48 hours without a smoke.. update: today is october 23rd and now im 95 days without a smoke. Ill never touch a smoke again. I realize now that smoking is a thing of the past and honestly i cant believe i smoked that long. It truly is a disgusting habit. If you decide to quit . Stick with it . It gets better. In the end its well worth it.
1 year 1 month smoke free, after 44yrs of smoking. Just remind yourself how much work it took, and you'll hard pass on a cigarette. I'll never touch another cigarette---I'm done. You CAN do this. My lung CT scan was CLEAR, so it is NEVER too late.
I totally agree and have done this many times. However each time i have relapsed I've learned so much on the way..now im discovering the healing process of why i self sabotage with many external things that harm me and my health when im succeeding and im trusting this is the breakthrough i need. Cold turkey always works for me.
I'm there now, feel like I've sucked on a exhaust pipe. I hate being weak, hate smelling saturated with layers of stale and fresh disgusting smoke. And I KNOW that there's no better morale booster than saying, wow Im actually an ex smoker. Or cringing that I used to do that, all day... no high, no deliciousness nothing. And the cravings, the sleepless nights the irritability, depression boredom restless legs... BRING IT ON!! like a no good mofo pretending to be my friend. mxm
@@CECS1 it always works if you really want it to obviously for those who have failed many many times like myself who did not want to be a non smoker bad enough and i can guarantee when we started to smoke again we knew what we were doing and we knew we didnt really want this cigarette but we gave in knowing we still held the power not to smoke it but DECIDED we would. So when you decide to quit and STICK to it you WILL SUCCEED.
I did the same thing after 48 years of smoking ! I will be 60 in april Just got sick of it coughing the price for a pack of cigs... etc.... been a year..thank god Im still in good health.. already saved about $5500.00 not buying cigs if I can do it cold turkey then anyone can! and no I didnt quit the 1st time trying .. it took me about 12 times to quit over 2 years time .. Im still on the 12th time a year later and will never smoke cigs again !
I am almost 2 months smoke free after 4 years of smoking up to a pack a day! I tried quitting many times but now it finally worked :) Gonna stay strong! Feels great to be a non-smoker :)!
I was smoking for 10 years a pack a day, quitted for 2 years... Then relapsed for 8 months because of personal issues... Now 3 months smoke free since. I hope to stay a non smoker from now on forever.
Started at age 16. I am 57 now. I have only quite twice in my life. Once in 1999 for 8 months, and once in 2007 for 9 months. My profession is highly stressful and that has been my crutch for years. This year, my body finally said ,enough already. I need to quite. Hell or high water.
We’re at the same age when started smoking and at the same age when our body said enough is enough.. i feel not healthy anymore so i quit 2 days ago.. I’m still fighting myself not to smoke.. I’m craving for a cigarette😛😛 i hope we both overcome our Nicotine addiction😉
The tobacco addiction came from smoking weed, quit both over a month ago and to be free of those vices is great. But cravings come out of nowhere today, but I did what I always did when withdrawing, went on youtube and watched a video, this one this time, it worked, its refilled my determination
I'm 15 months no weed helps when someone reaches out" sometimes all we need is someone to talk with. I don't even crave weed no more not even when someone is smoking it. Now I gonna kick cigarettes butt ☺️ take up exercise.( Better to kick abad habit before it kicks you. That's A quote from a movie. You can do It Ash. 😘
Im 6 weeks in.. No cigs, no weed. Its tough stuff, went from about a quo a day with a pack of cigs to nothing. Anxiety, yeah i got that... Its real cool reading your comment. Im not alone. Do you guys get random chest pains? They say my lungs are clear and my heart also, random pains are scary though.
Haven't smoked for 20 days now after 10 years of smoking when he said that "there's a small voice in the back of your head saying a cigarette would be nice" that hit home but it's possible...the irony of this video popping up on my time-line 👌
Went to visit one of my best teenage band friends of 40 years on his deathbed just the other day.. with his one lung and suffering in front of me , my old buddy and smoking partner, a joint and RocknRoll mate.. broke my heart and put me off for the rest of my life. Amen.
I smoked from 14 to 35 years old, in the last years I smoked an average of 30 cigarettes a day (1 pack and a half). I gave my life to Jesus, and I felt the need not to smoke or consume alcohol anymore, with the alcoholic drink it was overnight, I threw away what I had of beer and cachaça at home... ! I agreed with my wife to try to smoke the least amount of cigarettes I could in one day so with a lot of effort on my part I smoked 12 cigarettes, for one week she gave me 12 cigarettes every day for me to consume, the other week it was 11 cigarettes a day day, the other 10... and each week it decreased by 1 per day. everything was going well, until it reached 4 cigarettes... I started stealing cigarettes from her, and ended up smoking 7, 8 cigarettes a day. until one day that during a prayer I was sincere to God, and said that I couldn't stop smoking and that I didn't really have the strength and that I really wanted to and asked God to help me and take the pleasure of smoking from me... One day inside the church during a preaching that a pastor was doing, I heard a voice speaking in my ear clearly; - "So far I've let you try, to show that you're not capable. From today you don't smoke because I don't want to! I was so scared that when my wife told me what I had heard, she saw in me a frightened and admired person, who started to cry because she saw that I was not delirious. Upon leaving the church my car had been broken into and my documents and my wife's documents had been stolen, along with the vehicle's sound. But I knew that if I got over that nervousness and anger I felt at seeing my car like that I wouldn't smoke anymore (it was like a test to confirm my convictions in the voice I heard). I called my wife and we went home , I took everything I had connected to tobacco ( tobacco , paper , lighter , matches , cigarette pack ....) I put it on a piece of paper and rolled it up we went to the street, and on a sidewalk I threw alcohol and I prayed to God; - Lord, trusting the voice I heard today I know that I will no longer feel like smoking, in Jesus name I set fire to all these elements linked to cigarettes! And by the honor and glory of God I was freed, in the name of Jesus! Vinicius Cruz. czcams.com/video/xrQA5Jx9R3Y/video.html&ab_channel=Vin%C3%ADciusCruz
The man look like he's healthy and in good shape and congratulations on being a non smoker this is inspiring and I hope I can quitand be a nonsmoker to
The triggers are crazy. I am going on my 4th day and last night I had my trigger when I got off work. It was very interesting how my present brain was fighting my lizard brain when the urge hit. I made it through, but will most certainly have a hard trigger today. I just need to remember that my lizard brain is playing tricks on me and wants me to take the easy path which is to buy another pack. I have smoked for 35 years and it is time to quit. Sorry, I'm rambling.
@@zacharyparkert8620 Well, after that post I did start smoking again, but then quit for good on June 1, 2022. It took a health scare, which turned out to be nothing, to make me quit. I screwed up one time about 2 months ago and quickly regretted it. I only smoked 4 cigarettes and then threw the pack out. It burned my throat, and the guilt was unbearable. I still have cravings, but it is now much easier to push them away. Stay strong my friend and if you ever need help get in touch as I always check the comments.
This video is the most inspirational I've seen because it lets me know that i will need great determination to overcome the evil desire for nicotine... i want to quit, but the irritation of the constant discomfort for need of nicotine causes me weakness.
Well done for giving up. I smoked for 10 years socially, and vaped a lot during the covid 2020 year. I am now over 6 weeks nicotine free, but for some reason i'm having real urges to vape this week. Not sure where it's came from, hope it goes away in the next few days, I don't want to relapse.
Those things are probably 10 times worse than cigs. Who used to tell us they were safe? (nazi science/operation paperclip). The same traitors who tell us everything else is, (agenda 21).
Thanks! I hear you, so, so sick of it. Totally determined. Vaping, lots, but no smoking. I feel great, physically and mentally. Going to vape for a while, keep changing habits. 3 weeks now, and excited to keep going. It is a great feeling!
At the workplace is were I see the most smokers. It’s like people are the most stressed at work. I never attempted to smoke at all, since in school they taught me that smoking kills, time and time again. I like the smell of cigarettes for sure though. And my mom says my dad used to be a smoker. Who knows what could happen if I dare put a cigarette into my mouth! No thanks, I’ll keep my pink lungs
The best way to stop smoking is to simple face up to the facts. Which are, we don't smoke because we want to, we do it because we are to weak minded and pathetic to stop, (we also stink). So let's get a grip, grow up, and take responsibility. Two weeks cold turkey, feeling uncomfortable, but I'll get over it. (For primary responsibility click profile).
@ Alan That's the truth ! But until you reach the point of understanding that it will be difficult to stop ! It IS all in the mind ! TRY : SURF THE URGE .....! It helps !
There is far more to the addiction than just nicotine. There are all kings of chemicals also, whether mixed with the tobacco, the filters, or oven the glue on the paper. For me, (am back on them). The nicotine is the least of them. Saying that, ppl do stop. While the rest of us junkies look for pathetic excuses to carry on. Sad, but true.
I believe when you're determined enough you just don't care about cravings anymore they even likely disappear ! I you still smoke and want to quit check Allen Carr's Easyway to stop smoking cigarettes
What do you mean the look on his face? You won't crave cigarettes after you quit. Maybe initially you will but after some time those cravings go away. You might miss the dopamine hits but once you reset you will find dopamine from other sources. Healthy sources that actually help your life, not kill you. I quit a little over 9 months ago and you can too.
i’ve been extremely addicted to disposable vapes for about a year and a half now. i also work at a smoke shop that sells nicotine. how do i stop since i work right beside them?
Or......put some used cigarette ends in a jar of water . After a day or so try to smell them....!?!?! You'll be disgusted / sick ! Those are your lungs..!!
now that it is all over, you wonder were you found the time to smoke? its so gross and the constant hand washing, the gum. the dentist visits..all for nothing AND the waste of MONEY
I've been smoke free for two years and recently relapsed and it was really emotionally difficult feeling like a major failure especially after doing very good for what feels like long enough. I'm starting it over please wish me luck 🤍

at some stage your body will tell you enough ! we push it to the back of our minds but when we truly listen we stop..cold turkey best way ever
