Very true. What's really getting crazy, is when our craving gets sooooo bad that the voice just says the hell with it, I don't care if these damn things kill me, but I just have to have one. The best thing I have ever heard Chris say is, "You can't reason with the addictive parts of the brain." This is where the problem is.
My wife smokes.. I know the feeling... but I usually smoke more.. and I know she won't stop until I have... when I have gone a few days I noticed she smokes a lot less.. So i am going on day 3.. just hitting a 0mg nicotine free vape... hitting it hard... it helps to bluff the lungs... and take the edge off the habit... Still feel the nicotine withdrawal symptons, but they not as bad as when I just cold turkey...
Hey Chris,needed this video today as I am thinking about that one cigarette. I have found out at 3days in, that I don't really want to smoke as bad as I thought. I rationalize that it's not really as great as I made it out. Breathing the fresh air is doing the trick so far. Thanks so much for your courage to make these very interesting videos. You are blessed, remember that 🙏.
Watched your video's years ago, but I wasn't ready yet. Now I'm stopped 11 days after 20 years of 35 cigs/day. This particular video is actually really good and stands out in the 'series'. Compliments and a big thank you!
@@youcannot9471 I remained clean for 7,5 months. Then I got work related stress and now I am smoking at full level again, but hating it. I know it's wrong, but when stress is gone (max. a couple of weeks) I'll quit. Thanks.
Hey brother, I am so unbelievably depressed…I have everything I could ever dream of…but am so trapped inside my head. This spirit world you must admit exists is overwhelming me because no one will explain to me what’s actually happening…I became allergic to marijuana 4 years ago and when I stopped smoking I realised I was so much better off without it, but last week I got some and felt the insane power of addiction coke full force back into me, so I gave it away as soon as I could…I’m always borrowing money for cigarettes and not having any money for anything else, I just want to know or maybe even help you decide that your doing better without smoking…I want change so bad, I’m losing my mind. You helped me go for a month last year without smoking and I was feeling really good. I don’t know I just needed to let that out. Keep saving lives Chris.
When I quit before, I had a craving so I tried smoking a friend's cigarette. I was unsuccessful because it tasted and felt awful! It definitely didn't start my smoking again, but it may have, and that's a chance I shouldn't have taken. I started again months later, but it was from a different instance of stupidity.
WOW 😮❗️I’m actually on page 151 on Allen Carrs easy way to stop Smoking 🎉. I Just took a break from reading and your video came up 😱❗️ The worlds are speaking to me right now. God is amazing. So I’m about to read Chapter 24 (Just one cigarette). I know that I need to quit. Thank you and God Bless, Carlos from Paso Robles, California Blessings ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Good luck! I'm from Santa Maria and trying to quit as well 😂 I'm trying Chantix it helps so much, I've cut way back but still smoking. I'm gonna keep trying, though, until I quit.
Making so much sense yet again. What will happen, pro and con, If I have that cigarette? Benefits of not having that cigarette. Postponing. I found the deep breath and pause so helpful. PS that ping wasn't your phone. It was another brilliant light bulb moment 😀
There is no such thing as one cigarette. One pack maybe😂 This is really hard guys. If we could have only one cigarette then we wouldn’t have to quit smoking. I had a friend who could buy a pack of cigarettes, smoke three at a party and then forget about the pack, it would be still there months later. She smoked but never became a smoker! I was not like that! I needed cigarettes like oxygen! I loved it and wanted it all day, if I smoke I will smoke again full on! Only to have to quit again!
It seems to be the case for a lot of people, it certainly is for me what you just said. The worse part is knowing with that first cigarette you go back to 0, keep up the effort i know i will.
Lollipops, chantix, podcast, walking, moving into a different room. I cut a straw into size of a cigarette hold it in my hand breath fresh air through it. Just some ideas
I'm 8 days in. It's horrible. Smoked like 45 years. Taking little hits of weed from my pipe. during the day. Isolated. No smokers around. It's horrible.

That's what makes smoking addiction so insidious, it gets inside your head. Weasel it's way in and influence thoughts/actions.
My husband smokes. Ugghh. Makes it so hard for me to quit. I'm 3 days in. Going for 4! Love your videos, Chris! 👍💖

@@SirCarlosMusicBMI maybe the Holy Spirit is trying to speak to you 🙏
@ Thank you 🙏
Back again.
This is a great video to rewatch when relapsing or tempted to relapse. I'm at war with tobacco again but I'm going to win.
Chris , youve been a blessing to so many of us in our journey, thank you..
Thanks chris i cant thank you enough for your hard work breaking down and explaining alan carrs work.
There is no one..they come in packs!
Yes but we don't smoke a whole pack at the same time..hopefully! :-D

A lightbulb moment after I struggled to get my words out and finally nailed it? :D Glad you found the video useful Nevie!

Your positivity is healing Chris

It seems to be the case for a lot of people, it certainly is for me what you just said. The worse part is knowing with that first cigarette you go back to 0, keep up the effort i know i will.
Rooting for you Sharon, 100% faith in you that you can do this!
I’ve only just started on my path to freedom 15 days but your videos are pretty good 👍 keep up the great work thank you 🙏
hello, quite smoking immediately or slowly? what's the better option?
Lollipops, chantix, podcast, walking, moving into a different room. I cut a straw into size of a cigarette hold it in my hand breath fresh air through it. Just some ideas

I'm praying that your feeling better! 8 days is amazing! ❤
