I’m six years off cigarettes, you were a HUGE help to me. Thank you!

We love you Chris❤️ you’re a great inspiration, bless your kind heart. Wish you the best and hope you’re staying healthy and kind to yourself Greeting from Germany

I'm just so grateful you're alive and ok

Chris you don't owe anyone here an apology. You've worked so hard over the years and been so amazingly helpful to so many people. None of that is lost, it's still all there! I'd love you to use your channel as a diary, it's your authentic self that's drawn us here and will continue to do so.❤️ I'm so happy that you've found happiness with Melissa and it's no surprise how much of an upheaval it's been for you, anyone would struggle with that amount of change! Sending loads of good wishes to you and Melissa!x

Thank you for this video. Thank you, Chris, for being you--open and vulnerable. You don't owe us anything, but I am so thankful for you helping me on my journey to quit smoking. I've gained a little weight and my self esteem has taken a hit too. I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Welcome to America!

I thought he looked great too! Love the long hair.😊

Chris, I just stumbled upon your KZread channel because I have to quit smoking. I am terrified because several health conditions have resulted from smoking. I think I at least partially understand your difficulties right now as I have just undergone massive and traumatic change in my life with leaving an abusive marriage and having no real emotional support, struggling to find an affordable place to live, having to cope with complex trauma, losing my old identity. And now health problems. Major change, even good change, is hard! It's psychologically hard! Your honesty touched me and brought me to tears. Please don't give up on you. (I try to tell myself this too.) They say,"Don't give up before the miracle happens" My miracle could be quitting smoking, healing my body, and finding some kind of a new life. I'm at a crucial crossroad. I hope that I can quit with the help of your videos instead of a very expensive hypnotherapist. (Which I am considering ) Whenever you are able to work through your life changes and feel sufficiently healed and rested, I hope that you will consider coaching. I feel that you would do very well. But first heal yourself. I pray that as time goes by, these difficulties will dissolve away and you will feel alive and renewed!

Glad to see you Chris!

Great seeing you back! You'll get it back together, just believe in yourself we have faith in you! TFS! Looking forward to more videos, stay well! 🙏

I’m sure we would all love to go on this journey with you. I have been burying my head in the sand too.. because of anxiety and HUGE life changing circumstances. I will run and walk ALL day long to keep my head in the sand and it’s not healthy… and I shut down. So unpack away…. Maybe it will help me too. Glad to see you and congrats on Melissa.. and welcome to the states.. GA here (:

No need to apologize! What was best about your book was that it was just frank advice from "some bloke" who had accomplished what I have been struggling with for years. Will likely watch whatever you put up here.

Just seeing this now. No need to apologize, Chris -- you are human, and you've gone through a tremendous amount of MASSIVE life changes. While listening to you, I resonated 💯. I would feel very much the same. So glad to see you again, and congratulations on finding your wife, Melissa. Glad she encouraged you to get back to KZread. I think it will help you with your mental health and self-care, because it is allowing you to connect and get it all out of your head. Never giving up on you, Chris! You're not alone in these struggles. You can always just make videos about what you're dealing with. Doesn't have to be about quitting smoking anymore. You have a community here who loves and supports you ❤

Welcome back Chris, in whatever shape or form... it 's all appreciated as being real rather than polished or perfect🌻

I consider you my friend because you're so honest and sincere. You have nothing to be sorry about. People have things that come up. There is nothing wrong with rehashing an old video with a twist. I was on a business trip in New Orleans and I made time to participate in you're live podcast. I quit smoking cigarettes from December to May. Stoped again from Nid May to July 4th. got the total knee replacement operation on June 9th. One of my Doctors made me take my Nicotine Patch off. That was a Big Mistake. I'm smoking a pack a day again. I have some Nicotine Patches and I have to re-talk myself into quitting smoking yet again. If anyone knows about life changes. Chris, I'm happy that you have a significant other. You're extremely lucky. I'm in the Love business and I'm single. I blew some good opportunities, but I'm not giving up. Hopefully something will go your way. I wish you good love. Your best attribute is that you're brutally honest. Maybe you can get a degree online, so you can be a therapist again. I believe in you. People need your good Vibes. You helped me and Thousands of People. You're an Expert in your field of helping people! You're a Real Hero!

Connect with your inner child. Through a guided meditation. I’ve had to that work first in order to successfully have a good life.

You remind me so much of myself mate, character-wise. You were my quit smoking pal for years. I love your content. I'm not implying you're depressed, but I suffered a decade long existential depression which I still manage on a daily basis, although I have learned to co-live and tame the demons that haunt me. The issue stems from our creativity- Creatives are constantly in turmoil and anxious and trying to escape the world: We can't though, so we create our own worlds, be it via painting, composing, substance-abuse or writing. I have a gorgeous fiancée too that has been not only my lover but also my emotional "caretaker" for 13 years... Your partner sounds like this and we attract special muses into our lives. You're clearly an artistic type (this is obvious by the way you communicate). I restarted smoking again a few months ago and was about to look you up again to rewatch the series, which I will now. Please don't consider meds mate, this is totally conquerable using your own will, more so given you have dealt with the cigarette fiend in the past. Sending you a huge hug, stay strong, you're fucking awesome. Drop us a guitar lick Chris, who knows, we may jam together one day. Peace and keep doing your thing.

Please don’t ever feel that way Chris I have watched your videos for four solid years probably a year and a half before I was able to quit the whole entire time I quit and ever since I’ve quit you save my life and I’m sure many other peoples as well for real keep going if you can at all do it. You are a wonderful person. I’m so glad your wife understands the help that you have given people you have literally saved peoples lives you save mine. Thank you jan

Perhaps you are missing your purpose. A job. A passion. Making money and doing something you care about every day is a big factor in being happy and stress free. I say that, because that is what I am currently dealing with. I'm job hunting but more than that I'm looking for my purpose in life. Just do videos about whatever is on your mind. Do vlogs. We love hearing from you and just seeing you. I relate a lot to you. I'm a British transplant living in California. Going through self esteem struggles and looking for my purpose. I remember your video ( and loved it) where you talked about going on vacation to America and being so happy there. Then being depressed when you came home. I had the same experience. When I went to America, it felt like freedom and it felt like I'd "made it". But, that didn't last. If I'm honest, I'm not here for the quitting smoking vlogs. I'm here for your personal vlogs about life and such.

chris i look forward to your videos about you getting your life back together ,im right there with you!!! please please do this i need to see someone in my situation and i want to do this with you, getting my life on track

You're awesome Chris, don't forget that ❤

I found your videos for the first time today, and as a result I have just thrown my tobacco products in the bin 👊🏻 that is my new journey for the next while thanks to you. For you, when the time is right, you will blast up like a pheonix out the ashes to share your mental health insights and help others to blast out of the darkness as well. By making this video you have taken the first step to getting there…sending peace and positivity to help you along this journey🧡 you got this

I hope this comment finds you in a better place in your journey. Congratulations on your marriage, new family and home. I think if you’ve said everything you genuinely had to say on quitting smoking then make peace with leaving that as a series in your life you’ve completed. It exists in your videos and book forever and now you can move on to whatever calls you without pressure of trying to create in a space you no longer connect with. That doesn’t mean you’re not continuing to help. Your videos are there for those searching. Feel free to create content without bounds. Take care.

Well said.

Hi Chris 👋 glad you ok from Cape Town. I believe the followers here are here to help you too. Congrates on marriage. You had to make lots changes. Hang in there. When you ready. We are here. Yep thanks again Chris for all your videos.

Chris I am so proud of you. For making this video I know it's not been easy for you. But I'm getting back on track with you too today is the first day of my quit. Good for you my friend

You don’t owe anybody anything, keep your life moving and enjoy everyday. What you have created has been honest and comforting and really helped me through my quitting journey as with so many others, know your work was appreciated, 5 years smoke-free now🎉

Chris, we all knew you were on your journey and all of us who followed and subscribed to your chanel certainly understands and are happy for you! I must say that I am so happy to see you again, though!

Almost 1 month since quitting. I’m so glad and grateful I found your channel. Please continue with the videos within your own pace. Your channel is truly inspiring and genuine. I also suffer from anxiety. It comes down to over sensitized nervous system caused by stress. Please read this if you haven’t yet. “self help for the nerves” a fantastic Book by Dr Claire Weekes.

You are amazing person, and you shouldn’t feel sorry for not making the videos over the last 1 year, because you still got the talent to show us all how to get out of difficult situations. We love you too ! When is the next video? Very curious about it 😊

I know just how you feel because I feel the same. Most of our problems are mental. Hard to get rid of those demons. I can relate to you. I will pray for you and myself. These anxious feelings must come to an end without drugs and/or cigarettes and alcohol. If you read this I just want t you to know I lost both of my children and depression is at an all time high. I try to self medicate but I am not very good at that. I wish you peace in your heart. I feel my health is declining because of smoking (my right leg hurts tremendously). Sometimes I just want to leave this earth. God bless you for all of your unrecognized help to your audience.

Glad you’re back! Found you several months ago as I quit smoking for a month; so helpful 🙏💜 returning home my house had been completely ripped off, and I started again. But this video is lovely; you’re so real and vulnerable. You’ve turned your world upside down; choose compassion for the self even when you’re not feeling particularly proud of your current rhythm and patterns. When it comes to loving ourselves it’s a choice. It’s not quite the same as loving another. Hopefully you’ll use your gifts as a Lifecoach. Many don’t want to go to a therapist as they must assign a diagnosis that can follow them around for the rest of their lives! Anyway, glad you’re back. Thanks for your raw candor 🧡💚💙

So nice to see you Chris,so many love your videos lots of new subscribers,You make people believe in themselves😊🌹

Hey Chris! I read “quit smoking and be happy”. Excellent book its helping me quit. I recommend Chris’s book to anyone starting their quit smoking journey and those have recently relapsed

Thanks so much for making this video - your videos helped me stop smoking just over a year ago and it's great to know you're still around. Congrats on your marriage :)

Thank you Chris, take care of you too!! You've helped me a lot to quit smoking, your positive attitude is contagious, also we're all human with hights and lows and challenges :)

Sorry to hear you've been struggling, but it's good to see you back. I actually went back to watch one of your videos about quitting alcohol recently when I had my first wobble of temptation in 7 months, and it inspired and helped me to stay on the right path. :) It's good to hear you've been getting back to your exercise and other productive routines. I always enjoyed seeing you out and about in nature during your videos. Which also inspired me to start my own regular nature walks when I quit drinking (almost 3 and a half stone lost now since the 15th February). That said, my own healing journey is still somewhat of an emotional roller-coaster, and I haven't managed to quit smoking yet, but one thing at a time. And when I do quit smoking, I now know how best to approach it and will be going back to watch your videos. I'd certainly be interested to see you do videos that aren't specifically related to quitting smoking. And I agree that a lot of the information relates to many things in life, mental health issues, self-care, etc. So I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos and wish you all the best. :)

❤ along for any journey and thoughts you feel like sharing

Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had been worried about you. Life can be tough... Tougher at times, especially for those of us who suffer with depression and anxiety. And you moved to a new country! I hope you are enjoying married life and that you come to like living here. (I'm in Mississippi). I can't imagine the adjustments you are going through. Please don't be so hard on yourself. So what if you've gained weight or haven't been working out? We weren't watching you for your beauty 😊.. we watched because you seemed sincere and you really did help people, and you can again! Hey, I'm 2 weeks smoke free and Alot of that credit goes you you and your videos! Thank you. I can understand the burnout of the smoking videos, but we'll probably watch no matter what you talk about. We've grown to care about you. I personally suffer from severe depression and severe panic disorder. I also don't love myself. Those are just a few ways you could help yourself by helping others like me. Sometimes, taking the focus off of ourselves and helping others is the best therapy we can do for ourselves. Thanks again for coming on. Good bless you. Hope to see you back again soon.

Mate, I found your videos like 2 weeks ago. Still use em everyday to get through my own champix journey. You have a great back-catalouge of work, which you have amassed. If like me, the person quitting is otherwise self-reliant, these videos have been enough. It's all I as a viewer has known, and yet you help out a tonne, so I guess thank you from the future, past chris

For the past week I've been thinking of you so I decided to pray for you. I had watched your videos before and it helped my mindset, however I didn't take that leap to quit. Today I woke up really early and said I'm needing help cause I'm ready to quit. Woo Hoo and you're Back! Even tho you're not ready for all that, it's ok. I love what you just shared, because it's your testimony and it's freeing you to move forward!! I'm chuffed that you're here on my notifications this morning Chris!!! Thank you so much for taking that leap! Just breathe, it'll be alright❤. Congratulations on your marriage and becoming a Dad😊. We're here for you. Your testimony will be a honest to goodness platform for you, and for us to learn. It's simply Real Life, thank you so much for being humble and courageous! Don't doubt yourself, you were born to be a Good Leader! God bless you from Saskatchewan, Canada ❤

For some a rainy day is miserable and to some it's peaceful. The same day, many different perspectives. Just like how you said to think of the withdraws as the toxic chemicals leaving your body, rather than think about how uncomfortable the feeling is, which makes the experience more bearable and rewarding. You changed my perspective and it's helping me. So maybe I can help you by changing your perspective. You are starting a new and better life, and the anxiety and fear you feel are the toxic feelings you've stored up over time that are now leaving your body. :)

Chris ! Im back nearly 3 years quit, stopping by to say Hi and Thanks again ! You were the sole human that helped me quit 🙌🙌🙌 Dec 20 2023 will be 3 years🎉🎉🎉 you the man Chris and you don’t owe anybody an apology , but if it makes you feel better , then kudos. Thanks brother 🎉

I was so happy to see you again, and so sad you've been feeling down. You deserve the best, you have helped so many people, now help yourself. Actually I wish there was something we could do to help YOU, other than typing our support and sending big hugs. And this: "I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened." Please be happy and well!

Hello Chris, great to see you back. I have looked for you countless times for encouragement in my quit smoking journey but that’s OK. I’m just glad you’re back and that you’re OK and it was becoming very concerning as to what happened to you with. Thanks to you I quit smoking December 20, 2020 I have smoked Chris for over 40 years. It’s only because of you and your videos that I was able to quit. I am so happy that you got married and that you are happy. I’ve prayed for you many times I will continue to that you have health and the things that you need in your life. I look so forward to hearing about the rest of your life. Thank you so much. God bless you and your wife jan.

Take care of you!!! Can't wait to hear from you again! Know that even without new quit smoking content, you're still helping people everyday!

5 Years cigaretfree! Chris, your videos really helped me a lot the first days, never got back to smoking! Quitting was easyer than i thought. thx!

I am glad for this video and glad that you are ok. I discovered your videos about two months ago. I used to wonder why you are not posting any more videos. Now I know... All the best with this new phase in your life.

Great to see you, Chris! Take Care ❤

Welcome back, Chris. 3 years smoke-free and you have been a great inspiration. Thank you, Chris! And oh, you are looking so good.

Your real ..what we need!Glad your ok..we all missed ya!

Thank you so much chris i wouldn't be where i am today if it wasn't for your help thanks so much 😊

@laco9827 Awe that's divine timing indeed and thank you. All things are possible and happen at the right time. I am learning in recovery from substances that thinking first and doing is an old behaviour through prayer- talking to God the universe source etc I am starting to understand the practice of thinking and pausing as I alwsys lose my Nicotine Freedom not going away and thinking about it. Got to 4pm today after a week relapse from 7 weeks. Tomorrow is a new day. The plus side I didn't vape at all today. You can do this. Learn the lessons and I now don't beat myself up this in itself and the high expectations I've come to realise I have can be nutured with bags of compassion. Much love and thank you for message 🙏🏾 3 months today 30 June I lost my 15 months and 3 months till Christmas mmm what a gift to myself if I pause more with the divines help I can choose this way let's see. It ain't a race but freedom is incomparable in my experience to smoking and it gets easier for sure with time x

Hey Chris just recently bought your book and been watching your videos..look after yourself and great to see you back on screen again..hope to see you again soon for updates 🙏

Hope you feel better soon and good to see you back. You helped me stop smoking 5 years ago and I thank you for that. I have started again recently as I was suffering with health problems and smoking somehow as made it better and I'm content with smoking now and understand my body needs it in some way. So thanks again and keep ya head up and just remember we are here for a good time not a long time.

My last cigarette was sept 5th of 2019. I watched the crap out of all of your videos back then and they were so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much man. You are an awesome human,you are definitely not just a "bloke" lol I have full confidece that you will find your path in contuining help people,you truly have a gift my friend. We are all rooting for you!

Yay!!! So happy to see you (((:

There is something about you …. Will appreciate hearing how you are working through your current struggles as that is real life and we can all learn from each other in that arena of life. I’m much older at 63 and still struggle with how to maintain peace. The least not being that I still have not stopped smoking and have serious health issues. The good in you that you are struggling to see is right there where we can see it. Keep fighting the good fight - we will be here when you are ready to share if you decide to. Thank you for all you have given of yourself up to this point.

Your so authentic and I love it! I’m so incredibly happy for you. Your videos had helped me to quit nicotine. You deserve to be happy you really do! Your living the dream ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow genuinely thankful to see u back brother God bless u 🙏

Praying 🙏you are in a better place now beautiful soul. Wow! Lots of major changes in your life that sound wonderful yet are major changes nonetheless beautiful soul that can create a ton of underlying stress especially if you stopped doing what you were doing that worked to help stabilize your baseline? Doing the self work alone and maintaining your work vs in a family situation is extremely different, not impossible, especially since you sound as if you may be an empath as well? Self love ❤️ is SO much harder for empaths, definitely can relate to that along with hitting limiits prior to realizing it. It's in our nature to give to others. Please 🙏 show yourself some grace as you work through this, understand your whole life has changed even if it's good changes it's still loads of major life changes. Some of this is in the general underlying energy that you may be picking up on and taking on yourself without realizing it? It took a lot of courage to bear your soul to your viewers, I applaud you and have faith that everything is working out the way it's supposed to for ours and others highest good even when we're feeling like a crispy critters that's been hit by a bus flattened on the side of the road as we're figuring things out. No shame in reaching out for help our friend, as I mentioned on another beautiful souls channel even the greatest of teachers need support along the way. While stoicism can be wonderful and has it's place if not careful it can inadvertently keep one stuck in the mud adding to confusion especially if one bypassed further inner work that needs to be done for the next leg of our journeys. My best advice is to keep it simple sweetie (Kiss) and go back to the basics of what you were doing. Find other men to talk to if possible whose been where you are who has what it sounds like you want, a healthy marriage. You are welcome to reach out to me as well in case I can be of assistance? The energy you were in, may still be in, is excruciating. Please 🙏 remember you're not alone, there are good people out there that truly wish you and your beautiful new family nothing but ☮️❤😁 and other highest forms of abundance 🙌

I only discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, andI feel so motivated already. This is day one again for me as I relapsed with cigarettes and alcohol yesterday. I have a KZread channel so I really understand what you say about content etc. Thank you Bro ❤

I am sticking around Chris. We love you. This is honest to god the most raw and honest expression I've ever experienced and I'm so touched. It's so real and human which I really appreciate. You owe us nothing only everything you post is a blessing. Xoxo

Your courage and articulation is so beneficial. Your work here will stand. Your direction will be clear in time. Thanks for helping me quit multiple times! So many people owe you their health.

Welcome back Chris.. great work plz keep it up

Welcome back. Please, don't feel pressured. We're here and a lot of us know exactly what it is to feel overwhelmed by life. All the best!

The content making slog is just that- a slog! Live your life. You have great videos and a great book. You’re done. What else is there? 😂. Happy to see your face tho!

Chris .. among everybody iv ever seen on internet .. i enjoy listening to your videos the most .

So good to see you again! Congratulations on your marriage! I can totally understand your feelings…Moving and being married is so stressful. You are a very strong man; you haven’t turned to alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes to cope. I know that you will always make the best of your life! We all love and appreciate you! Take care, Chris! 🫶🏼🤲🏼🤘🏼

I'm so happy to see you again! Congrats on the marriage.🎉 You are in the U.S. now! So much to see and do. Wish you all the success and happiness in the world! 😊

Hi Chris, hey I’m thanking you for giving me such a lovely surprise this morning - to see and hear that you’ve made a video-I missed you! I totally understand everything that you’re saying, and that you had said everything that you knew about quitting smoking. That is a huge thing to continue doing more and more videos. Congratulations to you & Melissa 🎉❤ xx You have heaps of new life changes and added anxieties, and I do think that you will find your way and you’ll find yourself again. Sorry for this long message! I love that your “Just a bloke” and you have made so much sense and I genuinely think your video is your next new chapter. I’ll keep a look out for you! Thank you Linda x P.s the end of August I’ll be celebrating 4 years of freedom! Yay!

If anything I owe you gratitude for being one of the people giving me the power to stop smoking on my 2nd quit in January 2023. Unfortunately I relapsed after a month with intermittent stopping and starting. I have the channel bookmarked and I often go back and watch repeat videos when inspired to attempt the 3rd, and hopefully, final quit (which isn't happening yet). I first quit in January 2022 with the help of other anti-smoking content creators but relapsed after 2 months or so. I discovered your channel later in the year. The advice you give is gold standard. I haven't watched all your videos yet so I can still look forward to watching new ones when ready to permanently quit again.😉Top man. Look after yourself and take it easy!😎

You never walk alone with helping your heart❤️

New sub here ~ somehow I came across you while wandering around the web looking up SEO for my private practice (esp how and why the hell does Pinterest matter) and damn, am I ever glad. This is the first video I’ve watched and I’m taken by your honesty and bravery to make this video, even if you aren’t looking into the smartphone camera. Be afraid and do it anyway “do it scared” is my 2024 motto. Absolutely hate it, and working on it every fucking day. All this preamble to say- thank you for making this video. It’s touched a place in me & im not quite sure exactly where. You shook hands with fear, that’s for sure. My fear that is. I’m not a quit smoking person - decisions, and the unpacking of shit that’s brought me here. Brilliant video. I’m looking forward to learning about you being a therapist here in the US. Cheers!

I'm here and I wanna stick around 🏵️ happy you're back

Also your complexion is glowing ❤

You are honest, real and raw. I think that is why people are drawn to you. No need to apologize for being human. I really love your videos.

I use to watch you when i quit. Its two years smoke free for me.

Welcome Back Chris

I love you for this.❤

Thank you for this video, one of the most important phrase every thing happens for a reason, smoking is just one aspect of the mental health Portillo. Journaling for personal growth, mindfulness and actually living a purposeful life. Things happen and we evolve and transform over time. I am a support worker, Counsellor and Life Coach, we all have points in our lives where we just put things we can deal with under the stairs with Harry. I started a relationship, after 5 years, I came up with workshops, that had some fab results, I began a men’s help community club, where we ride motorcycles, I exercise and do bushwalking with a rucksack. We will continue to wish you the best, and don’t feel you have let us down. You are human, and stuff happens, there is no right or wrong answer, just go with the flow. Listen to vinyl ride your gravel push bike some where fun, cook a great meal, I have again given up smoking its day 1 for me, I will have my work cut out but that’s ok. Stay strong think outside the box.

Hey Chris, In 2020, your videos helped me get free from addiction. I just came back to get links for some loved ones and saw this touching video. Please keep speaking and sharing about your own life. The quitting videos are still there and we owe you a debt for how much they've helped us. Your audience cares for your wellbeing, please know that. Bless you, brother.

Your inspiring experiences changed my life Chris. I was a 3 pack a day smoker for 30 years and based on your videos I challenged myself to go Cold-turkey and now over 4 years later I am clean and healthy and smokefree. You are a legend in the quitting smoking genre on KZread. It is high time you expand your reach and start doing quit vaping videos as well as quit smoking videos and start bringing in ex smokers and interviewing them via zoom and add that content to your channel. You should showcase your positive results. It would probably generate more traffic to your channel and give you the credit you deserve. Possibly do anti smoking/anti vaping seminars at local high schools. Just all food for thought. The key to growing your channel and your followers is you. Hit the streets and interview smokers and invite them to quit with you. Maybe you can turn your book into a quit smoking course on teachable or LearnWorlds. Don't sell yourself short Chris-You Make a Difference in the world! It's time for you to build your channel and hit 25K subscribers. Sometimes in life you gotta go 5 steps backwards before you bounce back and go 2 steps forward. Even when u had your relapse u came roaring back. We are all with you Chris. You make a positive difference in all of our lives! Helping all of us kick a highly destructive habit is a worthwhile endeavor. My lungs thank you for taking on such a noble mission. Whatever happened, dust off your boots and get back in the game, you got alot more people to save brother.

Chris, I watched your videos, I bought your book and followed you on youtube and I identified with you. I was excited for your studies and I whooped when you got your qualification. I'm finally reading your book this evening. I wondered how you were. I found this clip. Yet again I found myself saying "I go into my cave too." I'm going to try another quit. Your vids are still relevant. Don't apologise for living your life. You didn't abandon us. You completed that part of your work. I'm glad you found love and followed your heart. Keep doing the inner trudging and I'll do the same. ❤

Chris I just wanted to thank you for helping me to aspire to be a better person each day! By the way the guitars are super cool, would love to jam with you sometime

every thing you now can enjoy and could not before without smoking is good new video theme, id like to see you film yourself in various situations that now have a new charm for you sober

You are good at what you do, trust in yourself. Confidence is key.

Hey bro , you do what you can , you offer what you can , it’s super compilatioing coming in to a ladies world , just when you thought you had control on your on life lol , yerrr bullies move , I like your honesty. I hate myself for trying to justify buying cigs when I’m a single dad of 2 living in a tiny house I built in nz when the money is desperately needed elsewhere you’re helping me make better decisions. I think like me you tube was never the money maker but a way to help others like mine jeff s but you are a great person, maybe you should celebrate this and not let anyone pull you down, if they do hosnety move on I think you are strong enough bro

Happy with any content you make

Blimey Chris go easy on yourself. It doesn't matter how much time passes between videos, nobody expects anything from you and there's no contract! It's up to YOU what you do. Take it easy fella.
