Love you Val, enjoy the new baby I have 3 grandkiddos and I really want them to say one day that granma was just as kickass and no longer needs these stinky cigs. Great interview thank you

Never give up!

[@beckywebster6261]

Each day is a new day….

[@juliannemoore5334]

I'm 52 and have been smoking since I was 13..I've tried through the years..but keep goin back..I've tried every method..this woman sounds like me..she is explaining how I view cigarettes today..I'm gonna try this cbq method..Lord Jesus help me through this!!! As I'm writing this my anxiety is high because I'm scared to lose my cigarette buddy..wow

[@Missmewithdat]

How did it go ??

[@ThatTaRaGiRL]

Let me start by saying ibwas a snoker from 12 until 36, i'm 37 now...NOW, Ok view it this way: You have ONLY TWO CHOICES- smoke and risk dying MUCH sooner than necessary (and ANY smoker WILL suffer from SOMETHING due to the 🚬 smoking, it's not a matter of it, it's WHEN) imagine a sudden crushing heart attack or having to sit mist the day on an oxygen device because you CAN'T BREATHE. And MANY other things, like having to break the news to your family that you have some aggressive cancer..... there's many nasty things that could happen. And without much warning ⚠️ YOU might love them cigarettes. But they certainly won't live you back. You're literally PAYING to die slowly... OR you can turn that around, feel SO much more energy, being able to FLY uphill or upstairs while being able to be able to breathe, NOT having that fear in the back of your head or even existential dread/anxiety about health concerns due to smoking and not smelling like pure SH*T and having people avoid you like the plague or find your presence completely and annoyingly GROSS to tolerate. Doing all the things you ABSOLUTELY LOVE and having many more years to be able to do them! Not having to step out all the time, or being a nuisance to other non smokers while in their car by having to make a stop to have a cig then coming in and smelling like SH*T! You can just do anything and be anywhere without having to step aside or "disappear" for 10-20 minutes because you're in a non-smoking area... TRUST ME- IT'S SO WORTH IT!! I have a friend in hospice that got cancer of the colon, just to have it spread RAPIDLY over the course of the year and I still remember a text with him telling me how scared he was and how much he wanted to live because he had an amazing life and wanted to live it.... and HE DIDNT EVEN SMOKE...AND had NO family history of cancer! HOW is that fair!? Now think to yourself "I still have a chance to get what this poor guy didn't and didn't even do anything to ask for it"! It's NOT THAT HARD.. I also battled drug addiction for 13 years and I can PROMISE YOU that there are FAR worse things to come off of! Stay strong. YOU CAN DO IT ❤

[@leogurudev6773]

Kudos… I am 15 day off smoking… relapsed once BUT now hopefully on track…. Boy its difficult

[@Rob-hv9kt]

The early morning smoke with tea is the most difficult one! Honestly! And how she was a worse place than me and she could do it! Makes me feel like I can do it too

[@heatherh.521]

I quit smoking back in May 2020. I was ready, made a plan and have had great success. During cravings I had a list of what the rewards are. They are great. I feel better, smell better & have more quality of life. I have more confidence as well!💯 You can quit it is so worth it!

[@sylviagerritsen7975]

Val congrats. I’m 61 and have smoked for 39.4 years @45-50 per day. Smoke free for 26 days today. You’re my new inspiration. Thank you. By the way, you look great. Lol, I still can’t go on a coach holiday, I suffer severe motion sickness, have done since childhood.

[@parthvaland3008]

9 days cold turkey after 3 year of smoking - my ex breaking up with me was my reason for starting. Now she's back in my life, not together but I won't allow her or anyone to control me. Take back your control - we are more powerful than we ever thought imagined.

[@Liesl_Cigarboxguitar]

What an inspiring lady. Val's story describes me to a tee. I've been smoking for 39 years and the mornings are the most difficult time for me. I've been monitoring my smoking for the last two weeks and I smoke the majority of cigarettes in the first two hours after getting up. I know that panic feeling when I can't find a lighter and yeah, I've lit cigarettes off of the grill and the toaster as well. I'm so grateful for your channel. Thanks 😊

[@beckywebster6261]

Oh the toaster….been there done that and forgot. Shows how crazy cigarettes make us.

[@sandrasavage2452]

Thanks for sharing this story. I'm at the beginning of my quitting with the CBQ system. I'm excited about it, but at the same time I'm scared to death of it for some reason. I started smoking 52 years ago when I went to collage and have tried about every method of quitting over the years. I got up to about 4 months of quitting 1 time, then fell for that "oh well, 1 won't hurt anything" trick. This time I am determined to make this program work for me. But I'm finding myself sabotaging my commitment. I stopped writing down when I was smoking before I finished the 1st day. I've been "too busy" to watch the next video twice. So now I'm going to go back to day 1 and start over. With God all things are possible.

[@surfingrits]

Best of luck! Keep us posted.

[@darm1959]

He who the Son sets free is free indeed!

[@user-hk3il4le1k]

The longer the message the more determined you are you kept clued in without smoking for a few seconds while I was reading thanks 🎉

[@tonynguyen9453]

Smoked for over 25 years, quit 2 1/2 years ago and feeling great 😊

[@joanofarc33]

I never did the mint thing. I smoked and never tried to hide it. She’s right, one puff and in a few days we are back to a full blown habit! I could not scale back the smoking, it was impossible. I just chose the quit date and smoked as normal until that day and the last cigarette on that day was the last cigarette.

[@sydismine]

Val is GREAT! I'm turning 50 this week and realized that the ONLY thing I've brought along with me from my past is cigarettes. I've quit before and started again when my Dad passed in 2016. I'm breaking free of this trauma and addiction so I can be more kind to myself. That was my big takeaway from Val. We're doing something kind for ourselves! That's huge!

[@lindaabsil383]

This was so encouraging. I’m so proud of you Val! You look like you’ve never smoked a cigarette in your life. I am starting the program over. I really struggled with waiting one hour in the morning, but Val did it and that gives me renewed confidence that I can too!

[@scenttrails2703]

I'm on ig/youtube if you wanna try to do this together 🙂 honestly I feel like I could use a hint of support and have only hit 15 hrs

[@aimyisrael2400]

​@@scenttrails2703I will do it with you.

[@drewscott2753]

I haven't smoked cigarettes for 5 years but I started vaping instead. I hadn't been free from nicotine for 35 years. I had convinced myself vaping was safer than smoking and I mixed my own eliquid at 3mg. Decided last week I was finished and gave up. Going cold turkey and it's been tough but I'm determined to finally be free of nicotine. Every day it gets easier. Hardest part of quitting is making that first step.

[@scenttrails2703]

Great decision! I'm trying now.. I'm curious how is it going now, and never feel bad if it didn't work at the moment. I'm on ig/youtube if you ever want support! Definitely feel like I could use some right now. 15 hr mark

[@drewscott2753]

@@scenttrails2703 I'm now almost 5 months free of nicotine and I don't miss it at all. Not saying it's been easy but every day gets a little bit easier. I never even think about it now. Stick at it and you can do it. You've done the hardest part by quitting. Keep it up. 👍

[@drewscott2753]

@Jack T still quit. Never think about it now. Over 2 years nicotine free. Hard for the first 6 or 7 months but if I can do it anyone can. I was a 40 a day cigarette smoker and when I vaped I used 25ml of 3mg juice per day. I was heavily addicted. So much healthier and much richer too. 😂

[@drewscott2753]

@Jack T never. The smell of others doing it is actually unpleasant and makes me feel a bit sick to be honest. Best thing I ever did. If your quitting take it one day at a time and if you slip up and have one then don’t beat yourself up about it. Just go again. You will get there eventually. It takes 90 days to break a habit and trust me if you get to 90 days you’ve beaten it. 👍

[@kellysamuels4971]

Not bored to tears, but moved to tears for sure Val! Day 2 for me today of the program and its just hit me how crazy the addiction behavior we commit ourselves to is... Somehow I never noticed it before. Thanks for being brave and sharing. See you on the other side!!

[@tw7231]

I remember when I was young, I quit for 11 days. My sister minimized it JUST like the person who minimized Val’s accomplishments. And I went straight back.

[@scenttrails2703]

I'm on ig/KZbin if you were interested in some support. Definitely could use some myself.. at the 15 hr mark. Never feel bad, just keep trying no matter what. One day at a time

[@user-gz2sq9rw2r]

the thing i take from Val's expirience is to take it a day at a time for sure. sometimes even an hour at a time or a few hours and not to think about the rest of my life without it. just to get the next lets say 2 or 4 hours without. thanks again for sharing! u r both really great!!

[@sheenahorn9205]

Smoked off and on 20 yrs. About 5 to 8 ciggarettes a day of probably average of 2 packs a week. I never could cope with more as it bugged my chest. Many attemps. Quit for several days at a time. I hope this is my last attempt. . Day 5 going strong

[@scenttrails2703]

Amazing.. I'm trying right now. Been about 14 hrs. Sometimes I think the hardest part is not having any support. But I am impressed with her ability to quit through the adversity, and with the lack of support from others.

The thing I took from it is when you have a craving that makes you feel anxious or aggitated or panicked, what you can do is simply "Slow down", and evetually the craving will pass - you dont have to listen to the thought which says "I NEED a cigarette"

[@TheMishka11]

Great hearing this woman and has given me hope. Best part for me is when she said take each day at a time because i always thought about no smoking forever which was too long instead of small daily steps. I need to give up and i am going to. I often think about the times when i didnt have enough money for cigs and started to pick them off the street. Not going to be doing that again.

[@CBQMethod]

Yes, that was a fantastic tip from Val. Go for it, you can succeed!

[@LaFro_]

I’m on Day 2 of the program and was doubting myself at first for spending this kind of money but what you said Val about if you’re willing to put this amount of money into this then you’re already 80% committed, resonated with me. I think you’re right and that why I was willing to take the chance. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@tw7231]

I relate to this lady, Val, so so much. Everything revolves around it. I can relate to the problems on vacations, the “problem” waking up. And thank u so much for reminding me of the “one day at a time” approach. I really really appreciate all of this.

[@Keithbarber]

I'm way past 25 years quit but each day from day 1 is an achievement, and if a person who says, oh? Just 21 days? My answer would be "21 days more than you" - especially if that person smokes

Val, you are brilliant. I love how peaceful you are now. Everything you said resonated with me and if you could stop a 2 pack a day habit, then surely I can do this too. I love your analogy to needing to take it a day at a time to rewire your brain--it's a process and always remember that it just takes one cigarette to take you back down the chute (like in Snakes and Ladders). Thanks so much for being so refreshingly honest and warm and down to earth. You have inspired me enormously. Tomorrow is my "wait one hour before smoking" and I know I can do it thanks to you.
