The smell, seeing ashes in my car, the embarrassment I feel as people say you don't look like someone who smokes or you're too pretty to smoke and smell like that has caused me much embarrassment and shame over the years I'm literally disgusted with cigarettes but can't go a couple of hours without one no matter how hard I tried I have lived a very hard stressful life and cigarettes have been my best friend and my mind and my heart says stop just stop but it's like my hands and my mouth are not listening I've got to stop but the fear is so great

It's been almost 1.5 years since I've quit and I've found that my stamina has improved, my breathing is better and I feel a lot more at ease. The substitution with food is a real thing and I almost used to convince myself that it's OK to eat more, even if it was junk food at times, so long as I was not smoking. Now I'm past that phase as well. There is a very rare and occasional pang but nothing I don't stop thinking about after about 2 minutes.

@@tiwari033 Well, it's been a while, but as far I can remember, I used to feel a little distracted and had difficulty concentrating on work etc. I would always think of my family which was my strength to keep my my focus retained. I would also car pool which would help me meet new people and keep me occupied. To get rid of my constant craving, I would constantly resort to chewing gum (not nicotine tabs) to keep my mouth occupied and drink cold water to the best extent possible. Sometimes, even resorting to sugar candy and coffee or other fluids. Not saying that these are all good substitutes, but all said and done, you do need something to keep your mind off cigarettes for the first couple of months. After that it should be smooth sailing. Oh and if you're curious, I did go cold turkey.

Hi, very happy to have found this video. I've stopped smoking since May 3. on the same date my BP went as high as 150 and felt i was about to pass out. As part of my recovery I've decided to make serious lifestyle changes like proper diet and stop smoking. For a couple of days now, i've had several symptoms such as mouth sore (day 3 onwards), sore throat (day 5 til now). The worst symptoms i've experienced are 1. (day 2 til present) ALL DAY tingling sensation in arms and legs (almost close to being numb) - but when i prick/press my arms/legs i feel the sensation 2. ALL DAY dizziness and headache - since May 3 i've had this. Initially i thought it was bcoz of the high Blood pressure but now that my BP is in control, i still have it. If i read/watch anything for a prolonged period of time, my head hurts more. 3. the WORST (apart from the 2 above) - is that i would suddenly feel the loss of strength as if i am about to faint. This sensation lasts from say 1 minute an hour. (varies from time to time) I was thinking of smoking again just so i would know which of these symptoms are due to withdrawal and which could be because of another medical reason. Would appreciate any advice

[@LeQuito]

Day 5 for me. Mental warfare indeed! When i have thoughts of smoking , i quickly try to tell myself i never smoked what am i doing. Im telling myself i never smoked in the past!!

[@jaanu2222]

I've been smoking since 14-15 years , started in my first year of college , but since then slowly it's fked up my brain , I've now depression, anxiety, no motivation, and the worse thing is i can't feel emotions at all , maybe i am suffering from anhedonia , went to a psychiatrist she suggested antidepressants, after 20 i said I don't feel any improvements , she then finally said that quit smoking completely else nothing will work , also exercise, breathing, and go out more . So that's a wake up call for me , after coming from the clinic, i had 2 packs left , smoked like it's the last , after emptying those 2 packs , I've quitted smoking completely, it's been 7 days but I don't having much trouble of doing that , cause I've done it for 3 months two times before , i do have many withdrawal symptoms and they're some feelings that I can't even explain, but the main thing is that i don't have any urge to smoke , the cravings goes away in 3 days , yeah the psychological cravings do come like how i used to smoke , and also sometimes feels like why am i doing this , cause nothing is happening, but i also know it's all a trap to do smoke again, i know it's a long journey and i should maintain atleast 3+ months smoke free to actually feel the positive effects of quitting. So if you have a thought of quitting, it's never late , quit it as soon as you can , the journey would not be easy but have faith the results will be worth quitting.

Thank you so much for your cbq method. I want to quit smoking although I'm a drug addict and a liar i say I'll quit and go 4 to 8 days to 3 months without smoking something always happens and i make pitiful excuses for having just a billion cigarettes I hate smoking but I love them too. I'm going to try to stop smoking by watching your videos and try to not cry over cigerettes or get out loans to support my addiction. They're so expensive in nz for tabacco $110.90 for a 50gm and then your gotta buy the papers and filters so all up cost s around $115.00 and then you got to rashen them cos you cant keep buying them every 4 days omg I hate smoking wish I'd never started and it's been over 33 years gotta stop so I'm going to give it another go. I want to be free of this slavery and mental mind games that keep me hooked. So I'll be coughing and peeing alot and then the headaches I guess I'm going to have to replace smoking with cleaning. I'll have heaps of time to wash my walls.

[@imransiddique9944]

Can you please explain me why sometime i got panic attacks after quitting??

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

The weed lite has like less reaction time impairment so it's a lot safer for drivers but you still trip.

[@alexisforalexis2423]

Thank you βρε μωράκι. Φιλιά!❤💖❤

[@ivanpetrovski4510]

I am now 1 months smoke free after 26 years of smoking all thanks to watching this very informative videos. But now I have frequent heartburn? Is that normal side effect? Also at night time frequent need to urinate, maybe 3 times during a sleep time. Any info will be helpful

[@CBQMethod]

Hi Ivan, we're glad the videos helped. Congratulations on being 1 month smoke-free! 🎉 Smoking tends to make heartburn worse, and quitting smoking reduces heartburn. But how you experience the withdrawal depends on your overall health, mindset, and nutrition. Some people have reported heartburn after quitting smoking. Heartburn can also be caused by stress. If this persists, please talk to your doctor about it. And quitting smoking doesn't cause you to urinate more unless you're drinking more water.

[@allentriplet8666]

She should do one on quitting alcohol

[@eljota1633]

Thank you so much dr all your videos have helped me🙏🙏❤ been 4 months since l quit smoking, Shortness of breath is finally gone now, but l still have bloating stomach and sounds in intestines. It is annoying, is there a way to fix it. Should l be worried? Thanks l hope it goes away

[@CBQMethod]

Congratulations!! Bloating will also go away - if it persist ask your doctor what changes you can make to your nutrition so it will go away faster (because how you experience the withdrawal has a lot to do with your nutrition too)

[@sarahkhan8942]
