I was lucky enough to catch a video message from Joel along with some resources about some of the topics that I brought up. If you're interested in those, visit: joelspitzer.wordpress.com/response-to-jared/
I’m glad you find them helpful. Stay tough, and know that it will get easier. That’s really great that you keep trying. I’ve quit so many times before I could get to the point I am now. You can absolutely do this :)
I started smoking the week I turned 18 because of some passive aggressive exchange with an ex, of all things. I quit about a year ago now partly because of COVID (334 days), after three years of smoking. I'm thankful a little more every day that that nightmare of wasted time and money and health is behind me now. Just wanted to drop by and say that Allen Carr and watching your videos everyday along with the first weeks of my quit were what kept me strong (haha well, that and a hell of a lot of lollipops). Really appreciate what you've done man, you've helped a lot of people. Glad to see you've been doing well.
After 27 years smoking .. now am 6 month smoke free .. u have been my company in the quitting journey .. thank u so much .. ur videos and some well made me fight that bad habbit so far
welcome back bro. i was looking for this update for a long time :) this is my last semester in college and ill start my quitting journey after i graduate :)
I also quit over three years ago. 11/27/17. Congratulations to you. Also, after 5 to 10 years, your health risks of heart disease and lung cancer are near a person whom never smoked. Keep making these videos as you are a great example/inspiration to follow for those just quitting or thinking about quitting. Cheers!
Congratulations man!!! You are an inspiration. I watch your videos often as I quit often and fail. Today is my birthday so I used that as an excuse to throw away a 3 week quit, stupid I know. Anyways keep up the good work and keep posting updates if you don't mind. It definitely helps me out a lot.
That's super exciting :) I hope it's going well for you! You are making one of the best decisions possible. Try to stay dedicated and patient, and know that being a non-smoker will eventually feel completely normal. You can do this :)
What an inspiration you are! I am about to start another quit, because like you I have relapsed a few times. After a relapse it takes a long time to get back into the quitting mindset so congratulations to you on your 3 year success. You smashed it. Always be on your guard man. Thanks for your he videos, you have inspired me.
I’m on day 7 of withdrawals now after smoking about 3/4 packs a day after relapsing from vapes in high school (when quitting was way easier). Due to the nature of a certain shroom trip I had about 2 weeks before quitting this time (which is the reason why I’m quitting), I’ve started despising cigarettes in general. So for the most part yes, cravings lasted the first 2 days like hell but for me but, the physical effects are what’s killing me. It started with 0-2 hours of sleep per day up until now to awful weakness in my body throughout the day and that god awful headache that I can’t shrug off. My vision is getting worse by the day which I’m attributing to sleep deprivation. I know it may feel like hell on earth people, especially if you’re a college student like me and if you’re going through withdrawals during a challenging semester in a new college. But realistically, try quitting during a break, around people you trust and don’t push you around too much. If you’re having a more physically-breaking withdrawal like me, I highly, and I mean highly recommend vitamin vapes. There are numerous brands you can find especially on Amazon, but I personally prefer the Vita pens. Good luck everyone
Thanks so much for updating your videos. I have found them really honest, positive and inspiring and I have used them as milestones. Thank you for your help and please carry on. With very best wishes.
I quit Smoking in Januar for 22 days, relapsed and have been now smokefree for 14 days. Both times i saw your videos. The way you were thinking and speaking in both of your quits helped me a lot and i thank you. I hope i keep the quit now. You seem to be a nice guy and i wish you the best in live. Greetings from Berlin.
Thanks for your kind words! Congrats on making those 22 days and trying again so soon :) The biggest thing to keep in mind is that it will get easier if you can keep your quit going. 14 days is amazing. Just take it one day at a time. You can absolutely do this, and future you will be so thankful that you took care of this when you did :)
@@HealthWink thank you for your reply. It ment a lot to me after having said in my mind "Thank you dude" for all the help i am getting from you , that i saw now you have seen it also written from me. Even if we never meet in life you became part of this important step in my life. I am greatfull.
Man, I did quit for 1,5 years but got back to it by doing 1 ciggie in the break at work. Then again did quit for 3 or 4 months but got back when I had a boring stressfull Officejob. Now I am quitting again (day 3) but I understand that I don't need to do an officejob anymore. It gets me back with bad habits, lol.
You can absolutely do this! Stay strong. The thoughts will get less frequent and less powerful. You’ve done such great work getting to this point. Don’t let the habit sneak up on you. Stay vigilant, and stay free :)
i quit in 2016 and relapsed in July 2020 for a day. After 4 years without a single puff i relapsed and smoked 7 or 8 cigarettes. Man i felt like someone is kicking me in the throat after years of not smoking. The thing is that i immediately regrouped and tried again and now i am smoke free for 8 months. Cigarettes are crazy mannn :D
thanks for the update! I am 3 years cigarette free and 1 year vape free. I can relate to what you are saying. Not out of the woods and I still feel secure that I'll never do that again. Keep us updated. You're a good inspiration!
Go you!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I quit for 17 months (had a baby and quit the second I found out I was pregnant) stayed quit and then thought I could have one (obviously stressed the do out like everyone else in the world lol) then fell back into a pattern. Gotta try again fml
Thanks Angela! Congrats on the baby! Falling back into the pattern happens. I've done it plenty myself. I know you can do it :) So glad to hear from you! I hope everything else in your life is going well!
Day 22 for me no smoke but feel awful I can’t stop sleeping all I do is sleep tired and my brain loses words I try to speak but my brain tells me remain silent. And I lose my thoughts concentration 😞
You say it gets easier I'd say around 4 years into quitting pot I never ever had a thought about going back maybe 2 years in and 3 occassions 3 years in. But now I'm 6 years off it I've been offered pot, and I honestly told them no I use to do it. Now for tobacco I've been off 3 months just about, and I'd say if taken my personal experience was like with weed you begin to think less about it 2 months in then around 4 months in you should barely think about it I think for weed I went 2 years without a thought about it. Then my doctor said he was going to prescribe me it. I said no I've been off for I think at that time like 3 years. So yeah 6 years into quitting pot, I have no urge and I dont even think hey I can do that because I realize it's a waste of money, and it changes my personality. I've quit a lot of stuff over the years that's why tobacco is getting easier for me.
You may find that your experience is just like when you quit pot. Don’t get discouraged if it happens a little differently. Every quit is different, and I imagine things can vary with different substances. You are ahead of the curve understanding that given enough time, you won’t even think about it anymore. Stay strong. It’s awesome that you’re taking such good control of your use of substances :)
Congratulations! That’s amazing :) And thank you. Yes, I’m still going strong. I’ve been meaning to record an update video, but I’ve just been preoccupied with life. I’m really so happy for you. I know at this point it’s probably easier now than it’s ever been, but it’s still important to stay vigilant. You always want your resolve strong in case something triggers thoughts of the old habit.
