All we can do is hope for the best. Maybe he'll come back with another update at some point but normally when you've escaped a death trap for that long you never look back. And if you give in again one day then it only gives you that much more motivation to leave it behind for good the next time you do

Am just 8 days and my face looks so young, my lips just like way back at high school. I breath with ease, and weak up with a lot of energy. There is nothing like reducing on the number of cigarettes per day. Just cut completely the nicotine stream flow and hold it tight with the aftermath.

I gave up alcohol 6 weeks ago when I was in hospital, I quit smoking while I was in, done 2 weeks and relapsed today I cut up a whole pack of cigarettes to small pieces and cut up the box they were in, it was so satisfying, shoved a patch on my bum and not smoked all day. I have done it for my health.

I'm on day 52 and smoked for 42 years around 35 cigarettes a day. I can't wait until I no longer miss it. Even after more than 7 weeks it gives you a missing hollow feeling, cravings about 30 times a day and methods of cooping with the cravings. I started with hard candy, working my way up to deep breaths as though I was inhaling a bunch of fresh air. I expect it to continue to get a little easier as I go, time will tell.
One of those you have to want to... ☆ If your thinking of quitting your on your way. Keep trying to quit for Good , dont give up trying to quit ♥️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏻♀️♥️

I stopped about 5 weeks ago, after two weeks I started cleaning everything, I am overdoing it and sometimes nearly break down but I just remind myself how sick I was before that, had no energy, its tears and sadness, nearly bought some cigarettes, I walked into a shop were someone was smoking, it smelled horrid, I was so thankfull to that person for letting me see myself, I left with a strange feeling, I felt disgust for behaving like that . Now I just get up and go and do something , even if its just filling the washing maschine or covering a bed with fresh sheets.

Praying does not help, I think we are punished that we started it in the first place , for ones in your life you have to LOVE YOURSELF its so difficult its unbelieveable.
It's not meant to seam easy or hard. We all will have our own journey and demons. Write down the 4 steps to quitting. 1. Contemplation of choosing to quit. 2 Preparation, trying to get ready to quit. 3 Action, the actual quitting part. 4. Maintaining- remaining a non-smoker, while always remembering the efforts ( 50-100 days of hard work ) that get thrown away when having to start over. It takes 3 days for nicotine to leave your system, so don't struggle with those methods that keep feeding you nicotine, constantly maxing out your cravings. Cravings will pass in like 5 to 10 minutes, just don't give in to them. When cravings come take many deep breaths over and over, as though you were dragging deep on a cigarette but all you get is lungs full of fresh air. Find hard candies that you like, chewing gum, chew on a piece of straw, what ever it takes to get you through. Also keep in mind that even if you have to start over, it's way better than failing.
Thanks for sharing. 😀
Amazing video :)

el cabong There is no such thing as "Confirmed Smoker". Stopping smoking is easy, whether you believe it or not i smoked my last cigarette on May 21st 2020. All you need to do is correct your thoughts 💭 associated with smoking. You will stop smoking like me if you attend Allen Carr's Easyway seminar for sure. 🙂
