first week but made it! A goooooood cry really helped!
A good cry is necessary at times. I would cry anytime someone was even sort of nice to me when I quit
How r u on day 12?
You’ll be thinking of it, but you’re almost two weeks by day 12 and you’ve broken the habit!
I absolutely love this candid conversation about "addiction" the treadmill effect of psychological sabotage is truly the worst "rabbit hole" of isolated despair. No matter the substance .... lying to oneself is the worst betrayal of all and is only amplified by projecting it out into the world..... self worth is diminished if not destroyed and the betrayal is complete. Recognizing this is the "key" .... It is empowering to know "You decide" .... thereby forestalling the cycle of evasion. Thank you so much❤
I quit vaping cold turkey on 29th August 2023. So now 9 days. I used to smoke cigarettes for 10 years, stopped that cold turkey 6 years ago and from that time on, I vaped 24/7. So it was about time, to get my full health, confidence and energy back 💪
@jdelaney4158 Thanks for asking man! yeah, I'm on day 19 now, and still no plans to go back 🤙 it gets waaaay easier after you pass the first 4-6 days because all the nicotine in your blood is gone then. After that, it's "only" the psychic, which will still try to get you back to the vape. One big advice to you: Just DONT buy a new vape today. Tell yourself every morning you wake up that you don't buy a vape today. Repeat it every day even when it gets super hard. You can do that, just don't stop trying!!
@jdelaney4158 Oh, im sorry for that. It's my standard reply 😄
Thank you so much for your words! I hope to motivate as many people as possible with that because I know how I was looking for comments like this by myself.
Today is day 24 and I actually had a mental craving the last 2 hours. I'm telling this to show, that it doesn't stop after like 24 days. BUT it feels way different and way easier to handle. Of course I didn't buy a vape and now that I ate, chilled a bit and calmed down, the cravings are gone. So just keep going. The cravings will reduce drastically, will get softer and you will start to get mantally more stable to handle them without having big problems. If I can stop vaping and quitting nicotine finally forever, everyone can do it as well 🙏
@jdelaney4158 Thanks! Keep going as well, every day without vaping is a good day 🙏 these videos definitely help a lot when it's getting serious again 😄
@@wiso71how‘s it going my guy?
@Kencio26 more than half a year fully nicotine/vape free. Never went back to vaping, smoking or anything related to nicotine. Traveling/living for over 4 months in Thailand now. Even when I go out in parties or chill at the beach and people vape, I don't care about it at all (or at least 99% of the time not). Never thought I could travek without that damn USB stick in my mouth 😂 if you just stopped a while ago: Never ever stop. This is the only way to succeed! Wish you best of luck 💪
Great video Dr. Frank, love the psychological aspect to your channel
thank you sm i really needed this today 😭😭 this week has been so hard for me cuz of the cravings but watching your vids helps a lot and as of today i’m 50 days nic free :))
As someone that quit weed vape 2 years ago, I still find value in your content. Because it’s intriguing to learn about the effects of drug/ porn addiction, when it’s so normalized in society.
It’s everywhere now. It seems people are being trained to constantly seek out dopamine spikes. Attention seeking, TikTok scrolling, booze, weed, porn, sex, food. This leads to people feeling miserable as their dopamine levels fall below baseline and they constantly chase a spike to get “back there”.
@@TC-zf1ji is it really stigmatized though? If someone's addicted to porn or vapes, are they shamed in some way by society? I think society is full of functioning addicts of one thing or another. We live in a very permissive society.
@@TC-zf1ji I had a few things to say in reply, but YT is well...bad and its auto-deleting comments, so all I can say is Hi! How is your day going? Have an absolutely splendid day!
I’ve had so many problems with porn addiction and tried quitting so many times but when it comes to wee and nicotine I never have any problems quitting
Mate you speak so much sense its crazy, I keep saying I'm going to stop smoking weed/cigarettes, I've smoked everyday for 21yrs now and resonate with so much of this! I need to keep the commitment to myself! It is so difficult though I feel I'm just stuck in a loop of hating that i smoke and then finding life easier smoking. So glad I've found you now, I've just downloaded your 7 step guide. As hard as it is to hear the truth its what I need! Thank you!
This was very inciteful for someone who has tried quitting several times, ive never looked at it like this before. Thank you for this perspective, it is very true.
I quit vaping cold turkey oct. 3rd @ 9:30am. Im writing this oct 5th @ 12:04am. First thing I noticed is that every time I vaped i used to feel like I was going to die from a heart failure or something similar, especially when I started exercising, but when I said NO MORE, I worked out and my heart felt kind of normal afterward. Yet, today- oct 4th- I couldn’t workout, I started crying in the middle of it so I ran to the sauna and idk why, I was just crying. Spend some good minutes there, I feel like it works to spend time in the sauna daily.
Very true, got started becuase I quit smoking weed, stopped vaping for 5 months and for some reason picked it up again. Once I realized I was back into it I tried to tell myself I was going to stop, one day I bought another one. I felt horrible doing it and before the day was over I threw it away and its been weeks since that day. The cravings come but I know its getting easier. Finishing the vape is the biggest mistake because you will get disappointed when it runs out, therefore making you buy another one. Stop and toss it out while you still have it. That helped me immensley.
This man preaching. Well articulated. I’m listening.
I quit vaping cold and the migraines were insane. I was rushed to the ER last week because I thought I was having an aneurysm. The pressure in my skull was unreal. Yes, it can be more than bad.
It’s actually depressing when you realize how much of a downgrade all drugs are on recreational use. Your mental health, physical, social , financial take a toll as dr. Frank said multiple times. And it’s been proven drug users are depressed weather they admit it or not, because drugs change you on biological level. Why continue something that does only harm and nothing good?
@@qdgndYeah I agree with you. I think when used responsibly weed and mushrooms (and potentially some others) can aid in certain mental health/pain management issues. Recreationally they’re not organ toxic so you could be doing much worse especially if only used once in a blue moon.
The come down side effect from drugs really piss me off. It's a major factor that personally keeps me away from them. I get irritable and just annoyed from Nic thc or alcohol so I just don't use them anymore and I feel more balanced.
„It’s proven all drug users are depressed, weather(⛅️) they admit it or not“ 😂😂 what an NPC, it hurts to be a part of the same species as you, no hate, it’s just depressing 😂
@@m4exii211 Are you serious? Everyone knows this, drug use alters your dopamine and serotonin, so yes you are moody/depressed. Especially when you stop using the drug. Maybe if you passed grade 10 science you would’ve known what brain chemicals/cells were.
When knowledge lacks within you, you result in insults says a lot about you as a person.
@@EOMMunaware so does social media and youtube 😂 thats a dumb argument, you can have balance within it.. you are just straight up demonizing every substance that COULD be harmful, and thats just Bs 😂 you also said it brings nothing good, which is totally one dimensional.. maybe start experiencing the world instead of listening to your mommy 😉
Yeah the " subconcious rot" really sucked. Combining that lower self esteem effect of addiction with the irritability of the come down effects of the nic and thc was awful.
I am so glad to be free from it. I don't know for how long but I feel grateful to be happier now.
Fact. I quit 11 months ago. This is why. Not for greater physical health, but for mental health! Freedom from the mental traps I was experiencing due to vaping. Too add, congratulations on 100k, your content speaks volumes !
Recommend any good snacks instead?
Rice crackers or wafers and chewing gum 🤩
Dr. Frank please make a video regarding the THC percentage skyrocketed nowadays making marijuana quitting and withdrawals very difficult for most people. No one is talking about the 30% THC buds and 99% THC crystals and they effect most smokers in 2023.
I got you
You are so right about everything. Thank you for making it make sense.
Thanks for your videos Dr. Frank! I quit in December ‘22 after watching your videos. The first 3 weeks were pure hell. But then the urges weaken significantly from there. Then I made it to 3 months and there were no more urges at all. I feel like a new man because I quit.
This is nothing but pure facts in this comment 😎
"Dr"
Fantastic Perspective and Video
"Subconscious Rot" is pretty much the summary of how I've been feeling lately. Something good in my life could be happening, but my mind/ego will find a way to make it seem like everything just sucks.
I switched to vaping from smoking, black and milds. I know black and mild are horrible. Lately, though, I've been noticing some differences with vaping. Negative differences. Knowing that I should just stop vaping, scares my inner self. The fact that it scares my self, I truly know that this is something that I'm going to have to do.
I'm sick of this. I'm sick of hating myself. I'm not that bad of a person, I know I'm not. But something constantly tells me that I am.
But I'm also scared of the pain that I know it's going to give me.
Wish me luck. 💜
Life is so much better without. I had one of the most addictive personalities. If I can quit anyone can. I got to the point where I said no more I’m done vaping threw it all out and haven’t touched it since. That was 6 years ago. I taught myself I’m in control and I can overcome anything. I came off my meds after that gave up sugar and caffeine. U can do anything u put ur mind to if u want it bad enough.
There is a different psychological effect that I thought you were going to discuss. It has to do with feeling satisfied. If I drink alcohol, I absolutely want to smoke a cigarette; however, if I do that turns a switch in my mind where I am no longer satisfied. I just want more, more of whatever. It has something to do with the cigarette, or the nicotine, that is not there if don't smoke. If I am drunk, I will really really crave a cigarette, but once that cigarette is over that feeling comes back so quickly. My brain just says "more." If I didn't smoke the desire kind of flattens out. It's very much like a mosquito bite. A dull itch that goes away if you don't scratch it, very hard to ignore but possible versus scratching an itch that you know will only activate more itchiness. That is why I do think nicotine activates a part of the brain that says, "I am not satisfied, I want more." More of anything I think.
Well, adults used to say weed is a gateway drug but it's really alcohol. Alcohol reduces your inhibitions. Nicotine doesn't last long in your body so it leads you to want more faster. Tobacco is genetically engineered to be almost impossible to quit.
Haven't vaped since June 15th. Feeling so much better.
Man I feel this one deep, been one of my biggest motivators to quitting (Only 4 days in but going strong-Thanks again to your videos)
I've been vaping for 3 years straight. just quit about a month or two ago. completely fine, which I thought was weird. every time I felt the urge to take a hit, it quickly turned into something else. instead of itching to hit a vape, I subconsciously tried to direct that itch into something healthy. every time I had an urge, I would eat an orange. so for the first 3 weeks or so I was itching to eat oranges lol
Lmfao W dumbass method honestly it’s all in your head I had a dumb method too I just told myself shit was easy to quit and I was able to quit the day after college didn’t give it much thought. I did start again a year later though because I wanted to.
Hey man! Have an orange 🍊😉
True the best way to quit a bad habit is to form a good habit
This makes perfect sense. I have been able to see that Smoking gets in the way. I’m accomplishing many things. And I procrastinate much more because I smoke. I will actually go outside and smoke a cigarette to plan out what I am going to do in the house as far as decluttering. But then I end up smoking and shopping online instead. Suddenly, the day is over, and all I’ve done is smoked and thought about the things I plan to do. I hate myself for it . I’ve got clutter all around me and I’m in a catch 22 of being too overwhelmed to do anything because there’s too much piled up . It’s excruciating. Thank you for pointing this out .
I appreciate your insight and thank you for pointing out my shortcomings and mental weakness.
Thanks for these videos, really helpful
This video is getting me to make the first step. I have been struggling with everything you have mentioned. Very interesting, going to give it a shot.
Great content 💯 Speaking facts!
Love this video I needed it now
thanks for your help doctor frank
January 12th. 4:32pm. Amazing channel. Thanks for helping me quite vaping. This mindset shift is exactly what I need to succeed.
Thank you for talking about the deeper layers on the psyche that this addiction creates. I’m sure a victim of it and super grateful to of left nicotine in my past
Tuesday, September 5th I quit vaping. My day to day life has increasingly been better without it. It hasn’t been an easy last few weeks since quitting completely but now looking back after vaping for 2 years consecutively (yikes). I can confidently say I will never go back down that dark path that seem so fun in hindsight.
I needed this video
Great video - i can totally relate to this
Great video, explains so much about what I’ve become
Great video!
i needed this rn.
Been listening to the book you recommended, "why Zebras don't get ulcers" and I gotta say, it's been incredibly informative. Thank you for that recommendation, it's helped a lot with better understand affects addiction has on the body.
I appreciate all that you do bro. Nicotine is the toughest one to quit
I agree but, you got this. Just gota see it through
Thank you. Thank you for your content. I wish the people in my life understood how much they need to quit
Youre so comforting, insightful and helpful Doc Frank, words cant describe how greatful I am you exist. I am nearly 2 weeks sober from cannabis, no withdrawals (apart from the odd craving occassionally), and 3 days restrained from my herbal vaporizer. I think covid+smoking at the same time triggered chronic bronchitis and everyday, you make me realise although my health has deteriorated and at age 26, I may have permenant lung damage, this is MY choice. Its my choice because I want to be healthier again, I want to swim and run with stamina. And its not too late for me, I can breathe fine and if I do have COPD, its very early stages and I CAN live a full life. These videos are getting me through, theyre my new coping mechanism and comfy blanket. Thankyou so so so much
P.s. withdrawal from cannabis at first was BRUTAL, serious anxiety, extremely irritable and VERY angry, but I got through it and so proud, I can do this, you've given me hope and I feel a lot healthier. Thankyou ❤
this. this is how you actually combat addiction verbally.
Its funny how i finally am getting out of that horrible mindset. Everything you said is really great advice that more people could use especially for nicotine. It really is a mindset you need for quitting anything.
I’ve gone 2 weeks without vaping nicotine and I want to say thank you for opening my eyes and realising that I’m damaging myself ❤️💯💯
this guys a beast at this ✨🌟💫
I have stuck to being carnivore and also I stopped drinking in the last month. I said I was going to quit smoking and I could not. I have not given up, I cut my cig use in half and listening to different ways to quit. I have been smoking 50 years. I also started exercising.
Carnivore has been shown to cure addictions
@@cj548 Thats what I am hoping.
Listen to jesse lee Peterson if you actually want to overcome your emotional hell 👍🏿
@@OffBrand2000 Will look Jesse up thank you.
Only smoke the worst flavor cigs you can find. Make sure they are old and stale. Reinforce the idea in your mind that the habit repulses you. It helped me quit cigs and vaping.
Gradually dose down the nic and the habit can drift away.
I had asthema for 16 years. After getting recovered I started smoking for 26 years and now I have shifted to vape. Its good bro. I feel great
It’s not a side affect of smoking, this is with anything. Even cleaning your room. If you constantly tell yourself that you’re going to do something then don’t, you immediately start to disestablishing the trust you have for yourself. This is basic physiology.
Spot on. Can't give 1000 likes, but I would. Thank you for what you're doing, please keep at it 🙏 Congratulations
Addiction is based in self self centred fear , the fear I make up in my own mind they doesn’t really exist. I’m in recovery as I have an addictive personality my problem was drugs , food , nicotine and everything.
The lack of action and procrastination are the things people need to do so they can get well and stop doing what they are doing .
Word
I haven't experienced this with nicotine but many many years of unmedicated and undiagnosed ADHD left me with a completely shattered faith in my own ability to function. Things are getting better now but it'll be a tough road
When you bout to quit, you get a day or 2 and then have a smoke as though ypu need it. It's never that good and you get a huge wave of disappointment.
Or you have a dream where you smoke then wake up and realise it was just a dream, you get a huge wave of relief
Wow awesome points. Working through this with weed. Tough to take the jump again
this is facts this was the main reason i hadda put down the vapes, that and the anxiety that nic gave me
I feel like I could quit but I just don't really want to right now
Day 6 of no vaping. I feel less of a need for nicotine day by day, each day I feel less addicted to it. I'm still really craving just one hit and I almost folded and bought a new vape but haven't yet. Maybe this time will be it! Wish me luck!!
Nicotine helps a lot of people with dopamine problems, schizophrenics and parkinson’s. I noticed in mental hospitals people calm down while smoking significantly.
I don't think this is true. I think what's happening is that smokers are relieving the withdrawal effects when they smoke. So yeah they look more relaxed when they smoke because the withdrawal was coming on and they got their fix therefore they feel better now.
However from my own experience I can say that I'm now much less anxious in general as a non smoker than I was when I smoked (smoked for 11 yrs). 5 yrs clean now. How did I get clean? I became an inmate for 4 1/2 yrs haha.
It only helps temporarily lmao it makes shit so much worse. Coming from someone who has been addicted to opiods, nicotine is the hardest thing to ever try to quit.
This is deep
I was able to quit vaping in June. I peaked at 24 mg then reduced it by a mg every couple of weeks until I got to zero. After a month on zero mg, I stopped. I picked a date, went on a trip to get out of my environment, and didn't pick it up again. I was able to do that mainly because I had quit habits before and had the right mindset to stop. I knew withdrawal was just psychological at that point and found the right distractions to focus on.
Honestly, just being in the mindset that I've quit habits before and saying I'm stopping on this date with a plan was all it took.
Do you think it helped you a lot to do 0mg for a month first?
@@fersan92 Yeah, it helped that in the sense when I finally put it down altogether, I knew it was just the habit at that point with nothing physically addictive in it. Then getting out of my headspace on the trip I went on. After the first day, it became easier.
I’m barely past the 56 hours of vaping a 0mg juice and I’m getting some uncontrollable rage episodes lol, I hope it gets a lot easier! Congrats on getting that far :)
@@fersan92 Aw man, I feel you on the anger. How many mg's were you on before going to 0? It does get easier once the physical symptoms die down and getting out of the habit.
THANK YOU!
I've known this for at least 2 years now about my nicotine and weed addiction. It doesn't help that I work at a place that sells both
I quit 4 years ago. It took me 6 months to a year to fully stop thinking about it and move on.
Thank you.
You are doing great job Doc.! Today is my second quit day of nicotine pouches... Ur videos are helping.. thank you!
thank you
I’m currently trying to quit weed and nicotine should I quit both cold turkey?
Society is a breading ground for addiction
Currently coming up on one month of being nicotine, caffeine and porn free. I wanted to thank you man, I spammed a lot of your videos for the first couple of weeks to keep me reminded on where I was at and what I was doing. Currently weening myself off of a prescription I’ve been on for years as well, at half the dose now. I really do believe for some people, like myself, to over addiction - you have to change your life completely. Thank you again.
Wanted to mention: I’m 27 years old. Have been drinking caffeine since I was 6 (coca-cola, coffee then energy drinks), watched porn since I was 11 and smoked cigarettes since I was 14. It is possible to quit and get better people you just have to believe in yourself.
What makes you say that?@@TC-zf1ji
Damn bro good shit keep it up man
Vaping seemed for me a 24/7 thing. I’d wake up all hours of the night to hit the Vuse. Started giving me headaches and my stomach felt horrible.
What's good man! It finally clicked in my head that I need to stick with a nofap routine... all of the other vices are luckily no longer an issue for me. What's left now is more money and I should be set. Tips?
Hey doctor Frank! I’m on day two of quitting weed thc carts medical ones my mother and me used this as a help instead of pills to help because I have PTSD. I’ve wanted to quit been taking hot showers and having issues with basic life I have a very addictive personality gambling porn weed are my 3 issues. It’s hard to tell myself to stop because my mother and me use it as a help! Any tips please I’m gonna pray this all gets better also! Ps she doesn’t wanna stop and told me I should she’s in denial from me and my step dad telling her to stop….. she’s watched ya videos shocked she won’t stop!
god bless ya man thank u so much also
My question is how do you quit when you're spouse won't, every time I try quitting ill last a few days but when her cigarettes are sitting right there its easy to give in.
Aug 4th is my vape free date! Im not gonna lie .... It was hard af .. 🧠 brain fog, low energy 🪫 but im turning the page 📃 its much better.
Oh man Nicolette gum was one of my favourite things, it got me all energized too
I get it but… ya know
I quit smoking in June ‘23 after smoking for 22 years. Replaced it with nicotine lozenges. 2 days ago, I tried a cigarette and I couldn’t stand it. It tasted like whenever I first started smoking. My thing is I can’t figure out how to stop the lozenges. I use it for the nicotine and for managing hunger.
Someone please tell me I'm not alone. I'm 3 months into quitting vaping/cigarettes. The brain fog and dizziness is a scary feeling. Does this ever go away? This came on strong at around 3 months...😢
Watching this while smoking the last vape I plan on buying
Bro been vaping for couples years and been off it for half a year but damn I still get cravings almost every week it’s wild how strong nicotine addiction is
What if it’s a zero nic vape ? I just started vaping to help destress when my anxiety gets really bad
6 days clean of nicotine today got the withdrawals over and done with within 3 days stomach is ruined lol but I’m getting there feel a million times better. Is it also true that nicotine is bad for digestive system as that is the main reason I have quit due to bad ibs?
Haven’t vaped since April, if any of you struggle jus push through it took me a long time to fully quit but once you do, it’s def worth it :)
its been 4 days since I have vaped and I am staying strong 💪🙌
Today is day 0, all my vices end today. Gonna come back here in a week 🙏🏻
??
I want to quit so bad, but I can’t do it alone, the withdrawals are way too severe! I get very sick, worst nausea and migraines I’ve ever had and I start pacing and get a panic attack and all those symptoms don’t go away until I vape again?! I would be able to quit vaping if I had someone by my side 24/7 for at least a week to hold me and go for walks and distract me while I was having those symptoms? 😢
So, 48 hours without nicotine now. I had to use the nicotine patches and gum for 3 days though, as i was doing the 25mg snus daily before. Tried quitting cold turkey a few weeks before, but i had way too much nicotine in the system- massive brain fog and i was lethargic af.
Now that i lowered the tolerance, i only have slight brain fog but overall feeling okay. Not much craving either surprisingly.
I used shrooms to quit weed cold turkey and now nicotine too (0.4g of shrooms for 3 days the whole weekend, in 0.1-2g doses)
It made the weed actually disgusting for me, i never ever had a pleasant trip after microdosing shrooms, now same with nicotine.
Except that when u can successfully quit the opposite happens, you feel like you can do anything! and thats absolutely why you should push on through!
So just don't quit vaping and you will be fine. Got it!
The best way to beat the 'devil' is to not let him know your next move, you've already failed if you yourself know. this is how i ended up off harder opioids, i never said i was going to quit i just took it a day at a time and when i failed it was a lot easier to not fall back hard on the addictions bc there were no overwhelming worries about relapse with this approach. some people need more pressure but i personally wasnt ever the type who was falling out off my shit so that approach didnt work for me.
this popped up at the eprfect time. I'm currently 1 month no alcohol, nicotine or caffeine. (and any other drugs). I've been fairly productive but this past couple days I've hit this inactivity sorta wall, and it's this moment where the addiction is popping back into my head. And generally just feeling kinda low and lethargic. I think it's these feelings and moments that drives me to consume substances, like the reality is I could consume any substance right now and I'd have that temporary relief. It's fix this feeling im feeling right now (so it says). And it's SO easy, I could have a coffee, then pop to the shop and have a vape and maybe a pint at the pub and there we go - I'm on a substance wave and then hey, the alcohol will make me buy other harder drugs because WHY NOT?!
It's a chain reaction, and that reaction lasts anywhere between a couple days to a few months. I know that if I go for it it might be another few months until I get to this point again. So I guess this feeling right now is what I have to take action through, power thorugh and take action on all the things I've promised myself.
