I had people around me smoking, & I felt that I was terribly craving a cigarette (I quit cold turkey on Oct. 3rd, 2021), then someone handed me a cigarette...and I thought about what I was really craving, & it was totally emotional, & I thought of all of the positives healthwise & financially that I've gained over the past 17 months, & that "craving feeling" disappeared, & I gave her back her cigarette. This has happened many times, and I constantly work on becoming emotionally healthy & strong❤ Thank you for your supportive videos😊

I had a slip up after 6 weeks because I had back to back problems one day. Upset, shaking, and ready to scream, I broke and smoked 2 cigs. I got back on track and messed up again when I got bad news. Now I'm 24 hours since my last slip up but I am so mad at myself for being so weak. I've smoked 45 years and I'm going on oxygen 24-7 if I don't quit.😢

I had my first lapse after completing the program, 16 days before I reached two months nicotine -free. I experienced no enjoyment form my lapse. I am on my quit journey from vaping, so instead of buying the $20+ fruity vapes, I bought one from the $5 bin. I knew in my mind it would be temporary and I just needed comfort to get through the evening. The next day I trashed it. But then, the third day I lapsed AGAIN, and I went and got another $5 vape. This vape was even worse, I do no idea why I was smoking it. On the fourth day, I recommitted. and I decided I must keep moving forward in my journey. In a little more than a week I will still celebrate making it to two-months nicotine free. Even though I have more to go, I am really proud of the work and results so far!

I remember when I relapsed many years ago, I WANTED to smoke I had a conscious desire to smoke even after six months, the reason being I needed a release and smoking used to be my release as well as a couple of beers. It's not rational behaviour and it took me a while to figure it out. Never take another puff.

I vaped for years. I quit on Thanksgivng of this year cold turkey. I gave in to the cravings and just smoked half a black and mild. I feel terrible about it. You’re right; I cannot let this lapse get in the way of my overall improvement. I let myself down, but when that happens, I have to pull myself back up. I do not consider myself at day one again, but I did lose some progress. Here’s to the collective struggle, and rising above. Cheers everyone, and a happy New Year.

I have just relapsed after my 15th time of trying in 3 years. I got to 17 hours but I feel SO UNMOTIVATED to do ANYTHING in my day when quitting - I feel paralysed mentally and physically, even though I feel great for the first 5 hours. Something just snaps and I don't have '10-minute cravings' as all the advice says, my craving and discomfort is permanent and lasts hours until I give in. I use smoking to motivate me to do tasks in my day and I don't know how to overcome it.

Yeah I get it - you have to plan the first 14 days with just activities and food - pack it in especially for the first 72 hours so whatever you have to do those 3 days do it - also I still desire to smoke but I realize I’m just conquering old simulation situations every day - most of the time it’s because I have nothing else to do- so plan plan plan- I still have to remind myself that quitting nicotine is not giving up something it’s what I’m gaining and sometimes that’s hard- I just have to remind myself it’s like 5-10 minutes and it passes - you can handle 5-10 minutes I smoked for 33 years

I can't seem to change my smoking identity. I quit 9 months ago. For 7 months I didn't lapse. I started this program but didn't do it all the way and had a hip replacement that I had chose for my quit date because by the time I was off the drugs the nicotine would be out of my body. I'm 62 and started smoking at 15. I finished the program but still see myself on my back deck smoking and just relaxing. All summer last year I avoided my favorite spots thinking if I just lasted long enough it would go away. I wish I had been more serious about the program before I quit because maybe I wouldn't still be wanting to do my old patterns. I smoked with my friends at my favorite ranch and I felt such relief, this is me! I consider every time I do this a lapse because I haven't went back to my normal and have not bought cigarettes even though I have thought about it, luckily I have not. I just want to be done with thinking about it at all. I know this is a slippery slope and I'm glad you taught me not to persecute myself. I journal the lapse and call it a day.

I am here because for the first time in 2.5 years I have found myself smoking again. I think that I flirted with the idea of "Its one puff, I can handle this" when I took a drag off of a friend. Before I knew it, I was socially smoking. Now, I am smoking 4-6 a day. I am going to be so honest, I am really scared. I am feeling like "You got yourself back into one of the furthest holes you could fall into again" and I cannot afford any programs to quit. So this information matters to me.

I was a happy non-smoker for two years and then relapsed. Electing to research how smoking changes/affects your body was my trigger. I found out that the little hairs will cause you to struggle with inhalations. For some unknown reason I had to verify if this was true. I smoked and yes it was true--cough cough until you can't cough anymore. One puff & I was back to smoking two cig. a day. Discovery: I did the work and became smoke free but missed two stages, Long -Term preparation, and stage 4. Having too much knowledge may not always be the best. It is a struggle getting back but not impossible.

I smoked 3 cigarettes, first one hit me like a train. But I will keep on going. I didn't even enjoyed it anyway. I did those 2 after. But I will just do Nicorette gum 2mg next time if I really need it. I have father dying basically and trouble with job (will be solved) and under pressure and I am sure this made me stronger. Aftee 23 years 5 days without told me I'm proud I didn't smoke for 5 days and will continue. Dunno if it will reset my cravings again but I hope those 5 days will help me proceed more. I don't even stress, I gave myself a ywar to stop and will start with Nicorette gums as I was heavy smoker. I went cold turkey but didn't have those dunno what to do with hands or drinking coffee without it and simillar stuff. I just hated feeling cravings so I don't miss cigarettes and will get to it sooner or later

It's been four months now since I had my last cigarette. After 3 months, I felt really great and proud that my first and last quite smoking attempt was a succes. Last week unfortunately I made the mistake of using a vape (e-sig) - after a concert I was in a euphoric mood. Now my cravings are back, like I am in the first week of quitting smoking cigarettes. Yesterday I almost gave in to the cravings. I realise now that quitting smoking is something that you have to work on 24/7, the false sense of victory can be deceiving. Good luck guys!

I quit smoking a couple months ago and sometime last week I was at a social event and figured it was ok to just smoke one cigarette... That one turned into two... And in the next few days I was smoking 2-3 cigarettes a day... Well today I went to another similar social event and I stopped caring and ended up smoking a lot!! Probably about 10 cigarettes or so... I can't allow myself to do this because I quit for a reason because I needed to get surgery for my broken leg and smoking can delay or even stop the healing process!!! This is my second surgery on this leg and the first surgery was unsuccessful due to my inability to quit smoking!!! I knew I never should have allowed myself to smoke that first cigarette because when it comes to smoking one is too much and a thousand is never enough!!! I'm desperate and I must stop!!! I accept my part in my relapse and I will humbly try again when I wake up in the morning smoke free again!! Your videos helped me a lot when I quit smoking a couple months ago... I'm glad you had one on relapse because this one helped me a lot today!! Thank you 🙏

I think once you've been subjected to nicotine the brain is permanently re wired which is why it's so easy for ex smokers to return to smoking. What amazes me is that the brain seems to short circuit itself and suspends the self protection mechanisms that normally trigger when we're faced with danger. It is an evil addiction and Sir Walter Raleigh has a lot to answer for :)

Biggest mistake I ever made, was to quit smoking. I got fat. I gained 140 pounds. I struggled with diets and exercise but they don't work. I went from a slim 135 up to a whopping 275 pounds. For a year I was a fat nonsmoker, but when women laughed and said forget it, I was too fat, that was it. I went back to 2 packs a day and I've been losing about 15 pounds a month. As long as smoking keeps my weight down, then I don't care a hoot, about the problems of cigarettes. I should have never quit in the first place, and to top it off, it was very hard for me to do
