A lot of the 'depression' is one's interpretation of the withdrawal symptoms. I quit five weeks ago (30year habit), and yesterday I had a fairly bad day (subdued mood, didn't enjoy an evening out that i had been looking forward to for ages etc). But kept reminding myself its just temporary. Today woke up feeling completely different, so pleased that I didn't allow a temporary dip in mood to become a spiral of negative thoughts and bring me down

Amazing seriously flawless. I love that she wants to help people. Especially others to understand the addiction of cravings. On top of that describes to replace certain words instead of cigarette. I'm not a cigarette smoker, every now and then I would have one, I vaped constantly and I have EPILEPSY. I drank every now and then, but today I am finally READY to quit. If you can go one day or even 30 minutes to one hour without smoking, you can do it, you're not alone, it's never too late. I haven't smoked in 2 hours maybe even 3 (time flies), but I already feel freaking great. Don't hurt yourself, don't harm yourself. This is a great strategy to persevere, not just wisdom. Keep going!! Thank you.

I will have a headace rather than having burning chest , stomach , bad breath , bad skin and yellow teeth’s. I won’t waste my money. Tbh I’m breathing so much better and I have no burns in chest and stomach. I will not be a smoker ever again.

I started smoking around 6 years back at 25yrs old due to my lifestyle(moving to a new city for work). Before this, I was too productive and healthy by having good habits (sports, eating healthy, working hard without any boredom, and also, keeping my mind and body together). During these 6yrs, I didn't feel myself - I was instantly getting rewards by smoking and taking things easy (I just don't want this lifestyle choice anymore, I want to be like an athlete that I used to be and energetic) I have many things to do in my environment, so gonna work on it each 1by1 and get a dopamine. My life is good and grateful for everything - it's just that I don't want a stimulant... So, I'm gonna take a decision as Nasia said "Personal Potential - (Identity, Emotions, and Beliefs)" and QUIT!!! - I will keep updating this thread with my progress, wish me luck!

I was a long time smoker its hard i still get nurves and psychological desires to smoke even that there is no more nicotine withdrawal symptoms...just a strong feeling that i NEED a smoke...i close my eyes and imagine my self having one of my asthma attack and its makes the desire go away...dont give in to it it passes after 10 minints.

6 months cigarette free since first watching this. Thanks again. Beautifully executed presentation.

[@kirstenpfister6310]

Wow, just wow! I really want to quite. I find just saying the words I love my son. Makes me not want to smoke. Because I do not want to die. I don't want my son not have his mummy. I'm going to watch this again. It really helped me to think about where I want to be in life. My greatest joy is being a mum. I want to live a long happy life with him. I can do this, you can do this. My son keeps me well and he is only 3. I'm so grateful for this video. Thank you xxx

[@shewantedalumpsum]

30 pack year smoker....Watched this video last year October 2019, I quit smoking a month later and have not had a cigarette since. Following her instructions to harness strength from the love of my wife and children, to HATE cigarettes and what it has stolen from me & my family. Get emotional about quitting, it works.

Nice tips, thanks, I used to be a stress smoker, something changed... realized that stress is an illusion...now is all and all is now

[@suzanne6663]

I quit about 30 minutes ago. Impulsively. Just done with the pain in my chest, the insecurity when I try to sing. The reason I haven't stopped before is because I'm too afraid to be too intense, too much. That my emotions will flood all over the place. But its time to truly choose myself and my true self fully. Beginning is hard, its scary. I might even cry after writing this comment because it feels like letting go of a friend. But its a toxic friend who slowly drains and kills me. That makes me tear up every time I try to sing/develop my voice. Hurts my chest. Makes me feel clouded. I don't wanna be clouded or not fully here. I want to live fully. I want to be able to sing confidently and out loud. Its even scary to write this comment, because Ive said these things so many times to myself before and I'm still in therapy for my emotions. I need to do this for me. I really want to feel better and to be able to cope differently. No need to escape no more in this way.

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

Wow. I totally relate. Sometimes I have thought that I have developed habits to dull myself down because my energy is too much for the people in my life to handle. But that is so great! Because once we decide to live to our authentic selves, our potential that has been waiting is SO HUGE. I'm really happy that you have decided to live 🤘

[@Tammy-dr3ck]

[@dragonsnowball]

Thank you so much Nasia. I can't afford your program atm but I've been following for a couple of weeks now, and I still get so much out of the e-mails you send. I think I am really ready to commit to never picking up another cigarette again! I just watched this talk for the first time and it is incredibly powerful! It is so clear you know what you're talking about and you really care about helping people. Thank you again!!

[@gerRule]

My mom is 63 and she smokes a lot too, I wish she would give up

[@skoky76]

After many tries to quit smoking (and then started again after few months), I found the most important part of success is very simple.... Love yourself. Value yourself and your body. Second pillar is... Let the emotions flow freely throughout and out of your body... Including negative ones. Those two points are crucial IMHO.

[@sigalover]

agree!!

[@vanessaberger7763]

I stopped smoking for nearly 8 years and had a full blown relapse for close to 4 months now. I started a job and while I do not want to put the entire blame on the work aspect; I do believe that it was that reason I felt the need to smoke again. I quit that job and I need to quit smoking now. Sounds odd, but I hate smoking and I feel sick now. I feel depressed now as well due to my relapse. This was very informative and I hope to be stopping again soon as I made an appointment to help with my journey.

[@mubarakbrar9937]

Vanessa Berger what helps me stop when I did,was knowing the triggers to your smoking and then getting rid of those triggers or just being more aware of them. Also having a good reason to quit can help too. Try meditation 🧘‍♂️, it will make your more aware of your craving which helps in building discipline. Peace ✌🏽 and much love ❤️

Girl I know this is an old comment, but if you’re still struggling check out Allen Carr Easy Way. I’m smoke free for good thanks to him.

Update. I haven't smoked since I posted and I've gone through a divorce, custody arrangements and job challenges. As of now, no cravings and started painting again.

[@deniselongley4401]

Also remember (learnt from the easyway) that the only reason you feel stressed in first place is because of the Nicotine leaving your body from the last one. So each cig creates the need for the next. There is only one way to end the cycle... You know what to do 🙂

[@rituparnadutta5937]

Firstly, I'm so glad that so many people made the decision to quit and was highly successful! This makes me believe that its absolutely possible. So I'm also embarking on my smoke-free, healthy lifestyle from today. Will keep updating as it goes! Day 1: Smoked only 1 cigarette! (When I used to smoke 12 per day). Day 2: had 1 cigrette

[@Mkjhvtkngrrg]

I listened again just now. She talks you through the logistics of the psychological process of quitting smoking and all addictions. Well worth playing at addiction rehab centres.

I’ve quit several times. Once for 3 years, then started again after a stressful event and smoked for another 3 years. This time i just eclipsed 3 years on this quit. And I am truly done for good this time.

Good luck Mike and winners never quit

[@SisterRachel70]

superb presentation - I've started her CBQ method of becoming a non-smoker. Already inspired and changing. Glory to God

[@Misscollage]

I applied this speech to my addiction to sugar. The hardest part is truly seeing yourself as someone who doesn’t eat sugar and to believe it’s possible to stop eating it. Every time I go to a restaurant I’m going to struggle with the temptation to order dessert. The same applies any time I go to a cafe, ride by an ice cream store, etc.

[@shawniethomas9200]

This is sooo aplicable to other bad habits!🤔 Especially the part about believing in the possibility and seeing myself as a non-smoker. I am just starting to apply these ideas and perspectives!🙏 🙏🙏

[@ResonNL]

Because of this Ted talk it was really easy to quit smoking. Even on my first day I only felt happy en relieved instead of horrible with cravings. I even took a couple of beers on the first day because I immediately felt that 'it' worked for me:D I smoked from 14 until 33 years, 25 sigarettes a day and I never tried to quit before. Im smoke free since May 19th 2020 and I thank u Nasia Davos. U changed my life and I thank u for that!

[@CBQMethod]

Thank you for letting me know :) You're welcome and congratulations on your success!

[@heidib4965]

I quit with no problems because I was afraid to get any disease. I smoked 15 years. It’s been 4 years now. The fear over came the sensation to smoke.

[@PaulJersey]

I was smoking and vaping at the same time. I quit cigarettes 6 weeks ago, and then vaping 2 weeks ago. I’m watching what I eat, limiting caffeine and alcohol, and lifting weights. Controlling the cravings is difficult she is 100% correct, but the advantages of not smoking are so many.

[@mediocrefloridaman]

Good job, Paul! I need to quit too. Thinking about gums or patches. Did you quit naturally?

[@PaulJersey]

@@mediocrefloridaman Thank you Andrew. I just quit cold turkey. It’s a struggle no mater how you quit, it’s easiest just to quit. Good Luck!

I choose squats to replace my smoking

[@LunalovaniaGaming]

It's funny you say that because I've started an exercise regimen and I'm still smoking but I smoke a lot less. A friend of mine told me that the more you exercise, the less you will want to smoke, and eventually not smoke at all. I've been doing this for a few days now and I usually smoke a pack a day. Today I smoked under a half a pack! I truly feel that exercise really heals the Brain. Especially with addiction. 👍☺

[@maunarose]

I am seriously impressed. Squats. Wow! I haven’t reached the replacement stage, but I’m thinking of letter writing.

I'm quitting THC and nicotine TODAY. after 15 years. I'm 26. Im using patches prescribed to me, just bought a TON of different kinds gum, and using an oxygen inhaler(like the ones from ski resorts + proair) to help. I want to be a surgical nurse. Wish me luck God 🙏 The best way to get rid of an addiction is to replace it!!!!!! I've always said that!! Wow thank you for the advice. Mine will be "I want yoga. I want to do yoga" instead of smoking:)
