As a young man who has tried to quit smoking and has failed numerous times I think this video hit the nail on the head of why I fail so much

[@elenapalaversic6512]

Chris you are such a nice and sympathetic person its joy to listen to you.

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Thank you, Elena, very kind of you to say so :)

[@lem8081]

Chris! What a wonderful and transformative message! I still haven't quit yet, but that's why I watch ALL of your vids. In this video, you delved into all my fears, concerning quitting. For all these years of smoking, I've told myself that I'm afraid of who I'll become if I quit. As though I won't recognize myself. And you addressed these exact fears, and others like them. - Rich

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Thanks Rich :) Hope you found it helpful!

Hi Chris, another great video. My biggest fear of quitting smoking in the past is i might die of severe chest pain from withdrawal symptoms. I actually ended up in emergency room 2 times in the past because of severe chest pain from smoking withdrawal symptoms. Luckily I made it to the emergency room but I did not die. Thank you for your encourgement and inspiration.

[@jimbog8397]

Your videos are great Chris. I had a relapse after 3 months of quitting because of depression. What helps me is practicing qi gong. I'm gonna try again this weekend. Thank you for your videos.

. i hi chris! i'm sylvia and 60 years old and have been smoking since i was 16. i now have emphysema so bad i got disability in 6 months which is pretty much unheard of. i HAVE to quit, i REALLY feel the effects of my disease (dad died from it too). i have no friends, can't exersize (oops spelling). i already have great anxiety. do you think 1 month of valiums and sleeping a lot will help me. i have nothing to do but tv and appointments with drs., shrinks, therapists and no car. have to use bus, and wheelchair if i have to go too far. being alone and isolated doesn't help either and not being able to go out in humid weather, like now, and too cold is very harmful to my disease. the cigs are making me sicker and i can feel it and it's moving pretty quickly. i can't even walk very far. just thought maybe 1 month of valiums might help. can i still take my dissolvable melatonin to sleep,. i've. been taking them a while and take A LOT more than other people do. i'm scared to quit and i'm Terrified not to quit=rock, hard place. i already cry a lot, after 4 yrs of watching my mom deteriorate in a "home" and she died feb 4, 2019 and have horrible quilt over it. your videos are Great, but i'm still scared to pieces. i live in a 200 sq. foot place so cleaning -even tho it takes a lot out of me and i have to take Many breaks to catch breath- there's only so much to clean. sorry this is SO LONG, wanted you to have background on me for clear advice. so what do you think of 1 month of valium to help my severe anxiety, just while quitting? btw tried chantix=made me sick, patches just add nicotine into the body thereby don't make much sense to me cuz of the nicotine . i hope you respond. thank you for your videos and hope for the best desires for you :)

sylvia garrity I see your post is a year old but wanted to comment. I do sincerely hope that you have managed to quit smoking by now and I am sorry that you did not get a reply. I am in a very similar situation to you age and smoking wise and I to am disabled and housebound. It is a terrible fear that we go through the fear of smoking but also the fear of not being able to stop, we are caught in the middle. This video has helped me to stop again after a few days relapse and it is because I realised that I am actually more scared of succeeding, what will my life be like ? I have been a smoker since I was a teenager. I have realised I am terrified because I don’t know who I am as a non smoker and this realisation alone has given me the courage to quit again. I do hope that you too are able to overcome your fears and quit.

[@Gr33nHatt3R]

God bless you Chris!

[@ChrisSkoyles]

And you, Malloy! :)

[@tapashyarasaily4869]

i am such a confident person around difficult people when i smoke before meeting them. how will i be as confident as a non smoker? this holds me back everytime.

[@hughesrobert2329]

[@Timmysminivanventures]

Thanks Chris. I’ve been vegan almost 2 months which is helping a lot towards battling my addiction side of things. The roots are so deep with the cigs. 😩

[@Sassenfrath]

Really interesting and motivating,Chris. I go to my room to make a vivid picture of my life without cigarettes. Will let you know if it' will work

[@antoniafilandrianos1125]

I quit smoking cold turkey 18 days ago, and I just got into a hurtful argument and had a cigarette:((

[@leilamohajer2695]

We did that many times! but it doesn't mean that you have completely failed and you have to get back to smoking! No! Just forget about this 'mishap' and enjoy smoke-free days ahead :)

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Wishing you every success with getting back on course, Antonia :)

[@ИванИванов-ю6э9р]

love u man! thanks alot

[@JIm-w1b]

Biggest mistake I ever made, was to quit smoking. I got fat. I gained 140 pounds overnight. Smoking 2 packs a day, kept my weight down. If you're interested in the details, read my comments on other You Tube videos about quitting smoking.
