We also gotta praise Sean for being an amazing friend, $3,000 of his own money as motivation to help his friends succeed at a goal that’ll never affect him. W friend
Girl, I have never hit nicotine and I hope I never will, but I am so freaking proud of you! You literally vommited, cried, craved, and you had so much willpower that you made it to 125 days and beyond. You are amazing!
I swear nicotine has to be the hardest thing to quit!!!! Im a paraplegic and been through more shit in 22 yrs than ppl could even begin to imagine an i pulled through all of it. Litterally came very close to dieing from suicide, bacterial spinal meningitis, gangrene on a wound, had to get lower part of one leg amputated, having a child, anither suicide attempt, my husband saved me once, the other time my brothers wife's grandfather found me in my car one morning in the cemetery where my dad is barried, he died when i was 7, getting addicted to pain meds an much more shit, but nicotine has to be the fucking hardest an i cant even fucking do it. I just cant. I stopped smoking n started vaping years ago. I dont cough at all. I used to when i smoked cigarettes though. Man i wish i could quit. I'd be so lost lol. Ok let me start watching ur video. Im super duper proud of ur ass for quitting. Best thing u could do for urself. I can't even do it
So, you can partake in nicotine, you just don't want to repeatedly use nicotine. If you use it at a party, that's fine. What will get you addicted is if you use it for the hangover and beyond. I would advise never doing it at all, but if you do, it will not be a life ender in anyway, so don't worry so much about it.
I've smoked lots and lots of cigarettes, cigars, hookah's, etc at parties and I have absolutely no desire to consume nicotine. Don't get noceboed into a completely wrong picture of addiction.
I personally do not vape. but I can really appreciate a sincere documentary advocating for quitting that isn't some sort of TV campaign that just makes recovering addicts/addicts who desire to quit feel worse or just deter them from quitting altogether. this was a great look at how nicotine addiction is a reality. congrats on quitting and great doc.
It's truly fascinating how different people react to addiction. My story was this: "Man this shits expensive" *throws vape out car window* and that was it. No withdrawals, no challenge. For some reason my body just didn't react that way. Hoping this makes people less scared to quit, it could be easy or it could be hard. You won't know until you try.
mine too lol. when my disposable vape ran out of puffs i just threw it out and thought damn i could buy some clothes with that money then i never smoked/vaped again
For me it sucks, but I don’t feel any where close to what she experienced 😦 just massive amounts of irritation and a lack of comfort from the habit. I’ve been smoking cigarettes and vaping for 10+ years
@@johnyjohnjohnson1317 I would go through a breeze plus in about 2-4 days. Or a whole puff bar in a single day at my peak consumption. I was at that level for over 6 months, but had vapoed on and off for about 3 years prior.
You guys inspired me , I'm quitting weed after being an addicted daily abuser for years and my withdrawal symptoms are bad but no as bad as yours. You guys made me feel I can do it.
i quit after i watched this. last time i smoked was the day before my 18th birthday. it’s been well over a year and im still grateful for this video to show up on my youtube recommendations. thank you
it'a so gross and depressing how widespread nicotine usage has become, especially amongst young people. it's such a terrible habit. I quit smoking cigarettes for months and then relapsed and now I've been stuck in a loop for almost a year and trying to get up the nerve to quit again for good. also you seem super cool. proud of you for sticking with it.
It hasn’t just become widespread lol! Do u not realize how much it has gone DOWN? People used to smoke on airplanes and in restaurants ! Smoking is not socially acceptable nowadays but it used to be
you can do this!! there will never be a "right" time. you will always find an excuse to hide behind. you need to realize you are strong enough, and that you can stop RIGHT NOW. you don't need to build up courage-- you already have it. you can do this. you are not alone
@@sophritoh socially unacceptable (which is only because of the health issues) doesn't mean it has gone down. By comparison of earlier years, it's definitely not as common but it HAS gotten more widespread. It's to the point that fresh out of elementary children are hitting Jules and shit. We're talking 6th graders and up. My friend has reported mfing 12 year olds selling vapes, coke, and i know of nothing else. I don't believe that is nicotine's usage going down. But either way, this discussion isn't the point of the OP.
"I can't believe I was using something that made me throw up when I quit, that made me have mood swings, that had _that_ much control over my body. And I'm so happy I stuck it out because I feel like I am in control now of my life and my body." SO POWERFUL! So proud of you & thanks for taking us along this journey with you!!
my ex-boyfriend has been vaping for almost a decade and it always made me so incredibly sad to hear him cough, have chest pains and go through mood swings. i often cried at the sound of his coughs, knowing how much he was knowingly, but helplessly hurting himself. addiction is really difficult to overcome and anyone who chooses to go on this journey is amazing. it takes time and patience but it will always be worth it! you can do it!
so many people are complimenting the documentary itself but i want to compliment YOU. this was such a hard decision to make and i’m so impressed and proud of how resilient you were and all the times that you could’ve broken your streak and you didn’t. amazing!! so proud and good luck xx
No she's not. I quit cold turkey with 0 issues. Here is how you do it. Throw out your vape gun, coils, juices in the garbage. Done. No crying like a baby in the corner that is bs. This entire video is trash.
Severe health problems and/or death due to nicotine is one of those things that no one thinks will effect them until it does. Like you’re invincible… until you’re not. Props to you- I think this type of awareness coming from a young person will be so much more effective for our generation.
I relate to this not bc I vape (which I don’t) bc I broke my arm in November. And not like a small little fractcher in one of my bones, it was a full on break, my arm snapped right in half. And I never thought something like that would ever happen to me up until it did. Honestly it’s a really powerful message.
There is literally no evidence that vaping nicotine can lead to serious health problems, not a single person has died or been hospitalized from vaping regulated nicotine juice. All of those news scare stories that came out about people dying or being hospitalized form vaping were vaping black market THC cartridges, not nicotine. The media purposely made it look like it was nicotine. Do some research. The only people who got hospitalized from vaping nicotine were a few people who vaped some unregulated popcorn flavour that was bad for the lungs, but it was banned years ago and since then there hasn't been a single person who got negative health problems from vaping.
Can you share some info on health problems or death due to nicotine? Cigarettes certainly, tainted THC cartridges, yes, but problems from nicotine alone I believe is very similar to that of caffeine. Please remember there is a difference between tobacco, cigarettes, and nicotine.
@@karic.6491 There is no link to serious health problems from vaping just nicotine, no one has every been hospitalized from just vaping quality nicotine juice. The only hospitalizations related to vaping nicotine were from a unregulated popcorn flavoured e-juice but it's been banned now.
I am 15 years old and quit nicotine after almost a year, which isn’t much, but it kept me addicted. I was a premature baby by two months, so my lungs were already bad. I’m so proud of myself for quitting.
This is really incredible. Extremely well made it really feels like a segment you’d see on the news or something. And it’s cool that you’re so willing to put your personal life out there like this to bring attention to addiction. Great stuff.
I’ve been a smoker, pack a day for almost 20 years. As of right now I have been 26 days, 2 hours, and 38 minutes smoke free! It is hard, really hard, but finally starting to get a little easier! I honestly never thought I’d be able to quit smoking!
3 years ago, before we got married, my wife found out that I had been vaping at work. She didn’t give me an ultimatum, but rather she gave me a HAND WRITTEN list of all the things we couldn’t do if I died from cancer. When I saw that list I decided to stop. It’s been a long road of ups and downs, but I ultimately stopped. Going strong! Quitting vaping was so much harder than giving up alcohol and I’ve been sober for 3.5 years. To all those out there struggling with vaping addiction: I love you and wish you healing vibes. EDIT: I should’ve mentioned that I smoked for 7 years from ages 18-25. I am now 29. Vaping wasn’t helping me at all.
@@gauchodino6633 Yeah, I really get cravings at work. When I got stressed all the time, I would just drag at my desk. I felt hazy without it, but I decided to start drinking tea and eating more peppermints. Basically just traded one oral fixation for another.
I remember having some minor surgery years ago and at that point I had never done any kind of drug at all. I didn't even drink small amounts of coffee or alcohol. They hit me with an intravenous dose of Demerol and I felt worst so after my mushroom hit I found a better part of myself.
It's so weird how this popped up on my home page when I recently quit, will be 12 days tomorrow! I'm dealing with all the mood swings and emotions you were having, it made me cry watching honestly. I have also been eating a lot which I have been struggling with because I did have an eating disorder in high school and this is the most I have ever eaten. I get so upset with myself afterwards. This video really helped me feel a bit stronger
I‘m so proud of you! But remember that even when you‘re gaining a lot of weight rn, it‘s just a coping mechanism for your body because you‘re not vaping. In a couple months you won‘t be craving food as much anymore and therefore you can loose the weight, sport is always good :) and even rn, you could do sport to avoid gaining even more weight, it‘s actually so much fun!
I’m so proud of you!! You’re doing amazing & it will get better!! 7 days left of the hardest withdrawal symptoms. While that statement is based on the documentary experience, it’ll probably be similar for you because when I’ve withdrawn from addictions when I get around 20 days it does get better!! You’ve got this!!
People think vaping is nothing and it’s just for fun, and that “everyone does it”, no matter how many people do it the side affects are still the same. So many people I know vape and they joke about their addiction but it takes something like this video to show them just how serious their addiction is. Thank you xx
Vaping is actually more addictive than smoking cigarettes. Depending on the brand it could be 2-3x more addictive cause they can manipulate nicotine percentages.
People kinda joke about the nicotine addiction thing because they don’t believe they’re actually addicted like that because they haven’t tried to go days without stopping. They don’t ever feel the withdrawals which is why they joke about it.
@@thatcrazychick3108 I used to have ppl in my college ask me to hit my vape, 18 year olds while I am 7 years older than them, and I gave it to them while saying “you are becoming addicted to nicotine, I hope you know that” and also told them that I started vaping to stop smoking cigarettes which is 100 times worse, and that they are becoming attached to something very addictive without any previous addiction to cigarettes which was the primary reason ecigs were invented, I was always willing to give them my vape but I never stopped telling them what they were doing with their lungs and brains every time they did until they stopped asking me because they finally understood, that me coming everyday to college hitting a vape was because I was addicted to it, not because it was fun for me anymore as it was for them that they were “starting”
@@TheHealthConscounist truthfully, I believe they knew what they were doing the whole time. They’ve seen the commercials, they hear it in school, they’ve even seen the warning labels on the boxes. To me it sounds like the hit was no longer worth the lecture every time and that’s why they stopped asking you but it would be really nice if they stop asking you because they stopped doing it altogether.
It's actually really crazy to see how addiction can kill you slowly like this!!, ya'll are so brave and strong if you're dealing with this, keep going u got this ❤
“You have to say no every day” hit me like a ton of bricks. I quit 6 years ago and I have to remember even now that I can never go back. I remember quitting for the 20th or so time and going through those first 2 weeks of withdrawal and saying “this has to be it. I can never go back because I will never make it through these first two weeks again”. I quit alcohol that year too and developed emotional/binge eating when I didn’t address the underlying issue of why I was only able to comfort myself with substances. Four years later I was able to get my eating under control too. A lot of that time I didn’t even realize I had a problem with it. For me it just took time to start rooting compulsion out of my life, and sometimes the removal of one compulsion made me lean into others, but that helped bring light to those areas and helped me address the root cause of WHY I was needing to cling to these things. I am an addict because I never learned how to comfort myself when dealing with unpleasant emotions. My parents never taught me because no one ever taught them. I could not soothe myself. I could not encourage myself. And it’s not that I tried to and couldn’t. I just never realized that I could. I didn’t know that was an option. Everything to reassure me had to come from outside sources. This resulted in addiction and codependency. I am still figuring out that last one. To anyone reading this that is still suffering in addiction: You are the only one that truly knows the depth and impact of your pain. You know what you’ve been through and survived. There is nothing to prove. nothing to explain. You already know the depth of it all. Be with yourself about that!! Notice yourself and all that you’ve been through. Acknowledge your strength (it’s ok to start small!). Build a conversation and exist WITH yourself to help work through and validate your pain, and maybe one day your happiness too. Build that inner relationship with yourself. One that you’ve likely been cut off from for a long time. Help give yourself what you have so desperately needed from others. Show love to yourself in all of the way that others have left you hanging. But ultimately, just keep going!!! I hope one day you can see how strong you are for making it this far. I hope one day you will feel safe with yourself. To be your protector and to the feel the safety of your protection. I hope one day you can recognize the light in yourself that you so easily recognize in others.
i’ve never vaped or been addicted in my life but i decided to watch this anyway and im so glad i did. i don’t even know you but i’m so proud of you girl and i hope your life turns out to be everything you’ve always wanted.
I literally decided to quit nicotine just two weeks ago and it has been so challenging. The support of your friends and family is so cruicial. Hopefully I'll be able to follow through this for a year. xx
Look into Allen Carr's Easyway system. Quitting addictions can be so easy and simple. Speaking from experience after years of trying and failing to quit.
And don't forget, you got 557 people supporting you right here!! From what I've seen, the hardest part is the beginning, and you are so strong for following through. Keep fighting
This is criminally underrated. It’s a great resource for all who are struggling to see that yes, it’s possible. I wish you and all others dealing with addiction the best.
The issue with this is that she went cold turkey, if you spend a few months weaning down to a cigarette a day, you can quit, I've been smoking for 7 years, and I only smoke twice a day, sometimes I can go days without it
TW: SH As someone who has experienced addiction with self harm it was very cool to see how you handled your addiction. There's obviously some differences, one of the main things for me was how almost anything could be turned into something that could hurt me and that was what made it so hard to quit for me. As of today I have been 206 days since I last self harmed and I feel almost everything you feel: more myself, happier, healthier, more focused, etc. So yes it is absolutely worth it to quit whatever you're struggling with!! Love you McCall
Mary, thank you for sharing your story. Words cannot express how proud I am of you and how inspirational your story is. You are such a light, keep going
Its been over a year for my since I self harmed but I totally relate to this. The thoughts are still there. I still want to hurt myself. Those addiction thoughts are hard to break.
Quitting cigarettes was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, people don’t understand how hard overcoming addiction really is, congratulations girl x
@@annaa_louiise Nicotine was hard for me too but I've never been able to give up on biting nails. I had a year in at least with nicotine that I stopped. Trying again now. Not doing so well. lol
I’m so so proud of you! It’s truly incredible to see people leave addictions, just to see that you actually cared about your life enough to go through all that is amazing! You are so beautiful! God does outrageous things in people’s life and it’s truly a blessing! God is good all the time! You are enough sis!💞💞
This makes me so glad that i never got addicted to nicotine in high school, even when literally everyone else around me was doing it. Huge props to you for taking charge of your own life and bettering yourself! You’re an inspiration.
@@carnistpolice hoold on, what? You literally can't get nicotine through the skin from the vape or cigarette smoke 😂 however the smoke will in fact, damage your lungs just as much as the smokers' around you soo yeah...
to anyone that’s thinking of quitting. IT IS NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS. don’t let this video stop you. keep yourself busy and chew lots of gum and you’ll be alright!!!
Another important thing to know is that it only gets worse and harder to quit the longer you do it, I been vaping for almost 10 years now, if you've only been vaping a couple years it will not be that hard to quit, time goes by quickly, don't end up like me... lmao
I quit cigares a month ago. Nowhere near as hard to quit as cigs (done that before) but yeah after a couple weeks you're pretty much in the clear if you ignore the little random cravings and you forget you even smoked most of the time.
Im a vaper and it's not really that hard to quit at least i think... I had bought one Liquid 10ml bootle to be clear.. when i vaped the whole bottle i didn't had a urge to go directly to a shop to buy a new one actually I didn't bought any for weeks.. buuut as i said im still a vaper and i dont plan to quit ofc until something happen to me you know.. i actually like some flavours like like from elfbar theres a Liquid called elfiq kiwi passion fruit and guava and omg that taste is damn goood
It depends in how long and how severe you use it. For me I have vaped then smoked cigarettes and it was back and forth. But I noticed everytime I would quit cigarettes and begin vaping I vaped a lot more. I use it as a crutch. When I'm happy,sad,angry,hungry,thirsty, and bored. I ended up using nicotine when I got put in foster care because it was the only thing I could go to for comfort. I look forward to it because it was a stability in my life that brought me 'joy'. Usually when I attempt to quit (which I have tried many times) I end up getting severely depressed and that is what makes me cave in. The cycle then repeats where I feel bad that I'm using nicotine again (hence why I went on this video). So for a majority of people, maybe it isn't that hard but for others it can be extremely difficult especially for someone who was a user of other substances. So we can't just discredit. I'm not calling her a liar or saying that she is telling the truth about her experience. I'm just going based on my experience of nicotine. I have also been on all of the nicotine replacement therapy and the two medications (which I had bad side effects from and allergic to the patch)
this is edited so well, im excited for this to gain traction so many people need to see this especially young teens and people who are reaching a part in their life where it becomes okay and acceptable to have a nicotine addiction, where it becomes the default. You did great I can't even imagine how hard it was for you to go through it, record it, and then revisit and edit footage from when you were in the worst of your symptoms. Amazing amazing work!
the first time i quit i eneded up in the er my anxiety was so bad. I picked it up again and quit again and im 56 days into it and my anxiety is horrible . im glad op got threough it with no problems but im suffering lmao.@@BrandynAF
Im on day 22 of no nicotine. Probably the worst thing for me was the brain fog. I constantly feel like im not fully awake. All the other symptoms are nothing for me.
Was addicted to heroin and drinking of alcohol for over 7 years. Also suffered severe depression. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin. After trying out a psilocybin mushrooms treatment, I will be 3 years clean. Psilocybin mushrooms actually saved me from depression and addiction. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out it's been the best remedy I've ever had. Psilocybin being illegal is actually a crime against humanity!
was addicted to what i called a trifecta Meth, Opium, Alcohol. I also suffered severe depression i went to a party and consumed about 2 eights of shrooms i was lost in my head for 2 days but when i came back my depression and addiction to my trifecta was gone. I didn't realize it at the time. The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have good permanent results
When i stopped smokin cigarttes and i smoked for like 5years vapes cigarttes snus and everrything that was nicotine, and its possible to stop With God, and when i stopped sure IT was hard after 2 Week i smoked again and Failed but somrone Said to me that give Ur all like do ur best and God Will do The rest, and i really did all for 2 weeks maybe More multiple Times and then i Failed started smoking cigarttes a little again , and then i waked up and My addiction was gone and stayed like that Pretty Similar thing happened with Weed i Said God if u Are real take My addiction away , and next Day addiction was gone , and has Been like that And God IS actually real The history of Jesus there being like 25000 ancient manuscripts of Jesus Life death and resurscttion that matchs with 99% accuraty proves that
I vaped everyday for about 3 years straight. One day I just decided to stop, I saw the effects it had on my physical and mental health and I didn’t like it. I didn’t have any withdraw symptoms besides cravings. I wish anyone trying to quit the best of luck and don’t over think it, you can do it!
Yeah I was vaping for 5 years and just last week decided to quit. Full stop, I feel perfectly fine. I don't even crave it really. The only thing I want is to satisfy my hand-to-mouth habit. it's only a week in too and I'm sure others may find it much much harder. but it's not always as hard as what's shown in this video.
@@tartaras101 you can try holding a snack shaped like a stick to replace the vape. In Japan there’s this thing called cocoa cigarettes that’s just candy shaped like a cigar
I've never vaped, and I plan on not vaping. It's really hard to not try when all my friends around me do, but watching videos and hearing stories like yours motivates me to believe in myself. I may never have experienced addiction on this level or in this way, but addiction comes in many forms and I'm currently battling something myself. This is a great video, and you're helping so many people all around the world. Thank you
I had the same problem almost year ago and I recommend to you to look at them and notice, if they are happy during vaping or they do this automatically without taking pleasure. Also if you have voices in your mind like "It helps in social situations" then look at non-smokers and non-vapers, generally non-nicotine addicted people, are they more stressed than vapers? Do they need something to socialaze? Non-smokers are more relaxed than smokers, non-smokers better control their emotions, so why people smoke? I recommend read "Allen Carr - Easyway to quit smoking" and you will quit as I did and millions of happy non-smokers
Please do not ever do it, its so sad seeing what my friends “nicotine addictions” have turned into. they hit it 24/7 they cant be without it or else they go crazy, always beg to buy them off eachother, and they have even switched to even more hard core drugs. dont ever vape/smoke its not worth it at all. your friends are going to regret saying youre a loser or whatever for not hitting it when they are in the hospital years later with lung damage. please dont vape
@@jstevinik3261 dont get why you so pressed just telling ppl to not smoke. my grandma heavily smoked her whole life and is now dying with dementia blind and w lung cancer she cant even remember me and can barely breathe
as someone who also started vaping as a freshman and is now 19, but still addicted…i am bawling. i hope and pray so badly i can find the strength you found to quit. i want to so bad but am so scared of what the with drawls will do to me. this video helped me realize so much 🤍thank you
a lot of people are scared of the withdrawals but they are not always as bad as shown in this video. there is some level of physical dependence but that mostly is gone by day 3. from there, it is a total mental game. I quit over a year ago after vaping for 5+ years by reading this book "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by alan carr. look it up and try it, it is literally world famous for helping people quit nicotine. the book tells you to continue vaping/smoking while you read, so theres no pressure in buying it. I HIGHLY recommend if you really want to quit.
In my experience , I slowly decrease the amount of nicotine in my vape solution until I was at the lowest I could go (3mg? I can't remember). I hung that coat rail for like 6 months before I eventually was ready to stop. Since I was on a lower dose I felt like the withdrawal wasn't as severe. I maybe experienced 3 days of discomfort and moodiness, after that it got easier day by day. I still want to smoke occasionally but it's always a fleeting thought. You will have to find alternative ways of managing your stress levels if you do let go of nicotine, that's probably the biggest piece of advise I can give. Good luck to you.
The withdrawals arent that Bad with nicotine. Maybe Just a slumped energyless feeling in the First 3 days. After That its Just a craving youll get here and there
as someone who's never had a nicotine addiction, this video has helped me understand what a lot of people go through/have gone through and I'm grateful to know how to support whoever is in need. the editing was very well made and to everyone out there who wants to change I wish you good luck and you all got this. One day at a time :)
As someone that is going through this at this very moment and feel like I’ll go crazy if I don’t feel that nicotine buzz this video gives me a lot of inspiration. I want to regain control of my life and I have isolated myself from all the triggers. But as an addict everyday is hard and has its unique challenges. Thank you for making this!
Even though it is really hard, you are super amazing for even taking the first step to stop. Even though i do not know you, i am very proud of you, and i believe that you can do it!!
i used to hit my vape like every single day, first thing in the morning, last thing at night. I didn’t realize i was addicted bc it didn’t feel like what people said an addiction was. i experienced everything alone because i had never told my parents i was still vaping. it was hard, but i haven’t hit nic in like 8 months and i feel a lot better now
That’s interesting. I’ve tried nic with my friends and have even bought some of my own. I vaped all day for about 3 weeks everyday until all the vapes I bought were done and didn’t really see a need in continuing so I just never went and bought anymore. I never experienced any of the withdrawals that she was mentioning. In fact I felt completely fine. I’m curious to know how it was for you. Did you feel any of the things she mentioned?
@@spectacle1003 If you only use something for less than a month, it doesn’t give your brain enough time to attach itself to it and ultimately become addicted. Therefore, you were not addicted. Addictions happen over months and years.
Sean saved a couple of lives and so did you. As a Mom, I’m willing to bet whatever amount of disappointment your parents may have felt that you lied and hadn’t actually quit, is minute compared to the pride they’re probably feeling after watching this. My teenage son sent me this video so although we don’t know you or the rest of your story, your message is reaching exactly who it needs to. If you aren’t already heading in that direction, making movies/documentaries should be in your future! Congratulations and good luck on a very bright future ahead!
thank u for making this - as of right now I’m only 6 days clean … after over 5 years of a pretty steady nic addiction it’s been HARD! the headaches, feel like i can’t concentrate, etc … i stumbled across your video on tik tok & it’s really given me the motivation to keep working through this one day at a time :) hearing your story and knowing it will get easier and will be worth it is amazing so again THANK YOU!
Okay but this was actually the one video I needed to see, you saying “ this is hard” sticks with me because it is hard, it’s extremely hard, but not impossible. Proud of you
i am not addicted to vaping but the respect i have for you is insane. You went through hell to get off your addiction. Even though your friends continued vaping, you didn't! you are so strong! Congrats on losing your addiction! you are an example for many people😇
GIRLY!!! This whole documentary was AMAZING. You made this look like it was done by a professional video crew! Thank you for sharing your story. you're an inspiration
I am so proud of you. I sent this to my mom. Both of my parents have been addicted to smoking/vaping for as long as I can remember and I am so scared that I won’t have them as long as I could. I’m hoping this motivates them because I know that they can do this. It may be a struggle, but I believe in them just like you belive in yourself. Thank you
@@ksprivate196 im just worried. my dad is my best friend and he knows his health is declining, they dont realise the effect it not only has on them, but also their kids
Both of my parents smoke and same about my grandfathers. Mum's dad died because of lung cancer many years ago and now the other grandfather is dying because of it too lol
while ive never struggled with nicotine addiction, i've gone through recovery for an eating disorder and find many parallels to your story. i'm so proud of you for sticking with it. i would have recommended professional support as well, but props to you for your resilience on your own. and thank you for documenting your journey. you'll help thousands with this:)
I just stopped vaping today. I’ve been watching videos to help me with the withdrawals and to keep me motivated. Thank you so much for this video! It is definitely keeping me motivated. Wish me luck!
I’m with you girl!! I’m on day 3 right now and it’s been really hard.. but it helps me a lot to keep a journal where I update it daily on how I’m feeling & what I did each day. I feel like it’s easier to stick to something if you already feel invested in it.
have you started back doing it or are you still clean? if you’re still clean i know it’s very easy to lose motivation but think of the good benefits you’ll have in the future
Almost up to 72 hours of no nicotine, after being extremely addicted for a year, I am very proud of my mental strength. This documentary definitely helped me realise how I’m not alone in this battle. Thankyou :)
Congrats on your progress so far! Did you know, eight hours after quitting your lungs have already started to heal? Well done! Hang in there. It's gonna be tough. You'll face triggers like habits of when or where you'd most likely take a hit. Have a bag of barley sugars or something similar in your pocket for those moments so you can suck on that for distraction and get a little energy boost at the same time. Your hands need something to do as well. Maybe a stress ball or fidget spinner for a while. I speak from experience: I replaced smoking ciggies with vaping but used a mod rather than disposables so that I could slowly lower the nic concentration. I still vape, but only pure VG, no nic at all. I had my last ciggie 5 years ago now. You can do it too! Cheering you on!
Can completely relate. At age 19 I was doing coke, none of my friends or family knew about it and so I had to go through it all alone for the first few months. Until I tried to take my life. Its coming up to 1 year today and I am still struggling on a daily basis with my mental health but I am so glad I quit.
3 months free of alcohol and on day 6 of no nicotine and weed! Personally, quitting the nicotine has been the hardest and I’ve showed the most symptoms with, probably because I used that the longest (4-5 years) but trust me, I NEVER thought I could even attempt to quit and here we are😅 stay strong yall!
I quit January 2nd of 2022 and I still miss vaping. This is NOT to discourage any one from quitting, but it is to show the hold it can have on you. We don’t stop vaping bc we didn’t like it. We stop vaping because we know the cost if we keep doing it. If anyone is in the quitting process, I’m very proud of you, and the cravings WILL SUBSIDE. (I used nicotine patches to help the withdrawals. Regular gum, candy, and food for the oral fixation, and I hyper fixated on games like Pokémon. This is what helped me, but what works for one person might not work for everyone) I encourage hobbies and things to keep you busy. When you are busy you think about it less!! Best of luck💕
I just hit one year vape free, most people think vaping hurts you but if you buy real vapes from trustworthy sources you should be fine. The evali outbreak came from counterfit weed carts but some people have been hurt from counterfit vapes too. My point is that most likely vaping will be fine for you, but why take the chance?
these symptoms are prevalant even with sober minds in todays society and the rate we have learned good and bad at everything.. too fast. any medication is for the same
This was literally a movie! The way it was shot was amazing and I’m glad people are seeing the bad parts of nicotine and how if you have enough drive you can get through it! This wasn’t only about a girl kicking nicotine it was about changing your life for the better.
this really changed my perspective on addiction, me personally i am not addicted to anything but my family members and close friends are now i know its up to them if they quit or not and i know the reality of it all i love this video oml and im so proud of you and how far youve come!
want to share my story as well: i was a nic addict since i was 13 and i couldnt imagine my life without cigs or vapes anymore, it felt like a part of me, not having something to smoke in my hand felt like something is not right and immediately made me anxious, even if it was few seconds. if i lost my vapes or cigs i got FURIOUS and was screaming at anyone who even tried to talk to me… i didnt think of it as a problem at first, untill it started borrowing money from my friends to buy nic cuz i spent ALL of my pocket money. at that point i knew it already got too concerning and i needed to do something, so i decided to quit: it was hard decision, cuz all my friends would vape/smoke near me and i was sure i wouldnt even last an hour without a nic, well i was underrating myself! i threw out both of my juuls, three other vapes, all my vape juices, 3 full packs of cigs, and basically EVERYTHING that had nicotine in my house, even if it was unopened, brand new, EVERYTHING! was thrown away. and i think that was the best decision ive ever made. it was hard at first, hell yeah it was, i was even having dreams where i smoke when i was asleep, which made me wake up terrified that i relapsed, only to realize later that it was a dream😭 But i never gave up, no matter how hard for me it was :) now im 17, 18 in august, i graduated, got into college and proudly stating that im 7 months clean! and never been happier :) i dont crave nic at all, i dont want to smoke even tho all my friends still do, sometimes i even forget that ive ever smoked! saying “sorry i dont smoke” when someone gives me their vape to try is so natural for me… im extremely proud of myself:) and you can do it as well. everyone can do it, sometimes you just need to push a bit harder
I’m so proud of you. It takes a lot of guts to quit these kind of things so this just proves to us even more how strong you are. Everyone is going through this journey that will be tough along the way with you. Btw sorry for the late comment I watched this when it came out, I just never commented and then it popped up for me again, so I thought I might as well.
Omg I am so proud of you. It’s really hard watching my friends fall down this path. I’ve never vaped because I’m terrified of this happening, I can’t imagine what you are going and went through. I can’t wait to keep up with your journey. Thank you for sharing this :)))
@@syntheticfun definitely was dramatized for the views. I quit nicotine when I was on a pack of cigs and half a Vuse pod a day, it felt bad the first few days but it was nowhere as bad as this girl made it out to be. When I quit Xanax on 20mg a day I didn't even act like this. She makes it seem kind of discouraging for anyone else looking to quit.
You're doing so great and it's insane what you've done. I hope you're proud of yourself. This video is so well made as well! You have inspired me to quit, starting now
Mirabella, I just discovered your channel and I admire the resilience it took for you to actually go through with this (and I'm glad to see you made it to 1 year.) You are an inspiration.
I’m a recovering heroin addict and I carried on smoking cigarettes for two years after I got clean, I found it so hard to quit. They’re two completely different addictions but both equally as hard to stop in a lot of ways
I'm so proud of you for even taking the challenge as well as documenting it for others to see. I wish people were more understanding of addictions rather than judgemental of it. You're so strong for going through withdrawals and everything, but the end is so much more worth it. ❤️
Somehow this was the most accurate video on nicotine withdrawal I’ve ever seen. If anyone thinks it was dramatic, it’s because quitting nicotine is a dramatic thing to go through. This was really helpful.
Congratulations! I have been a two pack a day smoker for 51 years. I know I will die from it and probably soon. I hope your video helps others to quit and maybe stop some from even starting. No hope for me but I am truly happy for you. I hope you have a long, healthy life full of fun, laughter and much love.
I’m 3 months free. Thank Jesus.. the first 2 weeks I thought I was going to die. But after wards the anxiety gets better. It’s so worth it. But EVERYDAY, it’s a battle. Seeing it and being around it constantly, and being able to say no feels so good.
I'm at day 11 and it is hard af 😪 I was feeling really motivated the first couple of days but the last few days I'm starting to think of giving up. Currently I haven't just yet only because everyone says that the first 2 weeks are the worst so I really wanna make it at least that far and then see if I can keep going. My life issues are also not helping here and I've started substituting nicotine with alcohol and that's even worse so if I don't stop drinking I'll have to start smoking again cause that's just the lesser evil. Wow this is really long xD okay bye Edit: just some spelling mistakes Update: if anyone is interested in knowing how far I made it, I gave up on day 17 unfortunately... might try again in a while
@@sherryqueen2545 girly lemme just start off by saying if your still doing good and staying strong I’m proud of you! I’m 140+ days now. No nic, w33d, alcohol or anything, I promise after the first 2 weeks it does get easier and you do got this: although I won’t say the thought of just quitting goes away bc it doesn’t. You just have to be stronger than that, and those thoughts, if you can make it 3 days you can make it 3 weeks and if 3 weeks than 3 months. You got this❤️🤞🏼
Bro i am 9 days now without smoking. I am having some panic attacks , depression , loss of appetite and mind numbness. How many days will these last?? When i will start seeing some improvement? And scond question is doctor has provided me some anti depressants like bupropion . Should i take them??
@@jadepeyton1284 wow I'm impressed by you, I'm also a weed smoker and although I can go long periods without it I feel like it's probably really hard to give up when you're really hooked
Im so freaking proud of you. I don’t deal with addiction but my older brother does. this was an incredible documentary. Thank you for sharing your story!
@@liveinshyam nope, she probably meant that a breakup can make you experience withdrawal. Which is true. Breakups can make you experience withdrawal symptoms, not only psychological but even physical.
Look into Allen Carr's Easyway system. Quitting addictions can be so easy and simple. Speaking from experience after years of trying and failing to quit.
I started at 14. I'm currently 22 and still trying to kick the nic habit. Mad props to anyone who's had the strength to fully quit and never go back. I've quit 7 times and relapsed each time. I try but the withdrawal and mood swings are too intense for me to handle. To any teens who still think vaping is please reconsider. It's not cool and not a game and I pay the price daily for it.
7 months off of it, still going, there’s still temptation, but I’m hell bent on never going back. The first month was an absolute nightmare, then it got easier
@@allhailexoticanimals8866 I started at 13 and I’m almost 16. I need help bro. Going through this alone and watching all my friends get addicted to nic more and lots of other shi is so hard cuz I can’t stop thinking bout it. I can’t even eat anymore without feeling nauseous
I hope it isn't weird for you to have a complete stranger say they're proud of you, but I have to say that I felt really proud of you watching this video. Thank you for documenting this and putting yourself out there like that.
This was super well made- totally agree with others who said it should be shown in schools. It’s super inspiring for those who want to quit and to keep people from starting in the first place. Good on you for doing it and best of luck sticking with it!
I deadass was looking for a video like this probably 2 weeks ago and got all ads and old ppl I couldn’t relate to… TOTALLY AGREE this video was so so good so relatable I hope ppl find this video and not the ones I found LOL
This is so sad as well as inspiring. I’ve personally never been addicted, but from what I’ve heard, it’s really hard to deal with. At the point of addiction, your body is so used to doing whatever it is that it’s just so hard to break the habit. I’m so proud of you for getting through it. I’m so glad you did this. I can’t even imagine what you went through. You have my support. Again, so proud!!!💞💞
thank you a lot im a teen that has been trying to quit for so so long i thought i was alone because everyone i know was smoking around me even my family i havent been able to understand all the things that has been happening to me seeing you quit and see how much passion you have for putting in to it helps me a lot in ways i dont understand of know how to put it out in worlds
I’ve never done nic or any drugs or ever dealt with addiction. Im so proud of you. I know this isn’t the same but I’ve lost around 50lbs and it’s not easy to do it takes a strong dedicated mindset to do. i did it for the better and to help myself. as tho i don’t smoke or vape a lot of my friends do. i just never really wanted to and never hope to. but imma kindly send this video to them and say here it’s up to you not gonna judge if you don’t stop vaping but you are more then powerful then a vape to stop. this is such a beautiful message and so proud of all the hard work you’ve accomplished and hope it continues to do well:)
This was an amazing documentary. So well made. Addiction is extremely difficult, whether it be behavioral or substance addictions. Anyone and everyone can be addicted to things and people need to stop looking down on those who are deemed "addicts". Most of the time, people become addicted to things to cope with something they are missing. I'm personally addicted to my phone, picking at my skin, random sugar/snack binges, my medication, and even addictions to other people can be a thing. When the thing you're constantly doing is damaging you and those around you but you cannot stop. I am going to keep trying, no matter how much it takes.
You edited it so wonderfully that it captivated everyone until the very end. You had such a wonderful meaningful story to share and we were literally addicted to your video from the beginning till the very end!! i love the little flashbacks u would do, and the way you cued the music and the song choices and everything literally CHEFS KISS
Look into Allen Carr's Easyway system. Quitting addictions can be so easy and simple. Speaking from experience after years of trying and failing to quit.
Watching my parents smoke their whole lives and seeing how much it affects them has always saddened me,an addiction is not a choice it’s an illness. Get help if you need it and free yourself you got this ❤️
I have a really hard time watching “long” videos and documentary’s but this one was so great to see her really put herself out there and show us it is possible and it gave me hope and inspiration for what I should do myself
Gawd damn proud of you. Seriously. My daughter was addicted to crack and other drugs, never nicotine, but still the same. It’s hard I know. Not for myself but for my loved ones. You are so strong. You are truly a champion. Nicotine is a hard drug to kick. ❤❤❤❤
I’ve been nicotine free for three years now after smoking for a little over 20 years. You said something very important at around 3:22, that I was about to comment, which was stay busy. Do things you enjoy doing, and simply don’t think about it. Stay away from people who vape or smoke. You got this 😁
I love how this video not only portrays the naked truth of addiction, but also serves as a wake up call to those who are still on time to quit without having to go through such a painful and challenging process. Great job!

Beware of parties. They seem fun when you’re young but that’s where all the bad stuff happens.
I swear nicotine has to be the hardest thing to quit!!!! Im a paraplegic and been through more shit in 22 yrs than ppl could even begin to imagine an i pulled through all of it. Litterally came very close to dieing from suicide, bacterial spinal meningitis, gangrene on a wound, had to get lower part of one leg amputated, having a child, anither suicide attempt, my husband saved me once, the other time my brothers wife's grandfather found me in my car one morning in the cemetery where my dad is barried, he died when i was 7, getting addicted to pain meds an much more shit, but nicotine has to be the fucking hardest an i cant even fucking do it. I just cant. I stopped smoking n started vaping years ago. I dont cough at all. I used to when i smoked cigarettes though. Man i wish i could quit. I'd be so lost lol. Ok let me start watching ur video.
Im super duper proud of ur ass for quitting. Best thing u could do for urself. I can't even do it
So, you can partake in nicotine, you just don't want to repeatedly use nicotine. If you use it at a party, that's fine. What will get you addicted is if you use it for the hangover and beyond. I would advise never doing it at all, but if you do, it will not be a life ender in anyway, so don't worry so much about it.
@@Remedy462 Horrible advise.
I've smoked lots and lots of cigarettes, cigars, hookah's, etc at parties and I have absolutely no desire to consume nicotine.
Don't get noceboed into a completely wrong picture of addiction.
I personally do not vape. but I can really appreciate a sincere documentary advocating for quitting that isn't some sort of TV campaign that just makes recovering addicts/addicts who desire to quit feel worse or just deter them from quitting altogether. this was a great look at how nicotine addiction is a reality. congrats on quitting and great doc.
I appreciate your kind words and support immensely, thank you
I think those TV commercials are doing it on purpose, because they don't really want people to quit smoking/vaping
@@nevermindimjustapasserby true, it’s all apart of the agenda to ruin the next generation
Not difficult just stop doing it, and end relationships with people that do it. Breathe air, literally
@@24soltigre yeah i stoped pretty easy its nothing hard to do if u think its hard u are just a weak human beeing
It's truly fascinating how different people react to addiction. My story was this: "Man this shits expensive" *throws vape out car window* and that was it. No withdrawals, no challenge. For some reason my body just didn't react that way. Hoping this makes people less scared to quit, it could be easy or it could be hard. You won't know until you try.
mine too lol. when my disposable vape ran out of puffs i just threw it out and thought damn i could buy some clothes with that money then i never smoked/vaped again
😭😭😭😭
For me it sucks, but I don’t feel any where close to what she experienced 😦 just massive amounts of irritation and a lack of comfort from the habit. I’ve been smoking cigarettes and vaping for 10+ years
How long and how mutch did't you vape?
@@johnyjohnjohnson1317 I would go through a breeze plus in about 2-4 days. Or a whole puff bar in a single day at my peak consumption. I was at that level for over 6 months, but had vapoed on and off for about 3 years prior.

it'a so gross and depressing how widespread nicotine usage has become, especially amongst young people. it's such a terrible habit. I quit smoking cigarettes for months and then relapsed and now I've been stuck in a loop for almost a year and trying to get up the nerve to quit again for good. also you seem super cool. proud of you for sticking with it.
You can do it! Let this serve as motivation to quit :)
It hasn’t just become widespread lol! Do u not realize how much it has gone DOWN?
People used to smoke on airplanes and in restaurants !
Smoking is not socially acceptable nowadays but it used to be
you can do this!! there will never be a "right" time. you will always find an excuse to hide behind. you need to realize you are strong enough, and that you can stop RIGHT NOW. you don't need to build up courage-- you already have it. you can do this. you are not alone
@@sophritoh socially unacceptable (which is only because of the health issues) doesn't mean it has gone down. By comparison of earlier years, it's definitely not as common but it HAS gotten more widespread. It's to the point that fresh out of elementary children are hitting Jules and shit. We're talking 6th graders and up. My friend has reported mfing 12 year olds selling vapes, coke, and i know of nothing else. I don't believe that is nicotine's usage going down. But either way, this discussion isn't the point of the OP.
@@sophritoh cigarette usage has gone down but vaping has gone up and gotten much worse
"I can't believe I was using something that made me throw up when I quit, that made me have mood swings, that had _that_ much control over my body. And I'm so happy I stuck it out because I feel like I am in control now of my life and my body." SO POWERFUL! So proud of you & thanks for taking us along this journey with you!!

Thank you Francis
my ex-boyfriend has been vaping for almost a decade and it always made me so incredibly sad to hear him cough, have chest pains and go through mood swings. i often cried at the sound of his coughs, knowing how much he was knowingly, but helplessly hurting himself. addiction is really difficult to overcome and anyone who chooses to go on this journey is amazing. it takes time and patience but it will always be worth it! you can do it!

Never give up on quitting. You will eventually get it to stick.
No she's not. I quit cold turkey with 0 issues. Here is how you do it. Throw out your vape gun, coils, juices in the garbage. Done. No crying like a baby in the corner that is bs. This entire video is trash.
Severe health problems and/or death due to nicotine is one of those things that no one thinks will effect them until it does. Like you’re invincible… until you’re not. Props to you- I think this type of awareness coming from a young person will be so much more effective for our generation.
I relate to this not bc I vape (which I don’t) bc I broke my arm in November. And not like a small little fractcher in one of my bones, it was a full on break, my arm snapped right in half. And I never thought something like that would ever happen to me up until it did. Honestly it’s a really powerful message.
There is literally no evidence that vaping nicotine can lead to serious health problems, not a single person has died or been hospitalized from vaping regulated nicotine juice. All of those news scare stories that came out about people dying or being hospitalized form vaping were vaping black market THC cartridges, not nicotine. The media purposely made it look like it was nicotine. Do some research. The only people who got hospitalized from vaping nicotine were a few people who vaped some unregulated popcorn flavour that was bad for the lungs, but it was banned years ago and since then there hasn't been a single person who got negative health problems from vaping.
Can you share some info on health problems or death due to nicotine? Cigarettes certainly, tainted THC cartridges, yes, but problems from nicotine alone I believe is very similar to that of caffeine. Please remember there is a difference between tobacco, cigarettes, and nicotine.
@@karic.6491 There is no link to serious health problems from vaping just nicotine, no one has every been hospitalized from just vaping quality nicotine juice. The only hospitalizations related to vaping nicotine were from a unregulated popcorn flavoured e-juice but it's been banned now.
@@karic.6491 I agree, cigarettes will obviously mess you up but just nicotine from vapes is a lot different
I am 15 years old and quit nicotine after almost a year, which isn’t much, but it kept me addicted. I was a premature baby by two months, so my lungs were already bad. I’m so proud of myself for quitting.

Go you!
3 years ago, before we got married, my wife found out that I had been vaping at work. She didn’t give me an ultimatum, but rather she gave me a HAND WRITTEN list of all the things we couldn’t do if I died from cancer. When I saw that list I decided to stop. It’s been a long road of ups and downs, but I ultimately stopped. Going strong! Quitting vaping was so much harder than giving up alcohol and I’ve been sober for 3.5 years. To all those out there struggling with vaping addiction: I love you and wish you healing vibes.
EDIT: I should’ve mentioned that I smoked for 7 years from ages 18-25. I am now 29. Vaping wasn’t helping me at all.
Your wife is the coolest
Sometimes I really wish we knew vaping was just as bad as smoking, I feel like it would be so much easier for me.
How are you doing? Do you get cravings randomly?
you dont get cancer from nicotine bro
@@gauchodino6633 Yeah, I really get cravings at work. When I got stressed all the time, I would just drag at my desk. I felt hazy without it, but I decided to start drinking tea and eating more peppermints. Basically just traded one oral fixation for another.
Ill say it again.. magic mushrooms should be the only supplement to take!!
I remember having some minor surgery years ago and at that point I had never done any kind of drug at all. I didn't even drink small amounts of coffee or alcohol. They hit me with an intravenous dose of Demerol and I felt worst so after my mushroom hit I found a better part of myself.
Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, has shown promise in treating depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
where do you get from ?
How do I get some?

It's so weird how this popped up on my home page when I recently quit, will be 12 days tomorrow! I'm dealing with all the mood swings and emotions you were having, it made me cry watching honestly. I have also been eating a lot which I have been struggling with because I did have an eating disorder in high school and this is the most I have ever eaten. I get so upset with myself afterwards. This video really helped me feel a bit stronger
You got this. Don’t give up. You have a lot ahead of you
Keep going, you’ve got this!! It will be so worth it and you’ll feel amazing soon💜
I‘m so proud of you! But remember that even when you‘re gaining a lot of weight rn, it‘s just a coping mechanism for your body because you‘re not vaping. In a couple months you won‘t be craving food as much anymore and therefore you can loose the weight, sport is always good :) and even rn, you could do sport to avoid gaining even more weight, it‘s actually so much fun!
I’m so proud of you!! You’re doing amazing & it will get better!! 7 days left of the hardest withdrawal symptoms. While that statement is based on the documentary experience, it’ll probably be similar for you because when I’ve withdrawn from addictions when I get around 20 days it does get better!! You’ve got this!!
Look into Allen Carr's Easyway system. Quitting addictions can be so easy and simple.
People think vaping is nothing and it’s just for fun, and that “everyone does it”, no matter how many people do it the side affects are still the same. So many people I know vape and they joke about their addiction but it takes something like this video to show them just how serious their addiction is. Thank you xx
They likely know how bad it is and are just so deep into it. so sad :(
Vaping is actually more addictive than smoking cigarettes. Depending on the brand it could be 2-3x more addictive cause they can manipulate nicotine percentages.
People kinda joke about the nicotine addiction thing because they don’t believe they’re actually addicted like that because they haven’t tried to go days without stopping. They don’t ever feel the withdrawals which is why they joke about it.
@@thatcrazychick3108 I used to have ppl in my college ask me to hit my vape, 18 year olds while I am 7 years older than them, and I gave it to them while saying “you are becoming addicted to nicotine, I hope you know that” and also told them that I started vaping to stop smoking cigarettes which is 100 times worse, and that they are becoming attached to something very addictive without any previous addiction to cigarettes which was the primary reason ecigs were invented,
I was always willing to give them my vape but I never stopped telling them what they were doing with their lungs and brains every time they did until they stopped asking me because they finally understood, that me coming everyday to college hitting a vape was because I was addicted to it, not because it was fun for me anymore as it was for them that they were “starting”
@@TheHealthConscounist truthfully, I believe they knew what they were doing the whole time. They’ve seen the commercials, they hear it in school, they’ve even seen the warning labels on the boxes. To me it sounds like the hit was no longer worth the lecture every time and that’s why they stopped asking you but it would be really nice if they stop asking you because they stopped doing it altogether.
Oh my god this is so EXCELLENTLY DONE ! I'm in-love with your story telling ! Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you so much, that means more than you know!
It's actually really crazy to see how addiction can kill you slowly like this!!, ya'll are so brave and strong if you're dealing with this, keep going u got this ❤
Its not that deep bro yall are weird as heck
“You have to say no every day” hit me like a ton of bricks. I quit 6 years ago and I have to remember even now that I can never go back. I remember quitting for the 20th or so time and going through those first 2 weeks of withdrawal and saying “this has to be it. I can never go back because I will never make it through these first two weeks again”. I quit alcohol that year too and developed emotional/binge eating when I didn’t address the underlying issue of why I was only able to comfort myself with substances. Four years later I was able to get my eating under control too. A lot of that time I didn’t even realize I had a problem with it. For me it just took time to start rooting compulsion out of my life, and sometimes the removal of one compulsion made me lean into others, but that helped bring light to those areas and helped me address the root cause of WHY I was needing to cling to these things.
I am an addict because I never learned how to comfort myself when dealing with unpleasant emotions. My parents never taught me because no one ever taught them. I could not soothe myself. I could not encourage myself. And it’s not that I tried to and couldn’t. I just never realized that I could. I didn’t know that was an option. Everything to reassure me had to come from outside sources. This resulted in addiction and codependency. I am still figuring out that last one.
To anyone reading this that is still suffering in addiction: You are the only one that truly knows the depth and impact of your pain. You know what you’ve been through and survived. There is nothing to prove. nothing to explain. You already know the depth of it all. Be with yourself about that!! Notice yourself and all that you’ve been through. Acknowledge your strength (it’s ok to start small!). Build a conversation and exist WITH yourself to help work through and validate your pain, and maybe one day your happiness too. Build that inner relationship with yourself. One that you’ve likely been cut off from for a long time. Help give yourself what you have so desperately needed from others. Show love to yourself in all of the way that others have left you hanging. But ultimately, just keep going!!!
I hope one day you can see how strong you are for making it this far. I hope one day you will feel safe with yourself. To be your protector and to the feel the safety of your protection.
I hope one day you can recognize the light in yourself that you so easily recognize in others.
Beautiful that you shared your story. Just wanted to say thank you for it.
Beautifully said. Congratulations on your journey ❤️
this is amazing thank you so much for telling us ❤️
This was a really, really beautiful comment. Gonna remember all of this when I’m struggling. Thank you.
❤❤
i’ve never vaped or been addicted in my life but i decided to watch this anyway and im so glad i did. i don’t even know you but i’m so proud of you girl and i hope your life turns out to be everything you’ve always wanted.
I literally decided to quit nicotine just two weeks ago and it has been so challenging. The support of your friends and family is so cruicial. Hopefully I'll be able to follow through this for a year. xx
Look into Allen Carr's Easyway system. Quitting addictions can be so easy and simple. Speaking from experience after years of trying and failing to quit.
If you smoked, try fake herbal cigarettes! I’ve heard they help a lot
And don't forget, you got 557 people supporting you right here!! From what I've seen, the hardest part is the beginning, and you are so strong for following through. Keep fighting
hows it going? just remember to distract yourself until it's been 20-30 days and the chemicals are out of your system :)
You got this!
This is so well filmed and broadcasted, i love how real this is. U don’t realise how many ppl this will help.
This is criminally underrated. It’s a great resource for all who are struggling to see that yes, it’s possible. I wish you and all others dealing with addiction the best.
Thank you :')
The issue with this is that she went cold turkey, if you spend a few months weaning down to a cigarette a day, you can quit, I've been smoking for 7 years, and I only smoke twice a day, sometimes I can go days without it

As someone who has experienced addiction with self harm it was very cool to see how you handled your addiction. There's obviously some differences, one of the main things for me was how almost anything could be turned into something that could hurt me and that was what made it so hard to quit for me. As of today I have been 206 days since I last self harmed and I feel almost everything you feel: more myself, happier, healthier, more focused, etc. So yes it is absolutely worth it to quit whatever you're struggling with!! Love you McCall
Mary, thank you for sharing your story. Words cannot express how proud I am of you and how inspirational your story is. You are such a light, keep going
so so proud of u.
Been there, I know how you feel and I've stopped too. Scars are fading, but mental health been going downhill
Awesome, congratulations! You deserve a life of love and peace and it starts with yourself! Keep going 🤍🦁🌹😉
Its been over a year for my since I self harmed but I totally relate to this. The thoughts are still there. I still want to hurt myself.
Those addiction thoughts are hard to break.
Quitting cigarettes was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, people don’t understand how hard overcoming addiction really is, congratulations girl x
Great job Anna ! I’m glad you’re living a more healthy life ♥️And you were able to quit
Congratulations to you!!
Stopping biting my nails seems harder. I gave up nicotine for over a year once and that seemed easier.
@@ebogar42 each to their own, I was a chain smoker for 8 years of my life so it was very hard for me, especially living with other people that smoked.
@@annaa_louiise Nicotine was hard for me too but I've never been able to give up on biting nails. I had a year in at least with nicotine that I stopped. Trying again now. Not doing so well. lol
I’m so so proud of you! It’s truly incredible to see people leave addictions, just to see that you actually cared about your life enough to go through all that is amazing! You are so beautiful! God does outrageous things in people’s life and it’s truly a blessing! God is good all the time! You are enough sis!💞💞
This makes me so glad that i never got addicted to nicotine in high school, even when literally everyone else around me was doing it. Huge props to you for taking charge of your own life and bettering yourself! You’re an inspiration.
you missed out
Everyone was vaping/smoking around you, and you know what? You were absorbing nicotine though the skin everytime you were near them.
@@carnistpolice shut the fuck up thats like minimal amounts that totals to just about nothinig
@@carnistpolice 2nd hand vaping doesn't exist
@@carnistpolice hoold on, what? You literally can't get nicotine through the skin from the vape or cigarette smoke 😂 however the smoke will in fact, damage your lungs just as much as the smokers' around you soo yeah...
to anyone that’s thinking of quitting. IT IS NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS. don’t let this video stop you. keep yourself busy and chew lots of gum and you’ll be alright!!!
Another important thing to know is that it only gets worse and harder to quit the longer you do it, I been vaping for almost 10 years now, if you've only been vaping a couple years it will not be that hard to quit, time goes by quickly, don't end up like me... lmao
I quit cigares a month ago. Nowhere near as hard to quit as cigs (done that before) but yeah after a couple weeks you're pretty much in the clear if you ignore the little random cravings and you forget you even smoked most of the time.
Im a vaper and it's not really that hard to quit at least i think... I had bought one Liquid 10ml bootle to be clear.. when i vaped the whole bottle i didn't had a urge to go directly to a shop to buy a new one actually I didn't bought any for weeks.. buuut as i said im still a vaper and i dont plan to quit ofc until something happen to me you know.. i actually like some flavours like like from elfbar theres a Liquid called elfiq kiwi passion fruit and guava and omg that taste is damn goood
It depends in how long and how severe you use it. For me I have vaped then smoked cigarettes and it was back and forth. But I noticed everytime I would quit cigarettes and begin vaping I vaped a lot more. I use it as a crutch. When I'm happy,sad,angry,hungry,thirsty, and bored. I ended up using nicotine when I got put in foster care because it was the only thing I could go to for comfort. I look forward to it because it was a stability in my life that brought me 'joy'. Usually when I attempt to quit (which I have tried many times) I end up getting severely depressed and that is what makes me cave in. The cycle then repeats where I feel bad that I'm using nicotine again (hence why I went on this video). So for a majority of people, maybe it isn't that hard but for others it can be extremely difficult especially for someone who was a user of other substances. So we can't just discredit. I'm not calling her a liar or saying that she is telling the truth about her experience. I'm just going based on my experience of nicotine. I have also been on all of the nicotine replacement therapy and the two medications (which I had bad side effects from and allergic to the patch)
If you keep yourself busy you don’t have time for this. I work, go gym and keep busy. I found myself reaching out for vape due to boredom!
this is edited so well, im excited for this to gain traction so many people need to see this especially young teens and people who are reaching a part in their life where it becomes okay and acceptable to have a nicotine addiction, where it becomes the default. You did great I can't even imagine how hard it was for you to go through it, record it, and then revisit and edit footage from when you were in the worst of your symptoms. Amazing amazing work!
Ah this is so kind, thank you so much
This!! 🫂❤️
Wow. I smoked for 20 years and didn’t go through all that drama. Yea there was cravings but no depression anxiety and crying. Bless these kids!
That's really fucking cool for you. 🍪?
the first time i quit i eneded up in the er my anxiety was so bad. I picked it up again and quit again and im 56 days into it and my anxiety is horrible . im glad op got threough it with no problems but im suffering lmao.@@BrandynAF
Im on day 22 of no nicotine. Probably the worst thing for me was the brain fog. I constantly feel like im not fully awake. All the other symptoms are nothing for me.
@@felixf4378 Good Job, I hope you keep it up and manage to quit your nicotine addiction! (Sorry if my english isnt good)

Was addicted to heroin and drinking of alcohol for over 7 years. Also suffered severe depression. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin. After trying out a psilocybin mushrooms treatment, I will be 3 years clean. Psilocybin mushrooms actually saved me from depression and addiction. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I've been looking to try shrooms, just very difficult to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need!
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out it's been the best remedy I've ever had. Psilocybin being illegal is actually a crime against humanity!
Hey man I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms
Yup!, he's Dr.benshrooms. my first shrooms trip was really awesome. It felt like I was deep into the sea.
was addicted to what i called a trifecta Meth, Opium, Alcohol. I also suffered severe depression i went to a party and consumed about 2 eights of shrooms i was lost in my head for 2 days but when i came back my depression and addiction to my trifecta was gone. I didn't realize it at the time. The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have good permanent results
It’s been 6 years now. I’m almost 21. I’m not there yet, but I want to be and you are so strong for completing this goal!
When i stopped smokin cigarttes and i smoked for like 5years vapes cigarttes snus and everrything that was nicotine, and its possible to stop With God, and when i stopped sure IT was hard after 2 Week i smoked again and Failed but somrone Said to me that give Ur all like do ur best and God Will do The rest, and i really did all for 2 weeks maybe More multiple Times and then i Failed started smoking cigarttes a little again , and then i waked up and My addiction was gone and stayed like that
Pretty Similar thing happened with Weed i Said God if u Are real take My addiction away , and next Day addiction was gone , and has Been like that
And God IS actually real The history of Jesus there being like 25000 ancient manuscripts of Jesus Life death and resurscttion that matchs with 99% accuraty proves that
I vaped everyday for about 3 years straight. One day I just decided to stop, I saw the effects it had on my physical and mental health and I didn’t like it. I didn’t have any withdraw symptoms besides cravings. I wish anyone trying to quit the best of luck and don’t over think it, you can do it!
People need to understand that while I can be an incredibly difficult journey, quitting doesn’t necessarily entail that
Yeah I was vaping for 5 years and just last week decided to quit. Full stop, I feel perfectly fine. I don't even crave it really. The only thing I want is to satisfy my hand-to-mouth habit. it's only a week in too and I'm sure others may find it much much harder. but it's not always as hard as what's shown in this video.
Same dude I’m like 2 months in and going strong. Head does go on an instant swivel when I smell that sweet blue razz outside a club tho 😅
@@tartaras101 Wish you the best continuing that! I think its been at least 6-7 months since I’ve even touched any nicotine product
@@tartaras101 you can try holding a snack shaped like a stick to replace the vape. In Japan there’s this thing called cocoa cigarettes that’s just candy shaped like a cigar
I've never vaped, and I plan on not vaping. It's really hard to not try when all my friends around me do, but watching videos and hearing stories like yours motivates me to believe in myself. I may never have experienced addiction on this level or in this way, but addiction comes in many forms and I'm currently battling something myself. This is a great video, and you're helping so many people all around the world. Thank you
I had the same problem almost year ago and I recommend to you to look at them and notice, if they are happy during vaping or they do this automatically without taking pleasure. Also if you have voices in your mind like "It helps in social situations" then look at non-smokers and non-vapers, generally non-nicotine addicted people, are they more stressed than vapers? Do they need something to socialaze? Non-smokers are more relaxed than smokers, non-smokers better control their emotions, so why people smoke? I recommend read "Allen Carr - Easyway to quit smoking" and you will quit as I did and millions of happy non-smokers
@@zaczi Yeah reminds me, "ever notice skinny folks do not use diet Coke?"
Please do not ever do it, its so sad seeing what my friends “nicotine addictions” have turned into. they hit it 24/7 they cant be without it or else they go crazy, always beg to buy them off eachother, and they have even switched to even more hard core drugs. dont ever vape/smoke its not worth it at all. your friends are going to regret saying youre a loser or whatever for not hitting it when they are in the hospital years later with lung damage. please dont vape
@@J_ake It saddens me to see non-smokers ever pick this stuff up and not all want to hear me inplore them to quit.
@@jstevinik3261 dont get why you so pressed just telling ppl to not smoke. my grandma heavily smoked her whole life and is now dying with dementia blind and w lung cancer she cant even remember me and can barely breathe
as someone who also started vaping as a freshman and is now 19, but still addicted…i am bawling. i hope and pray so badly i can find the strength you found to quit. i want to so bad but am so scared of what the with drawls will do to me. this video helped me realize so much 🤍thank you
Better the withdrawals than the dangers of nicotine. Hope you'll find the strength to quit. You can do it. 👏
😂
a lot of people are scared of the withdrawals but they are not always as bad as shown in this video. there is some level of physical dependence but that mostly is gone by day 3. from there, it is a total mental game. I quit over a year ago after vaping for 5+ years by reading this book "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by alan carr. look it up and try it, it is literally world famous for helping people quit nicotine. the book tells you to continue vaping/smoking while you read, so theres no pressure in buying it. I HIGHLY recommend if you really want to quit.
In my experience , I slowly decrease the amount of nicotine in my vape solution until I was at the lowest I could go (3mg? I can't remember). I hung that coat rail for like 6 months before I eventually was ready to stop. Since I was on a lower dose I felt like the withdrawal wasn't as severe. I maybe experienced 3 days of discomfort and moodiness, after that it got easier day by day. I still want to smoke occasionally but it's always a fleeting thought. You will have to find alternative ways of managing your stress levels if you do let go of nicotine, that's probably the biggest piece of advise I can give. Good luck to you.
The withdrawals arent that Bad with nicotine. Maybe Just a slumped energyless feeling in the First 3 days. After That its Just a craving youll get here and there
You guys have no idea how addictive this can be until you get addicted to something. I'm really happy that you stopped. ❤💜
as someone who's never had a nicotine addiction, this video has helped me understand what a lot of people go through/have gone through and I'm grateful to know how to support whoever is in need. the editing was very well made and to everyone out there who wants to change I wish you good luck and you all got this. One day at a time :)
As someone that is going through this at this very moment and feel like I’ll go crazy if I don’t feel that nicotine buzz this video gives me a lot of inspiration. I want to regain control of my life and I have isolated myself from all the triggers. But as an addict everyday is hard and has its unique challenges. Thank you for making this!
Even though it is really hard, you are super amazing for even taking the first step to stop. Even though i do not know you, i am very proud of you, and i believe that you can do it!!
@@cereal787 thank you so much for your kind words ☺️
@@Mcg7773 no problem, i wish you all the best 😁😁
i used to hit my vape like every single day, first thing in the morning, last thing at night. I didn’t realize i was addicted bc it didn’t feel like what people said an addiction was. i experienced everything alone because i had never told my parents i was still vaping. it was hard, but i haven’t hit nic in like 8 months and i feel a lot better now
how long were you addicted to nic?
That’s interesting. I’ve tried nic with my friends and have even bought some of my own. I vaped all day for about 3 weeks everyday until all the vapes I bought were done and didn’t really see a need in continuing so I just never went and bought anymore. I never experienced any of the withdrawals that she was mentioning. In fact I felt completely fine. I’m curious to know how it was for you. Did you feel any of the things she mentioned?
@@deathxwarfare 3 and a half years
@@spectacle1003 i had a few. the hunger, irritability, anger issues. i had a huge dependence on nic, and it left me having depressive episodes.
@@spectacle1003 If you only use something for less than a month, it doesn’t give your brain enough time to attach itself to it and ultimately become addicted. Therefore, you were not addicted. Addictions happen over months and years.
Sean saved a couple of lives and so did you. As a Mom, I’m willing to bet whatever amount of disappointment your parents may have felt that you lied and hadn’t actually quit, is minute compared to the pride they’re probably feeling after watching this. My teenage son sent me this video so although we don’t know you or the rest of your story, your message is reaching exactly who it needs to. If you aren’t already heading in that direction, making movies/documentaries should be in your future! Congratulations and good luck on a very bright future ahead!
thank u for making this - as of right now I’m only 6 days clean … after over 5 years of a pretty steady nic addiction it’s been HARD! the headaches, feel like i can’t concentrate, etc … i stumbled across your video on tik tok & it’s really given me the motivation to keep working through this one day at a time :) hearing your story and knowing it will get easier and will be worth it is amazing so again THANK YOU!

I’m with you girl!! I’m on day 3 right now and it’s been really hard.. but it helps me a lot to keep a journal where I update it daily on how I’m feeling & what I did each day. I feel like it’s easier to stick to something if you already feel invested in it.
You can do this!!!!!
Proud of u , keep going 🔥y’all got this
have you started back doing it or are you still clean? if you’re still clean i know it’s very easy to lose motivation but think of the good benefits you’ll have in the future
Almost up to 72 hours of no nicotine, after being extremely addicted for a year, I am very proud of my mental strength. This documentary definitely helped me realise how I’m not alone in this battle. Thankyou :)
Congrats on your progress so far! Did you know, eight hours after quitting your lungs have already started to heal? Well done!
Hang in there. It's gonna be tough. You'll face triggers like habits of when or where you'd most likely take a hit. Have a bag of barley sugars or something similar in your pocket for those moments so you can suck on that for distraction and get a little energy boost at the same time. Your hands need something to do as well. Maybe a stress ball or fidget spinner for a while.
I speak from experience: I replaced smoking ciggies with vaping but used a mod rather than disposables so that I could slowly lower the nic concentration. I still vape, but only pure VG, no nic at all. I had my last ciggie 5 years ago now. You can do it too! Cheering you on!

any updates?
I quit January 2nd of 2022 and I still miss vaping. This is NOT to discourage any one from quitting, but it is to show the hold it can have on you. We don’t stop vaping bc we didn’t like it. We stop vaping because we know the cost if we keep doing it. If anyone is in the quitting process, I’m very proud of you, and the cravings WILL SUBSIDE. (I used nicotine patches to help the withdrawals. Regular gum, candy, and food for the oral fixation, and I hyper fixated on games like Pokémon. This is what helped me, but what works for one person might not work for everyone) I encourage hobbies and things to keep you busy. When you are busy you think about it less!! Best of luck💕
I just hit one year vape free, most people think vaping hurts you but if you buy real vapes from trustworthy sources you should be fine. The evali outbreak came from counterfit weed carts but some people have been hurt from counterfit vapes too. My point is that most likely vaping will be fine for you, but why take the chance?
Omg I quit January 4th of 2022
fuck that we need reformed rehab
these symptoms are prevalant even with sober minds in todays society and the rate we have learned good and bad at everything.. too fast. any medication is for the same

This was literally a movie! The way it was shot was amazing and I’m glad people are seeing the bad parts of nicotine and how if you have enough drive you can get through it! This wasn’t only about a girl kicking nicotine it was about changing your life for the better.
this really changed my perspective on addiction, me personally i am not addicted to anything but my family members and close friends are now i know its up to them if they quit or not and i know the reality of it all i love this video oml and im so proud of you and how far youve come!
want to share my story as well: i was a nic addict since i was 13 and i couldnt imagine my life without cigs or vapes anymore, it felt like a part of me, not having something to smoke in my hand felt like something is not right and immediately made me anxious, even if it was few seconds. if i lost my vapes or cigs i got FURIOUS and was screaming at anyone who even tried to talk to me… i didnt think of it as a problem at first, untill it started borrowing money from my friends to buy nic cuz i spent ALL of my pocket money. at that point i knew it already got too concerning and i needed to do something, so i decided to quit: it was hard decision, cuz all my friends would vape/smoke near me and i was sure i wouldnt even last an hour without a nic, well i was underrating myself! i threw out both of my juuls, three other vapes, all my vape juices, 3 full packs of cigs, and basically EVERYTHING that had nicotine in my house, even if it was unopened, brand new, EVERYTHING! was thrown away. and i think that was the best decision ive ever made. it was hard at first, hell yeah it was, i was even having dreams where i smoke when i was asleep, which made me wake up terrified that i relapsed, only to realize later that it was a dream😭 But i never gave up, no matter how hard for me it was :)
now im 17, 18 in august, i graduated, got into college and proudly stating that im 7 months clean! and never been happier :) i dont crave nic at all, i dont want to smoke even tho all my friends still do, sometimes i even forget that ive ever smoked! saying “sorry i dont smoke” when someone gives me their vape to try is so natural for me… im extremely proud of myself:) and you can do it as well. everyone can do it, sometimes you just need to push a bit harder
i am so proud of you, it makes me glad to hear how well you're doing now. Well done

Mirabella, I just discovered your channel and I admire the resilience it took for you to actually go through with this (and I'm glad to see you made it to 1 year.) You are an inspiration.
I’m a recovering heroin addict and I carried on smoking cigarettes for two years after I got clean, I found it so hard to quit. They’re two completely different addictions but both equally as hard to stop in a lot of ways
I just want to say im proud of you, I cant imagine how difficult it would be to quit both of those
I'm so proud of you for even taking the challenge as well as documenting it for others to see. I wish people were more understanding of addictions rather than judgemental of it. You're so strong for going through withdrawals and everything, but the end is so much more worth it. ❤️
Somehow this was the most accurate video on nicotine withdrawal I’ve ever seen. If anyone thinks it was dramatic, it’s because quitting nicotine is a dramatic thing to go through. This was really helpful.
It aint that hard really
As someone who was on cigs and vapes for 10 years I quit 2 weeks ago and honestly the first 4 days are hard but after that’s it’s been very easy
it aint dramatic yall just weak sperms
you act like its heroin nicotine withdrawls are nothing crazy
@@laythien5342 true but hey everyone is different it comes down to mentality in the end you can’t quit without the mentality
Congratulations! I have been a two pack a day smoker for 51 years. I know I will die from it and probably soon. I hope your video helps others to quit and maybe stop some from even starting. No hope for me but I am truly happy for you. I hope you have a long, healthy life full of fun, laughter and much love.
I’m 3 months free. Thank Jesus.. the first 2 weeks I thought I was going to die. But after wards the anxiety gets better. It’s so worth it. But EVERYDAY, it’s a battle. Seeing it and being around it constantly, and being able to say no feels so good.
I'm at day 11 and it is hard af 😪 I was feeling really motivated the first couple of days but the last few days I'm starting to think of giving up. Currently I haven't just yet only because everyone says that the first 2 weeks are the worst so I really wanna make it at least that far and then see if I can keep going. My life issues are also not helping here and I've started substituting nicotine with alcohol and that's even worse so if I don't stop drinking I'll have to start smoking again cause that's just the lesser evil. Wow this is really long xD okay bye
Edit: just some spelling mistakes
Update: if anyone is interested in knowing how far I made it, I gave up on day 17 unfortunately... might try again in a while
@@sherryqueen2545 girly lemme just start off by saying if your still doing good and staying strong I’m proud of you! I’m 140+ days now. No nic, w33d, alcohol or anything, I promise after the first 2 weeks it does get easier and you do got this: although I won’t say the thought of just quitting goes away bc it doesn’t. You just have to be stronger than that, and those thoughts, if you can make it 3 days you can make it 3 weeks and if 3 weeks than 3 months. You got this❤️🤞🏼
Bro i am 9 days now without smoking. I am having some panic attacks , depression , loss of appetite and mind numbness. How many days will these last?? When i will start seeing some improvement?
And scond question is doctor has provided me some anti depressants like bupropion . Should i take them??
@@jadepeyton1284 thanks for the support but I have failed 😔 I'll try again when I have the courage
@@jadepeyton1284 wow I'm impressed by you, I'm also a weed smoker and although I can go long periods without it I feel like it's probably really hard to give up when you're really hooked
Im so freaking proud of you. I don’t deal with addiction but my older brother does. this was an incredible documentary. Thank you for sharing your story!
So proud of you and I hope everyone who watches this and is trying to quit is inspired and able to stop vaping.
You are such a fucking legend. I am so glad that you took this step in life and keep going strong. I know its hard but you just have to keep going.
This deserves so much more attention, thank you for bringing awareness to this. I never knew that quitting nicotine/vaping could make you withdraw.
yup even a tough breakup can make you withdraw
@@Ghettomoney what does withdraw mean...socially withdrawn?
@@liveinshyam right im kinda confused as well..
@@liveinshyam Yup. A tough breakup may make you disassociate/withdraw from society. Tough breakups and/or tough relationships may breed a sociopath.
@@liveinshyam nope, she probably meant that a breakup can make you experience withdrawal. Which is true. Breakups can make you experience withdrawal symptoms, not only psychological but even physical.
Extremely well put and congratulations.
I've been a smoker/vaper for 12 years now, and you just gave me the courage to try and stop. wish me luck.
goodluck ☺️
Good luck!! How are you doing?
goodluck
Look into Allen Carr's Easyway system. Quitting addictions can be so easy and simple. Speaking from experience after years of trying and failing to quit.
good luck!! keep going because i know you can do it
I started at 14. I'm currently 22 and still trying to kick the nic habit. Mad props to anyone who's had the strength to fully quit and never go back. I've quit 7 times and relapsed each time. I try but the withdrawal and mood swings are too intense for me to handle. To any teens who still think vaping is please reconsider. It's not cool and not a game and I pay the price daily for it.
how do u pay the price daily?
@@speedy7597 jesus
7 months off of it, still going, there’s still temptation, but I’m hell bent on never going back. The first month was an absolute nightmare, then it got easier
@@allhailexoticanimals8866 I started at 13 and I’m almost 16. I need help bro. Going through this alone and watching all my friends get addicted to nic more and lots of other shi is so hard cuz I can’t stop thinking bout it. I can’t even eat anymore without feeling nauseous
Anyone who is that young should Know better. If I tried anything like that at age 14, I wouldn't be around TODAY because my dad would have ended me.
I respect the amount of willpower, even while you were going through hell you still stayed off it (Hope you're still going strong after a year)
I hope it isn't weird for you to have a complete stranger say they're proud of you, but I have to say that I felt really proud of you watching this video. Thank you for documenting this and putting yourself out there like that.
This was super well made- totally agree with others who said it should be shown in schools. It’s super inspiring for those who want to quit and to keep people from starting in the first place. Good on you for doing it and best of luck sticking with it!
I deadass was looking for a video like this probably 2 weeks ago and got all ads and old ppl I couldn’t relate to… TOTALLY AGREE this video was so so good so relatable I hope ppl find this video and not the ones I found LOL
This is so sad as well as inspiring. I’ve personally never been addicted, but from what I’ve heard, it’s really hard to deal with. At the point of addiction, your body is so used to doing whatever it is that it’s just so hard to break the habit. I’m so proud of you for getting through it. I’m so glad you did this. I can’t even imagine what you went through. You have my support. Again, so proud!!!💞💞
thank you a lot im a teen that has been trying to quit for so so long i thought i was alone because everyone i know was smoking around me even my family i havent been able to understand all the things that has been happening to me seeing you quit and see how much passion you have for putting in to it helps me a lot in ways i dont understand of know how to put it out in worlds
undate 3 months later im still clean yall!!!
I’ve never done nic or any drugs or ever dealt with addiction. Im so proud of you. I know this isn’t the same but I’ve lost around 50lbs and it’s not easy to do it takes a strong dedicated mindset to do. i did it for the better and to help myself. as tho i don’t smoke or vape a lot of my friends do. i just never really wanted to and never hope to. but imma kindly send this video to them and say here it’s up to you not gonna judge if you don’t stop vaping but you are more then powerful then a vape to stop. this is such a beautiful message and so proud of all the hard work you’ve accomplished and hope it continues to do well:)
i was bawling my eyes out watching this and i’ve never even taken a hit. this is so beautiful and moving.
This was an amazing documentary. So well made. Addiction is extremely difficult, whether it be behavioral or substance addictions. Anyone and everyone can be addicted to things and people need to stop looking down on those who are deemed "addicts". Most of the time, people become addicted to things to cope with something they are missing. I'm personally addicted to my phone, picking at my skin, random sugar/snack binges, my medication, and even addictions to other people can be a thing. When the thing you're constantly doing is damaging you and those around you but you cannot stop. I am going to keep trying, no matter how much it takes.
You edited it so wonderfully that it captivated everyone until the very end. You had such a wonderful meaningful story to share and we were literally addicted to your video from the beginning till the very end!! i love the little flashbacks u would do, and the way you cued the music and the song choices and everything literally CHEFS KISS
As someone struggling with a nicotine addiction right now, thank you for raising awareness and making this. We can do it

Watching my parents smoke their whole lives and seeing how much it affects them has always saddened me,an addiction is not a choice it’s an illness. Get help if you need it and free yourself you got this ❤️
I have a really hard time watching “long” videos and documentary’s but this one was so great to see her really put herself out there and show us it is possible and it gave me hope and inspiration for what I should do myself
its a 12 minute video?
@@lol-bg4wh that's why they put it in quotation marks. some people have short attention span and it's hard to watch even a 12 minute video
@@shrekism then get off of Tik tok and insta….
It’s bc you have a short attention span bc of tik tok etc
@watchit just an fyi I don’t have til Tom or insta so leave I just have a really short attention span
Gawd damn proud of you. Seriously. My daughter was addicted to crack and other drugs, never nicotine, but still the same. It’s hard I know. Not for myself but for my loved ones. You are so strong. You are truly a champion. Nicotine is a hard drug to kick. ❤❤❤❤
I’ve been nicotine free for three years now after smoking for a little over 20 years. You said something very important at around 3:22, that I was about to comment, which was stay busy. Do things you enjoy doing, and simply don’t think about it. Stay away from people who vape or smoke. You got this 😁
I love how this video not only portrays the naked truth of addiction, but also serves as a wake up call to those who are still on time to quit without having to go through such a painful and challenging process. Great job!
Thank you Alicia
This is what our generations need!
People that really think about health! Thank you for your hard work!
Damn… the “just don’t start” that all my family members say is really true!
