I've watched this probably hundreds of time, every time when I had cravings I watch this to give me a reasons why I shouldn't smoke and so far it worked. So far 3 weeks without smoking after 15 years of smoking and hundreds of fail quitting attempts. I will not going back there that's for sure
MrAsificare dont count the days, count the weeks. If you get cravings just drink loads of water, it sounds strange but it works. and keep reminding yourself that if you give in you have to start from zero days again. keep your days going up. starting from day 1 again would be a huge setback
Do not count days! That makes harder for you... Imagine that you've never ever smoked a single cigarette and that that's something you are not familiar with. Ensure yourself into this and be free...
you are right for someone who hasnt smoked much.. But for people like me who are smoking 2 packs a day for more than 10 years, each day is a fight and the day count is our trophy. I feel proud . Its been 76 days for me now. I dont count, but i remember the date i left. I did count for a month though . All the best to those who are early in the fight. Keep your resolve strong. This is your best decision ever..
Im closing in on 3 months without smokes and im feeling good. I wish you all a good luck with your quitting. I hope you all succeed. Lets live long together!
2 more months then it will be my second year anniversary of when i quit smoking! Cravings are totally gone, the chronic cough is gone, breathing is much more easier and better and i feel much healthier. Never ever smoking again.
Jeffrey sawyer the cravings took ages to go away, around 8 months. Every time i got cravings I just drank soo much water. I also used to work out a lot and spend alot of time on the tredmill and started lifting weights. My first ever attempt on the treadmill i lasted 7 minutes & felt like i was going to faint when i got off. almost 2 years on now i can run 30 to 40 minutes on the treadmill & get off with out feeling like im going to die. Anyway the secret to quitting smoking is your will power, if you really want to quit then you will. but the only advise i can give you with regards to the cravings is to drink as much water as possible as soon as you get a craving. It will leave you feeling bloated & put you off a cigaret
***** yea cravings all gone. i havent had one in ages. I actually dont even like being around people that smoke. It makes me feel sick. It is a disgusting habit and my life is 100x better without those cancer sticks. Mind you also used to smoke shisha aswell which is realy bad and the ocasional plant. if you really want to quit get your mind set and straight. You can do anything if you've got the will power.
In one hour it'll be 3 weeks, smoke free...I don't plan on ever smoking again...first week was hell...now it gets easier. I dont think about it till someone mentions to me that im not smoking anymore. Then im reminded that I use to smoke. Hardest part is breaking habits I associated with smoking. Like long phone conversations, after sex, long drives to work everyday (45min) and anything were I'm bored or creating something (music etc). But now I realize, I was fooled into thinking I need to smoke to do those things. Lol...and I workout now!! Now I feel I can do anything...currently writing a book. (Not smoking related)
I tried to quit number of times earlier, but ended up smoking within 24 hours. For the first time I have not smoked since last four days. Now I know, every time u try n fail, u r getting closer to achieving it. I wish I can quit completely this time. May GOD help me....!!
Its completely psychological. If you actually don't want to smoke, you wont actually want to smoke. Take control of your feelings, you are the controller of your mind and body!
3.5 days smoke free now, God help me! Did anyone else feel like they couldn't breathe when they quit smoking? It feels as though I have asthma! Can't catch my breath:(
Hey man, I am on day 7 and I am irritable like a son of a bitch. One huge positive right now is that I am starting to taste things and breath a lot easier. I am also sleeping a lot.
Keep it up man, I'm past the three week mark and it's so exciting. Anytime you have a craving, what works for me is a sip of really cold water, and take a deep breath, and then imagine not being able to take that breath without a machine hooked up to you. Also, when you take a deep breath, imagine in a few months how much deeper you will be able to breathe. I cant wait till summer to see how long I can hold my breath under water.
Every time I get that craving to smoke, I tell myself that smoking will do no good to me. I remind myself of the difficult few days I've gone though in effort to quit..!!
Just quit 3 days ago. I can't sleep properly (3-4 hours/day since I've stopped), I've been experiencing the worst headaches and my ability to snap at people is scaring me. My anger/irritability worries me the most. I'm unpredictable and my inability to control my emotions is actually freaking me out.
THIS video kept me motivated to stop smoking! Over one year later, I've started to work out and go jogging. I've lost more than 10kg since before. I've learned to love vegetables and fruits, which names I didn't know before. My earnest thanks to all those people who made this video! God bless you! :)
When I get cravings, I watch this video, cause after 2-3 min for me, the cravings go away and this video reminds me of the health benefits of quitting smoking. Good luck everyone who is trying to quit, you can do it!
about 50 hours in without cigs and I am feeling smells !!! My perfume smells so good!!!! its amazing. Its like im re discovering the world of smells. :)
Soner Gökçe So many people trying to profit of people who wanne quit smoking. It's really immoral and gives false hope because 9/10 methods are fake like the you one showed.
6 days without smoking. I only have cravings at night before I go to bed. Instead of thinking about smoking I go to the GYM and do HIIT trainings.. After one HIIT training you remember why you never want to smoke again. I reccomend it
I'm on day 5. Day 3 was a turning point. I had increased appetite on that day, mixed with waves of depression, along the level of the death of a pet, but a bit different. On day 3 I was keenly aware that my body was functioning better, esp. in regard to blood pressure and my ability to climb stairs. Day 3 was a challenge because that's when my brain was trying to talk me into just bumming a smoke. I didn't fall for my self-lies...that along with swimming & sleep got me through it. Good luck!
Day 104!! = 3 1/2 months.. For those of you who are on day 2 or 5 please stay positive. I didn't know how I was going to get through I but I did. I often hear people say they crave it after years of quitting but I don't see how. The smell and thought of it is revolting. I heard a guy once say "I quit 100s of times before I actually quit" that gave me some inspiration. Also watching Terri hall (RIP) and Debbie Austin (RIP) service announcements helped me through this journey. Good luck guys!!!!
Day 52 cold turkey. I don't wake up feeling like crap anymore. No more troubles breathing and have been confidently jogging for almost a month now. At this point I barely think about it and when I do I only think of the progress I've made since.
Just quit smoking around 3 days ago..and everyone's body is different but I can already feel the health benefits. You literally feel this evil poison leave your body and it's also true that foods and smells intensify and go back to normal. The good things in life are good again! I'm 28 and had been smoking since I was 18. I quit cold turkey. Best thing I've ever done. Although I hope the weight gain thing isn't always true but not giving up for nothing. Thanks for this inspirational video!!
I have been smoke free for 6 days now. I feel so much better. I love the fact that I can walk without getting winded. My lungs are still recovering, but they're much better than they were this time last week.
keep it up , i'm 24 , been smoking since sixteen. ive got little brothers and sisters and ive been working on getting in shape so ive got a huge reason to get there. good luck and please don't give up!
I have had asthma since i was a kid, i started smoking at 13 years old, i quit when i was 24 in summer, after nearly dying from an asthma attack on a train, i forgot my inhaler at home and had a big attack :( but after 4 years of quitting i started again when i was 28 in the summer, im 29 now and just quit again ;) 2 days so far so good :))) I love life to much to throw it away over some little white sticks of smoke. I am not a slave to them, i control my life and i choose what i do with it :) I LOVE LIFEEEEEEEE!!!!
8 weeks and still quit :) I did it :) i got passed the first stages and now its all mental :) i have to remind myself every time smoking even crosses my mind, exactly how much my life means to me and how much i should appreciate this beautiful vessel given to me :) I should nurture this body just like i should nurture all life on this planet :) Love life and respect nature!
Yes :) since that day 4 months ago i havent smoked :) Im at the point where i actually hate the smell of it now, and i get angry when people smoke around me because the smell gets on my clothes :))))) Its such a Breath of fresh air to be able to breath normally, food tastes better but i go to gym everyday to keep my weight at a good level, i put on 4kilograms when i quit but when i realised i was putting weight on i went to gym, and lost it all again and carry on with gym and swimming everyday 5 days a week :) so happy i quit :)
It's been just 3 days but I'm really motivated, I don't think that I'm gonna smoke again..,all of the people around me smokes , but I'm not craving,even a little bit.. It's all about determination and self-control. Just don't make it big deal,quit it already !
I smoked 20-40 each day for nearly 4 years. I'm 21. I ditched the filthy toxins 5 days ago, and that was one of the best choices I've ever made. I'm feeling fantastic already! You have what it takes to stop! Try, try harder, just keep trying until you succeed. This was my 5th and final attempt. YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!
I quit as well, tomorrow is 100 days! Your only going to start feeling so much better. It gets worse before it gets better but just remember you can do it!
I am 21 and have been smoke free for 4 weeks! I quit because I work in retail and see people walk in and I automatically know they have been smoking for years. They smell like it, wrinkles, raspy voices, and I realized I never wanted to end up that way. Let me tell you, third day= BRUTAL. It was the day I hated everybody. Irritable, increased appetite, depressed, poopie problems, lol. By the fourth day my smell and taste was so much better! I wanted to eat and smell everything! Gained a good 1
I just followed you, I smoked for ten years, the last 5 years was the peak of it, like ten sticks a day and even more with friends during party with alcochol and beer. I quit 4 months ago and i had that anxiety on and off, headache on and off, breathing difficulty on and off. I suffered a lot after quitting. I also gained so much, now i am planningbto reduce weight.
I watch this video everyday. It is one of the only videos that gives me motivation on RUclips among the many other good vids. I think it has to do with the animations, but hey, anything to get off the worst addiction ever right? 45 days strong!
I feel ya. Hang in there though. I have been off them for only 26 hours now. I think the mental pain is starting to kick in now. I'm 33 and been smoking since I was 16. Keep up the great work you. 4 days is HUGE!!! Congrats, your doing really well.
Went cold turkey after 15 years of two packs a day, no counting days nor overthinking it. It was a little tough at first but easier than I expected, all I had to do is stay busy and take deep breaths whenever I felt a craving. Worked like a charm.
Today is my one week! Smoked for 7 years. After you realize how easy it is to quit you wish you could have done it sooner. Watching terrie hall has really helped me. If she quit after it was to late then I can quit while I have the chance.
Quit on November 15, 2012 (today's May 31, 2013). Had 6 and a half cigarettes in the time between, the last one's been by the beginning of April, but only until I realized what I was doing. Now I also quit drinking although I've never really drank much. Never really missed it, only sometimes I thought "I could use a cigarette right now" but nearly never gave in. I'm proud of myself because I always stood up while next to smokers and I don't think/hope I'm ever gonna return!
I was crazy smoker and my friends always bait on me that I shouldn't be able to quit smoking.... but now it's 7 days and counting....now only fresh air goes inside of my lungs and I can feel that
I've been smoke free for 12 months and I'm sure there's no drug so addictive as nicotine. Every day I pat myself on the back for havin another clean day :)
I quit smoking about 5 months ago and now the feeling is great,im breathing easier,work out esier and have no desire for cigaretes.thank you for this video
2 weeks to the day. Quit because I needed to free up some extra capital. I do not think that I will start again, I like how much better I feel in general. I still crave them, but I am sure my will is strong enough to resist.
Yes, I have been smoke free 6 months as of last week! Man it was not easy in the beginning. Still struggling, but it feels crazy that I haven't lit up a cigarette in 6 months
This kind of a video really encourages us; smokers, to stop smoking. All we want to hear is that the benefits if we quit, not like many videos that only tell us the bad effects if we are smoking. The world need to be more positive.
I've done the patch, I've done the pill, I've done the lozenges …. and I failed each and every time. Yesterday, I decided .. I'm just going to stop smoking, one day at a time and deal with whatever comes along. Yes, I've noticed a difference in my breathing and yes I feel 'better' … but the urges are still here. I'm going to keep putting food in my moth and drink LOTS of water …. I'm just tired of smoking and having to find a "place to smoke" in public arenas. I QUIT!
Have you noticed that if a smoker has said something bad about you, and you've responded with 'well, at least I don't smoke' you can't actually remember what they said in the first place, nor what they said in response? Scary.....
Day 3 into my quit not doing too badly. I like to drop by to this video when I get a craving if I can it always gives me a little boost, more so than the "this is bad!" videos.
Hi there, By my reckoning, you should have celebrated 100 days of no-smoking yesterday ...... I really hope you hit that milestone. Well Done !! When you were on 48 days, I was just starting out after 40 years of smoking - & "one day at a time" was all very well, but its painfully slow, before you start to feel some achievement. Now I'm fine, counting in weeks , rather than days, no patches, and never going to smoke again.. Thanks for the inspiration you gave me - when I needed it.
Day three here. Boiron Lobelia inflata 30c is really effective. I ordered Quit Tea from Amazon... I also have Allen Carr's The easy way to stop smoking. All of these things have great reviews and I believe in them. No nicotine products this time. I'm going to do it! I'm a much happier person these days, and I know that I'm loved and that will make a big difference. Good luck... or congratulations to you on your stopping smoking. Yay!!
Day 3 and I feel great! :) Reading Alen Carr's book is helping me realise that I don't have to be miserable about not smoking anymore. In fact I feel free from smoking. It is key to be upbeat when quitting. Last time I quit I was in the dumps about it all and was bouned to start smoking again. All the best to all of you. You can do it.
5 weeks and counting. Was dizzy for 2 weeks, because of adjusting to raised oxygen levels. One day of palpitations. Developed chronic cough, but it's diminishing. Taste and smell have returned. I've got a lot more energy these days. Two months mark, here I come.
I just started the quitting process and it's hard (obviously). I watch this video every single morning to help dissuade me from falling off the wagon and it does help.
I've been smoke free for 14 days now. I am taking the patch and gum. My cravings have gone down a bit. Before it was ALL day long I wanted one. Now, it's just here and there. My advice to those quitting: keep your mouth busy chewing gum, drinking water, inhaling through a straw, etc. It really really helps.
I smoked for 10 years but I've been stopped for 11 months now :) This video really helped give me some motivation about a year ago. When I wanted a cigarette, I'd just think of this!
I watched this video one year ago and it made me want to quit... WHICH I DID.. And now I feel GREAT! It gave me something to shoot for.. Thank you so much for inspiration!
Thanks mate. I kept my promise and quit on Xmas eve.. currently on about 72 hours without a cigarette :) This video is a really good motivation to watch again and again..
Been a smoker 10 years. I quit cold turkey 7 days ago. My intense cravings are now just minor annoyances. It got easier a lot faster than I thought it would. Still want a cigarette, but it's not painful now.
11 year 20 ciggs a day nicotine addiction.started when i was 15.been smoke-free for 1 week.this might as well be the worst week ever in ma life but i learnt a lot from this.beleieve me guys its the best feeling ever.cold turkey ftw! i used allen carr method.i dont know about others but it certainly worked for me.ty allen.rip
The thing to remember is 19 years and 8 months of those 20 years you feel pretty much normal, as before you started. The hard part is the first couple of weeks, then it drops every day until you stop crave any cigarettes at all.
this is a nice video, it gives me the goal, the first week though is absolutely terrible, but I know I can do it! Good luck guys trying to quit smoking, I know you can do it!
So I recently quit smoking and I'll run into people I know who smoke too. They'll offer me a smoke and I'll tell them I'm quitting and they'll go "Oh good job man..." while they roll their eyes in disbelief and then I'll respond, "it's been 20 days." Then their whole attitude changes from disbelief to, "Oh my god O.O BRAVO, we gotta get you on a talkshow ASAP!" It's a very satisfying feeling deep down to defy peoples expectations about you and it helps keep you motivated to keep defying them.
Thanks be to who ever made this video. I have used this video as my 'crutch' to help me quit. I am smoke free for a while. I reminded myself with every craving that feeling healthy is a better feeling than nicotine. my cravings lasted about 30 sec. After 2 months I had no more cravings. My motivation was simply waking up one random day and having thought of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. So to who ever made this video thank you very much. You were a staple to my success. Bless you
1 month, and my hair is thicker, skin looks better, more energy, more money! well worth it!
I've watched this probably hundreds of time, every time when I had cravings I watch this to give me a reasons why I shouldn't smoke and so far it worked. So far 3 weeks without smoking after 15 years of smoking and hundreds of fail quitting attempts. I will not going back there that's for sure
Its been one year now since i quit smoking! I did it....... I fuckin made it.
Good on you, Lex. I'm thinking that way and I'm only on day 3.
MrAsificare dont count the days, count the weeks. If you get cravings just drink loads of water, it sounds strange but it works. and keep reminding yourself that if you give in you have to start from zero days again. keep your days going up. starting from day 1 again would be a huge setback
congratulations man! today is the 7th day for me, so i've still got a long way to go!
This might sound strange but, if you want to quit smoking. Don't Tell Anybody!
Smoked my last cigarette. Good luck with everybody else. Just like another dude said. Pretend you never smoked.
Do not count days! That makes harder for you... Imagine that you've never ever smoked a single cigarette and that that's something you are not familiar with. Ensure yourself into this and be free...
U r right
true !
you are right for someone who hasnt smoked much..
But for people like me who are smoking 2 packs a day for more than 10 years, each day is a fight and the day count is our trophy. I feel proud . Its been 76 days for me now. I dont count, but i remember the date i left. I did count for a month though .
All the best to those who are early in the fight. Keep your resolve strong. This is your best decision ever..
6 months tobacco free!
Im closing in on 3 months without smokes and im feeling good. I wish you all a good luck with your quitting. I hope you all succeed. Lets live long together!
nearly seven weeks since I quit, after 30 years of heavy smoking. I feel fantastic!
i'm quit smoking and go to gym, now it's a year anniversary life without nicotine... i'm free, yeah :D
2 more months then it will be my second year anniversary of when i quit smoking! Cravings are totally gone, the chronic cough is gone, breathing is much more easier and better and i feel much healthier. Never ever smoking again.

Are you still smoke free this is my 8 day
1 month without smoking! What a change in my life! I'm feeling so energy
Its completely psychological. If you actually don't want to smoke, you wont actually want to smoke. Take control of your feelings, you are the controller of your mind and body!
3.5 days smoke free now, God help me! Did anyone else feel like they couldn't breathe when they quit smoking? It feels as though I have asthma! Can't catch my breath:(
Yes, it's okay! Don't give in ! Don't smoke, you can do this!
I can't wait to be completely free of this f*cking addiction! and i'm sure i won't fail!
Did you fail so far?
If you do just dust off and keep trying.
Yeah i failed after 3 months, but i've stopped now again for 4 :)
Sigert Ariens Good job brah.. Going to try to quit today just threw my pack away..
Hey man, I am on day 7 and I am irritable like a son of a bitch. One huge positive right now is that I am starting to taste things and breath a lot easier. I am also sleeping a lot.
4 months now. Feeling better than ever.
Just ask my bank account.
This video helped a lot in the beginning.
Good luck folks.
3rd day. Quit cold turkey.
Keep it up man, I'm past the three week mark and it's so exciting.

Fuck you the only way to quit is to just quit and stop smoking, a year smoke free for me...still have cravings though...
6 days without smoking. I only have cravings at night before I go to bed. Instead of thinking about smoking I go to the GYM and do HIIT trainings.. After one HIIT training you remember why you never want to smoke again. I reccomend it

20 years to back normal ? .. wow.. long journey for me.. i intend to start today.. :|
100 days smoke free! i love this video and i watch it alot.
213 days Tobacco Free
I am 21 and have been smoke free for 4 weeks! I quit because I work in retail and see people walk in and I automatically know they have been smoking for years. They smell like it, wrinkles, raspy voices, and I realized I never wanted to end up that way. Let me tell you, third day= BRUTAL. It was the day I hated everybody. Irritable, increased appetite, depressed, poopie problems, lol. By the fourth day my smell and taste was so much better! I wanted to eat and smell everything! Gained a good 1
I just followed you, I smoked for ten years, the last 5 years was the peak of it, like ten sticks a day and even more with friends during party with alcochol and beer. I quit 4 months ago and i had that anxiety on and off, headache on and off, breathing difficulty on and off. I suffered a lot after quitting. I also gained so much, now i am planningbto reduce weight.
Video helped me quit... watched prolly 50 times in the first three days.. thanks
Day 5 and i'm already a "holier than thou" ex smoker >_
I watch this video everyday. It is one of the only videos that gives me motivation on RUclips among the many other good vids. I think it has to do with the animations, but hey, anything to get off the worst addiction ever right? 45 days strong!
I feel ya.
Hang in there though. I have been off them for only 26 hours now. I think the mental pain is starting to kick in now. I'm 33 and been smoking since I was 16.
Keep up the great work you. 4 days is HUGE!!! Congrats, your doing really well.
Went cold turkey after 15 years of two packs a day, no counting days nor overthinking it. It was a little tough at first but easier than I expected, all I had to do is stay busy and take deep breaths whenever I felt a craving. Worked like a charm.
Today is my one week! Smoked for 7 years. After you realize how easy it is to quit you wish you could have done it sooner. Watching terrie hall has really helped me. If she quit after it was to late then I can quit while I have the chance.
Quit on November 15, 2012 (today's May 31, 2013). Had 6 and a half cigarettes in the time between, the last one's been by the beginning of April, but only until I realized what I was doing. Now I also quit drinking although I've never really drank much. Never really missed it, only sometimes I thought "I could use a cigarette right now" but nearly never gave in. I'm proud of myself because I always stood up while next to smokers and I don't think/hope I'm ever gonna return!
I was crazy smoker and my friends always bait on me that I shouldn't be able to quit smoking.... but now it's 7 days and counting....now only fresh air goes inside of my lungs and I can feel that
Now I'm on my 9th day. I watched this video on Day 1 and it gave me a lot of encouragement.
I've been smoke free for 12 months and I'm sure there's no drug so addictive as nicotine.
Every day I pat myself on the back for havin another clean day :)
14 weeks, 2 days, 13 hours and 14 mins.
YESS WE CAN !!!
I quit smoking about 5 months ago and now the feeling is great,im breathing easier,work out esier and have no desire for cigaretes.thank you for this video
This video keeps me motivated. Thank you!
Me too, keep on!
2 weeks to the day. Quit because I needed to free up some extra capital. I do not think that I will start again, I like how much better I feel in general. I still crave them, but I am sure my will is strong enough to resist.
7 mounths without smoking thanks to that video and i feel great !!!! BE STRONG QUIT SMOKING !!!!
1 week smokeless, smoked for 22 yrs. Stay strong ppl!
day 6 having a hard time today
I have stopped smoking since 11:15 pm , September 1, 2014. I feel much better now. A day worth to remember...
21 years old and smoking my "last" cigarette- wish me luck... See you in 20 years.
Yes, I have been smoke free 6 months as of last week! Man it was not easy in the beginning. Still struggling, but it feels crazy that I haven't lit up a cigarette in 6 months
thats great....im 6 months in too and feeling great.
I cried tho...
This kind of a video really encourages us; smokers, to stop smoking. All we want to hear is that the benefits if we quit, not like many videos that only tell us the bad effects if we are smoking. The world need to be more positive.
thank you for this. i just quit for the first time two weeks ago. i smoked for over twenty years. i watch this to help me
I feel you. im on day 4 today too, stay up! we can do this, its well worth it!
I'm going to quit smoking and start doing stamina exercises so I can pass the military intake, god help me
I somehow managed to pass on a pack a day meps isn't that hard.

I've done the patch, I've done the pill, I've done the lozenges …. and I failed each and every time. Yesterday, I decided .. I'm just going to stop smoking, one day at a time and deal with whatever comes along. Yes, I've noticed a difference in my breathing and yes I feel 'better' … but the urges are still here. I'm going to keep putting food in my moth and drink LOTS of water …. I'm just tired of smoking and having to find a "place to smoke" in public arenas.
I QUIT!
One year and a half later thanks for making this video it definitely helped me get through it :)
107 smoke free. what a wonderful feeling!
Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking saved my life three years ago and I've never looked back.
Have you noticed that if a smoker has said something bad about you, and you've responded with 'well, at least I don't smoke' you can't actually remember what they said in the first place, nor what they said in response? Scary.....
Day 3 into my quit not doing too badly. I like to drop by to this video when I get a craving if I can it always gives me a little boost, more so than the "this is bad!" videos.
Hi there,
By my reckoning, you should have celebrated 100 days of no-smoking yesterday ...... I really hope you hit that milestone. Well Done !!
When you were on 48 days, I was just starting out after 40 years of smoking - & "one day at a time" was all very well, but its painfully slow, before you start to feel some achievement. Now I'm fine, counting in weeks , rather than days, no patches, and never going to smoke again.. Thanks for the inspiration you gave me - when I needed it.
this video helped me quit more than anything else. just gone 6 weeks clean, feeling so much better for it.
Day three here. Boiron Lobelia inflata 30c is really effective. I ordered Quit Tea from Amazon... I also have Allen Carr's The easy way to stop smoking. All of these things have great reviews and I believe in them. No nicotine products this time. I'm going to do it! I'm a much happier person these days, and I know that I'm loved and that will make a big difference. Good luck... or congratulations to you on your stopping smoking. Yay!!
damn 2-4 weeks is suuuuuch a loooooong time for a quitter!!!
Day 3 and I feel great! :)
Reading Alen Carr's book is helping me realise that I don't have to be miserable about not smoking anymore. In fact I feel free from smoking. It is key to be upbeat when quitting. Last time I quit I was in the dumps about it all and was bouned to start smoking again. All the best to all of you. You can do it.
5 weeks and counting. Was dizzy for 2 weeks, because of adjusting to raised oxygen levels. One day of palpitations. Developed chronic cough, but it's diminishing. Taste and smell have returned. I've got a lot more energy these days. Two months mark, here I come.
I just started the quitting process and it's hard (obviously). I watch this video every single morning to help dissuade me from falling off the wagon and it does help.
I've been smoke free for 14 days now. I am taking the patch and gum. My cravings have gone down a bit. Before it was ALL day long I wanted one. Now, it's just here and there. My advice to those quitting: keep your mouth busy chewing gum, drinking water, inhaling through a straw, etc. It really really helps.
I smoked for 10 years but I've been stopped for 11 months now :) This video really helped give me some motivation about a year ago. When I wanted a cigarette, I'd just think of this!
there so many of us quiting hahahaha i feel soo happy
I watched this video one year ago and it made me want to quit... WHICH I DID.. And now I feel GREAT! It gave me something to shoot for.. Thank you so much for inspiration!
Nice, can't wait till I'm at one year (day 23 for me and I'm feeling awesome!)
Thanks mate. I kept my promise and quit on Xmas eve.. currently on about 72 hours without a cigarette :)
This video is a really good motivation to watch again and again..
Wow! Congrats! I am on day 32, but am wearing the patch. I am starting now to have faith in my quit that it will stick. I feel great!
thanks for sharing thistime line, I'm 9 months away from cigarets. This video was my motivation, many many thxs
Just checking back and I'm now on day 17! I beat it guys! I feel amazing and wish all of you can too!
Its easy to return to normal health, but you have to quit first. That's hard! Take my word for it.
Been a smoker 10 years. I quit cold turkey 7 days ago. My intense cravings are now just minor annoyances. It got easier a lot faster than I thought it would. Still want a cigarette, but it's not painful now.
It has been 3 werks since i stopped smoking :D
Feel soooo much better.
Greetings from Turkey ;)
i have been 1 week :D
feel sooo good, too!!
greetings grom Greece :)
11 year 20 ciggs a day nicotine addiction.started when i was 15.been smoke-free for 1 week.this might as well be the worst week ever in ma life but i learnt a lot from this.beleieve me guys its the best feeling ever.cold turkey ftw! i used allen carr method.i dont know about others but it certainly worked for me.ty allen.rip
my dad stop smoking 5 years ago thxs for this video :D
6 months smoking free! Just do it. I actually live healthier and happier. Thanks God to give me strength.
The thing to remember is 19 years and 8 months of those 20 years you feel pretty much normal, as before you started. The hard part is the first couple of weeks, then it drops every day until you stop crave any cigarettes at all.
5 days, the cravings aren't that bad, but the moodswings and panic attacks are like hell
this is a nice video, it gives me the goal, the first week though is absolutely terrible, but I know I can do it! Good luck guys trying to quit smoking, I know you can do it!
So wonderful to be an non-smoker!
quiting is not as easy as thought, but the good news is that one can achieve that.
my second day without smoking! yeaaaah its not hard like they say
So I recently quit smoking and I'll run into people I know who smoke too. They'll offer me a smoke and I'll tell them I'm quitting and they'll go "Oh good job man..." while they roll their eyes in disbelief and then I'll respond, "it's been 20 days." Then their whole attitude changes from disbelief to, "Oh my god O.O BRAVO, we gotta get you on a talkshow ASAP!" It's a very satisfying feeling deep down to defy peoples expectations about you and it helps keep you motivated to keep defying them.
Thanks be to who ever made this video. I have used this video as my 'crutch' to help me quit. I am smoke free for a while. I reminded myself with every craving that feeling healthy is a better feeling than nicotine. my cravings lasted about 30 sec. After 2 months I had no more cravings. My motivation was simply waking up one random day and having thought of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. So to who ever made this video thank you very much. You were a staple to my success. Bless you
