Starting day two of your quit

[@danrichman1]

Joel, I worked successfully with you in a program in Chicago many years ago. Then I started smoking cigars like cigarettes 2.5 years ago out here in Seattle and am so happy to find you online! There is no one like you out there, and the world owes you thanks for your ongoing hard work and inspiration. I'm on Day Two of the quit and counting! THIS TIME: i'll NTAP!

[@JamesVernon]

This message is to thank you for your commitment to providing this material to people who can benefit from it. Especially without available local support groups, these videos provide a much-needed distraction in the early stages of withdrawal.

[@margaretcarino8753]

Hi Joel, I am on Day 2 and I feel awesome!

[@joelspitz]

Glad to hear it Margaret. Some people feel good from the get go, never really experiencing much of a withdrawal. The only reason they may have put off quitting for a long time is how bad they thought it was going to be. Then it may turn out not to be bad at all.

I came across these videos by accident and I and really glad i did they have really helped so far with lots of useful info. I am 43 hours into my quit and am very determined to make this work and am looking forward to completing day 3 tomorrow and being one step closer to the end of withdraw! Good Luck to all and Thanks Joel for these videos!!

[@pl-tq9py]

Just to jump back on here and say,I watched Joel’s,videos and did them to the latter. After 26 years of been a smoker,I am now coming up to 2 years cigarette free 🙏🏻🥳🥳🥳!! Absolutely beyond amazing how this works. Forever grateful for finding this man and the help he freely gives away. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ from an ex smoker 😁

[@pacoval4577]

Day 2 in full effect. Thanks for the video. Friendly tip: use the quit to catch up on exercise missed during your smoking days. Feels like having new set of lungs plus the endorphins make me forget the nicotine crave.

[@anny8603]

Just finished day 1 and it was not to to bad. Just keep listening to Joel's video's as he is the top of help for smoking addiction! Thank you, Joel.

[@lottahope6721]

Thank you Joel. You have helped so many people. Hope you are well.

[@joelspitz]

You are very welcome Marie. And yes I am fine.

[@MySharilyn]

Day 2 Joel!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Hope you have a great day today and Thanks!! I watched all the videos from day one and read the material. I am going to watch the videos for day 2 today. Thank you Joel, for all the information and all the help! Also I wrote to You Tube about your email problem and I will let you know what they say!

[@joelspitz]

Yes let me know if you hear anything back from them Shari-Lyn. Hope you find the day two videos helpful. Joel

[@coyoteskye1]

THANK YOU for these videos. I just discovered them and I'm already into this quit by 30 hours, so on day 2. Trying to play catchup on the videos and they're extremely helpful. I've said at work time and again, "Instead of paying for Chantix for us to quit, can't you pay for us to go to therapy instead?" THIS is my therapy. Again, Thank You!

[@justinmechanic17]

Day 2 closing. Cranberry juice helps unbelievably. Starting to feel normal more frequent. Thanks for the videos.

[@meshonte]

These videos are so helpful. Thank you! Day 2!!!! Feeling more confident already :).

[@joelspitz]

Glad that you are finding the videos helpful Melissa B. Congratulations on making it to day two now. Get through day three and things will really ease up, if they have not already done so. The page whyquit.com/joels-videos/the-importance-of-the-first-three-days-of-your-quit/ explains why this is the case. I am hoping that you have already gone through the day one videos too. If not, consider doing so now or at least going through the resources on the page whyquit.com/joels-videos/can-you-spare-about-an-hour-and-a-half-to-help-to-save-your-life/. If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding smoking or quitting issues please don't hesitate to get in touch. Joel

[@1313ladieluck]

@@joelspitz I just love your advice and guiding people to a better time in there lives- Smoking can be overcome with support and determination-

[@joelspitz]

Yes support can help but in reality, even people without support can often pull off successful quits. I mention this for I don't want people who do not find such support to ever feel that quitting is beyond their abilities. Here are a few pages addressing this issue: whyquit.com/joels-videos/my-support-group-is-responsible/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/are-people-doomed-to-fail-if-they-dont-get-professional-help-to-quit-smoking/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/breaking-free-from-nicotines-grip-is-more-doable-than-most-people-think/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/quitting-smoking-can-be-a-very-lonely-experience/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/i-liked-my-other-support-group-more/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/the-pitfalls-of-forming-a-buddy-system-to-quit-smoking/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/i-couldnt-have-done-it-without-you/ Determination on the other hand is quite an important factor for insuring success. I consider another name for determination to be commitment. The following page address that issue: whyquit.com/joels-videos/a-99-9-commitment-to-quit-smoking-will-fail/

Thanks again Joel i told someone about how i quit and they quit too- They saw your video and it helped him- We are both non smokers- I still get a thought every now and then but i read the list you talked in one of your videos about making a list and i have done that- Now hey i am a non smoker and i feel great-

Thank you so much

[@hutzone]

Hi Joel: I am on my day two, the first day was great , today was really hard, the craving was killing me , but I know that I made my mind already I DON;T LIKE TO BE A SMOKER, ITS BOTHER ME THAT I WAS A SMOKER, I WANT TO BE FREE OF ADDICTION, i am free

[@debbiebarrow7557]

Hey Joeli admit I feel like crap got some cranberry juice the headache is killing me..

[@joelspitz]

Hello Deborah: Here are a few pages that relate to how common headaches can be during the first 72 hours of a quit: whyquit.com/joels-videos/minimizing-the-most-common-side-effects-to-quitting-smoking/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/why-i-recommend-cranberry-juice-when-first-quitting-smoking/ whyquit.com/joels-videos/the-importance-of-the-first-three-days-of-your-quit/ Keep in mind, if the headache you are having is simply from quitting smoking it will generally be better once getting past the 72 hour mark and possibly sooner. The page whyquit.com/joels-videos/quitting-smoking-a-fate-worse-than-death/ addresses how while the symptom is annoying it is really a short term reaction and will help you avoid a lot more suffering throughout your life. As I said here if the symptom is simply from nicotine withdrawal it will improve soon. Being that there are other problems that can cause headaches, if you feel as if the headaches are literally "killing you" as you say, check in with your doctor. The page whyquit.com/joels-videos/is-anyone-else-experiencing-the-symptom-of/ has a number of resources attached highlighting the fact that while nicotine withdrawal causes many symptoms people can experience after stopping smoking, it is not responsible for all symptoms people have after they have quit. Life goes on without smoking and other variables may be at play. The pages whyquit.com/joels-videos/life-goes-on-without-smoking/ and whyquit.com/joels-videos/when-you-may-really-need-to-talk-to-your-doctor-about-quitting-smoking/ highlight this issue. Keep in mind, you truly are truly fighting for your health and for your life by quitting and its worth all of the effort that you are putting into it. Congratulations on getting through your first day. Hope you find all of the resources here helpful. Joel

I am assuming that you found the Turkeyville site on Facebook. I actually don't participate their because I rarely use Facebook and don't have much of a Facebook presence. The moderators there do utilize most of my resources and occasionally contact me if questions arise that they suspect I have resources for that they cannot locate. The best way to reach me directly though if you ever have any questions is via the comment section on any video here or at the AskJoel video linked here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLHooGpa7p1pbc
