Good to see you again Jared. Congratulations on two years. I am glad that you checked in and are showing people that quitting is doable. The page whyquit.com/joels-videos/showing-others-that-there-is-life-without-smoking/ addresses the real value of people doing this. You actually touched on a lot of topics here that I am going to attach resources pages that address this issues. As usual, I am going to attach them in the order that you first touched on specific topics. Also, I think since we last talked I had created two relapse prevention pages that I wanted to make you aware of. The first one is whyquit.com/joels-videos/videos-related-to-the-implications-of-a-puff-once-you-have-quit/. The video atop that page explains how to best utilize these resources. The other page is whyquit.com/joels-videos/relapse-prevention-resources/. Once again, congratulations on your two years. Hope all is well in all of the other areas in your life and wishing you a happy and healthy new years.

Hey Joel, as always I thank you for your support and resources. Utilizing your resources has had a huge impact on my quit. I’m responding to your comment on the mobile studio app, but can’t see your comment on my desktop computer. I know you’ve had a problem with RUclips not showing your comments before. I wonder if it’s because of all the links. In any case, I just wanted you to know that I do have access to your resources even if it looks like the comment is not on the video. I hope all is well!
Hello again Jared: Not sure what the problem you are having with the links. I just copied and pasted my above response and sent them to you via email. I send lots of links to numerous people daily and haven't heard of the issue you are having. I will try to see if anyone else is having the problem. Once again, congratulations on your two years. Joel
Thanks, man. I may have worded my response to you in a confusing way. If I navigate to this video on RUclips, I can’t see your comment. This was an issue that I remember talking with you about before. I have access to the comment and the attached links through the studio app, but anyone else who finds the video on RUclips may not see it. It’s not an issue for me, I’m just concerned that your public comments may not always be showing up on people’s videos.
Thanks for the clarification. I am not sure what the problem is. Its actually the first time anyone has mentioned the problem in quite a while and I had actually forgotten that I had a similar problem in the past. I've had many different problems with RUclips and Google as to its people being able to find our resources. Check out the page whyquit.com/joels-videos/where-can-i-get-information-on-how-to-quit-smoking-cold-turkey/ which highlights the latest and what is probably the biggest problem we are facing these day. I am afraid we are only able to reach a small fraction of the people who we had been helping over the past 20 years on the Internet. The only good news I can see from the problem you are making me aware of is that I guess I don't have to feel that people who I am reaching out to are purposely ignoring me, for many never respond one way or another to my comments on their channels. Maybe its possible that many of these people have simply never seen my replies to them. Either way its not the best situation for the people who I would like to be helping but I am not sure what I can do to rectify the problem. If you ever come across any possible information on how to resolve this I would be most appreciative.
Hi Jared, I’ve been cigarette free for almost 8 months now! 🤗 I so want to thank you, your videos saw me through some very hard moments. 😊 Also, just recently I started working with smokers who I regularly run into outside and I’ve noticed that while the cigarette smoke in that moment smells overwhelming and gross, doesn’t trigger any desires to smoke, the next day I WILL crave cigarettes...I think you’re right to avoid secondhand smoke. Thanks again!
Hey man! I know you dont know me but, I want to say thank you! your videos help me alot when I'm in my first week and so on quitting journey. You've become my friend on those days and now im in my 2years 3months and 24days now. I am really happy watching your videos up until today. Thanks alot keep this channel alive 👌🏻
Congratulations! I’m so freakin stoked for you. I’m glad you found my videos helpful, and I’m so glad that you were able to stay committed to your quit :) I’ve been meaning to make a video. I’m still nicotine free and just hit four years at the beginning of the year. Stay vigilant, and keep enjoying life as a non smoker! I’m so absolutely proud of what you’ve accomplished. It’s just wonderful to hear :)
Hi Jared, congratulations on reaching your 2 year milestone... that's awesome!! I'm still right behind you and hit mine yesterday. Woohoo!!!! I know what you mean about still having to keep your guard up though. I'm heading to Ireland to celebrate St Patrick's Day next month and even though, like you, I rarely ever think about smoking these days, I know my triggers and I know that once the St Paddy's day celebrations begin and the alcohol starts flowing, the urge to smoke will be strong. But I shall resist. Mainly because I dont ever want to have to quit again! Keep on keeping on and I look forward to being right behind you again when you reach your 3 year milestone :)
Finally the Winkler has returned. That's so cool you've stayed quit. I unfortunately have not. I've stayed off cigarettes for 2 years but still use the Ecig the last 6 months. I intend to get the quit started next week and just loved the timing of this video. Happy New Year bud.
I have notice that I feel more relax and comfortable after 1 year since quit smoking,additionally this awareness caused to find out somebody who experienced this feelings like me,thanks a lot,from Turkey.
ppl say it's so fucking hard to quit but I've been cold turkey now and after the initial withdrawal was over I looked back and thought about how surprisingly not hard it was. "hardest thing in my entire life" not even close, not even top 5. Was it difficult to built the level of motivation I needed to make the choice to never pay for another cigarette for the rest of my life? Yes, very difficult and I failed many times because I just didn't have the motivation, resolve, and self discipline to really follow through with my intentions but after I really dug deep and pulled that motivation out of myself, the hardest part was already over. Now I just have to deal with relatively mild withdrawals symptoms, literally nothing compared to what I've experience quitting other substances. It's not easy, not be any stretch, but it's also not as hard as you probably think it is. YOU CAN DO IT
I came here from your day 5 smoke free, and boy do I see a major difference comparing to this video, you look a lot healthier, your skin is so much better and your voice sounds clear. Good job, you really inspire me to finally quit smoking, after this pack is done, it's done !
I quit smoking almost 8 months ago. That was just the first month when I lost my mother to breast cancer, but I wanted to be strong, just for my mom. Feel great now, but still have some hard times. Especially, most of my friends do smoke.. and when I go out and wait there alone until the others go to smoke. 😄 One of my friends also said:,, It's so sad that you quit smoking.'' Well... sad to make you sad. 🤣 Like there is the only way to chat.. when you smoke. Yeah, still think about that, but I've been coming so far and it will mentally kill me, if I fail. It's normal to think about it sometimes, especially when you have done it for so many years and every hour of it. 😄 Good luck & very good videos!
Good for you! Yeah quitting smoking suck, be careful when going out drinking, because when you drink especially in my case my will power goes out the window :d. I am 4 years smoke free and I still experience the occasional mental cravings. Anyway keep up the great work and stay smoke free.
Hey Jared, can you make a video on all the benefits you have from quitting smoking after 2 years? Like give motivation to people to quit smoking. Also elaborate why someone should quit entirely and not smoke once in a while without buying a pack?
I hate smoking because it makes me content to just sit and chain smoke and lay around. I want to be serious about starting a business and get back into the farming world. I started smoking again when I started my job that's stressful recently. My bf is my only friend and we don't have a great relationship
Jared! Good to see you again after so long. Sadly. I'm still a smoker, but your words and your testimony are priceless. Also, sadly, I was diagnosed with lung cancer this past July. It's the saddest thing that' has ever happened to me in my entire life. I'm embarrassed and crestfallen that I let this happen, and all I can do is carry on and hope and pray that I choose to stop and stay stopped from this point on. I could go on, but I'll let this be it for the moment. I have one question to ask you though, in case you are willing to share it: I'm wondering what do you do for a living, and how this relates to how you stay away from smokers and smoking. Well, I wish I had better news, but there it is. Sincerely, Rich Stadler, in Columbus, Ohio.
Hey Rich :) I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It really is devastating to hear. I'm a worrier by nature, and every once in a while I've pondered what I would have done as a smoker if I got that news. I really hope you can stay in good spirits. Is there any treatment you're exploring? As far as work, I wait tables. There are employees there that smoke, and I still have the triggers of running to take my own smoke breaks when things get hectic in the past. Another thing I've had to deal with is smokers passing by when I'm serving on our patio. While our guests can't smoke there, I'll sometimes be talking to a table, and suddenly I'm hit with someone's smoke, and can't even see where it's coming from. I'll try to hold my breath, and duck away from the table at the next opportunity. Thinking of you, and wishing you the best, man.
@@ianwarren4938 I was wondering whether I can become a once in a while smoker in rare situations, like bum a cigarette of a friend in rare moments etc. Guess will never know until I try. One thing I'm certain of is that I can't buy a pack and smoke 1-2 cigarettes a day or just store them for rare moments. No way, I go through the entire pack in a day and can't control myself. Thanks for the reply.
@@globalcombattv it is a slippery slope my friend. I tried that route too. I could usually keep it together for a week or two but always slid back into my old pack a day habbit in no time. In my experience it is in the long term far easier to just quit.
Thank you for this video. It really helped me a lot. Please do more videos...and don't worry, you have enough to talk about. It was very natural and inspiring. Please give us an update on your status. I am 2.5 years cigarette free- almost 4 months juul free and 2 months nicotine free. It still is a struggle. I trust it will get better and easier and I just know that I do not want to go back to that addiction. So no matter how much I think I am craving nicotine, I will not put it in my body. It will pass. I came across your video today and it helped me. Also, one more thing. I watched your latest one first and then went and watched your earlier ones. You look so much better when you were without nicotine. I can see it in your face and hear it in your voice.
I'm on day 11 man. Quit over a year ago and relapsed. Going to be some tough moments in the first 2-4 weeks, but you'll get it if you just hang in there. 2-4 weeks to stop a lifetime habit isn't too much to ask.
That's amazing. Congratulations!!! I'm only on day 2 and I feel like I want to pull my hair out. 🙄😫. Your a hunk, btw... 😍 but hope I can get to this point!!
Hey! It's 2021... Are you going to make a 3 years quitting smoking video? I hope you did not relapsed again. Whatever ever happened let us know. I am on day three in a new attempt to quit and came back in your channel cause i really get help watching your videos, even if i know them. It's like reading Alen Carrs book again in a new quit. I wish you all the best. You are a very nice guy and your thoughts are always helpful even the times you may think you don't say very important stuff. Everything counts to me. Hope you give us your feedback. Best wishes for 2021 to you and your family.
I stopped and when I smell a smoker I want to lick them , walk behind them in the street ... I recently visited one of my neighbors who smokes and for two days I could feel it on my lungs and have so resisted buying some tobacco. I know I have never beaten it , I’ve outrun it .
Hey, I’m doing great! Still free of nicotine. I’ve wanted to update, but I’m in the middle of moving across the country. When I get settled, I’ll definitely record something. I hope you’re well!
Good to see you again Jared. Congratulations on two years. I am glad that you checked in and are showing people that quitting is doable. The page whyquit.com/joels-videos/showing-others-that-there-is-life-without-smoking/ addresses the real value of people doing this.

Stopped a 20 year habit, 5-6 packs per day. I found quitting really easy.
I've done ,18 months smoke free I know I never want to smoke again and the money I've saved !!
Congrats Michael! That's awesome :)

Ecig is likely way better than cigs, so that's still a win. I hope you're able to get off the nicotine entirely. Happy New Year!
I have notice that I feel more relax and comfortable after 1 year since quit smoking,additionally this awareness caused to find out somebody who experienced this feelings like me,thanks a lot,from Turkey.

Yes!
Day 2 - My triggers
1) Walking the dog, esp at night
2) Outside alone at mountain cabin

Please do more videos...and don't worry, you have enough to talk about. It was very natural and inspiring. Please give us an update on your status.
I am 2.5 years cigarette free- almost 4 months juul free and 2 months nicotine free. It still is a struggle. I trust it will get better and easier and I just know that I do not want to go back to that addiction.
So no matter how much I think I am craving nicotine, I will not put it in my body. It will pass.
I came across your video today and it helped me.
Also, one more thing. I watched your latest one first and then went and watched your earlier ones. You look so much better when you were without nicotine. I can see it in your face and hear it in your voice.
Thanks I am 4 days in after 30 years of smoking. This gives me hope ! Doing the easy way Allen Carr
6 months smoke free, looking forward for a new video, maybe 3 years anniversary?
day 29 for me. healthy lungs on the horizon people!!!
Ty for the videos they are motivating, YT algorithme dont like them too much, but i do 🤩🤣😂 stay strong brother 💪
I’m on Day 4 right now. Staying strong.
I'm on day 11 man. Quit over a year ago and relapsed. Going to be some tough moments in the first 2-4 weeks, but you'll get it if you just hang in there. 2-4 weeks to stop a lifetime habit isn't too much to ask.
Hi , your video helps Thankyou , day 3 no cigarette 🙏
well done was waiting for year 3 update!!! hope your well! :-)
That's amazing. Congratulations!!! I'm only on day 2 and I feel like I want to pull my hair out. 🙄😫. Your a hunk, btw... 😍 but hope I can get to this point!!
On February 28th I will be one year smoke free 😉👍
Congrats!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Do you still get cravings?
Great vid bro. Im 8 months quit. Feel everything ur saying
With respect to your health from when you a smoker to now, what improvement or differences have you noticed?
Hey! It's 2021... Are you going to make a 3 years quitting smoking video? I hope you did not relapsed again. Whatever ever happened let us know. I am on day three in a new attempt to quit and came back in your channel cause i really get help watching your videos, even if i know them. It's like reading Alen Carrs book again in a new quit. I wish you all the best. You are a very nice guy and your thoughts are always helpful even the times you may think you don't say very important stuff. Everything counts to me. Hope you give us your feedback. Best wishes for 2021 to you and your family.
I genuinely think this is great advice!
Congratulations!
💪
👏 👏 👏
So when are you uploading again???
OMG HES BACK❤️❤️
I was 7 months clean then started again a few weeks ago :( I want to quit again but feel like I don't have the support
I stopped and when I smell a smoker I want to lick them , walk behind them in the street ... I recently visited one of my neighbors who smokes and for two days I could feel it on my lungs and have so resisted buying some tobacco. I know I have never beaten it , I’ve outrun it .
The error of errors is to think of yourself as a smoker who is trying to quit, instead of a non-smoker. Why would a non-smoker, smoke?
I'm only day 3 :(
I am always failing what can i do :(
Can we get an update in January?
Hey!love your videos. How are you these days?
Hey, I’m doing great! Still free of nicotine. I’ve wanted to update, but I’m in the middle of moving across the country. When I get settled, I’ll definitely record something. I hope you’re well!
Hope your move goes smoothly and I’ll be looking forward to your update 😊 stay well
Its not at all challenging. If you know what your goal is , you will do it anyway. It is not building a rocket but just to break a filthy addiction.
Can someone tell me, how long the cravings last? 🤔
Hey Jared, are you still on the wagon?
Can I email you? I need help quitting!
