Thanks for watching! Comment below and let Manuela and I know what you took away from her journey that can help you quit smoking too :)
My takeaway was being accountable. I smoke for boredom and habit. I want to quit!
Thank you. Definitely an awesome testimony! I have taken away from her journey, the colouring book activity and most importantly of all, is to try and keep trying. Leave perfection out of it!
Excellent takeaways!! Thank you for sharing
Wat im taking away from this video is 'Do something. Distract urself. DONT TRY EVEN ONE'
Great lessons!
That part where she said her mom got diagnosed with cancer; i really felt that sincerely😢💜. And the way you said (im sorry) really really touched my soul! Your helping save people from something they (corporations) feel like we should never be able to bounce back from ever!! Thank you Nasia
I quit by following CBQ method for 2 months in 2020 , later one incident hooked me back to nicotine.
Nasia you are doing great job, helping people to overcome from addiction. Amazing job.
why did you restart?
You succeeded before and you can do it again! If an incident hooked you back to nicotine after being two months smoke-free, it means the 4th quit smoking stage "Condition your smoke-free life" was skipped. By going through all 4 quit smoking stages you can stop smoking and protect your success no matter what happens in life. You can watch what happens on the conditioning stage in this video: ua-cam.com/video/K7AfxYTfUx4/v-deo.html We wish you success!!
Experience and constant learning is important God bless here mother...
Thank you both
Amazing testimony, thank ypu! ❤
Awesome testimony. Thank you
Manuela is amazing!! Thank you for commenting :)
It feels good I only used snus. Last time i hold out 450 days. From smoke to snus, Snus extra strong to pouches. Then cold turkey.
I am 8 days clean from smoking and now I feel like I have flu. What is happening? I am also clean from Marijuana for 9 days. Now I don't know which symptoms I am feeling. Because I was smoking Marijuana and cigarettes and quit both more or less the same time. It feels bad.
I think you are amazing to have come as far as you have. A close membership of my family smoked both for more than 20 years and he too gave up .both. decided to give up, gave up and in all these 9 months has NEVER mentioned it. I just cannot believe it and believe it is truly one of God's miracles. It can ONLY be God's intervention. I gave up smoking 76 days ago after SIXTY YEARS and some days I struggle like crazy. I'll see how I feel after a year. Wish me luck 😂
@@heathervarcoe6894 Thank you. Your story is inspirational 76 days is alot of progress compared to my 8 days you inspire me to continue. Especially the fact that you managed to quit after 60 years it's amazing I've only smoked for 11 years. It must have been a struggle for you in the beginning. I wish you alot of luck and strength
@@MrPositive81 strangely enough the first couple of weeks are easier than the ones that follow. I encourage myself by reminding myself of how many others have suffered through it and prevailed. And when I say "suffered" through it, that's exactly what I mean. A dear friend of mine told me she thought of nothing but cigarettes from the moment she woke up to when she shut her eyes and that lasted a YEAR. So my friend if she and many others can do it, SO CAN WE. I will be praying to or you Mr Positive81. WE WILL PREVAIL 😂😂
