That is was EASIER than she thought it would be.
yes!@@fwwl75
Thank you for sharing your story Mary; I am just over one year free from nicotine (cigarettes for years, followed by vaping for years). This programme and people like you have helped me escape the slavery of nicotine. Thank you all so much - it’s so lovely to be in the clean club with you all. If an unexpected expense comes up now, I don’t fret - I just say to myself, « I can cover that with my (present & future) nicotine savings » ❤ Thank you again x
@@ciararespect4296if you're serious about quitting and actually make the decision, yes.
You can quit smoking for 20 years like Mary did, but unless you learn how to quit properly by changing the way you feel about smoking, your craving mind can sneak up on you anytime.
I’ve been smoke free for 13 months and going strong! 💙
I just Quit smoking after 23 years of smoking. Today is just 12 days. Craving like crazy😢it's mostly feeling and minds too.
But i decided to fight the feeling hopeful i will be stronger. And I'm going to save every after 3days the amount of money i used to buy the cigarette. Because i want to see hopeful in a year how much i will get 🙏
Since I started to eat fish chicken and turkey I cut down on cigars I gained a little more weight about 5lbs. In a month I still workout for occupying my cravings
I'm getting more ready because of this video. It seem that I need to want it more and just try. I get discouraged easily and smoke because of it.
I just came back to watch your message 😅
I quit smoking for 15 years then was going through a rough patch 😢 Now I'm having a hard time quitting again and can't afford a program and my husband won't quit smoking so I'm worried about that .
What sort of investment does this method require?
*4 months without smoking*
Hair thinning from last two years
Last 4 year history,
1st year - 3-4 cigarettes per day
2nd year - 3-4
3rd year - 4-5
4th year - 5-7 cig per day ( i am a 29 year old boy, last year i had too much depression, frustration, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, personality disorder, gender confusion or more specifically this is gender dysphoria which is HARD TO ACCEPT)
*I think these 2 are the reasons for hair thinning, will i get my hair back?*
My psychologist helped me in 2 sessions, and she helped me, and now My health is much better after quitting smoking, (i have left that city and have moved back to my hometown😊) ,,, my skin looks better, i am able to do exercise and able to focus on studies,
Yes hair will grow back thicker. Eat lots of animal foods and healthy animal fats and maybe take some zinc picolinate 25mg a day. Your hair will grow back after a few months🎉
I am vegetarian 😅
@@bhok1971 I have prepared coconut oil at home, this is amazing,,,, in just 2 weeks I can see that my hairs are stronger, softer and shines more😂😂😂😂
Today I an going to write 20 reasons to quit smoking and smoke half cigarettes more often😊
