The Quit Vaping Podcast

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 trouble

1. It teaches us that we should be happy all the time.
2. 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. If you want to check out my course or my other resources and trainings, you can find them here: https://linktr.ee/andrewcipriano

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. I take this shit seriously... so sriously that I have devoted my life to learning an teaching it properly.

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.

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.
