Thank you both for the video.I have to quit smoking for health reasons and several other reasons.I keep thinking of how you stress on working the whole program for it to work and on quitting completely on the 10th day.I am excited to join the group in the near future,and I keep telling myself that I can do it if i do each thing I am told to do.The thing I am worried about after quitting,is the coughing and whatever I will go through as a result of smoking since i was 14.Thank you for sharing your experience.Best of luck to you and hope to hear more inspirational stories.
Wow great story. I have quit and started again even after years😢 I watched my mom die from lung cancer at age of 77 miss her sooo much. Now I have trouble quitting again and I have ashma and want to quit again my life has been soo stressful since the pandemic it's like my willpower is just not there anymore and I have to quit cause my breathing is terrible but the cost is how much it's not free is it I'm from Canada and you both inspired me tdy let me know ❤
LOVE THAT: release it (tension) in any way that feels right…yell, walk, run, exercise…and all those involve deeper breathing and physically coursing the intensity through and out.
Good for Roy, both with the drinking and then with the smoking! My biggest take away from that is he knew that smoking is a behavioral addiction. It is true because I learned this by reviewing my smoker notebook when I went through the program. Any trigger brings us to smoke no matter if it’s boredom, stress, anger, sadness and happiness. Both Roy and I thought a little skeptical too about quitting in 10 days. When I reached my quit date and looked back, I couldn’t believe it myself. That’s an incredibly fast transformation. Now that I have quit 10 months ago, I feel that it’s like I never smoked at all. And I was a 40 year smoker!! One more thing, sorry, he is right when he says, you have to have that full desire to quit and once you do, work the program.
I'm on Day 6 of the program, and I hope and pray it works the same way for me. Honestly, I DO expect that it will be that easy when my Freedom Day comes, and I'll say to myself, "this is easy to do with the program, I don't know why I was afraid!" Thank you Nasia and Roy!!
I just watched the video with Nasia and Roy. It was inspiring and informative. Roy is a great example of how, with the tools and commitment, overcoming an addiction is possible. I'm enlisting the help of my kids, grandkids, and friends to help me stay motivated and committed. I lost my wife to lung cancer due to her smoking. It was devastating for all of us. I don't want to put my loved ones through it again. Stay with me on this, Nasia. I really want and need your help.
Like Roy I too have 12 step program I am quiting smoking I do know that I have to work to quit faith without work is Dead I've had enough of smoking thank u
That was a Great honest interview with Roy! So proud of him and I see a lot of my habits he had with coming home and have a cig. And how an inatiment object can have control over us. That can not speak or think ect....As long as we commit to program we can be successful! I will practice the hour in the morning before I go out and smoke. And em encouraged to do ur program! Thank You!
Thank you both for this one. I have 32 years of sobriety and it fit me very well. I also see the differences as well as some similarities with AA. Your whole program and the stages in the order you put them in is great. Roy had a lot of great comments about his journey. I have some major health problems and am still fighting it but as I read and watch more I get closer.
Thank you for watching! What did you take away from Roy’s journey that can help you in yours? Leave a comment below and let us know :)
