Christina Reynolds LoL ... I don’t know wether to laugh or cry... it’s a psychological mind game. Yet I find so many reasons and moments that trigger the behavior, and the satisfaction from it, makes you desire it more. When I’m surrounded by people that aren’t smokers or are ill , I don’t smoke around them , could spend 10 hours with them and I’m fine , no anxiety. But when o leave and. I’m in my car or at my personal space my heart starts pumping , the anguish increases and the craving becomes overwhelming. And that feeling is my main fear to quitting . At the same token I’m conscious that I’m giving cigarettes the power to beat my will . Quit smoking comes to everyone in different way. I know I will reduce more and more til I’m no longer doing so
@Christina Reynolds That has been my experience. Everyone around me can see the difference in my skin tone I look and feel so much better. And yes sleep is also so much better and I can recuperate so much more. There is no downside to stopping smoking. It's like getting back to normal, the way it should be. I have smoked for about 35 years and have quit over a year ago and have never looked back. Not to mention all the money I saved so far. This is a no brainer . I stopped by reading Allen Carr's the Easy Way to stop Smoking. All the best.
i quit cold turkey ..i smoked weed for 8 years and everything that could b smoked...and believe me it was very tough for me but somehow i accumulate power in myself to just get rid of it...and now m clean for about 3 months and m really enjoying myself now
bruh... i quit weed and start smoking again a couple of times every year .. weed is completely different ... tobacco on the other hand .. i have been a daily smoker for over 7 years and i cant quit ... i've tried 3 times each time lasting a week, or untill the weekend .. and then i would get drunk again and i would start smoking again .. now i have been drug/alcohol free for about 6 months because i focused on school but i cant drop the ciggs ..
@@c_farther5208 hang in there man, I haven't gotten the ghost pack phenomenon you speak of, but I had a full body itchy as hell rash as my veins circulation got better. I think things like your experience and other extreme cases of physical or mental symptoms of withdrawal need to be discussed. I think the happy go lucky websites that tell you no major symptoms will occur after 5 to 8 days are misleading.
10th day here ... Feeling fantastic! Breathing easy walking easy. Digestion is better then every before. Vision is clear. Much active then before. I smoked for 17 years.
Since you keep this posted, can I ask if you did quit and what method did you use? I did but the only successful quit was when I used the 4 mg nicotine gum. I was opposed to it initially, but it did the job.
I can finally breathe again!!! The devil has been behind my ass though.... trying to tempt me through stressors and other smokers offering me cigarettes [ sharing is caring] but it's going great guy thank you for your support, I support yall so much please quit. Read the book called outwitting the devil and you'll see why smoking and drinking are tools the devil uses to weaken you and your health, health is the most important thing one could have.... be blessed.
i just quit, said the prayer, "thank you Jesus for setting me free from smoking" as i was smoking a freshly lit cigarette. I heard his voice in my heart, saying back to me. "if you want to quit, you are free now." i snapped the cig in half, and tossed it out the car window. i feel the freedom in my mind. thank you x 40
This has to be the most helpful video I've ever seen on quitting. I've quit twice where it was relatively 'easy' because I was in the right mindset... I am quitting for the last time soon and needed to hear this to get back towards that right mindset. Turning it into a punishment, martyrdom, self-disapproval NEVER worked for me. I had to twist and bend the situation until I could do it out of self love. Until it became _spoiling myself_ to quit instead of _depriving myself_ . Thank you. I will be watching this video daily.
My dad was a HEAVY smoker for 55 years. Trust me, he was a chain smoking addict who rolled his own. He had a health scare of heart palpitations and stopped COLD TURKEY. Never touched another cigarette~ever. This proves it CAN be done! How bad do you want to quit!? It’s all in the mind 😊
This is me again nearly 2 years later. Still not smoking cigs . I did pick up vaping to quit smoking cigs . It did help obviously, but I am so happy to say that today is 18 days since I put down the vape too!!!
Your comment is just 3 days old and I hope you're holding up and still fighting! I'm also in the process of kicking this 15 year ADDICTION out (1 pack a day), replacing it with nicotine gum and patches (baby steps). Siggghhh, I seriously wish I'd stop smoking for good. 😢
Three days in after quitting cold turkey. This is my first time quitting after smoking 1 1/2 packs a day for the past 8 years. I'm having a bit of a hard time but watching videos like this is helping a lot, thanks! So ready to not have this ridiculous ball and chain attached to me!
I’m 34 and I smoked for almost 20 years. I did quit but got back to because of alcohol. Anyway. I quit now, cold turkey, about 6 days ago. And I can see that Smoking wasn’t my only problem, but it was connected with a lot of other habits, like taking my time and being lazy. I had some health issues, but it’s nice to get rid of a certain lifestyle. I had a lot of associations with smoking, bit by bit they go away. To everyone who wants to quit: get through the first 3 days and then 5 It’s possible
I am over 2 years on and off into smoking. I absolutely hate it but have come to be reliant. I talk myself into buying a pack and I'm so damn convincing. Like "after this pack I'll quit", after this pack etc.... stupid things shouldn't be sold. And I shouldn't be stupid and buy them!
No habit is dropped in one afternoon, but one decision can be made in one afternoon and what comes after it is sticking to that decision. I am happy for everyone who stopped and I am happy I stopped after 15 years as well, but it will always be a journey
Lots of habits are dropped when people get real with themselves and see why they were holding onto the habit. It's a moment of mental discrimination and a conscious choice to drop the whole thing, lock, stock and barrel. When the decision to let go is made completely, there is nothing left to pull on you. Otherwise, yes, it's a journey. This is because one also makes the decision to let go of the habit, but not completely. So the journey lasts as long as it takes to completely let go. This is our show. Everything we experience is our creation.
I once quit smoking for 9 months. I was stupid to try it again and then I never stopped for past year and a half. I stopped smoking through fasting and prayer and trusting upon Jesus. I've done some shameful things unintentionally that made me smoke cigarettes. But I will give it up again and I don't want to smoke cigarettes ever again. It makes me feel guilty because I come from a godly Christian background and I love Jesus very much and I didn't mean to disappoint Him because He owns my life. Cigarettes is bad don't ever try it. I will give it up soon through Jesus Christ ✝️✝️🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏✝️✝️
franklin josiah I just prayed for you franklin. God forgives if you honestly ask so don’t worry about your past. God is good and with him all things are possible. :) I myself want to quit I haven’t “tried” yet. My problem is I smoke when I’m bored and I’m bored fairly often. I have been praying for God to put it in my heart to quit and when I do my first “try?” That will be my mindset.
Any processed food is just as harmful and addictive as cigarettes. Driving cars as well, they are harming all living creatures, including yourself by polluting the environment. If God is the reason why you are going to quit smoking cigarettes because he owns your life than you should consider quiting these other ones that I've mentioned and some more that I haven't too. Quit because you want or need to make a change in your life. Just don't use God for that reason. Anyway, wish you the best!
I love your love for Jesus. We can do all things through Him. He delivered me from smoking weed completely. Now I am on day 3 of trying to quit vaping. The enemy tries to lie to me saying I am depressed now and have nothing to do anymore. I felt the same way after being delivered from my other addictions. Addiction has taken many lives not only in my family, but in this world. Jesus loves you unconditionally, smoking or not smoking. He already died on the cross for all of our sins, every single one,, once you gave your life to Him you have been forgiven, even if you died smoking. You will still be saved. Now however youre still alive so let this be your testimony to share to others how you could not do it without King Jesus and He delivered you. I believe after many of my attempts of trying to kick nicotine, I couldn't, but now He is involved and through Him I can do anything. He waits for His perfect timing. Once we know we cannot do anything without Him and that its only Him. its DONE! thank you Jesus and please give us our Victory in quitting! Bless Franklin. Deliver Him and anyone else trying to quit Lord, Show us your grace and mercy Lord. Thank you!
@@melisagreen285 What a lovely testimony. Yes, satan will try to trip us up to steal, kill and destroy our lives. But as you say, once Jesus has us, and tho the ideal is that we live in freedom, we can never be lost again, no matter what. Such wonderful grace and mercy. Bless His name.
I am smoking while watching this video but deep inside after this video I know that I will go throw all of the packets I have and stop it from today ! Thank you

Camille Hendricks Unfortunately yesterday I slipped after nine days in (after a few drinks with friends) however I’m back at it again today and not had any, it’s all a learning curve
@LethalMoonShine Game vids Congratulations, keep it up. The more you let go, and the more you get bigger than the habit, the more you scorch it away. And so what if you slip, love yourself anyway and take a step forward again and again until you win.
I saw and spoke to many people that you helped with this video! It’s amazing that so many people quit smoking just after watching this video, with what you teach in it! 🤩🥳 fantastic! Keep up the great work you’re doing!!! For all the people out here, I totally recommend watching other of his videos, they just get better and better and I have many of them that helped me!
You got this brother not sure where your at but 14 days in its really hard. Mine is just vape after chew. 60 mg nic salt. But cold turkey after. We have this. You can do this Zach!!!
@@palladium607 Congrats. Yea for me idk something shifted it was like I craved the craving not the thing at that point it was actually somewhat elevating once I had reached that part at around 3 weeks it was just dull and than got easier.
I did this after a 40 yr addiction to alcohol. So glad ppl are studying the mind objectively. The power within. Now you showed me the cigs can go too..just more feelings, patterns left to deal with. I will see. The alcohol was not with purposeful intent, this smoking will be more mindful. Whew life on the other side is crazy good.
I'm on my 10th day clean, I was up to 40 cigarettes a day two packs a day, Smoking Marlboro Black 100's, I started having weird thoughts in my head like something was going to happen to me ( mostly because of my chest pains) So I decided one day just to skip that morning cigarette When I started craving really bad, I would put my cigarette in my mouth But wouldnt light it up And would force myself to do it less and less Go on walks , jogs Do push-ups n sit ups Anything and everything that take my mind off of it
A-L8-1 OFFICIAL i’m trying to quit also I’m on my fourth day it’s just like a drug honey I have with drawls but I’m doing it Keep up the good workI keep on saying mind over matter if you want to quit smoking mind over matter
How did I quit? By thinking about my kids that I someday want to have, I want to be a great role model and caring father. Part of that is caring for my own health, and being a beam of encouragement when I'm in a position like yours. Also at the time of the incident, I was walking with a very beautiful lady and she was not a fan of cigs , that made me think of how I'm not only affecting others but also myself.
I had a sharp pain for multiple days in my left lung everytime i took a deep breath, i quit cold turkey 7days ago, today is the most dificult day because of unforseen circumstances adding to anxiety levels.Good news is the pain is completely gone. I apreciate your video its definetely saving my life getting me through today.. thank you for the video.. Im 2weeks clean, no more cravings no more pain, no more snoring either.. it is absolutely possible to quit guys, all u need is to stay focused for 14-21 days and cigarette smoke will smell disgusting to you.. My in house girlfriend still smokes, so believe me if i can quit ANYBODY can...
@@Alf432 thanx for the advice i actually did that everyday, since i wrote that comment, today, i have no cravings no pains nuthing.. feels amazing quiting is really not that hard after week 2... 14-21days and cigarette smoke will smell disgusting to you..
@@robbholmes9215 you're welcome! Well, the journey of quitting smoking it's not so easy because of the combinations such as coffee, alcohol, and some bad memories of the past, its also accepted from society we see that shit in movies.. sounds bad, but trust me.. stay away from alcohol and parties for awhile till you overcome it! wish you the best man!
@@Alf432 i got pridy drunk on saturday, my in house girlfriend is a smoker, iv had good days and bad days and all i tell myself is 2mro is another day.. Im pridy sure im done, everything has been thrown at me, it even smells disgusting to me, i think the motivation for me is the mind fuck to all my smoker friends and girlfriend that i did it.. so its a mind over matter thing.. i still hav moments that last 3min wer a cigarette wud be amazing but then that feeling goes away
I quit 2 and a half years ago thanks to this video and I feel amazing. Glad I was finally able to see the addiction for what it really is and take back control. Thank you!
For me it was the day when my niece said, "uncie Sam, stop moking, I want you to see be turn 5, she was 4 at the time. I didn't quit cold turkey, but bought a pack and monitored my normal routines, found out I was smoking 16 cigarettes a day. WTF! So, I immediately cheated and cut down to 8 but only smoked half a cigarette and the other half later. I stopped smoking in my car, I didn't bring them to work, except for two, one for my break and one after work. I bought a grip strengthener, started doing box breathing exercises, used the stairs, check to see how long I could hold my breath, and a few other things that I tried, some I liked some I didn't. After 3 months, I quit. Although I did have an occasional puff off a friends, or had too many drinks and had a cigarette or two. But eventually I quit. Every day is a battle. The single best way to quit any addiction is to want to quit, no one is going to do it for you.
I’m on day 2 And I already feel better I still have cravings but you just got to go throw it my tips are to drink loads of fluids and exercise to get the nicotine out I feel so proud of myself ✌️😊😁
This is helpful. I am on my first day with quitting smoking. Something happened last night, I didn’t drink alcohol for couple of months and this last week I relapsed. Felt that empty feeling that it wasn’t satisfying after 4 of 5 beers and immediately felt renewed determination to continue being sober. Never won’t to go back to that place anymore. With these came the strong urge to quit smoking also. This message with self-love and this guided part was so relieving. I always picked up cigarette when feeling sad. Now I am letting go of disapproving myself and I am letting go of condemning myself. Thank you
I did this method without even meaning to 😅. I just started meditation. Now I don't vape or smoke cigs. Why? Because I wanted to see if I could, not for anyone else. Just had something to prove.
Ohhh man you're awesome and thank you!! I had decided to quit smoking May 1st, 2019 because I know is bad for my health and I don't want to die by smoking cancer sticks. I will keep it up and live clean for my 3 children that need me to stay away from smoke.
I quit 32 years ago and don't miss it at all. I found the trick to it was seeing it for what it is....an addiction that is out to kill you. After I found out that the cravings last about two years and finally go away it was easier to see an end to it. When I got cravings, I would conjure up a cigarette monster and fight with it rather then myself because that's what you're dealing with...a monster. Chewing gum helped a lot but I don't believe that nicotine gum is the way to go. You have to start with a commitment and arm yourself against the "MONSTER". Lastly, you have to learn to hate tobacco and understand it's not your friend. Your friend would not want to kill you.
The mind works just like a computer, and you can certainly put some good programs into it. If you could quiet the mind, and have conscious free will, would you still need any programs anymore?
He's got that look you see only once in a while, of someone who has found peace for himself. Or maybe it's compassion. It sure brings calm to the one who is no longer adrift on a sea of confusion and trivial matters.
Power of Quiet Thanks for the advice it's greatly appreciated and I do understand where your coming from i was introduced to that knowledge initially from "The Power of Now" book 1 yr ago. I know you know what your talking about first hand keep going many more need to hear you.
When I originally stumbled upon your videos, I judged you harshly. But I still subscribed because I am addicted to spiritual teachers haha I came across this video today, a day when I said I would stop smoking but didn't. A normal pattern in my life for the past four years. I think I'm in love with you. I am quitting both kratom and Tobacco and Caffeine, which have wrecked havoc on my life. I used to smoke meth, pot and other drugs but got off all that years ago. I decided it's best to quit one program at a time. Kratom is more difficult since the withdrawal is actually significant since it is akin to heroin withdrawal, but not as bad. I will quit kratom first, then once I'm over the initial hump I will drop smoking which has very mild, insignificant withdrawal. I will continue consuming your loving content! You are a great teacher
I was a fool to think i would be able to quit when i wanted to when i first started. Its so difficult, this is definitely gonna be a mental and physical challenge for me. I hope i can pull through.
I feel so incredibly blessed to have this video suggested to me this morning. You have changed me in so many ways with this one 20 minute video. Of course I am subscribing, but your logic and words ...it was so shocking to me that I actually started crying! I am almost speechless...almost lol Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your logic and soul with others. You led me to being a better person today.
Im on exactly 21 days without smoking today, after smoking more than 25 years. Its been my longest without smoking not counting the odd days when i had the flu. Its been very hard the first two weeks but im already feeling much better physically and mentally
i thank you for this video i hope this is saving peoples lives from cancer,unwealthy,and most of all bad habits and negative feelings mentally and physically.
After breathing and sleeping weed for 10 years and drinking alcohol like a fish for 12 years. Just quit one day cold turkey and did not have a problem. Been clean for 8 years now. Dropped it like a boss😏. One week ago after smoking for 20 years went cold turkey. Wish me luck😏..feeling good thus far.
7 months no smoking! 3 months no vaping! Its becoming easier but i get extremely depressed at times. All the times you want to celebrate with a smoke there is nothing there. You must reprogram your life and change all your habits. Its not easy. God bless and best of luck to all
This is a very inspiring video. I noticed a good diet, with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables helps alot. Also a good multivitamin strengthens the body against withdrawal symptoms. Taking fluids and physical activity accelerates the flushing of nicotine from the body through sweating. But most importantly the battle is won in the mind. Once you are in control of the mind, you have won the battle.
Thanks for sharing. The nice thing about cleaning up the mind is still being able to use all the external aids that work as well. As you continue to grow, you can let go of those aids and rely completely on your consciousness.
Came across this video when I needed it the most. Been trying to quit smoking all week.I got this.Smoking my last cigarettes now.Thank you Kris.And you have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much! I’ve been fighting against smoking for 14 years, and everytime i fail i just feel like sh**...but this video really inspired me, i almost cried because it made me look deeper into me and sometimes the truth is hard to swallow, but from now on i want to be strong and tell myself that i can do it, because I CAN and I WILL!! Thank you
That's great, check out the other videos on the channel. They're all about taking a deeper look at you. It's a skill, and as you practice it gets easier and easier.
Day 3. Stopped attaching to feelings of cravings, became bigger than the problem. In the 12 steps they say you should give yourself over to a higher power. Become the higher power. Let the mind take the body back.
I quit cold turkey, i smoked for 9-10 years about 5-6 cigarettes but then started paying attention towards my health and how smoking reduced my stamina, physique and general health quality as it was becoming very obvious. So i quit one day and started eating carrots and beets also did a little cardio that's all, i cant say i have regained my full capacity of stamina as before but it is increasing steadily. I now keep watching motivating videos like this which help me stay focused, good video very inspirational.
Great! Check out some of the other videos here, especially the longer 'meditations.' All of this stuff is connected, so as we keep letting go, everything gets better. Happy you're here.
The way that smoking left me was I said with every ciggerette, " thank you Jesus that you set me free from smoking" . I smoked a pack a day for twenty years , and just at thirty days, I woke up and felt a disgusting feeling toward ciggerettes, and I have not had one since, four years now.
I ended up praying in tears on the floor (never prayed in my life really). I am now 3 years quit being an alcoholic and heavy smoker. Never went to aa meetings, or the doctors. Just literally prayed in tears. I think realizing how weak I was actually helped. Like it was okay to just rest. It was okay to feel not perfect. It was okay to just let God take care of it in whatever way He wanted. All I know is I have stayed away from 2 things I was never able to stop since being 16 (I am now 33). Prayed when I was 30. 3 years quit. I had no willpower btw. Literally none. God took a weak person like me, and somehow I am here 3 years quit.
I have been smoking for 7 years and was tired of it recently. I was breathing weird like my lungs sounded like I was breathing air into a plastic bag, coughing frequently. I did try to quit several times but all of them were in "I'll try to quit" mindset, therefore weren't successful. This time I never felt so determined. I was sick of all this side effects and decided to let whatever happen and thought it wouldn't be worse than continuing to smoke. It's been 7 days now and I feel totally fine. Sometimes I feel cravings but I know they won't last and eventually they will be over. In the meantime I started doing yoga which is a huge help. Also been meditating for almost three months. Good exercise for the mind. Also I recommend "Stop Smoking Sleep Hypnosis Session" by Thomas Hall. It's an 8 hour sequence of powerful hypnotic suggestions. I believe in myself and in whoever is reading this, it is possible to stop smoking. Take control over your life, realize how powerful your mind is!
Gonna go lay in bed for three hours, die, then going for it. Tommorow s the day I quit for life, super done smoking. Uhg, it physically makes me feel like crap.
I smoked for 4 years then i suddenly decided to quit and i did it for 9 months but then i just started because i was under stress and it helped me feel better.Now i want to quit but it just seems impossible.But i will try after watching this video😭
I need more detailed instructions. I'm 5 or so hours in, and had to stop myself from throwing a 2x4 through my neighbors windshield for beeping the horn 10 times and 8:30pm
Check out some of the other videos here. I keep it basic in most of them, and I might mention something in one that would click with you. You can also go to www.powerofquiet.com and put your email in. You'll get information about taking some easy steps beyond what I cover here.
L-tyrosine; it makes you feel like you just had a smoke and will take that terrible anger away. I know that anger and found this amino acid that will develop the dopamine you are missing when you quit smoking. Nicotine has replaced natural hormones in the brain so as the nicotine leaves, the brain has to come up with its natural pharmaceutical design and that takes time. So, L-tyrosine comes into play and will get you through it. If you didn't quit, you can now--500 mg in the morning and after dinner, it will get you through the anger. Use only the capsules not the tablets.
@@c_farther5208 I'd be careful with L-tyrosine. I almost took my kidneys out with it. There's a great video by a hypnotherapist, but for ten minutes he just talks about the endorphin release your body puts out to combat the nicotine. Apparently nicotine doesn't relax us, the protective endorphins do, which we can get from many other healthy things. I'll find the guys name and add it on. I haven't quit yet, but just diagnosed with Kidney cancer, so I have to.
You remind me so much of a relative that I loved so much. You're the kind of personality and spirit of people I like to bring into my life. I watched this because I'm searching for videos for my brother to quit smoking. I'm on a journey of consciousness and enlightenment. I'm going to be starting a youtube channel seeking people of a high level of mind that are into meditation to start meditating at certain times during the week together. I'm trying to bring together the most powerful meditators to heal this planet. Strength in numbers. I would love for you to be part of it when it comes to be. Infinite 💓 DevRa
Sure thing, let me know :) Also, check out some of the longer videos on this channel. They are usually guided meditations from classes and retreats, and go even deeper.
I’m so tired of listening to someone just trying to get a few hundred dollars in their pocket it makes me hate myself that’s the number one habit I have to stop doing listening to money hungry people so much for giving back to humanity.
Been smoking from the moment I wake up to the moment I have to go to sleep for the last couple of months. It’s a habit that I desire to change and will achieve. Although it won’t be easy, I want to feel free and liberated. I am in control! I am strong and ambitious! Tomorrow is a new day for new achievements.
I've quit daily alcohol and nicotine habits. It's funny because I couldn't tell you how I did it, I just thought a lot about the person I wanted to be and then one day I was ready. My advice would be to just keep thinking about what your habits are really doing for you, and whether you want something better for yourself. Tell yourself you can and will do better!
Yes, the mind is a creative instrument - and *everything* us ultimately a decision. That's exactly what you did, and that's exactly how powerful you are.
Today I just had to do a video search on how to quit smoking. Cuz as I was walking my 2 dogs, carrying 2 leashes, stopping to pick up poop, all while out of breath and only having 2 hands to handle all this. I had a thought. Wouldn’t it be easier if you weren’t such a smoking scumbag. I have to look trashy to anyone who sees me trying to balance all this, when if I just put my dirty friend down it would make that moment so much easier. I was programming negative thoughts: I am weak, I can’t quit, I’m such a loser, I hate how they control my life, I am off putting to others, I’m gonna die a horrible death, I’m looking old, I’m destroying my skin.......so I found this video. It opened my eyes. I am in control and this is where I can find my path. I feel great right now. Your words are powerful. I will re-watch it until I really empty out what I need to let go of. Thank you. A+++
Yeah, all that is just words your mind is throwing at you - just words. When you look closely at the mind, you can quickly see it for what it is - just a voice in your head, a recording and playback machine. The only information it has is information that it has recorded (garbage, from the past). But who is that mind talking to? Who is aware of it. When you look, you easily see your True Presence. It's like looking for your eyeglasses, and you've been wearing them the whole time. Stick around and check out the other videos on this channel. ❤
I quit coffee but I had to do it in small increments to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I started with 4 cups of coffee every day then the next week I went down to 3 1/2 and kept decreasing it by 1/2 cup every week until I did not need it anymore
I used to be addicted to smoking 6 months ago. Now I've been cigarette free for the past 3 months. Learn how I was able to treat my smoking addiction here: SmokingFix.xyz
The method is right, if you let your emotions go through you and dont suppress them, living them out you have the best chance at leaving everything thats unhealthy for you. Big up!
Hello, im 26 years old.. This video motivates me to quit smoking.. But, it is very hard to quit instantly.. I will try even more.. I dont wanna beat myself anymore.. Thanks for the video.. Love From India
Most important to remember- 1. Cold Turkey is the best option 2. Replace your cig addiction with working out 3. Never keep count of being smoke free 4. Start detoxing with healthy food and teas 5. Remind that you are cleaning the toxicity inside of your body 6. There is a large population of non smokers than smokers and now you are a part of it
Totally awesome find today. Thank you so much. I've quit many times almost 3 years, months, weeks before cold turkey and relapse but this is incredibly amazingly what i needed 💖Thank you universe. *Feelings* that is where the work lies in giving myself permission to let them up and out without judgement. I appreciate you and i will update with how i get on Married to my original self- Minus smoking😎🌻💜✌🏾 UK
Tanya Duvall I lit one up this morning ,took one puff and then said to God " I don't want to do this any more. " I put it out and got a piece of gum and quit. Ask God and I praise His name.
I quit 25 hour's ago. Been smoking since I was 16 I'm 39 almost 40. I've tried to quit many times. I'm on the patch. I've quit for 6 months before and starred again because of drinking alcohol. Thank God I quit drinking in 2013. I quit drinking cold turkey it was easy for me. But smoking is so hard. I will not smoke another cigarette again. I promised my kids. I want to live for my kids and me so I can see they dreams come true and watch there kids grow. I will succeed this time. It's really hard right now. Lots of craving. I feel foggy and tired but can't rest. I hope everyone is successful in quitting smoking!
You can do it! Those feelings are just feelings. They seem real but it's not like they show up in physical form and push you around. They belong to you, therefore you are the owner, the boss.
My uncle and his wife just left after a two weeks vacation. My uncle was smoking cigarettes during his/wife stay at our house. I don’t smoke cigarettes but when someone does smoke cigarettes I’m like a magnet I start smoking too which I did. The last cigarettes box my uncle left I finished yesterday. I told myself yesterday that I will stop too because he is no longer here, But this morning and during the day all I could think of was wanting to smoke one. I’m watching your video to somehow convince me that I’m not going to the store to buy one.
@@PowerofQuiet indeed. You are the first person I've met who has made it this simple. I've been on my journey for a few years now and this is another huge point along the way. I just wanted to let you know how much this means to me personally as well as the good you're doing for others. From my heart to yours: thank you for sharing this. I will certainly join one of your retreats in the future if,, for no other reason, than to thank you and give you a big Russian hug in person.
And indeed, I feel unlimited. My wife does a therapy where she 'reunited' the broken pieces of my self (childhood, where I switched off... Adulthood with resulting addictions). Once I felt whole, I ran into you and this simple process has now allowed the "whole me" to progress with amazing results. I didn't mention that only two days after watching your first video, I was offered the dream job of my life. It was such a dream that I had never even imagined it. Thank you, my brother.. Spaisibo, muy malinke brat (Russian version). Know that you are deeply appreciated
I quit cold turkey after smoking for about 33 years. Last cig was 6 and a half months ago.
Right on! Willpower is great stuff... making a decision and staying with it through to completion. Congratulations!
Have you killed anyone yet?
@Three Nines I did 11 days once and just finished five days. Will give it another shot though. I really don't want to smoke.
Christina Reynolds LoL ... I don’t know wether to laugh or cry... it’s a psychological mind game. Yet I find so many reasons and moments that trigger the behavior, and the satisfaction from it, makes you desire it more.
When I’m surrounded by people that aren’t smokers or are ill , I don’t smoke around them , could spend 10 hours with them and I’m fine , no anxiety.
But when o leave and. I’m in my car or at my personal space my heart starts pumping , the anguish increases and the craving becomes overwhelming.
And that feeling is my main fear to quitting .
At the same token I’m conscious that I’m giving cigarettes the power to beat my will .
Quit smoking comes to everyone in different way. I know I will reduce more and more til I’m no longer doing so
@Christina Reynolds That has been my experience. Everyone around me can see the difference in my skin tone I look and feel so much better. And yes sleep is also so much better and I can recuperate so much more. There is no downside to stopping smoking. It's like getting back to normal, the way it should be. I have smoked for about 35 years and have quit over a year ago and have never looked back. Not to mention all the money I saved so far. This is a no brainer . I stopped by reading Allen Carr's the Easy Way to stop Smoking. All the best.
i quit cold turkey ..i smoked weed for 8 years and everything that could b smoked...and believe me it was very tough for me but somehow i accumulate power in myself to just get rid of it...and now m clean for about 3 months and m really enjoying myself now
That's awesome. Powerful.
bruh... i quit weed and start smoking again a couple of times every year .. weed is completely different ... tobacco on the other hand .. i have been a daily smoker for over 7 years and i cant quit ... i've tried 3 times each time lasting a week, or untill the weekend .. and then i would get drunk again and i would start smoking again .. now i have been drug/alcohol free for about 6 months because i focused on school but i cant drop the ciggs ..
Martin Gorgievski I guess embrace it, it’s part of who you are.
@@c_farther5208 hang in there man, I haven't gotten the ghost pack phenomenon you speak of, but I had a full body itchy as hell rash as my veins circulation got better. I think things like your experience and other extreme cases of physical or mental symptoms of withdrawal need to be discussed. I think the happy go lucky websites that tell you no major symptoms will occur after 5 to 8 days are misleading.
@@DaRKHuNTeRMK you can do it!!!!
I stopped cold turkey 7 yrs ago. I think the cigarette was stale, which made me gag. I STOPPED that day 7 yrs ago. Amen to that🙌🏽🙏🏽💯
10th day here ... Feeling fantastic! Breathing easy walking easy. Digestion is better then every before. Vision is clear. Much active then before. I smoked for 17 years.
You are amazing! I just smoked my last cigarette and came across your video by accident! It’s a beautiful sign. Thank you ❤️
Since you keep this posted, can I ask if you did quit and what method did you use? I did but the only successful quit was when I used the 4 mg nicotine gum. I was opposed to it initially, but it did the job.
Margo have u quit?
C_ Farther Hi!
I am using that 4 mg nicotine gum but its making me dizzy and I cant breathe.
Do you have the same problem ??? ☹️☹️☹️
Margo are u puffing again? Hope not, just curious
Hey margo .. still holding on?
I went cold turkey exactly two weeks ago. At this point I'm feeling really positive. Good luck to anyone out there.
how are you doing paul, you managed to quit for good?
@@kurtthorsten4463 Yes thanks, as long as I stay away from alcohol...for some reason beer makes me want a cigarette badly!
I failed 14 times, but finally turned it over to God, and did cold turkey. I am 4 years without smoking and working on the 5th year now.
Wow..that's amazing..😊
Amen, Sister! Lord Jesus wiped my addiction after 34 years smoking. I'm 2 years without a cigarette -- the cravings and habit are GONE! Praise God!!
How, after almost 5 years without smoking, you still want to smoke and your words sounds like it's a challenge to refuse smoking
@@metategra9798 now After 10 months do you still strugle? Im 35 days without and have the same questions
Good job girl 👍
3 days without a cigarette ,after 4 years of smoking
The fight with myself is still on …..
Me too
Mee tooo 😞
bro i'm 3 day in, cold turkey after 10 years i'm having anxiety attacks so bad
@@ridhimaverma3469 how is it going??
@@anuragvats807 I was about to ask the same.
I quit December 25th, 2019. Forever.
I wish I could do that..
Thats so amazing, congrats. I'm in the process of quiting
How is the progress going?
I can finally breathe again!!! The devil has been behind my ass though.... trying to tempt me through stressors and other smokers offering me cigarettes [ sharing is caring] but it's going great guy thank you for your support, I support yall so much please quit. Read the book called outwitting the devil and you'll see why smoking and drinking are tools the devil uses to weaken you and your health, health is the most important thing one could have.... be blessed.
@@herschell100 you can, water fast Asap.
i just quit, said the prayer, "thank you Jesus for setting me free from smoking" as i was smoking a freshly lit cigarette. I heard his voice in my heart, saying back to me. "if you want to quit, you are free now."
i snapped the cig in half, and tossed it out the car window.
i feel the freedom in my mind.
thank you x 40
This has to be the most helpful video I've ever seen on quitting. I've quit twice where it was relatively 'easy' because I was in the right mindset... I am quitting for the last time soon and needed to hear this to get back towards that right mindset. Turning it into a punishment, martyrdom, self-disapproval NEVER worked for me. I had to twist and bend the situation until I could do it out of self love. Until it became _spoiling myself_ to quit instead of _depriving myself_ . Thank you. I will be watching this video daily.
Interesting viewpoint. Thank you for sharing
My dad was a HEAVY smoker for 55 years. Trust me, he was a chain smoking addict who rolled his own. He had a health scare of heart palpitations and stopped COLD TURKEY. Never touched another cigarette~ever.
This proves it CAN be done! How bad do you want to quit!? It’s all in the mind 😊
Yes! And congrats to your dad.
Congrats to your dad it's hard decision he had to make.
Day 5 today! Thank you Yeshua for breaking my chains! I have been set free!!
This is me again nearly 2 years later. Still not smoking cigs . I did pick up vaping to quit smoking cigs . It did help obviously, but I am so happy to say that today is 18 days since I put down the vape too!!!
today is my 3rd day after 22 years...i feel great to have changed the habit...
Your comment is just 3 days old and I hope you're holding up and still fighting! I'm also in the process of kicking this 15 year ADDICTION out (1 pack a day), replacing it with nicotine gum and patches (baby steps). Siggghhh, I seriously wish I'd stop smoking for good. 😢
relapse?
5 years of smoking, last cigar is 5 days ago. It is so great that many of us is supporting each other for this campaign " I QUIT SMOKING"
I think I'm addicted to this video, every time I watch it I feel lighter than before thanks to you
Nice :) Check out the other videos here too. The latest one I posted goes very, very deep.
Three days in after quitting cold turkey. This is my first time quitting after smoking 1 1/2 packs a day for the past 8 years. I'm having a bit of a hard time but watching videos like this is helping a lot, thanks! So ready to not have this ridiculous ball and chain attached to me!
Update?
I’m 34 and I smoked for almost 20 years. I did quit but got back to because of alcohol. Anyway.
I quit now, cold turkey, about 6 days ago.
And I can see that Smoking wasn’t my only problem, but it was connected with a lot of other habits, like taking my time and being lazy.
I had some health issues, but it’s nice to get rid of a certain lifestyle.
I had a lot of associations with smoking, bit by bit they go away.
To everyone who wants to quit: get through the first 3 days and then 5
It’s possible
Still smoke free? I'm 34 also been smoking for 17 years every day.
4208jason yes smoke free. Some days were strange but it’s getting better.
wahh Taoo i did have pain sometimes. When I took a deep breath, I could do it only up to a point. That’s gone. Easy breathing all the time.
wahh Taoo no
wahh Taoo get that checked out sharp pain is the body’s way of saying something needs attention
I am over 2 years on and off into smoking. I absolutely hate it but have come to be reliant. I talk myself into buying a pack and I'm so damn convincing. Like "after this pack I'll quit", after this pack etc.... stupid things shouldn't be sold. And I shouldn't be stupid and buy them!
No habit is dropped in one afternoon, but one decision can be made in one afternoon and what comes after it is sticking to that decision. I am happy for everyone who stopped and I am happy I stopped after 15 years as well, but it will always be a journey
Lots of habits are dropped when people get real with themselves and see why they were holding onto the habit. It's a moment of mental discrimination and a conscious choice to drop the whole thing, lock, stock and barrel. When the decision to let go is made completely, there is nothing left to pull on you.
Otherwise, yes, it's a journey. This is because one also makes the decision to let go of the habit, but not completely. So the journey lasts as long as it takes to completely let go.
This is our show. Everything we experience is our creation.
I once quit smoking for 9 months. I was stupid to try it again and then I never stopped for past year and a half. I stopped smoking through fasting and prayer and trusting upon Jesus. I've done some shameful things unintentionally that made me smoke cigarettes. But I will give it up again and I don't want to smoke cigarettes ever again. It makes me feel guilty because I come from a godly Christian background and I love Jesus very much and I didn't mean to disappoint Him because He owns my life. Cigarettes is bad don't ever try it. I will give it up soon through Jesus Christ ✝️✝️🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏✝️✝️
franklin josiah I just prayed for you franklin. God forgives if you honestly ask so don’t worry about your past. God is good and with him all things are possible. :) I myself want to quit I haven’t “tried” yet. My problem is I smoke when I’m bored and I’m bored fairly often. I have been praying for God to put it in my heart to quit and when I do my first “try?” That will be my mindset.
Love is the answer
Any processed food is just as harmful and addictive as cigarettes. Driving cars as well, they are harming all living creatures, including yourself by polluting the environment. If God is the reason why you are going to quit smoking cigarettes because he owns your life than you should consider quiting these other ones that I've mentioned and some more that I haven't too. Quit because you want or need to make a change in your life. Just don't use God for that reason. Anyway, wish you the best!
I love your love for Jesus. We can do all things through Him. He delivered me from smoking weed completely. Now I am on day 3 of trying to quit vaping. The enemy tries to lie to me saying I am depressed now and have nothing to do anymore. I felt the same way after being delivered from my other addictions. Addiction has taken many lives not only in my family, but in this world. Jesus loves you unconditionally, smoking or not smoking. He already died on the cross for all of our sins, every single one,, once you gave your life to Him you have been forgiven, even if you died smoking. You will still be saved. Now however youre still alive so let this be your testimony to share to others how you could not do it without King Jesus and He delivered you. I believe after many of my attempts of trying to kick nicotine, I couldn't, but now He is involved and through Him I can do anything. He waits for His perfect timing. Once we know we cannot do anything without Him and that its only Him. its DONE! thank you Jesus and please give us our Victory in quitting! Bless Franklin. Deliver Him and anyone else trying to quit Lord, Show us your grace and mercy Lord. Thank you!
@@melisagreen285
What a lovely testimony. Yes, satan will try to trip us up to steal, kill and destroy our lives. But as you say, once Jesus has us, and tho the ideal is that we live in freedom, we can never be lost again, no matter what. Such wonderful grace and mercy. Bless His name.

1 week today cold turkey after seven years of smoking, it’s hard but do able, don’t give up people
How are you doing???
Camille Hendricks Unfortunately yesterday I slipped after nine days in (after a few drinks with friends) however I’m back at it again today and not had any, it’s all a learning curve
You can do it! Don't stop until you've quit ! You've got this !
Camille Hendricks thank you for the support, I’m hoping I can beat this
@LethalMoonShine Game vids Congratulations, keep it up. The more you let go, and the more you get bigger than the habit, the more you scorch it away. And so what if you slip, love yourself anyway and take a step forward again and again until you win.
I saw and spoke to many people that you helped with this video! It’s amazing that so many people quit smoking just after watching this video, with what you teach in it! 🤩🥳 fantastic! Keep up the great work you’re doing!!! For all the people out here, I totally recommend watching other of his videos, they just get better and better and I have many of them that helped me!
2 days deep. After 12 years
That’s awesome! Keep letting the feelings pass through, and it’s easy. And what you’re letting go of is going to uncover a lot of freedom for you.
You got this brother not sure where your at but 14 days in its really hard. Mine is just vape after chew. 60 mg nic salt. But cold turkey after. We have this. You can do this Zach!!!
Just curious, are you a nonsmoker now?
@@FiresEmber funny...around the two week Mark was brutal for me but once I got past that it's been quite smooth ever since!
@@palladium607 Congrats. Yea for me idk something shifted it was like I craved the craving not the thing at that point it was actually somewhat elevating once I had reached that part at around 3 weeks it was just dull and than got easier.
I feel so much better already I quit smoking
Great! 😊
I did this after a 40 yr addiction to alcohol. So glad ppl are studying the mind objectively. The power within. Now you showed me the cigs can go too..just more feelings, patterns left to deal with. I will see. The alcohol was not with purposeful intent, this smoking will be more mindful. Whew life on the other side is crazy good.
I'm on my 10th day clean, I was up to 40 cigarettes a day two packs a day,
Smoking Marlboro Black 100's,
I started having weird thoughts in my head like something was going to happen to me ( mostly because of my chest pains)
So I decided one day just to skip that morning cigarette
When I started craving really bad,
I would put my cigarette in my mouth
But wouldnt light it up
And would force myself to do it less and less
Go on walks , jogs
Do push-ups n sit ups
Anything and everything that take my mind off of it
A-L8-1 OFFICIAL i’m trying to quit also I’m on my fourth day it’s just like a drug honey I have with drawls but I’m doing it Keep up the good workI keep on saying mind over matter if you want to quit smoking mind over matter
You have to change ur dp my friend hehe
How did I quit?
By thinking about my kids that I someday want to have, I want to be a great role model and caring father. Part of that is caring for my own health, and being a beam of encouragement when I'm in a position like yours. Also at the time of the incident, I was walking with a very beautiful lady and she was not a fan of cigs , that made me think of how I'm not only affecting others but also myself.
You well be a great dad because you quit for your future children and wife. 😊
I had a sharp pain for multiple days in my left lung everytime i took a deep breath, i quit cold turkey 7days ago, today is the most dificult day because of unforseen circumstances adding to anxiety levels.Good news is the pain is completely gone. I apreciate your video its definetely saving my life getting me through today.. thank you for the video..
Im 2weeks clean, no more cravings no more pain, no more snoring either.. it is absolutely possible to quit guys, all u need is to stay focused for 14-21 days and cigarette smoke will smell disgusting to you.. My in house girlfriend still smokes, so believe me if i can quit ANYBODY can...
drink water as much as you can.
@@Alf432 thanx for the advice i actually did that everyday, since i wrote that comment, today, i have no cravings no pains nuthing.. feels amazing quiting is really not that hard after week 2... 14-21days and cigarette smoke will smell disgusting to you..
@@robbholmes9215 you're welcome! Well, the journey of quitting smoking it's not so easy because of the combinations such as coffee, alcohol, and some bad memories of the past, its also accepted from society we see that shit in movies.. sounds bad, but trust me.. stay away from alcohol and parties for awhile till you overcome it!
wish you the best man!
@@Alf432 i got pridy drunk on saturday, my in house girlfriend is a smoker, iv had good days and bad days and all i tell myself is 2mro is another day.. Im pridy sure im done, everything has been thrown at me, it even smells disgusting to me, i think the motivation for me is the mind fuck to all my smoker friends and girlfriend that i did it.. so its a mind over matter thing.. i still hav moments that last 3min wer a cigarette wud be amazing but then that feeling goes away
how is it going?
I quit 2 and a half years ago thanks to this video and I feel amazing. Glad I was finally able to see the addiction for what it really is and take back control. Thank you!
For me it was the day when my niece said, "uncie Sam, stop moking, I want you to see be turn 5, she was 4 at the time.
I didn't quit cold turkey, but bought a pack and monitored my normal routines, found out I was smoking 16 cigarettes a day. WTF!
So, I immediately cheated and cut down to 8 but only smoked half a cigarette and the other half later.
I stopped smoking in my car, I didn't bring them to work, except for two, one for my break and one after work.
I bought a grip strengthener, started doing box breathing exercises, used the stairs, check to see how long I could hold my breath, and a few other things that I tried, some I liked some I didn't. After 3 months, I quit. Although I did have an occasional puff off a friends, or had too many drinks and had a cigarette or two. But eventually I quit.
Every day is a battle.
The single best way to quit any addiction is to want to quit, no one is going to do it for you.
Your method doesn't work for most people you usually wind up thinking about smoking all the time and most likely wind up smoking more
I’m on day 2 And I already feel better I still have cravings but you just got to go throw it my tips are to drink loads of fluids and exercise to get the nicotine out I feel so proud of myself ✌️😊😁
Day 3 now :) !!!
That's great! How are you keeping up?
@@PowerofQuiet 😊 Polly back at it
Lol
Update???
Someone give this man a ted talk.
and another one

This is helpful. I am on my first day with quitting smoking. Something happened last night, I didn’t drink alcohol for couple of months and this last week I relapsed. Felt that empty feeling that it wasn’t satisfying after 4 of 5 beers and immediately felt renewed determination to continue being sober. Never won’t to go back to that place anymore. With these came the strong urge to quit smoking also. This message with self-love and this guided part was so relieving. I always picked up cigarette when feeling sad. Now I am letting go of disapproving myself and I am letting go of condemning myself. Thank you
I did this method without even meaning to 😅. I just started meditation. Now I don't vape or smoke cigs. Why? Because I wanted to see if I could, not for anyone else. Just had something to prove.
Nice! 😃
Ohhh man you're awesome and thank you!! I had decided to quit smoking May 1st, 2019 because I know is bad for my health and I don't want to die by smoking cancer sticks. I will keep it up and live clean for my 3 children that need me to stay away from smoke.
That's awesome! Thanks for being here.
I quit 32 years ago and don't miss it at all. I found the trick to it was seeing it for what it is....an addiction that is out to kill you. After I found out that the cravings last about two years and finally go away it was easier to see an end to it. When I got cravings, I would conjure up a cigarette monster and fight with it rather then myself because that's what you're dealing with...a monster. Chewing gum helped a lot but I don't believe that nicotine gum is the way to go. You have to start with a commitment and arm yourself against the "MONSTER". Lastly, you have to learn to hate tobacco and understand it's not your friend. Your friend would not want to kill you.
As a long term meditater and ex smoker I can confirm that autosuggestions is a very powerful tool to get ahead in life in every way.
What do you mean by autosuggestions?
The mind works just like a computer, and you can certainly put some good programs into it. If you could quiet the mind, and have conscious free will, would you still need any programs anymore?
He's got that look you see only once in a while, of someone who has found peace for himself. Or maybe it's compassion. It sure brings calm to the one who is no longer adrift on a sea of confusion and trivial matters.
I'm on Day 2 of not smoking and I know I can get this shit done cause I'm a fuckin warrior and I shalt not be defeated!! 💪🏿💪🏿✊🏾👑
Stay in the moment. When you are aware that there is no past or future, you can easily stay with your decision without anything pulling you back.
Power of Quiet Thanks for the advice it's greatly appreciated and I do understand where your coming from i was introduced to that knowledge initially from "The Power of Now" book 1 yr ago. I know you know what your talking about first hand keep going many more need to hear you.
Thank you so much for that feedback. It shows that any of us can achieve this state.
When I originally stumbled upon your videos, I judged you harshly. But I still subscribed because I am addicted to spiritual teachers haha I came across this video today, a day when I said I would stop smoking but didn't. A normal pattern in my life for the past four years. I think I'm in love with you. I am quitting both kratom and Tobacco and Caffeine, which have wrecked havoc on my life. I used to smoke meth, pot and other drugs but got off all that years ago. I decided it's best to quit one program at a time. Kratom is more difficult since the withdrawal is actually significant since it is akin to heroin withdrawal, but not as bad. I will quit kratom first, then once I'm over the initial hump I will drop smoking which has very mild, insignificant withdrawal. I will continue consuming your loving content! You are a great teacher
By the end of this video I was smiling......I'm going to do it!!!
Jimmy D mee too.. im starting tomorrow.. Good luck
So did it work for you?

Im 4 days in
Im on exactly 21 days without smoking today, after smoking more than 25 years. Its been my longest without smoking not counting the odd days when i had the flu. Its been very hard the first two weeks but im already feeling much better physically and mentally
i thank you for this video i hope this is saving peoples lives from cancer,unwealthy,and most of all bad habits and negative feelings mentally and physically.
After breathing and sleeping weed for 10 years and drinking alcohol like a fish for 12 years. Just quit one day cold turkey and did not have a problem. Been clean for 8 years now. Dropped it like a boss😏. One week ago after smoking for 20 years went cold turkey. Wish me luck😏..feeling good thus far.
That's awesome! :)
You will succeed ! Be strong!
7 months no smoking! 3 months no vaping! Its becoming easier but i get extremely depressed at times. All the times you want to celebrate with a smoke there is nothing there. You must reprogram your life and change all your habits. Its not easy. God bless and best of luck to all
What is vaping ?
I am trying to quit smoking... Only 24 hours have passed... They were not that tough if u have a will...
This is a very inspiring video. I noticed a good diet, with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables helps alot. Also a good multivitamin strengthens the body against withdrawal symptoms. Taking fluids and physical activity accelerates the flushing of nicotine from the body through sweating. But most importantly the battle is won in the mind. Once you are in control of the mind, you have won the battle.
Thanks for sharing. The nice thing about cleaning up the mind is still being able to use all the external aids that work as well. As you continue to grow, you can let go of those aids and rely completely on your consciousness.
Came across this video when I needed it the most. Been trying to quit smoking all week.I got this.Smoking my last cigarettes now.Thank you Kris.And you have a new subscriber.
That's wonderful! Keep it up and let me know any way I can help.
Thank you very much!
I’ve been fighting against smoking for 14 years, and everytime i fail i just feel like sh**...but this video really inspired me, i almost cried because it made me look deeper into me and sometimes the truth is hard to swallow, but from now on i want to be strong and tell myself that i can do it, because I CAN and I WILL!!
Thank you
That's great, check out the other videos on the channel. They're all about taking a deeper look at you. It's a skill, and as you practice it gets easier and easier.
first day cold turkey after smoking for 4 years. wish me luck 🙌🏽
Day 3. Stopped attaching to feelings of cravings, became bigger than the problem. In the 12 steps they say you should give yourself over to a higher power. Become the higher power. Let the mind take the body back.
I quit cold turkey, i smoked for 9-10 years about 5-6 cigarettes but then started paying attention towards my health and how smoking reduced my stamina, physique and general health quality as it was becoming very obvious. So i quit one day and started eating carrots and beets also did a little cardio that's all, i cant say i have regained my full capacity of stamina as before but it is increasing steadily. I now keep watching motivating videos like this which help me stay focused, good video very inspirational.
Great! Check out some of the other videos here, especially the longer 'meditations.' All of this stuff is connected, so as we keep letting go, everything gets better. Happy you're here.
I am 70 yrs old and started smoking properly at the age of 15. Have been trying to kick the habit all my life. Will let you know how I go!
The way that smoking left me was I said with every ciggerette, " thank you Jesus that you set me free from smoking" . I smoked a pack a day for twenty years , and just at thirty days, I woke up and felt a disgusting feeling toward ciggerettes, and I have not had one since, four years now.
That's a great method... turning it over to God, and holding in mind that you have already been set free.
That's amazing
I’m gonna pray about it. Jesus will help me quit ❤️ and thx for the video
Daddy No I’ll pray for you too.
Thanks so much. ❤️
I ended up praying in tears on the floor (never prayed in my life really). I am now 3 years quit being an alcoholic and heavy smoker. Never went to aa meetings, or the doctors. Just literally prayed in tears. I think realizing how weak I was actually helped. Like it was okay to just rest. It was okay to feel not perfect. It was okay to just let God take care of it in whatever way He wanted. All I know is I have stayed away from 2 things I was never able to stop since being 16 (I am now 33). Prayed when I was 30. 3 years quit. I had no willpower btw. Literally none.
God took a weak person like me, and somehow I am here 3 years quit.
Faith, Hope and Love ahahaha, god doesn’t exist.
I really needed to hear this! I have both eating problems and smoking. Trying to unravel all of this. Thank you!
I have been smoking for 7 years and was tired of it recently. I was breathing weird like my lungs sounded like I was breathing air into a plastic bag, coughing frequently. I did try to quit several times but all of them were in "I'll try to quit" mindset, therefore weren't successful. This time I never felt so determined. I was sick of all this side effects and decided to let whatever happen and thought it wouldn't be worse than continuing to smoke. It's been 7 days now and I feel totally fine. Sometimes I feel cravings but I know they won't last and eventually they will be over. In the meantime I started doing yoga which is a huge help. Also been meditating for almost three months. Good exercise for the mind. Also I recommend "Stop Smoking Sleep Hypnosis Session" by Thomas Hall. It's an 8 hour sequence of powerful hypnotic suggestions. I believe in myself and in whoever is reading this, it is possible to stop smoking. Take control over your life, realize how powerful your mind is!
Day one...23 years of smoking' this vid is helpful ❤

did it work?
Thanks so much for making this video , thank you for being the person you are and sharing your lovely personality and spiritual wisdom with us
Thanks Vincent :)
I smoked for 4 years then i suddenly decided to quit and i did it for 9 months but then i just started because i was under stress and it helped me feel better.Now i want to quit but it just seems impossible.But i will try after watching this video😭
I need more detailed instructions. I'm 5 or so hours in, and had to stop myself from throwing a 2x4 through my neighbors windshield for beeping the horn 10 times and 8:30pm
Check out some of the other videos here. I keep it basic in most of them, and I might mention something in one that would click with you. You can also go to www.powerofquiet.com and put your email in. You'll get information about taking some easy steps beyond what I cover here.
How are you doing?
Hahahahahahahahaha
L-tyrosine; it makes you feel like you just had a smoke and will take that terrible anger away. I know that anger and found this amino acid that will develop the dopamine you are missing when you quit smoking. Nicotine has replaced natural hormones in the brain so as the nicotine leaves, the brain has to come up with its natural pharmaceutical design and that takes time. So, L-tyrosine comes into play and will get you through it. If you didn't quit, you can now--500 mg in the morning and after dinner, it will get you through the anger. Use only the capsules not the tablets.
@@c_farther5208 I'd be careful with L-tyrosine. I almost took my kidneys out with it. There's a great video by a hypnotherapist, but for ten minutes he just talks about the endorphin release your body puts out to combat the nicotine. Apparently nicotine doesn't relax us, the protective endorphins do, which we can get from many other healthy things. I'll find the guys name and add it on. I haven't quit yet, but just diagnosed with Kidney cancer, so I have to.
I love myself even more.
You remind me so much of a relative that I loved so much. You're the kind of personality and spirit of people I like to bring into my life. I watched this because I'm searching for videos for my brother to quit smoking. I'm on a journey of consciousness and enlightenment. I'm going to be starting a youtube channel seeking people of a high level of mind that are into meditation to start meditating at certain times during the week together. I'm trying to bring together the most powerful meditators to heal this planet. Strength in numbers. I would love for you to be part of it when it comes to be.

Sure thing, let me know :) Also, check out some of the longer videos on this channel. They are usually guided meditations from classes and retreats, and go even deeper.
@@PowerofQuiet Oh I will! 🌞
I’m so tired of listening to someone just trying to get a few hundred dollars in their pocket it makes me hate myself that’s the number one habit I have to stop doing listening to money hungry people so much for giving back to humanity.
Been smoking from the moment I wake up to the moment I have to go to sleep for the last couple of months. It’s a habit that I desire to change and will achieve. Although it won’t be easy, I want to feel free and liberated. I am in control! I am strong and ambitious! Tomorrow is a new day for new achievements.
Thank you For making this support video.
Day 21 after 12 years of smoking. I’m super confident about it and feel like I’m going to succeed
Watch it on higher speed mode. Thanks me later
I thank you not. Your advice isn't productive or even good.
I left after 25 years of smoking and I am flying in the heavens 😊
I've quit daily alcohol and nicotine habits. It's funny because I couldn't tell you how I did it, I just thought a lot about the person I wanted to be and then one day I was ready. My advice would be to just keep thinking about what your habits are really doing for you, and whether you want something better for yourself. Tell yourself you can and will do better!
Yes, the mind is a creative instrument - and *everything* us ultimately a decision. That's exactly what you did, and that's exactly how powerful you are.
Today I just had to do a video search on how to quit smoking. Cuz as I was walking my 2 dogs, carrying 2 leashes, stopping to pick up poop, all while out of breath and only having 2 hands to handle all this. I had a thought. Wouldn’t it be easier if you weren’t such a smoking scumbag. I have to look trashy to anyone who sees me trying to balance all this, when if I just put my dirty friend down it would make that moment so much easier. I was programming negative thoughts: I am weak, I can’t quit, I’m such a loser, I hate how they control my life, I am off putting to others, I’m gonna die a horrible death, I’m looking old, I’m destroying my skin.......so I found this video. It opened my eyes. I am in control and this is where I can find my path. I feel great right now. Your words are powerful. I will re-watch it until I really empty out what I need to let go of. Thank you. A+++
Yeah, all that is just words your mind is throwing at you - just words. When you look closely at the mind, you can quickly see it for what it is - just a voice in your head, a recording and playback machine. The only information it has is information that it has recorded (garbage, from the past).
But who is that mind talking to? Who is aware of it. When you look, you easily see your True Presence. It's like looking for your eyeglasses, and you've been wearing them the whole time.
Stick around and check out the other videos on this channel. ❤
I quit coffee but I had to do it in small increments to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I started with 4 cups of coffee every day then the next week I went down to 3 1/2 and kept decreasing it by 1/2 cup every week until I did not need it anymore
very good and exactly what i was looking for. thank you.
I used to be addicted to smoking 6 months ago. Now I've been cigarette free for the past 3 months. Learn how I was able to treat my smoking addiction here: SmokingFix.xyz
I'm in so much debt from my habits that I can't afford the course yet, but this video has helped me a great deal. Thank you.
Wow this is a great video, it really even goes beyond just smoking, this is (dare i say) enlightenment in some ways.
Yes :)
Great video Power of Quiet, thanks!
The method is right, if you let your emotions go through you and dont suppress them, living them out you have the best chance at leaving everything thats unhealthy for you. Big up!
Hello, im 26 years old.. This video motivates me to quit smoking.. But, it is very hard to quit instantly.. I will try even more.. I dont wanna beat myself anymore.. Thanks for the video.. Love From India
Most important to remember-
1. Cold Turkey is the best option
2. Replace your cig addiction with working out
3. Never keep count of being smoke free
4. Start detoxing with healthy food and teas
5. Remind that you are cleaning the toxicity inside of your body
6. There is a large population of non smokers than smokers and now you are a part of it
Exactly
Thank you so much for your help......its 4 days now and i really needed your words to carry on with not smoking any more.... :)
Totally awesome find today. Thank you so much. I've quit many times almost 3 years, months, weeks before cold turkey and relapse but this is incredibly amazingly what i needed 💖Thank you universe. *Feelings* that is where the work lies in giving myself permission to let them up and out without judgement. I appreciate you and i will update with how i get on Married to my original self- Minus smoking😎🌻💜✌🏾 UK
Im tired of smoking..help me
You can definitely stop the habit.
Tanya Duvall I lit one up this morning ,took one puff and then said to God " I don't want to do this any more. " I put it out and got a piece of gum and quit. Ask God and I praise His name.
it sucks
@@bonnieepperson6655 God loves you, i hope you are ok now
@@enlightenedfriend3043 dafaq does "God" have anything to do with her smoking ? . Zzz
I quit 25 hour's ago. Been smoking since I was 16 I'm 39 almost 40. I've tried to quit many times. I'm on the patch. I've quit for 6 months before and starred again because of drinking alcohol. Thank God I quit drinking in 2013. I quit drinking cold turkey it was easy for me. But smoking is so hard. I will not smoke another cigarette again. I promised my kids. I want to live for my kids and me so I can see they dreams come true and watch there kids grow. I will succeed this time. It's really hard right now. Lots of craving. I feel foggy and tired but can't rest. I hope everyone is successful in quitting smoking!
You can do it! Those feelings are just feelings. They seem real but it's not like they show up in physical form and push you around. They belong to you, therefore you are the owner, the boss.
While watching this video I had my last cigarette. I will do it. Thank you.
How did it go?
My uncle and his wife just left after a two weeks vacation. My uncle was smoking cigarettes during his/wife stay at our house. I don’t smoke cigarettes but when someone does smoke cigarettes I’m like a magnet I start smoking too which I did. The last cigarettes box my uncle left I finished yesterday. I told myself yesterday that I will stop too because he is no longer here, But this morning and during the day all I could think of was wanting to smoke one. I’m watching your video to somehow convince me that I’m not going to the store to buy one.
This is a good video. Better than most I've watched for smoking cessation.
I wish I could give you a hug. This video hit home so hard that it made me tear up. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. Yes, this shows us the joy, love and perfection that's been inside us all along.
Started crying 4 minutes in. Thank you.
It's awesome when you open up and see the power and beauty inside of you.
Quit addiction to alcohol in a day. This is über power
Congratulations, that is fantastic! That goes to show just how powerful you are when you get the thoughts/feelings out of the way. You are unlimited.
@@PowerofQuiet indeed. You are the first person I've met who has made it this simple. I've been on my journey for a few years now and this is another huge point along the way.
I just wanted to let you know how much this means to me personally as well as the good you're doing for others. From my heart to yours: thank you for sharing this.
I will certainly join one of your retreats in the future if,, for no other reason, than to thank you and give you a big Russian hug in person.
And indeed, I feel unlimited. My wife does a therapy where she 'reunited' the broken pieces of my self (childhood, where I switched off... Adulthood with resulting addictions). Once I felt whole, I ran into you and this simple process has now allowed the "whole me" to progress with amazing results.
I didn't mention that only two days after watching your first video, I was offered the dream job of my life. It was such a dream that I had never even imagined it.
Thank you, my brother..
Spaisibo, muy malinke brat (Russian version).
Know that you are deeply appreciated
I did too
Stopped drinking 8 years ago
And stopped smoking a year ago
Only way to go for addicts is to quit cold turkey
For me it’s finally time I gotta quit. Can’t keep this up for the rest of my life it’ll be what kills me.
Love and support to you on your intention 👍
Watching this while smoking.
My Guy!!! This is working so much!!!!
