It's been 6 years since I quit smoking and your videos were so helpful at the time, along with Allen Carr's book. Looking at the comments, it seems you helped lots of people. What a great thing. I hope you come back to KZbin again one day.

DONT BE DISCOURAGED & WITH YAHUAH ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Insomnia for 9 months after quitting smoking. Hasn't gotten any better yet.

Chris. Counting down to my SECOND year of being smoke free. When I was quitting I watched all of your videos to help keep my determination up. I think you may have helped more people than you realize. THANK YOU! Hope you are healthy and well.

I MISS CHRIS!! 😐🧡

Giving it up young so i can live my life. only 24 smoked for 4 years then vaped for 4 years, 2 days clean now worried about tomorrow

Thank you for Sharing! I just received my prescription and using all the tools to have provided to help me be successful!

I also quit smoking it's been 2days and 23 hours now but man that third day was hard

8 days in. Been off & on with cigarettes about 15 years. Hopefully this time is the last time

I'm so grateful that I found you on KZbin... your videos have helped me so much! I just can't thank you enough ☺️

This is a very helpful video. I felt very lost today...Thank you

I am half way through the first starter pack. They only side effect that I've gotten is the overwhelming sleepiness, even after sleeping for near 12 hours. But after 2 weeks in, I find that I want cigarettes/cigars way less than I used to. I now smoke about 3 cigarettes and 3 cigars (i.e. White Owl) a day. My fear about quitting is that I have never had the desire to quit. I literally enjoy smoking cigarettes and especially enjoy cigars. But my doc told me that I was a half percent away from needing cholesterol medicine to prevent a heart related incident within the next ten years. While I am one who doesn't care to live past 75, I do want to enjoy the next 27 years with my wife (I'm going on 48). So that has become my driving reason to quit smoking. I do think that I'll need another month of it, but I'm not giving up. In the past, whenever I tried to quit I became an unbearable asshole to the point that my wife/partner/girlfriend would beg me to start smoking again. One of my friends warned me that I would become twice that while on Chantix. So far, though, I've not had that experience. I've not had the crazy quick mood changes. But that might be because I'm just to damn tired for anything else. Any time is a good time to quit smoking, but I highly recommend taking a 2 week vacation and starting on Chantix the week before. That way you can get through without it affecting your work. I've actually had to miss some time at work due to just how sleepy I've been. I should note that I'm also on medicine that's supposed to prevent migraines. The migraine prevention medicine may be working in tandem with Chantix to cause the extra sleepiness. I'm not sure.

You hit the important points chris! Really glad to listen to your insights, helps me to focus and start quitting!!

Anyone here december 2024

Watched your videos, read your book.over the course of years, struggling.Still got a lot of helpout of your work, though. Nearly 3 monthsno cigs, 1 month no nic. How did the algorithm never show me this. This viid is the best of your already helpful work. More power to you.

Thank you so much. ❤

Stupid useless nonsense waste of time. Did no help at all. gth

You're a legend man, we've all got this

Do you make videos still!?!? I am 3 yrs 337 days nicotine free! I couldn’t do it till I found you! You have forever changed my life and I want you to know how grateful I am! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am almost 6 months into this new stint of sobriety. I have achieved sobriety before. This time is very very different, though. I have had more drunk dreams than I can count. Almost every single night for weeks, sometimes. They truly are awful and sometimes I wake up and go "Oh my god DID I actually drink?" knowing that I didn't, however it just feel so real! I'm learning to appreciate those dreams, though. Because they truly are reminders of how I never want to go back to that life.

Well you have a choice here you can have a stroke and then not be able to move your limbs you can have no circulation in some of your limbs and then have them to have to be amputated or you can go ahead and stop smoking

Just a half an hour sleep in 24 hours don't feel tired worse part of quitting smoking by a mile for me, and i wasn't expecting insomnia to be so strong when i lay down my heart paces until i get jolted wide awake just as im about to drift to sleep . Still not going back tho. 🙏

Cigarette s. Aee evil

2 days smoke free tonight 💖

I'm from Australia 62 on and off Thank you for the advice 😊

Thank you good tips 😊

Thank You so very much for these videos, your group, resources, and especially book . There are many gifts people can give. Few can give time. You have. Keep that thought. Every smoke we haven't -you helped give people back time.

Day three going on right now! I’m still exciting although I have thought about going to the store ALOT today not going to. I’ll smoke 4 or 5 back to back and be right back to that super miserable trap. The last attempt I caved on day two and cried as I smoked a cig. I knew I was back in the trap. Lord help me out!!!

3-4 days Brains like lets go for a walk (smoke tactic used to pick up a dog end ciggy butt or scave a smoke or even pop garage and buy them) without noticing Sleeping sucks, up 3.00am but sleeping during day glad its weekend Eating crap 😂😂 but do go gym Cant plan....but in time i will be ready Cant wait to get better & back to normal

Always come back here when I need a deep breath and advice. Thanks for everything man, know that you've helped me.

Thanks for this specific video. I resonated with a lot of it and now I realize that I'm not alone.

I smoked since I was 14 and when I turned 28 I switched to vaping, unfortunately I vaped heavy until 6 days ago I put on the patch and threw everything in the trash ! All vape juice and vape pens ! Say 1 and 2 were tough and day 3 and 4 were too easy but now 5 and 6 feel a little harder But the patch helps a lot and gum

When you said, "...having a cigarette will not cure this." That hit me profoundly. I think I leaned on them because they were my back-up, but they are not, they are just a way of hurting our self because we are hurt. I learn a great deal from your videos. Thanks for putting this out there.

I’m trying to quit for the millionth time. The depression is so thick I can barely breathe. Your video helped a ton and I really appreciate it.

Tobaccy bong rips for a solid year or 2 now, alcohol kinda started thst back up, quit alc in the hospital w meds, been smoking for 5 years now hopefully when i come back to this i can say i quit, longest i went was 4 days in the hospital til i had sb sneak me in a vape, didnt even phsysically crave it i just knew i wanted it goodluck and good shit to all the people trying to quit and the nonsmokers here now.

Thank god for you cris or I'd be climbing the wall.😅😅❤❤

I quit 56 hours ago , after 38 years…. It’s so brutal😢 but I know it’s the right thing!!!

I seem to be getting very bad bloating after quitting, is this common?

I'm in the same boat @ I've followed Chris for as long as he's been on KZbin. He's the best, because he keeps everything real, and everyone who is trying to quit smoking cigarettes can relate to everything he says! I've stopped and started again, Stopped and started again and now I'm struggling because I have to quit smoking cigarettes again because I'm having breathing problems because of the phlegm built up in my lungs! I've also burnt many things from cherry's falling off the cigarettes! Ruined Clothes Furniture, Carpet! The list goes on! I even had an auto Accident because of a cherry from a cigarette fell off in the car! I swerved off the road and hit a fire hydrant when I was in my 20's!

Vitamin d3 for anxiety kids

Vitamin d3 for anxiety kids,

God bless you you are spot on what you are saying.❤❤❤

Your videos are still helping people....hope you're doing OK both mentally and physically .

You look so HOOT!

Chris day 2 mouth ulcers headache flu type day 3 coughing my guts up. OH MY GOD is this normal.

Thank you Chris! I will try to quit again. 🥲

Got to quit now

Is it only me, that doesn't have that craving I'm on my 3rd day and still i feel nothing, I'm a chainsmoker, i think I've tricked my brain n body into not wanting to smoke

It's weird to me. Quit for 23 days now. The first 3 days were horrible because I had a lot of physical withdrawal, but after that I felt great. I was kinda sad on day 7, felt better the week after. Then suddenly started feeling horrible. Like actually depressed. After 14 days I felt like I hated myself, no one loved me, and I hated my job that I loved the week before. Then some days were better, now some days are horrible. Just a few hours ago I felt at my lowest, like literally 100% lost. I couldn't do anything but stare into my room. Not even craving a cigarette, just sad. And now suddenly I'm positive again. And in the two years I've smoked, I've been a super positive person. No real bad days, barely any sadness, could deal with even the worst things easily. And now it's all against me. I hope in a few weeks I'll feel like my old self again. I know that's who I am deep inside, a happy positive guy. I'll get there.

Key thing I'm learning: WATER is your best friend during withdrawal, you going to need plenty of it.
