In today's episode, I cover a topic that is foundational to creating change in our lives. In order to change our behaviors (quit vaping) and results (remove adddictions) in life, we have to change our thinking. A really good way to know WHAT we need to think, feel, and do with our lives, comes from creating a better vision of the future and working our way backwards. This is the work of my life... and if you want your life to be better than average, you should make it the work of your life, too. I will only be doing 2 more episdoes of this podcast. However, you can keep in touch and get access to everything else I am working on here: https://linktr.ee/andrewcipriano

So many people vape without having any understanding about what nicotine is and/or how it affects their brains. In today's episode, I am going to get nitty and gritty with nicotine and how it is negatively affecting your drive, desire, pleasure, and motivation. After the nicotine basics, I am going to give you a very comprehensive idea of what the nicotine withdrawal timeline will look like because arming yourself with knowledge is how you get your mind on board with quitting, the most important part.

Our society does two things that get us into a lot of troubleIt teaches us that we should be happy all the time.It concentrates things that release dopamine and sills our environments with them. When we abuse our dopamine system, the mechanism designed to motivate us, it throws us completely out of wack and ends up creating a lot more harm than good. Taking a dopamine detox isn't just about stopping the quick hits, it's about understanding why it is beneficial to not constantly consume artificial dopamie hits in the first place.This episode is an absolute banger... enjoy!*There will ONLY be 4 episodes left of this podcast made. If you have learned a ton but are still vaping, the only reason would be that you have not yet mastered applying this work. That is exactly what my program will help you do. You can get it here.

The thesis of what I teach when it comes to quitting vaping is to learn the skill of managing the thoughts in your head. In addition, I teach people how to regulate their emotions without substances like nicotine. Why do I teach this?Because your thoughts create your emotions which drive your actions. That means if your vaping, it's because of emotions in your body caused by thoughts in your head. This is the permanent solution that works for everyone willing enough to learn it.

In today's episode, you will get part 1 of 2 of my mental health series on vaping. There are a lot of misconseptions and opinions in the clinical mental health world. I personally have been bombarded with misinformation throughout my time getting a 4-year degree ni psychology, working in a psychiatric hopsital, and dealing with my own clinical depression. Today, I am here to give you my opinion about how vaping is related to your mental health and also some other basic mental health education that I believe ALL ADULTS SHOULD LEARN.

Halloween and fall are symbolic of death and decay so that rebirth can occur in the spring. I don't normally get too woo-woo or spritual on this podcast, but I do believe that quitting vaping is a symbolic act that demonstrates a willingness to sacrifice what is no longer serving us in honor of becoming the best versions of ourselves. The thing that you need most is in the place you're least willing to look. That means the emotions we avoid with nicotine are exactly the ones we have to learn to courageously face in order to get what we want in life. If you're ready to face the emotions with self-compassion and grace, you can learn to do so HERE.

So many people make quitting a dreadful process by setting and anxiously vaping right up until it comes. That is completly unnecessary and frankly, a really unpleasant and unloving way to quit. The way that I teach people to quit vaping is by learning how to be completely present with themselves and the whole range of their emotions. Thought and emotional work is a process that takes time. And that's okay.Once you understand that you have full control over the thoughts in your mind and the way you resond to your emotions, you no longer need to rush to the end goal and can enjoy the whole process of quitting. The best way to quit for good is to learn the tools now, and then quit naturally when you feel you've gotten them down. If you're ready to do exactly that, you can get more info HERE

So many people set goals because they think that the accomplishment of those goals is will brings them good-feeling emotions. Here's the thing, you results don't create your emotions... Your thoughts do! That means if you wait to feel good until you achieve a difficult goal, the chances are high that you will NEVER make it. The real accomplishent is learning to enjoy the process on the way to the goal. If you feel like you have been rushing into quitting or in a hurry to be a non-vaper, I recommend that you ask yourself why you think you need to rush... more specifically what emotions you think quitting will bring you, then help yourself to practice feeling those emotions now. If you shame yourself into quitting, you will find that even after you quit, you've gotten really good at feeling shame and you will find ways to expereince it as a non-vaper as well. It's how your emotions work. The good news... it worked the EXACT same with positive emotions like self-love and respect. Check out my spooky Halloween apartment HEREReady to check out the program?

One of the main reasons why we use substances like nicotine, food, alcohol, and abuse medications is because they allow us to tolerate lives that we are deeply unhappy with. When we quit, we are choosing to experience the whole truth of our livess. Although this can be an unconfortable experience, it is a transformative experience that allows us to understand and change what is no longer serving us. Although addictions create a sense of false happiness in our lives, they ironically make our lives much more UNhappy overally. That is the paradox of addiction.If you want to break this cycle and create a life that you don't need to get away from, you can check out my other resources here.

I start off today's episode with a little into about where I am going with my business and quit vaping program. Then I segue into teaching you why quitting has been so hard for you in the past. A lot of people try to modify beavior before learning about WHY they are acting out the behavior in the first place. If you want to make quitting permanent, the best way is to zoom out so that you can find the root problem creating the behavior. Once you get to the root of any problem, you can eliminate it all together instead of trating symptoms. If you want to check out my other resources, you can do so here!

In today's episode, I tell you exactly why I help people quit vaping by showing you the actual negative effects it has on your life. I sincerely don't believe that you can live the best version of your life when you're addicted to a substance that consumes so much physical and mental energy. If you want to see my other resources, you an find them here.

You cannot modify behavior for the long-run with guilt and shame. In fact, the best ay to do things that improve our lives in the long run is to do it from a place of deep self love.

Yo Yo vaping is when you're in a never-ending loop of quitting and starting up again. Most people (that don't use my tools) have this kind of relationship with nicotine.

One of the least effective and most common ways that people try to change their behavior is by shaming themselves and/or using negative reinforcement. Shame is not an effective tool to improve your life. In fact, shame often leads directly to MORE of the behavior we are trying to change.

I used to talk about urges, but I think that a more appropriote word when it comes to vaping is cravings. Cravings/Urges/Emotions are just vibrations in your body caused by your thoughts. The beautiful thing about them is that you can learn how to deal with them so that they don't have any control over you.

There is a difference between learning and applying information. The podcast will help you learn.The course will teach you how to apply so you can actaully quit for good.

So many of our beliefs have been passed down to us by people who are remarkably uninformed. Question everything you know to be true about vaping and you will be in a much better place to quit for good. The resons why we have any result in our loves is because of a belief, or a whole bunch of beliefs that are causing it. Question things like:-You earning potential-Why you ise substances-What you beleive is possible for your career-What you believe about your country and social normsIt will serve you greatly to do this work.If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge tthe quit for good course here!

Here are my fundamentals for helping you understand your attatchment to nicotine and how to get you unattached for good. If you want to quit vaping the right way, the way that acutally lasts and helps you to understand why it worked, you want to learn a skill called metacognition, AKA: watching your own brain think. It is a skill completely unique to human beings and it is what gives us the ability to produce such amazing things in this world. Ready to Quit for Good? Learn how to apply what you've learned here!

It sounds counter-intuitive but the skill that allows you to beat cravings is actually learning how to be with them until they proccess through your body. Learning to sit with your cravings/urges is a skill that will allow you to overcome them so you can quit vaping. It is the exact same skillset that will allow you to create the life you want post-quitting. This of a craving as an energy in your body that has to dissipate by vibrating through you. When you numb over it or distract yourself from it, it never has a change to vibrate away. Give yourself space to just be with your cravings and you will be able to stop fighting them with the never ending game of willpower.

This is one of the biggest mistakes I made that made quitting take 6+ years. Hopefully it helps you avoid the same suffering. In order to quit vaping for good, you have to change the beleifs and thoughts you have about yourself. That means that you will have to startt to think and believe things that someone who doesn't vape thinks and believes. Remember that your thoughts create your desire to vape. In order to remove desire, you have to learn how to change your thoughts. It is simple but not necessarily easy.

There is no point in quitting if you have to shame or guilt yourself into it because, when you practice beating up on yourself, that's what you get really good at. The best way to quit is by doing it from a place of deeply loving yourself first. I call it: The Best of Both Worlds Experience... thanks, Hannah Montana.

There are a whole bunch of methods for quitting out there but they are NOT born equal. I cure. I don't treat symptoms. When you treat symptoms, you are never truly a quitter. The key to becoming a true non-vaper is to get to the root problem of the addiciton (thought and emotions) so that you can quit in both your mind and your body. If you want to remove your desire to vape completely, this is the only way to do it.If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

Has anyone ever told you that you get to believe whatever you want? If not, that's tragic! What you decide to believe directly impacts the life that you live (a lot more than you may think it does).This isn't just wishful thinking, it's the most powerful skill set you can learn. I recommend that you choose your beliefs wisely. Your thoughts drive the actions you take. If you really think about it... it kind of just makes sense.That means if you're vaping, it's because you are thinking that it serves you and probably that your life is better with it. Have you ever questioned that thinking? If not, today's episdoe should help you with that. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

When you get really honest about it, there is actually no need for nicotine. The desire you have for it has actually been learned. That means the only reason you desire to use nicotine is because of belief systems that have been taught to you about nicotine. If you can learn how to challenge youe currrent thinking, you can actually remove your desire to vape completely. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

So many of us focus on the things that we are giving up in order to quit vaping. This leaves us deprived and bitter about quitting (not good!). In order to quit for good, you are going to have to shift your focus to everything that you are getting from a life free of addiction. And, I promise you'll be gaining SO MUCH MORE than you're giving up. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

I don't do this podcast to get people away from nicotine... I do it to bring people closer to who they know they are capable of becoming. The work I do with helping people quit vaping is so meaninguful and important to me. However, it's not really about quitting vaping. I use vaping as a window into learning the skillset of managing your thoughts and emotions. Quitting vaping is an excellent starting point for this material. But, as you learn how to think and beleif things deliberately in life, and feel your emotions, you realize that your life could be so much bigger than you once may have imagined. That is when these toold get really fun. Although this is the quit vaping podcast, to me, it's really the "Welcome to The Biggest Version of Your Life Podcast!" and I want everyone who listens to expand what the believe is possible for them.

Do you find that you have trouble staying away from nicotine when alcohol gets involved? This episode should help. The reason why it is so much more difficult to not vape when you drink is because alcohol inhibits your power to regulate your emotions and cravings. It makes total sense that drinking is a vulerable place for quitters to relapse. If you ever mess up and vape when you said you weren't going to, the best thing you can do is to look at the situation and what occured from a place of genuine curiousity, not judgement. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

One of the most important thing that comes from learning the emotional work that I teach is that it is incredibly empowering. When you can sit down with any emotion without resisting it, numbing it, or reacting to it (acting it out), you become the kind of person who takes full control over their life experince. Addiction, by its very nature is an emotional problem. The best version of yourself is the one who is willing to feel any emotion. Addicion and your best self cannot co-exist.

In today's episode, you will learn what NOT to do. My dad has been a smoker for over 40 years and a quitter for about 39 of them. He has quit smoking a lot over the last 20 years and he always does it by using the willpower method. Quitting smoking/vaping with the willpower method means that you wre fighting with beliefs in your head that create desire to use nicotine, while also pushing up against the craving and emotions that need to be processed in order for them to actually go away. It is an exhausting method that is very ineffctive and almost always temporary. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

Today's episode will get you to the truth about your relationship with nicotine. Sometimes we say we want something but we aren't actually willing enough to put ourselves in the discomfort required for growth. It's good to pause and take an honest and compassionate look about what we say we want vs. what we are actually willing to do to get there. I will also tell you about how my dad quit after 40 years of a (2 pack a day) cigarette addiction and how he did it in a temporary way that will cause him a lot of unnecessary suffering.

In today's episode, you will learn the most important concept I've learned throughout my studies in mental health. It has saved me from SO much suffering and will do the same for you.Life is supposed to be 50/50. That means that half the time, life feels great and the other half the time, it feels uncomfortable. When you truly understand this concept, you stop trying to "fix" negative emotion. Iroincally, when you no longer resist negative emotions in your life, your life becomes a lot more positive. That is the paradox of negative emotion. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

In today's episode, you learn about the nicotine desire trap that keeps you from living the life you want to live. Understand this episode. It will change your whole life. Nicotine messes up our dopamine (happiness) responses in our brains. That means it becomes very difficult to know what we really want in our lives and vaping allows us to tolerate lives we're not happy with because of the stead stream of artifically high dopamine rushes it causes.

When I was vaping, I was at constant war with myself. I knew that it was getting in the way of the life I wanted but I just couldn't bring myself to quit for good. In today's episode, you will hear about one of my most pathetic moments with my addiction. I hope it helps you see how vaping is blocking you from becoming your ideal self. There were many times over my 9 year battle with nicotine addiciton where my ack of control made me feel powerless, weak, and shameful. Looking back, I actually understand why it was so hard for me to quit permanently. I had tried on so many occassions to beat myself into a life free of nicotine. At the time, I never realized that learning to love myself as a vaper was truly the first step to true nicotine liberattion.

It only takes one big thought shift to make you a permanent non-vaper. (this is called a breakthrough in the self-help/life coaching world).Today, I will tell you the story of when I had my (one of many) big aha that led me to eventually putting down my last vape for good. It really only takes one or two big thought shifts to entirely transform the way we see nicotine in our current lives and futures.

Quitting vaping is easy when you do it right. A lot of us aren't. I created a framework to help people understand how their addcition works so they can finally quit vaping for good. My solution works so well, that it actually helps you remove your desire completely to vape by changing the way you respond to your emotions and by changing your perception of nicotine in your life. Enjoy today's episode. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good program here!

In this episode, I talk about the most important thing I teach in my career in life coaching: numbing emotion. If you want to live the life you're dreaming about, you need to learn this. When we numb our emotions, we use external things to change how we feel internally. This could include things like nicotine, food, porn, alcohol, shopping, drugs, and sometimes even medication. Understanding this concept is vital when it comes to living a life free of nicotine because everything we do and don't do in our lives is fuelled by how we respond to our emotions. Numbing typically causes negative results in our lives like unwanted weight gain and addiction. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

When it comes to quitting, willpower is NOT a good method for success. Most people resist their cravings using willpower but thi is almost always a temporary and uncomfortable solution. The real solution to managing withdrawl cravings is to learn how to allow them without resistence. This is a practice that will serve you greatly. When you no longer need to avoid or resist withdrawl cravings, you can let them process and pass through your body. This typically happens in less than just 60 secronds when practiced regularly. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

A lot of people say that vaping helps them concentrate. The nature of addiction is to focus your mind on the external thing that you are addicted to. That means when you don't have that substance or external thing, it becomes almost impossible to focus on anything else. If you believe that vaping and nicotine addiction help you to concentrate and focus, it is because using the substance you're addicted to relieves you enough to not think about it until the cravings quickly return. Addiction does not help you concentrate. It does the complete opposite. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

The addictive personality myth is a psychological theory based on the idea that a lot of people are addicted to more than one thing and that some people have a proclivity to be addicted to things more than others.The evidence for the addictive personality theory is not strong. And, once you understand the emotional basis of addiction, it becomes clear that this theory doesn't really hold any water. The reaosn why so many people get addicted to more than one thing is because addiction, at its core, is an emotional problem. It is not a personality issue, it is an emotional avoidance issue. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

This is the 3rd (and most common) myth that keeps people vaping. Drug addiction creates anxiety. Using the drug relieves ONLY the anxiety it creates. You wouldn't defend someone who stole something and only gave a fraction of it back. But when you argue for the nicotine anxiety myth, you do exactly that. Drug addiction increases anxiety. That is actually the main characteristic of any addiction: increased anxiety when you don't have the drug. The belief that vaping actually helps reduce anxiety is true to the extent that is solve for the anxiety it has created. In terms of non drug addiction related anxiety, vaping only temporarily distracts your from it without actually solving for or processing it.

This is part 2 of debunking the myths that keep people vaping. A lot of people are told that quitting nicotine addiciton is very difficult. When it comes down to it, quitting can actually be quit easy if you learn how to manage your emotions without nicotine and change your beleifs surrounding vaping. It isn't my business to tell you not to vape. But, it is my business to help you find your own Truth. It does not serve you to think that quitting is hard. With an open mind, you ca surley find evidence against that thought.If you've learned a lot and you're ready to apply what I teach in this show, you can ge the quit for good course here!

This is part 1 of debunking the myths that keep people vaping. Remember that your desire to vape is a result of believing things about vaping that create a false desire to use it. In order to quit for good, you are going to have to look at the thoughts that make you want to vape and question them with curiousity and love for yourself. Judgement and a closed-mind will never lead to behavior change. You can only ever do this work from a place of genuine curiousity. It isn't my business to tell you not to vape.
