Beautiful!! Thank you both so much. I am empowered by your conversation, especially in understanding better the mental aspects and learning to create distance between my thoughts and myself. To relax and let time pass - so simple but revolutionary! The word that came to mind is surrender… a hard concept to put in practice but I believe a truly skillful means. I loved the story about the little bird Terri! Trust your heart and intuition. Blessings to you both and many thanks for your generous sharing. It helps so much to feel that I am in good company on this journey of self discovery and healing. I will begin again with the program and follow it to the letter, to the best of my ability.
Thank you for sharing! Teri is absolutely amazing and shared big lessons in such an elegant way. You're definitely in good company and we're here to help you succeed!
I watched her video here and I stopped my sigi I’m 6 days free today
I smoked 20 years
Hi! I watched your ted talk, it gave me the right mindset to resist the temptations if smoking making it more effective for me to resist.. I followed your advise of throwing the pack of cigarettes I had and it became the first step that made me think "I'm really doing this".. I just started smoking a year an a half ago, and I know it's not that long compared to others.. But I knew I had to quit as early as I could.. The first 48 hours were really unbearable and the lack of nicotine really made me feel like I'm gonna go insane.. your videos helped me to stay on track. It's been a week and I feel alot better, there are some mental urges here and there, but the physical twitching and uneasiness when I don't light a cigarette is now gone.. I'll do my best to be consistent and have this going for long term. Thank you so much, this would've been much muuuuccchh harder if it weren't for your videos
Congratulations to you Mark! You're doing great, keep at it! 🎉 For those remaining mental urges, I highly recommend watching all of the video above as Teri is sharing exactly how to beat them!

This is my favorite "Ask an Ex" - Teri, thank you so much for sharing your story! I felt I could relate to it on many levels when I first saw it (think that was before I even signed up for the program). I kept thinking that if it could work for you, and you genuinely seem so happy, then maybe it can also work for me, having unsuccessfully tried many times before, using many of the same methods you did. I did the program and was thinking that maybe I'm using willpower instead of mind power, so I remembered and rewatched your video and feel much better about letting the thoughts pass! Thank you CBQ & thank you, Teri!
