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.

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.

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'...

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...

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.

In order to remove desire, you have to learn how to change your thoughts. It is simple but not n...

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, yo...

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 ...

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!).

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, ...

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 ge...

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. If you've ...

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...

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...

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 pos...

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. If you've learned a lot and you're ready to ap...

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.

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).

It really only takes one or two big thought shifts to entirely transform the way we see nicotine in our current lives and futures.

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 ...
