Do This If You Had A Slip-Up or Relapse After Quitting Smoking

- What do you do if you have a slip-up or a relapse? How to get back on track without struggling? Should you reset your quit date? And when is it better to set a new quit date? I explain everything in this video!
💡Contemplating relapse is not the same as being educated about relapse. If someone seeks permission and reasons to smoke, this is a sign they still desire smoking and see it as something valuable. The solution to that wouldn't be to say, "relapse is part of the process," but to go back to the drawing board and change that mindset so they will stop desiring smoking - overcoming this mental addiction is what the 4 stages of the CBQ Method help you with.

Done over a year nicotine free now thanks to you 🫁❤
Love it!! Huge congratulations on your success!!
I had people around me smoking, & I felt that I was terribly craving a cigarette (I quit cold turkey on Oct. 3rd, 2021), then someone handed me a cigarette...and I thought about what I was really craving, & it was totally emotional, & I thought of all of the positives healthwise & financially that I've gained over the past 17 months, & that "craving feeling" disappeared, & I gave her back her cigarette. This has happened many times, and I constantly work on becoming emotionally healthy & strong❤ Thank you for your supportive videos😊
You are very welcome!! Well done for protecting your success! In this video, I share some helpful tools and tips to help you understand and remove this craving feeling easily: ua-cam.com/video/6KyjpZ4-R-M/v-deo.html
@@CBQMethod Thank you, because I'm very strict with myself & felt that taking the cigarette was somewhat of a failure.
I had a slip up after 6 weeks because I had back to back problems one day. Upset, shaking, and ready to scream, I broke and smoked 2 cigs. I got back on track and messed up again when I got bad news. Now I'm 24 hours since my last slip up but I am so mad at myself for being so weak. I've smoked 45 years and I'm going on oxygen 24-7 if I don't quit.😢
I’m proud of you!! I hope you’re still going strong! You have given me encouragement.
@@cherylgraphman2596 it has to stop being what makes you happy, you have to stop going to it as a crutch or to feel happy. even IF youre having back problems even IF you get bad news, turning to the cigs is just another failure on top of it.
I have quit now for 3rd time, each time i get bad depression after a few weeks and start again. i will persevere as i have serious health issues.😅
I was on the third day. I couldn’t resist having one. I smoked it and I hated myself. Thanks to you I feel better knowing that I am not weak.
Btw, your videos helped me quit smoking 2yrs ago coming to 3yrs April 3rd😊
I am here because for the first time in 2.5 years I have found myself smoking again. I think that I flirted with the idea of "Its one puff, I can handle this" when I took a drag off of a friend. Before I knew it, I was socially smoking. Now, I am smoking 4-6 a day. I am going to be so honest, I am really scared. I am feeling like "You got yourself back into one of the furthest holes you could fall into again" and I cannot afford any programs to quit. So this information matters to me.
I relapsed and was so disgusted and angry with myself that I just could not get restarted on the program again but I just finished watching the video on slip-ups or relapse it motivated me to stop beating myself up and get back in the program and look deep onto what I didn't do that got me off track thank you so much.
I did relapse after 5 years
And I started with one sigi and 3 days after I bought one packet after 5 years smoking again I started to quit 6 days
Quitting experience was best moment in my life
I threw away over half of my last pack when I had a brief relapse last year. That helped a lot as it was like throwing money away. I am coming up on a year smoke-free and have been trying to kick the habit for a long time now. These videos have helped a lot. Thank you.
I did the same, best way to get back on the horse!
I remember when I relapsed many years ago, I WANTED to smoke I had a conscious desire to smoke even after six months, the reason being I needed a release and smoking used to be my release as well as a couple of beers. It's not rational behaviour and it took me a while to figure it out. Never take another puff.
Thank you so much for everything! I’m Coming up on two years smoke free, you saved my life! These videos are changing lives and saving the world one person at a time! 🎊 😊❤
I tried quitting for the first time and on the 4th day i caved and smoked and immediately after i put it out I regretted it
I had my first lapse after completing the program, 16 days before I reached two months nicotine -free. I experienced no enjoyment form my lapse. I am on my quit journey from vaping, so instead of buying the $20+ fruity vapes, I bought one from the $5 bin. I knew in my mind it would be temporary and I just needed comfort to get through the evening. The next day I trashed it. But then, the third day I lapsed AGAIN, and I went and got another $5 vape. This vape was even worse, I do no idea why I was smoking it. On the fourth day, I recommitted. and I decided I must keep moving forward in my journey. In a little more than a week I will still celebrate making it to two-months nicotine free. Even though I have more to go, I am really proud of the work and results so far!
Thank you for watching! Have you ever experienced a slip-up? How did you handle it? Let me know in the comments below 👇
I'm on day 13 and have yet to slip but I so appreciate knowing how to handle it in advance if it ever happens. Thank you so very much for all that you do
@@leewilliams2310 Congratulations!! The number 1 and very best way to handle a relapse is to avoid it so keep protecting your success!!🎉
I have just relapsed after my 15th time of trying in 3 years. I got to 17 hours but I feel SO UNMOTIVATED to do ANYTHING in my day when quitting - I feel paralysed mentally and physically, even though I feel great for the first 5 hours. Something just snaps and I don't have '10-minute cravings' as all the advice says, my craving and discomfort is permanent and lasts hours until I give in. I use smoking to motivate me to do tasks in my day and I don't know how to overcome it.
Thats me am crying right now trapped
Yeah I get it - you have to plan the first 14 days with just activities and food - pack it in especially for the first 72 hours so whatever you have to do those 3 days do it - also I still desire to smoke but I realize I’m just conquering old simulation situations every day - most of the time it’s because I have nothing else to do- so plan plan plan- I still have to remind myself that quitting nicotine is not giving up something it’s what I’m gaining and sometimes that’s hard- I just have to remind myself it’s like 5-10 minutes and it passes - you can handle 5-10 minutes I smoked for 33 years
Been free for majority of 4 months it really has been a roller coaster, I feel like Iv kicked it for the most part but there have been like 4-5 slip ups (1 cigarette per slip up) and it always happens after like a really good heavy meal with some drinks, it just feels so good 😫
I didn’t go back down the rabbit holes of smoking, but still wish I didn’t crave it when I get in those situations
It's been four months now since I had my last cigarette. After 3 months, I felt really great and proud that my first and last quite smoking attempt was a succes. Last week unfortunately I made the mistake of using a vape (e-sig) - after a concert I was in a euphoric mood. Now my cravings are back, like I am in the first week of quitting smoking cigarettes. Yesterday I almost gave in to the cravings. I realise now that quitting smoking is something that you have to work on 24/7, the false sense of victory can be deceiving. Good luck guys!
I vaped for years. I quit on Thanksgivng of this year cold turkey. I gave in to the cravings and just smoked half a black and mild. I feel terrible about it. You’re right; I cannot let this lapse get in the way of my overall improvement. I let myself down, but when that happens, I have to pull myself back up. I do not consider myself at day one again, but I did lose some progress. Here’s to the collective struggle, and rising above. Cheers everyone, and a happy New Year.
I had a slip up but your advice is helping
I'm 54 and have tried multiple times through my life. I've always tried the patch do fine until I move to step 3 and I live with a smoker so its always available. I start sneaking cigs. I think its time for a different method. Your method will help me!❤🙏😊
I was a happy non-smoker for two years and then relapsed. Electing to research how smoking changes/affects your body was my trigger. I found out that the little hairs will cause you to struggle with inhalations. For some unknown reason I had to verify if this was true. I smoked and yes it was true--cough cough until you can't cough anymore. One puff & I was back to smoking two cig. a day. Discovery: I did the work and became smoke free but missed two stages, Long -Term preparation, and stage 4. Having too much knowledge may not always be the best. It is a struggle getting back but not impossible.
We are recovering nicotine addicts for life. Never take another puff.
I can't seem to change my smoking identity. I quit 9 months ago. For 7 months I didn't lapse. I started this program but didn't do it all the way and had a hip replacement that I had chose for my quit date because by the time I was off the drugs the nicotine would be out of my body. I'm 62 and started smoking at 15. I finished the program but still see myself on my back deck smoking and just relaxing. All summer last year I avoided my favorite spots thinking if I just lasted long enough it would go away. I wish I had been more serious about the program before I quit because maybe I wouldn't still be wanting to do my old patterns. I smoked with my friends at my favorite ranch and I felt such relief, this is me! I consider every time I do this a lapse because I haven't went back to my normal and have not bought cigarettes even though I have thought about it, luckily I have not. I just want to be done with thinking about it at all. I know this is a slippery slope and I'm glad you taught me not to persecute myself. I journal the lapse and call it a day.
Your efforts are appreciated. You are doing great job. Success is measured by your intentions and not by the number of people who quit smoking. Hats off to you.
Thank you for your kind words. However, I believe success is measured not by intention but by how many lives one has impacted positively.
@@CBQMethod you are right; positive result of good intentions and hard work is a byproduct and is likely to happen, but the first step is always intention which triggers rest of the things. But the bottom line is that you are doing great.
I think once you've been subjected to nicotine the brain is permanently re wired which is why it's so easy for ex smokers to return to smoking. What amazes me is that the brain seems to short circuit itself and suspends the self protection mechanisms that normally trigger when we're faced with danger. It is an evil addiction and Sir Walter Raleigh has a lot to answer for :)
I had 10 over the course of 1 week.
What caused it was feeling great after 3 months off.
2 days off them again
I had a fun party with boys with alcohol first time i smoke 3 cigarette from that day I had everyday 1 cig .. i will quit from now completely i hope it will work well thanku so much
Got copd done 3 months but when u suffering constant narcissistic abuse & no support i smoked some weed twice now as sick of shoulders constantly in pain. I feel like death be respite. Yes ive read Allen carr & thats how i did it
I did it on day 5, I am proud on my lack of 150 I missed smoking in 5 days, I am proud on not having panic attacks in these 5 days, being able to exercise without feeling dizzy af, due to high CO levels before in my body.
I smoked 3 cigarettes, first one hit me like a train. But I will keep on going.
I didn't even enjoyed it anyway. I did those 2 after. But I will just do Nicorette gum 2mg next time if I really need it.
I have father dying basically and trouble with job (will be solved) and under pressure and I am sure this made me stronger.
Aftee 23 years 5 days without told me I'm proud I didn't smoke for 5 days and will continue.
Dunno if it will reset my cravings again but I hope those 5 days will help me proceed more.
I don't even stress, I gave myself a ywar to stop and will start with Nicorette gums as I was heavy smoker. I went cold turkey but didn't have those dunno what to do with hands or drinking coffee without it and simillar stuff.
I just hated feeling cravings so I don't miss cigarettes and will get to it sooner or later
Hi thank you for youre amazing lesson but i have question does 2 cigaret as a slip destroy all brain recovery and i should start from day one or the progress of brain recovery is remain or just a little hurt happen and i should continue from 1 mounth sober that i am?
I had bad side effects of niccorete spray
I keep trying to understand why i get these cravings that can last over some hours. I have stopped smoking for 6 weeks with a relapse twice smoking one cigarette each time. I feel near to tears like its week 1/2 again. Im not sure where im going wrong 😢

Hello Nasia can you help me how to deal craving while drinking alcohol
Are you only experiencing cravings when drinking alcohol or do you feel this is when you experience the strongest cravings? You can find more tips here: ua-cam.com/video/sCY3K8b2n7Q/v-deo.html
Smoking and drinking is a pair of handcuffs for many. When trying to quit, you can't have one w/o the other, so drop them both. That should go smoother if you aren't an alcoholic
I m going to have my brorher for vacations. He smokes like crazy. I am afraid i will relapse because i want to harm myself. What should i think?
Mine is I can requit again... which is a lie...
All we need is a happy non smoker
I am very careless. When i drink i will always buy cigarettes. And i smoked for weeks and then i feel something not good in my body and i stopped. But it always smoke when drinking.
Maybe try to Stop drinking too?
Same for me. I stay away from alcohol.
I can't make past 3 or 4 days. Help me please
I made it 4 days but caved that 4th night and im pissed at myself
I relapse after a meal...😮
I am off the smokes now for 10 days after my heart attack. I smoked for 30 years and LOVED smoking. I have been ok for the last 10 days with short and sharp cravings..... I am taking a business trip to China next month and am worried about relapse
What if you quit smoking for 2yrs then end up vaping😥
You congratulate yourself on your great progress and move forward to quit vaping too. Definitely recommend watching how Katia quit vaping with the CBQ Method: ua-cam.com/video/T-6JOM4e3zY/v-deo.html
@CBQMethod thank you soo much i will watch this and am sure it will like like all your other videos😊
The way to handle slipispupsps is to stay out of 12 strp

Same hea
Have you ever been a smoker?? Just wondering?
Yes! This method was developed out of my own struggle to stop smoking 10 years ago. I used my background in psychology and modeled the patterns of happy non smokers :)
@@CBQMethod Allen Carr already created the method, it's good to see other people continuing his excellent work.
