There are so many unhelpful videos about quitting in the Internet that it crowds out excellent channels like yours. I hope you are able to reach even more people and help them quit and enjoy the well-deserved success of the work that you do.
I quit smoking very very easily. I kept saying an affirmation hundreds of times (each time as below) for a couple of days. Soon I found not smoking became my habit. In the first place it was your willingness to smoke, so there was no resistance. Similarly there can not be any resistance to quit smoking. Smoking is a habit, similarly not smoking is a habit too. Now one has to choose which habit to have especially for one's wellness. Affirmation (in all caps) 👇 I LOVE MYSELF MORE THAN I LOVE SMOKING (later one may add more & more instead of once if required). People who have self love issues then one may affirm I LOVE MY HEALTH MORE THAN I LOVE SMOKING. Good or better health is always appreciated by one and all. Remember, it's all in the mind...!
@@Olgaspierogies during my quiting I used the mantra smoking can only temp me not force me it's not more powerful than me I am more powerful than it I've now been smoking free for 18 years ...
I failed after 66 days of no smoke, I still went back to it after mingling with a friend that smokes which I tasted it and since then I’ve not been able to quit. I now have this panic mind that makes it difficult to quit and also am a loner, which makes it hard for a loner to quit . Pray for us that are genuinely tired of smoking 😭😭. I am ready to start again.
I'm a loner...has no bearing on quitting...CHOSE TO NOT ALLOW CIGS TO KILL US...AND NOT TO CONTROL US! I PAUD 550.00 THROUGH HYPNOSIS TO QUIT....IM WORTH IT...YOUR WORTH IT. EVERY TIME THE URGE GETS BAD...I SNAP A RUBBER BAND ON MY WRIST...DRINK Water....go for a walk.... Thousands of toxic poisons in each cigarette 🚬 🚭 Stop now.....then buy yourself a big reward.....I'm getting a new car.....see your goals....whatever they are
I think it's great you managed 66 days. We just have to pick up again, it's ok 👍 How are you doing now? I'm trying to be less of a loner. It's definitely harder to stop smoking when you spend so much time on your own. I actually have only stopped for 3 days and found the Time to do so many things which I apparently don't have time for ever, when I smoke. Wishing you all the best!
I know what you mean I'm a loner aswel as yes it's difficult because smoking becomes a friend a smoke screen to hide behind especially if you're not confident with yourself ..
I'm 2 months in without smoke, been quite the ride, I still like the smell of cigarette smoke when I go past a smoker on the street but I know I am better off without it. I guess it's one of those things now. I'd say I am quite committed to staying quit. The opportunity to buy cigarettes or ask off someone has been everywhere, more than you realize while smoking. This can be seen only when you quit. All the best to you all who are on the path to quitting. Stay strong
I'm 60 years old and no one has ever explained it to me like this. Yes, I was a rebellious teenager when I started at 16. I've saved this to a private playlist to watch again and again. Thank you so much! xo
Hi Kimberley, I am glad this video helped you, you're welcome!! I absolutely recommend watching this interview as well: th-cam.com/video/Ud8yBJYQ9nc/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared It will help you a lot especially since it's from the perspective of someone who smoked for over 40 years.
TH-cam keeps putting your videos on my feed when my soul finally gets the confidence to tackle my mental addiction to smoking. Fear, guilt, shame and not being able to sit alone with my thoughts are all linked directly into why I smoke! Thank you for continuing this amazing work!!!
Thanks a million! Decided to quit smoking, but also willing to start quitting smoking along with my teen aged son addicted to video games. Any tips on quitting my son's addiction? Shall we try the same method with him?Any advice on that? It's a impairing his study. Looking forward to hearing from you
Smoking , worrying , negative thinking . I'm aware that these are not conducive to being at peace , but I'm trying to break these unhealthy behavioural patterns. Thanks for your videos , I am certain they will help me break my 50 year smoking addiction.
I am currently going into my 3rd day without smoking. It has indeed been quite difficult. i initially quit because I could not afford to get any cigarettes, but after deciding to. I truly felt it was something i've been wanting to for years. I had been reading a lot of articles about how to quit, and they all share one thing in common: "avoid triggers" this can be quite difficult for heavy smokers (especially those who chain smoke) basically everything is a trigger for me, waking up , want to smoke, get something to it. want to smoke, driving, socializing, i'm bored you name it. that will be the true challenge is making it so that i no longer think of smoking when doing these things.
This willpower method your using is allll wrong . Allen Carrs book easy way to quit smoking says we are all brainwashed to believe its hard and to avoid triggers ? Noo. No. You dont need any of this. Try his book. Youll see what i mean.
Exactly. Avoiding all triggers is impossible. Life has become smoke, smoke has become life. You just have to face life again without it. Disengage it from life, mentally, and gradually exercise you will and resilience back to normal again.
Fortunately, I can't enjoy my morning cigarette without coffee, so right now I am still enjoying coffee without smoke. This video is awesome. THANK you SO MUCH!
Ok you gave me a great idea, when I come from work I have a cig from a long stressful day, work in a high school. I’m going to try having a small cup of coffee in stead 🙏🏼 keep up the good work for great health 💕
I dont even want to smoke. I give up again and again, sometimes it lasts for a while, but i always start again!😢 I just thought about why do i keep smoking...then just after this thought, i opened youtube and this was the first video that i saw! Thankyou for this helpful video ❤ you are like an Angel of Temperance ❤
I have been watching your videos non stop to help me. I'm 5 days and 18 hours into no nicotine from vaping. I smoked for 15 yrs then moved to vaping which did help health wise for some things. Then addicted to vaping for 8 yrs. I'm determined to finally beat this nicotine addiction. But dam it's not easy at all for me.
@@janicereed1096 Hello, since that comment I've still not had any vaps. Not one puff. Oh it's a fight but can be done for sure. It's funny actually reading that comment now cause I remember that struggle. Anyone can beat it.
I have mistakenly included cigarettes, in my life, as my closest and most trusted companion and helper. A silent friend that never judges and always comforts or rewards. Of course, the opposite is true. That idea is as illusive as chasing rainbows. I need a divorce from nicotine.
I’m watching these videos over and over again… I’m trying so hard to change my smoking habits. Went from 20 cigarettes a day to 12 cigarettes to 6 cigarettes. Need to stop smoking. This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do. I smoke unconsciously, difficult to break something that I do unconsciously, it’s so automatic. I want to live a longer life. My mom has asthma, emphysema, COPD. She is only 60 years old and she is bedridden. I don’t want to end up like her. I know I will if I don’t stop soon. I already wheeze, and cough up mucus, difficult to breathe at times. I want a life free of nicotine. More than anything. Wish I never started smoking, worst decision I’ve ever made! I wish I could be locked in a room for a week, just to get past the withdrawals.
This was the first video that I saw regarding the CBQ Method that really intrigued me and my curiosity. I went on a mission to find more information. Fast forward 10 1/2 months to today: I’ve been free for 10 months! It has been an incredible journey. Something I never thought I could do, but surprised to do it so easily. Nasia Davos, your commitment for developing this program and helping others are second to none. I thank you! 💙
I can attest to the rewiring your brain part. I started to change the pattern, and in a month I went from 4 packs per day to 1/2 a pack. A little at a time. wait 5 more minutes, go for a walk, wait an hour in the morning, none two hours before bed, etc. My quit day is next week, and I think I will make it this time. I have smoked for 51 years! I can also attest to the hypnosis thing. Tried it twice, then went to school to learn self hypnosis, etc. none of it worked. neither did the patch, chantex, antidepressants, vaping, etc. I then realized that it isn't the method I needed to change, but I needed to change my mind. That appears to be working. And booze? that is the ultimate "quitter gitter". Good luck, everyone!
@@wendysutheard5132 nope. :( but I made it 10 days. the first 7 I was prepared for. Flu like symptoms, insomnia, etc...but at 7 days I thought I was clear! nope. worse! the obsessive thought of "I NEED a cigarette!" even woke me at night. After 3 days of that? I couldn't take it anymore. But now that I know that can last up to 90 days, I will shortly try again. 52 years of smoking has a lot to do with this, as I don't recall taking a real breath. I don't remember what healthy means. But I NEED to fix this! so I will try again. Keep the faith!
@@e-spy the obsession is what gets me to start smoking again. I can’t handle only thinking about a cigarette, non stop thinking about it. I’ll be thinking of something else and bam you need a cigarette out of nowhere! How to get through the obsessive thoughts, that override everything? I don’t know, I need help with this.
@@e-spyI feel ready to give up on giving up too and it has been almost 2 months for me. I don’t feel disappointed in any failed attempts I have had because even if I went a week, I am that much healthier because of it. I am a week ahead of where I would have been. Every failed attempt has only made you healthier and save money even if you didn’t quit this time or that time. I regret the times I have smoked, not the times I haven’t. Don’t think of it as a fail every time you smoke, think of it as a success every time you don’t and know that every time you don’t, you are already healthier for it.
Every time I try to quit smoking, I usually tell myself that let me just do one more. That one more becomes six to ten. And it usually seems like I am improving in numbers. It hurts my lungs because I can feel it and the guilt comes back and I have to add one more cigarette to calm it down again. I feel bad and mostly regrets why I started smoking. It has become ingrained in many things that I do. I can't walk without smoking, I can't watch a movie, read or write without them. But from the video it has really enlightened me on my smoking patterns and the commitment I have to put in. So am writing this comment to thank the creator of this masterpiece and also as a reminder to the commitment I am willing to take.
I agree with this; I visualized myself holding a cup of morning coffee and enjoying it without a cig. I envisioned driving without smoking. I saw myself breathing better and teeth getting whiter. I visualized myself less irritable and that helped me greatly. I am so happy having it off my back. It was a stress and not a reprieve for a moment. Feel FREEDOM--visualize it first to learn and experience it in your mind-- then do it.
I found your channel at just the right time. Ive been able to quit opiates but still haven't succeeded with tobacco. Thank you very much for this information, I feel more confident after watching your videos!
@@nvseerah opiates is a form of pain medication like morphine or oxycodone also called Percocet.. Vicodin or even heroin that drug addicts use on the street! If your taking a medicine like this from your Dr the responsible way your ok but when a person starts to take more then they are supposed to and using these medications to get a high feeling this is what causes drug addiction.. I am a pain patient so I take my medicine very carefully exactly like my Dr says and iv had no issues but your body does become dependent on these medicines so you must be sure that you need these medications hope that helps God bless 💙
I feel you Maddie, I’m 5 months clean from an 8 year meth addiction and since I quite meth I cranked (haha) up my vaping to elite levels. Substitution maybe? Dunno.. But quitting nicotine has actually been harder than meth. I’m so sick of being a slave to another stupid harmful drug! Jeeez!!
YES LORD MY EXACT STORY! IF I COULD JUST GET RID OF THESE DAMN CIGARETTES! I PRAY YOUR HAVING SUCCESS. IK WE DON'T KNW EACH OTHER BUT I WOULD LOVE TO KNW HOW THINGS ARE GOING FOR U. IM ABOUT TO QUIT SMOKING. IM TIRED! SO EVEN IF U DON'T REPLY GOOD LUCK TO YOU 🙏🏼
@@JesussavedmeWOW! JESUS SAVED ME! SO YOU COULD JUDGE OTHERS! YOUR A DRUG ADDICT TO THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS YOUR DOCTOR IS YOUR SUPPLIER!! BUT OH LET THEM KICK U OUTTA PAIN MNGT, I BETCHA YOU GONNA RUN TO THE STREETS!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKES ME SICK!!!

TAKE THE WHEEL! 👏👏🥇🏆🎇 CUZ IT WAS A GREAT SHOW!!🤗🥰👏
@@janicereed1096 Good luck!! I was successful for 4 months and relapsed a couple weeks ago due to a separation 💔 But im getting started again tomorrow.
very thoughtful and well-organized. I might add not hypnosis, but self-hypnosis, because unlike "being hypnotized," self-hypnosis creates a serene environment in which what is focused on stands alone, and often promotes cognitive and behavioral change.
Thank you very much for this information, it has been the most helpful of anything I've heard,, I'm on 12 days no cigarettes and it is going much easier than I expected,, smoked for 45 yrs and just had enough of it,, I am sure i will never smoke again but that doesn't mean it has to be hard to do,, your videos are exactly what i need and the mental addiction is very true,, one thing i do is i keep an empty pack of cigarettes in my pocket, but it has gum, candy,toothpicks and straws in it instead of cigarettes,, that way i get the feel of everything is the same but not the health risk,, a big part of smoking for me was seeing the cigarettes and then "needing" one, this way when I get the urge for a cigarette I grab the pack and take out a piece of gum or candy but not a cigarette and it's only partly frustrating,, it helps and I feel like I succeeded in not smoking another cigarette
@@e-spy it's been 13 months and not one cigarette, it definitely gotten easier and just recently I realized I have practically no urge for a cigarette at all, my girlfriend smokes and they are really starting to stink and annoy me so I'm pretty sure I'm completley over them,, another thing that helped me quit cold turkey was i would buy the worst tasting, most nasty smelling cigarettes i could find, the really cheap ones, and that would help me not want one plus save money, that was a big help for me quiting,,, stick with it and you will quit, some day you won't want one and you'll be kicking yourself for ever starting,, even now I tell my self I don't need one and don't want one, just like I don't want chewing tobacco or snuff, and the money, OMG THE MONEY! You got this! 😁👍
Thank you so much. The. Mindfulness tip is the most helpful for me. I've hidden from my own emotions for years, and it's time to get acquainted with them!
I'm only day 3 and amazed about all the things I do which I wouldn't find the time nor energy for when smoking. Crazy! Sure I feel some body discomfort. What is that actually, cravings I guess? I'm just breathing through them. It helps. Thanks for the video 👍
Just listened to this and signed up to the stages. Feeling confidant, and hoping it will change other bad habits to improve my life for example eating. Thank you so much
I smoked for 30 pack years and then vaped like a crazy man for 10 years. I’ve read Allen Carr’s book three times. I found this video to be the perfect mind power tool. After 40 years of inhaling nicotine, on July 1 2024 I stopped. While I was planning to use nicotine replacement as an emergency (against recommendations) I’ve only had one piece of nicotine gum per day. My brain was terrified to give up this horrible habit. But if I was so addicted to nicotine the chemical, there is no way I’m feeling this good on day 4 using one piece of gum per day. I’m already noting how much better my lungs feel, my circulation is better. The brainfog is gone after 4 days. This video summary really helped me and I intend to review it again as part of the process. Thank you
I am actually having a panic attack just thinking i need to quit ! i have tried all to stop . Nothing worked .. i am desperate to quit .. i will listen to your videos and read some comments . Thank you
Such clarity. Tried quitting at least 200 times. Smoking 50years. Hate it! Spent $$$ on programs. Nothing sustainable. Relapses due to anxiety. Please send me information on how to access program or website
Hello! You can visit our official website at cbqmethod.com, read thousanda of success stories and find info on free resources as well as our paid award-winning program :) Would love to help you!
This is exactly what I needed, finally someone who knows what they're talking about on this heavy topic, sharing so much valid knowledge firsthand. I hope you're aware of your immense help! Keep up that awesome work
I'm two weeks quit. The first week was easy. I am now getting cravings. But I tell myself no I don't smoke and go do something. That's all. You have to want to quit!!
Changing lives, one view at a time. I wish I could honestly say I’ll quit today. All I heard was the intro so far, and I need to play the rest. Maybe this will convince me since I just smoked the last one in the pack right now and don’t have any unless I buy another.
Was it just me or was it actually incredibly easy? I vaped HEAVY for 8 years (you get tons more nicotine each day with vaping compared to cigarettes), then switched to a heavy amount of nicotine pouches (zyn, on, etc) then I just stopped one night. Didn’t even feel any withdrawals, maybe some added irritability and some cravings here and there, but my baseline is angry and depressed. Honestly the loneliness I feel every moment of every day is worse than quitting any substance addiction I’ve ever had. (Benzos, alcohol, weed, adderall, caffeine, nicotine) I think other people’s brain power is just severely lacking. Adderall is probably the singlehanded most challenging to quit using. As with cold turkey, your an absolute zombie for the next 2 or 3 months trying to just drag your foot one step in front of the other to suffer through the day. Nicotine is easy to stop. But I have to remind myself I’m not a normal person, and my brain has been hardened from the start. Hope this gives someone some motivation, as there are much much harder things to stop using than cigarettes or vaping. It all comes down to your will and discipline and desire to stop
I just started and what has really helped so far is I never smoked inside my house, so I am used to sitting on the couch with coffee and not smoking. But I do enjoy sitting on the porch in the morning with coffee and smoke. I did get a box of nicotine gum to help.
Thank You; thus far; I'm hooked on your vlogs; I cut out the alcohol; but yet my sidekick El Cigarette is wreaking havoc in my life because I recently started running, and I came up with a motto; that runners don't smoke; period; but yet I have been consistent with my fitness routine; and how much my running would improve; it I detach from unhealthy habits such as smoking; thank you for helping me to comprehend withdrawals; so yes, I believe I can do it!!!
Day two for me. 😅 Let’s see if I can keep it up. I think coughing up blood has scared me into quitting. You feel invincible most of you life then the reality kicks in. To everyone in here quitting, keep it up!
Quit now. I smoked 40 years and today is my 25th day of not smoking. When a doctor tells you you have COPD and you won't live many years if you continue to smoke it's very easy to quit. I choose life over the enjoyment of a cigarette. I can actually breathe better and have way more energy. Do the right thing and quit smoking cigarettes.
Great video thank you for sharing this. I have the problem of thinking I can't concentrate without smoking, and I often feel anxious, so smoke to cope. I really want to reprogram my mind.
You know that feeling you have after having a cigarette, that is what not smoking is. Smoking should be a distraction because you're always thinking about your next cigarette
I haven't smoked in a week, but I still "think" of myself as a smoker, and that's why Im scared of a relapse. It's gonna take some work to get through it
I use to smoke only a little- then as years went by- got married & there were a lot of arguments & every year I’d smoke more & then more because of stress. Everything was my responsibility- the kids- the cooking- cleaning- shopping- ect ect I was going to get a divorce but it was hard emotionally ect Now as we are older, I’m still smoking because I do everything & because of my husband’s health issues & aggravates me a lot ect- I have to take care of him & every thing! I’ve tried soo many times but can’t seem to quit because of all I handle. I soo much want to quit- trying to understand what you are saying about changing your mind but can’t really grasp it. I’m not sure how to change my mind when I’m soo overwhelmed?
Lovely video, thanks for it. Currently on a gradual recession of smoking, gonna try going cold turkey from the moment I saw this video, will update if successful even if until tomorrow.
Thanks so much for this video and the work you put into this content. Very clear and well spoken. I’ve been smoking since I was 17 (28 now) and totally relate to it being apart of my identity, something I picked up to fit in and rebel. What you say about the mental programming is huge. Less focus on the physical craving and more focus on rewriting the narrative is going to be the key to success!
I smoked for 17 years from being 12 years old when you could buy cigarettes underage and say they where for your mum or dad I used this excuse even though neither of my parents smoked I gave up smoking 18 years ago I tried many times to do quit before I finally did quit cold turkey I tried different methods of quiting before I succeeded by useing the one and only method of quiting that's garunteed to work WILL POWER 💪 most people don't use inner will power and that's why they fail ..
I really wanna quit but this life is too stressful not to smoke ,it gives me so much joy & I am a loner so smoke is my friend.I quit for 2 yrs when I had my child and I went back after She stopped breast feeding,and the withdrawal symptoms are hectic,the headache and coughing 😢😢😢
I will like to start this quitting journey, i have been smoking for more than 50 years and it seems so hard to quit please help me ,i will start quitting today
1. Choose to quit 2. Commit. Do it no matter what. Know why you quit smokibg.. 3. Change your mindset. How you feel about smoking? Think you are not a smoker. I don't need smoking. Stop your limiting beliefs. 4. Condition your smokeless life. Do not feel deprive. That's part of rewiring your brain. The civic method - Cognitive behavioral method.
I am presently trying to stop my caffeine addiction. Doing good, down from about 12 cups a day to 4-5 presently. Switching to herbal teas. Attempting to use this formula to help me with this. If you have any suggestions that would be awesome!!!!!
what happens when your both. You see yourself as a non smoker but you still have that voice that says I want it still. I only quit because I felt it was healthier but I didn't really want to quit but now im 12 days without nicotine and I really want to be smoke free but I still feel I want it. Its very confusing. Im tired of having this battle with myself please help if you can.
How do you fight the habit itself of picking one up ? And how to I quit when for me it's just a pleasurable thing? Boredom is my enemy (I'm disabled and can't work) but I want to stop and cannot replace it with a hobby etc ! Any suggestions please ,?
Ok I agree to you. Now pls explane with this I start smoke 10yrs old until now 44yrs old but one I stop smoke for 1 month and then my health start my high blood, highper tention. Pls explane why???
Smoking increases blood pressure so quitting smoking definitely is not responsible for higher blood pressure. Other factors affected this such as stress, lifestyle, diet. What did your doctor tell you about this?
I hate cigarettes. I felt imprisoned by them. I was addicted to them for 4+ decades. I am free from smoking 8 days. I've never felt this way before. I am a non smoker at heart. I AM a free, proud, non-smoker❤
There are so many unhelpful videos about quitting in the Internet that it crowds out excellent channels like yours. I hope you are able to reach even more people and help them quit and enjoy the well-deserved success of the work that you do.

I think it's great you managed 66 days. We just have to pick up again, it's ok 👍 How are you doing now? I'm trying to be less of a loner. It's definitely harder to stop smoking when you spend so much time on your own. I actually have only stopped for 3 days and found the Time to do so many things which I apparently don't have time for ever, when I smoke. Wishing you all the best!
Start again, you can do it. If we humbly ask Jesus he will gladly help.
I'm a loner too. I find myself smoking out of boredom and while doing things like looking at phone or working in yard. WE can do it !

You are actually not addicted to smoking
Smoking , worrying , negative thinking . I'm aware that these are not conducive to being at peace , but I'm trying to break these unhealthy behavioural patterns. Thanks for your videos , I am certain they will help me break my 50 year smoking addiction.
I am currently going into my 3rd day without smoking. It has indeed been quite difficult. i initially quit because I could not afford to get any cigarettes, but after deciding to. I truly felt it was something i've been wanting to for years.
I had been reading a lot of articles about how to quit, and they all share one thing in common: "avoid triggers" this can be quite difficult for heavy smokers (especially those who chain smoke) basically everything is a trigger for me, waking up , want to smoke, get something to it. want to smoke, driving, socializing, i'm bored you name it. that will be the true challenge is making it so that i no longer think of smoking when doing these things.
Did you make it? I hope so!
This willpower method your using is allll wrong . Allen Carrs book easy way to quit smoking says we are all brainwashed to believe its hard and to avoid triggers ? Noo. No. You dont need any of this. Try his book. Youll see what i mean.
Exactly. Avoiding all triggers is impossible. Life has become smoke, smoke has become life. You just have to face life again without it. Disengage it from life, mentally, and gradually exercise you will and resilience back to normal again.

Ok you gave me a great idea, when I come from work I have a cig from a long stressful day, work in a high school. I’m going to try having a small cup of coffee in stead 🙏🏼 keep up the good work for great health 💕
I never heard anyone talk with such understanding and clarity about what smoke addiction really is.
🙏
I dont even want to smoke. I give up again and again, sometimes it lasts for a while, but i always start again!😢
I just thought about why do i keep smoking...then just after this thought, i opened youtube and this was the first video that i saw!
Thankyou for this helpful video ❤ you are like an Angel of Temperance ❤
I have been watching your videos non stop to help me. I'm 5 days and 18 hours into no nicotine from vaping. I smoked for 15 yrs then moved to vaping which did help health wise for some things. Then addicted to vaping for 8 yrs. I'm determined to finally beat this nicotine addiction. But dam it's not easy at all for me.
Stay strong brother, we’re all in this fight together
What an ashtray do there behind🤔🤔
HI🥰🤗 I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW'S IT GOING?🙏🏼
@@janicereed1096 Hello, since that comment I've still not had any vaps. Not one puff. Oh it's a fight but can be done for sure. It's funny actually reading that comment now cause I remember that struggle. Anyone can beat it.
@@mannytsupra2687 Good going!!!
I have mistakenly included cigarettes, in my life, as my closest and most trusted companion and helper. A silent friend that never judges and always comforts or rewards.
Of course, the opposite is true. That idea is as illusive as chasing rainbows.
I need a divorce from nicotine.
WOW.. YOU MUST BE A POET.🤗
I’m watching these videos over and over again… I’m trying so hard to change my smoking habits. Went from 20 cigarettes a day to 12 cigarettes to 6 cigarettes. Need to stop smoking. This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do. I smoke unconsciously, difficult to break something that I do unconsciously, it’s so automatic. I want to live a longer life. My mom has asthma, emphysema, COPD. She is only 60 years old and she is bedridden. I don’t want to end up like her. I know I will if I don’t stop soon. I already wheeze, and cough up mucus, difficult to breathe at times. I want a life free of nicotine. More than anything. Wish I never started smoking, worst decision I’ve ever made! I wish I could be locked in a room for a week, just to get past the withdrawals.
Nicotine only takes about 30 minutes to get out of your system. It’s the triggers that are so so tough
This was the first video that I saw regarding the CBQ Method that really intrigued me and my curiosity. I went on a mission to find more information.
Fast forward 10 1/2 months to today: I’ve been free for 10 months! It has been an incredible journey. Something I never thought I could do, but surprised to do it so easily. Nasia Davos, your commitment for developing this program and helping others are second to none. I thank you! 💙
I’m in day 3 and it’s like having an internal itch that you can’t scratch
I can attest to the rewiring your brain part. I started to change the pattern, and in a month I went from 4 packs per day to 1/2 a pack. A little at a time. wait 5 more minutes, go for a walk, wait an hour in the morning, none two hours before bed, etc. My quit day is next week, and I think I will make it this time. I have smoked for 51 years! I can also attest to the hypnosis thing. Tried it twice, then went to school to learn self hypnosis, etc. none of it worked. neither did the patch, chantex, antidepressants, vaping, etc. I then realized that it isn't the method I needed to change, but I needed to change my mind. That appears to be working. And booze? that is the ultimate "quitter gitter". Good luck, everyone!
How are you doing nowadays? Still quit????????
@@wendysutheard5132 nope. :( but I made it 10 days. the first 7 I was prepared for. Flu like symptoms, insomnia, etc...but at 7 days I thought I was clear! nope. worse! the obsessive thought of "I NEED a cigarette!" even woke me at night. After 3 days of that? I couldn't take it anymore. But now that I know that can last up to 90 days, I will shortly try again. 52 years of smoking has a lot to do with this, as I don't recall taking a real breath. I don't remember what healthy means. But I NEED to fix this! so I will try again. Keep the faith!
@@e-spy the obsession is what gets me to start smoking again. I can’t handle only thinking about a cigarette, non stop thinking about it. I’ll be thinking of something else and bam you need a cigarette out of nowhere! How to get through the obsessive thoughts, that override everything? I don’t know, I need help with this.
@@samjones2790 me too. I keep failing. I am ready to give up giving up!
@@e-spyI feel ready to give up on giving up too and it has been almost 2 months for me. I don’t feel disappointed in any failed attempts I have had because even if I went a week, I am that much healthier because of it. I am a week ahead of where I would have been. Every failed attempt has only made you healthier and save money even if you didn’t quit this time or that time. I regret the times I have smoked, not the times I haven’t. Don’t think of it as a fail every time you smoke, think of it as a success every time you don’t and know that every time you don’t, you are already healthier for it.
Hi. I must admit that you have the edge to help people become nonsmoker forever. You helped me. Thank you
After 40 years I quit over a year ago. I feel great and super tough lol
Every time I try to quit smoking, I usually tell myself that let me just do one more. That one more becomes six to ten. And it usually seems like I am improving in numbers. It hurts my lungs because I can feel it and the guilt comes back and I have to add one more cigarette to calm it down again.
I feel bad and mostly regrets why I started smoking. It has become ingrained in many things that I do. I can't walk without smoking, I can't watch a movie, read or write without them. But from the video it has really enlightened me on my smoking patterns and the commitment I have to put in.
So am writing this comment to thank the creator of this masterpiece and also as a reminder to the commitment I am willing to take.
Rewatched this video December 17th 2023. I pray that I can do this!
I agree with this; I visualized myself holding a cup of morning coffee and enjoying it without a cig. I envisioned driving without smoking. I saw myself breathing better and teeth getting whiter. I visualized myself less irritable and that helped me greatly. I am so happy having it off my back. It was a stress and not a reprieve for a moment. Feel FREEDOM--visualize it first to learn and experience it in your mind-- then do it.
I am on day 4 no cigarette. I like this idea of reprogramming the mind towards cigs.
Habits learnt young, could never stop till my time had come. Woke up one day and knew that was it.
I found your channel at just the right time. Ive been able to quit opiates but still haven't succeeded with tobacco. Thank you very much for this information, I feel more confident after watching your videos!
@@nvseerah opiates is a form of pain medication like morphine or oxycodone also called Percocet.. Vicodin or even heroin that drug addicts use on the street! If your taking a medicine like this from your Dr the responsible way your ok but when a person starts to take more then they are supposed to and using these medications to get a high feeling this is what causes drug addiction.. I am a pain patient so I take my medicine very carefully exactly like my Dr says and iv had no issues but your body does become dependent on these medicines so you must be sure that you need these medications hope that helps God bless 💙
I feel you Maddie, I’m 5 months clean from an 8 year meth addiction and since I quite meth I cranked (haha) up my vaping to elite levels. Substitution maybe? Dunno..
But quitting nicotine has actually been harder than meth. I’m so sick of being a slave to another stupid harmful drug! Jeeez!!
YES LORD MY EXACT STORY! IF I COULD JUST GET RID OF THESE DAMN CIGARETTES! I PRAY YOUR HAVING SUCCESS. IK WE DON'T KNW EACH OTHER BUT I WOULD LOVE TO KNW HOW THINGS ARE GOING FOR U. IM ABOUT TO QUIT SMOKING. IM TIRED! SO EVEN IF U DON'T REPLY GOOD LUCK TO YOU 🙏🏼
@@JesussavedmeWOW! JESUS SAVED ME! SO YOU COULD JUDGE OTHERS! YOUR A DRUG ADDICT TO THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS YOUR DOCTOR IS YOUR SUPPLIER!! BUT OH LET THEM KICK U OUTTA PAIN MNGT, I BETCHA YOU GONNA RUN TO THE STREETS!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKES ME SICK!!! HOW DARE YOU TRY AN DOWN PLAY THE SITUATION 😂 TALKING ABOUT A SPECK▫️ IN OTHER PEOPLE'S EYES 👀 BUT U HAVE A LOG 🪵 IN YOUR'S 🤦♀️🤷♀️BET THAT WENT OVER UR HEAD 😂😂 I TAKE MINE RESPONSIBLY 😂 JUST LIKE MY DOCTOR ORDERED 😂😂😂 JESUS PLEASE!! TAKE THE WHEEL! 👏👏🥇🏆🎇 CUZ IT WAS A GREAT SHOW!!🤗🥰👏
@@janicereed1096 Good luck!! I was successful for 4 months and relapsed a couple weeks ago due to a separation 💔 But im getting started again tomorrow.
very thoughtful and well-organized. I might add not hypnosis, but self-hypnosis, because unlike "being hypnotized," self-hypnosis creates a serene environment in which what is focused on stands alone, and often promotes cognitive and behavioral change.
Thank you very much for this information, it has been the most helpful of anything I've heard,, I'm on 12 days no cigarettes and it is going much easier than I expected,, smoked for 45 yrs and just had enough of it,, I am sure i will never smoke again but that doesn't mean it has to be hard to do,, your videos are exactly what i need and the mental addiction is very true,, one thing i do is i keep an empty pack of cigarettes in my pocket, but it has gum, candy,toothpicks and straws in it instead of cigarettes,, that way i get the feel of everything is the same but not the health risk,, a big part of smoking for me was seeing the cigarettes and then "needing" one, this way when I get the urge for a cigarette I grab the pack and take out a piece of gum or candy but not a cigarette and it's only partly frustrating,, it helps and I feel like I succeeded in not smoking another cigarette
what a great idea! how are you doing now?
@@e-spy it's been 13 months and not one cigarette, it definitely gotten easier and just recently I realized I have practically no urge for a cigarette at all, my girlfriend smokes and they are really starting to stink and annoy me so I'm pretty sure I'm completley over them,, another thing that helped me quit cold turkey was i would buy the worst tasting, most nasty smelling cigarettes i could find, the really cheap ones, and that would help me not want one plus save money, that was a big help for me quiting,,, stick with it and you will quit, some day you won't want one and you'll be kicking yourself for ever starting,, even now I tell my self I don't need one and don't want one, just like I don't want chewing tobacco or snuff, and the money, OMG THE MONEY!
You got this! 😁👍
@@wakeup6910 Thank you so much for your encouragement, and congratulations on your progress!
This is so encouraging . Thank you!!!!!!
You are super encouraging and gave us great ideas! Thank you 🙏🏼🫶🏼
Thank you so much. The. Mindfulness tip is the most helpful for me. I've hidden from my own emotions for years, and it's time to get acquainted with them!
My quitting date is tomorrow Aug 1 2022, thank you for the information, I got this 💪
How are you doing now?
@rheamcfadden4727 over a year without smoking best decision I've ever made 🙏
It's 2024, How you doing mate
I'm only day 3 and amazed about all the things I do which I wouldn't find the time nor energy for when smoking. Crazy!
Sure I feel some body discomfort. What is that actually, cravings I guess? I'm just breathing through them. It helps.
Thanks for the video 👍
Just listened to this and signed up to the stages. Feeling confidant, and hoping it will change other bad habits to improve my life for example eating. Thank you so much
I won’t to be obedient to God, struggling to stop smoking cigarettes thank you for this video
I smoked for 30 pack years and then vaped like a crazy man for 10 years. I’ve read Allen Carr’s book three times. I found this video to be the perfect mind power tool. After 40 years of inhaling nicotine, on July 1 2024 I stopped. While I was planning to use nicotine replacement as an emergency (against recommendations) I’ve only had one piece of nicotine gum per day. My brain was terrified to give up this horrible habit. But if I was so addicted to nicotine the chemical, there is no way I’m feeling this good on day 4 using one piece of gum per day. I’m already noting how much better my lungs feel, my circulation is better. The brainfog is gone after 4 days. This video summary really helped me and I intend to review it again as part of the process. Thank you
I went a year smoking cigarettes and I’m only 15 4 days smoke free just keep coming back to this video ❤
I am actually having a panic attack just thinking i need to quit ! i have tried all to stop . Nothing worked .. i am desperate to quit .. i will listen to your videos and read some comments . Thank you
I'm in the same boat
@@wonderingsoul8021 Only thing i have not tried is Agopuncture ..
Such clarity. Tried quitting at least 200 times. Smoking 50years. Hate it! Spent $$$ on programs. Nothing sustainable. Relapses due to anxiety. Please send me information on how to access program or website
Hello! You can visit our official website at cbqmethod.com, read thousanda of success stories and find info on free resources as well as our paid award-winning program :) Would love to help you!
This is exactly what I needed, finally someone who knows what they're talking about on this heavy topic, sharing so much valid knowledge firsthand. I hope you're aware of your immense help! Keep up that awesome work
thank you for this comment. 🙏
I'm two weeks quit. The first week was easy. I am now getting cravings. But I tell myself no I don't smoke and go do something. That's all. You have to want to quit!!
Thank you so much smoked 35 years and quite and by using what you said and still quite get yourself some tooth picks
Changing lives, one view at a time. I wish I could honestly say I’ll quit today. All I heard was the intro so far, and I need to play the rest. Maybe this will convince me since I just smoked the last one in the pack right now and don’t have any unless I buy another.
I've started my journey today
Robert Greene, Jung, Joseph Campbell... Amazing book collection
Was it just me or was it actually incredibly easy? I vaped HEAVY for 8 years (you get tons more nicotine each day with vaping compared to cigarettes), then switched to a heavy amount of nicotine pouches (zyn, on, etc) then I just stopped one night. Didn’t even feel any withdrawals, maybe some added irritability and some cravings here and there, but my baseline is angry and depressed. Honestly the loneliness I feel every moment of every day is worse than quitting any substance addiction I’ve ever had. (Benzos, alcohol, weed, adderall, caffeine, nicotine) I think other people’s brain power is just severely lacking. Adderall is probably the singlehanded most challenging to quit using. As with cold turkey, your an absolute zombie for the next 2 or 3 months trying to just drag your foot one step in front of the other to suffer through the day. Nicotine is easy to stop. But I have to remind myself I’m not a normal person, and my brain has been hardened from the start. Hope this gives someone some motivation, as there are much much harder things to stop using than cigarettes or vaping. It all comes down to your will and discipline and desire to stop
I decided to stop after my birthday which was yesterday I've just started my journey today..wish me luck 😅💯💪
I just started and what has really helped so far is I never smoked inside my house, so I am used to sitting on the couch with coffee and not smoking. But I do enjoy sitting on the porch in the morning with coffee and smoke. I did get a box of nicotine gum to help.
Thank You; thus far; I'm hooked on your vlogs; I cut out the alcohol; but yet my sidekick El Cigarette is wreaking havoc in my life because I recently started running, and I came up with a motto; that runners don't smoke; period; but yet I have been consistent with my fitness routine; and how much my running would improve; it I detach from unhealthy habits such as smoking; thank you for helping me to comprehend withdrawals; so yes, I believe I can do it!!!
I have quit smoking as of 1st January 2023
Successful quit smoking, 48 days.
Day two for me. 😅 Let’s see if I can keep it up. I think coughing up blood has scared me into quitting. You feel invincible most of you life then the reality kicks in. To everyone in here quitting, keep it up!
Thank you so much. I want to share what I'm learning with my drop in group
Thank you, this video is awesome, I can see myself as a non-smoker❤
Quit now. I smoked 40 years and today is my 25th day of not smoking. When a doctor tells you you have COPD and you won't live many years if you continue to smoke it's very easy to quit. I choose life over the enjoyment of a cigarette. I can actually breathe better and have way more energy. Do the right thing and quit smoking cigarettes.
Excellent💯👍 way of explaining the solution!
This was excellent!! Hearing this tonight gave me a lot of new insight on how to see smoking so differently. Thank you Nasia so much
Great video thank you for sharing this. I have the problem of thinking I can't concentrate without smoking, and I often feel anxious, so smoke to cope. I really want to reprogram my mind.
You know that feeling you have after having a cigarette, that is what not smoking is. Smoking should be a distraction because you're always thinking about your next cigarette
Makes perfect sense, Thank you so much. I am blessed to have found you and your channel.
I have been smoking since 17..im now 40..I'm finally thinking I'm ready to quit
I haven't smoked in a week, but I still "think" of myself as a smoker, and that's why Im scared of a relapse. It's gonna take some work to get through it
Your videos are very informative and helpful thank you I’m so excited to be a smoke free person ❤
May God bless you ❤ for changing our lives..
Make the unconscious conscious!👍🤗
My name is Marva and I smoked for 50 years stopping in between and starting back again I will like to stop for good
I use to smoke only a little- then as years went by- got married & there were a lot of arguments & every year I’d smoke more & then more because of stress. Everything was my responsibility- the kids- the cooking- cleaning- shopping- ect ect I was going to get a divorce but it was hard emotionally ect Now as we are older, I’m still smoking because I do everything & because of my husband’s health issues & aggravates me a lot ect-
I have to take care of him & every thing! I’ve tried soo many times but can’t seem to quit because of all I handle. I soo much want to quit- trying to understand what you are saying about changing your mind but can’t really grasp it.
I’m not sure how to change my mind when I’m soo overwhelmed?
You are really helping me so much. Thank you so much for these videos. Think of all the people you’ll help!!!
I’m starting my journey now
Very helpful. I Will apply yout principles.
Lovely video, thanks for it. Currently on a gradual recession of smoking, gonna try going cold turkey from the moment I saw this video, will update if successful even if until tomorrow.
You make more sense to me than the last 30 videos I have watched !!! Thank you !
Thanks so much for this video and the work you put into this content. Very clear and well spoken. I’ve been smoking since I was 17 (28 now) and totally relate to it being apart of my identity, something I picked up to fit in and rebel. What you say about the mental programming is huge. Less focus on the physical craving and more focus on rewriting the narrative is going to be the key to success!
I've noticed that smoking, Is a Bad habit It has been an eternal battle held in muy marriage. First video that has has the power to convence me!!
I smoked for 17 years from being 12 years old when you could buy cigarettes underage and say they where for your mum or dad I used this excuse even though neither of my parents smoked
I gave up smoking 18 years ago
I tried many times to do quit before I finally did quit cold turkey
I tried different methods of quiting before I succeeded by useing the one and only method of quiting that's garunteed to work WILL POWER 💪 most people don't use inner will power and that's why they fail ..
" neurons that fire together wire together "
Love your energy and work thanks for sharing. Yes the drinking goes with it must stop everything
There is a lot of positivity in your every video, it gives a lot of inspiration. thank you so much
Thank you so much. My first day.
Thank you very mach, Nasia! Thanks for all you have done for us!
I really wanna quit but this life is too stressful not to smoke ,it gives me so much joy & I am a loner so smoke is my friend.I quit for 2 yrs when I had my child and I went back after She stopped breast feeding,and the withdrawal symptoms are hectic,the headache and coughing 😢😢😢
Excellent! I am planning to quit smoking after your presentation.
Awesome video... Quit smoking on 4 sept 2022..
Thank you! Will try your method x
You are a clever woman. Thanks.. love you..❤
This video is powerful
I will like to start this quitting journey, i have been smoking for more than 50 years and it seems so hard to quit please help me ,i will start quitting today
This video was very helpful 😊 thanks
1. Choose to quit
2. Commit. Do it no matter what.
Know why you quit smokibg..
3. Change your mindset. How you feel about smoking? Think you are not a smoker. I don't need smoking. Stop your limiting beliefs.
4. Condition your smokeless life. Do not feel deprive. That's part of rewiring your brain.
The civic method - Cognitive behavioral method.
I am presently trying to stop my caffeine addiction. Doing good, down from about 12 cups a day to 4-5 presently. Switching to herbal teas. Attempting to use this formula to help me with this. If you have any suggestions that would be awesome!!!!!
what happens when your both. You see yourself as a non smoker but you still have that voice that says I want it still. I only quit because I felt it was healthier but I didn't really want to quit but now im 12 days without nicotine and I really want to be smoke free but I still feel I want it. Its very confusing. Im tired of having this battle with myself please help if you can.
Well done on stopping + keep going! Yr brain is playing tricks on u. Wishing u well
Thanks for the content im freeing myself day by day!
Same here.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank You Nasia!
thank you. great explanation. great program.
How do you fight the habit itself of picking one up ? And how to I quit when for me it's just a pleasurable thing? Boredom is my enemy (I'm disabled and can't work) but I want to stop and cannot replace it with a hobby etc ! Any suggestions please ,?
Try gardening if you're not bedridden. If that doesn't do it,try crosswords puzzles or games!
I stopped all nicotine a few days ago after watching thiis and doing some hypnosis and plant medicine work. Thank You
This is an excellent summary of the crucial aspects of ending nicotine addiction.
Ok I agree to you. Now pls explane with this I start smoke 10yrs old until now 44yrs old but one I stop smoke for 1 month and then my health start my high blood, highper tention. Pls explane why???
Smoking increases blood pressure so quitting smoking definitely is not responsible for higher blood pressure. Other factors affected this such as stress, lifestyle, diet. What did your doctor tell you about this?
I hate cigarettes. I felt imprisoned by them. I was addicted to them for 4+ decades. I am free from smoking 8 days. I've never felt this way before. I am a non smoker at heart. I AM a free, proud, non-smoker❤
