Thanks so much for watching! Do you think you should avoid your smoking triggers? Let me know in the comments below👇
I think on the one side you should because people use to sit somewhere comfrotable drink coffe and smoke for an hour maybe changing that can help. Im not sure
@@tanjas.1772 thank you for commenting ! What did you think after watching the video?
@@CBQMethod i always remember you said " Nothing you read or hear from this videos can help you so much like when you make your own expirience " I think its worth to try "survive" A situation without ciggarets. But it feels painful and im afraid
Nasia, I've been awake since 8:30am. I've only had three cigarettes so far today, at 3:30pm. I just started dating again and the woman I'm dating is the CEO of a non-profit business based in Bridgeport, CT. She is a non-smoker but doesn't mind smokers. When she and I go out (like last night), I rarely smoke at all and I only smoke outside and stand away from her (so as not to make her clothing smell badly).
6 weeks nicotine free now. Thankful so much Nasia
Congratulations on your success!!
did you feel as same as me i feel dizzy after i eat
@Vape Girl ive been drinking a lots of water and honey with lemon in water too
Hi, I wanted to tell you I’ve watched many of your videos. I’ve also watched a lot of others, I’ve been a smoker since I was about 14 off and on . Then realized I was hooked in my 20’s, I grew up around smokers my whole life. Both parents were heavy few pack a day smokers, I’d take there’s when they weren’t looking. Then my father one day found out I was smoking, his response was “ if your going to smoke, pay for your own”. He didn’t seem upset at all, other then the fact I was taking his. So to me that was permission to smoke, which I did. I’m now 58 yrs old, I’ve been smoking a pack a day for many years. I lost my father years ago due to his alcoholism, I lost my mother a few years ago. She got cold and had a lot of breathing problems, she got cancer a couple times and beat it. But her he a never got much better, she quit smoking after a couple times getting so sick she ended up in the ER. It was years later after she quit that her breathing go so much worse, I don’t want to end up like she did. I’ve learned a lot from your videos, and from others I’ve watched. Now I know I have the fuel I need to quit for good, I’ve tried many many times. Now I have my first grand child coming soon, I don’t want her to know me from the smell of cigarettes etc. I don’t want her to ever know I was a smoker, and never know what I smelled like when I was. Today is the day I picked for my quit day, I know this time I’m going to make it. I have many reasons to quit, other then my grandchild coming. So, I wanted to say thank you for your very educational videos. This is the help and information I needed to help me better understand the reasons I smoke, I’ve known the reasons for my health for a long time. But now I feel I have the ammunition I’ve never had before, I feel so great about being a non smoker I want to shout out to the heavens about it. Lol. So please keep up doing what you do to help smokers to be non smokers, so many more people can truly benefit from what you teach. 🌸😊
Thank you Nasia. My smoking was directly linked to anxiety. When i was anxious i would smoke and then beat myself up for smoking. It has been a while now. My goal is to get through the year without smoking, one step at a time.
That's a great goal! You'll see that your anxiety will decrease the longer you stay smoke-free!
Same here. Starting 4 days ago.
Thank u for all ur good hard work and videos. It encourages to quit.
Cold Turkey since 3rd feb, after 40 years of smoking . So far so good.
Wish me luck
Mr Naibara strength and good luck to you and your efforts ✌️
Since the beginning of time no human has ever been able to successful run away from their Triggers, it's impossible. You must conquer and overcome your triggers or they will follow you to your grave...
agreed! thanks for sharing.
Nasia I totally agree with you on the aspect of confronting your fears and taking the triggers head on. I have been able to successfully abstain from smoking while being in situations where I earlier used to smoke. I have been able to overcome my cravings and break all the associations. I truly feel that the size and stature of the smoking monster has diminished by the day. Now I rarely get the thought of smoking and I am able to brush it off so easily. And the best part is that I have started my running regimen like earlier times and I envision how good it is to run without any wheasing and shortness of breath whenever I encounter a craving thought. Hence I am able to convince myself that I don't have to go back to the addiction and Never Take Another Puff
Thanks you for the video, I really appreciate it. I feel like I'm in a drunken fuzzy mind state as the toxins exit my body naturally. It's actually quite a weird feeling, yet quite liberating at the same time. I'm normally an extremely self-aware human yet I have absolutely far less control over my speech, and normal awareness within myself. It's quite comical yet annoying at the same time. Putting logic and the reasoning behind the withdrawal symptoms makes prefect sense.
Congratulations James! Withdrawal = detox, healing, and physical/emotional reset. It will be over before you know it :)
Thank you for your help! After 12 years of smoking 2-3 packs per day the shift to no smoking was so easy! I thought that quitting would be hard but this has been so easy with your help.
that's amazing! Congratulations Jesse!
I want to quit & my husband doesn't 😕 It's been almost a month since I quit.
That sounds frustrating. I know what that's like. I'm trying to quit, but my mom isn't.
@@joshuariddensdale2126 It's really not because I'm so determined to quit.
@@kimberlytobias1647 As am I. It's taken a few attempts, but I'm more determined than ever to quit this time.
Living with someone who smokes as a non smoker, treat it like you're cranking up the difficulty setting in a video game
It shows your stronger in the mind then your husband. Tell him he is weak minded. His ego will want to prove you wrong. :)
This one was PERFECT for today!!
I do think you should avoid your triggers. And it's so important to identify said triggers so you can cope with them.
Thank you for commenting. Yes, you should definitely know your triggers. About avoiding them.... the answer is in the video :)
@@CBQMethod Thanks for making such great videos and for being on Instagram. You're so helpful in my quitting journey.
@@CBQMethod I agree that you should face your triggers with determination, I did and am better off for it, thx!!
Cold turkey random quit over 5 momths ago. Watching your videos are very helpful. Thank you!
I am so glad I found you this has answered a lot of questions. I don't know if you know the answer to this question but, What if I live with a smoker who isn't going to quit, will it still benefit me to continue quitting?
Thank you for commenting Kimberly. Living with another smoker is challenging when you still desire smoking and try to resist it with willpower. When you change how you think about smoking you won’t feel tempted when someone is smoking next to you, you will feel glad you don’t have to!
+ Quit smoking first and foremost for you. Don’t wait for your partner to quit so things can be easier. There will always be different challenges and there is no perfect time to quit. Make your move now!
Thank you so much
Amazing ... what a presentation! You are amazing. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I quit over a week ago and feel great every day knowing I'm making healthy choices..I recently went to a friend's house and actually looked forward to conquering this trigger(my biggest trigger), and I knew if I did , I was on easy street! I know look forward to being around these situations to prove I'm stronger 💪🙂
Well done, Joe! Every time you're in a situation where you used to smoke, and you don't, you're rewiring and teaching yourself how to be a nonsmoker in that situation. And with time, all craving thoughts will become less and less frequent until you rarely think about smoking anymore. 💪
Your so beautiful & ty for the motivation & info!
Good,
Waking up tomorrow will be my real test.....
I like your videos. I am helped by watching these. But haven't taken the leap. A neighbor that smoked said it was helpful when she removed all items connected. I only need a quit date.
First thing I do when I wake up. SMOKE
Not much point avoiding triggers. They're lurking around every corner. If waking up in the morning is your biggest trigger, you going to be in a lot of trouble. I think it would be exhausting & stressful running from triggers all day, every day for the rest of your life.
agreed! thank you for commenting
I use a different tobaco product called snus, a tobaco product made in Sweden. A day I snus 10 or 12 pouches snus which I put under my upper lip getting about 168 to 140 mg total nicotine in my body a day. Every time I try to stop snusing, I feel the massive hit of withdrawal and that makes it hard for me to stop. Also because I kinda like to use it. Even tho I want to quit, like you said in the video. It's an abusive relationship.
But video is great
But how we get calm when triggers faced
Nasia your videos are great! You seem to have the same basic philosophy as Alan Carr, but I appreciate the effort you make. I relapsed after 12 days. Ughhhh!
Hi Zar, thank you for your comment. This video will show you 3 reasons why your attempt didn’t last and what to do about it so you can succeed: ua-cam.com/video/z65h-yFQ-HA/v-deo.html
You can do this! 💪
EDIT: +The advice to encounter your triggers comes from CBT and exposure therapy, which has been around for a long long time. If you see in all my videos I not only explain what to do but I also go in depth into the why - because everything I teach comes from psychology.
@@CBQMethod thank you for the replies Nasia. You do great work and I find your videos very informative and well presented. Take good care of yourself. God bless.
hi again nasia on my 5weeks wothdrawal i feel dizzy and my heart beat fast is it normal????
Hi Mark, congratulations on being 5 weeks smoke-free! When you quit, your body starts getting more oxygen, and it takes a bit of time to get used to it and adjust. This can cause dizziness. This can last from 1-4 weeks.
Considering the fast heartbeat, nicotine raises your blood pressure and speeds up your heart rate. Palpitations can also be a symptom of nicotine withdrawal, but they should stop within 3 to 4 weeks after quitting.
If you're experiencing dizziness and fast heartbeat 5 weeks after quitting smoking, then it may not be because of quitting. We recommend talking to your doctor about it. This video will show you the withdrawal symptoms, how long it lasts, and how to face them: ua-cam.com/video/XYeoCzUgwJA/v-deo.html
weight loss is more affecting my body answer please???? and do you have any other account that i can talk to you in private??? pleaseee
Hi Mark, thank you for your comment. The weight loss may not be because of quitting smoking. Did something happen that may have caused you to lose weight? You can email our support team at support@cbqmethod.com
hi again nasia. it is withdrawal from smoking and alcohol can make your hearth palpitate?? or irregular hearth beat?
Hi Mark, thanks for your comment. Nicotine raises your blood pressure and speeds up your heart rate. Palpitations can also be a symptom of nicotine withdrawal, but they should stop within 3 to 4 weeks after quitting. If you're worried about the cause of your palpitations, we recommend talking to your doctor about it.
how about withdrawal of alcohol too? can it raises palpitations?
Heart palpitations can be a symptom of alcohol withdrawal based on this research article: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6761825/
We'd still recommend talking to your doctor about it if you're worried about the cause of your palpitations.
Afrer quitting smoking I am not able to concentrate on one thing
And i am not able to stick to one decission that too taken by mee . Afraid of this whether this is longlasting or how many days it will be there ......
Please will u reply ...
Hi Prashanth, congratulations on quitting smoking! Lack of concentration is due to the brain’s increased oxygen flow. And due to the craving thoughts that keep popping up in your mind and interrupt you. Within a few weeks, you will be able to concentrate better as a non-smoker because your brain will get enough oxygen, and you won’t have to keep interrupting your train of thought to smoke. You can learn more about nicotine withdrawal and how to deal with them in this article: ua-cam.com/video/XYeoCzUgwJA/v-deo.html
hi nasia is sMoking affects HYPOTHYROIDISM?
Hi Mark, thanks for commenting. Yes, smoking affects hypothyroidism. Many studies have shown that cigarette smoking exerts multiple effects on the thyroid gland. Below are further research on the topic:

can i drink alcohol when having withdrwal from smoking?
Hi Mark, thank you for your comment. As Nasia mentioned in her video, you don't have to avoid alcohol after quitting smoking (or while experiencing withdrawal symptoms). However, it’s best to pace your drinking until you feel comfortable in your smoke-free life. It would be a good idea if at first, you had just one drink while socializing or had a glass of water in between drinks. :)
SO the goal here is to not avoid or fight the trigger, but work on not smoking and show yourself, your sub conscious that you can enjoy the task without having a cigarette so you can re train your brain and teach yourself you do not need the cigarette?
So change how you behave and go about your day.
Triggers make my head hurt 😔
also me i feel dizzy but im 5 weesk free smoking
i would give 20 years of my life to see your cute beautiful face ... words cannot describe the feeling i get when i saw first saw you first speaking with that european accent and with an angel face like yours I love you
