    I'm on day two, about 36 hours in. Sometimes, especially in the evening, the craving gets so bad it almost feels like panic but I noticed it doesn't last longer than 15 minutes or so. So it's like little hills where you have to get over. Good luck to anyone quitting. I hope you succeed.

    Cold turkey 7 days today after 23 years(scary that I can't even comprehend how I got here), have tried before but never went past 3 days. Point 6. Avoid Triggers(anxiety, stress, etc) has been my major hurdle, had to identify and write them down and how to tackle them every day...taking vitamin C, green tea, and jogging ...at the moment I have zero cravings, and am taking it a day at a time...All the best to everyone else on this Journey

    I have been a smoker for 9 years. Tried quitting for last 2 years,switched to vaping on and off, it actually never helped as a substitute moreover vaping a salt nic increases the nicotine consumption more and more without your knowing making myself more addicted to it.
    Tapering down the consumption never worked for me so,
    Tonight I felt like I should really quit all sorts of smoking once and for all. (14th october/2024)
    Thanks doc for this video.

      I think that maybe first 2-3 weeks are the toughest but you can get through that. After that maybe like 2 more months (not as hard as first 2-3 weeks) to start making 'not smoking' a new habit of yours
      You can do it. It's a matter of mindset.

Not sure but think it was due to the sublimal tape I listened to for 2 weeks at bedtime (falling asleep listening to that tape) prior to quitting for good. I remember one phrase from that tape: "I now breathe in clean fresh air." I wonder if that type of sublimal technique is still available to people.

    Hello. I wanted to make some kind of confession. I couldn't stop smoking. It's a getaway to cope with reality, it's the only time I get to unwind. I'm not at all a "hardcore" smoker, it just relieves stress after I got out from work. The sheer pressure built inside of me after a whole day of facing a stupid boss, fake colleagues and shitty clients. I don't want to bring those feelings back home, so after work I always go to a minimart, get myself a coffee and sit on the corner, smoking one or two cigs. At the very least, I could recollect myself and smile to my wife when I got home.

    my quit date is February 25th. After nearly a decade of being an alcoholic and smoker I quit drinking July 17th 2023, now its time for the cigarettes to go to. Mostly for health reasons but saving money is always nice to and its quite a bit of money at that. I want to treat myself better because I deserve it!

    I set my date for today, I finished my last pack of cigarettes lastnight... So, I figured why wait, I do have the patches. They are making a huge difference as I know myself without a cigarette. I am experiencing my body overheating and cold sweats as well as crying... That is a new one.
    I also bought something called a breathlace, look it up, it is helpful for fidgeting and deep breathing.
    I am determined, and my why is my daughter, I want to be around as long as I can for her. I am 12 hrs in, and I know I can do it, and so can everyone else reading this.
    I wish everybody the best of luck, I will be keeping a cool cloth close by.
